They'll Get Us Yet.

Again there are prospect oil field
developments In this section and hope
has been born anew. Many still believe
that if the wild-catters keep steadily
to the game they will land us yet
develop field of great value to the
entire community and commercial I'M
l,ortance to the whole parish.
The crew at the Ford well has drill
ed to the contracted depth $500 feet
and the reporter WAS told the first
Of the week that further orders We're
awaited. 1t is expected that the well
will be drilled deeper.
At the Rocky Mount site the derrick
was completed some days ago, the two
rigs 1standard and rotary and other
materials We're hauled ont last week
and the first of this week; the big
bit entered the soil Saturday Of last
week and has since been lnaking good
progress-so reported. The standard
rig, In which most confidence is placed,
will be tried out repeatedly as the diff
ferent strata of oil bearing sand are
reached.
Much OF the renewed hope above re
ferred to comes from the location made
by the Transcontinental Company-1A
miles northeast Of town and just south
Of the cemetery. This Is not to be a
contract job. By which is meant that
the big oil company is doing little
wild-catting OH its own account and
| Of course, every effort will be made
to properly finish up the well. Material
| is now being hauled to the site and
1T Is expected that operations will b.
under way within three weeks.

In SPITE OF LODGE

In reply to a telegram from a
committee of Massachusetts citi-

New York World, Senator Lodge
expressed his sympathy with
Poland and said:
"Our relations with the Polish
situation are now entirely in the
hands of the President, who is deal
ing with the question in concert,

associated with us in the war"
The Chairman of the Foreign
Relations Committee might have
gone further and confessed that
the President was dealing with
the Polish question in spite OF
the efforts of Henry Cabot Lodge
and the other republican sens-
tors to deprive him of all power
whatsoever in a matter of that
kind. Not only is the President
dealing with it, but the French
government has given its un-
qualified adherence to Secretary
Colby's note. and the President

MORE REPUBLICAN PROMISES

Representative Slemp, of Vir-
ginia, one of Senator Harding's 5
campaign lieutenants, promises
that if the republicans are sue
cessful in November they will re-
duce the living cost by revising
the excess profits tax, by repeal
ing the transportation tax. by
increasing the tariff schedules
and-by modifying the income tax
laws.
The republicans have controlled
both houses of Congress since
May, 1919. Why, Mr.. Slemp,
have they not already done these
things? Certainly. it wasn't for
fear of a presidential veto. be-
cause the president more than
once asked Congress to do at
least some of them.

PERTINENT REASONS
WHY YOU SHOULD VOTE
FOR LINWOOD S. PRATT

With a full knowledge of the
needs of the larger educational
institutions of the State, Linwood
S. Pratt believes the rural schools
are urgently in need of better
supervision and better conditions.
He sets forth his aims for their
bettermentin in the following brief,
concise form:
Il want a chance to help in the
uplift and betterment of the rural
schools.
10 get that chance, have
become a candidate for state su-
perintendent of public instruc-
ton.
Il want every republican who
sees this notice, to vote for my
nomination in the primary, Sep
tember TT.
Il want every republican who
cares anything about the schools
of this State, to get every possi-
bic vote for me in the primary,
September 7th.
have taught school twenty
years and practised law ten
years.
Il have successfully built up
three school systems.
MY preparatory education
was obtained in high school, two
normal schoos and Harvard Uni
versity.
Il am an expert in rural
schools.
Il am an expert in child psy-
chology and in child develop
ment.
Give me a chance to build up
the rural schools of Arizona.
The rural schools need about
twice as much money as they are
getting.
The rural schools need about
twice as good teachers as they
have been getting.
IF ! am elected State super
intendent, | will give the rural
schools many times the attention
that the rural schools in this
State have ever received.
There are about 400 rural
schools in Arizona.
There are about 5000 pupils
| in the rural schools of Arizona.
These school and these pupils
are not receiving, and never have
received. anything adequate in
the way of educational facilities,
II repeat here the first of the
three principles upon which is
founded the Arizona League of
Class Room Teachers, which |
organized in February of this
year:
Every child in Arizona is en-
titled to as good an education as
every other child in Arizona, re-
gardless of the social position OF
his parents, or the place of his
parents domicile.
If you care anything for the
schools, vote for me in the, pri-
mary,
If you care anything for the
schools, get other republicans to
vote for me in the primary.
If | am elected school super
intendent, | will do more for the
rural schools than ever has been
done in this State before, by any
one.
