And the good war new* still is good.
Mens has s jewel that is almost
beyond price, and it needs and should
have a new setting. It is the spark
ling spring in Janssen park.
Boasting seldom wins a real fight,
but the way those Germans are speed
ing up in their efforts to get away
from the American fighting men
makes us feel pretty perky
The world has waited a long time
for a real allied drive. General Foeh
has been in no hurry, but when he
•tarts it we may well expect the real
thing—and that’s what the Hunts will
««»• _
It is unfortunate, indeed, that the
dread disease. Black Leg, should have
gotten a start out at Dallas. How
ever, it calls to mind that there is a
law on our statute books requiring
that the carcasses of dead animals be
burned or buried te avoid spread of
disease This is a good time to bring
the law out, polish it up and put it to
work.
Theodore Roosevelt, a man who
never shirked a danger, made a char
acteristic statement when he said he
was glad his son had been given a
chance to prove the stuff that was in
him before he died. A father and
mother with four sons in the fighting,
•ne reported dead, another badly
wounded, have a lot to think about
tbeae days.
THE TEMPERING THOUGHT.
Pvnrv Hmp up f <>a*1 lilrsa ahnntincr
over the good news from the battle
fields, and allow our pride to rise
over the deeds of the brave Ameri
cans, we would not go wrong if both
impulse were tempered by the
thought these successes and this pride
are bought and paid for by the blood
and lives of sons of American moth
ers and fathers. In a few days we
wit! read the big casualty lists.
Mena’s second Dollar Bargain Day
did not draw an extra large crowd,
but then more people registered their
tickets and took a chance of getting
the gifts of pure bred stock than on
the first occasion, and the merchants
offered bargains that were attrac
tive despite the drouth. In fact, it
was a chance to get things needed
and save money, and that is about
as good a thing as can be offered to
our visitors at such a time as this.
Sometimes when we read of the big
profiteers—those who make millions
at the expense of their countrymen in
time of war, we wonder if the spirit
in their souls is any different from
that of some of the small fry who take
“all the traffic will bear” when the
chance comes. Facts are, human na
ture is about the same, and net great
ly changed by environment, and the
best we can do is to bring all possible
pressure to bear to keep down wrong
wherever it crops out.
An open letter to R. Goff, chairman
of the War Savings Stamp drive in
Polk county, is published in The Star
today. This will be found intrest
mg reading. One point of especial in
terest is made—that the government
particularly desires each and every
man—and woman, so far as practical
---to share in supporting the war
And the fact is, good citisens are

of something more than an academic
interest in the affairs of our country.
Theodore Roosevelt gave four sons
to his country’s service. One is dead
and two are in hospitals from wounds,
while the other has received a badge
of honor from the British govern
ment for conspicuous bravery in bat
tle. Kaiser Wilhelm has six sons in
service, and ail are supposed to be
entirely safe, if not sound, and wear
all sorts of decorations. It can hard
ly be assumed, however, that
the Kaiser's sons are the better fight
ers. They merely have a keener dis
cretion and the privilege of staying
in the safe places while they send the
other fellows on ahead.
For twenty-two years, lacking only
a few days, Mena has looked toward
the east with a hope for a rail con
nection. Several attempts have been
made without attaining the point,
but the job is yet to be done. Some
folks think the time to prepare for
war is in time of peace, and like
wise the best time to prepare for
peace is before the war ends. What
, ever you think about if, if you would
like to have an mtc-rurban electric be
, Among the most primitive nations
| hospitality ia a sacred thing. For peo
• pie to break bread with one another,
! and then to be otherwise than friends
j forever after, has been recognized as
' an unpardonable sin.
j “I ha- r eaten in this house,” it i«
■ said al' decently inclinded humans.
1 “Therefore, roy friend, and I must
* be loyal to hifn.”
The same code of honor exsts
among nations, and it is regarded by
all decent peoples.
We have today to face in our coun
try a remarkable situation. Think a
minute. It is just like this. Suppose
you invited a guest to your home,
j provided for his needs, even foT
his pleasure*; gave him your best
| without stint; treated him with all
| "osfidesee and respect, even loved him.
| Suppose that this guest, after accept
j ing all that you offered him, all that
i you willingly and gladly proffered
! him. turned on you, and was utterly
j false to you in every way. Suppose
] he sowed dissension in your family,
and caused all sorts of discord in your
home. Suppose he lied about you to
his friends, and tried to ruin every
thing you held dear. Suppose he tried
to supplant you in your household
and run it his way. How would you
feel about this kind of a guest?
What woaJd you do about him?
Would your tolerate him? Would you
you permit such a guest to remain
long in your home after you had found
him out?
Well, our nation is our larger home,
and w* have just such a guest in it,
a guest who has betrayed us in true
Judas-like fashion, and he seems so
far to be proud of it. What shall we
do about this? Nothing, you say?
It will come around all right?
Now just listen to a little plain talk.
There is no use in mincing matters at
present. The situation is too grave
to be played with.
Nothing will come around right un
, ’-ween Mena and Hot Springs, come
! out Thursday night and see what oth
er folks think about it and give them
the benefit of your opinions. There’s a
chance that something big may come

