Used Phone for Long Talk.

A record for long distance conver- sation is believed to have been made at the Mena office of the Southwestern Bell Friday evening, when Claude Will liford talked with his brother, Alvah Williford, at Freeport, III. Tho they were talking over nearly 1000 miles of wire, MT. Williford said that he could hear his brother distinctly. The Mena man used the long distance phone to extend Christmas greetings to his parents and was more than pleased to get reply from his broth CT, who has only recently returned from an extended sojourn in China.

RAIN. COLD. SUNSHINE
Polk County on Friday Felt Second
 C0ldest Day of Winter.

A drop in temperature from 63 de- grees to 2S in Mena Friday night gave the homefolks touch of near winter that felt worse than it really was. Along with the chill north wind that came over the mountains was a heavy shower of rain with considerable lightning and thunder. Saturday was bright and clear but it made Mena folks put on their winter wraps.

Farm ii1oome. ... .z Buying power. .zzzzlSvM

Since the current year, thus far, eer- talnly has been no more favorable to the farmer than was 1920, we may gain from the plight of these Indiana farmers a fairly good idea of the plight of the American farmer at large. It should be born in mind in thiS connection that the above com parisons are drawn on the basis of wholesale prices, that the farmer cus- tomarlly buys at retail and sells at wholesale, and that retail prices are still relatively very much higher than wholesale prices. It is also important to note that, tho wholesale prices have fallen since 1920, the prices of farm products have fallen much more than those of other commodities. With these facts in view, it is clear that we have not shown the condition of these Indiana Farmers in its worst possible aspect. Some farmers have doubtless done better in the past year and half than have these men; many, especially n she South, certainly have not done so well, On the whole, think we may say that the above is a conservative statement of a representative situa- ton.
 Is t possible to glean any comfort from such situation?
 From the strictly economic stand point # takes very close study of the price curves, and perhaps a bias to- wnrd cptimism, to detect signs of in rrovement, but fl begins to look as tho the Farm price curve has dipped az low as Il is going on this swing.

BARN ANp FEED BURNEp
Careless Hunters Blamed for Costly
 Fire on DeL0ngy Farm.

Word was received in Mena Fri dya that the big barn on the DeLongy farm west of Mena had been burned to the ground that morning. The cause of the fire is ascribed to care less hunters. The barn was one of the largest in Polk county and was used as dairy barn some years ago when the late Dr. F. E. De Longy started a herd of milkers. A. s. Hill and family lived on the place and were success full in saving all the stock in the barn save one horse. A large amount of feed was lost.

klamath Rate
Hearing Opens

San Francisco, July 13. - A
hearing on protests the freight
rates between Portland and points
in klamath county, Oregon, are
too high was held here today be-
fore Clyde B. Achison, interstate
commerce commissioner. Fred A.
Williams, president of the Oregon
state public service commission
said that the desire is to equalize
the rates between Portland and
klamath points and San Francis
co and these same points.
Williams said that all freight
moving into the klamath country
from Portland and adjacent points
must come into California as far
as Weed. forty miles below the
Oregon line, and it is then taken
back to its destination. This makes
1t much longer haul than from
San Francisco to klamath points
with a consequent difference in
freight rates, he said.
E. B. Hall. president of the
klamath county chamber of COM
merce; w. c. McCulloch and ]. H,
Lothrop, Of the Portland traffic
and transportation association
and Hal F. Virgins, traffic expert
for the Oregon public service cor.
poration, were present to testify al
the hearing.

S Need
Is Social Work
Says Verrnilya

The most vital need Of the
church of today is to realize its
responsibilities and possibilities in
social service, according to DR..
Charles X. Vermilya, superintend-
ent of the department of frontier
work of the Methodist church, who
is in Salem in connection with the
school for rural and city pastors at
Willamette university.
DR.. Vermilya is here to give
courses in evangelism. He has
been superintendent of work in
which he is now engaged for the
past eight months, with a terri
tory including IL of the western
states. Before taking his present
position he was for years district
superintendent of the Methodist
church.
Put in the whirlwind of enthus-
iasm for the new movement there
is a danger, he said, of losing
sight of the devotional and relig-
ious life which is the potential
fundamental to keeping alive the
zeal for such work. There must
be some driving force back of all
this endeavor for community bet
terment, and that force is found in
the spirit of Christ. Religion is
the product of the energizing in
fluence Of the Divine Spirit on the
human. The human soul thus
motivated goes forth to live out
the Christ-like ideas and finds
ways and means of applying prin-
ciples of righteousness"
Emotionalism is an important
factor in evangelism. he stated.

Teachers May
Conduct More
Classes Here

Dismissal of the physical train
ing instructor, discontinuance of
the practice of using the Y. M. C.
A. for physical training work. re-
tention of the manual training de-
partments in the junior high
schools, and dismissal of the
school physician and nurse, were
among the commentator made
to the school board at it's meeting
last night by George w. Hug, city
superintendent.
Mr.. Hugs recommendations
were made with a view to slash
ing the budget to a point where
the board may keep within it's al
lowance.
A change from the present 70
minute periods to one hour class
es also was suggested by Mr.. Hug.
This would make it necessary for
teachers to conduct five periods
daily instead of four. Two super
visors may also be dismissed from
the schools.
All of the recommendations
made by Mr.. Hug will be consid-
cred by the board at it's next meet
ing.
George e. Halvorsen, chairman
of the board, last night appointed
three standing committees. They
follow:
Finance-Walter Winslow and
Paul B. Wallace; building and
