NO CLIMATE IS PERFECT.
But Here Is 8 Pretty Good Descrip
 ton of the Mena Brand.

Robert D. Ward. professor of eli matology at Harvard university, has never been in Mena, but he must nave been thinking of our wonderful eli mate when he wrote the following:
 "A "good climate" is naturally one which is favorable to the develop ment of a sturdy race of men and women, physically strong and men tally alert.
 "There is a pretty general agree ment, among physicians, physiolo- gists and climatologists, that, except ing in the case of those who are dis tinctly ill, the best climate for most people and most of the time is one which has frequent moderate weather changes, fairly marked annual and daily variation in temperature a reasonable amount of cold during at least part of the year; a refreshing variety in the amount of cloudiness and sufficient rainfall to provide enough moisture for the growth of grasses and crops.
 "A climate which encourages people to spend the maximum possible amount of their time outdoors, in the open air, is, other things being equal the best for the majority of men and women.
 There is no such thing as "per- feet" climate. Every climate has disagreeabIe features. Health resorts are never equally desirable at all seasons

LEGION BOYS PUT
 ON CLEVER BOUTS
Entertained Big Gathering With Ath- letic Exhibitions of Merit-FOur Contests and Wrestling
 Match.

Members of the American Legion held open house at their hall Friday night and entertained big gathering
 of both sexes with an athletic pro- gram of merit. Four boxing bouts and one wrestling match were in- cluded on the card and all were en- joyed by the fans gathered at the ringside. Interest centered in the
 between Harold Daniels and Frank Philpot and the one in which John Norman Harrington starred. The
 Daniels-P -Philpot bout brought to- gether two young men who are well known for their physical development. Young Daniels is splendid specimen of physical manhood and shows the evidence of the training Uncle Sam gave the lads in the service. Young
 Philpot, while not so well developed physically, possesses one necessary trait to success, and that is courage. In addition he is fast on his feet. He used the combination to good effect and the exhibition he and Daniels gave, was one of the best ever seen at Legion hall, tho it was the first appearance of both young men. In the bout between Colonel Driscoll and Dummy" Harrington the crowd saw the difference between two strong men, one highly skilled in boxing and the other not so skillful. It was a clever exhibition and one highly ap- preciated by the audience. Other boxing bouts included a sparring match between Gwen Parker and Frank Reeves and a lively setto be- tween two small lads, Parker and FL liott. Odie Bates ard Charles Bates wrestled for one fall. Referee Picchi ending the match when the first named hurt an arm.