are
j prone to complain about hard times,
| scarcity of money and the difficulty of
i getting it. Some folks even complain
j at paying $1 or $1.50 for a high grade
j county paper for a year. But how
r do you account for this ?
A few days ago two young men,
total strangers, came to Mena and
spent six days canvassing for a back
east weekly publication that is not
highly esteemed by well-posted read
ers of current literature. In the time
named they had secured fifty sub
scriptions at upwards of $6 each!
And all this money has left this sec
tion forever—and for what most well
informed folks would say is a non-es- j
sential.
At the Bend of the Msrne.
From The Kansas Cl tv Sta.*
Of course you are doing your bit.
You are heroically going without
sugar, except one lump in your coffee
in the morning, which the doctor says |
your constitution absolutely requires.
You have bought your share of Lib-;
erty bonds, saying openly that any
old time you are not willing to risk
your money with Uncle Sam the Huns
can come and put a collar on you.'
You nave given liberally to the Red
Cross and pinned a button on your,
coat, so that any snooping German
spy who wants to can send your name
to the kaiser. You’re an American:
and you don’t care who knows it.
Yes, you are doing your bit. BIT is*
right. |
While you are doing it this is what
was happening at the bend of the
Marne:
"The American machine gun
ners and infantrymen fought and
died where they stood.”
You read that comfortably see ted
on your porch, and you said to your
self that you guessed it would ulti
mately dawn on the hoches that there
were some Americans in France after
all. You were entitled to that feeling j
of exhultation and pride, but was that;
the only feeling you had when you'
read it? Didn’t something come over I
you that made your chair a little bitj
less comfartable? Didn’t your petty'
little sacrifices, your money patriot-!
t»m and your wordy loyalty seem a 1
little cheap to you in comparison with
what other Americana were doing,
there at the bend of the Marne?
An order had come to hold the t
[ 'wmy at that point. Did you ever get
; a military order? They’re rather di-1
rect and terse, without explanation,
and no rhetoric at all. They don’t re
quest you to do something if perfect-,
Iv convenient, or if you can spare the
time, or if you can do it without per
sonal risk to yourself. They don’t re
mind you that it is your duty, that
you really ought to do it because it
is your bit. They don’t assure you
that it won't seriously interfere with
your business. Nothing like that—j
nothing like the orders you get to
please come out and help the Liberty
loan, to kindly lend your motor car
for an afternoon, to eat cornbread, to
buy war savings stamps. Those are
orders to Americans at home, attend
ing mostly to their own business. To1
Americans at the bend of the Marne,
attending solely to the Nation’s busi
ntsc. the order is: “Stand here and
die."
It doesn’t leave your patriotic ef
forts in a particularly heroic light.1
docs it? You never picked up the
paper and read of yourself and your
neighbors that you died where you
stood, or hammered a rivit into a ship
where you stood or even went with
out your dinner where you stood.
You may have read that you delivered
a speech where you stood, and per-1
haps you thought, when you delivered
it. that it would help to win the war j
What do you think about it now?
Would it have helped to throw the!

j factor in the affairs of the world, ai
fast as possible, in ways both grea’

many can get along without the
j world.
• The idea of cancellation is rapidlj
growing. Help it on. Cancel language
books, music, business, names, any
thing and everything German. And
let us go on cancelling until it dawns
on the obsessed minds of these peo
ple, that they have brought down up
on themselves, the utter loathing of «
world.
A man, thoughtful and sane-minded,
who has seen what they have done on
the other side, says:
“I have come home with such hate
in my heart that 1 am almost afraid
of myself. The Germans don't belong
in this world. They have placed them
selves outside the pale of civilisation.
1 want to see them wiped out as a na
tion, and then I want to forget that
Germany ever existed. I want to nev
er hear the name again.”
This is what Germany has done to
herself!

