who is ambitious himself, to own a tricycle., calls it a Pollycycle. It is an appropriate name, because the tri- cycle don't need Polly to pull it.
 The Arch Street oil Well.
 I again visited the Arch street oil we'll and found them busy fishing at a depth of 3,005 feet for a baler that had come loose in it several days before. Twenty-six hundred and forty feet is half mile so I call that pret- ty deep fishing, being right at half mile below sea level They had just gotten in some new fishing tools and expected to get it out that day. They were expecting in a new sand rope and a new cable, each 4,000 feet long. and intend going down at least $500 feet, and if indications are good then they will go on down to 4,000 feet. MT J. L. Williams, the manager, in formed me that there are now AZ different oil outfits drilling for oil in Arkansas and each is confident that the prospects for oil justifies the expense of drilling. In his opinion all of them can not be mistaken and before long we will have one or more good oil wells in Arkansas. Up to date it has cost this company S4500O to back up the opinion of their ex- perts. and here's hoping they will get a thousand per cent dividend or more on their investment, for they are one of the finest punches of men in the county.
 The Mabelvale hole was only 800 feet deep when the drillers quit it. probably for lack of money to go deeper.
 This company has lost half of it's time lately on account of oyerflows. Then, on top of that, the Ferguson Lake dam broke and oyerflowed them again. The farmers had picnic fish ing then, for Clear Creek was heaped up with fish, and all who went after them got all they wanted. It is re ported that the Lakeside Club is mak- ing new lake there and will allow the farmers of the community to fish in it free of charge.
 s. B. Bracy, the Little Rock drug gist, is half owner with Henry Mize of fine 440-acre stock farm near Landmark. They have four fine Hol- steins, which they bought of the gov ernment at Camp Pike, and two which they bought in Wisconsin.
 Right out next to the line of Saline County I received a number of com plaints about subscribers being unable to get their Pulaskians. They think others take them out of their mail boxes. They may be right, for I also heard that two missing letters to the Pulaskian had been taken from the box, and one lady informed me that her mail box, even, was stolen. Peo- pie should be careful how they fool with Uncle Sam's mail When they steal out of a mailbox, if it is nothing but circular, they are only breaking into the pen"
 It was getting too dry at Wye, so I decided to ramble, but I did hate to leave my strawberries. My first stop was with Carl Nelson at Olmstead. His crop is looking fine. He had cotton eight inches high with six l leaves on it. He had experimented with fertilizer and acid The fertil- CTS showed up above twice as we'll as the acid The fertilizer cost about $55 ton and the acid $3O. The gar den looks extraordinarily good but it is Mrs. Nelson's and not his, as the olmstead correspondent reported. J. B. Davenport was doing his fourth days blowing for this summer. In the spring he waited on his sick neighbors and caught the flu They planted his crop for him. He got his corn worked out by paying $5 day and dinner
 Walker Hall, the gin man. had the I finest corn l saw. It was thigh high.
 Everybody was busy in their crops and were getting the cotton clean, which is growing fine. There is a fine lot of cotton planted.
 w A. Harris had mare to get in a bog He got eleven men to- gether and they pulled her out. He went back later and she was beating her head on the ground, evidently trying to commit suicide She bursted one eye out.
 Miss Myrtle Watts. the matron at the Women's home, informed me Dr. Nina Y. Harding was expected out i'm mediately to take charge and the girls
