AMONG OURSELVES

Right seriously have we been think ing. about Mena's good people (what it takes to make any town) in par ticular. As for the town itself, we doubt if there is another within the radius of many miles that has such wonderful undeveloped possibilities.
 Then, when you couple that to the fact that Mena is composed of such purely American population, do you see how Mena and Polk county can do otherwise than advance
 And, too, when we think down the list of Mena's business men we have deep feeling of pride that we are one of them. Oh, of course, there are times when little misunderstanding come up between themselves, and with their customers, but soon everything is smooth again and it turns out to have been merely case of good mo- tives misunderstood.
 But as for ourselves, among this splendid list of business men, we pre- fer not to comment here, as we scarce ly feel able to judge that feature as

CONCERT GRAND PIANO
 PIGS FETCHING POST
Trappings of Civilization Traded to Russian Peasants for Food,
 Find Strange Uses.

Kursk, Russia, Jan. 19.-Trappings of civilization are finding strange uses in the peasant huts of Russia. City folks who have fled to rural dis tricts in search of bread have ire quently been compelled to trade their belongings to the peasants for food and frequently they have little idea how to use the articles which come to them in exchange for milk and flour,
 An American who recently visited a village near this city saw a mag. nificent concert grand piano in one room of hut which sheltered a peasant family of six. The family's cooking utensils were stacked on tor of the piano and small pig was tied to one of the legs.

drunk. He said Tom Johnson was badly intoxicated.
 In going there Tom fell into creek and emerged cursing madly and threatening to kill everybody.
 Reaching the house Tom offered familiarities to Mrs. Johnson, which was resented by her husband. Mrs. Hopkins was in bed. Deadly fighting seemed imminent, but was averted.
 Later the trouble was revived and Honsinger decided to leave. He set out, but was followed by Roy John son, who threatened to shoot him if he refused to return. Honsinger kept going and when some distance from the house, he heard the shots which probably caused Hopkins death.
 Tom Johnson, with the two arrest ed today, will face the grand jury at an adjourned term of court April 8.
 Roy Johnson is yet at liberty, and no developments in the chase for him occurred today.

THE SPARROW.

The song sparrow is about the size of the English sarrow, but has long CT tail.
 The chipping and field sparrow is smaller than the English sparrow and has no spots on it's breast.
 The sparrow is one of the birds re- ferred to in the Bible.
 The home or English sparrow is perhaps the most familiar of the seed-eating birds known to the whole civilized world.
 The sparrow flies at the rate of twenty-two miles an hour, but for short distances can fly at the rate of eighty miles an hour.
 The English sparrow has eliminat- ed the thistle and caterpillar from New Zealand. Sparrows are known to have lived forty years. A single pair of sparrows and 8 nest of young ones consume about 5000 insects week
 It is estimated that the sparrow thought to be city bird, is found to the extent of five pairs on each farm in the Northwestern part of the United States.

|DR. KCORD ON
 4 GREATER MENA
Scored Those Who. Taking No Part in Making Conditions Better. Yet Complain-Defnite Program
 Is Essential.

It is questionable if any intelligent, thinking man has ever before in Mena, stood before such an audience as that faced by Dr. Clyde Wilson McCord in the Methodist Church, South, Sun day night, and with such force driven home to the minds and hearts of the hearers such direct, soul-stirring pro- positions. He spared neither those who were members and supporters of the church nor those who stood on the outside and looked on-each find ing fault with community conditions as they existed. If any failed to grasp the significance of the applicA- tion of logic it was because he or she failed to listen or did not have the mental power to think.
 Following, in brief, are some of the phrases that made those think who heard, and, it is believed, will attract the attention of the readers of The Star:
 Use is the test of everything; practical tests are being applied to every phase of human activity; effi- ciency is the slogan.
 When the word is passed that the church must take it's place, be tested and present it's credentials for in- spection, the hands of many are held up in holy horror. Their con- tention is that the church must be shielded from the investigation of the curious.
 The church with all the rest of life must share in this practical testing There is no doubt of the outcome. The only thing to be feared is that men will not take the time to test the church and investi- gate its claim of being the world s source of real salvation. A greater Mena will only be pos sible by appreciation of the church force and it's power to accomplish things. But the church is held back by two things-the folks inside and the folks outside.
 Of those inside I ask these ques- tions In the matter of ideals do the folks outside see in your lives any thing different from theirs or m contrast with theirs
 Tn matters, civic, political and municipal you cry to the very heavens. Were you ever guilty of attending a caucus?
 You are opposed to pool halls and picture shows. Have you offered the young folks anything in theil places? If you cannot answer these questions in the affirmative, silence on your part until at least you make some effort in a reform direction, would be very happy idea.
 To those outside 1 send these queries: Do you believe in the re- ligion that was your mothers
 Would you live in a town with nc church in it?
 When you pick out hyprocrits from the church as proof of youl accusations, why do you pass over the head of twenty-five pretty con- scientious Christians to get your proof? The hypocrite becomes your defense; can you hide behind a thing that is smaller than your self?
 A greater Mena means getting together. It means the building up of the church by union of split forces, the presenting of a solid front of all men and women and all churches. It means the adoption of a definite program and that pro- gram must include the assembly, new school buildings, community house and a renewed civic con- sciousness.

