then commenced the call for fuel for
other institutions, Montpelier seminary
did not have enough to heat its build
ing this week so some was loaned to
it. The high school has not enough
coal to carry very long and will need
help, while the Lane company will shut
down this week unless they get some.
The city loaned them 10 tons, while
the creamery is also about out and q
little was loaned that concern. All of
these have coal in transit. The hard
coal conditions seem to be improving,
although there is not yet enough in
sight to take care of all demands unless
il is handled in small deliveries.

GOT ANOTHER BIG TRUCK.
Judge Finger Makes Trip to Little
Rock Profitable.

At the request of Sheriff j. A.
Thornton, Judge H. w. Finger took
c. w. Jones, adjudged insane, to the
asylum at Little Rock, and Judge
Finger, not overlooking any chance
to do something for his home county,
decided to make an effort to secure
more equipment for working and
building roads. With this in mind
he visited w. B. Owens. the highway
commissioner, and asked for another
OF the new Quad" trucks that are
being used so successfully as power
for working roads. The request was
granted, and the truck will soon
reach Mena, being driven by George
Emerson. This last truck, however,
is allotted solely for use in road inf
provement districts.
Judge Finger also placed a request
for rock crusher and another grad
ef. and while there is none available
at this time, should one OF both be-
come available, as is expected. Polk
county stands at the top of the list
and viii get the machine or machines.

MAY RESTRAIN HOGS.
Seems to BE Growing Desire Among
Farmers to Have Stock Law.

Seems to BE Growing Desire Among
Farmers to Have Stock Law.
One Of the important topic of dis
cussion wherever two or more farm
ers meet nowadays is the question Of
a stock law for Polk county. Il is
possible that the question will be SUBJ
mitted to vote of the people at the
coming election, should the present in
terest develop into real demand for
the legislation. Two years ago the
proposition to put the stock law into
effect was defeated. there being a gen
eral misunderstanding at the time il
Is said, over the kinds of stock af-
tected. From statements made bv
farmers who have visited Mena lately
the kind Of stock law most favored Il
one that will prevent the running at
large of hogs. There does not seem
to be the demand for cattle being re.
strained as there is for hogs.

Editor on an Outing.

The editor of The Star, accompan-
led by his daughter, Miss Lorraine
St. John. spent Saturday night and
Sunday on an outing that both will
long remember.
Accepting an invitation of little less
than ten years standing, the writer
and daughter drove out to the home of
Mr.. and Mrs. j. C. Hauerwas, located
well toward the upper end Of Posey
Hollow, just 16 miles from Mena. Or
arrival the visitors were greeted in
the best Polk county style. and from
that moment were made to feel al
home in the truest sense.
This home is known as the Hauziel
farm, and it has for several years
been truly noted for the quantity and
most particularly the quality Of it,

Of canned fruits and vegetables anc

the end. however, these things serve
as their own lessons and bring about
their own cure.

WE WAIK Am Sc.

Every time we walk around this
town we see something's where
there should be something's some
thing that we should not see.
Sometimes it is fresh coat Of
paint which has transformed rusty
looking house into one of beauty.
Then it may be that new fence has
replaced broken one, indicating en-
ergy and taste on the part of the
owner.
Or lawn with flowers and shrub
berry may be radiating its atmosphere
of cheer to those who pass by.
1t may be the happiness of children
as they romp and play, unmindful Of
the future trials which life has in
store for them.
1t may be any one of hundred
things which commend themselves t.
our admiration. for this is gooC
town, and. it has many good people
and it is a good place to live.
Always there is something to see
something to indicate that other
brains and other hands are busy in
clarifying the place they call home.
Then again, we see what we don't
like to see
We see a splendid vacant lot upor
which building should stand, and ii
that building there should be new peo-
pie to add to our happy circle.
We see vacant patches of ground
which should have produced garden
stuff for the table--but did not.
We see streets which should be inn
proved. and alleys which should be
cleaned, and other things which should
be done-but are not.
We see citizens passing our public
school without glance or thought
of the degree or value Of work to be
done therein.
We see them passing a church with
an air of indifference.
We see these and many more--the
good, the Indifferent, and the bad.
And sometimes we see things of
which we will not speak--the story
of which is better left untold-for
human nature at best is frail. and the
scars accumulated in the journey Of
life seldom fade
We see much of which we say but
little.

unused to country life and unframed
in its labors. and The Star hopes one
day to have story of their struggles,
failures and successes. If it gets
this it will be worth reading.
One little item KS especially inter-
esting. When President Wilson, early
in the war. called upon the whole ma
ton to produce and save food that
the war might be won, this couple, al
most without help save their own
hands, grew and put up for market
more than seven thousand cans Of ex-
cellent food, besides making butter
every week. In the beginning they
had to seek and search for a market,
now the market seeks them out and
by no means within their power can
they supply the demands.
After a fine visit and nights rest
among the beautiful forest trees and
in sight Of great mountain, a
morning was spent in loking about
over the well-kept place, and then all
drove to the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
John Combs, where a bounteous din
ner had been provided. Here. too,
were evidences Of health and the OPP
portunities provided by nature for
those who seek by industry to secure
them. After the dinner and couple
of hours Of happy associations, Mrs.
Combs presided over watermelon
feast and then loaded the car with
a lot of fine ones for the boys and
girls who work in The Star and the
trip homeward began and ended all
too soon.
Aside from the joy of the visits
among such friends, an outstanding
thought persists:
To reach market with their products
or to come to twon to mingle with
friends, or to get other advantages of
the city, these people must spend
from four to six hours in either COM
ing or going. If they could have even
IalflN good all tne year IoduS ~
would be an easy matter with pep
ular gas wagon to come to town in
the morning, market and shop and be
home for dinner, or drive in after sup
per, visit or go to the movies and be
back home by late bedtime.
And these people, looking to the day
when others will come from them in
taking advantage of the soil, water,
climate and health of Posey Hollow,
believe they will before long be able
to have the better roads and all the
good things they will bring.

NEXT ELECTION DAY"

Why all the turmoil, all the strife
And all the campaign sway;
And lies twice-told if truth be unfold
In thought of election day.
Why if you'd take the second thought
The price that you viii pay
Is not worth Office thus usurped
On next election day.
OF course a clean race true as blue
Tho opponents in the way,
win be the best, you'll beat the rest,
On next election day.
Pat your contestant on the back
Don't sing always in the Way"
He'll treat you fair, if you are square
On next election day.
