WHY THEY LEFT OKLAHOMA.
Not Country for a Poor Man Better
 Prospects Here.

c. P. Kelsey and ]. c. Andrews from near Lawton, Okla, have been in and around Mena for sew eral days looking for an oppor- tunity to buy good farms.
 When asked by a Star reporter for their reason for leaving Okla home and coming here at time when so many farmers from this section are looking toward Okla homa as place to better their conditions, Mir. Kelsey replied that in his opinion Oklahoma was no place for a farmer with little means. The land in that country is very rich and produc- tive but 1t takes about LOGO to buy 100 acres of good improved land, and to keep pace with the country and farm as others do there it takes about as much more to get in shape to farm the land.
 Believing that the time is close at hand when, ii poor man ex- poets to own farm he must 2, hold of it, Mir. Kelsey and his friend come 10 this country where health is general and cheap land plentiful and poor man has a chance to get a home and make comfortable living.
