ARKANSAS SOUVENIRS
 BY OLIVER JENNINGS
A REVIEW.

Reverend Oliver w. Jennings, who is in the city, the guest of his sister, Hrs. J. G. Taylor, is the author of q very interesting book. Arkansas Souvenirs" which is finding ready sale in this section, both for it's at tractive style and the fact that the scenes are laid in Arkansas, near Pine Bluff. The descriptions of llaces and pSople are faithful and life-like. The book is dedicated to- ike Hon. Dan w. Jones, of Little Rock. former governor of Arkansas. On whose staff Rev. Jennings served during the yeer 1898. Among the il- iustrations aIs. half-tones Of Cover nor Jones, Rev. Jennings. the Arkan- sas state capital at Little Rock. and the First Christian church of this ity, which church was organized by the author in 1894.
 The sketch, "Arong tue Arkansas Bayous." is replete with the spirit of good cheer as dispensed by Captain Henry Taylor in the true old South ern style, and to local readers will he found very entertaining Enough philosophy is woven into the sketches to make them of mere than passing interest, as for instance the follow ing passage, selected from among 2 rumber that would impress the thoughtful reader: Truly the world is all right; the trouble is that man is not in harmony with his prop r surroundings, because he is net en rapport with tie God that made him. v
 The latter half of the little volume is given to a romance. "The Mystery of Ring" centsring around the Hollywood plantation, well known as the home cf the Taylor family, repre- sen.ed in Pine Bluff now by J. G. Taylor, one nf the "Taylor brothers. " The opening description of Holly wood is a fair promise of what the reader can expect from further psr- scnal of the story. The words seem 1 to carry with item the fragrance, the melody. and tne beau.y, of typical Southern plantation life: "Beautiful Hollywood plantation! there arr few reople in Southeast Atkansas wh1 1 have not heard of thee.

Trick of the Human Eve.

Although drops of falling rain are known to be almost spherical, they appear simply as streaks to the eye. This is because an indefinite number of images of the drop are impressed on the retina of the eye and, owing to persistence of vision-the retention of an image on the retina for fraction of a second after the object has passed the eye gets the impression of a streak. It is this that causes the spokes of rapidly rotating wheel to appear blurred and that makes mo- tion pictures possible.

into CUSHING FIELD,
Uncle Sam Company Secures Two
Valuable Oil Properties.

Tulsa, Okla, July 16.-One of the
late big moves in the Cushing oil field
near this city is the entrance into
that district of the Uncle Sam Oil
the most valuable undeveloped pieces
there-a twO-thirds interest in go
decided acres and lease on 80 acres =
is planning a vigorous drilling cam
paign.
The Uncle Sam Oil company, while
a large producer, has always played
the game safe, and has followed out
it's original plan begun eleven years
ago of working hard in the developed
fields; therefore, it's operations in the
Gushing field will be followed with
much interest as it's two properties
there will support thirty deep sand
wells, and as the judgment of prac-
teal oil men is that it's drilling opera
lions there ought to be followed with
immense results.
The Uncle Sam Oil company has
been an active force in the various
Kansas and Oklahoma oil fields, and
has drilled more than 200 wells. It's
movements in the Gushing oil field
have additional significance when it
is considered that that district is not
far from the company's pipe line
which runs into this city from Cherry
vale, Kan, a distance of ISL miles,
connecting its two refineries at these
two points.
This pipe line, which is the only
ice in the United States, having been
exempted by the decision OF the
United States supreme court from the
ruling which declared all other pipe
lines as common carriers, is connected
up with more than 100 of the Uncle
Sam company wells, and also with the
major portion of it's oil lands and ell
leases.
The entrance of the Uncle Sam Oil
company into the Gushing field and
the renewed activity there of other
large producers seems to indicate that
the period of slackened production.
which has prevailed in the oil fields
for the past few months, will give
place to an era of activity which
promises to round out 1915 into ii
fruitful year for the oil industry. This
assurance is given additional credence
by the fact that within the past two
weeks there has developed an in
creased foreign demand for both
crude oils and the products manufac-
tured therefrom. 1t looks, therefore,
as if the great war now raging in
Europe, which has made large de-
mands upon the producing energies of
the United States in many other lines,
will also look to this country for a
large portion of it's oil supply.
