The District Conner cial Manager of the Southwest Telephone and Telegraph Com pany, of Fort Smith was present with three of the chief operators of Fort Smith, while the follow ing other towns were represent ed: Clarksville, Coal Hill, Paris, Bonneville, Branch, Greenwood and Altus.
 Three cars left here Wednes- day morning driven by Taylor Hyden, Orkney Milton and R. l.. Swindler for Charleston, carry ing the employees of the company the Misses Lacy Felker. Flor ence Warner, Willie Wagoner, Helen Davis, Jamie King, Ira Hofstetter, wire chief. and Miss Alma Roach, stenographer, of Ozark, and Miss Sula Cheek and Mrs. Moss Douglass, of Altus.
 A kind of special picnic aside from the regular picnic was given the operators. All took dinner and a delicious and sump- tuous spread was made at the noon hour. There were about forty in the party, and all report and excellent time.

Drillers Still En- thusiastic Over
 Prospects for Oil
Expect t o Sink McDonough No. 2 to Depth of 5000 Feet if Necessary---Oil Indications Said to be Good.

The No. l we'll of the Travel ers' Oil and Gas Company, on the J. K. Ford farm in section 29-9-N continues to produce gas in what might be termed com mercial quantities, according to reports received here. At last reports the we'll was 12S0 feet and the flow of gas was increas- ing. At a considerable slighter depth a flow of salt water was struck and at a slightly greater depth a black shale was pene- trated. Indications for oil are said to be excellent. It is re- ported that the gas caught fire one day last week and that the flames burned to the top of the derrick. but were quickly extin- guished. The drill was still in the porous sand Wednesday.

 Drillers expect to go to a depth of 5000 feet if necessary, but it is feared that cave-ins may prevent the attaining of that depth. Geologists are confident that a flow of oil will be struck if the well be drilled to at least $500 feet. The latest report stated that the drill was out of the black shale and into hard sand.

Arkansas Guard Ordered to Move
 Nearer Borde CT
Win Depart Soon For Deming. New Mexico, on Orders from General Funston--W er Question May Delay.

COl. Henry SCrOupe commando CT of the camp of the Arkansas National Guard at Fort Roots received altelegram Sunday from General M ajor Funston. or- dering the Arkansas guard to move at once to Deming, N. M. The telegram requested that Col. Stroupe at once advise Gen. eral Funston when the guards men could start.
 All companies of the two regi- ments stationed at the camp have been given their new equip ment.
 Eight Train Sections.
 The regiments will travel in six sections of passenger cars and two sections of baggage cars. Enlisted men will travel in tour ist sleepers. Officers will be given standard pullman sleeping cars.
 An officer at the camp said it is probable the two Arkansas regiments will be put in a bri- gade with a regiment from some other state when they reach Deming. It is also rumored that a U. s. army officer will be placed in command of the bri- gade. Strenuous efforts have been made by Arkansas resi- dents to have Adjt. Gen. Lloyd England named to this office.
 Deming Ideally Located.
 Deming is high, over 1000 feet. It has about 2,000 popula- tion. The air is dry and the district is in the heart of a belt recommended to bring relief from tuberculosis. The United State colony for treatment of this disease at Crystal Springs is within 100 miles of Deming. Colds are almost unknown after persons become acclimated, and appetites develop enormously due wholly to the invigorating weather conditions. Days are warm the year around, although an occasional mortimer" brings snow out of the mountains. These snows are few and they never cover the ground. Nights are always cool-enough to make blankets almost a necessity -and breezes, nearly always stiff" ones. blow continually. There seldom is rain in the Deming district. The Mimbres river flows through the town.
 A later order was to the effect that water supply had not been completed at Deming and it was Ninted that the soldiers would not be moved for probably sev- eral days or weeks yet.
 Flag is Presented.

Tick Case to be Heard in Denning
 Court, Thursday
Justice of the Peace l.. s. Car ter. of Hogan Township, to Try Case of State Against Polk Rider.

The case of the State of Ark ansas versus Polk Ridder, of Wittich township, which was taken from Justice Townsend's jurisdiction on a charge of venue and later dismissed in Justice Laws court is expected to come up for hearing in Justice L. s. Carter's court in Hogan town ship Thursday. Immediately after the dismissal of case by the state in Judge Laws court, Judge Carter issued a warrant for the re-arrest of Rider.
 Johnson Farmer Fined.
 After deliberating only few minutes jury in u i ce court last week at Clarks- vile convicted k. s. Parsons of violating the cattle dipping law and fined hirp $150, said to be the heaviest punishment inflicted under the new law. It was the first case of it's kind in Johnson county.
 Greenwood Judge Upholds.
 The state law providing for the eradication of the cattle tick in Sebastian and other counties in this section of the state by making it compulsory upon own CTS of cattle to dip their cattle when notified by the government inspectors, was held to be con- stitutional last Saturday by Judge Paul Little. The grand jury had indicted Jerome Morris, of Central, charging him with failure to dip his cattle after being notified by the inspector so to do, and it was contemplated to make a test case of this in- dictment to secure a ruling from the supreme court.
 When Morris appeared in court Saturday morning he abandoned his plan to test the law and en- tered his plea of guilty, Judge Little fined him $50, which was suspended upon his complying with the rules and regulations of the board in the future. In passing upon the constitutional ity of the law Judge Little stated that even though test case was instituted he intended having the law enforced while the case was pending in the higher court.
 'As long as the law is on the statute books it is the duty of peace officers to enforce the law against murder, robbery or any other crime" Judge Little said.
 Judge Little is the first circuit judge in Arkansas to pass upon the constitutionality of the act.
 Clayton to Assist.
 June P. Clayton, local attor- ney, has been employed by the Board of Control of the Agricul- tural Department to assist in the enforcement of the tick eradica- tion law in Franklin county.
