A PuIaskian Pioneer.

Mr.. ]. K. Winkler, who is past sew
enty-four, has had standing invita-
ton of over a year to me to spend the
night with him and I did Tuesday
night. In 1851 his father moved from
Tennessee and settled about a half
mile east of Cabot, where he erected
a large tobacco barn and proceeded
to rates the filthy weed very success
fully. It did equally as well as in
Tennessee, though the worms were
worse. He raised it successfully for
a number Of years. The present Mr.
Winkler settled on the place where
lie now lives when he married and the
present crop was his 1lfty-second crop
on this place. In his early days game
was exceedingly plentiful. The trail
of the game from the Ozark noun
tains to the lowlands and MISSISSIPPI
pi valley in the southeast part of tie
state passed right near the corner of
his yard, possibly not over ten steps
away. Across it in a ravine at that
point his son, the present owner of
the place, has built a dam for his
water system. He would sit in his
house and watch large droves OF deer
and other game pass and never offer
to shoot at them. The largest herd
he ever saw pass was-well he said
he quit telling about it when the last
witness, Mr.. Herrin, to see them
finally died Finally he said there
we're three hundred in the herd One
morning his wife came into the house
before breakfast and told him there
was a deer standing out there and
she would like to have a piece of it.
Fl got his gun, stepped out Of the
door and killed it without ever going
out of the yard.
He had four brothers in the Civil
war, but was not in himself, because
his father was a personal friend Of
the CONSUMPTION officer He was per-
mitted to remain at home and help
take care of the family
When he first visited Little Rock
there we're only two stores and a
lot Of little stands there, the town
being at that time on the north side
of the river. The river was very mar.
row, not over one hundred and fifty
feet and he had no trouble throwing
stones across it. After that there

"The whole land has been lying
fallow for centuries--a land that
modern exploration reveals as sone of
the richest in natural resources and as
unsurpassed by its geographic location
for being the trade center OF the world.
Exclusive of Arabia, which was
never more than nominally under the
Ottoman dominion, the Turkish EN-.
pire embraced about $4,000 square
miles of territory at the beginning OF
the world war. Only about 10000
square miles of this were in Europe.
The Turkish empire was equivalent to
the combined areas Of the Britfsfr
Isles, France, and pre-war Germany.
1t was larger than all Of the area east
of the Mississippi and north of the
Ohio and Potomac rivers.
i "The Boundaries were the Black
Sea and Caucasus on the north, Egypt
on the south. the Aegean and Mediter-
reanean seas on the west, and the
Syrian desert and Persia on the east,
Turkey in Europe was almost a
negligible area, as the, Balkan wars
stripped the Turks OF all their Euro
pean possessions except Constantine
pie and a narrow territory along the
Bosporus and >Dardanelles some 40
miles in width; so that when the Turk
ish empire has been referred TO in
recent years, Asiatic Turkey was all
that the term embraced, except the
city Of Constantinople and a small
amount Of adjacent territory. \
Roughly speaking. Turkey was d.
yided into five great provinces. iorsdIa-
trtcts-Antolia. Armenia Kurdistan.
Mesopotamia, and Syria" ~

THE NEAR EAST OF NOW
Dismembered Turkey Subject for Re-
organization.

Now that there Is hope of turning
aside from the horrors of misrule, in
justice, deportations, massacres, and
famines, out Of wonderful past one
may construct vision Of more
glorious future for the land of the
Turk" says a bulletin issued today by
the National Geographic Society.
The bulletin. based on a commune
cation to The Society from William
H. Hall. continues:
1.-THE land of Turkey looks out on
the present from a historic past that
is the study of all ages. Out Of that
past speaks military power and ma
terial wealth. literature and art, phil
osophy and religion. And that land
which today lies desolate, with its
marvellous natural resources neglected,
and it's people, who were the glory of
the past, repressed by injustice, cruel
ty and tyranny-the land possesses to-
day the same elements that made II
the first to develop a modern civillza-
tion.
"The same broad plain- that once
fed and clothed population Of 40,-
100000 human beings are waiting to-
day for the plow. the seed and the
reaper. The mountains still hold
riches Of coal and iron and copper.
The quarrles still have abundance Of
choice marbles. The rivers are potent
with power to turn the wheels of In
duotry. The natural harbors invite the
fleets of merchantmen and the river
valleys and mountain passes offer
natural lines of communication and
transportation, as in the days when
great caravans passed along these
natural highways, bringing the mer-
chandise of the east to the markets Of
tho west. i'a4

Small Company in Texas Field Makes
 Its Men Millions

Fort Worth, Sept 13.-Big com panies are not getting all of the money out of the West Texas oil fields. The Hog Creek Oil company organized with a $6O,00O capital in 1917, before Ranger had been heard of as an oil town, held 5000 acres near Desdemona. It was made up of Dr. B. H. Turner and B. J. Johnson of Midlothian and J. w. Carruth of Desdemona. Almost a year ago the company sold 1000 acres to the mag nolia Petroleum company for $780, 900, cash and with contract which has netted it $1,000,000 more
 Since that time would-be purchas- CTS have bounded the officers of the Hog Creek company. A short time ago they were notified to put their bids for the remaining 2,000 acres into writing. They did so. The bids ranged from $6,000,000 to $8,000,00O. The company turned them all down.
 Stock in the Hog Creek company, of par value of $100, was bid up to $10,000 on the exchange here, but the holders are asking $14,000 per share.