Red Cross and Liberty bond lists have
been effective if displayed there?
Let us here at home strip off our
vanities and bow our heads.
FARM DEMONSTRATOR’S LETTER
To the Farmers:
On-account of the continued drouth
we .re facing the greatest scarcity of
feed for the coming winter. We are
told by government figures that Polk
county should produce this year two
and a half times as much hay as last
year in order to have feed for the
stock of the county, because the trains
will very probably be carrying troops
and troop supplies and cannot bring
in the large amounts of hay and other
feeds as heretofore.
Besides that, we have more cattle
and hogs this year than last, both by
natural increase and by importation,
so that the amount of feed per head
would be less than last year, if you
had a norma! crop.
If it rains by the first of August,
tiie grdks will be dried up and the sit
uation become still worse. I wish 1
could paint a brighter picture, but
the truth is what we have to face.
Farmers have very prudently plant
ed the stubble fields to peas and soy
beans, which is an excellent idea for
many reasons.
If it rains by the first of Aggust,
such nonsacherine sorghams as fet
rita, milo maize and Schrock-Kaffir will
make quite a lot of feed yet before
frost unless it should come unusually
early.
If it rains by the middle of August
there will be time for turnips of the
purple top varieties. By the first oi
.September ,or even later rye and
crimson clover may be sown and will
furnish fair fall and winter pasture
Wheat and winter turf oaU sown ear
ly will also furnish winter pasture
I have been asked if it will pay to
cut up the small corn that has failed
to tassle. It will be light but excel
lent feed if cured properly and stored.
It will be easy to handle if bound in
bundles.
I have sold in the county a carload
of shorthorn cattle and two carloads
of Shropshire sheep, all for breeding
nurnnitM sk_
in on account of feed shortage and the
recent breakout of black leg in cat
tle. Will wait further developments.
Any assistance 1 can give any farm
er in buying or selling seed will be
gladly given.
Yours very truly,
A. J. Smith.
KANSAS CITY STA RBEAMS.
Kansas City has had a number of
little, no account rains the last two
years, but none that was worth much
to the big interests of this section.
Evidently the law fetes and church
socials haven't been expensively pre
pared.
A great deal of poetry is written
against the profiteer, but compara
tively litle of it gets into print. The
editors evidently feel that if the gov
ernment can’t disturb profiteering,
the poets can’t.
The trouble with the American sol
dier. the Germans find, is that they
don’t become inerested in a proposal
to ro back to Paris. They’ve been in
Paris, it seems, and know all about
it. What they want is to see Berlin.
Why does the government keep on
coining nickles? They don’t buy any
thing any more.—Hw Star.
There must be something to go

THE GERMAN
LANGUAGE STUFF
By ANTHONY EUWEB
Member, Authors* Committee
American Defense Society.
About this German language stuff—
’Twould seem we’ve had about enough
Of German things somehow of late—
Eh what? Nicht wahr? Aa any rate
We’ve shown we can exist quite free
Of all things made in Germany,
Save one, nor yet the least among,
The emblem of the German tongue.
And too, a most expressive one,
This language of the modern Hun,
All eloquent of lust and rape,
; Each diabolic ogre-shape.
That hell's foul dam could breed and
spawn,
Our sickened eyes must look upon.
Red death and carnage, torch and
blaze, ■»<•“
You know them, backwards, ev’ry
phrase!
The German language! Such I say
Is what that language means today.
I a iic uciniaii
taught
From German text books seeped and
fraught
With Kaiser-love, and from such youth
We draw our country’s men for sooth!
And Deutcher dailies, those that feed
Our CITIZENS who cannot read
Our words, shoved down our throats.
We frown
And gulp, and let the thing go down.
“But hold," you say, “why confiscate
From thousands loyal to our state
This vital thing, withdraw perforce
Their one sole coin of intercourse?”
Well meaning friend, this is our land,
Nor shall we trust a second-hand
Teutonic courier with such
A cause as we’ve espoused—not much!
If some old Frits within our gates
Cannot read plain United States,
. Then he should be content to choose
Some younger Frits to read the news.
Should young Fritz likewise baffled be
Well then it’s time they both agree
To get their notions rearranged.
And have them’ 'German coinage
changed.
If they’d enjoy that blissful state
, ’Neath their new found protectorate.
We’ve got our national bird, we’ve got
Our flag, our capitol—why net
Have our court language—plain] un
mixed
Good Anglo-Saxon—firmly fixed.
Our land may be a melting-pot,
Our lingo somewhat polyglot,
But since this tragic world event.
We’ve found there’s one ingredient
Grown so distasteful, odious.
Exhalant of such leprous dross,
That we cannot afford to see
Our national life in jeopardy.
Then let us not cajole with, chance,
Too long we’ve bowed to circumstance,
No longer dupes, we’ve had enough,
Let’s end this German language stuff!

