THE VERY THING.

For all practical purposes this page is going to serve as a splendid substi- tute for a Hatfield Newspaper. In fact, it will be better if handled right than strict Hatfield paper, all print ed and edited here, for the Mena Star is one among the few of the very best county newspapers in the whole Unit ed States, and it also has large cir culation.
 As newspaper the Mena Star has no critics. A Hatfield paper would be so small by comparison that it's news items and advertising matter would doubtlessly be overlooked by the pub lie.
 We are living in day of "big things" All important industries and all things necessary to the well fare of mankind are headed towards the goal of unity and cooperation. So why not extend this move little and let it include the newspaper field, Instead of several adjoining towns attempting to support each a small newspaper of its own, why not have them all unite their efforts and assist in getting up kind of community newspaper service, whereby thru sec- tions, departments and pages, each town might find broader representa- tion. Now we are about to see this take place in Polk county Cove was the first one to take up the idea and now as Hatfield is following suit there is nothing to prevent other near by towns from doing the same, which if carried out will give Polk county a big name. You see if the county gets helped we will be helped. There is no use in being selfish about these
