MENA BETTER THAN EVER.

Col s. c. Warner, general pas senger and ticket agent of the Kan sas City Southern, spent several hours in Mena Wednesday, taking drive over the city in company with w. c. B. Allen.
 Col Warner has been a close ob- server of Mena for a good many years, and remarked while here that Mena was a better city than ever before. Naturally, his opinion is based on tangible facts, in this case the receipts of the railroad from business at this place, which are showing a substantial and steady increase. both in the freight and passenger departments.
 Col Warner is one of the head officials of the railroad who ap- preciateS what Nature has done for Mena as a summer and winter health resort, but says it is folly for the railroad to advertise it as such and undertake to bring tour ists here until we ca supply ade- quate hotel accommodations.

ARKANSAS MEN ARE GETTING
 INTO NATIONAL LIMELIGHI

Little Rock, March ii.-One of the things which pleased the Ar kansas delegation at the inaugural ton the most highly" states a mem Der of the party which returned to Little Rock Monday, was the stir Arkansas is making. at Washington in the new administration. Of course w. r. McCombs is big man, but we found Senator James P. Clarke the big man of the sena- torial body. He has just been se- lected a member of the steering committee, which names all of the committees of the Senate, and be- fore we left we saw him elevated to the position of president pro tenn of the Senate, which is the greatest honor that can be bestowed upon a member of that committee. Sena- tor Clarke is recognized to be one of the leaders of the Democratic
 party in Washington, and his ability is appreciated most highly, for everyone we met spoke of the big men Arkansas has in Washington. There is no state in the union which
 stands so well there now as Arkan-
 sas, and people do not laugh any more when the state is mentioned.

SENATE STANDS READY TO ADJOURN
Has Passed All Appropriation Bills Placed Before It-HOuSe Makes Change in the State
 Capitol Bill.

Little Rock, March 12.-If there is anything of importance left un- done by the 39th General Assembly at the close of business today, it will be in the House, for the Senate has completed every appropriation measure placed before it, and stands ready to adjourn. With the pass age of the State Capitol appropria- ton bill and the rejection of the portion providing for arbitration of the claim of Caldwell & Drake, for mer state capitol contractors, by both branches of the legislature, the last hope of the contractors fled.
 The House passed the appropria- ton bill as it went through the Senate, merely changing the caption which provided for the arbitration of the contractors claim, the sec- ton permitting one item to be transferred to another so that it cannot be done and the section pro- Viding for the payment of the con- tractors, should they file a bond of S200000 to abide by the decision of the Supreme court as a board of arbitration. Senator Covington ob- jected to the elimination of this section, but only he and Senator Martin opposed the bill.

with the changing demands of mod ern social and economic conditions? I believe not. The leaven of this new idea of modern bushes, methods for modern public4 busi- ness has taken root in the public mind. The people are everywhere talking it over, and 1 am one oi those who believe that the people can be trusted to reach correct con- clusions about their own public business when they are given ade- quate opportunity to study and dis cuss any subject.
 "The people of Kansas are pro- gressive; they know what they want. Give them a chance at the ballot box and they will get it. I am not in sympathy with the idea that any public officer knows better than the people themselves what they want"

 CORN AND COTTON CLUB
To the Members of lhe Boys, G

To the Members of the Boys Corn
 Club:
 Planting time is nearly here, boys, and there is but Attle time left for enrolment. We aow have 2 corn boys and 26 cotton boys. If you want to be a member of the club, send in your name without further delay, as I will close the enrolment March 9.
 I am not ready yet to announce the premium list, but am assured by the business men that we will again have one of the largest premi- um lists offered by any county in the state. Prof. Jcrnigan. who is our state agent this year, tells us that he will have the best list of Islate premiums We have ever had. { Now, boys and girls, l want you to get busy and make the best corn and cotton crop this county has ever made Let us have a lively contest for the county premiums and we will be sure for our share of the state premiums.
 Get your land ready for planting by preparing a deep bed. Most of you have your land plQwed with turn blow, and now before planting time give it another thorough blow ing with straight shoVels. Nothing is better for this than a double shovel blow with long, narrow blows set close together and a good strong team. You cant make this blowing too deep. Before doing this is the time to apply your barn yard manure if you have not al- ready done this. Broadcast the ma nure and blow it in. Harrow your land after breaking until it is thoroughly pulverized. It is then ready for working and planting. Get the best seed you can, preferably that grown near home Test the seed before planting. You cant get a good crop if you have a poor stand.
 I am going to visit all of you just as often as possible and help you in any way that 1 can. Write me for any particular instruction you wish.
 Read the fertilizer advertisements in The Star and The Democrat and buy your fertilizer so as to con- pete for the prizes being offered by the dealers.
 Come to the meetings at Mena when you can. There is nothing compulsory about your attending these meetings, but they will be helpful to you if you can attend them.
 There will be a meeting at the court house Saturday, March 9, and I would be glad to meet you all at that time.
 I have arranged to be in Mena every Saturday, and when any of you are there on that day hunt me up. Let's put Polk county at the top in the boys club work this year.
 Yours for better things for the farmer boys and girls.
