Oil Land Leasing Bill Soon
On the Statute Books.

The Smoot Oil Land Leasing Bill, re-
ported to the house favorably by the
committee on public lands is now well
started on the last journey to the stat
ute books. The report signed by the
chairman and agreed to by the com
mittee represents month of hard,
painstaking consideration of the meas
ure. The few slight amendments which
it commends, in no wise alters the pur-
poses of the bill, which are to open the
oil resources of the public domain to
development and to accord to claima ITS
just and equitable settlement of long
standing and vexatious disputes.

Enough to Start A Stampede.

Over $3.50 900, 900 worth of silver in
the country in 1914. Only $500, 900, 900
worth here now. Demand growing
greater all the time and supply dwind-
ling No wonder keen students of the
international silver situation are ac
quiring sound silver securities. There's
nothing but continued advances in price
of silver, which has jumped from SOC
an ounce in 1914 to $129 an ounce in
1919. It's enough to start a stampede
into every silver producing region Of
the west and south. Wickenburg is in
the centre of a silver-copper- gold zone
that ought to be working 5000 silver
miners day and night.

A private note from John G. Wray,
at the new silver camp in Rand district
says the new town of Hampton now
has more residents than are left in the
once booming tungsten camp of Atolia,
The site is an admirable one completely
sheltered from the summer dust gales
of Mojave. 1t has a water pipe line,
paved roadway and railroad running
thru it. If it's inhabitants so will it,
they can build home in San Bernar-
dino, or Kern counties, as the boundary
line of the two counties practically cuts
thru the newBtownsite Pete Osdick a
popular and we'll known pioneer tung-
stem and gold miner, lives close to the

CHRISTIAN ENDEAVoRs ENDORSE
 THRIFT.
California Organization Adopts Ress- Iutions to Aid in w. S. s. Cam
 pai9n For 1919.

The attitude of church organizations toward the movement for thrift and savings is exemplifed in resolution adopted recently by the Christian En- deavor Union of California. The reso- lution authorizes the citizenship de- partment to cooperate with the Cali fornia Savings officials to make the 1919 thrift movement a success. The resolution follows:
 Be 1t recommended by the Cali fornia Christian Endeavor Union that 1t fully endorse and urge that. as es- sential to character formation, to the welfare of the American people, and to the promotion of the national habit, the practice of the national program Of thrift instruction, the organization of savings societies and the sale of Thrift Stamps and Savings Stamps become a part of the public procedure; and that the citizenship department If the California Christian Endeavor Union be named to cooperate with each state division of the War Savings Organization for California toward making tho government plan of 1913 a success"

ARE NOT NEGOTIABLE.
War Savings Certificates Are Not to Be Used as Collateral, But 1t Is
 Easy to Cash Them.

Recent statements appearing in the public prints tending to indicate that War Savings Stamps may be used as collateral to secure loans, or for other purposes, are erroneous, according to a statement by L. A. Wilson, federal director for the War Savings Organi- zation for the Eighth Federal Reserve District.
 It is directly antagonistic to the Fed eral law, says Wilson. The law ex- plicitly states that War Savings Stamps arc not negotiable and may not be transferred by the holder. He may. if necessity demands that he ob- tain the money he has invested in them, give 10 days notice and have them redeemed at any post office. But to negotiate them through any chan. nel not prescribed by the government is prohibited.

RESOLUTION AIMED AT
 TRAFFIC INTERRUPTION
Railroad Strike, However, Not Men tioned-Open Brigandage Threaten Revolution, is Statement in
 Plea of Congressman.

Washington, Aug. 8.--A joint reso- lution declaring that state of an- archy exists in the United States authorizing to free interstate mails and traffic from luther unlawful in- reference and to adequately protect citizens in their property rights" was introduced today by Representative Blanton, democrat of Texas.
 No mention was made of the rail- road strikes, but the resolution de- clared that through organized ef- fort the proper transmission of inter state mails, telegraphic communica- tion and interstate traffic has been inteifered with, retarded, and, in many instances, forcibly prevented al- together, thereby hampering, crip- bling and attempting to destroy the industries of the United States.
 "As result of open brigandage, hitherto tolerated, demands have been made on the government of the United States to pay out of the peoples treasury into the hands of special class public money to the extent of billions of dollars" it continued "with threat of revolution against the gov ernment of the United States unless such demands are complied with which conditions create and establish a state of anarchy in the United States"
 "The president is hereby authori- Zed," it said in conclusion, "to em. ploy the entire naval and military forces of the United States and re sources of the government to destroy such anarchy, prevent and interfer. ence with the proper transmission o1 interstate mails, telegraph commuhi cation and interstate traffic; that he shall make secure all citizens in theil private property rights and the rights and privileges to work without mole station"

Dr. Steel Speaks of Dr. Norris as First
 In Peoples Hearts

Eighty business and professional men of Pine Bluff participated i'll the Fellowship luncheon at the Y. M. C.. A. yesterday at noon, as "home- coming" welcome to Dr. J. l. Norris, who has been in Y. M. c. A. work in France. w. l.. Matthews acted as chairman, and Rev. E. R. Steel, pas ter of the First Methodist church, made an address of welcome in which he spoke very complimentary of Dr. Norris work here and abroad, and that he franks first, not only in length of ministerial service here, but also in the hearts of the citizens"
 Dr. Norris, in nls address, gave a clear description of various scenes he had viewed while abroad, and of number of experiences which he had undergone. He said that when he first reached Paris bread tickets were still being used. He did not possess a bread ticket, and was about to be de- nied this food, when he protested, ex- plaining that the people of Jefferson county-his home county-had denied themselves wheat bread during the proceeding summer that France might have it. He obtained bread. Long before he left France, however, the bread supply was ample, he said.
 Dr. Norris spoke forcefully in de fense and laudation of the Y. M. c. A. He referred to the great service that organization rendered, and said even when it was necessary to charge for articles, no profit was attempted, and that in most cases the articles were handled at an actual loss, sim ply as a matter of service to the sol diers.

Americas vast army of commercial travellers are expected to be the latest auxiliary of the peace-time forces 'lat will continue to spread the wai-t&usht spirit of thrift. An urgent request has been sent this great organization to Join the national thrift campaign Tor extending the sale of War Savings and Thrift Stamps.
 The Savings Division of the Treas ury Department has taken the initial step toward enlisting the members of this big organization. Tn letter 10 the head of the commercial travellers, the division urged them to continue their valuable services which during the war proved an efficient means of dispelling enemy propaganda, assist ing the sale of Liberty Bonds and aid ing in food conservation.
 In part the request of the Savings Division stated:
 ITO give permanent value to one of the great lessons which the war taught ducting campaign to make thrift a universal element in American life. In this work, the object is to better the financial condition of the American people. This object is to be reached by teaching the people:
 "1-To put aside, as their first ob- legation and before they spend at all, part of their income for future use. g. To invest the money that they save out of their incomes in some security which pays a reasonable rate of inter- est, and is absolutely safe, preferably Thrift and War Savings Stamps.
 "The more thrifty the people are, the more promptly they pay their bills; and the more promptly bills are paid, the most stable and prosperous are business conditions. It is, there fore, good business for the commercial traveller to join in a campaign to pro- mote thrift. e
 We call upon you to perform a great national service by carrying the message of thrift to all those with whom you come in contact, and by ascertalning whether or not Thrift and War Savings Stamps may be easily purchased in the communities you visit and reporting the results of your in- vestigation to us. A few forceful words may Win.many man from per sonal failures to business success, may add one more to the roll of solid titi- l zens of the United States"
