Negroes Have Good Citizen=
 ship Week Program

Ogden, Dec. 15.-(SpeciaD - Good Citizens hip Week was closely observed by the negro school of Ogden. On Monday morning the opening address was made by w. T. Thurston, followed during the week by Rose Thompson, w. I. Humphrey, and the teacher in charge.
 These addresses were followed with songs by the school children, who made, "We Stand for Good Citizenship their motto, and mounted the same in large white letters on the black board. The program reached it's best when on Sunday at 2:30 p. m., w. T Thurston introduced to large and appreciative audience of negroes, Prof. L. F. Wheel is. after singing America.
 ' Words are inadequate to express the pleasure felt by the address of Prol Wheelis. Tn masterly way he del1v' cred a welcome message on Good Cit fzenship, which caused all who listened to take a more conservative view o1 their duty. He emphasized the duty o1 mothers in teaching their ch1idre1 Good Citizenship if they would develop desirable men and women. He was roundly applauded many times. Alte' his conclusion, he introduced the Hon John DuLaney, who spoke for more than an hour on "A New Emanclpa tion." He handled the subject as al orator,-as he is,-would. He dwell largely on the many things which ar' holding us in bondage still and re tarding our progress as a race. Man! times during his address he orougn forth bursts of laughter from the au dience.
 The kindliest feeling featured throughout the afternoon, and we Tee that under the atmosphere of sucl spirit as shown in both addresses, WI can not help develop Good Citizenship

STANDARD WELL RIG
 NOW BEING LOCATED
First Test We'll by Oklahoma Company Will Be Put Down Near
 Wades Chapel

The first standard cable rig ever set up in the county has been received at Arden and this week is being moved to the drilling site near Wades Chapel, ten miles west of this place and near Arden. The parties who are inter ested in the drilling in this section are F. K. Hardy, L. s. Lakin and Il Grote of Lawton, Oklahoma. Very It, tie has been said by these people and it was not generally known that they were in the county. They seem to be the kind of people who believe in do' ing, rather than talking.
 In conversation with MT. Grote Fri day he stated that they were first at tracted to this proposition a few months ago while passing through here by D. K. Lewis of this city, and wishes to give MT. Lewis credit fol bringing to this section the first cable tool drilling rig. He told then that the section about Arden was his old home and that he believed ar acreage could be secured there. Credit is also given to Jim Cobb of the Wades Chaple community for helping to se' cure the acreage among the farmers o1 his community. 0. Kolb of Ashdowr acted as trustee and all leases were turned over to him. These three mei deserve special mention in connectlol with this prospective new develop ment.
 These people expect to go to wori sinking a hole as soon as the TIE cal be gotten ready and expect to give real test. This section of the county has attracted the notice of many ol people for a long time, the peculiar formation found there being similar t' many of the best oil fields, but this II the first time that a well has peer
 .ed in the heart of the district.

Endorses Present Plan for
 Selling Christmas Seals

Little Rock, Dec. 17.-(SpeciaD - Dr. c. w. Garrison, state health off, cer, who is a member of the Board of Directors of the Arkansas Public Health Association, now conducting it's annual sale of Tuberculosis Christmas seals, endors.s the movement in the following interview:
 "I sincerely hope the citizens of the state will recognize the importance of the work being done by the Arkansas Public Health Association. The work of the volunteer public health agen- cies during the past several years has been of inestimable value and if it had not been for its public health demon strations in Arkansas by this and other outside agencies, the public health work would not be nearly SC well advanced as it is now. AS State Health Officer, I invite all volunteer
 health organizations to assist in i'm
 proving the health conditions of thu state, lbut suggest that it is essentia to coordinate all such agencies witt the w4rk of the State Board of Health
 in order to avoid as much duplication as possible. I am in hearty accord with the movement for the sale of tub. erculOFis seals and trust that all citi. zens of Arkansas will do their part toward raising the funds necessary tc carry 3ut the program of the organiza- tion."

HEMpSTEAD COUNTY
 FARMERS INTERESTED
Hampstead County Farmers Are Now Greatly Interested in Crop
 DiversificatiOn.

Hope, Dec. 16.-That Hampstead County farmers are greatly interested in diversifcation was evidenced by the unusually large attendance at the truck growers meeting at the Chamber of Commerce rooms on Saturday after noon. Between seventy and eighty were present and evinced the closest kind of interest in talks made by H. L. Thomas and B. w. Watson. At the close of these talks a number signed up to grow tomatoes during the coming lyear. Two or three community meet ings will be held this week to deter mine if the required acreage can be obtained to enable the growers to ship their products in car lots.
 In discussing the tomato proposition H. l.. Thomas said he was ready to make contracts for the tomatoes grown at SLIGO bushel throughout the sea- son or would buy at market price. He explained that it would be necessary to plant at least 100 acres to tomatoes to enable the growers to ship in :sr tots and take advantage of the mar kets. He explained that it was also necessary to plant the same kind of seed at about the same time, cultivate, rrune and top the plants alike in order that the fruit will mature at the same time. He promised to aid the farmers in every way possible in growing plants and getting them out into the fields. His talk was we'll received.
 E. w. Watson, agricultural commis- sioner for the Prescott & Northwestern railway, was another talker that gave interesting facts concerning tomato growing and trucking in general MT. Watson told the farmers that they must expect to pay for their experi- ence in learning to grow tomatoes just the same as any other truck crop, but he declared that it was possible to make money out of the crop while learning. He stressed the importance of getting a good healthy plant to start with and also the fact that the tomatoes must be we'll fertilized.
 To Plant Variety of Crops.
 The farmers present were advised to plant variety of crops if they should undertake to do trucking at all The speakers declared that it was very foolish for a grower to stake all on any one crop. It was explained that with a small acreage planted to rad. fishes, tomatoes, strawberries, Irish DO !tatoes, watermelons, cantaloupes and the rest of farm to good variety of cot ton the Hampstead county farmer ought to make his business profitable Cooperation among the growers wal urged to the end that they realize the best possible prices for their products
 Final arrangements must be made for the tomato acreage at an early date because the hot houses must be larranged early in January in order that good and strong plants may be available for the field early in April Plants are first started in hot beds and then set out in cold frames and form the cold frames they go into the fields.
