 3 MILES EAST OF TOWN
Roberts Oil Corporation Made Con. tract Tuesday-Have Ordered
 Derrick Timbers.

B. c. Henry as trustee for the land owners closed contract Tuesday morning with the Roberts Oil Corpor- ation of Hot Springs for the drilling of test well in the Peytonyille com munity, about three miles east of Ashdown. The contracting company immediately let contract for the der rick timbers to J. E. Bowles of this timbers ready for delivery some time next week. While the exact location of the we'll has not been announced the contract for the timbers specifies that the distance will not be over three miles from Ashdown. The clti- zens of this community with E. c. Henry, w. I. Joyner and others have been busy for several days blocking acreage. There are three thousand acres in all, fifteen hundred in a block and fifteen hundred on the outside. According to the contract the derrick will be erected. in 30 days and the we'll spudded in within 90 days. With good luck the company really expects to have the derrick up in 15 days and the machinery on the ground as soon as the derrick is ready. In short, they are ready to get busy and rearing to go.
 The contract calls for production or 25OO feet The leases will be held in escrow by R. M. Bone. When the sur face casing is set, the we'll spudded in and actual drilling begun the first 1000 acres of leases will be turned over
 When the first thousand feet has been drilled the second 1000 acres will be turned over, unless oil be found in paying quantities at lesser depth, in which case all the acreage will be turned over.
 When the we'll has been drilled to depth of 25OO feet unless oil or gas in paying quantities are found at les ser depth the remaining acreage will be delivered. The operations shall be continuous and dilligent according to the contract.
 Fine Showing at Hooks.
 Mrs. P. G. Traylor visited the test we'll two and three-quarter miles northeast of Hooks last week and gives a good report of the well being drilled there by the Scott Company. The well is known as the Hooks Mo- l. She brought back with her bottle of oil from the well. They were down l4OO feet and had been testing for the last 100 feet in the Anona chalk and sand. They have had good showing of oil since leaving 200 feet of shale, shell and fossils at the 1900 foot level, and the remarkable thing is that the show has been continuous, and experts say that it comes from lower level. They will go three or four thousand feet if necessary This we'll is over in Bowie county, just across Red River, near the Little River county line, and will be watched here with interest.

WILTON SCHOOL CLOSES
 SUCCESSFUL TERM
Prof. L. E. Quinn, We'll Known School Man, Delivers Commencement
 Address Friday Evening.

Wilton, April 23.-(SpeciaD D-Supt. L. B. Quinn, of Sevier county, delivered the annual address to the graduating class of the Wilton High School last night. The largest audience ever gathered in Wilton, heard him make a most impressive talk upon education. At no time did MT. Quinn let the au- dience become disinterested, but held each one even to the little fellows, un- der perfect control through his en- tire lecture.
 There were seven in the class, one boy, six girls. This is the largest class ever graduated from the lical high school. Susie McCray received the class honors, graduating at the head of her class with term average of 97 1-2 per cent.
 The class roll follows: Susie Me- Cray, Mae Johnston, Estes Johnston, Myrtle Mccall, Ada Hedgecock, Ada Dismuke, Louise Can't.
 Other PrOgramS.
 Friday, April 22, was day some were glad to see, while others did not well come it's coming. Now, that school is out, what will we do? When we think of this question it makes us wish school would soon start again.
 On Tuesday night, Mrs. Moseleys room rendered the program. They gave play, "The Podunk Limited v which caused much fun. It was a tip ical scene in passenger train. Each character played his part well, but Sam Thomas Barkman, the old man travelling with his wife and two child ren, was easily the star actor.
 On Tuesday night, the little folks under Mrs. Henegan, entertained. Their program was fine and Mrs. Hen- egan deserves much credit for the manner in which she manages the lit tie fellows, and the excellent program that was rendered.
 Last night was the graduating ex- ercises, with MT. l.. E. Quenn deliv- ering the annual address. The stage was beautifully decorated and each graduate received many beautiful Do quets.
 It seems to be an assured fact that we will have another teacher in the High School next year, placing our school in a position to be accredited with the University of Arkansas, and enabling us to receIve aid from the state. We will then have three year high school course. The credit for this work goes to the present faculty. and especially to MT. Freemen. MT. Freeman has been untiring in his efforts to get this school accredited, and although receiving very little en- couragement at first did not slacken his efforts, and knowing that Wilton could have a good high school, would not take the word mo" for an answer.
 Our honor roll for April contained 3S names, the highest for any one month. There were practically no cases of tardiness and with a percent attendance of 97, we feel proud of oul record.

