President Wilson ran get along
all right without any message of
; congratulation from Mr. Hughes in
his success, but lots of people would
think more of the defeated candi
date if he'd been a good sport and
come thru with a smile.
Five Arkansas counties not in
cluded in any legislative lick act
voted on the proposition at tlie re
cent general election, and in each
the people voted to "swat the ticks."
It now is hoped that Arkansas can
be made tick free by 1920. and if this
is accomplished it will become one
i of the really great meat-producing
states. And Polk county is going
to up in the front row*.
It has been more than rumored
umi ii sumuuuo ruvu win uv
to induce the legislature to repeal
the consolidated election law in. Ar
kansas. Keep this in mind—the fel
lows that are urging this step, ten
chances to one, are those who are
afraid,they will be caught, at some
dirty work at the polls. Honest men
can find lots of strong reasons for
favoring the present law, and few
. against it.

With cotton and most of the 1916
t ;
I crops of all kinds gathered and mar
keted. attention "is^furning to pre
paration* for the coming year.
Nearly everybody who thinks sane
i ly fears that tljtf great prices on
cotton this year means a greatly in
creased acreage for 1917, with prob
ably correspondingly lower prices.
But even if this occurs—and it is
ahnost sure to do so—the farmer
who makes sure of producing food
v and feed in ample quantity need
have no great worry. And none
should keep this more in mind than
the farmers of Polk county, which at
best is not the ideal cotton coun
try. _
SENSIBLE CONCLUSION.
There are more mysterious
strangers in the Democratic party
than ever before. Whether or not
they stay depends upon the adminis
tration. If President Wilson suc
ceeds in satisfying the country he
will leave his party stronger than it
has ever been.—Times Record.
The above may well be said to be
the "key to the situation". The
American people are a pretty fair
| minded lot, and when a man is
placed in a place of responsibility
and makes good, they are not in
i any rush to get rid of him. The
same is just as true of party organ
izations.
Everybody knows that normally
there .are more Republicans than
Democrats in the United States.
But they are not all so strictly par
tisan ns they used to be.
THE STAR'S NEW PLAN.
By the time this issue of The Star
reaches the readers it is probable
that each and every one who is in
arrears will have received a letter
and a statement of account, the
latter including' a year in advance,
dating from tin* last annual expira
tion date.
The letter, reciting that after
January I, 1917, all papers will be
stopped at expiration of paid sub
scription, is a clear statement of
conditions, and should be fully self
, explanatory.
The Star does not propose to raise
the subscription price, as many pa
pers are doing, but prefers to keep
the paper within the reach of ev
erybody, and have each pay his
part, and from the statements made
by scores of subscribers, the plan
is meeting with almost universal
favor. As further evidence. 92 have
this week received credit for pay
ments at the office, and The Star,
here and now, desires to express its
appreciation to these and others for
thejr support and friendship.
This is a trying time for newspa
pers in the class of The Star, the
people who appreciate such papers
are showing it by their helpful co
operation—by their deeds.

proclamation
Washington, Nov. 17.—In the hope
that all Americans will contribute
out of “our abundant means" for
the relief of those living in belliger
ent nations*, "upnu whom the curse
and terrors of war have so pitiless
ly fallen," President Wilson today
issued his Thanksgivirig proclama
tion. • >'
He set November 30 as the date
for Thanksgiving Day.
His appeal for the observance fol
lows :
"It has long been the custom of
our people to turn in the fruitful
autumn of the year, in praise and
thanksgiving to the Almighty God
for his many blessings and mercies
to us as a nation. The year that has
elapsed since we last observed our
day of thankfulness, lias been rich
in blessings to the people of the
United states while the whole face
of the world has been darkened by
war. In the midst of our peace and
happiness, our. thoughts dwell on the
peoples upon whom w'ar has brought,
disaster without any possibility of
escape on their part. We can think
on our own happiness while think
ing on their pitiful distress.
"Now, therefore. I. Woodrow Wil
son. president of the United States
of America, do appoint Thursday,
the thirtieth day of November, as a
day of national thanks and prayer,
and urge and advise the people to
resort to their several places of
worship on that day and render
thanks to Almighty God for the
blessings of peace and unbroken
prosperity which he has bestowed
upon our beloved country in such
unstinted measure. And I also urge
nnrl ciucrrool 4 Vn» 4 H la Aim stilt*? All
this day of peace and abundan'ce, to
think in deep sympathy of the peo
ple of the world upon whom the
curse and terror of war has so piti
lessly fallen and to contribute out of
our abundant means to the relief of
(heir suffering. Our people could
in no hotter way show their real
attitude toward" the present struggle
of the nations, than by contributing
out of (heir abundance to the relief
of the suffering which the war has
brought in its train.
“In witness therefore, I hereunto,
set my hand and cause the great seal
of the United States to be affixed.
Done at the City of Washington on
this seventeenth day of November,
in the year of our lord. Nineteen
hundred and sixteen. Independence
of the United States of 141.

-o
The Public Road Situation.
There are many unsatisfactory
things about our public road work.
But the principal one is over the
warning of hands. They must be
given three days notice and nine
chances to one the warned man has
either a doctor's certificate of dis
ability or someone of the family is
sick and he can't work.
Now. under these circumstances
why not make every voter in the
county pay a $2 road tax, the $2 to
i»e applied in the township in which
it was collected. Then overseers
could hire hands and pay them $1.50
a day and get more work with one
man in this way than with six un
der the free labor system.
Again, our county could get con
v ict labor and house them in tents
with chains. Other counties are do
ing this.
Free labor is costly in the long
run. During my two years as over
seer in District No. 14 I have used
Toil days of free labor on 90 miles
of road and spent $1,500 besides for
tools, repairs, materials, etc., and yet
the showing is not w hat it should be.
And it is all principally due to an
impossibility to make free labor
count. All overseers know this.
Now let us hear from some others
on this question, 1 have touched
only lightly on it.

