.RI(7 BEAM MADE
 IN LITTLE ROCK
ARKANSAS FOUNDRY COMPANY SHOWS WHAT CAN BE DONE WITH EXHIBIT ON MAIN
 STREET BUILDING.

Until the people of Little Rock see something out of the ordinary that has been manufactured in this city, tbey do not realize the extent of the manufacturing institutions of this city An example of this is the mag nitude of the Arkansas Foundry Com. pany.
 we have just completed a AS foot built up girder for Wm. Peterson. con tractor on the job at SIS Main street, ; says Fred Brown, president of this company. 'This wirder was made in our structural shop and weighs six tons. It is one of the largest single pieces of steel in any building in the city.
 We are receiving more structural material than at any time in the last two years. This week we have un- loaded four cars of structural shapes and two cars of reinforcing bars and have en route three more cars of re- |inforcing and two cars of strueturais, over two-thirds of this material is sold and the balance will probably be before it reaches us. Contractors have begun to realize that they must pro .tect themselves at once and are not waiting to place their orders, but givs ing them as soon as contracts are let
 We are loading out another car of reinforcing for Mercedes. Texas. This is small town on the Mexican border and makes the fourth car of reinfore- ing we have sold there since the 1st Of January. We have also loaded out carsof reinforcing for Judsonia Glen wood and Morrilton the past week"

COTTON LOOMS
 NOT TO BE HAD
DELIVERY IMPOSSIBLE BEFORE 1922, WHICH MAKES INcREAs- ED PRODUCTION OUT OF
 THE QUESTION.

It is positive fact that it is impos- sible to secure deliveries of cotton looms before the end of 1922, says the Boston News Bureau in a re- cent article, pointing out the unprece- dented business on the books of all mill machinery companies.
 The statement says:
 Nowadays so much comment is be- ing made upon money and banking conditions that the sensational pros perity being enjoyed in certain indus tries tends to escape public notice al- together. A case in point is the tex tile machinery business.
 Never in their history were the American mill companies so busy never had they so many untitled or ders-neyer was it so difficult to get looms and spindles. It is a positive fact that it is impossible to secure deliveries of cotton looms before the end of 1922, and 1923 deliveries are now being quoted.
 Neither from abroad nor this country can mill machinery be se- cured. This factor and the high prices resulting account for the fail ure of big New England mills to plan to meet the unprecedented demand for their products.
 "spindles, for instance, are com s6.50 as compared with $5 just after the armfstice and $1.65 and lower during the price-cutting war in 1915. Looms are up from $165 to S425.
 Thus 1t is that replacement values of cotton mills are figured at from $75 to $100 spindle against a pre- war valuation of from S25 to $3O spindle. Thus it is that cotton mill securities have been only slightly af- fected by the general decline in stock values

l hereby formally announce my. can didacy for the Democratic nomination for attorney general of Arkansas, sub ject to the primaries to be held next August
 l am not presuming to arrogate to myself any superior qualities as stu dent of the law, for I appreciate the fact that there are many others equally well equipped for this responsible of flee. However, I know that I am thoroughly qualified, and that if I am honored with the suffrage of a ma jority, I will fulfill the trust as faith fully as any one who might be se- lected.
 The office of the chief legal counsel of the State is one that requires the most careful attention to details, and there are innumerable questions to be considered, vitally affecting the vel fare of every individual citizen of the State as well as that of the common wealth as a whole I submit that my experience in public life and my thor ough grounding in the law, both com mon and statutory, have qualified me to serve my people in this capacity equally as we'll as any other aspirant for this position.
 It is a matter of common knowledge to my friends and others, that have had a rather successful career as a general practitioner. I was admitted to the bar in Little Rock in 1909, and since 1913 have practiced in the Fifth. Judicial Circuit, which is one of the strongest bars in the State, and have enjoyed more than my share of the practice. l was formerly member of the firm of Hall & Bohlinger, and upon the retirement of Judge Hall. became the junior member of the firm of Davis Ss Bohlinger, the senior mem Der of which is Col. Marcellus l.. Da- wis, former circuit judge of the dis trict This firm has, in former, years, numbered among it's members, Judge R. c. Bullock and Judge Jesse Hart, now an associate justice of the Su- preme Court, During my connection, I have been largely the trial member of the firm and have tried practically all of our cases before the various courts of the circuit. This has given me a very wide experience in han ding not only criminal but civil cases.

