FARM BUREAU ENDORSES
 RURAL CREDITS BILL
Farm Federation Bureau IndOrses the Rural Credit Bill; The Plan
 is Greaty Favored.

Washington, May 26.-Tne executive committee of the American Farm Blu reau Federation which has been in session here for two weeks, mas in- dorsed the principles of the McFaden- Kenyon rural credits anG multiple in- surance bill for agricultural produc- tion, it was announced yesterday.
 At hearings before the federation's financc committee it was shown that the cattle insurance rates in some Sta tes were 220 per cent in excess of insurance rates paid by tho farmers in some States were 300 per cent greater than in other States, a stat ment of the federation declared.
 The McFadden-Kenyon fill pro- vides for the creation of a Federal multiple insurance charter author izing the issuance of insurance against any and every contingency prlvi- lege many foreign insurance eCm- panias enjoy. It is the purpose to in duce one of the mutual life insurance companies to accept such charter, so as to enable tbe company to write every class of insurance desired by me farmer.
 Sponsors of the bill claim that if the rural credit society and multiple insurance company had common agents, that the cost of insurance would be materially reduced to farm CTS.
 The measure has the strong indor- sement of such men as Andrew N. Soule, president of the State College of Agriculture, University of Georgie, who served on the Food Administra- ton during the war; William Frear, vice director and chemist of Pennsyl- yania State College and w. I. Mers. professor of agricultural economies and farm management of the New York State College of Agriculture at Cornell University.
 Friends of the bill contend that the average premiums on the insurance under the rlan advocated would be less than g., while many premiums would be less than $1, and if the credit society has to send ten, twen- ty or thirty miles for an insurance agent to take that application for in surance the travelling expense of the agent would exceed the net cost of the insurance iii many instances. Un- der the proposed arrangement, they claim toe applicant and insurance agent would be together at the time the cred;: vas granted, thus elimin- ating ali travelling expenses.

STATE TUBERCULOSIS ASST.
Local Woman Has Accepted Chair
 manship of Association.

In order to finance the work of the State Tuberculosis Association until the next seal sale Governor McRae has suggested to the Association that it ask every considerable community in the state to put on community health rides. The chief dependence of the Association is the Christmas seal sale, and owing to the financial condition last Christmas it was a failure. Un- der Governor McRae's plan automo- bile owners will be asked by the local cars and their time for an hour and a half three times during the summer, and all who wish to ride may have a delightful outing for twenty-five cents. Tickets will be sold in advance, and it is planned to enlist every Organiza- tion, church and Sunday school to sell and buy tickets and assist in making it community festivity so that every person without car gets to ride that day. Local committees will be urged to make arrangements with clubs and organizations to see the kiddies in home that have no car, the shut-ins and the inmates of charitable institu- tions are remembered. It is thought that business people confined in Offic- es, stores and work shops will need no urging to avail themselves of this privilege.
 June 22nd has been set apart for the first ride and Governor McRae has already spoken for first car in Little Rock. He asks that this be observed as an annual offering in the fight against tuberculosis for the three summer months until tuberculosis is no more.
 Mrs. J. B. Locke has accepted the chairmanship for Ashdowh.

OIL ACTIVITY SPREADING OVER THE STATE
One Hundred and Twenty-Five Char ters Granted Since First Oil
 Discovered in State.
(By Clio Harper)

