MOVING DAY TOR THE sTAR

When boys and girls grow. ant
 just keep on growing. they have C
 have bigger clothes, all the way
 from shoes to hats and in between
 and that is just how it is-with news
 papers.
 The Star, from the vesy first has grown, and just kept on growing and it had to have bigger clothes
 and so last Saturday Vas moving day-not the first, by any means but as we look at it now, in all probability the last for many, many Iyears.
 In the new home The Star has nice big press room, where the big Babeock, .hat aristocrat of all the presses in it's class: is securely anchored to solid concrete foun- cation, and there for a score or more of years it prohahly will per- form it's part in the making of The Star. With it is a folding machine and both are hitched up to brand new 6 horsepower engine that is sure to make the wheels go around when needed.
 Next is the big composing room, 33x4C feet, with the advertising and job type, the job presses, the sta- piers and perforator and paper cut ter and all such equipment, and the biggest in the bunch, the Mergan- thaler that molds practically every line of common type that goes in The Star, and a lot besides. This room is splendidly lighted and ven- tilated, and with it's fine floor and white wall and ceilings, makes an ideal place for both work and workmen. And the machinery in this room is driven by fine little busybody of an engine and this engine with it's big brother" are both entirely outside the main building, and separated therefrom by an i8-inch wall.
 Then up front is the business off, flee, roomy and light and pleasant for the workers and visitors, and close at hand the editors workshop.
 In short, the entire arrangement of this new Star Building. as it will be called wien folks get used to it, just its a modern printing plant from end to end. If is located just block nearer the Court house and across the street from the new posbillre now nearing completion.
 And, in a week or so, when we get strengthened out in our new home, every one of our friends and everybody else is invited to look in on us.

PLAIN QUESTIONS
 TO MENA PEOPLE
Every Mena Reader Will Admit the
 S0undness of the Logic.


 Would Mena people recommend Doan's Kidney Pills as they do if the medicine were not reliable? {? Would they confirm their statements after years have elapsed if their experiences did not show the reme- |dy to be deserving of it? State ments like the following must car ny conviction to the mind of every reader:
 s. Badt, merchant, 606 Seventh St, Mena, says: "Doan's Kidney Pills are certainly the best kidney medi- cine l ever used and many people to whom I have recommended them speak in the highest terms of their curative powers. I suffered from backache for couple oi years and finally used Doan's Kidney Pills. They fixed up my kidneys in good shape"
 OVER FIVE YEARS LATER Mir, Badt said: We still use Deans Kidney Pills occasionally and al- ways with the same good results, I am never without this medicine in the house"
 Price 60c at all dealers. Don't simply ask for kidney remedy-get Deans Kidney pilIs-the same that Mir. Badt has twice publicly recom- mended. Foster -Milburn Co, Props Buffalo. N. Y. Adv

The other clutched the rescued man
by the hair Of his head.
"Look out. You're drowning him."
the mate warned.
"Am Ir Macdonald glanced with

"Shows how absent-minded a man gets.

The Scotsman pushed himself back
from the boat and fell into an easy
stroke. Nevertheless, there was power
IN 1t, for he reached the Hannah be-
fore the rescued miner had been
helped to the deck.
A dozen passengers, crowded on the
lower deck, pushed forward eagerly
to see. Among them was Selfridge, his
shirt and collar torn loose at the
neck and his immaculate checked suit
dusty and d%isheveled. He was wearing
a pair Of up to date Oxford pumps.
Macdonald shook himself like a New
foundland dog. He looked around
with sardonic amusement, a grin on
his swollen and disfigured face.
"Quite a pleasant welcome home" he
said ironically. his cold eyes fixed on
a face that looked as If 1t might have
been kicked by a healthy mule. "Eh,
Trelawney?"
The Cornishman glared ut him. and
turned away with q low. savage oath.
"Are you hurt, Mr.. Macdonald?"
asked the captain.

"Forget 1t, captain. I'll attend to
that little matter" His jaunty. almost
~insolent glance made the half-circle
again. "Sorry you were too late for
the party, gentlemen-most Of you. ]

among those present. 1t was O strict
ly exclusive affair. And now, II you
don't mind, I'll say good night"
He turned on his heel, went up the
stairway to the deck above and dis
appeared into his stateroom.'