An Old Landmark

Few people, except the few remain
ing early settlers know that the old
frame building in the rear of the
Cash Grocery, used by Finley Monroe
as coal shed, was the home of EN-
mett's first postoffice. In those days
the business part of the town was be-
tween the Farmers Cooperative ca
nal and where the railroad tracks
now are. According to Merv. Han
thorn, the shingles were made by Will
liam Fuller from native lumber in the
old fashioned way of shaving them.
The shingles are still in a fairly good
state Of preservation to this day, al
though paint has never touched their
surface.

TO DRILL FOR OIL At
OLA
Saxon Ranch Leased by Wyom-
ing Co.-COal Deposits to
be Exploited.

The exploitation of the coal fields
and oil shale of the Ola country is as
sured through the negotiation of leas-
es for the Saxon ranch and the sign
ing Of a contract to develop the coal
deposits and drill we'll for oil by q
company composed of Wyoming and
Caldwell people. The contract re-
quires that drilling shall commence
within the next six months and q
bond of $4,000 has been given by the
company to guarantee the provisions
of the contract. Such is the good
news brought to town today by Mrs.
Elmer Beale of Ola Mrs. Beale was
witness to the signing of the papers.
The Index feels no little satisfac-
ton In the effect of its exclusive pub
ication of the results of its investi-
cation of the presence of coal in the
Ola country and the promising indi-
cations of OIL Within two weeks af-
ter the first article was written, oil
and coal experts were on the ground
to investigate, coming from as far
east as Wyoming and Utah. The fact
that as result of their Investigations |
the field is to be exploited proves that |
the field is at least a promising one.
The decision to develop the coal and
to drill for oil was made by George
Black, an expert from Rawlins, Wyo.
A 15-inch well is to be sunk with
standard drilling outfit The coal will
be utilized as fuel for the engine that
operates the drills.
Mrs. Beale says the company has
decided to start work on coal shaft
1t once and that the location Of the
shaft will be some distance from the
bed OF Squaw creek on the Saxon
.anch where the coal crops out on the
Iurface. This is done evidently to
,bviate water trouble. 1,
The development of the Ola country ,
oincident with that Of the Horseshoe :
,end district means great things for
hose sections. Expert geologists de-
lare that the lay of the land and the
Geological formation are identical :
nth the rich oil fields Of Wyoming
nd are optimistic in their belief that
il, gas and coal will be found.

SCHOOLS OPEN WITH s2s
Every Room Crowded-No Room fos
so Primary Pupils.

50 Primary Pupils.
The four city schools opened Mon.
day morning. This morning the en-
rollment had reached 92s, Of which
1856 are in High school and 733 in the
grades. Fifty primary grade pupils
were denied admission until the new
High school building is completed, be-
cause of lack of room. Every de-
partment is crowded.
Applications for admission Of be-
ginners should be made at once in or
der that provision may be made for
them when the new building is COM
pleted.
In examining the children the first
day the nurse found them in good con-
dition. This was most encouraging as
she feels that the instructions about
keeping the sick children away from
school have been carried out. 1t is
only with the cooperation of the
parents that contagion can be kept
under control.

