president HARDING, addressing

DRESIDENT HARDING, addressing
the extra session of congress which
opened Monday Of last week, appealed
for the enactment of a ship subsidy
bill. He said there were but three
courses to be taken In this matter
constructive, obstructive and de-
structive." And though he admitted
there is, even in his own party, de-
cided opposition to such measure, he
urged that congress take the construc-
tive course. He argued that the meas
ure as drafted provided complete safe
guards against exploitation for fa-
yored interests and said that he be-
lieved governme1t aid for the mer-
chant marine was as justifiable as gov
eminent aid of industry through tariff
laws or railways through land grants
and loans. and government expendi-
lures for good roads, inland water
ways, reclamation and irrigation
projects.
Mr.. Harding especially emphasized
the point that the contemplated legis-
lation would not call for new expendi-
lures, but instead proposes to substi-
tute for the present annual drain of
S50,O00,000 upon the public treasury
direct compensation equal to trifle
more than half that amount
Congress listened to the President
calmly and coldly and then the major
ity got busy with the program, to do
the best it could in the circumstances.
The bill was quickly reported favor
ably by the committee on merchant
marine, and on Wednesday the house
adopted a special rule for it's consider
alton. This provided for three DAYS of
general debate and three for consider
alton of amendments, and "a final vote
oil Wednesday of this week.. Mean
! while the Democratic members in eau
Gus decided to oppose the measure
solidly. and some Republicans let it
be known they would vote in the mega
tive because they thought the people
of their districts didn't want the bill.
THERE were two interesting fea-
4 lures of the senate'S session Tues
day. The first was the swearing in of
the first woman to hold seat in the
United States senate-Mrs. w. H. Eel
ton of Georgia. Senator-elect George
. delayed the presentation of his Gre
dentials that this historic event might
take place. Next day Mrs. FELTON,
answered once to her name in the roll
call, told the senate how proud she
was, and retired after % hours and
25 minutes of actual service
The other feature was the bringing
up of the Ku Klux Klan,matter. A let
ter from Governor Parker of Louisiana
to New York eN-service man was
read by Senator Walsh of Massachu-
sets. II urged that senators and con-
gressmen be asked to assist in COM
batting. the organization. Governor
Parker was in Washington at the time.

FRUIT AND TRUCK
 GROWERS CONFER
Feel They Made Real Progress To- ward Real Marketing Program Will Meet Again on Janu-
 uary 2S.

A movement to organize the Polk county truck growers along business and systematic lines was held Friday at the Commercial Club office. The interest in the movement was so in- tense that the meeting which was called for 10 o'clock a. m. was con- tinued thru the noon hour without intermission. Some of the growers, who have been attending meetings for years, were free to say at the close of this session that more pro- gress had been made to get started on real fundamental lines than had been done in all of the meetings of the past.
 The movement is a part of the pro- gram to organize the growers from Ashdown to Acorn in one central mar keting agency, the inspiration having come to Polk county folks thru a visit made to De Queen last month by bankers, business men and farmers, where it was learned what had been accomplished along not only the line of organization but also along the line of making truck and small fruit growing more intensive. Before the organization will be finally perfected in this country, c. H. Alspaugh, farm demonstration agent, will obtain some more essential facts from the men in charge of the organization in Sevier county. Another meeting will be held at the club office on Saturday, January 2S, at 10:30 o'clock at which time MT. Alspaugh will have the required information. It is urged that the members of the Berry Growers Association meet at the same time and place, so that a merger of the organization may be brought about. Really, all that are interested in fruit and truck growing are urged to attend the meeting, formal call for which will be found elsewhere.

NEW EPOCH FOR MEMBERS
 OF MENA HI FOOTBALL TEAM
Twelve Members of the 1921 Squad Receive Coveted Letters" and
 Fine Sweaters.

For the first time in the history of Mena High school members of the football team have been rewarded for their work on the gridiron with let ters." Twelve members of the 1921 squad have been awarded the coveted "M" together with fine sweater In celebration of the notable event a meeting was held at the high school auditorium Monday afternoon, and the football players awarded their honors i'll an appropriate ceremony The pro- gram included vocal selections by Ed Leeper and Compere Pipkin, selections by the high school orchestra and the reading by Lena Hilton of an article, "0ur Team," written by Principal E.. H. Freeman.
 In presenting the sweaters to the twelve letter men, Principal Freeman, who was coach of the team, told of the splendid work of the boys, how they had kept themselves physically and mentally fit for a place in the squad i; how they had gone thru strenuous practice day after day in their effort to make Mena Hi one of the best elev- ems in the state, and finally how they had made score of 167 against 27 made by their opponents, an unusual ly good record.
 He then gave sweaters to the twelve players who had done such splendid work on the football field-Lake Wood Homer Cole, Edward Leeper, Wallace Townsend, Otto Morrow, Herbert Bair Ted Hogan, Layamon Looney, Aaron Goss, Garland Beavers, Charlie Lit tleton and Alton Lacefield.
 The smile of each boy, as he re- ceived his sweater, was evidence of the fact that he was most delighted to get it; and well he might be, too, for the sweaters are beautiful heavy, cardi-, nal, wool sweaters with an eight-inch black "M" in front and black and black service stripes on the left arm
 Lake Wood, captain, in behalf of the other boys, expressed his appreciation to Mir. Freeman for his wonderful work as coach of the team.
 It is due entirely to the efforts of Mr. Freeman, who has taken so much interest in the boys, that the Mena High school has produced one of the best football teams in the state, and it was because of his. good work that some of the enterprising merchants of our town made possible the reward of the beautiful sweaters for the boys

TAX COLLECTOR
 FINDS BUSY DAYS
Sheriff Thornton and Assistants Max ing Many Tax Receipts Despite Quarantine and Weather-In-
 teresting Figures.

