things. What helps one helps all, But to play safe we must always look out after our own town first.
 Mena is known far and wide and it is mostly due to the Mena Star. And we can do the same thing for Hatfield if we will stick to it and keep this page by making it interesting and as regular as clockworks. It is staying qualities that count this day and f time.
 We are also living in day of ad- vertising, and when this page goes out regularly with good, clean, honest ads and authentic news items, people will soon take notice. We have a good country around Hatfield and all outsiders need to know about it. Once those people who live in the drouthy, malarial and windy countries find this country out they will flock here in great hordes.
 Hatfield is only a small town about 1000 population-but it's citi- zenship and various classes of busi- ness houses, connected with its fine schools and churches, make it distinc- tive. The town is located on the Kan sas City Southern Railway, just half way between Kansas City and the Gulf of Mexico, and for climate and crop adaptations the whole surround ing country is hard to beat, especially that part lying west into Oklahoma, where people have already begun to ! settle in great numbers and are using Hatfield for trading and shipping point. They come here from as far as Bethel and Ida, Ok, to trade, distance of 45 miles.
 Watch us, 1 say. We have been little modest in the past about our boosting. But as the war has changed things and has taught us the import ance of advertising, as witnessed by big Liberty Loan drives, we are pre- pairing to tell ourselves and others something that is all real new. Once you get people to mixing, talking and thinking, old things become new. And that is what newspaper does-it gets people to talking more so than any other one factor known in modern life. Now what are you going to do about this page? If you like it tell the other fellow, or, if you dislike it tell Joe Lewis, and in this way we can improve. Any way remember when you get thru looking the page over that there is another one in pre- paration. Watch for next weeks issue.

 Owing to the plant inspection law, which recently went into effect. there will be a considerable reduction in the sweet potato planting here, as many growers who supplied themselves and a few neighbors, will not sell as 1t would not pay to have them in- spected for the small sales they make. Several small planters say they won't bother this year to send away for the few plants they want, so there prom ises to be shortage of this very profitable crop. It is not too late yet for the grower to bed out few pota- toes for his own plants.

SUPERST|T|OUS DUTCH
SEE BOCHE future

Amerongen. May l7,--(Correspon'
dence OF the Associated Press, THE
people OF Amergoncn, old fashioned
in their ideas, have been given re-
Gently what they regard as u token
OF the future OF Germany.
Two storks every year make their
nest on tower OF Amerongen Castle
where the former German emperor
Is staying. This year the female
stork returned alone and built her
nest, Soon came three male storks
but all were beaten OF with violent
peckings. Two days later a lone
male stork arrived and he too was
accorded hostile reception, How
ever, he lowered about perservering-
ly and fought of n fourth. The
combat was watched with intense In
terest both by the occupants OF the
castle. among them the two Hohen-
zollerns. Next day the male stork
shared the nest with the female on
the nest. from which the eggs had
been elected. The two birds appear
ed quite happy.
Superstitious villagers compare the
non-appearance OF the male stork
after the winter absence with the
disappearance OF the erstwhile en-
peror from Germany after the war,
The first wooers OF the widowed fe-
male stork are likened to the var
ious parties which tried to fill the
place OF the former imperial ruler
and were rejected. The persevering
male stork is taken as the emblem
OF the German people determined to
become their own rulers. The last
fight of the male storks Is said TO
represent the struggle OF the Ger
man nation to shake of the bolshe-
vild. The election OF the eggs from
the nest Is assumed to mean the
casting out OF all that belonged to
the old imperial system OF rule.
while the happy outcome Of content
ed family life in the nest is looked
on ais the portent OF the happy future
OF Germany.
