CLUB BOYS TO JUDGE STOCK
Club Boys to Judge Stock at the
 Farmers Short Course,

Fayetteville, May 10.-(SpeciaD - Stock judging for club boys of the state will be one of the important fea- lures of the Farmers Short Course to be held at Fayetteville at the College of Agriculture on August 16, F, IS and 19. Two contests with valuable prizes for the winning contestants will be held.
 International Livestock Judging con- test for club boys at the short course will be the State contest to select the team to represent Arkansas in the International Livestock Judning con- test to be held in Atlanta, October 19- 21. This team will consist of the three boys winning the three highest places. But to further increase in terest in this contest a county live stock judging contest will be held, three boys from each county carrying on club work, competing.
 The three boys in the county team must be bona fide club members and shall be selected within the county by means of a county contest where there are more than three boys who wish to enter. W. J. Jernigan, state boys and girls club agent, announces that a handsome trophy, probably silver loving cup will be offered as the prize In this contest.
 ''The idea in offering this trophy to the best county team is to stimulate interest in the state judging contest, so as to make it big affair in itself, a big feature in club work, and one of the big attractions of the annual farm CTS short courses" says MT. Jernigan. "The primary idea and purpose of the state contest is to select the team that will represent Arkansas in the Inter- national livestock judging contest, yet we want to make the state live stock judging contest big feature in bIs' club york;

New Party Secures Stragetic Loca.
 ti0n ill Washington.

Washington, May S-Women voters have obtained stragetic political head quarters directly overlooking Con- gress. The National Women's party announced today it's purchase of the historic Washington house opposite the east entrance of the capitol, already known as the back capitol which it will convert into political watch tower for women.
 The house, which is on the elevated terrace facing the capitol was the actual meeting place of Congress it. self from 1915 to 1919 while the capi- tol was being rebuilt, and was the scene of President Monroe's inaugura- tion.
 ''It is not merely headquarters for our party that we plan" said Elsie Hill, chairman of the Womans party, but an embassy for the women of the nation, a clubhouse where they may stay, a bureau where they can se- cure information; in short, center of thought and acticity for women and advantage point from which they may keep Congress under pepetual obser- vation.
 Ut is close to the capitol, there fore an ideal site for lobbyists. It will also afford the combination of office and living quarters, which makes it possible for the officials and workers of our party to be constantly lon the job," if there is a job to be done"

CONTRACT LET FOR THREE
 WELLS EAST Of ASKDOWN
Roberts Oil Corporation Let's Con- tract to Love BrOs., Fl Dorado
 Oil Operators.

New interest was added to the oil enthusiasm here Monday when it was announced by F. F. Roberts of the Roberts Oil Corporation, who have contracted to drill two and one-half miles east of Ashdown, that he had let drilling contracts for three wells to be sunk on their acreage, the contracts being let to Love Brothers of Fl Dor ado. Followers of the oil news dur ing the early weeks of the El Dorado boom will remember the name of Love Brothers, which appeared in connection with a fresh gusher every few days. These boys probably hold the record for the number of big pro- ducers brought in by them and the successful and rapid manner in which they handled them. They will enter this field with a record of real and big accomplishments behind them. If the oil is here there is every reason to be- lieve that the Roberts people have us- ed excellent judgment in selecting the men to go after it. They announce that drilling will begin within 20 days.

Especial Cerrsspendsnee to Warrington
Hsrsid.)
VIENNA, March 2.-The chief
question in political circles and oy
the papers is the Paris agreement
on German reparations. The general
opinion in Germany that 1t Is i'm
possible to pay this amount Is re-
echoed in Austria. The papers point
out that the sum demanded OF Ger
MANY amounts to about $6o,00o,ooo.-
900, which is over twice the amount
of the national debt of the United
States. 1t Is held that for the
United States to attempt to pay this
debt would be a tremendous under
taking, and for Germany to pay
twice as much is impossible.
Considerable space Is given In the
papers to expressions from allied
countries. The statement Of J. M.
Keynes is printed with headlines In
the Austrian papers. Any apparent
disagreement between England and
France is also featured.
Krone Declines
The announcement that govern
ment credits will not be given to
Austria and that the only credits
to be extended would be by private
institutions has been interpreted as
equivalent to the statement that
Austria could hope for no credits.
This resulted in a fall in the krone
from $50 to $50 to the dollar.
In spite Of the above. announce
ments have been made in the papers
that the Italian government has ap-
propriated 6o,O00.000 lire for indus
trial and financial assistance to
Austria. At the current rate this
amounts to 1900. 100000 kronen.
| The financial difficulties of the
CITY Of Vienna are illustrated by
the announcement that one-eighth
of all gas bills must be paid in ad-
! vance. This sum is calculated by
the bills for the previous year and
all persons not paying within II
days will have their service discon-
tinued.
The Credit Anstalt, one of the
largest banks Of Vienna, is increas-
ing its capital from 320.0e0.00o u
400, 900, 900 kronen. One-fifth OF the
new capital is taken by Dutch in
terests and the remainder by the
present stockholders.
A new system Of payment Of the
bread ration has been adopted By
which a sliding price scale Is es.
tablished according to the income OF
the purchaser; that is persons with
incomes less than 1900 kronen pay
8 kronen for a loaf of bread; thos'
with incomes between 10000 and
10000 kronen pay Is kronen and
those with incomes over 100000 pay
a rate varying from so to so kronen
This is an attempt to make the
wealthy people pay for the deficit
which the state has to meet in fur
nishing bread to the poor.
