and it is a singular coincidence that
both the captain of the team and the
coach are natives of this town. Both
individuals gave their best towards
the success of the team this year and
Newark should be proud of Coach
William McAvoy and of Captain Jack

STEELE WELL DOWN
 I250 FEET, CASING SET
We'll Reported to Be Free From Water and Caving Formation Has
 Been Passed.

The Steele Test at Pine Prairie has reached a depth of 1250 feet and drill- ing is progressing satisfactorily The large casing has been set at 1900 feet on firm seat and the hole is now free from water and the drilling is in a formation that does not cave. For several days, or weeks, they have been having difficulty from the fact of the caving and also there being no firm formation on which to seat the casing and an impending danger of casing fastened at the top and hanging on it's own weight might pull in two. This danger is now past.
 The Grote we'll has been idle for a few days awaiting some material The hole is in good shape and good show ings are evident

NUMBER 3.
FARM BLOC IS READY
 WITH ALTERNATIVE
Still Seeks to Place Farmer Repre- sentative on Federal Reserve
 Board.

l Washington, Jan. 15.-Agreement Senate agricultural bloc on two sub- stitutes designed to remove objections by President Harding to legislation
 proposing to make compulsory his naming farmer representative on the Federal Reserve Board They are expected to be presented to the White House so that the president may indi- cate his preference, which they hope will become the accepted solution for the senators supporting the legisla- tion
 The first of the two suggestions. said to have been adopted after series of informal conferences yes terday and today beween bloc lead CTS, is that the proposed statute be changed to give membership on the phases of national industrial and commercial effort, the second would wipe out any specific designation as to the makeup of the board, which now must include two members of banking experience, and leave the representation to the authority hold ing the appointing power.
 There does not seem to be a def- nite understanding among the bloc leaders as to whether they will press their original demand that the board membership increased by one to take care of the farmer member This plan was contained in the original Kellogg bill, but the Smith amend ment altered it somewhat. and specifi- ed that a farmer should be selected to fill the first vacancy.
 Further conferences on the proposi- tions appear likely tomorrow in order to get as nearly to rock bottom basis as possible befre the Senate convenes, when the proposed legislation is sIat- ed to be taken up under the unanim- GUS consent agreement entered into before the Christmas recess. No for mal draft of either of the alternative propositions had been made. it was said tonight, but the leaders declared they have their views SO well in mind that they can put their ideas in legis- lative shape at a moments notice One senator said there would be a showdown by noon tomorrow, but he would not indicate whether thse in charge of the measure expect to dis cuss the subject with MT Harding before then.

SULLIVAN NO. , ABANDONED
1000 Ft. Drill Stem Fastened in We'll
 and DrilIerS Quit Work.

Foreman, Jan. 13.-Operations were stopped on Sullivan We'll No. ? last Friday afternoon, when it was decided by the drillers and promoters that it was impossible to extricate 1000 feet of drill stem which had become fast en in the hole It. is said that the trouble was caused by someone throwing junk in the hole, part of which was removed by the drillers.
 Neither the Sullivan Oil Syndicate or the Gilbert Drilling Co., have lost faith in the possibility of oil being found in this vicinity, but they have exhausted all means at their com mand in an effort to bring in a well and are compelled to stop operations.
 The well is down something over 2,O00 feet, and we regret very much that the promoters are forced to a bandon the proposition before a real test has been made in this vicinity
 Operations still continue at the Mil Ter we'll, but slow progress is being made by the drillers.

|ncE Mcc0RD LOSES
 IN AUTOMOBILE CASE
,nce of Claims to Pay for Car Appealed from County Court
 and DisallOwed.

An appeal from the county court
 .ovnavers with reference to the
 .once of certain warrants to the
 ,,+ of S1,O75, which amount, was
 , bv County Judge P. M. McCord
 ,avment for an automobile to be
 hr him as road commissioner and
 n.v iudge in going from place to
 'aoo supervising road work, was
 ord before Judge J. s. Steel Satur-
 afternoon and Monday morning r.aao Steel handed down his opinion
 ,ondav morning disallowing the
 ,o;ms The warrants for the pur- 'noso of the car were paid off by the e.untv treasure, and the effect of this ,oo;s;on will be to render the war sorts void. It is understood that the case will go up to the supreme court for final hearing.
 1udee Steel in his opinion said that ba did not doubt that the use of the automobile greatly facilitated the work and increased the effi|lency of the supervision, but that the law as h. understood it did not pr wide for .ho trave!ing, or any other expense of the county judge; that the law snecified the purposes for which road money may be expended, such as graders, scrapers, blows and other tools to be used in constructing and renairing roads. That an automobile could not be classed other than as means of transportation It was shown by the evidence that the car and it's oil and gas and repairs would consume more than half of the money known as the county highway fund and derived from automobile taxes. Since it had been thought necessary to buy Dodge car in 1919 and a Buick car in September. 1921, it fol- lowed that next year it might be nec- essary to buy some other kind of car.
 The facts are more or less well known over the county and has created wide Interest and discussion. This is a new thing so far as the courts are concerned, and it is understood that it will be the first case of the kind to be heard by the supreme court, should it be appealed to the higher court, and will be a precedent to guide the policies of county judges over the state.

GEO. N. JOHNSTON
 LOST SALARY CASE
Was an Appeal of County Agent Against DisallOwance of Salary
 Claims by County.

The case in which Geo. M JOhns
 ton, county agent, was appealing from the decision of County Judge P. M
 MoCord as to the disallowance of the formers salary claims, was heard be-
 fore Judge James s. Steel Monday afternoon. The decision was against Johnston, the court taking the posi- tion that Johnston had no yearly con- tract with the county court for ser vices; that according to the evidence he had only been told that he could work until summer and that the county judge alone had the power to make contracts of the kind for which the county would be responsible. The attorneys for MT. Johnston had claim ed that the contract with the govern ment under the Smith-Lever act, which MT. Johnston held, was for a years work, and that it was in effect on the approval of the county court, that to approve any work at all under the contract would mean an approval or the whole years work. The court did not think that this would bind the county unless it had entered into a contract with the agent, which he held it had not done. MT. Johntson seems to have been working under an agree ment and had no contract to show other than the one made with the Ex- tension Department. The county

PLAN NEW PHONE SYSTEM
Arkansas County Farmers Discuss
 Question at. Mass Meeting.

Stuttgart, Jan. 15.-The need of a rural telephone system ill the north- ern district of Arkansas county was discussed yesterday at mass meet ing of farmers called to consider a proposal for the construction of a new rural system by the Rice Belt Telephone Company.
 The Rice Belt Telephone Company which serves the city of Stuttgart, once operated an extensive one-wire rural system in this section, but the construction of electric transmission lines all over the prairie made the use of grounded telephones no longer possible except in areas remote from the power lines
 Before the Arkansas Corporation Commission went out of existence the Rice Belt Telephone Company secur- ed an increase in it's rates in this city. The City Council has given the tele- phone company the choice of either a reduction in rates in this city or the construction of a metallic circuit ru- ral system that would give Stuttgart connection with it's natural trading territory
 The telephone company agreed to the construction of the system if sui ficient rural subscribers could be se- cured to justify the outlay.
