Several papers of the state are
predicting that Congressman Old
field will oppose Senator James P.
Clarke for reelection in 1914. AT
his home at Batesville the other
day, when asked about the matter,
Mr. Oldfield said his candidacy for
reelection to congress was: as far
into his political future as he cared

Senator Clarke will be defeated for

without intelligence does not win;

IN a recent competitive examin-
alton held by the United States
Civil Service Commission for book
keeper in the United States Recla-
nation Service, Tom L. Jackson OF
Umpire, Ark, was one of the twen-
ty-six successful in passing the
test. This examination was held
in some city in every state in the
Union. A fair idea of the extent
and thorouehness of the examina-
ton is gathered from the result. OF
the three hundred and forty-sevcn
competitors only the number men-
toned above were successful. But,
aside from this, the honor of the
highest grade ever made in an ex-
animation for the Reclamation Ser
vice fell to Mr., Jackson of Arkan-
sas. In recognition of his excep-
tioual merit Mr., Jackson was ap-
pointed to a position in the Recla-
nation Service Immediately upon
the announcement of the result OF
the examination, at an entrance
salary Of $1,000 a year, and the
chances are that he will be getting
upward of $500 q year before he
has been In the service year, as
promotions are very rapid In this
department.
"Mr, Jackson's achievement was
not accidental, He worked hard
for the place and undoubtedly
earned 1t, and the state should be
proud of him, as well as the Uni
yersity of Arkansas, where he re-
ceived the major part Of his educa"

basket ball teams of Star, came to

District No. 40 Stays In.

The county commissioners on
Wednesday denied the petition OF
i N Martin and others, residents
Of School District No. 40 (known
as the Remington district TO-
withdraw from the Meridian rural
high school. The board held that
the petition was signed largely by
homeland owners. and if this IS.
correct, the renters protested
against the expense of being in
the high school district when as
a matter Of fact it is not costing
them cent, or only a few cents
at the most,
This is the third effort OF dis
tricts to withdraw from the rural
high school, Upper Fairyiew and
Victory being successful in get
ting detached" These two how
ever, are isolated from Meridian,
and one at least, in the opinion OF
the County Superintendent,
should not have been included in
the first organization.
District No. 40 has $4,000 in
taxable property, and its share Of
the rural high school expenses this
year will be $247
J. f. Nav and others of the
Blue Valley district are also cir
culating a petition to withdraw,
but it is said that there are as
many others in the Blue Valley
district who are just as anxious to
stay in.
There is one thing evident, and
that is, if the rural high school is
to be the success it should be, it
must have the coopeation of all
the people in the several districts
If half of the patrons are divided
Or sore for one reason or another
it detracts from any possible ad.

The high school is helped by
an independent apportionment Of

its maintenance is small. Sec.

account of its location in a Ger

prunes were those sent from Per-

ali the fruit from the Bowers
orchard (uow called the Abbott
orehardl was packed there,
As to the price realized from the
fruit, while there was poor start
for the apple crop, the price adj
vaneed as the cars were held back
from market. and later the price
has been very good. For the sea
son the price for apples has been
very satisfactory Prunes also
were sold at very fair prices, and
