Mena and Polk county's climate has long been known to be a climate that is hard to beat, yet very little has ever been said or done to tell those thousands of people of it, who annually spend thousands of dollars at those places that have climate inferior to ours, but have far superior system of advertising and more push.
 In those places every citizen is a booster and every booster helps to bring somebody to spend few days, a week, month or season to enjoy the things which they have been boosting. Perhaps they have pushed their summer climate; their winter climate, or, perhaps they have some spring or springs that some analysist has proclaimed to be good for some particular disease or diseases. What ever the good thing may be, it has been so well advertised, and so per sistently, that even those who spend little time among the boosters be- come boosters themselves and con- tinue to praise the town wherever they may be.
 It doesn't take long when people get to talking to make or unmake town, so when you talk be sure and say things that are good. The good things will spread just as rapidly as the bad and the results will be much more satisfactory. Don't give the impression by your actions that you are living in the worst place in the world. Show the best side and others will be attracted to you and your community.
 That pays well.
 The average temperature of Mena during the summer months is sev- eral degrees lower than that of most northern cities and practically all of those south. and the inhabitants of both, and especially of.the lowlands, will enjoy life if they spend some time here. They'll not find as many mosquitoes and the water won't be so bad.
 And the winter, while it does get cold here, does not get so intensely cold nor do the cold spells last so long as in the northern states. For relief from the blizzards nothing is so good as a few days in Polk county. Down South the winter months are the rainy months and the disagree able months. A great part of Mena's winter days are clear and balmy, with just enough chill to give you life and vim. Teli this to your friends. Talk it to them, sing it to them, write 1t to them. Let your every word and action show that | your home is in Mena, Polk county. Arkansas, and that you are glad of | it. If you don't want to do it for the benefit it will do you as a part of this community, do it because you are a true friend of those you call your friends.