Purging Union Labor of Radicalism.

In labor circles new organization has come into existence as rival of the American Federation of Labor. It is called the American Labor Aili- ance, and includes among it's leaders such radicals as w. z. Foster. A well organized propaganda is being wig orously promoted. The Labor World, thoroly sane labor organ, says ot the new organization: "There are many reasons why the public should not under any circumstances give the least support to the American Labor Alliance. In the first place, the aims are vicious, subversive of American liberties and justice, and founded on so-called principles that mean the ruin of even the rights of wage work CTS themselves. Foster, the head of the new body, has declared that the Russian Soviet is their ideal and yet it has proven itself to be one of the most utter and brutal failures that ever as introduced to mankind But aside from the leading principles upon which this new body is founded, it IS impossible for such conglomeration of men and women, holding such rad ical and conflicting opinions as now make up this Alliance, to remain united"
 It is fortunate for the American Federation of Labor that this new or ganization has been effected. It will draw off the dangerous, radical ele- ment which has lately caused good Americans to look with suspicion up- on some of the tendencies of organ ized labor. If the American Fedora ton of Labor, purged of Socialism will adopt a policy which will com mend it to the American public, | will be able to render both labor and the public q real serviee.--Arkansas Methodist.

HONEY PHILOSOPHY FOR 1922.

Having had their fling with Bal ance of Power," the politicians of Europe are now toying with new one, Equilibrium. They are very positive that there must be an equi- librium on the Danube. Also there must be an equilibrium in the Bal kans, and it looks like there will have to be an equilibrium of North Sea Nations. Doesn't it beat all !? Here we have a United States that's bigger than all Europe. You don't hear Nebraska suggesting an equi- librium of the northwest, or Texas askin for an equilibrium of the south west, or Vermont demanding an equi- librium in New England. Why doesn't Europe try a little United States unionism?

MAN SOUGHT FOR
 MURDER IS CAUGHT
Tom Johnson, Accused With Son, of Brutal Killing of MT. and Mrs. George Hopkins, Taken to
 Penitentiary.

Little Rock, Jan. 19.-Tom John son, 55 years old, who with his son Roy, is alleged to have brutally mur- dered George Hopkins and his wife, in Palarm township, Faulkner coun- ty, is held in solitary confinement at the state penitentiary, and pen off, cials are under orders not to permit anybody to talk to him.
 Johnson was captured early this morning by George (Smoky) Smith, of Faulkner county, at a point S5 miles from here, and was brought here about o'clock this afternoon. Smith said that he came across Johnson walking alone in the woods.
 Johnson refused to talk, Smith said, At the jail here he told newspaper reporters that he had "just been up in the country" He professed ignor- ance of the double murder, and also of the whereabouts of his son.
 The deputy who captured Johnson is not regular officer, but is semi professional ball player. Dispatches from Conway said that Smith had been on ''lone hunt" for the John sons,

 Postmaster c. E. Owen led the move to secure suitable reward for Smith. He heads the list with $5, and employees of the postoffice contributed $1 each. Should the heirs of Mir. and Mrs. George Hopkins, the murdered couple, carry out their intention tc sell the Hopkins farm and offer the proceeds, about $700, as reward Smith will receive about $500 for his exploit, altho he did not know at the time he undertook the pursuit, Gov ernor McRae had offered $100 and the Conway Ku Kiux $100 for both Tom and Roy Johnson.
 When Smith last left Conway, on ly the Ku Klux reward had beer posted. Smith made his search alone for the most part. He left Conway Sunday, going in Sheriff Will Brady's car, and was armed with govern ment revolver loaned by Postmaster Owen. He took Johnson in custody and drove to Little Rock without as sistance.
