AN ERROR sTTRS STAR READERS
Omission of Small Word Aroused
 Poultry Raisers.

That Mena and Polk county are interested in chickens and other forms of poultry is evidenced by the inter- est they have shown in a recent ar ticle published in The Star. By written word and word of mouth readers of the paper have expressed divers views on an article in question, which simply called attention to the number of eggs marketed by farm CT living in the west part of the coun- ty. In the article the omission of a single word caused wrong impress sion to be given. The article stated that the farmer in question marketed so dozen eggs, the weeks product of flock in about" 100 hens. There should have been another about" in this statement and it should have been used in connection with the phrase weeks product" Those who are familiar with local conditions know that the word "about" conveys no exact meaning, being intended where entirely specific or definite fig ures are not available. Thus if the article had stated the so dozen of NSSo WNit dDOul litc week pro- duct of about" 100 hens, the seek CTS after exact information would not have been confused and would not have taken the figures literally. One Star reader who did, forwards com munication in which she calls atten- tion to the fact there are 960 eggs in so dozen and days in a week. Grant ing that every hen laid an egg every day, which IS an unusually good re- cord, this young lady figures there were 260 eggs unaccounted for, un. less some of the hens laid more than one egg day. She further states
 There must have been something extra in the feed given to those hens producing more than one egg per day, and l would certainly like to find the secret, as l am very much interested m poultry" In answer to this in- quirer as we'll as to others, The Star desires to say there has been no mir acie performed and that there is no wonderful secret of feeding involved The answer is all contained in the in- depreciation of the one word about which was unintentionally omitted rom the original story.

TORRENTS OF RAIN
 FLOODED STREETS
Exceptionally Heavy Downpour for About an Hour Was Inconvenient to Many, but Did Small Damage
 Settled Highway Gravel.

An exceptionally heavy fall of rain visited Mena Friday afternoon and for awhile the downpour of moisture was credited by many with being the heaviest remembered for the short length of time. The official record for the wet afternoon was a rainfall of 1.72 inches, most of which fell in less than an hours time, starting about 2:30 and ending shortly after 3 o'clock. Accompanying the rain at
 it's heaviest was considerable hail, but not enough to seriously damage anything.
 While it was at it's worst the down. fall of water was of such volume as
 to tax the capacity of local drains and to prove the inadequacy of many
 in the business district. Damage done by the overflow was slight, but the inconvenience and annoyance was considerable.
 The new Kansas City Southern sta tion was an island for a time. Water which flowed down Seventh street turned on Pickering and added to the flood already on Mena street. For awhile the continued rise ill pent up waters on DeQueen street threatened to get inside the new station, but it did not reach that height. The water that accumulated on Mena street was forced nigh enough to flow over the
 rails and ties and prevent passen- gers from getting onto the platform from the east end.
 The Mena Cafe was also a victim of water that backed up in the alley
 between Mena and DeQueen streets,
 and at the Coca-Cola Bottling works sand Sims Lunch room were also | flooded by back water from the same alley.
 At the Duke-Magruder's store clerks were kept busy at the back door sweeping out the waters forced across the street by faulty drainage ditch on Maple avenue.
 The heavy rainfall helped settle the rolled portions of the gravel on the Janssen avenue section of the Jeffer- son highway, but also proved how faulty drainage can hurt. In several
 places on the avenue between Mena street and Ninth streets, drains failed
 to carry off the waters with the re- suit that in spots the newly made
 roadway was flooded. The damage done to the hard surfacing was almost nil, but the drainage will have to be
 improved or different result be had
 next time. Most of the drains that
 were at fault were those the city
 authorities are supposed to look after.
 Reports from the country districts
 lying west, south and east of Mena are to the effect the storm was more
 severe in the city than in the rural districts. No damage of consequence was reported from the country.

WATCH OUT FOR TROUBLE JULY 1
All National Agreements Defining Working Conditions for Railroad Employees Ordered Abrogated by
 U. S. Labor Board

Chicago, April 14.-National agree ments defining working conditions for employees on all American railroads formerly under the federal railroad administration were today ordered abrogated, effective July l. 1921. by the United States railroad labor board.
 The board called upon the officers and system organizations of em- ployes of each railroad to select rep resentatives to confer and to decide" as much of the rules controversy as possible. Such conferences shall be- gin at the earliest possible date" the decision said.
 While the decision did not specifi- eally say so, members of the board said that all disputes as to rules and working conditions automatically were referred to individual conferences be- tween each individual road and its em- ployes. This method of procedure had been sought by railroads, whereas the labor side had favored national con- ference between representatives of all roads and all unions.
 The decision affected all raidroad employees except those in train ser- vice who are under separate agree ments between the individual rail- roads and the four big brotherhoods. In connection with the conference negotiations, the board laid down set of 16 principles which are to serve as foundation for any rules which may be agreed to in the conference. The present general rules hearing before the labor board, which has been in progress since January 10, will con- tinue until both sides have completed their testimony, following such rules as it determines just and reasonable as soon after July l, 1921, as is reas- onably possible and will make them effective as of July 1, 1921"
 The sixteen principles outlined by the board were drawn up by Henry T. Hunt of the public group and upheld the right of the employees to negotiate 1 thru representatives of their own choosing, the right of seniority and the principles of the eight-hour day. Ii was specified that eight hours work must be given for eight hours pay Espionage should not be practiced by either side, the decision said, and employees representatives should have the right to make any rules applying to all employees in the craft or class of | the representatives.

 One man told me few days ago that he was poorer now than he was when he started 25 years ago tc raise cotton. On the other hand we are told that the average income for farmers in the United States is less than one thousand dollars per year Both statements taken together would lead one to believe that farming was not the most inviting business to 20 into.
 One farmer in Montgomery county IS milking twenty cows and feeding a few pigs and raising truck. Last year his income after paying all his expenses netted him better than SIS per week. His farm is less than l4O acres.
 Farmers in Dallas county. where dairying is conducted on larger scale are more prosperous today than tanners of the south. Of coursein south.

ARMS FOR MENA POsTOFFIcE.
Postmaster Allen Receives Notice
 That Revolvers Are On Way.

A"ot NCfoiFefS Are On way.
 Tho it is not the intention of Post master Bob Allen to demand that pa- irons of the office give the counter sign when they come after their mail, nor to post sentries around the build ing, yet the postal workers will carry arms and may have to endure mili- tary drill if the worst gets any worser. All of which is due to an order re- celyed Monday morning from the P. Al. G. at Washington, stating that a ease of 45-calibre revolvers were on their way to the Mena postofiice for the arming of local employees. The shipment of arms is believed to be part of the last postal ruling to have all employees in the department who are liable to attack from robbers 20 armed. Just how many six-guns are coming Postmaster Allen doesn't know, but he does know they're on their way.
