EDITORS ENJOY
ANNUAL OUTING

After a business session al
Hot Springs lasting two days
followed by an excursion over a
part of Southern Arkansas, the
annual meeting of the Arkan-
sas Press Association came to
an end with the arrival of the
Press Special at Little Rock
over the Missouri-Pacific Satur-
day night at twelve o'clock. The
business session was profitable
and the excursion was enjoyed
very much by the $50 persons
making the trip.
Every minute of the two days
spent at Hot Springs was full
of interest for the editors and
their families. The Business
Mems League, as well as indi-
vidual citizens of the City of
Vapors, did a great deal in the
way of supplying entertain
ment at times when the associ-
alton was not in business ses-
sion. The entertainment in
cluded automobile drives over
the city and adjacent noun
tains on the Government Reser-
walton, a splendid luncheon at
the famous DeSoto pavilion,
supplied by the Business Mems
League, visits to the ostrich and
alligator farms and other forms
of entertainment. At the De-
Soto luncheon Rev. w. T. Sui
livan of this city, who was in
Hot Springs for the baths, was
called on to offer thanks. J. w.
Dillon, manager of the public
utilities of Hot Springs, devoted
much time to entertaining the
visitors and saw TO II that tne
official badge of the Association
served as a pass over all street
car lines. Courtesies were also
extended by management of the
picture shows and of the ALI.
gator farm.
The entire membership were
guests of Mr.. and Mrs. John
A. Riggs at a house warming at
their beautiful new country
home on Park Avenue Thurs
day evening. The occasion was
most enjoyable and will not
soon be forgotten by those at
tending. Mr.. Riggs is editor of

DR.. Busey, who had faith in
the Ell Dorado territory and
risked Z small fortune in COM
pleting the discovery well, as
sisted in carrying the editors
over the field, which presented
a veritable forest of derricks,
and he took pains to point out
those things of special interest.
The producing sand in the Ell
Dorado field is encountered at
a depth varying from 2,1S5 to
2,259 feet and wells are usual
ly completed within thirty days
from time of spudding in.
One of the first men the
writer saw on alighting from
the train at Ell Dorado was Mr..
S. B. Baird of Hamburg, an
old friend. Acquaintanship with
him began when he was editing
q newspaper at Ell Dorado a
number of years ago and the
writer, then a boy of seven, was
living there. toth left Ell Do

in 1888, and neither had been
back to the now famous oil city
until last Saturday. Mr.. Baird
was not on the special but had
come to Ell Dorado from Ham
burg in order to again meet his
newspaper friends.
The final stop of the trip was
made at Gurdon, "the gateway

he was a candidate for govern
or in the last Democratic pri-
mary election.
Taken as whole, the city OF
Hot Springs entertained royal
ly and the association members
were glad they had selected Hot
Springs for their 1921 meeting.
Leaving Hot Springs Friday
morning on a special train pro-
vided by the Missouri-Pacific,
the editorial party started on
its annual excursion. The spec
ial was made up of coaches
from the famous Sunshine
Special" and was up to the
usual high standard of equip
ment on that splendid system.
Accompanying the train and al
ways on the alert to look to the
comfort of their charges" were
J. w. Kearney of st. Louis, a
former Arkansas newspaper
man. now publicity manager
for the system; c. X. Boutwell,
of Little Rock, assistant gener-
al passenger agent, and H. L.
Fontaine of Little Rock, travel
ing passenger agent.
Mr.. and Mrs. Curtis Stout of
Little Rock, the former of
whom is district manager of
the Little Rock District for the
Southwestern Bell Telephone.
Co., also made the trip and eX-
tended many courtesies to add.
pleasure to the outing. A tele-
phone was installed in the train
and at each station where a
stop was made a lineman would.
be ready with wires to connect
with long distance. Free con-.
nection was given to all parts
of the state and the editors
kept in close touch with the
folks back home. The equip,
ment on the train was in charge
Of Robert Williams, son of the
late Nal Williams of this city,
he was obliging and handled all
calls promptly. Mr.. and Mrs.
Stout distributed souvenirs to|
members of the association for
the Southwestern-Bell Co. The
most unique of these was a mi

