AFTER MONTHS AND YEARS
The Kansas City Soothern Has Let Contract for Installing Toilet
 Rooms in the Station at Mena.

J. B. Anderson, Mena plumber, has had confirmed a contract with the Kansas City Southern Railway Company to install toilet rooms m the passen- ger depot, freight house, eating hoase and round house here. He states that he has specific orders to rush the work. The expcndi- ture amounts to about $l400.
 These ordinary accommoda- tions have been woefully n eded here since the road first pushed into the wilderness, built a depot and sold lots at division point prices.
 It will be recalled that the pres ent grsud jury found four indict- ments against the road because of this delinquency, bat it is only fair to state that the contract for the work was really let before this action was taken.

A CHICKEN YARD EXPERIMENT
How One Hen Gave Net Profit oi
 S5.2S in a Season.

He planned a little chicken yard in the rear of his home. Among other fowls he bought last February was hen, which had been left in the discard from some poultry farm. She was not of fancy breed just plain hen. During the summer she laid S4 eggs for the table, besides bring ing of two broods of chickens. among which he now has IS fine young bullets. Then he tired of her industry because of fast com ing old age. So she was killed, and after being dressed weighed 6 pounds. Net result: cost of feeding hen, ten cents a week. s3.40; value of eggs, $l.75. of hens offspring, Sc; hens meat. 90 cents, total returns, $S. 65; net profit $5. g News Record.

SCHOOLS FILLING UP
One Hundred and Seven More En- rolled Than at Beginning of Year
 0ne Hundred More Expected

At the beginning of this school year, according to reports published, there was an enrolment in the pub lie schools here of 760. This week Prof. w. T. Adams states that the enrolment reached S67, or TOT more than at the beginning, and he ex- pects it to go at least 100 higher, probably reaching 1000.
 Prof. Adams calls attention to a matter in this connection that is of considerable interest to taxpayers. He says that at the time the school census is taken there are less chil- dren in the district than in the win ter. The state school apportionment is based on this summer census, and, therefore, is not in proportion to the number of children actually taught. He figures that, could the law be changed so as to take the census at the first of the year, Mena would receive enough additional money from the state fund to pay the cost of running an additional month.

Since the olG-fashioned theor5 of curing eczema through the blood has been gwen up by sci entists. many different salyes have been tired for skin diseases, but it has been found that these salyes only clog the pores and can. not penetrate to the iHHef. skln below the epidermis where the eczema germs are lodged.

 72S Bales Ginned.

Little Rock, Oct. 29.-The cot. ton harvesters al the state farm are closing in on the small end of the crop, now having gathered between 800 and 900 bales.

 By the end of the week more
 han three-fourths of the crop will have been harvested, and il is expected that It will all be gathered by the middle of next month. 1t is probable that mum Der of convicts will shortly be withdrawn from the farm and placed at work under the con. tract uow existing between tho state and R. l..

Chinese Poetry.

The Chinese are not generally re garded as poetical people, yet, as a matter of fact, no nation on earth has ever been so passionately devoted to prosody, or brought 1t so intimately into their daily life. It is, indeed, one of the most important branches of the native educational system, and all examinations for governmental positions from the most humble office of tax collector up, include the writing of original poems. The Chinese lam guage is particularly rich in metaphor. and Chinanan of the better class al ways turns Into verse an account of any occurrence of special interest to himself or his family. It is not unus. ual for proclamatiops to be issued in didactic verse. A peculiar and inter esting coincidence has been noted by one student of Chinese poetry. It is a poem written about the year 200 B C., by Kia Vi, a minister of state, who had been sent into banishment, and which Is astonishingly similar in me ter, wording and thought to Poe's Raven"

more than forty volumes 1t contains
more than go recommendations, the most
striking of which are for the abolition
of general warehouses;. the separate treat
ment for the aged, weak and able-bodied
unemployed and loafers, the compulsory
detention of persistent idlers for from six
months to three years, the institution OF
labor exchanges and the prevention OF
child labor An appeal is made to the
prosperous for personal service and a
good example. 1t is held that extrava-
gance in dress and numerous friyolities
are responsible for much pauperism and
distress. The evidence shows that city
populations degenerate. and that ma.
jority of the unemployed are city bred.

Men to Haul Down Flag.

Chinese Com ander Forces Mfkado's
Men To Haul Down Flag.
Chinese fishermen engaged at Pratas
lslends, having sent an urgent appeal TO
the Viceroy of Canton, alleging that the
Japanese were occupying the islands, the
Chinese cruiser Feuying and two de-
stroyers were dispatched to investigate.
The squadron spent four days at the ISL
ands and returned. Commander Woo,
who seized the japanese steamship Tatsu
Maru in 1907, reports that he found the
Japanese flag flying on the islands and
more than a hundred Japanese establish
ed in perma nent settlement, actively en-
gagged in removing phosphate, pearl shell
and tortoise shell without permission
from the Chinese government. The Jap
anese claimed they discovered the islands
eighteen months ago. They had destroyed
an old Chinese temple. driven off many
fishermen, burned six junks. the owners
of which refused to leave, and continual
ly threatened others with death if they
persisted in landing. Commander Woo
compelled the japanese to haul down
their flag and destroy the post which an
nounced the alleged discovery of the isl
ands. 1t is estimated that the japanese
removed five million yen worth of pro-
duce. Shipments have been forbidden.
