Why She Is Hated.

Governor Whitman said at Il BAN

Germany has the whole world

to change the eternal verities. The
eternal verities-that you mustn't sink
4 hospital ship. that you mustn't muir
der babies, that you mustn't betray
your trusting friends, and SO forth d
80 on-all these things Germany has
tried to change. But she has tried in
vain.
Germany reminds me of the chap
who used to hold out q dollar or two
from his envelope every pay day.
His wife suspected him, and to make
suspicion sure, she got q ready reckon
er to check him UP by.
The next pay day, after consulting
the ready %reckoner, she said:

George turned red.

fusedly, with a cough.

BURKS ENTHUSIASTIC
 OVER OIL WELL PLANS

R. N. Burks, secretary of the Jef- ferson Oil company, returned last night from Shreveport, La, where he completed arrangements with the Richardson Oil company to finish drilling the prospect well of the Jeff ferson company on the Rutherford place, southeast of the city. The Richardson company experts to com plete work on it's well at Faith within the next 10 days, and will take charge at the Jefferson we'll immediately thereafter.
 MT. Burks is most enthusiastic about conditions, as result of his visit to Shreveport and his talks with officers of the Richardson company and of the Standard Oil company of Louisiana. The Standard, he said, is anxious to have some one succeed in opening a new oil field, and is of the opinion that the oil is to be found somewhere in Arkansas, the indica- tions all favoring Jefferson county and this particular section of the state. Recent increases in the value of crude oil were put into effect to induce more prospectors to activity The lowest grade of crude oil is sell ing now at $1.80, against 90 cents three years ago.

AN APPRECIATION
Efficient Work of Miss Julia Houston, Probation Officer, Juvenile
 Court.

Realizing that few of our people are conversant with the splendid work that Miss Houston is doing for her home town and the energy and whole souled earnestness she put ill the work of getting the late general asr sembly to pass the bill and make the appropriation for a state industrial school for delinquent girls, and to transform the boys reform school in to good state industrial school. the juvenile court board feel that they want the public to know of the splen- did work done by this estimable young lady. The number and history of the cases that have been handled, of both girls and boys, since the juvenile court has been established in Jeffer- son county, would fill book and make most interesting reading. Miss Houston iE the early days of her work realized Arkansas was sadly in need
