Behind the story of every achieve ment, be it the building of a sky scraper, a railroad, or tunnel, there is another story. It is usually story of man, or of men, and men are more interesting than the things they do.
 Recent advices from Hampton, in Calhoun county, indicate that there is a reasonable certainty of oil ol gas being developed in that neigh ,borhood. There is a story behind the drilling of that we'll

He once worked for a man by the name of Tries Tries is one of the heads of the gas and oil company which controls the Arkansas Natural Gas company. The other is man by the name of Bede- min, making the firm name of Bede- min and Tries.
 Miller severed his connection witt Tries, and took a position with an- other big oil man. This man died recently, and in settling his es- tate, the trustees were approached by Miller who told them he had a hunch that there was oil in Calhoun coun- ty, Arkansas, and asked them to let him undertake to locate a we'll in the name of the estate.

Commerce Secretary Shows Trade With South America
 Better Than Ever Before

Washington, Oct. 19.-Acting Sec retary Sweet of the department of commerce, made public tonight let ter he has addressed to Senator Hard ing, charging the Republican presi- dential nominee with having made grossly erroneous statements" con- corning the department.
 MT. Sweet cited extracts from a speech made by Senator Harding at St. Louis, October 16, to the effect that the government had indulged in "teo much meddling in Europe and too little of trade cooperation with Latin-America" and that it "had sig nally failed to extend to its indus trial and commercial enterprises anything like the encouragement and support which has been given Brit ish industries by the British govern ment."
 "It may surprise you," MT. Sweet said in his letter, land it certainly will surprise those who heard o1 read your statements and place reli- ance upon them to learn that our American trade at the begin ming of the European war, was con- siderably greater than that of Grea the total trade of the United Sates Britain" The acting secretary plac- ed the total trade of the United States with Latin-America during 1911-13, at $2,361, ,O88,0OO, and the trade of Great Britain at $1 1889 9,556,- | 900.
 Beats Great Britain.
 "In the year 1919 our exports to | Latin American countries amounted to $987 ,355,OOO," the letter continued "Great Britain's exports amounted te $263, ,973, ,000, the difference in ou1 favor being $723,381 ,O00.
 "In all this there is no indication of superior British foreign trade methods and you are slandering both your government and the energetic business men, especially our manu lecturers and exporters, whose fine CO., operation with the department 0: commerce and efficiency have over come handicaps.'
 MT. Sweet said the present admin istration had inaugurated new trade methods, and sent abroad commercial attaches, and that the Argentine gov ernment had indicated a desire t, adopt the methods of the United States in encouraging trade, becaus after investigation, it had found then superior to those of other countries

 Tells of Close Vote
 James Henry Thomas, of the Ma tional Union of Railwaymen, sup porting MT. Braces suggestion, said that it was no secret that seventeen days ago special meeting of the railway delegates decided by only one vote not to strike forthwith, after he had made the utmost effort in favor of peace. He begged the house not to minimize the danger but to re- members that the same people were meeting tomorrow.
 The parliamentary debate on the coal strike tonight, although it dis appointed hope of any immediate set clement of the dispute, nevertheless owing to its extreme moderation and the conciliatory tone of the Premier's l speech has left much brighter pros. poets that a settlement will be reach ed ere long.
 The premier especially emphasized that no question of armour proper would prevent the government iron honestly, fearlessly and sincerely ex amining any project promising set clement having due regard for pub l lie interest, and he expressed per feet willingness to consider increased remuneration for the miners, provid ed it meant larger output.
 No Developments | There were no new developments to day in the coal strike which began last Saturday. In all the coal regron where the men have laid down thei tools order was maintained by tn, strikers.
 One feature of the situation to night was the prospect of 25,000 Lon don commercial road transportation men ceasing work. The men on Sat urday night passed a resolution de claring themselves as fully support ing the miners. A conference to talk final action was adjourned until to morrow. Should the transportatio workers in all parts of the countr walk out, it is estimated that 18O,OO would be involved.
