4Yes, dad?'
!, 3Well, William, my. boy, old Penny
packer at the bank has turned against me,
as | was afraid he would, and shall have
to close up the store. Every cent we've
got is in that business, Will; and when
the business goes-why, then the money
goes too, of course"
Master William buttered another slice
of bread and inquired cheerfully: aWhat
are you going to do now, dad?"
4That's just it, said his mother eagerly.
@Of course, your fathers getting on in
years, Willy. You must remember he's
been battling with the world ever since
he was younger than you are. But I've
been telling him that you and he ought to
be able to start in something-and, what
with your young heart and his wise head,
I'm sure | don't see why you shouldn't
get along"
"Why, sure!' said young Bill. aIt's
easy enough to make money. All you've
got to do is to think out good scheme,
and then work like the dickens on it..
ais that SOP queried old Bill. aWell;
what particular scheme have you in mind
right now?"
lessly. But | guess it wouldn't take me
long to think out few"
"Well, I'll tell you what to do, Willy
said old Bill, looking very wise. aYou
think up scheme a something you
and / could handle. Remember: we'll
have to start without capital and without
store-in fact, with nothing but our two
selves and the blue sky. And it's going
to take some thinking
THE next day young William spent his

Dad, do you know how many houses there
are in the United States, to say nothing Of
barns and other out-buildings?s
Old Bill shook his head
"Well, I'll tell you. There are fifteen
million houses in the United States. Now!
What do all those houses need every five
years? What does this house need right
now-in the very worst way?'
"a coat Of paint?r timidly suggested his
mother.
@Yes, sir!' cried Bill, Jr. 3You've said
it! Fifteen million houses in the United
States, and every one will need painting
before 1921. That's three million houses
that need painting every year. Well, now,
here's the scheme Wen call ourselves

charge our members twenty-five cents
week. Every five years we'll paint their
houses without further charge. Horse

$50. See the point? By collecting q
quarter week for FIVE years, we take in
$65; but when we paint the house we
only spend $50. That's SIS profit to us,

BERRIES SCARCE,
 PRICE IS GOOD

The perversities which have beset those who have been endeavoring to encourage the growth of strawberries in the vicinity of Conway is strik- ingly shown in the situation this year, when, with the smallest acreage in five or six years, the price and de- mand are better than they have been during the same length of time. On- ly about 35 acres of berries are being cultivated in the Conway vicinity this year, not enough for carload shipments, and although a few grow CTS are making express shipments, these are not nearly so profitable as the carload consignments. Two car loads of berries shipped from the Judsonia district last week netted the growers $4 per crate at the cars, or over $2,000 per car. Express shipments of berries here last week brought $3 net, but $2 to $2.25 is the best price this week. Two or three years ago, with over 100 acres grown to berries in this section, an amount sufficient for daily carload shipments, the price dropped as low as 75 cents per crate and since that time acreage here has gradually been reduced.

FOURTH BIG WELL W|DENS GAS FIELD WILDCAT CO.'S STRIKE ArOuses More Enthusiasm in Craw- ford County Than Since Dis-
 cOvery of Gas.
tan Buren ess-Argus, May 2.

Van Buren Press-Rrgus, May 2.
 While the Wildcat Gas and Oil Company did not begin taking leases until after the discovery well was completed, they were the first to bring in a second big well, although it is believed that the Crow Oil and Gas Company will be but a few days behind them with two wells.
 Wildcat No. 2, which makes the fourth well that is producing above 10 million daily, was brought in Sat udray evening at o'clock just as they were about to shut the plant down until Monday morning. The well was expected to come in any time Saturday, and as the small flow did not increase during the en- tire day, it looked discouraging and the reports phoned during the day did not bring much hope to thise who were waiting.
 Gerald Creekmore of the com pany went to the well early Satur- day morning and remained through out the entire day and was prepar- ing to get in his care and leave for home, when the driller in charge yell ed to his fellow workman and Mr. Creekmore. The experienced driller heard the roaring gas almost from the time the big strike was made and by the time all had reached a place of safety there was cloud of dust and gas shooting high into the air.
 Sunday being an ideal day for motoring, there was a constant pass ing of automobiles between Van Buren and the well, which appeared stronger Sunday evening than when first brought in. The work of pack ing the well was commenced this morning and they anticipate but lit tie trouble in doing so unless the pressure is much stronger than esti- mated.
 This well widens the field a mile and lengthens it half mile, conse- Quently there is more enthusiasm over the prospects for a big field than at any time since the discovery was made The Wildcat company will decide on the site for their No. 3 we'll today and will have their der rick up with as little loss of time as possible.
 Crow well No. ? just outside the city limits of Van Buren is due to come in before the middle of the week and their No. 3 well that is in the proven Kibler field will probably be brought in before the end of the week