LOCAL FARM WOMAN
 GETS RESULTS WITH
 CHICKENS AND EGGS
Local farm woman gets results with c Mrs. A. L. Fomby Not Strong on Fancy Breeds Nor Modern Appliances,
 But Has The Chickens.

Hearing that Mrs. A. L. Fomby, who lives east of Ashdown near the Fomby School, on the new gravel road, had something like TOO young chickens, and the News man never having seen that many young chickens at one time, decided to pay her visit. A. E. Wat CTS of the Arkansas State Bank did not have to be persuaded to go along. On arriving at the Fomby farm we soon learned that Mrs. Fomby's suc- cess with chickens had not been mis- represented in any particular. There were chickens everywhere, in the yards. the orchards, the fields and the pastures as well in the chicken yard. They were not close enough together to be counted or seen at one time, and we doubt if Mrs. Fomby finds time to check them all up and see if they are all there at feeding time, but she has pretty good idea of how many each hen has an can very quickly tell if anything has happened to the flOcks. She said that there were some where from $50 to TOO young chickens. She didn't know accurately how many hens she had, but thought there were about two hundred.
 Don't Care for FriIls.
 We had a general idea having read over the poultry journals some and heard the experts talk, that Mrs. Fomby must certainly use flock of incubators and have a whole covey of breeders to get such an enormous hatch. We asked her about the incu- bator proposition. Law, no, would not have one of those things on my place. A man offered me a $25 in- cubator for s10, and I told him I wouldn't give him five. I like the old way best" And it's a fact, she seems to be getting results that would tickle your high brow chicken grower green. You know chicken fanciers always have some breed that they think is btst anu AeIuSe IO CCISlueT OI0eTS. IL is an open question with us, and we listen to the brown leghorn and the buf orphington and all the other fans with an open mind. We are open to conviction on the chicken question aad play no favorites. We very guard edly asked Mrs. Fomby as to her pre- ference among the breeds. She said some of the leghorn breeds were good avers. but poor setters and she didn't care for any thoroughbred strain. but mixed them all up pro- If she had any particular breed she would promptly mix them up or sell them. In that way she got a hardy breed of chickens that ans wered her purpose. She has not had any trouble this spring with getting her eggs matched off or in bringing the little ones through.

Soviet Silent on Arms Farley
The Soviet leaders apparently pre-
fer to remain silent about the Wash
ington conference and Pacific prob
lens generally. One judges that this
attitude is in part dictated by Russias
omission from the arms conference,
for there is no question that the Soviet
government is kecner for American rec
ognition than for any other. Nor is
there much heard now concerning the
proposed Pacific conference which it
was announced some months ago Rus
sia would summon. Russian internal
troubles may account in part for this,
but it is not improbable that the
Moscow authorities prefer, to wait in
the shadows until they see what is
likely to emerge at Washington.

"The Reichstag must take a position
in the face of the terrible, perhaps in
surm ountable blow, which strikes our
nation through the Supreme Councils
decision on Upper Silesia."
Chancellor Wirth said:
"The most urgent, but withal the
most painful, task of the government

OBJECTED TO WOMAN's SKIRT
Peculiar Reason Advanced by chiRa-
man for Refusing to Consider
Matrimonial Alliance.

In spite Of the success with which
the campaign against the binding OF
women's feet has been waged in China,
there are still parts where men will
not marry girls who have natural feet.
Missionaries try, so far as possible.
to arrange marriages between Chris
tian girls and Christian men. One OF
our Christian girls. writes CORE
spondent, was getting quite an old
maid. having reached the age OF twen-
weight. Several heather had asked
her, but she refused them all. One of
our preachers approached a country
tenant farmer and tried to persuade
him to ask the twenty eight-year-oid
lady. We all thought 1t would come
off. The man was about the same age
as the lady in question, and had not
yet succeeded in getting engaged. But,
to our surprise, he would have nothing
to do with the plan. and gave as his
reason: "Who would marry a girl with
a skirt like that?" The girl had her
skirt embroidered in a different way
to the girls and the women in the VIII
lage where the particular swain lived,
and he felt that he dared not make
such an innovation on the fashion OF
his own village. A beautiful pair OF
brown eyes, long, fine, black hair. and
good Christian character counted as
nothing against strange style of skirt
embroidery.
