The Graphic Arranges Willard

Although the great arena at Toledo
where Jess Willard and Jack Demp-
sey will attempt to get together for
dozen rounds on the Fourth Of July
will be packed with thousands of
people, there are still of lot of us
around here who will not be among
those present.
But just because we're not there
that doesn't mean that we're not
going to get the big doings right
from the ring side.
The Graphic will get the fight
round by round from an Associated
Press wire direct from the ring side,
and arrangements have been made to

and as fast as the operator can take

S. G.. Eagle, Associated Press
operator in The Graphic will have
the local end of the big fight in
charge, and his excellent service as
manager of The Graphic's baseball
score board is an assurance that the
fight service will be good.
The fight will start in Toledo at

FOR YOUNG
AVIATION OFFICER
WERE GROUNDLESS
Graphic Men Had Visions OF
Wrecked Machine When
Query Came.

Pine Bluff was the hostess, I'M
awares, to young army flyer Thurs
dav, who provided The Graphic with
GOOD story-almost. The aviator
was missing, all right, but he was
safe and unframed, and another story
was hung on the hook.
Here's the way it happened:
A telegraph query was received at
The Graphic Thursday night from
Monticello, asking if the whereabouts
of one Lieutenant Hartman, of Eberts
field, who had been flying at Month
cello, were known. The query stated
that the officer had left Monticello
Thursday and was to come to Pine
Bluff for some spare parts which ne
needed, and was to arrive at a o'clock.
It was then o'clock, and he had not
returned. Monticello was worried.
1t was known that Lieutenant john
son, from Eberts Field, had been
playing over the city, as an enter
tainment for the boys and girls of the
county agricultural clubs, but nothing
was known of the presence here of
another aviator. It was then that
the good story began to develop
Strangely, it's always bad news, but
good news story, when an aviator
falls, or becomes lost, or is forced to
land
A long distance call to Eberts Field
however, dissipated any idea of a good
story. The lieutenant had arrived at
Eberts Field safely, not being able to
get spare parts here, and was unable
to go back that afternoon. Assur-
ance was especially made to the
people of Monticello that the officer
was safe.
Now, here is the rest of it, and
here is why it was said that Pine
Bluff was hostess to the officer.
Lieutenant Hartman and Lieutenant
Billiter, stopped at Pine Bluff seek
ing the parts and while here were
guests of Miss Virginia McGaughy,
an old friend to both the officers.

ment, the oil interests are trying to
get the world powers to enforce all
the agreements which they made with
Diaz by fraud and force against the
Mexican people.
The total taxes which the oil inter.
ests paid into the Mexican treasury in
1918 were 100000, much under what
either England or the United States
would have levied had the wells been
in their territory. They object even
to this mild taxation and even more
to tax policy which would force oil
fields held idle for speculation into use
and which they style as confiscation.
Holding Up the World.
Their objection to taxes to cut down
speculative holdings has more than
local significance. Russia and Rou-
mania are out of the oil market for
some time to come and consequently
the world depends very largely on
Mexican oil. The British fleet appears
to be absolutely dependent on it. In
1918 less than half of the possible Mex
lean production was put on the market.
The wells were drilled, capped and
kept idle. By cutting down the Next

line and other products.
Mexico would take back the oil land
not being developed, would levy higher
taxes on oil produced and on oil re-
serves not used to bring them into
use, and would do some refining under
state management. Such steps are
necessary if the country's prosperity
is not to be greatly handicapped.
A Great Oil Field.
With production artificially kept
down, evidently to control the mar
ket, the Mexican oil wells produced
100000 barrels in 1918. The coun-
try has one of the great oil deposits
of the world, ranking with those of
Russia, Roumania and the United
States, and the Mexican oil appears to
be especially adapted to the crude oil
burning engines such as are used on
the new oil-burning ships.
Of the total production in 1918, the
Ell Aguila (known as the Lord Cow.
dray interests) exported over 10000
900 barrels, besides local sales. It's
gross profits were $29,117,1OO, and it's
net profits $14,859,9O0. The company
paid total tax of only $1,SS7,510.

According to the figures of the De.

flgure being placed at $3.50 per acre.

California at $122, and Indiana at 500.
Alabama reports the lowest average
value Of pillow land, $24 per acre, and
Mississippi the next lowest, S25. so per
acre. Iowa pillow land is reported as
having increased from an average
value OF $135 per acre in 1915 to s169
in 1919; Illinois from s115 in 1916 to
$144 in 1919, and Indiana from sS4 in
1916 to 800 in 1919.
The great increase in speculative
prices Of farm lands over their actual
present earning values, keeps would
be land owning farmers from buying

the increase is burden to him be-
