WITH ACREAGE WILL
TEST LOCAL OIL FIELD

J. c. Yandall has received the fol
lowing letter from C. V. Coulter VIII
spent some time here investigating
the local oil field and taking leases:
My Dear Friend:
Your letter of more than a month
ago finally reached me here and
was glad to hear from you again
How are you and the family? I be-
lieve you have had a very severe win
ter out there but you must surely be
having some spring weather by now.
The oil business is very slow. No
one-at least the independent oper-
ators q suspect the Standard and it's
tributaries knew better, as they are
wholly responsible for the present
conditions) had no idea that it would
be this long before operations would
resume in full force. When I was
out there it was thought that before
the summer was over things would
open up in good shape and when it
didn't then it was thought by the
first of the year and then we gave
it to the first of April and now they
are saying the first of July. The
fact is the independent operator is
not going to put his money in to pro-
duce the oil until they at least have
some assurance that the price of oil
will be advanced or at least will not
again be cut and the prices of ma
terial and supplies come down in ac-
cordance with the price of the pro
duct.
We are still willing to come in
there and test your territory when
The conditions justify and when we
get acreage enough, properly located,
10 justify us in expanding the money
necessary to make a thorough test
and | will say %candidly, from all the
Indications and assurance we get
rom the Governmental geological
survey (and that is all the assurance
We have) of the presence of oil in
hat country, it would take at least
,hree or four wells to thoroughly test
he territory. One well if it was dry
would be a waste and if we test it
We will give it a thorough test or we
start and we will have to get
lot more acreage than we have be-
ore we can afford to start.
When things get right for us to
make a test I am willing to come out
here and take the leases on the land
O be held in escrow until the tools
moved in and on a location and
can tell the people that, but if
hey expect us or anyone who is in
God faith to do that they will have
0 stop leasing to everybody in small
!
| see from reports in the Gas
ournal that there are several test {
rells going down in different parts {
f the state and should there be one '
rilled near enoughf to you to give t
our country and kind of a test it
light change matters. | will be glad &
hear from you from time to time {
me posted as to any new
loves and I will be glad to give any c
formation I can about the business. i
Yours very truly,
G.. V. Coulter. !

The farm outlook is very hopeful
at this time, although the stress of
finance is severely felt and the prob

very serious in come localities. Re-
lief has been afforded for some thro-

other sources. The most important
matter of concern to farmers and to
stockmen seem to be longer time
loans at smaller rate of interest, and
many are much concerned over the

HOW THEY DO 1T.

DR.. Charles W. Eliot, president
emeritus of Harvard University
celebrated his 88th birthday by do
ing his regular days work. Ford,
too, rs, confessed somewhat shyly
to being a few minutes late for of
fee because his family was "cele-
brating."
Two men, long past the age when
most men are useful, continue to
live and work and make the world
better. How do they do it? A
stagnapt pool is one into which no
water flows, from which no water
runs. A fresh, clear pool is into
which water runs and from which
water constantly flows.
Edison and Ford have minds
through which thought, ideas, pic
lures, conceptions constantly flow.
To stay young. read, think, edu-
cate your brain. You will never
be an Edison or a Ford, probably,
but you will be of use, and live
long enough to make that use
count in proportion to what you
know, what you learn, to what pur-
pose you use brain.

HARVEY LOWRY AND
son ARE ARRESTED

Deputies Boyd and Wright, pro-
hibition enforcement officers from
Jackson and local officers, turned
up five "moonshine joints" on the
farm of Harvey Lowry Friday and
Mr.. Lowry and his son were ar
rested. Another man named Rain
waters was shot at several times,
but made his escape.
The Lowry farm is situated at
the head of what is known as Lit

Mason, an ideal locality for engag-
ing in this nefarious business. The
outfits, including 4 gallons of "bust-
head" and 1900 gallons of beer,
were destroyed.

are becoming more proficient in
handling this class of lawlessness.
This department, aided by Con-
gress, is making it decidedly warm

HAVE TRIED AND FAILED

Young man, there is one thing
you can not do, says an exchange.
You can not make a success in life
unless you work. Older men than
you have tried and failed.
You can not loaf around the
street corners, smoke cigarettes,
oggle the girls, tell smutty stories
and sponge someone else without
making q failure of life.
You must learn trade or get
into some honest business. Ii you
don't you will become a chronic
loafer, and there is no place in the
successful world for loafers.
The choice fruit is at the top of
the tree and you must climb if you
get it, or some smarter man will
pluck it from you.
Do somethingl No matter how
small or how long the wages, it will
be starter.
Help yourself and others will
help you. There is no royal road
to success. Work, grit, energy and
endurance are the qualities that
lead to it.

NEWS NOTES

Especial News correspondent.)

