ANDREW CHE!
DIES SUDDENLY
At 82 Years to Brief 111
ntss of Pneumonia—Had Spent
Late Years in Virtual Retirement
—Pittsburgh’s Tribute.
Lenox, Maas., Aug. 11.—Andrew
Carnegie, steel magnate and philan
thropist, died at his Lenox home,
‘ Shadow Brook," at 7:10 this morning
after an illness of less than three
days with bronchial pneumonia. So
sudden was his death that his daugh
ter, Mrs. Roswell Miller, was unable
to get to her father's bedside before
he died. His wife and private secre
tary' were with him at the end.
Mr. Carnegie had spent most of the
summer at Lenox, coming here late in
May and up to a few days ago en
joyed himself in fishing trips on Lake
Mahkccnac, which borders his “Shad
ow Brook" estate, and in riding about
his grounds. He was taken ill Fri
day and grew steadily worse. His ad
vanced age and lessened powers of re
sistance hastened the end.
Mr. Carnegie came to Lenox to
make his home in May, 1917, and had
spent the last three summers here,
lie intended to spend his declining
days at his country home here and
when he bought it an announcement
was made that Mr. Carnegie would
spend all of the spring and summer
months there. He came up from New
York late in May this year.
Mr. Carnegie leaves his widow, who
was Miss Louise Whitfield of New
York, and his daughter, Margaret,
who married last April Ensign Ros
well Miller of New York.

Carnegie, who was in his eighty
fourth year, had been an invalid since
1917, when he suffered an attack of
grippe, the news of his death was a
shock to old friends and former busi
ness associates here. Since his pre
vious serious illness he had been un
der the care of two nurses.
Identified so long with the interna
tional peace movement, Mr. Carnegie
was said to have been more severely
affected by the world war than most
men. It came as a hard blow to him
and the cause which he had so close
to his heart.
Owing to his ill-health, Mr. Carne
gie for some time had led a secluded
life and his withdrawal from all pub
lic activities gave rise to frequent
statements concerning his health. Af
ter his retirement he was compelled
to limit the number of his daily visit
ors and until his last illness he met
and spoke with only a few of his old
est and closest friends.
Tribute to Dead Magnate.
Pittsburgh, Pa., Aug. 11.—This city,
where Andrew Carnegie laid the
foundation of. his vast fortune in the
steel business, today paid tribute to
the dead magnate. Immediately after
reading the Associated Press dispatch
announcing Mr. Carnegie’s death,
Mayor E. V. Babcock ordered all flags
in Pittsburgh lowered to half-mast.
At one of his philanthropic works,
plans were made to drape the build
ing with crepe in respect to the ben
efactor. News of Mr. Carnegie’s sud
den death at Lenox spread rapidly
thru the city. At the steel mills which
bear his name, preparations were
made to suspend work and other insti
tutions in which he was interested
planned similar action.

Articles and Have $1932.79 on Hand.
The great amount of work accom
plished during the past two years by
the Polk County Chapter and branches
of the American Red Cross, is a sur
prise even to those most intimately
connected with the work, for it was not
until a movement was started to write
the history covering this period that
the aggregate of the work became ap
parent. The Polk County Chapter was
organised on May 7, 1917, when six
teen women responded to the call of
Mrs. T. A. Park, but the charter was
not received until August 2, 1917.
Branches were organised at Hatfield,
Cove, Vandervoort, Grannis, Wickes,
Acorn, Board Camp and Big Fork, and
the members of the branches had a
good part in making the total of 81,
985 different articles. These are things
and the number of each that were
made;
Sweaters, 782; mufflers, 124; socks,
961 pairs', bed shirts, 526; pajama

