INFLUENCE A GREAT THING
II Proeures the Shortening of q Sentence
 of Federal Prisoner.

It will be remembered that N. q. Overstreet, about three years ago, was reporter for the Pine Bluff Commercial. Shortly after he came here he joined the First Methodist Church, and expressed the hope that the Christian people of this city
 would render him moral aid and
 help him to overcome the Demon Alcohol. which had himin it's grasp. The love of drink had been the bane of his life and by it he had lost many lucrative positions.
 For several weeks after he came here he was sober, industrious young man, and did splendid work for his paper. The temptations sur rounding him, however. were too strong and he fell by the wayside, a drunken, besotted man. He lost his position and after remaining here until he could get no more stand offs'' for alcoholic beverages, he left iOl HCItt tlt influence of friends. he secured a posi- tion on one of the daily papers of that city. He could not master his love for liquor, and one day after be- ing on q prolonged spree. he stole a order for Il smal sum frSm an acquaintance, and committed forgery to get it cashed, that he might get money to continue his spree. He was ,apprehended, tried and convicted before the United States Court for the crime. The Memphis Commercial Appeal of yes terlay has the following to say of Overstreet, his history and crime:
 ''The two-years' sentence of ". G. Overstreet, who was convicted in lhe United States Court here at the last term for tampering with the mails has been shortened to oneI year.
 "This was secured through the

 "0yerstreet is of one of the best families in Kentucky. His mother is connected by blood to Lebanon families who have a national repu- tation. 1t was through these that the sentence was shortened. His father, pr. Overstreet, was leading citizen of Hardin County, Ky. He was killed. and trouble drove young Overstreet to drink. When started in this line the downward road was easy. 1t is said of 0verstreet that at one time he was the most capable newspaper men in the BIuegrass State. He was editor of the Hardin County News, q paper published near the home of Gen. Simon Bolivar Buckner. Since Overstreet's incarceration his wife has secured divorce from him. She also belongs to an excellent family of Hart County, Ky.

OIL FIELD NOTES
An Increase in Drilling Toward the Eastern
Portion

An Increase In Drilling Toward the Eastern
Portion
The oil field still continues to extend
toward the east beyond Victor street,
which was formerly the boundary. and
in a westerly direction beyond Belm ont
avenue At the latter extremity Book
e. Pennypacker are erecting derrick.
The new well will be located on Rock
wood street.
Mr.. Chandler is preparing to drill for
oil on Beaudry avenue between Temple
street and Bellevue avenue. This is the
farthest encroachment yet made in tsis
lower end of the field. Should oil be
found in the locality, as in all probabil-
ity it will, since it is not far from the
Powell well. which has yielded tuch an
amount of petroleum. 1t will only be u
short time until another thickly settled
residence section will have to give way to
the aggressive derricks.
The Far West Oil c}mpany's we'll near
Westlake PARK has been given some trou-
BILE on account of large veins OF water
which were penetrated about 800 feet
down. The water has been successfully
cased off and drilling is now going on
very rapidly.
William Snyder will soon begin drilling
on the Duncan location at the corner OF
Court and Patton streets.
Another well is being put down by the
Raymond Oil company on Victor street,
near Temple.
Lawrence d. Co. have Just completed a
new derrick on Park place, above lem Pile
street. where it is their intention to drill
"a deep well.
Pumping apparatus was yesterday at
tached to the new we'll of Doheny and
Common, located on Park place, near TEN

In Regard to Finances

NEW YORK. August 24.-The New
York Financier says this week: The
statement of the associated banks from
this country for the week ending August
oath was favorable ono in every way.
1t was marked by a heavy increase in
loans, contraction of deposits and con-
sequent sbri rinkage in the reserve. The
week has witnessed great change in the
conditions heretofore prevailing in the
money market. There has been no ad-
vance in the rates. but railway develop.
ment points to an ealy season of better
figures for loans. The movement of money
from the interior did not nearly equal the
shipments from this center to the south
and west, moro especially to the latter
section.
1t is not expected that gold shipments
will assume much larger proportions.
since the reaction in exchange rates has
removed the chances of making much
profit ON transers of coin.
The expansion of 81 25.. 300 in loans
during the week represents business done
with country banks and in the most
from commercial sources, as well as from
some of the larger stock exchange houses.

