FROM LESTER LEWIS

Eberts Field, Lonoke, Ark. July Is, 1919. MT. Fletcher Lewis,
 McCrory, Ark.
 Dear dad: As I am not very busy this morning thought I would write you a few lines. I guess you saw about the accident down at Little Rock the other day, that Lieut.. Lanahan was kill ed. Was up for a forty min uto ride with him two days be- fore that happened. Have been up five times since l have been over here. Went up with the major the other day. It took us just eight minutes to go eight thousand feet in the air and believe me, you sure do get cold when you go way up in the coulds. We circled about the field for about ten minutes and then made a bee line for Little Rock. Took my kodak

Mr. W. w. Raney'
 Fditor E5 Home News,
 Dear Sir:
 D 0f the Woodruff county men uho made the supreme sacri- Scp Gl during the World War, inc inc following are within my knowledge: nn
 vorlin Prince, Will Anderson, George Looney, Alpha Autry, and Clarence Poe.
 believe that every good cltl zen in Woodruff county would like to show evidence of his appreciation for the sacrifices made by these men. @
 I suggest that an appropri- ate way to evidence the appre- ciation of Woodruff county's dead heroes, is a Memorial, erected at whatever place the majority of the families of the above soldiers wish it erected and appropriately inscribed so as to make everlasting the memory of Woodruff county's men who gave everything.
 The County Quorum Court will, I am sure, be glad to make an appropriation for this purpose. Every citizen in the county will be glad of an op- portunity to contribute some thing, and l am sure all they are waiting for is the oppor- tunity to show their apprecia- ton in some way for the sacri- fees of the men who did offer their all and their all was talk en.
 l don't know whether or not l am the proper one to make this suggestion but someone has to take the iniative and I decided to suggest the matter through the columns of your paper and hold myself in read mess to contribute or go before |the Quorum Court or assist in ] any way that was called up- on to in doing something that would cause the above men to De glad could they see that they were gratefully remem- oered by the home people for whom they died.
 Cordially, R. M. HUTCHINS.

RECEIVE DIVIDENDS
 ON OIL INVESTMENT

Messrs J. H. Crossett and c. C.. McCrory and Mrs. Lou Nc Fall received letters Thursday from the Liberty Sulphur and Oil Co.,, enclosing check for their dividends on oil stock held in the above company of which MT. Crossett is presi- dent.
 The dividends paid at this timo are the third quarterly dividends paid this year with another to be paid in Septem- Der.
 The company has two pro- ducing wells and the dividends are being paid on the products of tho first we'll. Two other vel Is are under construction and stock in the above com- pany is selling above par. We are glad to know that some of our people are receiv- ing benefits from their oil in- vestments and hope others who have purchased stock in other companies will soon be receiv- ing their dividends.
 The above named citizens, are some of our best business people and the fact that the company of which MT. Crosset is president is paying it's stock holders quarterly dividends is both a compliment to himself and to thosa who have invest led so wisely with him.
 MT. E. w. Clancy, local agent with the Arkan-Tex Oil Co.,, who has sold stock for the T. & A., Pan Texas, and Arkansas Bankers, states that stock in all the above compa- nies is quoted at two for one or better. He also predicts that as soon as Arkan-Tex is sold out, it likewise will sell at. "a premium. Don't wait too long as it is going fast and will soon be gone. With 30 acres in the Desdamona field, flow ing wells all around, they are sure of large productions and handsome dividends on their investment. See his ad in this paper.

FREAK IS PRODUCED
 BY HORTICULTURIST

FINDLAY, Ohio, Aug. i (by maiD. An apple tree bearing thirty-two kinds of apples and six of pears has been produced by Henry Flater, of this city, after years of experiment. ing.
 The tree, declared by experts to be one of the most exceptional horticul- tural wonders ever produced, was the last of the famous Vance orchard. When Flater went to work on it the trunk was decayed in a number of places. Limbs were dead and farm CTS declared it never would yield again.
 Filling the holes with cement and bracing the broken limbs with chains, Flater grafted on a number of kinds of apples. Year after year he added new gratis until this summer the tree is giving more than three dozen kinds of fruit.
 The tree is more than seventy-five years old and is bearing apples from early summer until late fall.
