the recent strike Of policemen in Bos-

when unrest is evident every public

SEEKS HOLLY FOR CHRISTMAS
Oklahoma Man Believes Can Handle
Car or Two.

G. L. Odds of Bixby, Ok, was at
Commercial Club headquarters Mon
day to get information on the posi-
bility of getting supply of holly
from Polk county for the northern
market. He was accompanied by M.
B. Legate, with whom he had been in
correspondence, and together they
made a trip to the 0uachita east of
Mena, which convinced Mr.. Odds that
he could handle a car or two Of this
Christmas greenery if he can get the
cooperation of local parties. If this
proposition is worked out it will mean
Christmas pocket money for the boys
and girls of the county, even as the
market for hickory nuts furnished by
the White Produce Company is now
making pocket money. Again, if Mr..
Odds succeeds in getting carload or
two of holly. he plans to return to
Polk county next spring to buy sassa-
fras roots.

Company Wins Favor of First
Night Audience in Mena.
If it is crime to laugh then there
were a lot of criminals at the opening
of Jack Parsons Manhattan Comedi-
ans in Mena Monday night. There
was big audience inside the tented
theater and there was an opportun-
ity to laugh every few minutes. Some
of the crowd were still chuckling the
next morning.
The company presented at its open
ing appearance "The Country Boy" a
comedy in three acts, and rated to
produce so laughs every hour. 1t
lived up to its reputation, and if
there We're any in the audience who
didn't laugh they were not visible to
the naked eye.
The company is composed of a
clever lot of performers. and every
character in the Country Boy" was
well portrayed. The antics of bud"
especially pleased. 1t was announced
that the Manhattan Comedians will
be in Mena the rest of the week and
present new play every night.

FIGHTING HARD TO
KEEP PLANT GOING
Commonwealth Public Service Com
pany Rushing Efforts to Prepare
for Change From Coal to Oil
Fayetteville Shut Down.

G. W. Fry, general manager for
the Commonwealth Public Service
Company, spent Thursday in Mena,
cooperating with b. j. Marley, local
manager, in making radical efforts
and changes to meet the coal short
age. occasioned by the big miners
strike.
Mr.. Fry informed The Star that
when it became apparent that the
strike would cut off the coal supply,
he had Immediately ordered two oil
tanks Of $4,000 barrels combined
capacity, and these We're loaded and
shipped from Alma, Ark, on Novem-
Der 5. Following this a car Of fuel
oil was ordered from Shreveport, and
both tanks and oil are expected to
arrive very soon.
In the meantime Manager Marley
who is conversant with the use of oil
as fuel, is working almost night and
day in making the necessary changes
at the power plant. By these efforts
it is hoped to be ready TO make the
fuel change by the time the small
amount Of coal no won hand is ex-
hausted.
Mr.. Fry stated, however, that il il
became evident that this could not be
done and at the some time give full
24-hour service, he would try and
make arrangements to shout down
