WOULD RE PLEASING TO MENA

The officials of the Arkansas Ma tional Forest would like to move their headquarters back to Mena. They now are located at Hot Springs. This information was gained through remarks made by Supervisor Sydney A. Chappell, while he was in Mena last week.
 In this case, the desire of the officials just fits in with Mena's idea of the proprieties. In the first place, Mena has generally been friendly to the aims and purposes of the National Forest work, rejoicing in the good done, and when errors were made, believing that they would be corrected along the line of right. In the second place, she liked to number among her citizens the clean-cut, straight forward young men employed in the ser vice. finding them, besides earnest and efficient. courteous and ready at all times to do good deed.
 If the federal building for which ground has been purchased, was al- ready a reality. there is no doubt but the Forestry headquarters would be brought to Mena very quickly. The good of the service would be conserved by such a change, Mena being close to the field of activity, and from climat- ic and health standpoint, being su- perior to most cities and the equal of any in the country.
 A little effort might overcome this building proposition. and with the forest officials already leaning to- ward Mena, 1t should not be hard to find way to bring them back.
 It's worth trying.

 The suggestion is most excell- ent one, and should be taken up by the various church organizations throughout the country.

Pheasant Raising for Profit.

In several sections of the coun- try there are located game" farms
 where wild" birds are raised by
 the thousands to be sold to the own CTS of big country estates so that
 their game preserves may be stock
 ed with every imaginable species
 of fowl, those of the water, of the field and the woods--depending on the nature of the country included
 iii the estate. J. F. Stephens, in an illustrated article in the August number of Popular Mechanics, says:
 From a quiet residence suburb |of Chicago, thousands of crates and baskets are shipped each year, the crates enclosing pheasants, wild geese and wild ducks, and the bas- kets containing eggs of the various game birds bred on a game-propa- gating farm situated on the east bank of the Desplaines river.
 The onwer of this farm, when only i5 years old, commenced rais- ing few game birds in his back yard in Oak Park, Illinois, and after one year the business prospered so that 1t became necessary to ac- quire some additional space, equal to several town lots. After a few years even the enlarged grounds became too small, and he removed to his present location, starting up with 100 acres. and today, at the age Of , 2s he has has 3377G acres of land under his control improved with residence. grist mill, electric light and water plant, several game keepers cottages and barns. Nearly 100000 square feet of wire fenc- ing is used for runs, aviaries and other enclosures. Some idea of the extent of this enterprise can be gained from the statement that for matching purposes alone i,500 set- ting hens are used"

Our Express Friends.

Be it enacted, etc., That no high CT postage rates shall be charged for the transmission of mail en- tirely within the United States than is charged for the transmission of mail partly within and partly with out the United States" says a little bill recently introduced by Senator Borne.
 The senator explained: Within the United States, the rate of post age on fourth-class matter is six teen cents a pound, with limit of four pounds to a package; but the United States is party to a treaty under which residents of twenty nine foreign countries may send fourth-class matter through the United States mails at twelve cents a pound, with a limit of eleven pounds. In other words, a man may send an eleven pound package from San Francisco to Rome at twelve cents pound, but if he wishes to send the anne articles to New York he must divide them into packages not exceeding four pounds in weight and pay sixteen cents a pound"
 The difference is simply this: The twenty-nine foreign countries referred to have parcels-posts the United States has express compan- ies.-Saturday Evening Post.

STICK TO IT.

John Wanamaker, the big phila- delphia merchant, says: Advertise ing is not an enterprise for a quit ter" If there is one enterprise on earth a quitter should leave alone, lit is advertising. To make suc- cess of advertising, one must be prepared to stick like a barnacle to boats bottom.
 He should know before he begins that he must spend money-lots of it. Somebody must tell him that he cannot hope to obtain results commensurate with his expendi- lures early in the game.
 Advertising does not jerk. It pulls. It begins very gently at first, but the pull is steady. It increases day by day and year by year until it exerts an irresistible power.

TIMES HAVE CHANGED.

Only few years ago such stunts as Ballinger attempted in Alaska would have gone through un- noticed, and when corporation in- terests were interfered with by an honest official, the officers head merely was dropped into the polit- ical waste basket. But these things don't go now, as Taft, Ballinger and MMf;;ckersham are finding out. About the time a crooked move is made the word is flashed to the farthest confines of the nation, thousands of newspapers tell it to the people, and the real row starts.

 Why, then, shouldn't a pension be provided for such a pastor and

 trust and often declines a more lu-

Gardens Reclaim Bad Roys.

How the naughty little boys of Dayton, Ohio, were reclaimed from their mischievous ways without the aid of reform schools is told in an interesting illustrated article in the August number of Popular Me- chanics Magazine. Each boy was provided with a garden all his own, from which he could harvest veg etables to supply his home and for sale to the neighbors.
 The Boys Garden" is a plot of land advantageousIy located in a part of Dayton now called South Park, and each boy has garden 10 feet wide by i07 feet long, the whole plot being surrounded by shrubbery. The office of the Boys Garden Company is a very artistic building located at the edge of the gardens, and the officers are boys. The hours of work in the gardens are from 6:30 to 7:30 in the morn ing, and from 400 to 5:f5 in the evening. If any boy wishes to work overtime, he must stop when the rest do, report to the head gardener and get permission to continue. Every boy must stay in his own garden, must clean his own tools after using, and hang them in their place. The use of bad language is strictly forbidden, and an excuse must be brought to the head gar- dener in case of absence.
 The benefits of the scheme to the boys are remarkable, teaching them to take care of little things as well as the large ones, beneflting them mentally and physically through work in the open air, teaching them how vegetables grow and how to keep the ground working all the time, and supplying them with pocket money honestly earned.
