New York. Aug. 22.-All through
the day there was continued progress
made of readjustment of market condi-

through the first six months of the year.
Stocks had been bought on the declines
in the preceding days of the week by
some of the strongest interests in the
banking world, and when bear energies
were exposed yesterday, and it was
demonstrated that there was no other
sources Of supply except that which
came from sales for short accounts.
Buying orders were moderate at first,
but they were sufficient to cause nd-
vanccs ranging from good fractions to
over u points all through the list. The
only exception to the general improve
mcnt being in Industrial Alcohol, which
dropped points to 125 following the
announcement of the new stock issues.

The Mena weekly star., 1919-04-03

Mena's handsome new postoffice building has been almost two years in the making. The first actual con- struction work was done on May Is, 1917, and cit was first opened to the public on March 31, 1919. Built as it was during the period of the great world war, it naturally suffered de- lays and set backs due to the abnor- nal conditions of the times.
 Located at the northeast corner of Mena street and Maple avenue, the new structure faces westward. The story and a half building is n feet long and 56 feet wide. The style of architecture is what is known as the modified colonial and it's attractive ness is due largely to its simple lines and absence of extreme ornateness.
 The outside walls are of gray col ordered pressed brick with limestone trimmings. There is one main en- trance on Mena street, the facade be- ing ornamented by large columns. Over the main entrance floats Old Glory from 15-foot flagstaff.
 Contractors who erected the build ing received $42,039.50 for their work The furniture and fixtures cost about S6,O00 more. The site cost $4,199, making the total cost of the new gov ernmental structure more than fifty thousand dollars.
 Some items of cost of the building that may be of interest are the fol- lowing:
 Lighting fixtures, $1,04s.82.
 Safe and reserve stamp deposit $1 100.
 Lock boxes, $1,014.50
 Furniture, $1,404.
 The two glass covered mahogany desks in the main lobby cost 1884.
 Upon entering from Mena street the visitor first passes thru short anteroom and thence into the main lobby, 29x17 feet. This lobby has a terrazzo floor with marble base. The walls here are the highest of any in the building and the ornamental plas- ter cornicc and panelling adds to the attractiveness. The lobby is lighted with clear windows and save on cloudy days should not need any arti-
The Mena weekly star., 1919-04-03

hcial illumination from the heavy chandeliers that hang from the cell ing.
 At the north end of the lobby are the general delivery, stamp, parcel post and money order windows. At the south end are the lock boxes. On the east side are ground glass win dows, which, should business demand, can be replaced with additional lock boxes. The receiving slots for letters and papers are at the northeast cor ner of the lobby.
 The postmaster's office is at the southwest corner of the main floor and faces Mena street. The remain der of the entire floor is given over to the working end of the postoffice. The financial division is on the north side. The mailing and sorting eases are located where they are most con- venient to the workers. At the south end of the work room are the carriers tables.
 All furniture used in the working department of the postoflice is of the latest style and design, well and sub stantially built, and of the same pat tern as that used in all up-to-date offices. With sufficiency of light, ventilation and heat, this should prove a pleasant place for those employed.
 A short flight of stairs at the rear of the work room leads up to the car riers' "swing room," or rest room and toilets. This is the only room above the ground floor and will be used ex- clusively by employees when not on duty.
 In the basement will be found the civil service room, the postal inspec- tors office, the furnace room, fuel bins and storage rooms. The civil service room and inspectors office will be reached from the main en- trance, thru door at tffe right of the main doorway. A short flight of stairs leads downward to a corridor which conects with these two depart ments.
 In the furnace room is to be found 2 steam heating plant capable of heat

WINGO SPOKE
 TO MENA SCHOOL CHILDREN
Urged That Students Dedicate Their Lives to Service to Their Eel
 low Man

The teachers and pupils of the High school were given an intellectual treat this morning at the opening exercises in the way of heart-to-heart talk by Congressman Otis Wingo of DeQueen, here as the guest of honor for the for maj opening of the new postoffice.
 Congressman Wingo, having been a teacher, understands the mental atti- tude of High school students, and was thus able to bring message that was inspirational and full of the spirit of optimism, and yet the story he told carried home to the students a reali- zation of the serious and trying duties they will have in the next quarter of a century in helping reconstruct the civilization which was saved by the recent Allied victory over the Hun. Briefly he pointed out to his intensely attentive audience the clements that must be part of manhood and wom- anhood in order to be able to win in the struggle that is set before us. These elements were industry, thoro preparation, nobility of character, optimism and faith in man and God. MT. Wingo closed his address with a fervent plea to the students to dedi- cate themselves to life of service to their fellow man, thus emulating the supreme sacrifice that has been made by the youth of America that the world might be made safe for democ- racy.
 At the close of his address to the High school, Congressman Wingo vis- tied Miss Toka Anderson and her pupils, also in the High school build ing, and in simple words talked to the little ones about Uncle Sam, the man for whom he is working in Washing ton. Here, too, he was given the closest attention; and for a long time, both the High school students and the little ones in Miss Anderson's room will count the visit of Congressman Wingo as red letter day in their school life.
The Mena weekly star., 1919-04-03

The motive for other criticisms, he charged was ulterior, coming from the munition manufacturers and oth- CTS who profited by war and are will ing that American boys be sacrificed that they might be enriched.
 As for his attitude on the provis- ions of the constitution of the League of Nations, Mir. Wingo said that while he would make amendments if he had the authority, he was willing to trust to the statesmanship of President Will son to get the best he could into he fully realizing that fail ure at this critical time to secure some sort of league inevetably meant war. That his audience agreed with him was evidenced by the prolonged applause which followed his perora- tion which was splendid tribute to President Wilson, the man above all others, whose thought and influence is the controlling force at the peace conference.
 Hal L. Norwood presided at the meeting, and in his happy way intro duced Congressman Wingo, as he did Dr. J. N Crutcher of Kansas City, a visitor in the city, who preceded Mir. Wingo, responding to the call of Mena friends, and placing the audience in proper mental attitude for the address to follow by his brief and pointed re- marks, and especially by the state ment that the only criticism he had of his home city was that it always had d brick or club to shy at the President
 The Rev T. A. Park of the Presby- terian church pronounced the invoca- tion, and never before did Mena audience join so wholeheartedly in singing "America," as did this one in the opening number of the meeting.
