was appointed to Mena. He has worked wonders. In a town of 3,700 he has added 300 members and now has nearly 300 members. The church debt has been paid, the building inn proved and a nice parsonage pur- chased. His people are urgent in their demand that he should return for a fifth year. Sunday visited the good Sunday school and was shown around by Superintendent Mark P. Olney. At II o'clock l had the pleas ure of preaching to a capacity con- gregation and greatly enjoyed the ex- perience. With the fine town, salu- brious climate, scenic surroundings, and responsive membership, Mena station offers many attractions to the
 ambitious pastor, and too much credit cannot be accorded Bro. Harrell for his faithful efforts in bringing things to pass. The Little Rock conference should meet there in the near future.

PLAN EARLY TEST
 OF OIL RESOURCES
Negotiations Now Under Way Give Hope That 1922 Will See Test Made Near Mena by Experienced
 Oil Drillers.

Plans are under way for an early test of the oil possibilities of Mena and vicinity, and the coming of 1922 is expected to sec actual drilling in Polk county.
 Negotiations carried on between j. E. Adams, an experienced oil man of Wichita Falls. Tex, and local men in- terested in oil development have reached a most encouraging point. Mir. Adams was in Mena this week, and for the second time made a minute ln- vestigation of local oil possibilities. This was the second visit made to Mena by Mir. Adams and in between his trips was one made by G. B. Kay mond, who is associated with hlm m oil development.
 There are many in Mena and viein- ity who strongly believe oil is to be found in Polk county. These believ- CTS have put time and money in an ef- fort to prove their contentious are correct but not until the present have their hopes for a test been so near realization.
 Mir. Adams, who came here at the invitation of D. w. Gregory, is now drilling a we'll near Tuckerman, Ark, and expects to complete it soon While in Mena this week he stated that he hoped to be ready after the next fir teen or thirty days to take up the mat ter of drilling a test hole somewhere in the vicinity of Mena. He was taken out over the country west and south west of Mena and was most favorably impressed, finding the structure to be of the kind that encourages drilling.
 The Wichita Falls man owns two drilling rigs and has good record in the Texas fields where known, His associate, Mir. Raymond, who also vis- tied the local field, is secretary y-nan- ager of the Chamber of Commerce at E Wichita Falls, and is a business man of ability. Mir. Raymond after study of the geological formations in the Mountain Fork country between Rocky and Hatfield, was impressed with the possibilities of oil development, and like others is of the opinion the liquid gold is to be found at no great depth.
 Oil men consider a shallow we'll the most valuable even tho it doesn't de- velop the greatest gushers. Mir. Greg ory, who is mainly responsible for the N.s of the Wichita Falls men, has bee1 in Mena for the past year and has be,a quietly working to secure acreage and to interest landowners in the de- velopment of oil resources. He be- lieves oil is to be found here and also gas, either of which would bring won- derful wealth.
 In the meanwhile Mir. Adams is arr ranging to bring his family to Mena. The Texas man was impressed with the advantages of Mena as a place of residence and whether he drills an oil well or not, he wants his loved ones in a good, healthful climate.

|DR. MILLER TELLS
 OF VISIT ID MENA
Noted Divine and Head of Methodist Assembly Committee Appreciates Our Advantages and Spirit
 Proud of Mena Church.

Dr. A. c. Millar, editor of the Ar kansas Methodist and chairman of the committee that will probably late in January, 1921, select the location for the great Western Assembly of the Methodist church, South, following his recent visit to Mena, comments as follows in his paper:
 A SUNDAY AT MENA.
 During his pastorate at Mena Rev. F. F. Harrell has often invited the editor to visit his charge, but sundry hindrances have prevented until re- gently. At Fayetteville representa- tives of the Mena Commercial Club came before the Western Assembly Commission and asked for a hearing. They were not quite ready to submit proposition, because they did not fully understand the requirements. In correspondence they have urged me to give them a day, and I at last found that l could stop off on my re- turn from the Texas conference at Beaumont. Accordingly l arrived at 1 p. m. Saturday, November 19, and was met by committee and carried In a car to the heights back of the town where the outlook is fine. Here zOO feet above the town is the stand pipe which Is filled by gravity from an arteslan well several hundred feet higher. This water supply is pure and abundant and the expense is small. Climbing on foot to an elevation of 1900 or 2,000 feet, we had a view of the hills and valley for twenty to fifty miles. 1t is a wonderfully beau tlful scene. The National Forest run ming back for miles on Rich Mountain provides a charming background. The site offered lies between the railroad and the National Forest and the town, and combines many attractive features.
 At night there was sumptuous banquet at the AntIers hotel, and the possibilities of the situation were frankly and fully canvassed. After understanding the requirements the leaders announced that Mena would definitely enter the race for the As sembiy, and that a good proposition would be submitted.
 When the railroad shops were moved some years ago, it was SUD- posed that Mena would retrograde The management of the Kansas City Southern, however, did a remarkable thing saved their employes from loss by buying their homes Then the citizens resolved to improve their town and win in spite of adverse fate. They put in water works, beau tined theIr park, paved their streets ana went after more people and more business. They succeeded. and today Mena IS bigger and better than ever before. It has become a popular summer home for people from the lower and hotter levels, and the country around is filling up with small farmers. 4 system Of iine highways Is under construction.

ELKS HONOR MEMBERS WHO
 HAVE CROSSED THE BAR
Feature of Annual Memorial Day Ex- ercises of IOdgemen Was Ad-
 dress by Fred J. Smith.


 Honor the dead by helping the hy- ing" was the keynote of the address delivered Sunday afternoon at the an- nual Memorial Day exercises of the Mena lodge of Elks. The speaker was Fred J. Smith, secretary of the Mena Commercial Club and in the course of a most interesting talk he gave the assemblage some thoughts that will not soon be forgotten. Pre- eeding his address with the reading of the 90th Psalms, passages peculiarly apt for the afternoons exercises, Secretary Smith spoke of two his torlc memorial services that have been held ii recent years. These oe- caslon were used as a basis for the presentation of some clear cut and significant facts regarding the rela- ton of the living Go those who have passed to the golden shore. The speaker emphasized in numerous ways the opportunities for service that are afforded all in every day life and he told in an impressive way his belief the high honors that could be paid the memory of the departed by helplng those who still remained on earth The address was one of the most practical diseourses ever given before the local lodgemen.
 During the past year two members or Mena lodge of Elks have passed away. Their deaths indicate in a way the wlde range of membership of the local lodge. F. T. Roach died in Florida and D. W Carter died in Cal ifornia. The death of these two members increased the number of
