HOOVER MEETS
WTHC0AL OPERATORS
Attempt Made to Prevent
Profteering Presages A
Bitter Fight.
INTERNATIONAL NEWS sERvlcEI

tAtA w NLN9
WASHINGTON. May 81. - In the
face of diminishing coaI reserve
stocks and the steadily approaching
mace of a serious shortage be-
fore many weeks. Secretary of Com
merce Herbert Hoover met here to-
day with several hundred producing
bituminous operators TO attempt fix
ing a uniform price for coal at the
mines to prevent goIging and prof
iteering.
There were indications of a fight
almost from the start of the meet
ing. Representatives of retail coal
dealers declared the operators had
gotten together before the meeting
and reached an agreement to hold
out for $500 a ton as a minimum.
This is too high" said L. w. Fer
guson. of Chicago. representing the
retailers. AT least half a million
tons of high grade coal has been
contracted for delivery before
March, 1923, at around S1.75 a ton,
and we will interpose most serious
objections to any movement tending
TO ~abrogate these contracts"
The retailers, Ferguson. feel that
the public is expecting lower coal
jrices instead of higher. following
the reduction of freight rates order
ed by the Interstate commerce com-
mission last week.
No effort win be made at today's
meeting. it was said. to "end the
strike" SO long as there is no ac-
tual shortage and suffering from
lack of coal the administration does
not consider that it should step in
with a demand that operators and
striking miners get together.
Both union and noE-union blum
inous operators were included in the
meeting today. although the non
union operators are mostly oncern-
ed because Of their continued oper-
alton.

MOSCOW. May Silvia London,
May 2s.-Laws guaranteeing pri-

posed at the concluding session Of
the aIl-Russian executive committee

The refusal Of the Russian dele
gates to abandon the principle OF
naturalization and establish private
property rights was the chief STUN
bling block in the way of an agree

sistent that Russia must trestore
private property Before those pow
ers would consent to negotiations
for the reconstruction of Russia.
1T IS imperative to introduce into
the popular mind the elements OF
legality declared Chairman Ka-

ElDorado, Nov.

 The well is located on the Mcdonald lease, in section 1-1S-16, and was brought in at 2 o'clock this morning. It was closed in shortly after the test que to the enormous pressure. The connections and fittings of the well began to break, and soon the well went wild. A burning log floating down tho creek ignited the crude between the creek and the well as workmen were moving materials to cap the wild SuSher. An attempt was made to build dyke to keep the fire from spreading to the well, but a change of wind whipped the flames into tho oil ana gas coming from the hole. and in a second the derrick, rig and all were Tn flames. The workmen were forced to flee for their lives.
 flalhes tonight were shooting 400 | rect into the air as if from tho ,,,o,4 or great blow torch as the oil comes from the casing. It is probable that battery Of steam boilers will be used m an attempt to stop the fire.

The Republicans held the Senate, but by a reduction of a half dozen votes.
 Republican casualties which broke with the first returns yesterday, de- feating Governor Miller and Senator Calder of New York, continued with somewhat lessened force today as re- turns dribbled in.

20 THE ROAD OVERSEERS OF LITTLE RIVER COUNTY:

I have been informed thas some of the Road Districts are already in debt to the extent that it will take all the road tax to be collected for several years to pay off outstanding indebted ness, and regardless of that fact the overseers are continuing to work and draw warrants with the expectation of being paid out of road funds to be collected in the future. Now, I have the next two years, at least, and l thought perhaps I too, might appoint some road overseers for the purpose of at least trying to keep the roads in a passible condition. But if you run your districts so deeply in debt that there will be no funds available with which to repair or maintain the roads, what will my overseers be able to do, without funds to pay them for their work? Also what condition will the roads be in without some rt. pairs for the next 3 or 4 years?
 The County Judge may have the right under the law to issue County and Road warrants indiscriminately, but it is unfair to his successor and the people to abuse that power. He may have the right under the law to bankrupt the county to prevent his successor succeeding, but it is cer- tain to rebound to his own undoing, and there is danger of one falling a helpless victim in his own snare.
 Therefore, it shall be my aim to try to cut down expenses and economize as much as the needs of the county will admit of and after having done everything in my power to put the county on safe and sane footing, and in the front ranks as an agricultural county, so the farmers and the farm boys and girls, and every other busi- ness depending upon them may suc- ceed, then it will be the greatest pleasure of my life to turn the af- fairs of the county over to my suc- cessor and put my shoulder to the wheel and assist him to improve on what l have done, and make better judge than I will have made Are you as road overseers willing to treat your successors likewise? If so, then after you have spent all the money in the Treasure to the credit9 of your irrespective Districts, quit and give them chance, otherwise you will have to hold your warrants for a long time
 Yours very truly.

None of the old formality was omitted
 But the International News Service correspondent tells us that in the background there hung a cloud of hat red, jealousy, vengefulness. and if seems to Us that this statement is all that is needed to make the picture complete.

Buttercup Seeds as Food.

The seeds of the buttercup are so small that we would scarcely think of them as a source of food for human beings; yet it is said that the Indians formerly gathered them for that pur- pose.
 At first thought, collecting them in sufficient quantity would seem like an almost endless task. But after one has seen them growing as thickly as grain the situation takes on a new light.

You may expect strong efforts to cause the next legislature to pass leg islation to further centralize the school and road funds of the state in Little Rock, to create a poole from which the funds may be distributed according to the judgment or whims of a few state officers. It's in the cards, and it's thing to be fought to a finish. Powerful influences will be brought to bear to bring these things about. The man who has a seat in the next general assembly will bear upon his shoulders heavy re- sponsibility.

TO DARKEN HAIR
 APPLY SAGE TEA
Look Young! Bring Back It's Natural Color, Gloss and
 Attractiveness

Common garden sage brewed into a heavy tea with sulphur added, will turn gray, streaked and faded hair beauti- fully dark and luxuriant Just a few applications will prove revelation if your hair is fading, streaked or gray. Mixing the Sage Tea and Sulphur rec ipe at home, though, IS troublesome: An easier way is to get bottle of Wyeths Sage and Sulphur Compound at any drug store all ready for use. This is the old-time recipe improved by the addition of other ingredients.
 While wispy, gray, faded hail. is not sinful, we all desire to retain our youthful appearance and attractiveness. By darkening your hair with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound, no one can tell, because it does it so naturally, so evenly. You just dampen sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time; by morning all gray hairs have disappeared, and, after an- other application or two, your hair be. comes beautifully dark, glossy, soft and luxuriant.

1t was a peculiar situation, that senatorial race in Texas. Mayfeld was nominated in te primary for Unit ed States senator. For some reason or other his name was kept off the ticket by court injunction and an in dependent entered the race with re- publican and anti-kukluck leanina. Neither name was on the ticket, out Mayfield, said to be a ku kluck selec- tion, was elected by three to one, which proves several things. One is that the majority of Texas wanted Mayfield. Another is that under such the political map.