YOUNG FOLKS PUT
COUNTY ON MAP
Fifteen Make Enviable Record at
State Normai at Conway While
Another Bunch Take Short
Course at Magnolia.
Twice during this summer have the
young folks of Polk county put Mena
and the county on the map in doing
the things that were really worth
while alQng educational lines. The
first was when a delegation of fifteen
young women and men attended the
summer term of the State Normal at
Conway, and thru their earnest efforts
and close application completed the
required course, each making credita
ble/ grades. As a group they won
recognition for themselves and the
home town by wininng first honors in
the presentation of the raipbow chor
us on “stunt” night, when the repre
sentatives from each county were re
quired to put on some stunt as a fea
ture of entertainment.
The second time was when Miss
Anna Woods, home demonstration
agent, heading a delegation of twelve
Polk county boys and girls, attended
the boys’ and girls’ club short course
held last week at the Third District
Agricultural school at Magnolia. Con
sidering the distance traveled, Miss
Woods says, Polk county was given
the credit of sending the largest dele
gation to the short course. Even in
actual numbers, the Polk county dele
gation was above the average in at
tendance, Another distinction that
came to Polk county boys and girls
was that each member of the delega
tion paid his or her own expenses,
while in many other counties the ex
penses were paid by Chambers of
Commerce, thru the aid of bankers
and merchants, or thru some other
means rather than the efforts of those
attending.
rrVi n Pnllf PAtinfv /inlurrof lAn loft
Mena Monday, August 4, and at De
Queen they were given a special car
and were joined by representatives
of Sevier, Little River and Miller
counties. At Texarkana the car was
switched to the Cotton Belt, and then
without 'change went to Magnolia.
Reaching Magnolia, they were quar
tered in the boys’ and bids’ dormi
tories and were boarded at the college
dining hall, the expenses for board
and room for each individual being $2
for the week, and with that each of
the young folks had to take a turn at
waiting on the table.
The Polk county folks reached home
Saturday. The delegation consisted
of the following: Brent Barron, Eileen
McWilliam, Pearl Barron, and Hester
Hinson, Acorn club; Edith Rockwell,
Mena club; Ura Farnsworth and Or
ville Ogden, Dallas club; Floyd Myers
and Nadene Campbell, Hatfield club;
Samuel Fried, Big Fork club; Lois
Davis, Center Point club, and Gladys
Clinton of the Grannis club.
From the time of the rising bell at
6 o’clock a. m., the young folks were
required to follow a regular1 schedule
each day, which consisted of 30 min
utes for getting ready after arising,
followed by 30 minutes of physical ex
ercise under the direction of Prof. G.
R. Turrentine, superintendent of the
Fordyce schools, and Prof. George
Lewis, formerly of Lockesburg, and
now engaged in Y.M.C.A. work. Then
came breakfast, after which all gath
ered in the auditorium for assembly.
Following the assembly exercises, the
boys and girls separated, the boys be
ing given lectures on the preparation
of soils, the selection of seeds, the
growing of the leading farm crops
and the raising and judging of stock,
and the girls being taught canning,
liit miono on,] no nlf
the care of the sick and kindred house
hold subjects. The poultry industry
was also given attention, and both
boys and girls were instructed in the
selection and preparation of stock
and farm products for exhibits at
club shows and community and counJ
ty fairs.
On Tuesday night all gathered in
the auditorium for a rally and get
acquainted meeting, and Wednesday
night was stunt night at the auditori
um. In this our folks, with Brent
Barron as leaderd, gave their club
yells, Miss Gladys Clinton sang a solo,
and then the entire delegation joined
in giving “My Grandmother Had an
Old Hen." Thursday night was de
voted to reports of club activities in
the several counties of the district,
Brent Barron being the spokesman of
Polk county. On another night a pic
ture show was given free, and as a
final feature the citizens had planned
an auto ride for all the visitors, but
were prevented from carrying out
this part of the program on account of
a rain,
Taken all in all, the trip was a great
experience for the boys and girls, and
the influence of the things which they
saw and heard will make its impress
in the communities from which they
came, and where from now on they
will be more active and aggressive in
the upbuilding of the agricultural in
dustry of the county.
