BANK WILL ASSIST
 LIVESTOCK INTERESTS

Farmers X Merchants Has Unique Plan for Getting Purebred Breeding
 Stock Into Polk County.
 A plan something out of the ordin- ary, but one that will undoubtedly be of great benefit to the livestock in- dustry of Polk county, has been put into operation by the Farmers & Merchants Bank of Mena.
 The financial institution, as one of the measures for bringing about clos CT affiliations between the bank and the progressive livestock interests, proposes to give away purebred Shorthorn males, one each year until three or more have been distributed
 Just as soon as President Hopson and Cashier Nance can find the ani- maj they want they will bring it to Mena, where patrons of the bank can see with their own eyes just what is offered them. The bank officials want a purebred Shorthorn male, somewhere between and 15 months of age, preferably a roan. When they find the animal sought it will be brought to Polk county and acclimat- ed thoroly before going to its ulti- mate possessor.
 The awarding of the Shorthorn male will be determined next Febru- ary. The bank has evolved a system of awarding numbers to it's patrons, and one of these numbers will decide who is to own the animal. The sys- tenn used will be one that will give every patron of the bank an oppor- tunity at the new Shorthorn. Off, cers and directors of the institution are of course barred from participa- tion.
