They were on a heavy feed for only month; aver aged a gain of 21k pounds daily, and were only 2 months, 10 days old, when sold"
 Mir. Wing profited by the advice of Dr. LeGear, Graduate Veterinarian and Expert Poultry Breeder of 28 years standing.
 Dr. LeGear's Hog Prescription will put weight on yo.-- hogs also. be- cause it expels worms, purifies the blood and conditions them so that they gain flesh on less feed.

pensers of good cheer of the evening. He not only favored the gathering with several, songs, but when called upon to speak responded with some Arkansas experiences of an early day that brought smiles to everyone. Speaking seriously, the railroad head said that the people in this section had a wonderful opportunity to provide many different kinds of food needed by the residents of Kansas City and other large municipalities. He laid down as two things for Mena residents to do, first to get the city out of the mud and second to brighten up and beauti- ty, referring especially to unsightly buildings near the new station, which, he said, would tend to cause visitors to think Mena has less pride than the railroad.
 Hal Norw0od Capped the Evening.
 Last on the program came Mena's own inimitable humorist, Hal Nor wood, who added to an evening all ready overflowing with good cheer, by some choice contributions of his own. The local attorney mixed with humor- ous anecdotes some nice compliments TOT the hanSaS 1lty southern Tali- road and his remarks came as fitting finale to the evening. MT. Norwood told what the railroad had done for Mena in the way of bringing different kinds of business and better homes and schools to the city. He spoke of the early days of the railroad and praised the spirit that carried it's builders on in spite of the handicaps and difficulties they experienced.
 During the banquet excellent music was provided, both instrumental and vocal, by Mir. and Mrs. Claude Will- ford, Miss Willimina Pipkin, ]. W Gardner, Jr., and Hubert Smith,
 A special vote of thanks was given the hotel management for the splendid menu and service provided.
