FIELDS WELL NO 2
MAY BE DRILLED

A new well Is likely to be drilled
near Fields we'll No. l I'm the very
near future according to information
given the Democrat. And there is
every reason for placing confidence
in the statement since the oil show
ing in Fields No. l which has been
observed by hundreds Of visitors while
the well was being bailed, has attract
ed wide spread attention. Oil mel
connected with the large companies
have been here and have bought acre
age as near the we'll as possible.
Everything looked most favorable
Sunday morning for the bringing in
Of Fields No. 1, and the showing of
oil was growing better every time the
bailer was emptied, and everything
was going fine until the casing broke
about 700 feet down and the test had
to be abandoned.
Those who have watched both tests
say that the history Of Fields No.
Is a parellel to that Of the first test at
Haynesyille, and that the oil showing
here was even better than at Haynes,
vile before the final test made in
Taylor No. 2.
1t is firmly believed by those famil.
lar with the many accidents and de-
lays connected with this test, that
| II the proper procedure had been
followed from the outset, that to-day
Arcadia would be enjoying the pros
perity incident to an oil strike.
Leasing continues active In all di
| rections from the abandoned well
Some leases bringing twice, to three
times as much as before the we'll was
abandoned.

ut constitutes a serious impedi-
ment upon the economic develop
ment of China.
China's Needs.
"As the system stands, there Is
only one uniform rate and no diff
ferentiation of rates. The disad-
vantage is obvious because 1t does
not take into account the econoimc
and social needs of the Chinese
people. China is in need of ma
chinery and metals for which
China would like to impose q tar
if rate even lower than the per
cent. For luxuries such as cigars
and cigarettes they ought to pay
heavy tax. AS II stands, therefore,
the Chinese tariffs are not scien-
tific
THE present tariff has occa-
stoned q serious loss of revenue
upon the Chinese exchequer. The
item of customs duties is an i'm
portant one in the budget of near
iy all countries; for instance, Great
Britain raises IL per cent OF It's
revenue from customs duties
France IS per cent, and the Unit
ed States 35 per cent before the
world war, but the customs reVen-
lie in the Chinese budget as 1t now
stands becomes a comparatively IN
factor. :.
"The present regime makes 1t
difficult for the Chinese govern
ment to ask for revision as IL
was shown in 1912 and in 1918.
even If the effective per cent
should be levied, the revenue re-
sulting will still be hardly ade--
ouate to meet the requirements OF
tho Chinese government"

A TEXTBOOK ON

Course on How to Use the
Mails May Ultimately Be
Established in Every
Educational Institution.

Minneapolis, Mimi. Nov. ga
manual textbook dealing with the
operation Of the entire postoffice
department and methods OF utiliz
ing the gigantic po-.al system, Is
being prepared by committee
here, for introduction in the grade
schools Of this state with the hope
of ultimately establishing this book
In every public educational insti-
tuition in the United States. 1t IL
hope to instruct children while they
are young in how to use the post
office, in an effort to lessen the
mistakes which are costing the
government millions of dollars.
Phillip e. Carlson, of this city.
president Of the Minnesota Educa-
tional association, is head of the
committee which is drawing up the
textbook. Approval of the under
taking has been given by Postmas-
ter General Will Hays, who, after
the manual is completed, will give
his and the departments authori-
cation to use the book in the pub
lie schools, according to Postmas-
ter r. A. Purdy, of Minneapolis,
president of the National Associa-
tion Of Postmasters.
The National Association Of
Postmasters is pledged to the
move. the head of the organiza-
tion announced.
Mr.. Carlson declared that not
enough attention was given to the
postal subject at educational meet
ings, and he announced that a.
the next annual convention of the
organization, this subject would
hold an important place.
Lack OF knowledge of how to
use the postoffice properly is cost
ing the government millions of dol
lars" said Mr.. Purdy. 1.-THE in
struction which this book proposes
to give, will obviate to a great de-
gree, many of the improperly
made out money orders, registered
mail losses, improperly addressed
letters and packages, destruction
OF merchandise by faulty packing,
and the like"
Completion of the textbook
probably will be after the first of
the year.

SANITY OF ROY
GARDNE R To b:
INQUIRED INTO
Two Indictments, One Con-
tanning Four Counts, Are
Returned Against Alleged
Mail Bandit.
(By Tho Associated Press.)

Phoenix, Ariz, Nov 2S.--TWo In
dictments one containing four
counts, charging Roy Gardner, es-
capped convict mailrobber, of at
tempts to rob the United States
mails at Maricopa, Ariz., on No
vember 3, and at Phoenix on No
vember IS, were returned by the
grand jury in the United States
district court here late today.
Gardner pleaded not guilty to both
indictments.
Immediately after Gardner en-
tered his plea to the first indict
ment, his attorney, Carl A. Davis,
asked and received permission to
file q written motion in which
Gardner asked the court to have
a jury determine his sanity at the
time of his alleged offense.
"Mcntally Unsound."
The written motion filed by
Gardeners attorney contained a
statement by Mr.. Davis which de-
clared that the defendant was mot
guilty OF the offense charged
against him. for the reason that at
the time referred to in the indict-
ment he was mentally unsound
and did not have q criminal in
tent.
Attorney Davis asked that the
case not be set for trial immediate~
ly but that a delay of week or
ten days be granted.
'T understand that you desire
this delay" said Judge William II.
Sawtelle, who presided, sin order
to secure the presence of witnesses
from outside the jurisdiction of
this court and for that purpose
alone"
Eyes, your honor" replied Mr..
Davis Both cases then were set
for trial on December 5.
Thomas A. Flynn, United States
district attorney previously had
that his office was
ready to proceed with the cases
After the cases had been set for
trial Mr.. Flynn asked that botn
cases be tried by the same jury at
the same time. To this Mr. Davis
objected and the court announced
tlldl ~ NOulu Iuie IdltE on lIllS
point.
Tho cases involve different
characters of evidence, different
issues are different and in every
way and should not be tried by the
same jury at the same time" Mr..
Davis said.
Plea of Not Guilty.
When asked to plead to the Sec
ond indictment, charging Gardner
with having committed the rob-
berry at Maricopa, the defense
asked for time to examine the in
dictment before entering a plea.
The court said that a plea of no,
guilty could be entered today but
that it would allow the defense
two days to file any demurrer to
the Indictment. With this UNDER
standing the plea Of not guilty was
entered, The prosecution was al
lowed two days after the filing of
the demurrer by the defense In
which to file an answer.