Little Rock, May 27.-(SpeciaD - Since January 10, the day on which the first gusher was brought in at El- Dorado, opening up a new and mar yelous oil field which mas become the wonder of the age, there has been filed for record at Ell Dorado total of 125 charters of corporations of various kinds. most of which are TOT the de- vclopment of the oil industry. These corporation have total capitalization of s12,61S.OOO. The tremendous vOlu- me of business that has been com pressed into these four months is clearly shown by the fact that during the seventeen years preceding, there had been only 76 corporations of all kinds filed at Ell Dorado.
 The oil development program in Arkansas continues to enlarge and op- orators are active in Lawrence, Ne vada, Independence, Little River and other counties. At Prescott there is a great interest in tests that will de- termine the outcome of the Sutton Bluff City and Blevins wells. In 1n- dependence county there are active operations under way at the Adams we'll. The Butler well, spudded in last week. has been sunk to a little more than 200 feet. The Cave City well In the north part of the county will spud in this week. In Lawrence county preparation are under way for test to be made soon and several new inter- ests have manifested themselves In the leasing of new areas. The Big Six Drilling Company, operating near Cave City will spud in during the week: the derrick is already up. Leasing in this section continues With prospect for test on the south side of the river. This should have the affect of bringing about much greater activity in Independence county dur ing the next few months. Companies arc also being formed to sink test wells on either side of the Boone and Newton line.

Rat=HOlinq in The Hooks
 Test We'll in Bowie County

Texarkana, May 26. - Rat-holing down at depth of approximately 194O feet, the National Reserve Oil corpor- ation Mo- 1, now drilling about 4 miles northeast of Hooks, Texas, today was giving off heavy odOr of gas, and in the small hole an excellent show ing of oil was being made, according to the report of several parties who visited the we'll this morning, and also In accordance with the statements of both Messrs Scott and Robinson, who have charge of the operations.
 With but very little water showing, and that considerably above the depth , they are now working, both men feel confident that they soon are going to have something good. There is an other fine feature in connection with this well, in that just short distance above where tOday's showing was made there is shoulder of solid rock, and after mudding up the hole 2 to hold the wall, the six-inch casing will be set on this shoulder, the hole reamed to full size and then, if neces- sary, it will be drilled deeper. The drill is now about seven feetin as fine a strata of pay sand as could be asked for anywhere in the country, according to reports.
 By proceeding cautiously with the rat-holing process, which has been expensive, but which MT. Robinson feels was fully justified he is confi- dent that they have fine opportu- nifty to prove that part of the field, at least with the production they have evidently tapped. A small well will not be disappointing to these men although they hope to get big we'll.

PRESIDENT HARDING BE. GINS STUDY OF FINANCE
Summons "Best Financial Minds" to Consider Industrial Problems; Dis
 cusS Foreign Loans.

Washington, May 26.-A meeting of best financial minds has been in- augurated by President Harding and his advisers as means of considering the nations industrial outlook, with particular reference to the question of extending further loans of American capital to foreign governments.
 Some of the best known figures in American finance and industry all ready have given the president the benefit of their judgment on specific and in the near furture others are to be called to the White House to consult on ways and means to stabilize con- ditions and hasten "the return to nor malcy."
 The foundation for a series of dis cussions on these subjects was laid at White House dinner last night, the significance and detail of which became known today for the first
 
 Treasury and Secretary Hoover of the Commerce Department, the president had as his guests for the occasion J. P. Morgan, Paul Warburg and half dozen other men of great influence and power in financial circles.
 May "Divert" Loans.
 Whether to encourage further loans of private American capital to for eign governments was one of the ques- tions discussed most seriously, with most of the financiers arguing that such extensions of credit presented the most practicable means to place foreign finances on sound basis once more and thus improve the field for American exports. This question al- ready has received much attention by the cabinet. Some of the visiting bankers expressed concern over the possibility of funds raised in this country by foreign bond issues being used to buy the products. of other for eign countries. It was contended that use of American money in such man. ner would result unfavorably to do- mestic industry. especially farming.
 On the other hand, it was argued that purchase of Argentine wheat by foreign buyers with money borrowed in this country. for example, would assist that country's business, and the money eventually would find it's way back into the United States in trade between these nations.
 Administration officials, however, discounted reports that American money was to be used to any extent in foreign markets by foreign bor- rowers. Most of the funds raised here. 1t was said, would be used to retire or fund existing government indebtedness here.
 For luncheon today, Mir. Harding has as guests Charles M. Schwab, who advised particularly regarding the shipping problem. It is expected that round table discussions of the financial situation will be regular feature ee tho nesAieats program for some weeks to come.
