Activity in the development of the
oil resources of Hot Springs county
has become an actual fact, and that
the field is promising is conceded.
The Grass Creek oil field is max
ing good. The California Company,
encountered a good body of high
grade oil recently. The flow was
cased off and the company will go
down to the second flow. Competent
oil men say that all that is needed to
bring in gusher is to shoot the well.
The rig that drilled this producing
we'll has been moved 400 feet and is
sinking another hole. The Ohio Com
pany also has rig at work there and
two more were taken into the field,
one belonging to the Midwest Com
pany.

Plan to standardize Schools.

Denvcr.-No modern educational
problem has been the source of more
study in an attempt to solve than the
standardization of rural schools, State
Superintendent of Public Instruction
Mary c. G. Bradford has evolved
tentative plan to accomplish this pur-
pose in Colorado. AS beginning in
the proposed Standardization Mrs.
Bradford proposes to issue three
grades of certificates, to be issued to
three grades of county schools. The
first grade would be issued to those
schools complying with the largest
number of the requirement outlined.
The second to those schools possess
ing a lesser number Of qualifica-
tions, and the third to the schools
demonstrating the minimum of eff
cheney and equipment that could be
accepted by the public school depart
ment as emitting them to state recog-
milton of this sort.

many hands were employed by Mr.. Dow
ney. Besides this, every FISHERMAN who
employs a cutler. or any other labor on his

however, will not get any more money for
their oysters. The employer and employe
both get hit under this compensation law.
