Don't Give Up Advantages Already Won

Shall we change the name of Mena?
Think what this change would mean.
How long it would take the world at
large to realize that "Mena Springs"
was one and the same as "Mena -
the place boasting of so many advant-
agesY--would people not associate this
new name with Mill Springs, Bethesda
Springs, Bogg Springs and other places
consisting OF spring, store, postoffice,
blacksmith shop and several hundred
inhabitants? Let's not run the risk of
losing for one precious moment the
identity we have labored for fourteen
years to establish. but, using this for a
basis, all work together. and at the
end of the next fourteen years our
city will rank among the first, and the
name Mena made dearer by long
association, will be suggestive of many
things.
Viewing the change in a matrimo-
NAL light, as our worthy contributor of
March % did, do you not think that
our fair Mena is of too tender years to
consider such stepg And supposine
she did, would she not, like the ac-
tress who had already gained renown,
retain her maiden name for fear OF
losing her identity. and, so. have to

Why not rename these as Mena

GUTHRIE REACHES HIGH COURT

Week.

Washington, Mar. 30.-The fight
over the removal of the capital OF
Oklahoma from Guthrie to Oklahoma
City began in earnest in the supreme
court OF the United States when
Guthries claim was presented to the
court In printed brief Both sides
are to argue the case orally next
week
The six lawyers appearing Tor
Guthrie contend in the brief that the
act OF the Oklahoma legislature re-
moving the capital from Guthrie is
unconstitutional because the enabling
act of congress under which the state
was admitted to the Union. provided
that the capital should remain at
Guthrie until 1913. They deny that
the legislature had power to make
null and void the capital provision in
the enabling act
IF the decision OF the supreme
court of Oklahoma declaring the pro
vision of the enabling act null and
void is sound" they say, then il
must follow that the people OF the
state OF Utah are not bound by thelI
solemn campact that they will for
ever prohibit polygamy in that state

Here are granite mounts, and gold
mines
At least we hope there are
And coal beds, without bottom,
Outstretchine broad and far;
Here are gems of pearl and diamond
Without blemish, fault or flaw:
And these but few the treasures
Out here in Arkansas.
Here are rice fields. fine and fertile,
OF acres broad and green
Pouring forth their wealth of plenty
For all who come and CLEAN;
Here are wondrous beds of bauxite
Such as science never saw;

In the countless grains and products
That her famous farmers raise;

Above or under ground;
If there's mineral food or raiment
That nowhere else is found,
Just turn your footsteps Southwark.

For you'll be sure to find IT
