scum GOING
Plan Submitted That if Accepted by
Mena Citizens. Will Do This and at
Same Time Put District Out
of Debt.
A plan has been proposed whereby
Mena’s school system can be kept in
operation and at the same time freed
from a burden of debt. The plan to
be successful depends largely upon
the co-operation of patrons of the
high school and others who are inter
ested in the success of this branch of
our public educational system.
Wednesday evening the committee
selected at the mass meeting of citi
zens held the evening before, met at
the office of W. S. MacLafferty with
members of the school board, to dis
cuss ways and means of continuing
the high school work the coming year.
After much planning and discussion
it was decided the best way to han
dle the matter was for the patrons of
the high school to appoint the School
Board their agent to operate the
school, employing teachers and doing
all other necessary things for its op
eration. The patrons are to agree to
send all members of their families of
High School age and to pay therefor
the sum of five dollars each per month
for nine months. In addition to this
other citizens will be asked to sign a
guaranty to the school hoard to take
care of any defit iency that may arise
above the tuition collected, this amount
not to exceed the sum of twenty-five
dollars for each guarantor.
A committee consisting of two
members of the board was selected
for each wan! with other citizens to
secure these pledges as follows:
First Ward.
K. Goff, F. C. Embry, J. F. Averitt,
R. L. Norris, Mi's. Will Cole. Mrs.
Fred Van Wagner.
Second Ward.
T. R. Jones, H. W. Finger, W. S.
MacLafferty, F. J Smith, Mrs. T. A.
Park, Mrs. Minor Pipkin.
Third Ward.
M. P. Olney, H. L. Norwood, W. I.
Green, J. B. Goss, Mrs. Frank Tom
linson, Mrs. R. C. McCoy.
The secretary of the School Board
is to secure a list of all children in
High school and in the Eighth grade
* subject to entrance next year to the
Freshman class. The above members
of the committee are requested to
meet the school board at Mr. MacLaf
ferty’s office Saturday evening, March
26, for the purpose of making division
of the names of patrons.

PICKUPS

miiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
Mrs. Virginia Ixigie has left at the'
Commercial Club office two years back
numbers of the Outlook which are foi
free distribution to anyone interested
in this periodical. In the numbers are
discussed some of the greatest world
and national problems that have con
fronted the world in the last two
years.
A fine example of the profitableness
of back yard gardening may be seen
at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Stanley
Woodruff at 509 Ninth street. Mr.
Wtf'drufT has for many years made a
specialty of growing lettuce under
glass, but he has never been more
successful than during the season of
1920-1921. He began marketing his
product last Thanksgiving, and one
day this week when the Secretary
visited his place he had a bed of eight
sash ready for the market, the leaves
of the plants measuring from 8 to 10
inches in length and over four inches
in width. In addition he had a bed of
12 sash recently set out which will be
ready for market when the other is
sold out. He has still another bed of
four sash used for raising the plants.
He also raises tomato, pepper, parsley,
ami salvia piants, doing all the work
in the spare time from his commis
sion business.
W. S. Blackshear, after a futile ef
fort to locate some dirt bands or suit
able paper bags to be used in raising
tomato, watermelon and other plants
under cover ready to be transplanted
in proper season, was directed to tne
Commercial Club office for help. Here
he was assured that he would be furn
ished the price list and address of a
linn making a specialty of dirt bands
and other gardeners’ supplies, hut bet
ter still it was suggested to him that
the cheapest and most practical thing
to use was the old tin cans from wind:
the tops and bottoms could be readily
removed by throwing them into a
brush fire which will usually also un
solder the sides so that by tieing a
string around them they become as
good or better than dirt bands. They’re
cheapo . too, for wagon loads can l>e
gatherid up about, Alena.
A good result flowing from the
poultry show was disclosed last week
when Mrs. W. A. Worthington called
at the Commercial Club office to get
in touch with some breeder of Brown
Leghorn hens. She was directed to
get in communication with V. Tallon
of the Pallas community, who had

