A Brinkley Boy Writes From the Pacific
 Coast.

San Diego, Calif., July 23. 1917 Mr.. Wm. B. Folsom,
 Brinkley, Ark.
 We'll, here I am out in South ern California where they raise oranges, lemons and olives and where the climate can't be beat.
 From where I live 1 can look out over the beautiful San Diego Bay and by walking two or three blocks l can see some of Uncle Sam's great battleships and now and then a submarine, laying along side of a big battleship. 1 see several hundred of our brave boys lined up on the forward deck of the big ship and when 1 look up over the hay in the azure blue I count 21 of Uncle Sam's big areroplanes sailing around. Some are only 50 or 75 feet from the water appearantly and some are so high that they look about the size of a black bird.
 When I go out to the old Ex- position Park 1 see many thou sand soldiers and sailors at drill. It is a pretty sight just to sit and look at these boys and then think that any moment word may be flashed from Washington to those dear mothers sons to go to the front at once. Makes one's heart heavy, even if he hasn't friend in the army or navy.
 We'll, Mir. ARGUS Man, what is the trouble with the Sunshine Special?" Won't she go any more? Try to get her out, and make another cross country trip and then tell us about it, for wife and 1 enjoy reading about your trips very much. l have been all oyer that country my self and sure love to read about 1t.
 What has become of our old friend, Prof. Ferguson, of Red lands, Calf? I lived at Redlands and have visited all the places he spoke of in his letter to the ARGUS.
 would like to see list of the drafted men in Monroe county and see how many of my old chums are drafted. l have es- capped the draft solar.
 Good-by for this time.
 Ernest Folsom.

fore Judge Emory Speer to amend
the original bill by making the per
manent administrators parties to the
litigation with the zadoc Smith heirs
20 exclude Lonnie Builard, one Of the
Zadoc Smith claimants, VINO claims to
Louisiana.
The amendment was opposed by
counsel representing the Zadoc Smith
claimants, who moveC 10 dismiss the
bill on the ground that there is
diverse citizenship and therefore the
United States court is without juris-
diction.
Following the arguments the case
was taken under Amusement by Judge
Speer, who will announce his decision
later.
The motion to strike the name Of
Lonnie Bullard from the list Of de-
PENDANTS was made on the grounds
that he claims in the original bill that
he is a resident of the state of Louis
lana, the same state where most Of
the Jennings claimants live. The Jen-
nings claimants want United States
court TO proceed with the case to de
termine the true set of heirs and to
have the real estate turned over to
TIC heirs, if the administrators do
moi reed ii to settle debts of the state,
The real estate comprises the larger
Uart of the estate and was appraised