Despite quarantine regulations, bad
 weather and so-called hard times,
 Sheriff Thornton and his assistants
 are being kept busy making out tax
 receipts at his office in the court
 house. For the first time in history
 tax payers have got to come to the
 collectors office instead of the official
 making the customary rounds of the county. Sheriff Thornton is charged
 with the collection of total of $210,-
 760.96 as against $215,081.80 last year. Tho the grand total is slightly less than last year there are some items of tax collections that show an increase. For instance in 1921 there were only 3744 poll taxes to be col- lected, while this year the number is increased to 4129, The total of taxes for city purposes (Mena and Hat field) was $729S.S4 last year while this year the figure is S7S54.l3. An other slight increase is in the amount collected for the Jefferson highway. In 1921 the total was $29,918.68, and this year the figures are $3S,6S7.42. Decreases are in dog taxes which last year were a total of $1651 as against S1415 this year. Last year the taxes for county purposes were $28,089.99; this year they are $27,617.74 While the total assessments in the Jeffer- son highway district are slightly larger than last year, due to the one per cent raise in the amount, the to- tai collections for highway purposes in the county is considerably less this year, as assessments were made in only one district.

By this time, everybody in town in- terested in the early history of our country knows that the children Of our schsbols are spending much oi their leisure time on their George Washington Essays. They are ram sacking the libraries, and asking fath- CT and mother and big sister and brother and every other dependable authority for all the information they can get. Each wants Co win one Of the three prizes offered by the Jack son Drug Company for the first, sec ond. or third best essay written by the children under eighteen of the pubic schools and submitted not later than Wednesday, February 22, 1922.
 With a subject so stirring and so significant as "Washington's Services as President to His Country" some masterpieces surely will result, and the judges will have the usual diff cuIty in selecting the winners. The inspiration of this Prize Essay Plan is a painting by k. Percy Moran, q distinguished artist. Reproductions in color of this picture were sent to all the school rooms in the county that the pupil may study ana get the de- sired impetus to go deeper into the history of The Father of Our Coun- try.
 Such research is sure to be a great uplift to this community. We all realize that one of our great aims is to get back to the sterling traits of Americanism fostered by our First President and the other sacrificing | men and women of his time. 4 con test such as this will be great stim- ulus to all of us born in America, and a great guide and support to the for eign-born who are now making their homes with us. What Washington did for the purpose of making America first is what all thinking people of our land should try to emulate.

Miss Robertson stated that two youngsters appeared in front of the school, armed with a rifle, carry ing a fruit jar and also fiddle.

GIGANTIC DAM PROJECT FOR
FALMOUTH

Options were recorded at Fall
mouth on 142 acres of land border
ing the Licking River between Fall
mouth and McKinneysburg which it
is projected to utilize in the estab-
lishment of a. hydro-electric dam
from which to generate vast power
of distribution over a radius of 100
miles. The dam, power plant and
lands will represent an outlay of
100000, and a railroad to con-
meet with the L. & N. is to be built
along the river. The dam, to be
constructed between perpendicular
walls on the Docia Logan farm, is to
be of terraced type, 800 yards long
and 100 feet at the crown. Engi-
neers figure on the same power re-
sources as furnished at Niagara
Falls. Above the dam the river will
be made navigable for $50 miles.
Contracts for right of way and lands
have been made in the name of J.

RENTERS TURN ATTENTION TO
FARM LEASE CONTRACTS

Many Kentucky farmers who op-
crate rented land already are
studying the problem of leasing con-
tracts for the coming year, accord
ing to inquiries being received by
the farm economics department of
the College of Agriculture. The de-
mand for information of this kind is
being met through the distribution
of a special publication entitled,
Share Leasing Contracts for Ken
lucky Farms" which points out that
the question of satisfactory leasing
contracts is of considerable import
ance in view of the fact that about
one-third of the farmers in the State
are either renters or share troopers
Members of the college farm eco
nomics department are urging that
farmers in these two classes make
early plans to acquaint themselves
with lease contracts that will work
out profitbly both for the landlord
and the tenant. Studies made by
the department over a period of sew
eral years have brought to light
rented farms in various parts of the
State for which leasing contracts
have been worked out that are
profitable and satisfactory to all
parties concerned. The terms of
these contracts together with many
other pointers are given in the new
publication.
BY far the greater number of
farm tenants in Kentucky raise
tobacco or tobacco and corn on
shares, the publication states. Some
of the satisfactory conditions for
raising tobacco and corn, wheat and
hay on shares, together with points
on share renting for dairying are
outlined. A model share lease that
provides for joint interest in to-
bacco, corn, hay and hogs, together
with tobacco, corn and live stock
share lease are contained in the new
publication. The two general types
Of share cropping plans in use in
Western Kentucky also are outlined,
together with a model lease for
farmers in that section of the State.
Considerable attention is paid in the
new publication to the general
form of the share lease and the fun
damental points that need consider
alton when it is made