NopeCihI NEWS COrresp0ndenfs)
Washington, D. c., April g.
When scores of Republican towns
aud cities elected Democratic may
ors last November, the Administra-
tion leaders said the results were
due to local caases. It appeared
strange at the time that the vari-
Gus and varying ''local causes"
brought the same results all the
way from Providence, Rhode Is
land, to the cities of Utah, but the
Democrats, still smarting from the
drubbing of 1920, were backward
IN pointing out the significance
that seemed to lie therein. But
when various cities in Maine kick
ed out their Republican officials
about a month ago, the trend be-
gan to be of more definite charac-
ter. This week Hartford, Conn,
overturned machine that had
held the city for the Republicans
the last twenty years, while Kansas
City, Missouri, in straight party
fight, elected Democratic mayor
by 10000 majority. The Republi-
can Governor of Missouri, Hyde,
went into the fight with all the
help the State and National ma
chimes could give him, backed by
big Republican majority at the
last election, but suffered a great
reverse.
These elections are strongly re-
mindful of the sorry condition in
which the Democrats found them-
selves during Cleveland's last ad.
ministration; Harding's situation
is very similar to Cleveland's, if
not fully analogous. Tt will be re-
called that Cleveland came into
office in March, 1898, just after
prosperity had taken wing. He
got the blame. For year and
half he struggled against the inevi-
table. He had a Congress with an
unwieldy majority and dissension
in the ranks-just as Harding has
today. Cleveland had hardly got
ten his chair warm before the city
elections began to come along in
side of six months the reports had
begun to grow monotonus-just
one Republican elected after anoth-
or. At first Democratic leaders
said the results were due to "local
causes" but that was soon worn
threadbare. It made little differ
ences where the elections were
held-the results were very simi-
lar. The difficulty seemed to be-
that the people were SO dishearten-
ed by hard times (begun under
Harrison's Republican administra-
ton J that they would not support
any man of the same political faith
as the man who headed the exist
ing government. Today the Re-
publican leaders find the same diff
f1culty in getting the people to vote
the ticket of the party in control at
ashington. liz the analogy goes
as far as next Noyember-seven
months from Harding will
receive the same sort of repudia-
tion as was suffered by Cleveland,
for in the middle of the latter's
term an antagonistic House was
returned by large majority.
Some queer things occurred; Champ
Clerk was defeated by an itinerant
music teacher while Richard 2.
Bland was beaten by horse doc
tor. The biggest Democrats in

cans seen chance OF getting seat
in Congress there would have been
different tale to tell. And it be-
hooves the Democratic organiza-
tions in the various States to see to
it that only able men are nominat-
ed against the sitting Republicans,
for the signs of the times indicate
that scores of Republican seats are
to be vacated. A landslide seems
to have no respect for previous ma
jorities.
The desperate state of the Ad-
ministration is indicated by the
heartless discharge OF the 28 chiefs
of the various divisions of the Bu-
reau of Engraving and Printing,
where stamps, paper money and
Liberty bonds are engraved and
printed. 1t is the most derful
shop of it's kind in the world and
has been considered model of ef-
ficiency. Phe best opinion here
seems to be that Harding needed
jobs for his clamoroHs and hungry
followers, and by putting Republi-
cans of his own choosing into all
the head places, he could have
them remove those below them,
thus providing many hundreds of
places. Senator Harreld of Okla
homa, one of the accidents of the
last election, gave out a statement
to the effect that the Administfa-
tion found that many of the chief
Office holders reported more fire.
quently to Mr.. Tumulty, President
Wilson's secretary for eight years,
than to the present heads of the
government. IL this were true it
would be a damaging proof of the
utter weakness of the Harding con-
troll. Those who know Washing
ton and politics have observed with
approval the very proper conduct
of Mr.. Tumulty, who, like his chief,
has given every evidence of the
correct attitude in the circumstan-
ces. Mr.. Wilson's silence has al
most been equalled by that of Mr.,
Tumulty, who is quitely practicing
law. Harreld's charged is the on
ly thing that has caused the form
er Presidents secretary to break
his silence on current politics,
though it must be admitted that he
shattered it to bits at the expense
of the Oklahoma Senator, giving
the latter a dressing down that will
abide with him for sometime and
do much toward retiring him 10
that private existence for which he
seems better qualified than for the
hurly-burly of Washington life,
Some of the employees summari-
ly fired by Harding had worked
for scores of years IN the bureau,
and are now thrown out in the
most -heartless manner, with no
charges file against them. but
branded by innuendo. 1t is as bad
as the discharge of l 800 navy yard
employees on the day the Arms
Conference ended. | is still the
fixed belief of Washington that it
was done in order that the big
newspaper headlines might make
deep impression of the foreign del
egates who were about to leave the
city. These men were not even
given ten minutes notice. They
came to work with their lunch

told they were not wanted. And