TuI.re's Cooperative Creamery

The Tulare Register has lost faith in
cooperative creamery projects. 1t pains
the writer to confess it. for he has looked d
to voluntary cooperation for cure for
almost all the ills which the producer
bears, but cooperative creameries are
not a success. Creameries are a success,
and the cooperative idea is an excellent
one to work for their esta blishment. but
the verdict of twenty years Of experiment
from the Dakotas to Texas and from the
Rocky mountains to the Alleghanies, is
that thel creameries are not successful
when operated by cooperation of farm
ers, but soon drift into individual or cor
porate ownership when they are success
ful. The trouble seems to be that too
many cooks spoil the broth; that under
cooperation every stockholder wants to
have say in the management. disaffec-
ton and contention result. shareholders
become discouraged and drop out, stock
goes below par and is bought up by one
or two, the concern is :eorganized under
individual management, and good bus
mess is built up for the owners as we'll as
fair business for those who furnish the
milk. Furthermore. the system which
pays for milk in proportion to the butter
IT makes, and not in proportion to the
quantity Of milk furnished without ref
erence to quality, IS the system which
pays where this other fails.

attendant upon the gradual return of So

Fruits are in large supply and great va

Consular Information for the
Use of Exporters
REGARDING FOREIGN TRADE
The DATA Collected by the Department
of State
Seems Not to Be the HowIing Success
That Was Anticipated

There is no lack Of consular iniorma-
Mon to guide the would-be Am merican ex-
porter. Speaking on this subject,
writer in the Public Ledger says that un-
der this administration, as under former
ones. the department OF state has been
busy collecting data, through the diplo-
matte and consular offices, as to the COM
nercial systems, markets and Consump-
tion OF products of all the important
countries of the world. Incidentally. in
the course of these Investigations. it has
been shown that many Of the simplest
requirements for successful trade with
particular countries have either been neg
lected or ignored by American exporters.
It need hardly be said that III bringing
to cast discredit upon American business
methods or American enterprise. The
object was tosenlighten our manufactnr-
ers and merchants as to the best means
Of reaching foreign markets and securing
. share OF their trade. 10 do this it was
necessary TO point out tile dcilclencles
OF our present system OF manufacturing
and exporting. The energies OF official
representatives abroad have been directed
most strenuously by the present admins
tration to the great task of building up
foreign trade as the logical completion OF
1CS eIIOTtS W cStdUliSu anu IHulHt;tlH buo
fricndliest Tleations with other countries.
Every month the state department issues
. publication containing variety OF
commercial information from consular
officers, and in addition, from time to
time, special pamphlet dealing with u
particular line OF trade. The consuls,
com mercial agents, ETC., are constantly
reporting new fields ffor American entar-
prise, and the day scarcely passes tnat
the Ledger does not contain some refer
ence to one or more of their dispatches.
Besides this. a vast number OF individual
inquiries from manufacturers, mer-
chants, professional men, business and
industrial organizations. ETC., ARE answer
ed through thu aid of the consular SER
vice. Many of the consular officers are
also the willing agents for distributing
trade circulars, catalogues, ETC., of Amer
icau firms, and important business nego-
tiations are of. len facilitated by their good
offices. A number of new industries and
business enterprises in this country have
had their origin in their suggestions or
advice or in the information they sup
piled. Their unsefuness to trade is nee
essarily more in the nature of suggestion
than in the active help they are able to
give in carrying out any definite plan of
commercial development. Government
aid can be given to inform, to instruct
TO caution, and even to prepare the way
but il never can take the place OF individ-
ual enterprise and effort The great work
of creating foreign commerce must be
done, not by governmental officials. but
by the manufacturer or the merchant
who has his own interests to serve. who
can serve them best through his own
chosen agents.
