DISTRIBUTING SWEET
 POTATOES AT HOME
Kiln Dried Product, all Raised in the
 Miller Territory, Will Be Sold in Ttxas Towns.

Texarkana, Dec. 4.-The pinnacle of success in the marketing of kiIn-dried sweet potatoes from the Texarkana district was reached today when J. s. Hargis, a prominent Bow.e county far mer, left for Mckinney, Texas, to make arrangements for the distribu- tion of 20 carloads of Miller and Bowie county sweet potatoes.
 The work of kiln drying the local sweet potato crop and the marketing of the product was taken up With the local farmers by the Texarkana Cham Der of Commerce three years ago, and has to great extent been responsible for the success that the farmers have had in marketing their pato,oes with. out large loss due to cecay.
 Seven carloads of sweet potatoes were delivered at Mckinney last sea son, and out of the entire shipment only one crate was lost on account o decay Like the crop Of last year, the 20 carloads that will be shipped this year are in the hands or the loca farmers association.
 This great increase in the number of cars of potatoes to be shipped has been brought about by the determin ation of the farmers to marke, DO tato of uniform grade and packing, and not to use the haphazard methods that had previously been emp.oyed fin the marketing of the local crop, resulting in large losses.
 The preparations for the marketing of the sweet potato crop began this year when the product was dug. The farmers were careful handling the potatoes, and they were placed in the crates in the field. The crates were placed in the drying Kilns, and then carefully regarded
 The local farmers are forced to seek a foreign market for their po- tato crop for the local produce houses are not in a position to handle them Mckinney is being used as a distribut- ing center.

 Over 300 feet of the drill stem was blown out of the hole and high above the derrick, the point bury1ng itself 20 feet in the ground when it fell. The blowing in caused a report which was heard several miles from the we'll The roar of the escaping gas today al so was audible for several miles. No Indication of OiL
 There was no indication of oil in the flow of gas. This was a big disap- spointment to the owners of the we'll Hwever, plans already are on foot :,c dispose of the gas to both industrial and domestic consumers. Ninety pel cent of the stock in the name of the Home Oil and Gas Company is owned by residents of Ell Dorado. Ike Eel seminal is president and w. J. Miles is secretary and treasurer. The hole was spndded in, less than 30 days ago. ."Of course we were hoping we might strike oil, but none of us is discouraged in having found an abun- dant supply of gas said MT. Felsen- thai today. 'TY1is is a most opportune time for the we'll to come in, as the supply of gas seems to be diminishing However, we will not be in a position to offer to industrial users or gas a price lower than that of any adjacent towns"
 The blowing in of the we'll created much excitement in El Dorado and it is expected that the town will be filled to overflowing by tomorrow. Local hotels today received many requests of reservations, indicating that the news spread rapidly. Many oil scouts visit ed the we'll today.

SCHOOL PETITIONS READY
Superintendent Bond Says Proposed
 Changes Permit Tax as Needed.

Little Rock, Dec. 6.-With hundreds
 of petitions for the proposed consti- tutional amendment on school taxes
 coming in daily, J.L. Bond, superinten-
 dent of the public instruction, yester- day said that he will be able to file
 the petition in the office of the secre- ,tary of state early this week. aFhe measure removes the present 12-mill limit Ito which the amount of school
 tax is confined at present, and allows each district to vote the amount of its individual needs.
 "The proposed amendment" MT. Bond said, twill make is possible for Arkansas to take it's proper place in educational rank among other states. Up to the present, the matter of school tax has been largely uncontrolled, ex- cept that maximum limit was set. The proposed amendment by vesting lthe quorum court with authority to re-
 duce the rate if found too high provides direct machinery gor checking over
 assessments, At present. any district may vote 12-mill tax, regardless of
 whether the district needs that high a
 rate. The proposed amendment, while it removes the maximum limit provides a very adequate means of cutting down extravagances in the school taxes, at the same time guaranteeing the power to raise a sufficient amount for the
 schools needs"

 WHAT TO EAT
Avoid Indigestion, Sour Acid Stomach, Heartburn, Gas
 on Stomach, Etc.

Chronic "acid stomach is exceeding ly dangerous and sufferers should do either one of two things.
 Either they can go on a limited and often disagreeabie diet, avoiding foods that disagr with them, or they can eat as they please in reason and make it a practice to counteract the effect of the harmful acids and prevent the for- nation of gas or sourness by the use of a little Bisurated Magnesia at their meals.
 There is probably no better, safer or more reliable stomach antacid than Bisurated Magnesia. which you can get from any drug store, and it is widely used for this purpose. It has no direct action on the stomach and is not di- gestent But teaspoonful of the DOW der or 8 couple of five grain tablets taken in little water with the food will neutralize the excess acidity which may be present and prevent it's further formation This removes the whole cause of the trouble and the meal di- gests naturally and healthfully with out need of pepsin pills or artificial digestents.
 Try this plan and eat what yon want at your next meal and see if this isn't the best advice you ever had on what to aat''

 For the second time within week, Captain John Bulger, of the Putnam police force held up, while it was pass ing through the city on a motor truck, a cargo of bottled-in- bond whiskey. A week ago Sunday he temporarily seized 300 cases of liquor. valued at sl9,10N. and held it until he had communicated with federal prohibition officials who agreed to investigate. Late Saturday af- ternooon he seized truck carrying ii0 cases of bottled in bond whissey that was being sent from New York ciry to the New England Cordial Company of Providence. The liquor was frs. no- ticed by Ralph Young, of Danielson lei'- uty automobile inspector. He at ones mo- tified Captain Bulger that the cargo was headed for Putnam, and he himself came to this city. Taking the captain in his motorcycle side car, the two set nu- st ter the truck and overlook t near the Prentice ice house on School street. When held up, the driver of the truck showed the officials two permits, rne ai- lowing the concern for which he worAed to carry the liquor, and another allow ing the New England Cordial Company to have it in it's possession. The permits covered 200 cases, and investigation of the truck showed that it was carrying only 150. At first, according to the po- lice, the driver, Joseph Smola of New York, refused to account for the miss ing 50 cases, but later told Captain Bulger that before reaching Putnam he had transferred part of his load to an other truck that he secured. He stated that his load was too large for the truck he was driving, and that he had not been able to make some of the hills in this vicinity.
 Smola and the liquor were taken to Putnam police headquarters, and Cap tain Bulger telephoned to Miles F. Swee- ney. federal prohibition enforcement off cer at Providence. The latter told the until agents from his office could get to Putnam. He also stated that he would have other officers on the lookout for the truck that Smola said had gone ahead of him with the 50 cases Of whis- key which were missing from 7 loal taken at Putnam. Later in the day Agents Dunn and Clark from the Prov idence officials office arrived in Putnam and escorted the truck of whiskey to that city to see that it reached the destl- nation to which it was assigned.
 The load of liquor that Captain Bull ger held up a week ago was bound for Taunton, Mass. It was released from Putnam upon the advice of Daniel O. Connell, federal prohibition officer at Boston, who agreed to see that it reach ed it's proper destination, and who stated that he would investigate to see that the permits held by the truck driver were authentic This load was held up by Captain Bulger because the permits were
