cal operation, which may mean death,

mony to the wonderful virtue of Lydia

FIND MUCH DAMAGE
Results of Last Weeks Storm Proving Quite Serious to Telephone
 Service,

As result of last weeks storms and rains the Mena telephone lines are pretty badly damaged and serv. ice over certain cables is demoral- ized When lightning struck the ca bles, breaks were made in the GOV erings which allowed the rains to get to the wires. This did not cause so much trouble at first but as the wires got wet the real trouble start ed.
 MT. Davis is doing all he can to get things in good shape again and has ordered some new cables and terminal boxes to take place of the damaged ones. It will take from a week to ten days after the material arrives here before it can be put in place. In the meantime the compa- ny is doing the best it can to serve the patrons.

He made il clear that the people to be pleased by the police under his administration were the order iy, lava biding citizcns;. that he asked no favorsof any other class nor should they expect any from him.

BLOOD WILL TELL.
J. W. Edwards Profits Largely By I'm proving the Stock of His
 Flock of Sheep.

Five years ago J. w. Ed wards, who has a farm just West of Mena, bought flock of sheep of common stock, and when shear ing time arrived they netted him little less than 2a pounds of wool per head. From that time forward he has made it his busi- ness to improve the grade of his flock,
 Last week his clip amounted to 5H pounds per head, and the quality is better. As it costs no more to feed good animal than to feed scrub, there appears to be mighty little argument left in favor of the scrubs as wool pro- ducers, and doubtless, the gain in the production of meat is all most as great with tbe good stock.

HIGH WIND SATURDAY NIGHT
Exceptional Rainfall Last Week and
 Low Average Temperature.

Saturday night Mena had plen- ty of wind, lightning and rain and little hail. The rain storm started about 10 o'clock and last ed through most of the night and up to about 10 o'clock Sunday morning. According to the goy- ernment rain guage the rainfall durisg that time was l Is inches, bringing the total raiufall for the past week up to SOS inches, an exceptional record.
 The wind storm followed soon after the rain began and for about forty-6ve minutes it blew in hard gusts, causing some timid persons to wish they were down in a cy. clone hole. The biggest damage done was 10 the big 8x10 plate glass window in the Joseph Rob. ert building. About 1O:30 a heavy gust of wind hit it and broke 1t into a thousand pieces. Heavy pieces of the plate glass fell on a showcase in the window but, strange tc say, did not break it. The window was insured. The only other damage done was to trees.
