IS \ GOOD MOVE.

The Board of Health, at it's meet ing today, made move that means much 10 Mena If carried to it's logical end it's means the moderniz- ing of the business section by abol- ishing the odorous closets along the alleys and the practice of some of allowing waste water to run from drains into the streets and alleys
 There has been some hesitancy on the part of business men and citizens in making connections with the sewer system because of the water supply, But with practically all the consumers on meters, thus avoiding waste. il is at least prob able that there is ample water ob- tainabe to meet all demands, not only now but for years to come. 'Ehus far the water is coming from She springs and from the normal flow of the two wells The larger

 A happy event. yes. Boys getting pay for their work. Ii may be just little dig" at a competitor. with nothing more behind if, and then again fl may be a record of a near tragedy the record of a neWspa- per's struggle to breast the tide, serve a city and a people, and at the same time meet it's payroll and keep within the bounds of it's re- sources-its business support and its credit
 TeXarkana is a city-a good sized one with lots of business, and yet for years it has been common knowledge that al least one of the papers has had an uphill job to keep up the appearance of pros ppritv.

EXTENDING THE PARCEL POST.

Postmaster General BurlesOn is to be commended for his efforts to eX- tend the usefulness of the parcel post by lowering the rates, which are entirely too high, as the opera ton of the parcel post has rolled up enormous profits, and proft-making is not the purpose of the act He is also anxious to increase the weight limit so that packages be- youd eleven pounds can be carried
 trough .hc mails, If the post master general can have his way, This service will confer a great blessing on the people of this coun- try, and especially the working classes The railroads and express companies, who are alleged to own and control a number of United States senators. are trying their ut most to forestall this improvement, because it will practically ruin the express companies by diyerting their trade from them and into the channels of the parcel post. The aforenamed senator's are raising a big fuss because Postmaster Gen eral BurIeson is endeavoring to make Dhis great improvement in Lhn snrAine

NOT so CRAZY. EITHER.

A wild man who has been terror izing the residents of Warrensburg for the last few weeks has been captured. He would appear in homes in various stages of nudity, but would run when spoken to. II is supposed he is insane from the heat. He has been spending most of his time in the water around Warrensburg, which shows that he may not be so crazy after all.-Kan- sas City Star.
 All the boys and a large percent age of the men in Mena, to say nothing of the girls and women, are crazy for nice swimming pool. and would gladly pay for the privilege of using it. Other cities pay taxes in order to supply such healthful luXuries free. but in Mena the peo- pie could be counted on to pay the cost direct and a good margin for the maintenance of the park.
 Why not?

of these flowing wells is 725 feet deep and of large borG and there seems almost no doubt but by draw ing water from this by pump in the dry season the city will be well supplied, and with as fine water as the earth produces.
 With such conditions there would seem to be no proper reason for hesitancy in taking the step along improvement lines made today by the Board of Health.
 Mena is indeed beautiful in it's surroundings, healthful in it's loca- lion and almost ideal in climate With such a start, we should put on the finishing touches that will en- able thouands to enjoy the things we have.

MUST SAVE THE FEED
Word of Warning Co Farmers Con ccrning Coming Wintcr-Will
 Likely Have d WhiZZer,


 The farmer who is close ob- server of nature, and who relies more upon his obserNations and eX- perlence with weather conditions than upon his almanac or forecasts IOf the signal service system, will generally make a success out of his occupation. Nature is ever striving to maintain an equilibrium, espe- cially in meteorological conditions, and the old saylng about a "caIm after storm" will apply to every crop phase of the weather.
 Early this summer the writer sent an article to this paper in which it -Was suggested that, in view of the unprecedented rainfall throughout the United States dur ing the spring months, we might look for hot, dry summer, and farmers were urged to give their crops more thorough and more ire quent cultivations than usual in or der to offset in a measure, the un- ] favorable conditions Now. as the sIzzlmg, droulhy summer weather has visited us with a vengeance, we may reasonably expect to hear from the other extreme during the com ling winter. And if all signs do not tall we may look for the coldest and longest winter old settlers have experienced in this country for smany years. Not only that, but this other extreme in the weather will come at d time when our farmers will be less prepared for it than for many years. In fact many farm CTS failed to heed the signs in Ma ture they might have seen, and to heed the warnings of well-mean- ing neighbOrs. and failed to give their crops any extra cultivation. All these men are going to be short of feed, and in fact, there is going to be general shortage of grain feed. IL therefore behooves every farmer to get busy and save every blade and spear of forage he can get together. Many farmers are cut ting up their corn now to save the fodder and they are doing just right in cutting and shocking the whole stalk. The old style of top ping the corn only saves half of the blades on the stalk, and the blades below the ear are just as good as the blades above it. Not only is it great saving of fodder to cut the whole stalk, but it saves time and inc corn cures so much better in The shock than when exposed to the weather. Not onN are all the blades utilized in cutting the corn. but the husks are saved, and they contain considerable food proper ties when cured in the shock.
 Corn. after it passes the milk stage, is ready to cut, providing the weather is fair, and the shocke should b. made as large as possible and tied well. so they will not warp or fall down. Yes, brother farmer, save all the feed you can, for you are sure going to need if.
 Yours hopefully.
 T. P. Fulton.