WALTERS MAKES
HIS BOW
Gubernatorial Nominee Talks on Is
sues from Democratic Standpoint

+ T. A. Walters, Democratic nomine
for governor, spoke to a fair size,
audience in Liberty theater Saturda,
night. The major portion Of hi
speech was taken up in discussing
state issues, only dwelling upon na
tional questions a short time
In unlimbering his guns on tn.
state tax question, he made the pre-
liminAry remark that it is mot *
much how much taxes are assessed OF
how much money is raised, but how
the funds are spent" which is good
sense. Then he turned loose the whole
battery.
He charged the administration with
increasing taxes 323 per cent over the
preceding administration, which, If his
preliminary statement is sound, is not
a grieyous fault, as he offered no evi-
dence to prove that the money was not
well spent
His second charge was that the cab
met form of government was wrong
and that it tended to build up poll
tical machine in the interest of the
present administration
He is feminist state constabulary,
even though when he was attorney
general he recommended that one be
appointed, using the following words:
"Since assuming the duties Of this Of
flee, experience has led me to the con-
clusion that the creation Of . state
constabuiary is well nigh necessity"
He made other charges against this
Republican administration
and ripped it wide open But
II, n q lawyer-which he isEHr.
had been prosecuting the
Davis administration before jury for
spending the states money extrava-
zantly and building up political ma
.hine by means Of the cabinet form Of
government, he would have lost his
,ase. In fact, the judge probably
would have thrown the case out Of
.ourt for lack of evidence. Il
OF course, The Index is Of opposite
POLITICAL faith to Mr.. Walters, and
doubtless some will say it is preju-
ice. Maybe so, although we try not
o be, but that is how we sized up the
candidates. speech after
linking over it for nearly week,
nd the more we thought the more we
ecome convinced that Walters offered
OF particle of evidence to prove
Is charges.

TO START BANK
BUILDING
Basement of New Home for First Nat
Bank to be Built This Fall

The board of directors of the First
National Bank have definitely decided
to start work this fall on the new
home of the bank by building the base
ment, and erecting the superstructure
in the spring.
Lest you have forgotten, it may be
stated that the site for the new build
ing is next to the Odd Fellows build
ing and will occupy the 50-foot space
between the Odd Fellows and Cruick-
shank buildings. The new structure
will be two stories in height, with o.
fec rooms above and the bank room
below. The banks quarters will be
modelled upon the most approved lines
and will be metropolitan in design
and fixtures.

Paws to Spray

That it pays to spray fruit trees is
proven in an emphatic manner by the
experience of DIR. ]. w. Sifton this
season. He thoroughly sprayed his
prune orchard last spring, except two
trees that hung over the fence. Those
two trees and their fruit are so badly
infected with scale that the prunes
could not be marketed. The rest of
the orchard, comprising 200 trees,
which was sprayed, is clean and the
fruit of excellent quality.

LETHA STORE AND P. 0.
ROBBED
Yeggmen Blow Open the Safe
and Take $3.50 in Stamps
and Money.

Burglars broke into the r. L. Bat
tan store at Letha about o'clock yes
terday morning, blew open the post
office safe and robbed it of about $40
IN stamps, money orders and cash,
and took between 5000 and $500 in
checks and money from the store till.
The postoffice is in the Battan store
and Allen w. Newell is postmaster.
Sheriff Klepper, who made an inves-
tigation, together with John Welke of
the state game department, says the
job was done by expert yeggmen.
Entrance was effected to the building
by prying OF the front door. All
crevices of the safe door were soaped
in an expert manner, hole drilled in
the outer covering and nitro-glycer-
inc poured between the outer and in
ner castings. The charge blew the
door open. The clock in the building
stopped at 1:25, from the force of the
explosion, it is believed. The exact
amount of valuables taken is not
known, but is estimated at about 5000.
The amount includes $36 worth of
stamps, a small amount of money or
ders, a few dollars in money belong
ing to the postoffice. Checks and
money belonging to Mr.. Battan
amount to between 5000 and $500.
Sheriff Klepper thinks the job was
done by a professional and probably
the same ones as robbed the postof-
flee at Parma last week. One of
Uncle Sans secret service men has
been put on the trail of the robbers.
Letha residents say they remember
seeing two strangers about town q
few days before the robbery and it is
these men were either the
or accomplices of the
guilty parties. They drove Ford
car. None Of the goods of the store
vas taken. +
This same store, then owned by A.
W. Newell, was robbed about year
ago and $50 in silver was taken.
