"FULLFLLMENr OF pLANs~
Dr. Elmer E. Holt Tells Friends
 Why He Comes to Mena.

Dr. Elmer E. Holt and Mrs. Holt who soon will come from St. Louis to make their home in Mena. in an- nouneing in the form of a circular ietter addressed to their friends and patrons their contemplated depar- ture, have produced a classic in advertising, presenting tersely the conditions which prevail here and which have led them to break home ties and friendships that have been many years in forming. This is the letter.
 St. Louis, Mo, Aug. i. 1917. To Our Friends and Patrons :
 Our moving from St. Louis to Mena Ark, may seem very sudden to you all.
 To Us 1t merely means the full lilment of years of planning.
 Our son, Norris, is now thru high school.
 We desire to raise Thomas. our younger son, in the country, where we can mix farming, stock raising and medicine.
 Just at this opportune time we find the place we have so often an tlctpated. Where our dreams may come true.
 Where the climate it superb.
 Where the water is fine.
 Where the scenery is simply gor- geous.
 Where the Pumpkin is smiling on the vine.
 Where the Sweet Potato, the Tomato and the Strawberry have flavor all their own.
 Where at an elevation of 1900 feet there are no Mosquitoes, no Malaria and the nights are always cool
 Where the Winters are short and mild
 Where the Arkansas moon makes life worth while.
 Tt takes these and many more good reasons to induce us to move away from our good Missouri and Illinois friends, who have been kind enough to assist us in making some thing more than a goon living dur ing the past i9 years.
 You will always have cultivat- ed spot in our memories. The latch string will always hang on the out side for you all.
 With many regrets, with the best of wishes and our minds full of hope, we go to Mena, Ark.

PLENTY OF WATER
 AND BEST QUALITY
cuy,s supply From Springs Is Aug mepted by Pumping the Big We'll
 No Chance for Impurities to
 Get Into the Water Mains.

Nena certainly has reason to be increasingly proud of her water works system, and the quality of water supplied her citizens.
 In this connection Superintendent pucanne reports an improvement inst completed that is worthy of special mention.
 Each season since the waterworks dam was built there came time dnring the dry weather of summer when the reservoir was emptied, and such water as flowed down the valley from the springs came thru little channel formed in the bot tom of the reservoir before reach ing the pipe lines. Tn making this massage the waters came in con- tact with the sediment in the basin. and this, as was often obvious, did not improve the quality nor the purity of the water. To overcome this yearly trouble, MT. Duganne, under direction of the commission, has laid a 4-inch pipe from the dam and the regular supply line to a point about 700 feet up the val ley At the upper end of this, a concrete basin was formed, into which the pure spring water flows, thence into the pipeline, and on to the standpipe, at no point coming into contact with any impurities or chance for contamination.
 At this season the supply from the springs and the two flowing wells is being augmented by pump ing from the big deep we'll, tho it is only necessary to pump occasionally to meet the requirements.
 Incidentally, w. l.. Winters. of the engineering firm of Winters X Dove of Fort Smith, who had charge of the installation of the new distrib- utng system installed in 1911, and was in town Thursday, remarked that the pipe that then cost about 25,000 now would cost about Si0O,- GOO, and the lead used in the joints is now | cents instead of i12 cents A pOund
