IT WORKS BOTH WAYS.

The Star never intends to let an opportunity pass to stand up for our home people and home institu- tions-and this means that it al- ways is having something to say about patronizing homefolks in every line-anything but to prac- tice sending our money away from home and out of our reach-the paralyzing of our own prosperity by sending away that which keeps trade and commerce going among us-our money. This, of course, applies as much to our merchants as to the farmers. It applies to everyone who lives in this locality and who hopes and expects to thrive and prosper with the de- velopment of Mena and Polk coun- ty. Only ones who can afford to ignore the principle are those who believe they can prosper by the community uONnldll.
 And following is a communica- ton on this very topic. Read it and analyze it:
 ''To the Editor
 T want to applaud Mrs. J. w. lille for her article, published in your good paper a week or two ago. Should also like to respond in my small way ot Community Builder Everyone is 'hollering these days for a square deal Even the newspaper men have taken up the cry for the farmer to patronize the home merchant instead of ordering from mail order houses; but not many are bothering themselves as to who is going to give the farmer the square deal
 Isn't it queer that the merchant who advertises groceries and feed will not buy the farmers corn, hay, spuds, sweet potatoes, apples, etc, by prefers to have them ship ped in, paying freight, hauling to and fram car, etc, and charge it, along with a goodly profit, to the consumer, when he could purchase the same articles from the farmer at home and save freight expenses, and thus could sell cheaper? Whats the matter, anyway? Even clover, alfalfa seed and the like has to be purchased from seed houses, when they could be bought direct from farmers for a trifle over half of what we now pay for them. Our merchant also has a coal heater in his store, and no doubt in his home Inquire the reason, and he informs you that coal is cheaper than wood, regardless of the fact that many farmers would be only too glad to exchange him a rick of wood for a sack of flour or other groceries.
 Now, MT. Editor, quit kickin' the farmer aroun'; give him square deal and rest assured that the home merchant will get the square deal from the farmer. As long as the slogan on Keep the money at home holds good for the farmer, it will hold good for the merchant; and until the merchants do give us a square deal, can not several farmers get together and order our supplies together, thus saving freight?
 Another Community Builder"
 Against, The Star must repeat that we must work together in these things-the farmer and the
  merchant and the consumer. Of course, if the farmers cannot get a square deal. they have a perfect right to buy the best they can, and if the merchants can't buy from the farmers the kind and class of pro- ducts their customers demand, they must buy elsewhere.
 But such conditions should not

A Toast to Mena

There's tranquil little city, The fairest ever saw AL the foot of old Rich Mountain Way down in Arkansaw This calm, sequestered city Is like a. Virgin Queen In her coat of many coors- Blue, yellow, red and green. Her homes are most attractive, Her people are the best She's the beauty spot of all the South And of the East and West IIhen let us not despise her, But thoroughly modernze her, Then go to work and advertise her And we can immortalize herr. With her crystal mountain rills, And her sunkissed, emerald hills, Where roses bloom and dafodis, And the Mockbird and the Whippoorwill Sing Peace on Earth and to Good Will" Then can there be, in any land, A spot more richly best? Dame Nature has divorced her From the ugly and grotesque; And like Geneva Swzerland She's divney picturesque. Once arrayed in civic beauty, And all up-to-date and clean, Viewed from the Qugley Mansion She's radiant as a Queen. By the lavish hand of Nature, This little Ozark gem, Has a wealth of rural grandeur That surpasses all of them. All her hsides and her mountains Are adorned with lovely trees, And her flowers. in rich profusion Perfume the Summer breeze. In her wealth of Tropic verdure, The sweet Magnolias Queen, Ind hprd arc AS man has ever seen. In her rich, Autumnal beauty, No fairer spot you see, Though you roam from Florence Italy, To San Diego by the sea. Her waters the purest, Her climate is the best Her ethereal skies the bluest Her hills the most celest In Springtime, in Autumn, - Our Mena lands dream, And offers poet and painter most enchanting theme At midnight when the moonlight From the vauted Heavens gleam Among these Ozark foothills The poet loves 10 dream. At sunset, ere all Nature
 Has gone to quiet rest, As the mellow golden sunlight Fades from the mountain crest; Tis then our phantomed little city is made to look her hest Then let drink to Mena And all together stand Till she becomes tourists Mecca The grandest in the land.