from the beautifully colored
clays at Benton, and in the
shape of a telephone receiver.
The first stop out of Hot
Springs was at Arakdelphia,
where an hours stay was made.
About fifty automobiles were
provided by that progressive
little college city and a drive
over the city was made. Among
the interesting places visited

committee of the association in
structed to take this matter up
with the individual members
and determine whether or not
the club house would be built.
The site is on a lofty elevation
overlooking the town and river
and the view afforded is lovely.
Leaving Glenwood at 6:30
o'clock Saturday morning, the
editorial party proceeded to Ell
Dorado, Arkansas oil town. At
the station there was a recep-
ton committee from the Cham
Der of Commerce to meet the
editors. j. D. Trimble, former
ly of this city, was on this
committee and did everything
possible to make the stay in
Ell Dorado pleasant. Following
luncheon at which C. A. Berry
Of the Ell Dorado Morning News
was POSTMASTER, cars were pro-
vided and the party driven over
Arkansas first oil field.
Happenings at Ell Dorado in
the few months that have pass
ed since DR.. Samuel T. Busey
brought in the discovery well
constitute a marvellous trans
formation. From a quiet and
dull town Ell Dorado has, in the
brief period of five months,
been transformed into a hust-
ling city Of 10000 population.
Property values have scared
and money is lavishly spent on
every hand. As evidence Of the
growth Of this oil town we give
the following figures: Bank de-
posits increased the first three
months after the oil strike from
from S1,5OO,OOO to S5,O00,000,
and postoffice receipts for the
first quarter from $4,000 to
$4,000. The town is crowded
with people and everybody
seems to be doing a land office
business.
The proven territory in the
oil field is now about seven
miles in length and two wide
running northwest and south
east. On it there are at pres.
ent 40 producing wells ano
about two hundred other der.
ricks up at which drilling is
either going on or about to com.
mence. Daily production ran,
ges from 100 to 5000 barrels
per well and the present totaI
output amounts to $4,000 bar,
rels daily. To take care OF
production several companies
have "tank FARMS" the capacity
of the tanks averaging about
$4,000 barrels. Pipe lines lead
out from every direction of the
field to the loading racks along
the railroad (seveH of these are
now in use) and the oil is run
into tank cars for shipment. Not

ually large number OF pretty
homes in Arkadelphia for the

ladies of the town were in wait
ing and proceeded to serve a.
splendid barbecue dinner. The
appetites of the excursionists
were first-class and the splen-
didly prepared food provided
by the good ladies Of the town
was all that could be desired. 1t
was shortly after lunch that
the unfortunate incident in
which Louis Schaefer, u year
old son of Mr.. and Mrs. Robert
o. Schaefer of Little Rock, came
near losing his life in the river.
Although young Schaefer was
rescued, the incident cast a ]
gloom over the party which
lasted all afternoon and many
who had their bathing suits
along with the intention of TAX
ing a dip in the river refrained /.
from doing so.
Glenwood-on-the-Caddo is a ]
pretty town nestled among the
Ozarks. It will in all probabil-
ity become an important sum-
mer resort when the Jefferson
highway is completed thru that
section. The people are awak-
ening to the possibilities and
are converting much of the cut
over lands into truck farms,
from which much truck will be
shipped in future.
With a population OF only
about 800 people, Glenwood en-

By AssocIated Press


 Paris, January S.-Walker D. Hines, arbitrator in the distribution of Ger man inland shipping under the peace treaty has awarded France 1872 per cent of Germanys Rhine fleet
 France is given 25300O tons of barges and tugs with a capacity of s24900 horsepower. The award is final and cannot be appealed.
 MT. Hines decision was announced at a hearing today atte<ded by the rep rdsentatives of Germany and France. The disposition of other enemy fleets remains to be settled, but the Rhine shipping, probably far the largest, and today's decision is the most important to be made.
 In his decision, MT. Hines points out, that, inasmuch as France through the return of Alsace has become again a Rhine> state, the treaty requires that the division of the German Rhine flee. between France and Germany shall be made in proportion to the legitimate needs of the two countries.
 MT. Hines will definitely select the barges and tugs to be given France on February 10 next. .

