INSPECTS MILLER ROADS
State Highway Engineer. Visited the Roads in Miller County.

Little Rock, July 12.-(SpeciaD - R. c. Limerick, State Highway Engi- neer, is in Miller county inspecting district work. It is announced by the state highway commissioner, Wilson, that it will be the policy of the com mission to keep Mir. Limerick in the field at least one-half of his time. This is a radical departure from the custom followed heretofore. Another change proposed is to divide the state into 4 or districts, with resident engineer in each. The road improvement dis trict engineers would then report to the district engineers, instead of dir ectly to the state engineer. This is the system that is used by the govern ment. MT. Wilson says that he hopes there will be a very considerable re- sumption of highway construction within the next thirty days.

 negotiations which had progressed between Mir. Kolb and the Board Ol Trustees of the school were dropped yesterday, according to Dr. W. B. Dor. man, chairman of the board

ADVANTAGE OF BUM ROADS
Had Roads Been Good, Auto Thieves Would Have Gotten Away with Car.

Mena, July 10-Philosophers have said there is some good in everything, but none familiar with Polk county's bad roads believed it until today, when a good deed was credited to the road between Eagleton and Mena, rated as one of the worst of the bad ones. A pair of young auto thieves travelled from Little Rock to Polk county in stolen car, and had no trouble until they reached the Eagle ton road. There the stolen car broke down, and. despairing of further travel. the fleeing pair left the car and went ahead on foot. The aban- doned car attracted attention, and when Sheriff Thornton investigated it was learned the car was wanted ip Little Rock No trace of the two theives has been found, but the car will be held to await the coming of it's rightful owner.

GERMANY RECEIVES RESOLUTI'NS
Gets Copy of Measure Ending War
 With the United States.

Berlin, July 9.-Ellis Loring Dresel, United States commissioner in Ber- lin, today communicated to the Ger man Feorign office an unofficial copy of the compromise Porter-Knox reso- lution ending the state of war between the United States and Germany. This copy was the first detailed informa- tion received by the Berlin govern ment concerning the action of the Un- ited States.
 The afternoon newspapers also print the full text of the resolutions, of which only a brief review pro viously had been given to the Ger man public. Active unofficial nego- tiations are being carried on between the American commission and the German Foreign Office concerning a final peace treaty.
 The Reichstag adjourned before the full text of the peace resolution was received by Foreign Minister Dosen, and consequently the docu- ment was not submitted to the For eign Axairs Committee. Although the Reichstag does not reconvene until September 2, it is likely that the For eign Axairs Committee will be called to Berlin earlier if the peace negotia- tions require their presence. Even the full Reichstag may be reconvened before the date set, as it is within the power of President Loebe of that body to do so if he thinks it necessary.

OIL IS DISCOVERED NEAR
 BONNEVILLE ON THE RED
Believed Red River Special Oil Com. pany Has a 50.Barrel Producer.
 Railing Is Continued.

Bonneville, June 10.-It is believed here that the Red Rive Special Oil Company has an oil well at it's test four miles southwest of Bonneville that will yield 50 barrels a day as a bumper" and if gas pressure is found it may become flowing well. There was much excitiment today when the test was made and many visitors are here from Fort Smith and Oklahoma towns, including oil operators, scouts and lease dealers.
 Railing on this we'll began at 2 p. m. today, and was continued until p. m. The driller occasionally stopped bail ing to drill little deeper in the hope of striking gas. A standard rig is be- ing used, and the hole now is 2,275 feet deep. Railing and drilling will be continued alternately tonight. Showing Three Weeks Ago.
 The first showing of oil was found in the we'll three weeks ago. The drlller closed down promptly ana cas- ing and bailing tools were ordered. These were received Friday and the test began today.
 The we'll is being drilled by Pitts Bros and Striker for the Red River Special Oil Company. D. E. Brown is the driller. Considerable acreage was blocked in this vicinity when the oil showing was first discovered, and there has been little speculation in | leases since then.
 | The we'll was "spudded in" in March, but the bit hung in the hole last month and considerable delay | was caused by a fishing job."

CAR OF TOMATOES DAILY
Blevins, Prescott and Arcadia Crop
 Shipments Are Booming.

Hope. July 11.-Advices from Ble- wins stated that L. H. Thomas, who promoted the tomato growing industry at Blevins, Prescott and Arcadia, is handling car of tomatoes day from each of the three points and that he is we'll pleased with the returns from the crop. It is said the Arkansas to- matoes bring fancy price and find a ready sale.
 It will be remembered that Mir. Thomas came to Hope last fall and winter on invitation of the Chamber of Commerce and undertook to get Hope farmers to plant an acreage to tomatoes that would enable them to make carload shipments from this point, but it was new business and some thought 1t might prove disas- trous experiment and the matter was finally abandoned for the present sea son, but there are many farmers in the community who believe that 1t would prove profitable to them to combine tomatoes with the other truck crops grown here, and it is very prob able that an attempt will be made this fall to sign up for a sufficient acre. age to insure carlot shipments.
 Tomatoes are easily grown in this climate, and the crop when properly handled, will yield returns equal to any other truck crop. The experi- enced tomato grower believes it is the best crop that may be grown. Mr. Thomas offered to contract for the tomatoes at $1.OO a bushel in ad- vance.

NEW PRINCIPAL FOR THE
 MAGNOLIA AeeIE SCHOOL
q. A. Oyerstreet Will Assume Duties This Week at Magnolia; To
 Select Faculty.

Hope, July 11.-C. A. Overstreet of Magnolia was elected principal of the Magnolia School of Agriculture at meeting of the Board of Trustees here today. Mir. Overstreet was present, and after conference with the board, said he would accept.
 The meeting was presided over by President w. B. Dorman of Nashville, and attended by N. C. McCrary Of Ashdown and A. H. Scanlan of Bussy. Proxies of Mrs. c. L. Renfro and R.S. Warnock were voted for the new principal, making the choice unani- nous. The meeting was an executive session at Hotel Barlow.
 MT. Overstreet is a graduate or Mississippi A. and M. College. For two years he was superintendent or the agricultural school at Chesbrough, La., coming from there to Magnolia, where he served six years as county agent under the Extension Depart ment. In discussing his new duties today. he said he felt that he was shouldering great responsibilities, but with thd aid of the people of the dis trict hoped to put the Magnolia school into the rank of the first class. He said preparation had been made for holding the short course for the club boys and girls beginning next Monday, and that preparations were being made to care for approximately 300 students.
 Under the law creating the agricul- tural schools the principal is the rank ing executive of the schools, and must be a graduate of reputable A. and M. College. Doctor Dorman, president Of the board, called attention to this Ia" in giving out an interview with re1er- ence to the election of principal.
 Selection of the faculty for the Mag nolia school will be left to the new nresident, who will submit names of his appointees to the trustees for ap- proval. He expects to nave iuii corps of teachers within the next few weeks.
 "Wa want the people of the state to know we have been doing our best to secure an able man for the presidency of the Magnolia school" said Doctor Dorman, speaking for the board Of trustees this afternoon "The ruling of the attorney general has delayed our selection. We believe that in the selection of MT. Overstreet we have &C., cured one of the best men possible.
 "The Magnolia school is one of the few agricultural schools in the coun- try to take the steps necessary to qualify under the Smith-Hughes act, which places the teaching of applied agriculture on scientific and practi- cal basis, and the school will receive federal aid in it's work"
