FIRST soAKER IN MONTHS.
Precipitation Tuesday Night Was
 1.h3 Inch-Behind for Year

The past five and half months in this vicinity has been remarkable lqr it's lack of ground-soaking rains the rain of Tuesday night being the first that could be so designated since June 9. The precipitation be- gan with gentle fall at 7 D. m and continued thru the night, at no time being so heavy but what Liost of 1t soaked into the ground. The total precipitation was i.43 inch.
 All thru the summer there has been numerous light showers. suf- ilelent at nearly all times to meet the demands of the growing crops. And, despite the unusually dry weather of October and November to this time, there has been enough moisture to germinate such fall grain crops as had been sown.
 The total precipitation for the year up to this time is 3414 inches. and unless there are some heavy rains during the next few weeks. the records will show 1917 to be one among the dryest years in the re- cords. The yearly average for Mena is 52.S0 inches, and the max imum, which occurred in 1905, was 69.59 inches.

Kennett is in charge of the roao from the concrete bridge in east Mena to the bridge on the Ouachita river. He has been at work only little over a week, and yet the farmers who come in over that road are loud in the praises of the improvement that has been made. MT.

 Judge Wear states that there are two other roads which are to be put under this system as soon as he finds suitable men to take the jobs. These are the Mena-Hot Springs road and the Talihina road.

GOOD FRIDAY, 1917,
70 PROVE GREAT DATE
IN WORLDS HISTORY

Good Friday in the year of Our
Lord 1917, marking the entrance OF
the last OF the great neutrals into
the war of nations, WE'LL prove one of
the memorable dates in the worlds
history. There is a Hateful symbol
ism in Americas declaration of war
upon the day which Isl observed as
that upon which Our Saviour went to
his death, martyr to the cause Of
humanity, Of justice, and the rights
Of all the people Of the whole world
to equality before the throne of God.
Today in the heart Of every loyal
American sound the majestic lines Of
Julia Ward Howe's Battle Hymn of
the Republic:
In the beauty Of the lilies Christ was
born across the sea,
with a glory in His bosom that
transfigures you and me;
"As He died to make men holy, LET
US DIE TO MAKE MEN FREE,
while God is Marching on"
Good Friday in Churches.
Services of especial solennnity are
observed today in every Christian
church Of the civilized world. The
days worship marks the climax of
Passion week---a period which in
many churches is observed with serv-
ices concentrating the final trials
ard sufferings of the Christ
America, too, has had it's Passion
week, and it, too, has found it's climax
in the early dawn Of dismal, typical