LODGE SAYS WILSON
 APPOINTEES DOOMED

| Washington, January S.-(Special )-- Senator Lodge, after a long silence. to- 1 day declared it to be the policy of the republican majority to confirm none of the 17,000 nominations which President Wilson has sent to the Senate. This declaration was contained in a letter 1 addressed to another senator. It is re~ garded as definite.
 At the same time, President Wilson, in all probability, will send to the Senate the forthcoming week. nominees for di- rectors of the war finance corporation If these directors are confirmed. an eff fort will be made to secure the con- firmation of others. If they are not con firmed, the republicans will have played falsely with the farmers for whose as-
 sstance they demanded an immediate revival of the war finance corporation. The nominees pending include 1000 army officers who, having accepted the invitation permanently to remain in the
 army, have given up employment in civil
 life. Despite Lodge it is said that these
 nominees will be confirmed, save those
 whose rank is high.

 Greater Diversity

Selma, January S.-(SpeciaI)- IA 50 per cent reduction of the cotton acreage of Dallas county was indorsed by the mass meeting of farmers held at the~ court house this morning, and earnestly recom- mended as a policy for the approval of the business interests of the country that the acreage be just one-half what it was in 1920, and thaFfood crops for man and animal be grown on the lands withdrawn from cotton cultivation.
 After a general discussion of the situa- ten, the following resolutions were pre- pared and presented to the convention by committee and unanimously adopted
 We, your committee appointed by the Dallas county branch of the American cotton association, beg. leave to submit the following recommendations:
 b1rst, that we request all landlords White or black, and merchants, who op- ! crate lands under the wages or tenant system, to decrease their acreage in cot ton for the year 1921 as follows:
 All landlords employing wage hands are requested to decrease their cotton acreage 50 per cent, taking 1920 as a basis Furthermore they are to use all honor able means to see that tbeir tenants re- uuce tnelr acreage not less than S l-3 per cent
 We further request this association to go on record and urge to it's utmost api- ity that every advance merchant in Dali las county cooperate in the movement. and that they dhe merchants) demand ! that all of those that they supply for the year 1921 shall conform to this request of a reduction of a minimum of one third acreage in cotton. And furthermore, that all merchants notify that at the be- ginning Of this year all customers who do not grow food crops for the year 1921 that these merchants shall decline to make advances to such customers for another year.
 ''The committee recommends to the as- sociation that they request all business interests of the county the landlords, country merchants, city merchants and bankers to cooperate in the above recom- mendations, and to lend their earnest sup port to the movement for planting sui ticient amount of food crops for home supply and nearby markets and such other crops as may be grown as sur plus on the farm.''

Fort Payne, January S.-(SpeciaL)- Protests against the construction of several miles of concrete sidewalks, curbs and gutters and the paving of certain streets in the business section of the city, as called for in city ordi- nances adopted lastl November, will be heard before the city council at it's regular meeting on February 1, ac : cording to announcement juAt made by the city clerk.
 s It was first intended to hear the ob- Jections of the property owners af- fected on last Tuesday night at the regular meeting, but inasmuch as it was felt that the unusual business con- ditions now prevailing would tend to increase the objections it was thought best to postpone the meeting. It is the intention of the council to con struct the sidewalks and do the pay- ing at the least possible expense and at such a time as will be most conyen- lent for the property owners and it was also realized that little actual construction work could be done before the spring months arrive.
 The plans call for the pavinr of sew eral miles of sidewalks and wood block ravements the business streets in the heart of the city.
