MENA CITY WATER
 IS "COODAND SAFE"
Dr. Vim. F. Manglesdorf of Little Rock Makes Report on Analysis Will Drink Freely of Water
 Whenever in Mena."

At the suggestion of Dr. B. H. Haw- kins and other Mena physicians, W. L. Abney, superintendent of Mena's $ waterworks, recently sent a sample of water to pr. Wm. F. Manglesdorf, chemist, Little Rock, Ark, for andy sis, the purpose being to ascertain if from any cause it might not be fully wholesome. The sample was taken soon after big rain when it was not entirely clear, nor at it's best. The result is most gratifying, the water being pronounced "good and safe,'i and the doctor announcing that he twill drink freely of the water when ever 1 am in Mena."
 The letter and findings from the analysis follow:
 DR. VIM. F. MANGLESDORF
 CHEMIST
 Little Rock, Ark, August 2, 1921. Mir. w. l.. Abney, Supt., Mena, Ark.
 Dear Sir: Enclosed please find re- port on water samples submitted. From the analysis it is my opinion that you have a good and safe water. It is very low in either mineral or organic matter. The bacterioligic ex- animation shows a slight gas produc- tion in 10 cubic eentimeters of sam pie, but is is very likely that this is caused from the presence of some wild animals on the reservation. can find no evidence whatever of ty- phoid bacteria. At any rate I will drink freely of the water whenever 1 am in Mena.
 Very truly yours, (Signed) Wm. F. Manglesdorf.

TOPOGRAPHIC CHART is THE RIGHT KIND

ana sold to make money Tho
maps that / speak of are the best
that science can produce and are
admirable examples of the results
that can be reached when the OBJ
ject in view is not commercial
profit, but the production of things
OF the highest attainable excel
lence, with the, least possible cost
to the users. OF course, only a
government is able to do a thing
like that. but 1t is mighty encour-
aging to see 1t done once in a
while.
You can understand the differ
ence between a geological survey
map and an ordinary map only
after you have compared corre-
spending specimens OF each. You
Will also need, perhaps, little
education in the use OF the Gov
eminent maps But II is an edu-
cation very easily acquired. You
can learn it all in twenty minutes.
You must teach yourself to see
the map in three dimensions. On
the paper II is fiat. but to your
minds eye IL will soon appear like
a birdseye view of the place or
region that IT covers. only far more
correct and comprehensive in it's
details than birdseye view. 1t
owes this quality to the system of
contour lines.
When you compare one of these
maps with some part of the coun-
try with which you are familiar
you will wonder how the surveyors
were able so to at their lines to the
actual contour of the land. Many
a time when riding in the Eastern
and Middle States have found that
the geological survey map carried
on my knee told me of hills and
valleys, of steep pitches and long
levels lying beyond the horizon with
fidelity that astonished me.
] thank Uncle Sam for this pleas
ure. But for his paternal fore
sight there would have been no such
maps In existence. Nobody but he
could have afforded to pay for hav-
ing them made.

they are based. Their price is only
nominal, and anybody can have
them for a few cents apiece by
