CENTER FIELD OIL COMPANY.

The Center Field Oil Company is one of
the substantial producing companies that
has been formed as result of the boom
which Louisiana is now undergoing Ow-
ing to the immense oil development
that has been undertaken.
The officers OF the Center Field Oil Co.
are all well known business men. The
president, A. c. Lea, was for years the
United States Marshal i'm North Louisiana
and more recently postmaster at Shreve-
port. Judge Schultze served as city judge
of Monroe and is now manager of the
Monroe Adjustment 4 Investment Co. and
has the confidence of the people who
know him. ID. Il. Srowalter, junior past
heal counsel of the Woodmen of the
World and Superintendent of the Ra-
pides Parish schools, is man known and
honored throughout not only the state
but the nation. The other officers are
men Of integrity and high standing in
business as well as social circles.
This company, having a choice location
in the richest oil field in the south, offers
the oil stock buyer Of this company the
assurances of getting oil 80 confidently,
one would think they had learned the
fact from some secret process. This is
a great business and many men are get
ting rich in few days from oil. Near
the Center Field Oil Co. lease one well is
reported making 5000 barrels or about
s., 800 per day. This is more than $780,
600 per month. At this rate company
capitalized at $4,000 could pay 800 per
cent dividends each mouth. This is more
than equal to the profit of the money
spent; when you think of this the expla-
nation OF the Rockefellow fortune is I'M
derstood. a land ownerin the Red river
field received royalties at the rate of $27,-
600 per month, the company holding the
lease was likely getting from $500, 900 to
$50, 900 every thirty days.
Some think of the oil business as a
hazardous gamble; this is the wrong idea
of the oil business. The location and ex-
tent of an oil field is soon known and
experienced men known with reason
able certainty the amount OF oil a well
will produce before it is commenced

TIVE CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION AND
the SCHOOL FUND.

We have, from the first. taken
the position that to change the basis
of apportionment of the public school
fund, from the present basis, which
is the number of educable children
in the State and parish, and base
the apportionment on the average
daily attendance, based on . session
of nine months, would greatly re-
duce the school funds in the par
ishes where the negro population
predominates or where the races are
about equally divided.
We now wish to suggest to the
hill parishes, which have large
white population, that if they will
look carefully into the proposition,
they will find that they will be in
jured Just as much as the black par
ishes, for the reason that many of
the hill parishes have schools for
white children which run only from
three to five months per session, so
that when the funds are apportioned
on the basis OF a nine months term,
they will find considerable reduc-
ton in the amount of funds coming
to their schools from the State APP
preparation.
We urge upon all the hill parishes
to either vote against the conven-
ton or see to it that their delegates
vote against any change in the pres
ent basis of apportionment.

TICKS AND KICKS.

Madison (Tallulah. La.) Journal.)
A few days ago a mass meeting
was held in an adjoining parish, at
which the subject of cattle dipping
was discussed. Reports from this
meeting are to the effect that much
incorporate language was used and
that open war was declared against
the officials who were responsible
for tick eradication.
Madison, having eradicated the
tick, and now being in full enjoy
ment of the benefits that have re-
suited therefrom, feels considerable
interest in the controversy that is
being waged in a neighbOring par
ish. This interest is due in some
measure to selfishness on account of
the fact that cattle from the adjoin-
ing parish to a large extent roam
from one parish to the other and
therefore increase the danger Of re-
injecting this parish.
There were few Madison citizens
who we first opposed to the dipping
system, but such citizens have come
to an appreciation of the value of the
scheme and as a rule they are now
the strongest supporters of the ef-
forts of the officers.
The point we wish to make is
that the officers who have this mat.
ter in charge in other parishes
should ignore the kick of the NAL.
contents and should carry to con.
clusion the scheme of tick eradica-
ton. No public servant should fear
the result of his active support Of
the scheme; for the time will come
when the kicker will he ashamed to
admit that he ever attended an anti.
dipping meeting. Such has been
the history of the war against tick
eradication in Madison and history
will repeat itself in every parish
where the law is made operative.
Tick eradication will make pros.
porous, wholesome citizen out of the
worst kind of a socialist. The &C.
complishment of such u remarkable
result should satisfy the ambition OF
any office-holder. Let the good work
proceed, kicks and threats to the
contrary, Notwithstanding.
