FIELD DEVELOPING FAST
Ohio Company Locates Seven Wells.
 to Be SpEdded in at Once.

Shreveport, La., April 30.-In the week since it acquired 17,00O acres of the Southerman-Layne- leases, less an interest reserved by the ven- dors, the Ohio Oil Company has made seven locations in the Haynesville dis trict of Claiborne parish awarded con- tracts and derricks are being built on some of them for immediate develop ment
 The company has also bought a site and is erecting building to house it's Haynesville offices. The location is few feet north of the Dunn hotel Purchase of 1855 acres in fee for a tank farm was also announced. The location is on the L. and N. w. right of way, mile or two north of Haynes vile depot.
 Five of the new wells, Anna Taylor Nos. to 5 inclusive, are near the dis covery well, in section 11-23-S. One is on the Silas Taylor lease, in the southeast section 11-23-S, and the seventh is on the H. P. Kemp lease, in the northeast section 15-23-S.
 Louisiana operations of the company will be directed by J. K. Kern, Who was in charge of it's operations in Illi- nois, and A. $. Warren, who was in nb of k [1rtI1Olyy antiuitioC Tp nection with the purchase of a site for the tank farm, arrangements have been made for immediate delivery of tankage sufficient to take care Of production for the immediate future, and additional storage will be built as development of the properties pro- gress.
 The extent of these initial activities indicates the scope of development of the Haynesville districts, which will follow the sale of the Smftherman ct al. properties, since the Gilliland Oil Company plans exploration on scale similar to the Ohio Oil Company's program, and the Standard Oil Com pany, Gulf Refining Company and oth- CT big operators are also owners of large acreage. The Ohio Oil Com pany is said to own more wells than any other company in the industry, having approximately 4,000 in Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Texas and other producing districts, though that num- Der has been reduced by exhaustion.

QUEEN MONSTER OF CRUELTY
Fredegonde, Wife of French King woman of Amazing Beauty and
 Seemingly Without Heart.

One of the most bloodthirsty queens the world has known, but about whom little has been related in ordinary histories, was Fredegonde, woman of amazing beauty and utterly heart less, who ruled France with her hus- band Chilperic from 568 to 597. She came from an obscure Picardy family, and secured the notice of the king by taking service as a common servant at the court. Her beauty was so great she won his heart, and he sent his queen to prison for life, and raised Fredegonde to high rank. He married Spanish princess, and Fredegonde caused her to be strangled in her bed. The brother-in-law of the princess et- tempted revenge, was stabbed by Fredegonde's hirelings, and then she brought about the assassination of the kings three sons by his former wife.
 Ten young people in all died of her command or at her own hand, and she was not above an attempt to murder her own child, Regunthe, beautiful maiden of whom Fredegonde became Jealous. She took the girl to her treasure chest and told her to play with the jewels. AS the child stopped over the chest the queen slammed down the great lid and only aid from chance passers saved the life of the child.

Pilgrims Brought Many.

The Pilgrims in America were more inclined to look after gunpOwder than books, but several hundred vol umes were brought over on the May flower, including 400 books owned by William Brewster, the leader Sixty four of them were in Latin, and number of others in Greek and He- brew, while still others were devoted strictly to systematic theology vol umes of controversies with the Roman church, volumes on toleration, polemi- cal works, and discussions on the Ref ormation. Every family had a Bible, of course, and everyone read it. They started at t!1.1 first chapter and read the book from cover to cover.
 Of 37 Pilgrims the inventory of whose estates is given in T. G. Wright's Literary Culture in Early New England" not one had less than fl worth of books, and II had f5 or more, though only four of these es- tates totaled more than f200.

SURE GUILTY OF S0METHING'
Fact That 1t Didn't Happen to Be Larceny Didn't Make Much Dif-
 ference to Hank

There is an old New England squire whose knowledge of the statute law is limited, but who has decided views as to common justice. Not long ago certain Hank Miller was brought be- fore him. charged with larceny It ap- peared from the evidence that Hank had rented horse from farmer to do some hauling and that, during the period the a1imal had remained in his possession, he had fed it frxm the own- CTS stock of grain, although the agree ment was that Hank himself should supply the feed. He was charged by the farmer, therefore, with the theft of two bushels of oats and corn.
 "The statutes made and provided" the old squire announced ponderously, "say that theft is to convert to your own use the property of another. The horse is the servant of the owner, not of Hank, and Hank converted them oats to the horses use, not hiS-sO acquit Hank of stealth them Oats-he ain't guilty of larceny"
 Hank rose, thanked the squire and was about to leave the room, when the old man called him back
 "As l said, Hank" he remarked, with gleam of humor in his eye, you ain't guilty of larceny, but you shore air guilty of something, and I'm goin' to send you to jail for a month for it."

NITRATE OF SODA ON
 SWEET POTATO SLIPS
This Treatment of Slips to Be Trans planted, Advised by
 MT. RaSt.
By LOy E. Rast.

