ON THE ROAD TO ROMANY

You have heard the far lands call
ing
You are welded to the trail,
There's brine in your blood
When the tides are aflood-
And the trade winds are wooing
the sail.
A star burns low in the westing,
1t beckons you out of the night
To the dream far away,
Where the typhoons at play
Kiss the believing seas so white.
But under the arms of the sheltering
oak
The rustic cottage stands
And someone there sighs
When the dim daylight dies,
For the touch of the gypsy hands.

but Mr.. Kimsey, an oil expert, is
directing the work here.
Mr.. Albert T. Woods, of Hot
Springs, who is connected with a
large oil producing company, was
in the city the early part of the
week. He inspected the structure
where the proposed well will be
drilled. He stated that the indica-
tions were the best he had ever
seen. In fact, he was so much in
terested that he bought considerable
acreage of leases, or rather interest
in the leases.
Now that drilling will be started
next week it behooves every one who
is interested in the welfare and sue
cess Of the project to cooperate in
every. way possible with the oil COM
pany. No doubt difficulties will
arise, and will have to be overcome,
but with the whole cooperation Of
our people the difficulties can be
easily surmounted and overcome
with greater ease than without the
proper cooperation. We do not
know that any difficulties will as
sise, but as rule in Big undertake
ings like this one, more or less diff
ficulties have to be faced during the
process o1 prospecting. Hence, we
urge a whole-hearted cooperation on
the part Of the people Of this vicinity.

UNJUST AND UNFAIR
SAYS PRESIDENT GOMPERS OF ACTION OF THE
RAILROAD LABOR BOARD IN REDUCING
WAGES OF RAIL EMPLOYEES
Lowest Paid Are Deepest Cut Down to % Cents Hour
Another Illustration of the Unitness of
The Rail Board

Washington.-"A most unjust and
inequitable proceeding" declared
President Gompers, in caustic com
ment on wage reductions announced
by the railroad labor board.
"The minority decision which says
that the new wage will not allow
the father of a family to purchase as
much food as is allowed an inmate
of the Cook county (Chicago) jail
leaves little to be said in characterize
ton of the action of the majority, y
said Mr. Gompers.
"The railroad workers waited until
July 20 1920, for an increase in
wages During the four years preced-
ing the cost of living had been rising
steadily. The railroad workers had
been compelled to bear this increased
cost without any compensating wage
increase. 1t is proposed now to put
wages back where they were before
the increase of 1920.
mo one will contend that it costs
less to live now than in 1920. The
fact is there has been almost no APP
preciable change in the cost of liv-
ing, so far as the average family is
concerned. Prices of day to-day re-
quirements are about as high as ever
