Was Given Tryout Up the Hill to
 The Boulders.

A. F. Bently of Dallas, Tex, rep resenting the American LaFrance Fire Engine Co.,, was in Mena last week to superintend the unloading of the Mena fire truck, and to demon- strate the use of the truck to the sat isfaction of the city officers and the members of the department. Trial trips have been made with the truck to all parts of the city, one run being made up Quigley Hill and then around the horseshoe drive and down the hill on Grandview Heights. A demonstra- tion in handling the truck at fire was also made by Mir. Bently be- fore he left the city. The truck, in addition to carrying supply of hose for utilizing the water pressure, also has 40-gallon chemical fire ex- tinguisher tank, and four hand fire ex- tinguishers, so that many small fires will be handled without resorting to water.
 Mayor Smith again urges those who subscribed to the fund to pay for this fire apparatus to call at the Farmers & Merchants bank and take up the city warrants, as agreed.

MANY HEARD JUDGE J. s. STEEL
All Denominations and People From
 Country at Patriotic Meeting.

The patriotic meeting held Sunday night in the Star Hall again demon strated that the principles of true de- mocracy are taking hold of the people all over this country as never before. The audience of near 800 people was from all walks in life and of every religious belief and people from the country and the city and towns
 The speaker for the occasion was Judge J. S. Steel of Ashdown, who was in his best form and delivered an address that held the closest at tention of the audience, so that many expressed regret that he did not speak longer. Aside from discussing the IS sues that were responsible for this war, and pointing out forcibly the character of the enemy that we gre fighting, Judge Steel came closer to each in his audience by presenting earnestly the duties that confront the folks at home while the boys are go- ing to the training camps, the seas, the trenches and eventually over the top into mo mans land" suggesting that it was not enough that we do our bit, but bringing home forcibly that unless we do our all we will not be properly backing up the boys who have responded to the call to the col ors
 He went even further and stated that if we do our all we will not be doing nearly as much as the boys who are doing the fighting for us. The climax of the appeal was to purchase Liberty Bonds, assist in the conser- vation of food, and organizing the savings societies for the purchase of war savings and thrift stamps, and to take part in every activity which comes to us frc.n the government.
 Dr. H. c. Rushing, director of the speakers division of the Third Liberty Loan, presided at the meeting. The invocation was. given by Superinten- dent c. K. Wilkerson of the Mena schools and the benedietion was pro- nounced by Dr. M. L. Anthony. The music for the occasion was furnished by chorus composed of members of the several church choirs, with Mrs. Edwin B. Cox as accompanist.

 By "wheatless" we mean no wheat flour in any food served except that contained in Victory" bread
