HARD WORK

1From The Beacon-Herald)
 Speaking of hard work-which ev- ~erybody dodges when he can-one of the hardest jobs around Camden is getting up acreage for drilling con- tracts.
 When the boom first struck El Do- rado it seemed as though everybody in Ouachita county was anxlous to nut in some land in order to secure devolpment.
 But apparently there has been a change of heart Several attempts have been made to block up acreage in this county but so far all efforts have just fallen short of actual ac- complishment.
 There are two projects being work ed on at this time, but it seems that the promoters are only able to get inst so far. Just about the time they see success in sight some one who has signed up certain amount of acre. age either comes in and withdraws hls acreage altogether or reduces It by about half.
 It is apparent that some people eN- pect their neighbors to put up the acreage for this development work and then htey will step in and reaF the full benefit.
 But anohter thing is also apparent and that is that some one IS gong to have to loosen up and put his lant in these projects or there is not go ing to be any development m thl' county. The men with the money ar' not going to put large sums of none! into the exploration in this count! unles the land owners are also Will ing to take a chance.
 In order oreap any benefits tn oil must first be found and in or der to find the oil capital must b induced to search for it.
 ey who are ready to begin drilling Il
 There are several men with mon this county whenver the proper Tn ducements are put forth. And Qua chita county land owners are no yet in position to dictate the term to the drilling companies.

At last the talking movies are a reality. A few years ago when they first tried them out, they worked pret ty badly, like all new things. But Wendell McMahaiel and Orlando E.. Kellum seems to have perfected the mechanism at last, so that they ab- solutely synchronize-the words and the pictures. The people move, a. bout on the screene and do actually talk. There isn't jarring whir of the ordinary talking machine and there isn't a pause in between the motion of the lips and the sound sup posed to come from them. The achie- vement is really quite wonderful. They will be introduced in pictures shown in New York's Town Hall this summer.

New York, May12,-The Great White Way is 30 years old! No wonder some people think it's begin ming to settle down bit. The term and the reality of it's whiteness and brightness had its inception in an electric sign on the building that pre- ceded the flatiron structure at Twen- ty-third street, Fifth Avenue, and Broadway. It startled the eyes of the natives as we'll as the out-of-towners with the flashing announcement that "Manhattan Beach is Swept by Ocean Breezes," Not long after this soup manufacturer out bid the Beach peo- pie for the space and the sign told the glories of soup. "Fifty-seven varieties" of pickles were the next product to be lauded in electricity and the signs came thick and fast af- ter that. The flasher" signs in those days were operated by a shift of electricians pulling switches from dusk until midnight. Now motors do the work.

Pat Daly has come east ot the Rockies for the first time in 31 years since he started prospecting in the Northwest. Pat is the recent labor candidate for the legislature in British Columbia and in spite of that fact, he is down here in New York City comforting with his lawyer about a mining claim for $1,960.000. He is enjoying the visit; but he has grown so much interested ln proving that jazz music originated in Ireland that he isn't giving his entire atten- ton to that little less than two mll- lion dollars. He went to cabaret the other night and carried with him a tin flute which is his favorite com panion. and for which he paid ten cents in Nome. His dinner compan- ions persuaded him to pipe up bit on the tin whistle, and he did, With such great success that the orchestra stopped while he sooed his argument anent the jazz.

Do you remember all the calamities which were about to befall the nation if women took up jury duty? We'll, listen to this, and think of the "told you so:" Raymond Taylor, a lawyer of Newark, N. J., just across our Hudson river, applied to the Orange District Court the other day to have verdict recently rendered by a jury of women against clients of his, set aside because Lloyd Beatty, the op- posing counsel, had taken Tessie Grund, of the jury, out to lunch. Miss Grund admits the lunch but denies any conversation about the trial. Furthermore, it seemed quite natural that she should be invited to lunch without any ulterior motive of that sort.

More than ever will New York this summer be the haven of the ambiti- ous students of music and the girls from all over the country whose families and friends, sweethearts and neighbors have assured them that a future on the operatic stage awaits their choice. Free voice trials will be opened within few days at the chorus school of the Metropolitan Opera Company. All one needs now in order to say that one has sung be- fore Gatti- Casazza is the railroad fare to the metropolis and enough nerve to go through with the effort. It truly is a splendid opportunity for girls seeking operatic experience and training.

There is considerable enthusiasm over the proposal to change the name of Herald Square to Roosevelt Souare'. It would be interesting to have this triangle where Broadway cuts through Sixth Avenue once more bear the name of a great American. Before it was Herald Square, it was

The days when profiteering could go unprotected have passed, even when the victim is merely ones hus- band. So, at least, thinks Royal w. Smith. His wife boosted the rent of his room from $4 to $5 week and he just up and left her. He seemed to have a considerable part of the courtroom sympathy, too, when she sued him for separation and he made his explanation.

Springtime is springtime with em- phasis over at Ellis Island. The im- migrants being detained there while waiting for admission to this country were for the most part peasants in the old country. They pruned grape vines in Italy, or titled wheatfields in Russia, or tended the fruit trees in Greece. And spring to them has a call which they cannot refuse. So there on land without tree or plant, they are finding rapturous delight in getting the soil ready for flowers and planting them, and before long FL lis Island will bloom like a garden. The Red Cross is furnishing the bulbs and the immigrants look to succeed ing immigrants to care for the flow CTS.