W. L. Parker, Will McDonald and
Herbert Parker, who joined the
hunting party from Plainview, Ark.,
in the hunt in the Cossatot moun
tains. returned to Mena Saturday
evening, and report that they bail a
great hunt, the most exciting part
of which were several lively wolf
chases. The party from Plainview
was composed of l>r. G. B. Lindsey,
J. A. Woodward, Rodger and Curtis
Westlake, George Benedict and S. R.
Anderson. They brought with them
a pack of Walker fox hounds, three
of which got lost from the party
while on tin1 hunt. Since returning |
to Mena. Mr. Parker has succeeded!
in locating one of them over in
Montgomery county.

Everyone will have to admit that |
Mr. T. W. Marshall has conducted
himself thruout the entire period of
election uncertainty in a manner
eminently befitting a vice president.
“Of course. I knew all the time
that Wilson was elected, but, just
the same, I didn't do any cheering
for quite a spell.” said the Missouri

at night you never know what you’ll

"What kind of a town is Torpidity,

“Ever see a gent strutting around

its hogs run loose.”

VIOLATES STATE LABOR LAW.
G. W. IVtty Entered Plea of Guilty
and Received Minimum Penalty.
A hearing was had in the Justice
Court of L. N. Burnett Monday in
volving violation of Section 1 of Act
ltd of the Acts of Arkansas of 1915.
which is an act to regulate the
hours of labor, safeguard the health
and establish a minimum wage for
females' in the State of Arkansas.
The action was brought against G.
\V. Petty by Deputy Prosecuting At
torney W. B. Thomas, on the com
plaint of E. I. McKinley, Deputy Ba
ilor Commissioner. The complaint
alleged that the defendant had vio
lated the provisions of the act on
November 6. 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 13, 14, 15,
16, and 17, each day constituting a
separate offense. There was no trial
of the case for the reason that Mr.
Petty, after finding that 'he had not
complied with the law as he thought
he had, offered to submit on one
count. On the recommendation of
the Deputy Labor Commissioner and
the Deputy Prosecuting Attorney,
this plea was accepted, and the
court assessed the minimum fine of
*25, and adjudged that the defendant
pay the costs which, with the fine,
amounted to $41.45.
The section under which the ac
tion was brought reads as follows:
“That no females shall be employed
in any manufacturing, mechanical
or mercantile establishment, laun
dry. or by any express or transpor
tation company in this state for
more than nine hours in any one
day, or more than six days or more
than 54 hours in any one week, pro
vided that tlhe present law govern
ing the employment of children un
der 16 years of age shajl not be re
pealed by this act.”
MADE ROAD LEVY.
Quorum Court Met in Adjourned
Session With a Large Attendance.
The Polk County Quorum Court
met in adjourned session Monday,
adjournment having been taken
from the regular session for the
purpose of making the annual road
tax levy Which was voted at the
general election held on November
7.
When County Judge A. E. Wear
called the court to order in the aft
ernoon there were 21 of the mem
bers in attendance out of a possible
twenty-nine. Those in attendance
were J. W. Bradley, J. C. Garland. J.
A. Earl, W. T. Cole, L. N. Burnett,
8. H. Smith, H. 8. Hoover, G. F.
Bates. L. P. Purvis, R. D. Miller, J.
F. Smith, J. G. Hampton. Ode Tur
ner. J. L. Hedding, J. A. Baggs, J. W.
Lee,per, J. E. Taylor, J. R. Allen, G.
C. Latch, R. S. Davis and D. Harrah.
On motion of D. Harrah, seconded
by J. E. Taylor, it was unanimously
decided to make the road tax levy
of three mills. There was no other
business to come before the court,
so adjournment was taken sine die.
M. K. PFNNINGKR TO IDA, OK.
Finds Freighting Goods Quite a Task
—Successor at Nunley.
M. K. Penninger and son, Floyd,
were m Mena last Tuesday, having
driven in from Ida, Ok., to which
Mr. Pinninger recently moved his
stock of goods from Nunley. He re
ports that they are getting well lo
cated. and feels sure that he made
a good change for business pur
poses. The greatest drawback that
he has is the distance that he will
have to freight his goods, being com
pelled to get most of them thru
Mena or Hatfield, and a trip to either
place will take from three to four
days.
W. J. Everett of Horatio, who has
leased the Penning<*r store building
and residence in Nunley, is expected
to arrive in a day or two to open a
slock of goods which he is ship
ping from Horatio. His goods were
expected to arrive Tuesday, and men
< ame in from Nunley ready to help
him move them, when they were
notified that Mr. Everett was unable
to come on account of a death in
ins i ii iit11v.

Earnest Johnson Not Dead.
'North MeAlester, Ok.. Nov. 10, 1916.
Editor of The Star, Mena, Ark.,
I tear Sir:—Some time ago I read
a piece in your paper regarding the
probable death of Earnest Johnson,
a former resident of Mena. He is
not dead. He has a claim near Miles
City, Montana, and has been there
for some time. It may interest some
friends to know that Hoy Johnson,
a brother of Earnest is learning to
be a marine inspector of boilers,
and is stationed on the U. S. S. San
Diego. He has just returned from
a cruise to Central America. I was
formerly Miss Pearl Johnson, a sis
ter of the two boys and daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. E. A. Johnson. We
lived in Mena several years.
Respectfully,
Mrs. Hays Miller.
Cha.s. Burnett Thanks Electors.
