WHY MOTIF

We have noticed with much pleas
IRE that the competent capitalists who
control the dcslinies Of the Union Oil
Co, of New Orleans are about estab-
fishing an oil mill plant at Vidalia in
Conrordia parish al probable cost Of
abon. 100000.
This is 10 US pleasant news. mas
much M il shows tendency ON the
part Of the financially powerful Con-
pany TO branch out to sufficient ex-
tent 80 as 10 save the expense Of the
transportation of the raw material.
We are especially pleased because we
know there is 40 town on The banks
Of The big river in the great valley
that is better adapted in every way TO
make an oil mill plant complete sue
cess Than Lake Providence. lts water
privileges are abundant. It's supply of
cotton see.l from all poriions of the
parish, from West Carroll, Chic"'
county, Ark. and ether points ahja-
ceni wamld furnish MI abundance to
make the venture complete success.
The saving in the transportation Of
the raw material would be u sufficient
item To justify the establishment of
cotton mill plant IN Prnvtience, and
while we know at the outset II might
reduce the revenues of our popular
landing keeper Capt. Pnrdy. liwould
soon recoup him in the oil and cakt
tor shipment that would naturally fol
low.
| we think this is the exac, time fol
Capt. v. NJ. Purdy to use his wei
known powerful influence with th'
/ Union Oil Co, 10 push Providence
ahead. There Is no other man in III
community That can WELD any sucl
Influence, and we sincerely hope in ih
general interest he will give this sug
yestian thoughtful attention.
