COW EATS PEACHES; GET DRUNE
Cow Gets Drunk on Peaches at Nash
 vile Recently.

Nashville, July 1.-The pine box with coating of sheet iron for a still is destined to become thing of the past, and cows and peaches will fill a long felt void in many throat if, a report coming here tonight from Highlands is true, and there is every reason to believe it it. It seems COW
 belonging to man at Highland broke into the yard Thursday and ate two bushels of peaches. When she was milked this morning she gave three gallons of excellent "hooch," which had none of the unpleasant and dan gerous qualities of the pine box brand. Those who drank the milk" gave every evidence. of having had some- thing to tighten their burden in this dry world. The owner of the COW, it is reported, has locked her up, and is feeding her peaches as fast as she will eat them, but it is not known whether he intends starting a dairy. If MT. Volstead doesn't upset the plan by having all the cows in the country killed it may mean great discovery.

GOOD PRICE FOR COTTON9
Theory is that the Small Acreage Will
 Demand Better Prices.

Little Rock, July 19.-(SpeciaD - The theory that small cotton crop will command a good price is to be given a thorough test this year. Ma ture has come to the aid of various agencies, propogandists and swivel . chair agriculturists in their campaign for acreage reduction. Official re- ports show a reduction of more than 30 per cent in cotton acreage over last year. In 1920 there was 3,055,000 is 2,158,O00. Statisticions estimate is 2,158.000. Statisticions estimate this years yield, upon the basis of the July average, at little more than 8OO,00d bales. The reduction is the largest ever recorded in Arkansas, amounting to 917,OOO acres. The hill counties have in many instances al- most abandoned cotton for corn and other crops and there has also been a heavy reduction by the larger plan ters in the river valleys. The unus- ually heavy infestation of the boil weevil accounts to considerable de- gree for the large proportion of the reduction. The pest is unusually widespread and destructive. The worse reports are coming from the bottom lands of the Red, Ouachita, Arkansas below Little Rock, and the lower Mississippi valleys.

GINNERS ARE ORGANIZING
Cotton Ginners Wfll Better Seed Mar
 keting Plan of the State.

Little Rock, July 19.-(SpeciaD - Ginners of Arkansas are organizing an association for the sale of their cottonseed through a sales manager in Little Rock. T. o. Branch is gen. eral manager of the organization and already the large ginners have assoc iated themselves with the project. The association is patterned after the Cali fornia Fruit Exchange and the same system is used in the disposition of cotton seed. During the cotton sea- son, Mir. Branch will issue daily bulletin analysizing the cotton seed market. He will explain the different phases of the market and keep the ginners in constant touch with the best market for their product. The organization of ginners is not con- bination to force higher price from the cottonseed mills. as it works in close harmony with the crushers. MT. Branch points out that it will be much easier for the cruShefs to place an or der with him, as sales manager, for the ginners, than it will be to send buyers all over the state to seek the character of seed that is wanted and make an inspection of it. MT. Branch says that it costs the average cotton seed mill $500 per ton to buy seed from the ginners and that this price can be added to that paid the ginner by dealing through the association. MT. Branch expects to have many thousands tons of seed at his disposal this fall and to be in a position to de- liver it promptly uoon order from the cotton seed crushers.

 It is stated that the company was incorporated for $60o,00o and was indebted to certain banks in St. Louis and Texarkana, which, together with other indebtedness amounted to $625,. 900. This amount was guaranteed by the board of directors, and to save any further obligations the action of the board was taken yesterday, which re- suited in the appointing of trustee to wind up the affairs of the concern The board of directors is composed of William Temple of Texarkana, presi- dent; D. Cabe of Stamps, L. D. Gill belt, Texarkana, Henry Orton of Ash down, Duncan Brown of Philadelphia, J. D. Barlow and F. o. Colman of Hope. T. L. l..

 The company owns and operates mills in Ashdown, Philadelphia, Ida bel and Hope, and a number of cotton gins in Southwest Arkansas and Okla homa It is said the difficulty in which the company has found itself was occasioned by the slump in the cottonseed oil business. Oil was sell ing the first of last season at 21 cents a pound and now is quoted at 3-4 cents. The reorganization of the bus mess will be effected in time to han dle the business this season, it was said today.

