Norwood, in speaking of Mir. Wingo, stated that the reason itN AteAa AftaNC NuCiA q o0IACoo ao &otA~ gressman was because he had made the matter of being congressman his business, and not used it as a side is- sue to other activities, as was com mon failing.
 Congressman Wingo responded in a vein. both serious and full of cour- age. lie urged that Mena, already a fine town, keep up it's growth, indus trially, intellectually and morally un- til it had reached position worthy the best in the land.

J. $. GAINS AN HOUR FOR PLAY
Clocks Were Moved Forward Sunday 3 Morning to Give an Extra Hour of
 ] Daylight-Turn Back Next Octo- ber-A Thrift Move.

Perhaps you were not among those who, at some time Saturday night or on Sunday morning turned your watch and clock ahead, but if you did zot, you found yourself out of step with lot of big things in the United States. And, for your own convent snce, you had best take the step that puts you in touch with the people and things around you that have, be- cause the nation as whole is operat- ing under the thew time," or "sum- ner time" plan, and will continue so until Sunday, October 26, when the clocks will be turned back one hour, or to normal time"
 According to the new schedule sun rise occurred Sunday morning in Mena at about 6.48 a. m., and set about 722 D. m., instead of 5:48 and 6:22 under the old system.
 An Hour More Daylight.
 In other words, there will be one hour more of daylight, made possible by moving the clocks ahead, than be- fore the change. And until the last Sunday in October there will be an ex- tra hour for golf games, tennis sets, motoring, gardening, play, work or for any purpose desired.
 Do not try to fool yourself by the statement so commonly heard last summer: "It's ' by the clock, but in reality it's only G." When the clock says ' o'clock it will be o'clock.

GRIFFITH AND HOUSE
 BUY SILVER PICK MINE

A deal was closed recently whereby c. T Griffith and Edward w. House became the sole owners of the well known Silver Pick estate in the Silver King section. This was perhaps one of the first claims in the Silver King section to be located and has always been recognized as a good silver and lead producer.
 It is the intention of the new own CTS to start sinking on the ground inn mediately. The shaft will be started on ledge that carries silver values better than fifty ounces and which as- says better than 50 per cent in lead. The claim has been worked in the past and some rich silver ore has been taken out.
 Messrs. House and Griffith moved to the property this week and have opened camp.
 MT. Griffith and family will occupy the old stone house on the property and a new house is being erected for the use of MT. House. Both men will put in all their time at the mine.

TEMPTATION

I envy him who ne'er Has borne the bruises of defeat Whose pathways have been smooth Whom chance has never learned to
 claim
 For he has never claimed the sweet Reward that comes to those that dare To be triumphant, to possess The splendid solace of success Won after failure and despair l do not envy lovers who Have never found their love be-
 trayed,
 Who love but once and journey
 through
 Life by one little passion swayed; For they have never gladly laid Aside the false love for the true, And they have missed this splendid
 thrill Who, having loved in vain, can still Forget the ache and love anew. I do not envy him whose days Have all been peaceful days and
 bright Who has not looked with envious gaze On luckier men who scorned his
 plight;
 For he has never won the right To listen proudly to the praise Which is reserved for those who
 gain
 Their honors after bitter pain And many storms and long delays.

REPORT FROM THE STOCK
 MARKET AT KANSAS CITY

Kansas City Stock Yards, March 31st, 1919. The cattle market is strong today; hogs opened 10 to 15 cents higher and closed 25 cents high CT with a new high record price for the year at $19.o0, sheep 10 to 15 cents higher, lambs up to $19.75. The slump in fat steers and lambs last week seems to have been sufficient to bring out renewed demand, and the strength in today's market was with liberal receipts available for killers.
 TODAY'S RECEIPTS
 About 13,000 cattle, 10000 hogs, S. 900 sheep arrived today. This was fewer cattle and sheep than a week ago, but an increase in hogs. Re- ceipts of cattle from Kansas, Cobra do, Nebraska, Texas, Oklahoma, Mis- souri, California and Idaho.
 BEEF CATTLE
 Trade in killing cattle opened slow ly, but COW buyers soon broke through with strong to 10 cents higher prices, and steer buyers raised their early bids, which were lower, to fully a steady level. Trade in the better grades became fairly active and were cleaned up closely. Native steers sold up to S1S.00 and pulp fed steers from both Colorado and Nebraska brought $15.25 to SIPS. Short fed Kansas and Missouri steers sold at $15. 100 to $16.50. That class of steers is selling relatively better here than elsewhere. Idaho steers brought $15.- 25. In the opinion of buyers, prime finished steers, heavy weights would sell above $19.50. Yearling steers and ,,heifers mixed sold up,to $16.25, cows $14.75, heifers $15.25, and bulls $8.5 to $11.50. Veal calves brought $10.50 to $14.25.
 STOCKERS AND FEEDERS
 Western slope Colorado mountain feeders sold up to $15.50. Southwest Missouri stockers 690 lbs., $15. 100, and the bulk of the other stock and feed ing steers, which were from Kansas and Missouri brought $13.75 to $15.75. A few heavy half fat steers brought $16.00. The market was quoted firm. Stock cows and heifers and stock cal yes were in fairly active demand.
 HOGS
 Though receipts were larger than on any Monday for some time past, the hog market was active, 10 to 15 cents higher at the outset and closed 25 cents higher. The top $19.80 was a new high record for the year and
