May Prospect For oil.

We understand that d L.. on
iphant is in communication with a
large prospecting and oil producing
Oil Company of the Texas fields who
have indicated that they would be
willing to drill two holes in this ter
ritory provided a sufficiently large
acreage could be secured. :,
Definite propositions as to the
amount of acreage or terms or leas-
ing have not yet been received but
Mr.. Oliphant is expecting them soon
and will then take up the matter
with landowners of this vicinity. The
company proposes to make a
thorough test of this territory by
sinking two holes 800 feet deep
without financial help from the COM
munity.
The deep hole at the mine was
only about 500 feet deep, as we
remember it, and the impression mas
always prevailed here that there was
a strong showing Of oil, but the drill
ing was stopped when the big VEN
of coal was struck, and the Company
changed their plans from OIL to coal
: In case the proposition of these
people is a liberal one we have no
doubt but that they will be able to
secure all the leases necessary 10

Showed Their Authority-But Ex-
pensiVe.

The States Highway Commission
recently turned down the bids the
Board of Supervisors accepted when
bids were asked for furnish ing ma
terial for county work last January.
AS far as known locally the, bids
were bona fide in every respect and
as for their being low and reason
exceptional bargains for the county.
The contracts IOr furnishing the
material was given the Hayes Lum-
Der Co. of this city, and other bid
ders claimed the prices were so low
that no profit could be made. But in
due time the State. Highway Com,
mission sent word that the bids had
ones. The proper advertising was
done by the county auditor, the date
set being Monday of this week, and
there was but one bid entered, that
of the same company which had had
their bid rejected, but this time the
prices were considerably higher on
material caused other nearby firms
to not submit any prices. 800,
Whether or not the second bid or
the local company will be rejected,
of course is not known, and every
additional delay is costing the tax
payers of the county more money;
for the material must be secured
from some source and certain
amount of road, bridge and other
county. work done this year.
The State Highway. Commission
has the final say in such matters, and
it looks like they are keeping up
with the other state officials in
making this administration, by their
encouragement, the most expensive
and inefficient administration in the
history of this or any other state

STATE POLICE GUARD ROADS
constabulary Campaigns Against
Bandits by Governors Order

In an effort to round np the foot
pads and automobile bandits who have
been making highways between this
city and Chester camping grounds. Gov
crnor Sproul, upon the request of sew
eral victims of the highwaymen, yester-
day dispatched large number of state
troopers to do patrol duty.
Tho police and their mounts passed
through this city last night. and. ac-
cording to the present plans, they will
make their headquarters near Essing-
ton. It is in this district that many
hold-ups and other crimes have been
committed in the last week. Two OF
the affairs resulted in murder, and as
most Of the small towns are policed by
one or two men, Governor Sproul. after
hearing of the repeated complaints, de-
cided to send the best troopers avail
able.
In accordance with their custom, the
state police will exercise their full
power to halt and search every person
automobile or wagon that is at all sus
picious. The recent raid of bandits who
held up and stole several truckloads o.
liquor had no particular bearing il
bringing the state troopers.

DR. THOMPSON FILES
SUIT AGAINST BOARD.
Test Case of Central High
Schools Retired Head Is
Brought in Court
ASKS AN EARLY ANSWER

Suit to compel the Board Of Educa
tion to reinstote DR.. Robert Ellis
Thompson as president Of Central High
School was instituted In Common Pleas
Court No. today.
Byron A. Miner. representing Doctor
Thompson, petitioncd for a writ of al
Tentative mandamus asking for the re-
instatement or an answer within thirty
days showing just cause for Doctor
Thompson's retirement.
Doctor Thompson was president OF
the Central High School for twenty six
years. He was dropped in June under
the terms of the school act Of 1917 be-
cause he was seventy years old, the
board said.
Mr.. Milnor contends the act is uncon =
stitutional and is class legislation, bar
ring, as 1t does, men from holding COW
eted positions in the school system be
cause of the setting of an arbitrary age
limit.
Edward Merchant. assistant secre-
tary and solicitor for the Board of Edu
cation. appeared before Judge Stern ant
accepted service of the suit for the
board.
He would make no comment on the
charge in the suit that the board has
exceeded its authority because the re.
tirement WIS not ordered by the state
retirement board.
The petition states that the law doe.
not automatically retire teacher a
the age Of seventy years. but that th'
retirement must be ordered by the re.
tirement body. No such order wal
made in Doctor Thompson's case, it II
said.
In explaining the suit Mr.. Milnel
said he. wanted it understood there wal
no personal animosity against Doctor
Haney in the movement.
"We hope to get decision in tn,
case before September" he said. Their
is no animus in the suit. but Docto
Thompson feels that as the constitu
tionality of the law is in doubt tn
court. not the Board Of Education
should decide the matter"
Doctor Thompson is seventy six year
