\Y. Slote, and Mrs. Stole and son, 8. B., left Tuesday for Omaha, N'ebr. They had spent the winter at the home of James A. Slote.

L. A. Cummings cut and split 100 rails in 5 hours Wednesday. But pshaw, that is nothing compared to what Luther can do wtien lie gels down to work.

The Rev. W. B. Arnold, assisted by the M. K. Church finance com- mittee are making preparations to soon start the erection of a nice parsonage for the town of Hatfield.

Mr. and Mrs. James A. Slote arc in receipt of a letter from their son, Bernard, at Heavener, stating that they have a 10-pound baby boy in their home. Brand-daddy Jim is tickled to death.

Chas, C. Delaney, farm demonstra- tor for Polk county, made his sec-

The society would have made twice this .amount from the dinner, only for IlV fact, they were unwilling to take any'bauie from (In* hotels and restaurants.

Hatfield Farmers Talk Business. A large crowd of farmers at-

tended the Farm Loan Association meeting Saturday afternoon at the old Masonic llali, and for an hour *r so made things interesting to all farmers who wanted to borrow 0% government money to make im- jprovements, etc. The association is getting well organized and are hav- ing difficulty in holding the bound- ary to the prescribed territory of 10 miles square. Secretary-Treas- urer W. T. Myrrs is getting letters from inquirers all over the county wanting in on the first application for money, that is now being com- pleted to forward to the No. ti Land Hank in 81. Louis. Mo.

Fold Feet, Joe Lewis will not gel out that

Hatfield paper of his on (he Kith of this month as announced in last "weeks Star. In the first place he bas learned that it tn’.-s m<.nev and •experience to run a paper, and he hasn't gut either. After sp-tnliu i the letter part "f a Sid “William” he tound that it would take about $7f)0 to install a docent newspaper j jdarii ip Hatfield- a hand press at that--not ..saving anything <>f t,b.> livtiui-.. f ...I....... ,. VI I

ggj teamed furthermore that Hatfield ie'ufte aia> elnuvy and will not ae-

just anything in the way of a

•aiewspoper—no, not on your' life! They want a paper with linotype print, and it only takes thousands to bgy the machinery alone for such a paper. So after our aspirant Hat- field newspaper editor learned these facts and many more, too nu- merous to mention, he rapidly came back to earth and is now figuring on

raising chickens for a livelihood. In tactile is already at it. The last day fte was at Mena he came home to find his wife trying to keep if young chirk* from freezing to death, and since that time he has been kept busy. Again, if you ever meet another farmer who wants to edit a newspaper for a town like Hatfield, just keep quiet and call a ■doctor—be needs attention. So au revoir, Hatfield paper; nit, nixy, nothin’ doin' for your Uncle Dudley.

Boyhood Days Over Again. After all, it is the constant meet-

ing with little unexpected incidents that yields us our greatest pleas- ures. This was fully demonstrated Saturday when the Rev. J. B. Wil- liams and Henry Milter met for the first time in 36 years, white getting their mail at the postofiice. While boys they attended school together

•'At -the place now occupied by the : Six-Mite cemetery. Will Barton was their teacher. For sometime they went over their boyhood school ■days witti memories as vivid as if it had beer, yesterday. They forgot <our nerve-strained 20th century life and went back to the time when everybody lived simple country lives —a time when boys played with na- ture for pastime and considered a

day ill-spent that did not bring them in touch w ith the birds, creek-

§ POWds, yellow jackets and snake ft "decs. Rev Mr. Williams, "ommonk

known as “Uncle Buck" Williams, and Henry Miller will each in a

few years start in on the “getting- sun" period of life, but their friend- ly manners indicate that they are

> et on a journey with youth, who, even if young, is wise and never de- serts tlie faithful. Well did Long- fellow hit the mark when he wrote "The thoughts of. youth are long, long thoughts.

"Cranny” CWwrUli .. j am often asked why Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy is best for babies. Well, there are several reasons:

> First: It is perfectly harmless and can be given with every

confidence to the youngest or most delicate child.

Secondly: It contains no alcohol, opium, chloroform, mor-

phine or any other narcotic. Thirdly: Children like it, and no persuasion is .needed to

get them to take it. For the above reasons alone it is impossible to get a better

medicine for babies than 0

Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy But aside from its safety it relieves coughs and colds, is the

beat remedy known tor croup, and when given as soon as the

croupy cough appears it will even prevent the attack.
