There seems to be no doubt about ter we'll. Alex Purtell of Hope, was in Ashdown Tuesday morning while on his way to Lockesburg, and had jast returned from the Stephens well. He had with him sodapop bottle fuiL of the oil that can.c from the we'll and it looks like the real goods to us. Mr,

Press Reports.

Stephens, July 12-At 3:30 o'clock this afternoon Superintendent Lowe Of the Standard Oil Company and President Radcliffe of the Louisiana Oil Retining Corporation, decided to stop bailing Hunter we'll and to drill on through the cap rock. At blast of the whistle brought in the crew and the bailer was disconnected.
 Drilling operations will begin to- morrow, and may consume several days. At this time oil stood in the casing 1000 feet, it was said, but would nol flow, The only way it can be made to flow will be by pumping. It was estimated that the we'll as it stands will produce from 150 to 200 barrels per day by pumping and some of the officials were in favor of letting it stand. However, MT. Lowe and Mr. Radcliffe decided otherwise, The Standard Oil Company for sev- eral reasons wants to know what is below the cap rock. One is because !! it will be known then whether to start a pipe line to Stephens. The oil will not flow, it was said, because it drifts up through rock tis- sues to the casing. If it is bored out the oil will come up satisfactorily Oil scouts here all seem satisfied with the prospects.
 We'll is Proven.
 It was proven that Hunters we'll has oil. All day eager spectators sat | in semi-circle on logs and rusty cas- | ing 50 yards or so from the derrick and watched the bailer as it made re- peated trips to the bowels of the earth and returned dripping with the black, golden-streaked oil. The wire cable hummed a merry tune all day long. Lyke Watkins, the driller stood by the lever controlling the cable drum, and the crew spattcred from head to toe with oil, stood by, ready to wrestle with chains and heavy pipe wrenches.
 ] A test of oil was made during the Fday, and showed grade of 36 to92 degrees temperature.

VERY OPT0MISTlc OVER THE JULY CROP REPORT
Charles s. BOuton, Agricultural Ex- pert, Finds Encouraging Features
 in the Report

Little Rock, July 1.-The july crop report issued by the Department of Agriculture through the Cooperative Crop Reporting Service has some very encouraging features, according to Charles s. Bouton, agricultural stasti- clan, There are large increases in rice, prospective good crops of oats and hay, a promising apple crop, an increase in sorghum, and a promise of an excellent national corn crop to off, set the threatened wheat shortage.
 North central and south central Ar kansas show an increase in corn. In the north central this is largely due to acreage released from wheat and in the south central to replanted areas of cotton. The indicated acreage of the state is 2,599,O0O and the condition of 80 forecasts yield of 196 bushels per acre, and total production of 51,04O,- 900 bushels.
 White potatoes: This crop suffered a decrease due to poor seed this year, and bad weather a year ago, The esti- mated acreage is 35 ,000, and there is a prospective yield of 69.3 bushels with a production of 2,45O,00O bushels. Sweet potatoes: condition 88; the total state production is estimated at 4,442 900 bushels.
 Wheat on farms: There is two per cent hold-over, or 64,O00 bushels in the hands of the farmers; Winter wheat; with a condition of 77, prom ises a yield of only 10.5 bushels per acre, a total production of 1,638, 900 bushels
 Oats show an acreage of 399,000, a total production promised of 10,4l4,- 900 bushels. There is small rye acreage, with a probable yield of 10S bushels to the acre.
 Apples will yield large crop than in any previous year except 1919, It is believed that northwest Arkansas will ship 5000 carloads of green ap- pies.
 All hay has condition figure of 91 per cent, which will give an ap- proximate total production of 952,000 tons for the state. The production of timothy grass will probably reach 61, ; GOO tons. It is expected that there will be 17,000 acres of sorgrum in the state, which will give 1,346,000 gallon production in syrul.
 Wool: A large weight per fleece :, is r 4.5, While shee are increasing in the state, the attention paid to wool growing, according to the report. has no increased approximately, as the wool clip is smaller per fleece than q year ago.
 Local Man Admitted to Practice. John J, DuLaney of this city has been appointed to membership of ap- plicants to practice before the Su- preme Court, His appointment was made Monday.

no THRILLS FOR ENGLISH GIRLS
Love Messages BY Phone-Traltorous
DelIlahs,

LONDON. March Is, (by NALL.
English girls are anxious to do away
with breach of promise" laws. They
say they cheat maiden out of her
rightful heritage-love-letters
The new breach of promise season
has begun in the courts here, and each
nearing makes careful man more
careful. Very few men will risk of ad-
dressing really impassioned epistle
to the lady of his love these days.
They sound so ridiculous when they
are read out in court and reproduced
In the newspapers. The modern lover
puts his hearts desire to the labor of
reading between the lines" If she
confines herself to the written WORD
smell get more thrills out of a d. y
goods stores advertising circular. The
letters she receives from her lion
hearted suitor are not worth the g.
cent postage stamp.
Many Samson who makes love di-
vinely is sufficiently up-to-date not to
put his sentiments down on paper.
The falseness of Delilah is a guide for
masculine pOsterity, and in vain do
English girls protest that they're not
all Delilahs. The breach of promise
courts are kept too busy for the dis
Chalmers to carry weight.
And so the engaged girl of today
has no cherished bundle of lavendar
perfumed. pink-beribboned love-pro-
testations hidden away in the linen
chest. The only things she can re-
call about those sweetly said parted
hours are the tender nothings he
whispers through the telephone
A letter costs cents. A telephone
call 6. But the extra cents insures
him against all risks.
