BREAK HALTS OIL
 OUTFIT AT HEBER

The inevitable and unexpected usu- aaly happens and it is no exception at the Magness oil well. The drill bar, that long beam that weighs about 1000 pounds, broke again Monday for the third time, and of course the whole machine has to shut down, for that is the business end of the whole affair When oil is found it will come
 in right at the lower end of the drill bar This may be common phyloso- phy, but it is also an undisputed fact
 The drillers were in town Tuesday and said they had shut down to let her cool off little, but upon further questioning, we learned the real trouble. They said also that they are still in the hard rock, in which the drill has been hammering away since the Fourth of July and has pene- trated it to a depth of II feet. The we'll is now about 110 deep, but as soon as that adamant is through, We may expect the thing to go down at a much liveler gait, for the earth in that part, known as Cleburne coun- ty, is not all made of the kind they are now drilling in. The broken part was taken to Little Rock Monday and will no doubt be back by Sunday or Springs Jacksonian- Headlipht

ATTEMPT TO REVIVE
 CITY OF PETROGRAD

Reval, Esthonia, June 2S. (By Mail) The Russian soviet council of labor and defense has taken urgent steps to revive Petrograd, which even the Bol shevik themselves have recently term ed a dying city, Thousands Of workmenf confronted by starvation, and realization that Moscow was fav- ored over Petrograd in the matter of food distribution, have recently left the city, with the result that scar !cely enough men was left to operate what few factories could be provided with fuel.
 At a session of the all-russian cen- tral executive committee held in Mos cow few days ago it was decided to give Petrograd preferential privileges in regard to fuel and transport, to place Petrograd in the same situation as Moscow with reference to food supplies should be drawn solely for the use of Petrograd and to enjoin all of Russia to come to the aid of Petro- grad in the matter of food and fuel supply. A special commission, headed by Premier Lenine and including Zinovieff, Governor of Petrograd, was named to carry out the work.
 It was declared that only one-sixth of the pre-war number of industrial enterprises were in operation in Petro- grad. The population is said to num- Der less than 100000, a little more than a third of the pre-war figures. The committee also decided to include Petrograd to greater extent than had been contemplated, in the general identification scheme.