(Agronomist of the Southern Soil Im-
 provement Committee.
 Hundreds of bushels of sweet pota- toes have been bedded in Arkansas to grow slips" or plants of transplant ing to produce early potatoes. Many of these potato beds are at present filled with small yellow plants that are somewhat stunted from the ex- posture to recent cold weather. This condition can be easily overcome by sprinkling the plants with a solution of nitrate of soda. The material may be obtained from any fertilizer dealer. In fact, many farmers keep supply for use on their gardens. It Is a sim pie matter to dissolve one pound of nitrate of soda with five gallons of water and sprinkle the beds with the solution. The plants are then watered in the usual way. This subsequent the base of the plants, where it stimu- lates root development, is immediately available to the young plants as food and causes a luxuriant growth of stems and leaves.
 This system of plant stimulation is resorted to by many of the commer- cial growers of sweet po,a,o plants. One of the largest producers of these plants for sale in the South states that he uses this solution of nitrate of soda after each drawing of slips. As result he gets plants earlier than other growers and careful tests re- vealed the fact that the beds thus treated produced 1,5O0 more plants per bushel of potatoes bedded than where no treatment was received. The increase is no doubt due to the fact that young plants use the readily available commercial plant food for their growth and development and this leaves the reserve food materials in the old potato to be used in forcing additional sprouts which rapidly grow into plants of sufficient size to draw for transplanting.

State Highway Department Has Nt
 Use for Gifts of Army.

Little Rock, May 2.-(Specia) Ar kansas cannot use bicycles in the COZ struction of highways.
 This is the message which Commits sioner Wilson sent the War Depart mcnt the other day in response to a message announcing that there are 10000 war bicycles that are to De al- lotted to the various highway depart ments of the country.

 The war equipment division of the Arkansas State Highway Department is now open again and county judges and road commissioners, who wish to secure equipment are invited to cor respond with the state commissioners. A large number of trucks, tractors, automobiles, shovels, graders and oth- CT machinery is being received and much more is expected.

DEALERS. WORRIED BY COAL HOLDUP;
 FEAR NEW CRISIS

During the last four days. not one ton of coal has been received by Bridgeport dealers TheS suspension of local deliveries cannot be ac- counted for. and dealers are fearful of a serious situation in the event that regular consign1nents fail to ar rive. Advices from New Jersey report thousands of tons lying on the Jersey waterfront and plenty of watercraf1 available for transportation.
 In places of the average of 15 ves- sels a week arriving in the Bridge port harbor with approximate carSoes aggregating 10000 tons less than five barges with cargoeS averaging 5000 tons have arrived here in the last week.
 Previous to the recent shutdown on dealers deliveries an increase in the amount received here was reported Dealers had been securing subStan- tial orders. Fortunately they are fairly we'll supplied at present and in a position to meet an emergency or short duration.

 MAIN ISSUE

Denials were made today of pub lished reports intimating the inSutu- ton of one-man trolley service be- tween Bridgeport and Norwalk on a twenty minute schedule. Promises of suspension of present service for the new schedule was alleged intimated by officials of the Connecticut com pany at the special town meeting in Westport Monday night Statement proposed action for a twenty-minute schedule as untrue, and emphatically stated that such action would be un- practical and entirely out of the ques- tion- Manager J. B. Potter, of the Bridgeport Division, guaranteed to the meeting improved service for Westport on the provision that ordi- nances- governing the regulation of jitney traffic be passed
 The desirabihty of jitneys or troll leys is the momentous question of the day in Westport. Announcement of the proposed plans of Manager Pot ter to consolidate the Norwalk and Westport divisions and the closure of the Westport carbarns ignited the flame of sentiment that registered a stiff protest at the recent town meet ing.
 Citizens of the town went on record as favoring the continuance of a sep arate car and equipment in WestporI and succeeded in securing a compro- mse with Manager Potter to tenn porarly suspend action Requests for better and quicker trolley service 10: Westport were countered by the trcl- ley officials with requests for 5itney regulations in the town by the adop-

With form bent, his sight failed to such an extent that he could not see the examining lawyers or Referee Roraiback, who were but a few feet away, but with a mind that is still keen, James took the stand to pre- sent his case in the Superior Court today.
 He declared that he was married in Newtown, Sept. 12, 1907. This first wife having died after 47 years. tober, 1912, when they separated:
 James. insisted that there was no reason for the breaking up of the home and that he had treated his wife with respect and in comfort.
 The cross-exa imitation was intend ed to show that differences over the plaintiffs drink habits might have been the cause of domestic difficult ties. The defendants attorney ask ed the old saldier if it had been his habit to drink.

classes decided to give a benefit dance to raise money to purchase a machine The proceeds from the first dance were about $50. This was not enough cash so a. second dance was held Then the necessary amount was obtained.
 When the pupils returned after the year-end vacation, they found await mig them a brand new Victrola and 20 popular dance records, 10 stand ard marches, 10 old favorites and 10 operatic selections.
 Now when the typewriting classes meet, the teacher, without hesitancy, will put dance or march records on the machine. Already Miss Agnes Collins and Miss Mary Freethy, sen. for typewriting instructors, state that improvement in speed has been made When the music starts to play the body even to the finger tips tries to keep in time and rhythm.

The cause of the fire, which is be- lieved to have started in the Knowles building, seven story brick struc- ture is unknown.
 From the Knowles building, which was burned to shell with a loss of $1,0O0,00O the flames 1eaped across Main street to another building of all most equal size from there swirled in terrifying fashion from one building to another nearby.
 Twenty-one alarms were turned in. Fire fighters from Boston. Fitchburg and other nearby cities responded.
 From a tenement house the flames spread to the lumber yards in Me- chanic~street, in the lodging house district.
