PIG CHASE DREW BIG CROWD.
Mrs. Ada Stapp Quickly Caught One,
 Ralph Campbell the Other.


 That women can catch pig as well as mere man was proven beyond doubt Saturday afternoon when the pig chase advertised by the Duke Magruder Company was held on Mena street. True, the members of the newly voting sex didn't grab the porker in quite so short period of time as did the male persons, but they got Mir. Pig all right.
 There were dozen or more in the race where skirts were worn, and in less time than it takes to tell it, the young piglet was surrounded on all sides by the excited feminines. To the innocent bystander it looked like ali the women got hold on the. pig at the same time, and from the amount of squeaIing he did, it is certain they did. The judges strengthened out the skirts and released enough of the fair participants to decide that Mrs. Ada Stapp, living on Rout 1, was entitled to the pig. She was given an extra $5 by the Duke Magruder company.
 In the male race the competition was limited to boys only There was such mob of young pig catchers in at the finish it was difficult to decide just which one really had the best hold, but the official decision was in favor of Ralph Campbell, living at Rocky.
 As drawer of crowds the pigs did better than the poultry, for there were many more contestants for the two pigs than there were for the quartet of turkeys.
 Another of the giye-away features cf the sale at the Duke -Magrudef store Saturday was the giving away of fifty boxes containing merchandise Since the sale opened the big store has received mail orders from Louisi- ana, Texas, Oklahoma. Missouri and Arizona. At the request of Mena patron, President Fred Duke has mailed circular to Belfast, Ireland, and is confident an order will be re- eeyad from the Emerald Isle.

This Is Estimate of P, S. Bouton. Who

Peaches are a total less north of the Arkansas river, other sections having about 40 of a crop.
 Mir. Bouton reads with care most of the county papers of Arkansas and stated that of all he gave The Mena Weekly Star the rank of 1000 per cent for general useful information found therein.

CITY IMPROVEMENT
 ON 4 SOLD BASIS
Such Is Purpose Indicated by Council in Stopping of Flimsy Street Work New Ordinances for Sanitation
 Speeding Regulations.

A real progressive step toward permanent street improvements Il Mena was taken at special meeting of the city council held Monday night According to the plans formulated henceforth Mena is to have no more wooden culverts, and will forever stoT Che folly of trying to make dirt roads
 The street and alley committee was directed to complete arrangements with County Judge Finger for the se- curing of concrete mixer, rock crushcr and other material that car be had from the state highway de. partment for the asking. The commit tee was also authorized to get dump bed for the eity's big truck and steel molds for the making of concrete cul- vert pipe.
 Alderman w. A. Wilson, whose pledge has been given for permanent street improvement work, brought up the matter. He told the councilmen that he had investigated the matter of making concrete culvert pipe and had learned the city could make them much cheaper than they could be bought. This is due, he explained, to the fact that the city can utilize the homemade crushed rock, home made forms and home labor.
 The city has tractor to operate the rock crusher, which is owned by the county, but which Judge Finger will permit the city to use, and has the truck in which to haul the crushed rock, when new bed is put on the truck to permit more economical hand ling. A concrete mixer is needed and sand and cement will have to be bought. The mixer can be secured from the stock of war material now on hand at Little Rock and Alderman Wilson was authorized to arrange with Judge Finger to secure one.
 Under the arrangement proposed Mena will secure much better culverts than Is now possible thru the building of wooden ones, and the cost will not exceed the present expenditures. The crushed rock can also be used in re- pairing strets and making crossings Systematieai Trash Removal, , The council also passed new or dinance affecting the sanitary condi- tions of the city. The new regulatory measure provides for systematic re- moval of cans, trash and other waste materials by the city seavenger, for which service householders will be re- quired to pay 10 cents each month, which is a mighty low price when the value of the service is considered.
 While considering the sanitary problem the council declined to take a hand in the controversy between the boara If health and owners of local s'~r~hter houses. Acting Mayor 0l- ney s.4.x as hn council had no authority to act in this matter at all
 Chief of Police Hungate was di- restea 10 ret signs prepared calling at tentinn to the speed limits on the paved streets of Mena The signs are expectr t be ready to be put up on Janssen avenue. Meua street and Reina tfeet and Port Arthur avenue in few days and if speedeFs fail to take heed arrests are 10 follow
 The council also authorized the pay ment of elaims from election officials al the last municipal election.

Pole McPhetrige Wants to Know.

Having so successfully found a name for strange fish that appeared in Southside store this week, Col. Pole McPhetrige has asked for the aid of The Star in matter that is eaus- ing him more or less mental strain. The local attorney, in addition to his legal work, is also interested in the tilling of the soil, and the different plants that are suitable for growing in this cline. Of late he has been observing the habits of a patch of suntlowers that grow on his suburban place, and he finds that they are per- forming each day a movement that has never been fully explained. In other words Col. Pole wants to know why the sunfiower turns from the east in the morning toward the west m the evening. He believes there is some scientific secret in this motion and he wants to know what it is.
