Want New County In New Oil
District.

Because of the oil prospects
in Southern Bates and Northern
Vernon County there is a move
ment to form a new county
from the surrounding territory
and make Rich Hill the county
seat.
The area of the new county
would be over 450 square miles
more than required by the con-
stitution. AS Bates and Vernon
each contain 900 square miles of
territory the new county would
leave each county with 700
square miles. The population
of the proposed new county
would be nearly 2O,OOO.-Mis-

The COst Of a Boy.

A man in Chicago announces
that it costs $500 to raise a
boy to the age of twelve years.
How he arrives at his figures
we are not told, but the average
father is not likely to protest
that this estimate is too low.
Using the figures, a class of
ten boys in Sunday school rep
.resents an investment of $685.
600.
A scout troop of thirty stands
for an outlay of $165,O0O.
A school room of boys repre-
sents an investment of close to
quarter of million.
Are the community and the
church reaping to the best Of
their ability on the investment
in boyhood? The church utili.
zes that investment one or two
hours per week. The scout
troop works it a trifle more thar
this; the school considerably
more and yet not to the per
fection of 100 per cent.
And what of the boy on the
street, the boy at work wher
he ought to be in school or the
urchin full of craftiness anC
guile?
Every boy represents an in
vestment by society. When ou-
criminal records reveal the higl

ROBBED THE PETEFIsH HOME
And B. s. Is Demanding Heaviest Pen-
 aIties for Culprit-Suspect Caught.

Heaviest penalties justice can pro- vide will be sought for the bold and audacious thief that entered the home of B. s. Petefsh at Acorn a week ago and made way with wearing apparel belonging to the distinguished presi- dent of the Polk County Possum Club. President Petefish was in Mena at the time of the robbery, and upon his re- turn home found that a SPA grip, some sport shirts, pair of Sunday shoes, some real gold cuff buttons and pos sibly other articles of personal adorn- ment were missing. President Pete fish says the more he looked around the more he missed and he has been looking around for the past week. Luckily the thief did not secure the silk topper nor the regalia of the president of the Possum Club. Should he have dared touch these it is likely the death penalty would have been demanded. As it is the culprit will be accused of only burglary, entering, trespass, night riding and grand lar ceny.
 Sheriff J. A. Thornton received word Saturday that Harmon Cooper, sus- pected of having robbed the Petefish home, had been arrested at Poteau and would'be held to await action by the Polk county authorities.

throw it back in the position of ridi- cuic it once held.
 No doubt much harm has been done Arkansas by this publicity. It may take months and years to overcome it entirely, but, keeping in mind the selfish interest that may be behind a lot of it, the one and only safe and sane course for us to pursue is to get at it and clear up the rotten spots, punish the guilty, and then keep our promises clean from all things that are otherwise than honorable and up- right, and based on business prinr ciples and fairness to all.
 Polk county has had hard time q most expensive and trying exper- ience-in getting her first good road under construction. It has contended with ignorance, with selfishness, with political ambitions and demagogy, and these have cost and lost large sums to the taxpayers. And then, later there have been developed beliefs that errors have been made, and even suspicious of worse, but those who sincerely and deeply wish for Polk county's best welfare are doing their utmost to safeguard the expenditures on the big highway, and to obtain from state and nation all possible aid to the project. This has been made comparatively easy because the Polk county road has been recognized by the federal authorities to be link in road that is not only important to Arkansas, but to the nation, and, in addition, the National Forest forces will expend many thousands in con- meeting us up with other roads and outlets. And all these things will be an influence for the growth and bet torment of our country and our state,

SUSPECTED THIEF WAS FLEET. Harmon Cooper Escaped From Poteau
 Oficers-Eligible to Possum Club.

Harmon Cooper, young man ar rested at Poteau on a charge of hav- ing entered the home of B. s. Pete fish, president of the Polk county Pos sum Club, must have had a pair of rabbit feet, judging from the way he ran away and left the Oklahoma off, ficers Sunday Cooper is considered a bold bad guy, and when Poteau of ficers relaxed their vigilance for a moment their prisoner did fade away and then outran the entire posse. Cooper travelled so fast he will be forever ineligible for member ship in the Possom Club. The story of his escape came to Mena via Deputy Sheriff D. A. Hazel, who went to Po- teau Saturday afternoon to bring Cooper back to Polk county and stand trial for his crimes at the Petefish home. Having no requisition papers, Officer Hazel was not permitted to take charge of the prisoner until after the Poteau officials had escorted him across the state line. The escape took place at the Poteau depot, while the Mena officer was purchasing tickets for the party, the LeFlore county of cers being in charge of Cooper.
