MAKING LAND WORTH MONEY.
An Illustration of What Blackberries
Might Be Made TO Do.

The Star has received by parcel
post from the Pines Plantation, Hat
field, three boxes of berries, that were
of more than usual interest. They
were the Lucretia dewberries, the
Early Harvest blackberry, and the
Mcdonald blackberry, the result of
cross between the first two.
James A. Slote. who grew this fruit.
says of the Mcdonald berry:
They first ripened' May "a, and will
make rather poor land worth 800
to 5000 per acre"
Speaking of the Early Harvest, Mr..
Slote says
THE Early Harvest are wonder
fully loaded and will produce from
one to two gallons on each stalk,
some perhaps more this season."
These berries were very fine and,
with the addition of small amount
of sugar and cream, certainly were
right for any lover of fruit.
1t comes so slowly, Mr.. Slote, but
it will not always be that SO many
of our own people, and thousands of
others, will overlook the opportuni-
ties that are here for turning rather
poor land into values of 800 to $500
per acre,

OFFERS 5000 FOR NEW PARK.
John j. Tootle of ST. Joseph, Submits
Attractive Suggestion.

Mena ought to have more citizens
of the type of John ]. Tootle of St.
Joseph, Mo-, who returned to his home
Thursday after spending several days
looking after his country estate on the
Cossatot. Mr. Tootle is a wealthy
man and is a great .admirer of the
wonderful scenic beauty, the ideal eli
mate and the beautiful water to be
FOUND in Mena and vicinity. He be-
lieves that the country should be the
home country of that class of people
who are thru business and want a
beautiful and healthful place to live
As such he is boosting at every OPP
portunity He thinks Athat Mena
should to more to attract this class
of people to this section and as one of
the ways of doing this has suggested
that the city build small park in the
vicinity of the new passenger depot.
Such beauty spot he believes would
not only make favorable impression
on the visits stranger, but would
also attract attention from passengers
on the trains, causing them to m
quire more into the possibilities of
Mena. Mr.. Tootle offered to be one
of twenty men to give 5000 for the
establishment of such a park. He ex-
poets to return to Mena in September,
but is willing to make the donation
for park purposes at any time.

A MIXTURE IN NAMES
In the Numerous Bates Family Are
Several With Same Initials.


The question came up at a recent
public meeting as to the signature of
J. c. Bates on the petition for the Big
Fork highway. The fact that one j.
G. Bates, well known citizen of Big
Fork, had died before this petition
was circulated, caused some to think
that the name was wrongfully on the
petition.
The facts are that J. c. Bates of
Mena, a second cousin of the deceased,
is the man who signed, and his sigma
ure carries with it several thousands
of dollars in real estate. There are
facts, one to correct the error some
had unwittingly made, and the other
because John particularly wants it
known he signed the petition, and
knows, from his own experience that
even the prospect of the road has done
much for him in increase of property
values.
One. more item of interest is in the
name of S. E. Bates. This chances to
be the name of the wife of Stephen
Bates, one of the best known farmers
in the Big Fork country, and Mr..
Bates was sure his wife had not sign
ed. 1t is another case of duplication
of names. Mrs. S. Z. Bates, the sign
er, lives at 100 Fourth Street, Mena,
mother of John c., I. R., H. B., and
Charlie Bates of Mena. and other chill
dren elsewhere, including Stephen
Bates of De Queen. This Mrs. Bates
owns property in the road district.
