Oil We'll At Work.

The eight-inch casing arrived yesterday morning and was put in at once and drilling VAS commenced last night. The drilling was delayed on account of changing the size of the well. as the origional size crooked iH such a way that the larger cas- ing would not go in. and in try ing to ream it out, about 100 pounds of dynamite was used ii shooting the obstruction. This did not straighten the well and and the reduction was necess- ary. Work is progressing very we'll. The depth is about 25G or 300 feet.

A Great President.

Nearly everybody is agreed that Woodrow Wilson is making the greatest President that this country has ever had. If he had not been wise and level headed we would bave been in a bloody war with Mexico. He is determined that the United States shall not become involved in the European war.
 The Democratic party natural ly expected the President to make political speeches during the coming campaign. as has been the custom of former Pres idents. President Wilson. while Democrat, says that America is greater than any party and he issued a statement in which he says that he will not enter the campaign. On account of the European war he will stay on the job in Washington and take care of the interests of America. He is great and wise Christian President, and is not only look ing after the best interests of the nation. but is looking out for the best interests of the average man.
 Every man should be profound ly thankful that we have such a patriotic and peace-loving citizen as Woodrow Wilson in this crisis of the world. It is the solemn duty of every man. regardless of his politics. to uphold the admin istration. We are glad to see that the patriotic citizens of the nation are standing by Woodrow Wilson as they have probably never stood by a President be- fore in the history of our coun- try.

Bureau of Mines, Manu-
 features and Agricultural

There has been such flood of gratuitous advice to the farmers from so many sources lately that the farmers are doubtless tho- roughly disgusted. The great number of letters, circulars, pos ters, dodgers, interviews and public speeches from and by men who know less about farm ing than anything else. that have deluged the columns of the press for the past six weeks. has been enough to disgust the farmers with what they term arm chair" city farmers for all time to come. Following hard upon the recent Cotton Conference called by the Governor and held in Little Rock, there has been a regular flood of advice to the farmers to diversity their crops.
 hope the real farmers who farm with their hands instead of their mouths, so to speak. will have pity on the city who have been giving so much advice on diversification. Doubtless a good many of them who knew nothing about diversiticatlon thought the tanners were more ignorant than they were, which to my own certain knowledge IS by no means the case. As a matter of fact. l would like to see lot of these bankers and business men stood up in a row and taught lot of things hy the farmers. The farmers of Ark ansas are just about as we'll up on farming as the bankers and business men are on business. and can come a little nearer to teaching them. than being taught by them In addition to this. it can be said to the credit of the farmers. that they as q class. are a reading and thinking peop.e, and better informed about the funtions of govern ment. Federal and State. than the bankers and business men. and this is said with no disre- spect to the latter.
 An this campaigning to teach the farmers how to feed them selves is gatuitous, uninvlted and mcalled for advice. The farmers are not such simpletons as to not know how to raise their own meat and bread. and corn, oats and hay, to feed themselves and their stock. They know how and they know the ne- cessity. What they want from the bankers and business men is help to hold or handle their pres ent cotton crop. and keep 1t out of the hands of the spectators. After the cotton crop gets out of the hands of the farmers 1t will do them no good for the price to go up. What the farmers need is substantial help now in time of need. and not a sluice of advice. It will be an everlasting disgrace if the banks of the South let the cotton get out of the hands of the farmers for want of tinan- cial help, and then furnish the money to the specuiator with which to hold and handle the crop and get the advantage of the higher prices that may come later. The high sounding letters of advice to the farmers instead of substantial help, while well meant and conscientiously given, is not going to meet the full ex- pectations of the agricultural classes. They have asked for bread and been given stone.
 A campaign is being organized to teach farmers how to diversi- fy and feed themselves. No campaign has been organized to furnish the money or means to the farmers to enable them to diversity. It is money and credit x.....n.., ,.n..l n.A,ts p,Nnnh

in such shape as to justify the ad-

WAHIAWA Water
COMPANY ON THE
LIST FOR PROBE
Public Utilities Commission To
Hold Initial Hearing Sat-
urday Afternoon

To determine whether. or not the
Wahiawa Water Company is utili-
ties corporation is the task which nuw
confronts the public utilities commits
sion, and is one which will he taken
up in conjunction with the present
probe by the commission Of the Inter
Island Steam Navigation Company. In
accordance with act 127 of the session
laws of 1913, each concern in the
territory doing public utilities bust
ness is required to pay a certain per
cent of the gross income and capital
during the year to the commission,
which serves as the latter's upkcep.
When the initial demand was made
last September, the WahiaWa Water
Company, as well as all other compa-
nies, denied the Jurisdiction OF the
commission and it's liability to pay
the fees.
The initial hearing in the inVestiga-
tion has been set for Saturday after
noon at the Wahiawa school house,
at which time the commission will be
present as we'll as the heads of the
company. The commission chose to
investigate the water company in or.
der to establish a standard in that
class of companies to determine jur-
isdiction in order to form basis of
conclusion as to the commissions jur-
isdiction over other companies. The
Wahiawa Water Company acquiesced
in submitting the facts required by
the commission to make the investiga-
ton without an admission of juris-
diction, and it will be the business Of
the commission to determine whether
or not the Jurisdiction may be levied.
The first public hearing in the case
of the Wahiawa company was held
October 81, 1913, at which time the
commission and the attorneys and
heads of the company met and the lat
ter submitted both documentary and
oral testimony. Chairman E. A. Mott
Smith left for the mainland shortly
after that. then nothing was done un-
til December "a, and since that time
the matter has been brought up be-
fore every meeting of the commission,
and conferences have been held with
the representatives Of the waterfront
pany
The water company says thath is
mutual water association and furnish
es its product only - the stOckhOld-
ers, and is therefore not a utilities
corporation. and it will be the solving
of this problem toward which the COM
mission will work in its investigation.

BRICK RED HAIR
AND GREEN COATS

NEW YORK.-Brick red hair to be
worn preferably with green coats and
corkscrew skirts, are what the ladies
of Paris are wearing, according to
Charles C. Kurzman, a man milliner,
who has been abroad styIe-hunting.
He arrived on the Lusitania today.
The corkscrew skirt can only be got
into by the fair donner of the garment

dervish. Once safe inside it, she
drapes a few yards of lace around it

Kurzman said that fashionable Paris
