WANTED-WOMEN TO
SEW FOR REFUGEES

The Mt. Sterling Chapter of the
Red Cross deplores the small num-
Der who are attending the sewing
meetings and feels that the members
do not realize that there is as yet a
great and urgent need for sewing
for the refugees of all the different
countries.
They are returning to their devas-
tated homes now and have not the
garments either for grown people or
children to wear when taking hold
and trying to rebuild their fallen
fortunes. If ever the work was
needed it is now, and it is hoped that
all future meetings will be crowded
with those wanting to sew for these
helpless ones of the devastated part
of the world. The sewing room at
the. Parish House of the Presbyter-
ian Church is open every Tuesday
and Wednesday from 900 a. m. to
4 80 p. m.

$4,000 GALLONS
EVERY "a HOURS
New Well Accepted and Paid For BY
City-COmmittee Measures Flow
And Reported TO Commissioners
This Morning.

Before the City Commission would
accept the new well, a committee OF
citizens composd of b. B. Russell
| W. l.. Smith, Gus Cole and Superin-
tendent Hull Of the power plant, were
selected by the commissioners to in
specet the well and measure the flow
of water.
The committee, on yesterday after
noon, made the inspection and measur-
ed the flow and reported same to the
commissioners this morning. The
flow as measured is $4,000 gallons
for every "a hours, as the pump is
now running on the short stroke. The
supply can be greatly increased by
putting the pump on the long stroke.
1t was the contract that the Carloss
Well Company give the city well
furnishing 175,O0O gallons of water
every "a hours. The test shows that
the well is supplying $4,000 or 49,
600 gallons more water than the con-
tract called for.
The well was accepted and warrant
issued for the payment in full this
morning, when the commissioners held
their meeting at 10 o'clock.

OIL HAS BEEN DISCOVERED
IN LAFAYETTE COUNTY, MISS.
teachings and Seepages of Oil Form
Great Films on Water-Naluable
Iron Found

What is calculated to give Lafayette
County and the Oxford District the
greatest boom in the history of the
South is the discovery of oil and valu-
able iron in the Lafayette Springs dis
trict, about 20 miles east of Ok
ford in Lafayette County.
w. j. Hixson was in the city Tues
day and stated to the writer that he
had succeeded in securing leases on
several thousand acres of land. He
is presenting the lease to the land
owner with the guarantee of develop
ment for half interest in the proper
ty. Hixson is paying all expenses OF
surveying, and other incidental eX-
penses necessary to the development
of absolutely clear titles to the proper
ty.
Mr.. Hixson also stated that great
teachings and seepages of oil were
forming heavy films on the water,
and that vast quantities of salt appear
on the surface of the earth, all OF
which, he says, are genuine lndlca-
tions of oil, and it is believed that 1t
can be develoed in great quantities at
a reasonable depth and little cost.
We might add here that Mr.. HlXson
is an expert prospector and mineral
ogist, and he knows what he Is talk
ing about.
1t has developed without question OF
doubt that rich mines Of manganlter-
Gus iron in paying quantltle can be had
on these lands and Mr.. HiXson stated
that efforts to get railroad bullt IN
that section were being made, and that
the developments thus far were salts
factory. 1t is believed that within
the next six months oil wells will have
beeen deyelspeG ..t.d teat the neN' 4'ajl-
road will be in course of construction
Hixson stated that within the next
year oil in paying quantities would be
hauled on the new railroad or plped
from these fields.
Hixson has been in this reuiory for
about three monhs and has been active
in his operations. His reluctancy IN
giving out information is noticeable,
but a spirit of optimism is visible on
the countenances Of ev"ry Cne coming
from that neighborhCod.
Hixson stated 10 your representa-
tive that he had beer over the Hlggln-
bothem, Goolsby, Vinsol and Sneed
lands ard that they were rich with
these valuable minerals.
The proposed route Ct the new rail
road is from Tupelo, Pontotoc, Toeco-
pola, Lafayette Springs, Oxford and
on to Memphis by the way of Harmon
town. This road will develop fine
section of territory and tie tonnage
of haul should be of sufficient induce
ment to guarantee the early compile
ton of the road.

OXFORD HAS PLENTY
OF GOOD WATER
New Well Installed and Is Yielding
Forth An Abundance of Pure Clear
Water. Big Improvement in
Light Service.

At last!
Oxford has plenty of water.
And the service at the power plant
is improving.
We are glad to announce that Ok
ford is now being supplied with an
abundance of pure water, flowing from
the new we'll which has just been
completed. The second we'll (the old
welD is being recased and put in first
class condition to be used in case any
thing should happen to the new well.
we are reasonably sure that what
has been great handicap to the
town for the past two months will
never happen again. Everything is
being done to prevent the reoccurrence
of water famine, as we will have
two wells up town and one we'll at the
plant, making three wells available.
This news will be hailed with much
Joy, as the people have been paying
| lOI SUIIlclIllIlS CHCy WSiS INV hS~NA '''o o
Of course we had little water, but
not enough for all purposes. The
supply we did get was from Mr..
Lee Baggett's ice plant, and was good.
He has one of the best wells in the
county, and one which would be ample
to furnish all Oxford in water, with
the proper equipment. The town is
under many obligations to this liberal,
big hearted gentleman, Lee Baggett-
he saved the town. = Es
With the ample supply of water
comes better service at the light plant.
Superintendent Hull is certainly max
ing good on the job. When he took
the plant over it was in an almost
wrecked condition. He said he could
put it up on an efficient basis, and ne
is making good his word.

CONGRESS VOTES END
OF DAYLIGHT SAVING
Senate Records 56 TO 6 While House
Vote 233 To 1872 in Poll.
Effective in October.

Washington, June 18.-DOom OF
the daylight saving, inaugurated as a
war measure, was pronounced today
by Congress, both Senate and House
adopting by overwhelming vote meas
ures to terminate operation of the law
when the period of summer time ends
next October.
The House, following three hours
debate, by vote of 233 to 122, passed
bill to repeal the law on the last
Sunday in next October, but rejected
an amendment to make the repeal eff
| fective at once.
The Senate, by a vote Of Sc to g.
after brief discussion, added rider
to the agricultural appropriation bill
providing for repeal of the daylight
bill on the same date fixed by the
House bill.
| The Senate measure now goes tG
conference with the agricultural bill
and the House bill is to be sent to the
Senate. 1t is considered likely that
the Senate amendment will be finally
substituted for the House measure
Action of Congress therefore mean:
continuation of the present clock time
this summer and early fall with re-
turn to sun time Oct. 26, ending twt
years operation of the daylight saw
ing plan.
Members of both Senate and House
in advocating repeal Of the law enact
ed March 19, 1918, said they wer'
guided largely by wishes of farmer
and laboring mer who oppose the ad
vanced working hours during tn
spring and summer season. Opponent
of the repeal legislation declared tn
extra hour of daylight was boon t
lefty dwellers and asserted that other
easily could adjust their affairs t.
conform to the advanced clock sched
Iule.
