RIG ARRIVES
 FOR NEW WELL
Col. H. M. Straughan, Pioneer Oil Man, Will Sink Test We'll a Mile North of R0sstOn, Drilling. to Begin Soon.

A rotary rig, an entirely new out fit, passed through Prescott Monday over the Missouri Pacific, and was transferred at Reeder to the Valley Lumber Company railroad and trans ferred at Mt. Moriah where it was hauled by wagons to the location for Col Straughan's first test well in exact 7s of mile north of Rosston. The 112 foot derrick is already up and the machinery for drilling is be- ing installed today preparatory to spudding in, which will take place within the next week, probably Col. Straughan recently completed secur- ing enough acreage surrounding the location to justify the sinking of the test.
 The addition of Col Straughan's operations to Nevada county's al ready active field gives this county | state. Col Straughan is one of the recognized oil pioneers in this coun- try, having been responsible for the discovery of the wonderful Tampco, Mexico, oil field, also Col. Straughan was pioneer in the producing Okla homa field and he sunk the first deep oil wells in that state. His ability in locating paying wells is known all over the South wherever oil is talked He is man who has very little to say but when he does talk you can take it as being worth 100 per cent. Col. Straughan has looked over a number of counties in Arkansas since withdrawing from the firm of Straughan x Crawford some months ago, and his final decision to try his fortune in Nevada county is signif- cant.
 When the Straughan well is spudded in it will make a total of four tests in operation in Nevada county as follows: Shaw X Shaw in 36, 13, 23, Humphreys in 4, 13, 22, Bluff City in 16, 12, 20, and Straughan in 16, 13, 21. There is at present more capital represented in drilling operations in Nevada county than in any county of the state, of course with the exception of the place where Fletcher Chenault of the Gazette staff, is making his living. A derrick is up in ', 15, 21, and a well will be drilled there by R. c. Hawley & Company and a location has been made in 12, IA, 22 by Dr. J. D. Car rol and associates of Texarkana A derrick is to be erected on this site in the near future and a test we'll will be sunk as soon as preliminaries can be completed.

MONEY FOR BLEVINS ROAD
,, M. WestmOreland, President of Board of Commissioners, cets Draft for 5000 to Fur -., finer Work on Pike.

Tho construction of the Prescott plovins highway which was held up some months ago with only about five niles to be completed, will be re- ,,mod at once, according to A. M Wostmoreland, president of the board of commissioners of the improvement Hst,ict Mr. Westmoreland exhibited draft from the State Highway De- rortment of which our fellow towns man. Joe A. Bailey is chairman, the draft being for $5,000, which amount will be expended at once on this end If the highway, part of which has not hoen treated to the first coat of cayel: the first and second layer will be appled to this section of the road and the second layer will be applied until the money gives out. MT. West moreland was assured in the letter enclosing the draft that the other gOOO necessary to complete the road would be available the first part of July of this year or probably before
 The commissioners, A. M. West moreland president, Dr. A. s. Buch- anan, E. P Hale, J. D. Stephens and M L. Nelson are due much praise for their untiring efforts in behalf of the road. Numerous have been the ob- staces in their path since the inn pavement district was organized Through all the unpleasantries these men stayed by their guns 'and won out in the face of criticism from many sides and now that the road is almost completed and the critics are travelling on a real highway, the gins on their faces are broad as a lew moon Especial credit is due Mr. Westmoreland, whose time and money has been spent in his many attempts to secure the remaining ap- populations from the state, so that the road might be completed Mr. WeStmoreland made number of trips to Little Rock, only to find that some other county had beat him to it.
 The Prescott-Blevins highway is a boon to both cities and a great ad- vantage to the farmers living along the route, who are enabled in all kinds of weather to go back and forth regardless of the weather.
 If oil is found at Blevins a direct connection will be had both by rail and by pike road with the Missouri Pacific main line here and the benefits derlyed by Prescott by being con-

REDUCTION IN INSURANCE
 RATES BEING CONTESTED
Special to The News.

Little Rock, March 24-Deposisions in the case of the Aetna Insurance Company vs. Bruce T. Bullion, insur- ance commissioner, were completed today and the transcript of evidence amounting to more than 600 pages will be submitted at once to Chan cellor Martineau, who will set tac time for hearing. The case will probably be argued some time during the month of April. This is the case involving the order made by the commissioner for reduction of six and twenty-one hundredths per cent in the general insurance rates of the state. It is being contested by the insurance companies, it being con- tended that the wrong basis was em- ployed in arriving at the results. MT. Bullion says that it will be worth at least $4O0,O00 annually to the policy holders of the state, if the state should win the case.

FRUIT CRISIS
 THIS WEEK
Present Week Will Put Fruit Out of Danger, is Opinion of Bert Johnson, Manager of Big Orchard at Highland.

Bert Johnson of Highland Farm, the largest peach orchard in the world, is perhaps more interested in weather conditions this week than any one in Arkansas. MT. Johnson believes that the present week will put the fruit out of danger from a killing frost, although front on April 1st last year killed about 1000 car loads of fruit on the farm. up to the present the fruit is doing fine," said MT. Johnson, who was in the city last night, "but we are never entirely at ease until after Easter. With such unusually warm weather this week we are not expecting much of furry at Easter time"
 Mir. Johnson said he could reason ably expect 200 cars of fruit off the farm without frost interferes. Last year the production was very light. He is planning this year to ship about lUU cars Ol ElDtl III oPplC DOACo, the same as apples are shipped from California. This he believes will add to the value of the peaches. MT. Johnson is of the opinion that exist ing freight rates will cut down com petition between the sections in which peaches are grown. Georgia peaches will probably interfere with his sales because the freight rates will make it almost impossible to ship them to the middle west. On the other hand peaches from the extreme west will not interfere with his sales because of the distance The Texas crop is so light as compared with the Arkan- sas crop that it will not interfere and it is some weeks earlier The Highland farm will probably ship as many carloads of peaches as all of Texas.
 Mr. Johnson is experimenting with early cantaloupes this year and ex- poets to find ready sale at splendid prices. H eis planting about 450 acres to cantaloupes and is putting paper covers over the young plants to protect them from frost. These plants are up and growing nicely, with prospects of splendid yield early enough to procure good prices for the first.
 Aside from his agricultural pur- suits MT. Johnson is leading candi- date for the presidency of the Nash vile Chamber of Commerce, which is being organized this week. His friends are making a vigorous cam ] L Il. -..c IcrAn

