Of the AshdOwn High SchOOl-HfstOry
 of the Society. {
Rose Sanderson, Reporter.

The Wilsonian Literary Society was organized October 5, 191S.,At this
 meeting only temporary officers were 1 elected, but on Nov. 21, 1918, perma=
 nent officers were elected. These of
 Heres consist of president, vice.
 president, a secretary, a treasurer, a
 critic and sergeant-at-arms. When the school first become in- terested in literary work, there were two societies, one for the boys and one for the girls Later these societies Iwere reorganized, the membership of
 each consisting of both boys and girls. This plan was followed until the pres ent year when, on account of lack of interest and owing to the decrease in
 membership, the societies united as
 one and assumed the present name.
 The Wilsonian Society meets every Wednesday afternoon at, 3:30. Pro- grams on such subjects that may train the minds of the members are render ed A great deal of effort is put forth to make the programs interesting and inspiring but more inspiration might be added if outsiders would visit the
 socety occasionally and take part in ! our programs.
 A brief sketch of the Wilsonian So- ciety will appear weekly in the Little
 River News in order that the people
 of Ashdown may have an idea of what the high school students are doing in a literary way.

The F. NJ. F. Club Entertatns.

Wednesday evening, January 22nft was looked forward to with joyous anticipation by the members of thl' F.. M. F. Club. Why not? They weri' to be entertained at Edgewood by Mrf Norman, Mrs. Pearl Orton and MlS Blanche Norman. To the people q Ashdown that is sufficient guarantel of a felicitous occasion.
 Seven o'clock found these memberb of the club as guests at Edgewood:
 Judge and Mrs. Lon T. Jones.
 MT. and Mrs. c. A. Bishop.
 MT. and Mrs. Grover Cobb

 After a few greetings the curta!nI eto the dining room were thrown bacI and the members of the club sough| eleefully their place cards. The tabli was decorated with ferns and lighted with candles on the old-time candid sticks that linked the old to the new A delicious three course dinner was served but when Suzanne the waitress brou eht in a platter of fried chickens tbet reached the top of those candle sticks the "Jedge' got beside himself| and if his mother had been there, scenes of early childhood would havd been re-enacted. Suzanne, very black except around her eyes, mouth and the tips of her fingers, was very much complimented and sought after by all the guests, until her mistress private lv informed them that she was very uncertain and changeable, even going so far as to change her color at times.
 Being too full for uterance the club was quiet for an hour after dinner and then the spirit of the occasion came back with all it's gleefulness The victrola bursts forth it's melodies from every land and sea. The club sang for an hour, songs, 0 ana new of peace and of war, and these were interspersed by fine exhibitions ot the classic dance by the two comedians Mir.

SEEK DOG TAX AND
 TICK ERADICATION
Hive Stock Growers Will Ask Legis. iature for these Two Measures Meeting Is Held
 Here.

Little Rock, Jan. 30.-Members of the Executive Committee of the Ar kansas Live Stock Association at a meeting here yesterday voted unanims ously to work for the passage of tn: bill which would appropriate $100,000 for tick eradication work in Arkansas during the next two years. The com mittee members also agreed to work for the passage of law placing a state tax on dogs.
 The meeting was held in the office of Dr. R. M. Cow, state veterinarian who is secretary of the live stock as- sociation.
 ''If the legislature makes this ap- propriation, Arkansas practically will be free from the destructive cattle tick by the end of the two years" ;" said Dr. Cow. "At the end of this year practically all of the state will be tick free with the exception of nine counties, which will be cleaned up during 1920. At the present 55 of the 75 counties of the state are not entirely tick free, although several of these 55 are nearly free. Work during the last year was greatly ham, dicapped by war conditions. It was difficult to secure both labor and ma terials Last year it cost $11:20 to charge a dipping vat; now it can be done for $641.
 There is no question as to the inn portance of this work; it has been shown repeatedly that the farmers of the state suffer an enormous Joss from the tick which kills many ani- mals each year while tick-infeste ed cat. tie are greatly discrimin2ted sgainst in all markets"
 Senator Cazort's appropriation bill has been read twice in the Sslnate and now is in the hands of tte Budget Committee.
 New Dog Bill Planned.
 The stock men were unanlmOuSly ln favor of tax on dogs. Several bills on this subject now are before the legislature. An effort is being made to combine all the best features of these bills in a new measure. Many of the stock men present said that dog owners of their communities favor a state tax on dogs because they be- lieve this will rid the state of worth less, diseased CUTS that are a menace to all valuable canines.
 The meeting was attended by five well-known stock men from southern Arkansas, who are not members of the committee, but who came to Little Rock to urge the committee members to make vigorous campaign for the tick eradication and dog tax bills, both of which, they declared, are greatly needed in their section. These were: J. l.. Profit and c. F. Var brough of Camden, s. A. Owens, of Millville, w. l.. Dickinson, Bearden, and J. D. McClerkin of Stephens.
 J. D. Eldredge of Gregory, presi- dent of the live stock association, pre- sided over the meeting. Other mem- bers of the Executive Committee, who were present were: M M. Rutherford of Sulphur Rock, Lester Black of Dewitt, Judge w. F. Tate of Camden, J. A. Whitaker of Selma and R. E. Rapp of McGehee.
 Senator Cazort also attended the meeting

GREAT ACTIVITY IS
APPARENT IN THE
DUKE OIL FIELDS

DUBLIN. Tex. March 11.--CspeciaD.
Sixteen miles northwest OF Dublin is
the Duke oil field from which SO much
sensational news is now emanating.
Dublin IS at the junction Of the NJ K
& T. railroad and the Frisco railroad.
The Duke field is located in the
northeast part Of Comanche county
and about 20 miles across country and
southeast Of the Ranger field.
From wells recently brought IN the
adjoining counties Of Stephens and
EastIand, where oil pipe line transpor-
tation is available. the amount OF OIL
marketed is now $4,000 barrels q day.
As matter OF comparison the famous
Goose Creek Eusher field In southern
Texas. which has made 60 many mil
Iionaires during the last few years,
has = production Of only 25.o00 barrels
a day.
Tbs first vel brought IN IN the
Duke field was BY the Magnolia OIL
company, absolutely upon q Wild cat
drilling. II Is known as the Magno-
liza Duke No. snd Is producing $500
barrels per day
Prominent among the companies
with extensive holdings in the Duke
field is the Duke OF Dublin OIL com
pzny, which takes its name from the
fact that prominent land owners and
substantial business men at Dublin
have secured three choice tracts Of
land and combined them in the com
pany at the small capitalization OF
S100,0 600 for actual production Of oil
as a business. These properties are
located near the Knowles gusher and
other famous Duke wells. The com
pauy is composed Of practical and eZ-
perienced oil men and successful bust
ness men which is assurance to the
investors an able and efficient man
agement with regulations Of being as
ISOLATED only with square deal enter
prises.
The Duke Of Dublin officials state
that most Of the 100000 shares Of the
stock has already been placed: in
fact there remains less than 10000
