Book CLUB.

The Womans Book Club held its
regular meeting on the 18th with Mrs.
Will Larimer and Mrs. Roy Milum
as hosteSseS at the home of Mrs.
Milum on Ridge Ave.
Roll call was answered with Am |
a Suffragette? Why? There was no
hesitation in opinions expressed and
reasons given except from few who
confessed to being on the fence.
After the able arguments, pro and
con, presented by Mrs. Donna Baker
and Mrs. John d. Tyson, the sdffra-
gettes and ants had gained no
ground, but those on the fence felt
justified in their position.
With music from the Pianola by
Bill jim Milum, delicious refresh
ments served by the hostess, and the
usual half hour social chat, the after
noon was one to be long remembered.
Visitors present were MeSdames
James Reed, Frank Kirby, Newton

TO DRILL FOR OIL AND GAS
Virginia Company viii Sink Well to a
Depth OF ZOO.

At the instance Of {. f. Sarber, rep
senting an oil development compa-
ny, of Parkersburg, Va, some 2500
acres of land in the vicinity of Capps,
four miles west of Harrison, have
been syndicatcd for the purpose of
drilling for oil.
The company will attend to the
drilling, and the machinery has al
ready been ordered to sink the pros
pect hole to depth of at least 2200
feet, unless gas or oil be found in
paying quantities at lesser depth.
Mr.. Sarber, whose experience in
this line covers several oil producing
sections, is sufficiently impressed by
the situation to risk the money of his
company investigating, and should
the venture prove successful it will be
operated by stock company includ-
ing many land owners in that vicinity.
Those who have placed their lands
with the syndicate for this purpose
are J. n. and Jesse Farris, W. 7. Mar
ket, w. A. Markley, Altee Heaton, NJ.

Open Letter OF Guy |. Trimble
Heber Springs, Ark.
March DIST, 1916

| To the Voters of Boone County:
Boone County has not had prose-
cutting attorney for u years; Boone
County has an excellent chance to
elect one at this primary; and Boone
county can, by its votes, make that
assurance doubly sure. Van Buren
County, during this time, has had two
prosecuting attorneys and SIX years of
the twelve.
feel that my personal friends, and
the voters of Boone in general should
know what | have done, in my race to
warrant the statement that | feel,
with a good home vote, that | can
win the race.
have visited all blacksmith shops,
doctors, lawyers, and merchants be-
tween Harrison and Heber; driven
into remote parts of all counties and
seen the farmers: my announcement
appears in every democratic paper in
the district, with one exception, and
in four moving picture houses have
personally seen something like 1000
people; have travelled two thousand
miles: written to every voter in three
of the counties, and many Others in
the other counties and made speeches
over the district. | am said to be the
most widely advertised of
any candidate in the State. These
things | have done because ] want to
be elected.
My opponent has not visited any
county other than in going to and re-
turning from courts. He has announc-
ed in but one paper, his home paper.
have personal support in every
township in this district and reports
received by me indicate that will re-
ceive big vote. My friends in
Boone tell me that Twill get big
vote, but frankly they are not at
work as they should be. Where a
man does not want me elected he has
the right to 50 vote, of course, but in
a fight like | have made my friends
and those who want the Office to come
home should work for me- | have
done my part, and if General Apathy,
a great general, defeats me it will be
because my county does not get out
the vote.
| wish to say that | married in
Boone County and am raising my
family there: never asked Office before
and have made this fight under many
disadvantages: and whatever may be
the result of this race, | will continue
to do, in the future, as | have done
in the past, make an honest living
practicing law.

The committee appointed two
weeks ago to visit Ponca City, New
ton county, with view to co-Operat-

between Harrison and Ponca, made
an extensive report and told of the
organizing of Road Improvement
Clubs at Ponca and several other
points along the road, and the starting
of actual work on the four miles up
kSthe mountain from Ponca. 1t was
= the opinion of the Committee that

Improvement to which this club stood
pledged. On motion a committee
consisting of MeSSrs. Davis, Newman
and Cooke were appointed to carry

date for a general road movement
along the line, the chair appointed as

this event MeSsrs Cooke, Poynor,
Lopp and Casey.

HIGH SCHOOL DEBATE

We had the pleasure of hearing the
the debate between the eighth grade
and first year high school last Friday.
The subject was Resolved that Whis-
key Causes More Sorrow than War. "
Herbert Casteel, Hugh Baum
gardener and Osbourne Garvin repre-
sented the eighth grade on. the
affirmative side, and Lewis Jeter,
Byron House and Lester Birdwell,
the first year high school, on the
negative side. The boys all did well.
Herbert Casteel as leader Of the
affirmative side was equal to the oc-
casion in every way, and in his five
minute rejoinder, answered his op-
ponents in manner that would have
done credit to one much Older than
he. Osbourne Garvin showed con-
siderable dramatic ability and was the
only one to use GESTURES. Hugh Baum
gardner seemed to have the subject
well in mind and presented it in an
able manner. Byron House made his
points clear in few words, Lewis
]eter brought forth the most laughter
by his sense of humor, aud Lester
Birdwell deserved credit for speaking
entirely without notes,
The judges were unanimous in their
decision for the affirmative.

gressors of the laws of society. Just
a glance at our present dOcketS will
show that this idea is taking effect.
Not enough of people o. broad

that the protection and encourage

complish all the things That many
mistakenly expect to proceed directly
from the courts.
