krEpING ro THE FRONT.

The Star from it's first issue has sought to keep to the front in every department, and it's latest innovation, while not of great moment as whole, yet is interesting. This is the install iation of what is known as Miller Feeder, or the "Iron Man" machine that, properly attached to a job press handles sheets of paper of various sizes and thickness, cards and even envelopes much more accurately and faster than can be done by human hands. Properly handled this equip ment will double the output of press, and do better work than can be done by the old methods. The Miller Feed CT means almost as much in advanc- ing press work in commercial printing as did the linotype to the tvpe-setting for newspapers.
 The Star is proud of it's fine plant, and month by month seeks means for improvement in efficiency, in cleanly, wholesome surroundings for the work CTS and in ali that tends toward per fectinn-that will O the wisp that is ever sought but never attained And here's something gratifying.
 Mir, R. R. Jackson, who spent four days with The Star in installing the new machine and in instrueting one of The Stars excellent workmen in it's operation, makes the following state ment:
 In making installations of Miller
 Feeders during almost two years,
 from Pittsburgh, Pa, to El Paso,
 Tex, and Chicago to New Orleans,
 I have naturally been called to the
 better class of printing offices, and
 I can state positively that the me
 chanical department of The Star is
 the best equipped, the best conduct
 ed and the cleanest l have visited.
 The next best were at Nation. Ind,
 and Fl Paso, Tex.
 That speaks pretty we'll for Mena as we'll as for The Star. for, after all, the paper and it's business can be no bet ter than it can be made by the support that is given it.
 It may be news to good many, too, to know that The Star, on it's merits, is drawing business from the larger cities to the north, south and east, and points in between.
 The Star extends a cordial invita- ton to it's friends and the public to visit the office and see the "Iron Man" and nthar modern eauipment in action.

INCREASES APPRECIATION.

AF Newspaper folks, very much like the ordinary run of human beings, are prone to be pleased wheu their efforts are appreciated, and sometimes they are.
 The following is a gratifying exam pie. and carries moral worth seeking by the wide-awake business man or concern:

Gentlemen On account of being ex- tra busy with heavy trade and talk ing inventory, we have been unable to answer your letter of the list. inst relative to our advertisement in the Cove Star" but we want to assure you that we appreciate very much the ads you gave us the past two weeks, they were better than we could have suggested. Our failure to send the first was an oversight. and we suppose the latter was mis- carried in the mails.
 The writer has had no experience in writing advertisements and finds it difficult to do so and any time you can give attention to our ads and change them in any way for us we will appreciate 1t very much. We are pleased to advise that the past year is the best, by far, we have ever had in the mercantile business, and we are quite sure that the advertising we have been doing thru the Cove Star has helped us in this, and. hope we can keep the good work going.
 Thanking you again for your as- iistance. we beg to remain,
 Yours very truly,

There are in Arkansas l2.125 school teachers, and there are few of them who are paid wages above those of a common laborer, to say nothing of coal miners, or even any ordinary branch of skilled labor This is going to mean more to the children of this generation than a lot of folks have yet considered. A man or woman with sufficient brains and education to make a successful teacher does not need to teach for lahorer's wages in order to make 8 living there are too many places in the world where such tal- ents pay more.

Governor Brough created quite a sensation the other day by saying that he had information that there was a great plot to destroy the United States government. It made such a stir that the governor later gave his authority as coming from "an official of high, rank" All well and good, so far as it goes. There is little doubt but there are many besides aliens, such as we deport occasionally, who would take hand in just such step, and even now are working on the sly to promote the enterprise. It is not new, but calls to mind the remarks of Mena business man a day or two ago, who emphatically declared that @the time had fully arrived when ev- cry man should be forced to take sides, for or against our flag and country. and then be treated accord ingly."
