. AN EXPLANATION

This number of the Eagle is issued
under great difficulty owing to tie
serious break of our big newspaper
press. The paper is late, and besides
the print is not up to the standard
However, we are having the big press
repaird, and we trust to have it run
ming again in a week or ten days.
Such accidents will happen in a
saw mill or printing office, and we
have known powstocks to break so
as to cause the user much delay and
worry.
We trust our readers will be patient
and not abuse US for something that
we could not help. We will have
everything in good shape and Cling
again soon.
In the meantime we will give you
the best paper We can.
Parts of this machine will have to
be ordered from the factory which ac-
counts for the delay.

THE GREATEST MOTHER"

They called it "the Greatest Moth
er in the World" and never was title
more richly deserved, for no small
boy sobbing fer tAe parental arms
because he had cut his thumb, turned
to his mother more instinctively than
did the American Soldier turn to the
Red Cross in his hour of pain and suf-
fering,
Such Is the unanimous testimony
of every man returned from over
seas, and we at home may we'll be-
lieve it, for we, too, have sought in
stinctively the Red Gross when disas-
ters nave overwhelmed our communi-
ties and whole cities have been raw
aged by fire and blood.
Mother always msde shat cut
thumb wei she bound it up, she
wiped way the tears and perhaps, if
1T hurt particularly much, she kissed
the place-which always seemed 10
help most Of all
"The Greatest Mother in the
World" has been no less successful.
No soldier ever came to her in agony
that was not cured were curing pos
sible; no community ever lacked for
her assistance; She was there at the
first cry.
What would we do without her?
We would be as lost and lonely as
only those who have cut thumbs with
none to cure and comfort.
For two years she has been away
and we have missed her-ministerine
to the need of our own unfortNnates
and the unfortunates IF other coun'
tries, Now she has come back--the
Mother of America"-and it is fol
us to strengthen her arms for thai
great work for others that enly moth
ers do
We salute her and we pledge oul
Mother of America, greatest IL
the world.

NORTH MISSISSIPPI
RICH WITH OIL AND MINERAL

! Meridian, Miss, October 26.-John
O'Bannon, veteran globe trotter, news
paper man and world famed geolo-
glst is now in Mississippi making
surveys of the states mineral re-
sources for northern interests and is
very much impressed with the fu-
ture possibilities for the discovery of
oil here. In his opinion Northern
Mississippi will be the next great oil
field of the world In an interview
here Monday, Mr.. O'Bannon stated
that the structure of the state is
similar to that of the famous Spindle
top region of Texas, except that the
Mississippi territory embraces a much
larger area.
Regarding the oil geology as sur
veyed by Mr.. O'Bannon he states in
brief the following:
The anticlinal formation of North
Mississippi is geologically perfect in
every respect and in many ways re-
sembles the Spindetop formation
near Beaumont, Texas. According to
petroleum science, oil in commercial
quantities depends upon structure,
formation and reservoir. These are
ideal in the north one-third of Missis-
sippi, which is most patent to the
geological observer and are wholly
within the state.
The anticlinal formation shades of
towards Tennessee until IT reaches
Reel Foot Lake towards the north
east. The anticlinal formation travels
through Tennessee passing ON until
it shades off into the OIL producing
area of Kentucky. The anticlinai
formation of Mississippi have this ad-
vantage, the Appalachian oil belt and
the. Ozaek Oil belt cross and wholly
enclose the apex Of the anticline.
There is no mistake about this as