The Commission is After
 Unpaid Road Tax

Little Rock, July 17.-A special meeting of the State Highway Con- mission will be held tomorrow to check up the delinquent automobile taxes due the state, which it is be- lieved will amount to approximately $1O,00O. The meeting was called by State Highway Commissioner Herbert F.. Wilson, following review of the &C., counts of the automobile tax due for the first three months of the year un- der the new automobile law, when 1t was discovered that sheriffs and col. lectors in more than 20 counties were delinquent to the extent of several thousand dollars. All accounts which are not settled in full when the com- mission meets will be placed in the hands of the attorney general for collection.
 The commission will allot state aid on several primary projects, and it is probable that the allotments will be concentrated on the Fort Smith to Memphis road, including the Bank. head highway and Texarkana-Mis- souri road. It is probable that state aid may be cancelled on certain pro- jects that have been dormant for sev- erai months, or which do not form part of the primary road system, in order that the aid may be applied to the trunk lines
 This will be in line with the policy oe the commission to concentrate all state aid on primary roads until the main highways across the state have been finished. R. c. Limerick, state highway engineer, who has been mak- ing a survey of the state highways during the last month, will give his report Monday.
 Judge w. A. Falconer of Fort Smith and J. S. Turner of Ozark, ths out-of-town member of the commits sion, are expected to arrive tomorrow.

MAY HAVE BIG eASSER
 NEAR MONTICELLO
Pressure Has Threatened to Blow Away Derrick and Form & Crater.
 Test To Re Made Soon.

Monticello, July 16.-An oil well in Drew county would mean a great deal to the people of Drew county, and of Arkansas. It would bring fortunes to persons whose lands now are worth little to them. except as potential watermelon patches.
 Will Drew county have an oil we'll? No one knows yet of course. Those persons who drill in a wildcat field are on the knees of the gods. They risk all on single throw of the dice. It isn't altogether gamble perhaps, for geologists have shown great faith in Drew county, and so have Jack Mobley, foe to superstition, and Dr. Samuel T. Busey whose name has gone re-echoing down the hall of fame
 We heard that Jack Mobley's we'll was about to get the best of him, and we came down to see Jack wrestle with the forces of Nature So far, the race, as usual, has been to the swift and the battle to the strong, and we doubt if MT. Mobley's we'll will ever get beyond control until he sends the bailer down and is prepared to see the gas pressure surging above the der rick. Mir. Mobley is satisfied that he will have very little bailing to do, once he is ready to bring in his well.
 The Drew County Oil and Gas Con- panys we'll is about two miles east of town. You can sit undre the shed by the boilers and see the courthouse tower. J. T. Chain, secretary of the Saline Oil and Gas Company, went out with us this morning. and later Mobley came along and dropped his diamond bit against the rock to show us his wares Nothing was more pleasurable since the day one of our comrades charged us shinny each for exhibit ing his sore toe. We saw the gas bubbles and the rainbows. and came away contented. Two or three times this big gas pressure has worried the local oil enthusiasts. It has spurted up in geysers against the derrick floor and threatened to blow away the der- rick and form a crater or so, they thought.

NEW PLAN IS ADOPTED
 FOR HIGHWAY WORK
State Will Have Five Districts, Each With Resident Engineer; Will
 Check U. s. Property.

Little Rock, July 19.-Three matters of vital importance to Arkansas road affairs were discussed at a special ex- ecutive session of the State High way Commission at the capitol yester- day.
 It was decided that five highway districts will be created, one each in the central. northeast, northwest, southwest and southeast section of state, with resident engineer in each district, to direct highway af- fairs through the departments. State Highway Engineer Limerick will be in charge of the central district, with Little Rock as his headquarters, and will direct the work of the other four engineers. No appointments to these places have been made. The district plan is in line with recommendations from the federal Bureau of Roads
 The other two subjects discussed were delinquent road tax settlements from county collectors, who had been urged to make settlements to date, and a survey of the several hundred thousand dollars worth of federal property, such as trucks tractors, cranes, motor cars, that were assigned to Arkansas for road work in the apportionment following the close of the war.
 Legal Action Possible.
 Delinquencies in the payment of the road taxes were found to exist when the new commission began an investigation of the affairs of the Highway Department several weeks ago and a call for settlement on July IS was made. About $7,O00 was out standing, some of it from as far back as 1914, and most of it was paid yes terday. Several former collectors, however, did not settle, the amounts ranging from $5 to $1O on up, and their names were given Attorney General Utley, with the request that he collect them, first using letters then legal action if necessary, to get the amount from the collectors bOndsmen. It was said that none of the sheriffs now holding office are delinquent.
 Checking Federal Property.
 The survey of federal property was asked by the Highway Commission and J. w. Shepard of the federal Bur- eau of Roads was sent here. MT. Shepard attended the meeting yester- day and will remain in Arkansas sev- eral weeks. It was found that some of the federal property has been sold illegally, although the greater part of it was apportioned to counties or leased or rented. as provided by act of Congress. The survey will occupy longer than was expected because of discrepancies between the War De- partment records and the records of the Highway Department, but it is the purpose of the commission to make a thorough check. More equip ment is available for use in Arkan- sas when that already here is ac- counted for.