MAJOR ROOSEVELT WOUNDED.
Message From Wife Says Colonel’s,
Son Is Not in Danger.
Osyster Bay, N. Y„ July 20.—Ma-|
jor Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., has been
slightly wounded and taken to a hos
pital in Paris, according to a cable
message received tonight by his fath
er, Colonel Theodore Roosevelt from
his daughter-in-law, Mrs. Theodore
Roosevelt, Jr.
The cablegram was sent from Paris.!
where Mrs. Roosevelt is in a Red
Cross hospital. It read:
“Ted wounded. Not seriously. Here '
with me. Not in danger. No cause i
for anxiety."
Major Roosevelt was recently cited
for gallantry after having been gassed
about three weeks ago.
The news of Major Roosevelt hav
ing been wounded followed immedi
ately the report from Paris that Ger-1
man aviators had dropped a note be- j
hind the Allied lines confirming fears j
of the death of Lieutenant Quentin
Roosevelt in an aerial engagement.
Captain Archie Roosevelt, another of
the former President's sons, is now
recovering from severe wounds. Ker
mit Roosevelt, a fourth son, who serv
ed as a captain in the British Army
in Mesopotamia, was recently ap
pointed a captain in the United States
Army and is now reported on his
way to France. He was decorated by
the British with the Military Cross
for gallantry in action.
On receiving confirmation of Quen
tin's death, Colonel and Mrs. Roose
velt. with their daughters, Mrs. Rich
ard Derby and Mrs. Nicholas Long
worth, announced that they would re
ceive no visitors. The colonel, how
ever, mande an exception in the case
of the Japanses Red Cross commia-,
sioners, who, accompanied by H. P. j
Davison, chairman of the war coun
cil of the American Red Cross,, came
to Oyster Bay to pay their respects
to the former President.
SCOUTS ON MARNE APACHES, j
Indians From Arizona Reeervation
Are Harassing the Huns.
El Paso, Tex., July 21.—Indian
scouts mentioned in dispatches from
the American army on the Marne are
Apaches, recruited from the Whit*
Mountain Reservation of Eastern
Arizona. Many of them had been
quainted with the mountains, deserts
and trails of Chihuahua since the (Je
ronimo campaign and were obtained
by General Pershing in 1916, when he [
went into Mexico after Francisco Vil
la and his followers following an at
tack by Villa on Columbus, N. M. A
company of the Apaches was gathered
at Fort Apache, Ariz.
When the expeditionary forces went
to Prance the Indian scouts manifested
willingness to go along to hunt Ger
mans and General Pershing took them
with him.
Has Profitable Tomatoes.
Claude Clark brought in some fine]
tomatoes this morning, raised on his
farm south of the city. He has some-,
thing like an eighth of an acre, and
states that already he has sold over
'.Aiei-n uouars worth, and the crop
is not near gathered. He plants the
Karly Detroit variety, which stands
drouth well.
Two More Recruits.
Recruiting Officer Ralph Frazier
will send off two volunteers to the
army this afternoon, they going first
to (amp Pike and then to Jefferson
Barracks They are George A. Sauter
of Mena, into the cavalry service, and
Lawrence Burgess of Baker Springs,
into the artillery.
Threshing Grain Crops.
Parker & Lewis started to thresh
ing the grain crops around Mena on
Turaday, beginning with the crop of

BELGIAN RELIEF DAY, AUG. 2.
Governor Brough Calls on State to
Furnish Clothing.
Little Rock, July 18.—Governor
Brough yesterday afternoon issued a
proclamation declaring Friday, Au
gust 2, as Belgian Relief Day in the
State of Arkansas. He requests all
patriotic citizens of the state to con
tribute and collect shoes and winter
clothing for the relief of oppressed
Belgians. He says, in conclusion:
“Since our own brave boys have
been baptized in Are and have sig
nally distinguished themselves in re
sisting the Hun offensive, I deem it
an appropriate time and an appropri
ate manner to show our gratitude to
a God-fearing and liberty-loving peo
ple and to an Almighty God who
holdeth within the hollow of his hand
the destiny of nations as well as the
lives of individuals.”
Government Will Buy Land.
Forest Ranger Jos. R. Gill came in
Wednesday from Mountain Fork, be
ing accompanied by C. A. Plymale,
forest examiner, who had been out
examining lands recently purchased
and to be added to the forest reserve.
Mr. Plymale states that privately
owned land located within the boun
dary of the reserve will be nnn-ha«eH
by the government, and parties own
ing the same may secure proposals
for submitting the lands from Mr.
Gill or from the headquarters at Hot
Springs.
Received Compliment and Cash.
S. J. Philpot received a very com:
plimentary letter from the St. Louis
Wrought Iron Range Co., as to the
the valuable services rendered by his
son. Fr°d, who was in the employ of