SOMETHING TO
THINK ABOUT

By F. A. Walker

If the widow had decided, despite
the directions Of Elisha, that the pot
Of oil had no possibilities of solving
her financial difficulties. she would
have lost her sons to her creditors
and the whole plan of the restoration
Of herself and her family to happi-
ness and comfort would have mis-
carried.
1t Is well to know accurately just
what our resources are. We should
know just what we are capable of
accomplishing and then be sure that
the accomplishment itself is 100 per
cent Of our possibilities.
Look through your mental house
and your physical house and you
might even take hurried glance at
your moral house.
See what Is there Of which you
are not making the fullest and most
profitable use.
See, too, what is there that should
NOT be there, that is hindering in
stead of helping you. and get rid
Of It.
Maybe you have lot of oil quite
as valuable as was the Widows and
are laboring as she was under the
impression that you are without re-
sources. The old-time miracle can be
repeated in YOUR case, II you go
about 1t In the right way.

WHAT ST. PAUL REALLY SAID

the Great Apostle.

Men translated the Bible-and
twisted st. Paul's remarks about won

divulged by Miss X. Raleigh to the
British Women's Freedom league.
The apostles remarks about women,
she said, were badly twisted In trans
lation, and 1t could be proved by the
removal Of few dots and commas,
that st. Paul did not: Forbid women
to preach; command them to obey
their husbands; insist that forever and
aye, whatever the fashion Of the coun-
try. they should wear hats In church,
say that they should never wear jewell
ry and fine clothes.

3 THE GIRL ON THE JOB
: How to Succeed-How to Get
Ahead-How to Make Good
3 By JESSIE ROBERTS (:
LIBRARIANS.

THE demand for the trained H.
i brarian Is on the increase. But
many young women are leaving the
regular library to take up allied work
that pays better.
The new demand outside of the reg
ular library comes from big business
corporations who want their business
organized. Special literature Of all
sorts is part Of their daily material,
and they see the need Of a proper In
dexing for all this material, and for
making 1t available for immediate use
as the books In a library are available.
Aside from the bigger concerns are
such clients as a lawyer or doctor
with large practice. Such men will
often have whole library that Is use
less unless Properly indexed.
Many women who began as librar-
ians are now holding excellent posi-
tions, where their library training
proved the essential in their new
work.
AS the librarian can as yet look for
ward at best to hardly more than ST.
500 year, the best trained and more
ambitious women are following the
commercial path.
But librarians training is proving
to be excellent for other work. Many
girls do not stop at organizing special
libraries for their new employers.
They 90 on to become heads of depart
ments, undertake the installing Of bus
mess systems, Of filing and cata-
loguing, and even run Offices Of their

IN YOUR HOUSE.

r YOU are not careful reader of
the Bible you may have the idea
that all the miracles which 1t details
are In the New Testament. but If you
will turn to the fourth chapter Of
ii Kings you may read an enter
tanning story of one of the remarkable
things performed by Elisha In the
multiplication of the pot Of oil.
Elisha performed many miracles,
but of them all this one is perhaps
the most interesting.
A widow, one of the wives of the
sons of the prophets, tells Elisha that
her creditors have come to take her
two sons as bOndmen In settlement of
what she owes.
Elisha asks her what she has In
the house which might be available
to settle the debt. Her reply Is that
her only possession Is pot Of oil,
At his direction the woman sends
her sons to gather all the empty re-
ceptacles in the neighborhood and
when they have been brought she
Obeys the command of Elisha that
she shall pour from the pot Of oil into
the empty vessels and this she con-
tinues to do until all are filled and
then she sells enough Of the store Of
oil to pay her debts and there Is suffi-
cient left to supply her and her sons.
What have YOU in YOUR house?
The trouble with most of US Is that
we never value very highly the possi-
bilities of what we have.
The apple on the high branch al
ways looks bigger and fairer to us
than the one In our hand.
The job that the other fellow has
always seems easier and more salts
factory than our employment.
The other mans lot always seems
.pleasanter than ours and his pros
poets and chances brighter and more
attractive.
The trouble Is we do not properly
examine and truly estimate and wise
ly use what we have "in OUR house"
Success is made up entirely Of what
we nave anu HOW VIC use u.
No man was ever born who did not
have the possibility of success.
No man ever lived who did not

The man who says 81 never had a

an excuse for his failure.
Lord Bacon said. "A wise man will
make more opportunities than he
finds,' and that Is much truer than
the famous poem Senator ingalls,
wrote that pictured opportunity as
knocking only once at a mans door
or the picture which Rabelais drew
Of Opportunity as woman with q
lock of hair on her forehead but with
the back of her head completely
bald; meaning that Opportunity must
be grasped as 1t comes toward yor
for once 1t has passed there II
nothing to seize.
Every day has its opportunity.

to bother with and we wait and wait

will come along and ask us to &C
