NAMES TWO GOOD ARKANSAS
 WEEKLY PUBLICATIONS

Little Rock, Sept S.-While ancient jokesmiths are devoting much time to exploiting grammatical mistakes in country weeklies of Arkansas, and making capital of them, there has been working a force which gives credit to the rural weeklies of this great state, and the acknowledgement of merit far overbalances that of the alleged humorists.
 The University of Oregon, creat- ing a department of journalism, wrote to the leading daily papers of all cities of the Union, asking the editors what country weekly they considered the best edited and the best appearing. Thousands of answers were sent to the university authorities. The papers most mentioned were tabulated, and all but 19 were eliminated for fur ther consideration In this 19 were found the names of two good Arkansas weeklics, the Star of Mena, and the Arkansawyer of Stuttgart. The edi- tor of the big dailies are considered the best judges of newspapers, and the honor conferred on these two Ark ansas weekles, each over 2,000 miles from Oregon, is indeed a great one, and it goes to show what the metro politan press thinks of Arkansas journalism.

DEBATING ON THE
 WAR TAX MEASURE
Ways and Means Committee Has Reached No Definite Understand ing on Taxable Commodities.
 Stamp Tax Opposed.

Washington, Sept. 7.--An informal conference of the ways and means committee resulted in no definite un- derstanding as to what commodities would be taxed other than beer, prop rietary preparations and soft drinks. Committee members still insist that gasoline shall be taxed and argu- ments against it are not well found ed.
 Members of the finance committee are anxious to have the revenue bill passed in the house and hope to be able to accept of the bill but many senators favor a stamp tax on com mercial papers which the committee is inclined to avoid A stamp tax on commercial instruments during the Spanish-American war yielded near ly forty million dollars.
 Thus far the plans of the ways and means committee have been in the line of ignoring a stamp tax but if an agreement cannot be reached on taxable commodities to yield $25,- 100000 in addition to $75,o00,0o0 already tentatively provided for, it may be necessary to adopt stamp tax. This however may be limited to checks, drafts, telegrams and tele- phone messages instead of being ap- piled to conveyance, deeds, mortgages and all legal papers as was done in 1898.

DRILL OUTFIT IN WESTERN
 ARKANSAS POUNDING FOR OIL
Stated that Promoters will Sink Num- erOus Wells Until Vein is Struck. Leases on 10000 Acres of
 Land in Vicinity.

Attracting no more attention than though it was an ordinary we'll drill. "a drilling outfit is pounding away in "a west Arkansas county, in the quest .of oil, which he promoters say will either be found before the hole is abandoned, or in another to be sunk nearby. Few people in that section even know that the contractors are searching for oil, and those few have paid little attention to the facts which have leaked out, but if they were well aware of the identity of the drillers they would sit up and take notice.
 The Little Rock correspondent of the News happened to be in the vici- nity of the well last week, and en- countered very prominent Little Rock citizen, who confded to the news paper man that he was interested in the drilling, and added with a great show of confidence, that oil was sure to be found in quantities which would put Tulsa, Sour Lake, Beaumont and other fields to shame.
 This man admitted that oil had been bubbling out of the rock through which the drill had penetrated, and the indications were such that the drill lers expected to bring a gusher with in 2 few hundred feet.
 The men who began drilling in this vicinity are the ones who sunk the first wells in four of the five big fields of the Southwest. They are men we'll advanced in years, and every cent they made in developing the other fields they brought to Arkansas to exploit what they consider to be the next big strike, and which they expect to see out-yield them all These men sunk one dry hole, 150 feet from the pres ent location. The record on this well Iconvinced them more than ever that they were on the right track, and the Little Rock man became interested in order that 10000 acres of land in the vicinity of the well might be leased.
 This well is well back in the woods. in sparsely settled region, and little attention is paid to it by the natives, for they consider a search for oil to be foolish quest-too much so to be mentioned Thus the prospectors have been able to work quietly, and not to arouse interest until they se- cured heavy leases.

DEPT. OF AGRICULTURE
 RULING CAUSES WORRY Prohibited from Using Fruit Which Falls from Trees for Vinegar. Brandy, Etc. Large Per Cent
 of Crop Will be Lost.

With apple crop surpassing that of any previous year, Benton and Wash ington, as well as adjoining counties, are this year worrying little about the European war, yet they are losing money every day because~of rulings by the department of Agriculture, which seem to be out of season.
 There is always large per centage of the crop that falls from the trees and which will not be accepted for shipment. There are several grades of these refuse apples. The cheapest sells for 15 and 20 cents per hundred pounds, and is used for vinegar stock. The next grade sells for 25 and 30 cents per hundred and is used for pre- serving, for brandy and for evapora- tion. A recent ruling of the govern ment has about stopped the sale of the cheaper grade, because nothing can be worked into vinegar or brandy that is not 75 per cent sound when de ilVered at tine NatS.
 It is pointed out~by the chemists at the vinegar factories that an apple which is ground up and permitted to ferment in the vats before it can be made into brandy, goes through the same process of decomposition that an apple does when rotting in the field. Consequently, they argue, that an ap- pie which has partially routed in the field, is as clean and wholesome as one which has been ground up and permitted to go through the same process in a vat The ruling will cause the orchardists to lose much money this year.

This is a question that is worrying a of our people at this time The Water and Light Committee have been trying to make arrangements for the equipment to operate the plant continuous and may be able to do so.
 They have second hand plant in view and will probably send some one to look it over and if found to be what they need, buy it.
 The committee realizes fully the im- portance of having a continuous cur rent in the city and have done and will continue to exert themselves to supply it. We do not need this service simply because other places like Pres colt has it, but need it simply because it has become a necessity.