been awarded first prize for the best
hen of these marvelous egg producer.
After Mr. and Mrs. Worthington
made a trip to the Tallon farm they
not only bought eggs for setting but
also bargained for the purchase of 50
hens for which they paid $75. They
also learned that during the last win
ter and this spring Mr. and Mrs. Tal
lon’s flock of about 175 birds had
brought in enough revenue to pay for
their own feed, to pay for all the grain
needed for 11 head of cattle and a
team of horses and to buy all the gro
ceries used in the home, and then pro
ducing some months a small surplus
besides.
S. C. Payne, forest ranger sta
tioned at Rich Mountain, while in the
city recently took up with the execu
tive committee of the Commercial Club
some of the details relating to the
bridle trail to be built to the top of the
peak north of the city. The plan is to
start the trail near the city reservoii
and run it up the side of the mountain
along a line where the grade will not
exceed 10 per cent, instruction having
been given by Forest Supervisor
Charles ^ A. Ply male that distant;
should be sacrificed for grade since
it will be a much traveled route and is
ntended to be a model Forest Service !
trail. The trail will reach the top of [
the range a short distance east of the !
peak, and then will be built along the |
ridge in both directions to the peak
and Round Top, respectively, the pui
pose being to construct it later from
i he Peak to Rich Mountain and from
Round Top east to intersect the Mena
Acorn road. The construction of a
lookout tower on the Peak is another
development that will follow the build
I ing of the trail. In writing about this
' matter Supervisor Plymale says: “I
! think the construction of this trail
| and of the tower would not only be
I beneficial as a means of travel and
| protective purposes, but R would alec
! give the Forest Service much favor
1 able publicity. It would be an asset.

i Inquiries are daily coming to the
| Commercial Club office about when,
how and with what to spray fruit trees.
Peaches should be sprayed during the
next week, or just when the calyx or
shuck has been shed from the small
peaches. This should be followed
about two weeks later, and then a
third spray should be given about
four or five weeks before the fruit
ripens. It is too late now to make
the cluster bud spray on apples, but
| the next spray should be made when
! about two-thirds of the petals have
! fallen, and then followed with another
I in three ttr four weeks. Still another
spray is needed to control bitter rot
and blotch, and where these diseases
are bad, two to three more are needed
I to insure good fruit. The best ma
, teriala to use are lime sulphur at the
’ rate of 1*4 gallons to 50 gallons of
j water to which has been added L
pounds of arsenate paste or a pound
of powdered lead arsenate, or else use
Bordeaux mixture comp >ed of 4
pounds of blue vitrol and 4 pounds of
stone lime to 50 gallons of water plus
the lead arsenate as given for the time
sulphur spray. “Scalacide," a pro
prietary spray material, has also been
coming into extensive use, and has
been pronounced as effective as the
lime sulphur or Bordeaux mixture.
THE SWEPT HOUSE.
(By Dr. William E. Barton, in the
Southwest American).
The age in which we live has great
faith in legislation. There was a time
when we sought to save men from
drunkards’ graves by moral suasion;
now we have a prohibitory amendment.
For that amendment I thank God. I
do not see how any sane man can know
the curse of strong drink and not be
a fanatic in his opposition to it. I am
not a fanatic; 1 am almost sinfully
reasonable about it. I believe in all
i laws that will make it easy to do right
I and difficult to do wrong.
But I know very well that no such
| law will in itself solve our problems.
The only effectual and permanent way
| to make men sober is to strengthen
! their moral nature. That is the only
way to make anybody good,
j All the legislation since Hammurabi
; Moses will not make a man good;
! it can only make it a little harder for
t him to be bad, and a little safer for
, his neighbcr.
W hen we have passed our good
i laws, we have only begun our duty.
! have still to educate and
I strengthen and help to create a moral
purpose and a righteous standard o]
living.
there is an old parable in the New
Testament about an unclean spiri’
:ast out which wanders about home
less for a while, and then comes bad
»nd brings seven worse spirits to livt
n the swept and garnished house.
We need to fill up human life witi
to much that is good that there shal
He less room for the spirits of evi
purposes and plans.
Casting out evil spirits is well
?nough in its way, and sweeping the
House is good; but after the house
leaning there is something to be done
to make life positive, strong anc
sweet.
