Book, containing the ammunition to
! be hurled at the democratic ranks by
the republican spellbinders during the
campaign now on. has been received
at the headquarters of the national
committee in Washington. The vol
ume. which is designed to fit into a
capacious pocket. contains 500 pages
and as many reasons why the repub-
licans should be returned to power
and the democrats turned out in the
coming election. 1t is issued by the
republican national committee partic-
ularly for the use of the speakers in
the campaign.
Biographies OF Leaders.
Senator Warren C. Harding. the re-

OF honor, naturally. A biography of
Senator Harding makes up the first
chapter. and chapter 2 is devoted to
Gov. Calvin Coolidge, the republican

ing these chapters are found the
speech of Senator Henry Cabot Lodge
as chairman of the republican ma
uonai convention, Senator Harding's
speech accepting the nomination, the
republican and democratic platforms
OF 1920 in parallel columns.
A chapter by Allan Dawson. dis
cussing President Wilson and War"
tion was callously Indifferent to the
obligations of mankind at the outset
OF the great war; that it sneered at
preparedness: that it was elected on
the plea that President Wilson kept
us out of war" and that when the
United States finally did enter the
war the administration had neglected
entirely to prepare for war
Other chapters are given over to
discussions of what the republicans
have accomplished since they came
into power in Congress a year and
half ago. Special emphasis is laid
upon the fact that it was this re-
publican Congress that put through
the resolution providing for con-
Btitutional amendment for woman
suffrage, and that 81 per cent of the
republicans in Congress supported the
resolution. while only 55 per cent of
the democrats voted for it and As
per cent voted against it.
Democratic waste and eXtrava-
gance. republican economy, the high
cost of living and how the democrats
have failed to stem it. international
trade problems. the railroad problem,
the merchant marine, the immigra-
tion situation, the Administrations

other topics discussed in the hand
book.

Louisiana's Oil Fields are
Continuing to Develop

Shreveport, La, April 20.-Al-
though the famous Homer oil pool
here fell behind Bull Bayou in the
actual number of competitions for the
week lust passed, it continued TO
show a greater daily output, gain
ing several thousand barrels in pro-
duetion over the highest figures for
the previous week. Homer is now
producing approximately $4,000 bar
reIs of oil per day, the greatest out
put of high grade oil in the world.
Only five new wells were completed
during the week as there has been a
general inclination on the part OF
those in charge of operations to wait
for better weather before making any
particular effort to bring in new
wells.
None of the new wells exceeded
one thousand barrels in initial out
put, although the previous weeks
compilations smashed all records fol
the state. With the advent of spring
weather operations will be speeded
up and many new locations now ex'
listing only on paper will be drilled.
Bull Bayou's twelve compilations
for the week sent that section fan
ahead. The largest well brought IL
was that owned by the Continental
Asphalt and Petroleum company, OF
the now famous Robinson lease. The
initial production was placed at two
thousand barrels. This is the thirt
well brought in on this lease by th'
. same company. Last December tn
lease yielded its first well, one To-
ten thousand barrels. Two weeks ag'
the second came in with an initial pro
duction of six thousand barrels.
The other Bull Bayou completion
were for comparatively small wells
The Gilliland company, Deposition
and Gulf company each brought II

each to six other companies.

Life of All Farm
Implements too Short

Farm implements, like every other
commodity, have greatly increased in
price which makes it essential that
they be given better care than is the
practice on the average farm.
'The life of the average farm inn
plement is too short, says A. F. Kid
der, agronomist and assistant direc-
tor, state experiment station, Louis
lana State University. Grain bind
ers last only four or five years on the
average, while rice binders usually
perform their functions only one or
two years. But almost everyone has
seen binders ten or fifteen years old
still doing good work. Why? Sim
ply because care has been given them.
"Bolts on all such implements
should be examined twice or more
daily when in use and kept frightened.
The operator must also keep sharp
lookout for loose parts. Jolting will,
in time, loosen. nuts unless they are
set.
''Robbing one implement for an
other is a bad practice. Farm labor
ers will invaribly do this unless strict
orders are given to the contrary. A
small room equipped with extra bolts,
nuts and other accessories is a neces-
sity. BY giving attention to even the
simplest machine its life viii be pro-
Ionged to many times that of one that
is neglected"

Ing uiSiS W Tie special cOmmlJJco,
which has been at work since the
luncheon on Thursday, was the MEM
bers -of Mr. Pratt's team-R. E.
Cheatham, John Oliver, J. ]. Rich
ards, and Jack T. Senter. Thisawas
at the request Of Mr.. Pratt. The
other members are: Mr.. Kuykendall,
Mr.. Harrison, Mr.. Glover, Mr.. B. K.
Sessums, Mr.. D. s. Cox, Jr., Mr.. B. A.
Lincoln, Mr.. MCGOWAN, DR. c. d.
Goodwin, Mr.. H. M. Owen, and Mr.. /.
Fl. Simon.
Their success gives rise to strong
hope that the total membership Of the
new Chamber of Commerce eventually
will reach the unofficial goal Of the
drive-800 memberships. This, as
has been said, will constitute the
largest civic-commercial organization
in the State of Mississippi.
The presiding officer at the third
luncheon was "Major |. /. Kaufman.
He recalled that he had been talking
about Chamber of Commerce in CO.
lumbus so long that he feared every
body dreaded to see him coming. It
was, therefore, delight to him to be
asked to preside at a meeting Of the
workers of the community who had
given Columbus the one thing he felt
it most needed. For the Chamber of
Commerce, with $50 members pledged
for three years on basis of $25 MEM
bership dues, and more than another
one hundred in sight was away be-
yond the experimental stage. 1t was
already living thing-looking for
something definite to do-and likely
to be well at work within another
month.
Doctor James W. Lipscomb, chair
man of the campaign committee, de-
livered a valedictory." He heartily
thanked everybody who had helped in
making SO great success. He did
not undertake, he said to suggest any
thing for the new Chamber Of Com
merce to do; but he did want to say
word of warning:
"Don't go too far in jumping on
everything that is wrcng," he said.
That has been our habit in the past.
Let's try cooperation. | firmly be-
lieve we have learned the lesson of CO.
operation among ourselves in this
campaign, and now hope we shall
try that method in dealing with the
! civic problems that are before us. |
am sure we shall get along faster and
go farther by following that PLAN
Doctor Lipscomb also urged the Gull
tivation Of the spirit Of cooperation
among the citizens and the develop
ment of leadership in the community.
We need more men who viii say,
! Yes, I'll do it, instead of the fellows
. who usually hold back and say, let
. the other fellow do it,"
Rev. James II. Felts called atten-
-tion to the fact that the campaign had
brought to the fore in this community
number Of young men of splendid
ability and public spirit. One Of these
he mentioned was Mr.. Jack 7. Senter,
, whereat there was tremendous burst
Of applause. Mr. Senter was called
!. on for a speech, which consisted Of
thanks to his captain and the cam
paign committee for an opportunity
to do something for his home
