GREAT DISCOVERY BY YOUTH
Experiments Of SeVenteen-Year-Old
Saxon Gave Dresden China 40 an
ApprecIatiVe World

A kings faith in the transmutation
Of metals and the skill Of an apothe-
cary's year-old son caused
the discovery Of the celebrated Ores
den ware. The king was Augustus Of
Saxony and the boy was Bottiger, who
composed tincture that was supposed
10 be capable Of being transformed in
to gold But being a genius wasn't
much fun for Botuger, for the king
locked him in complete laboratory
and refused him freedom, "O'Dair"
writes in the Milwaukee Sentinel. The
restraint almost unbalanced the boys
mind "He foamed at the mouth and
knocked his head against the wall and
trembed so violently that two soldiers
could not hold him. And he drank
u cans Of beer a day Uithout getting
drunk II was thought advisable to
move the boy to Dresden and give him
certain liberty. While continuing his
experiments there he discovered the
Meissen porcelain, commonly called
Dresden china. This discovery re
joiced Augustus and he spent large
sums in constructing the Japan pal
ace Many wOrkmen came from Delft
TO make the new ware and soon all
Europe was buying Nielsen.
In gratitude the king gave Bottiger
his freedom, a ring with his effigy, two
apes, young bear and credit with
the royal banker, and in addition the
profits from the porcelain factory for
life.
But what do you think Bottiger
died OF dissipation at the age of thir-
ty-fOur.

As purgative, Chamberlain $
Tablets are the exact thing required
Strong enough for the most robust,

without any of that terrible gripping.
They are easy and pleasant to take

Republicans Are Starv=
 ing Farm Loan Banks

Washington, Feb. 6-Congressman Wingo, in response to many inquiries as to why there is so much delay in the handling of farm loans through the Federal Land Banks, issued the following statement to-day:
 : "There is just one reason for this delay, and that is that this Repubi- can Administration is trying to starve the Federal Land Bank Sys- tenn to death
 "The last Democratic administra- tion established this farm loan sys- tenn and was at work on a plan not only to extend it but to establish a system of short term rural credits that would take care of the present credit needs of the farmer, but these plans were halted by the war.
 Since the Republicans got control of Congress three years ago, they have pursued a policy that held down the Federal Land Bank System and have not permitted it to operate to the extent necessary to take care of the demands. While they talk a great deal of what they are going to do, and have joint commissions to take testimony, and have farmers confer ences to make recommendations, yet for three years they have done noth ing. Every time the question has come up to vote in Congress the Republicans have killed the efforts of the Democrats to enlarge the capi- tai and force of the Federal Land Banks. We shall continue our fight and do the best we can to save this system and extend it's benefits

Drilling has ceased at the Steele well while casing is being set this week What will be one of the most remarkable feats ever accomplished in well in this section when con- pleted will be the setting of the first line of 10 inch casing at a depth of 1500 feet. For some time eight and quarter inch has been used because nc proper seat had been found for the ten Last week a rock was found at 1500 feet and the eight inch is be ing pulled and the hole reamed to lower the ten to the new seat. Most wells are forced to reduce much ear- Tier. With this good fortune it may be possible to complete the well with out using more than two lines of cas- ing.
 The showing of oil at the well has been the best ever encountered in any well in this section of the state The drill is sitting on top of a rock 10 IL Ile cap lOCh!

Mr. Steele pairing for whatever might happen If the sand with the pay is not en- countered here, drilling will continue There is yet much distance to go to complete the test. If fortune should reveal the oil at lesser depth than 5000 feet so much the better. MT. Steel said the rock was a white lime. The drill is in the rock 30 feet. He looks for the Woodbine sand below.

Local Banker Says Hard
 Work Will Win Success

MT. A. E. Waters, President of the Arkansas State Bank, has given out an interesting interview in which he maintains that in the conduct of bus mess generally, We should avoid ex- tremes either pessimistic or optimis- tic.
 Few of Us are justified in being over optimistic regarding the immed- fate business prospect" said Mr. Waters, but at the same time there is no good reason for pessimism.
 There is every indication that we have a fair show of seeing more nor nal business concerns as communi- ties, towns, cities, states and sections in correcting present evils and talk ing advantage of opportunities which are already ours.
 There is one influence of which We are all conscious at this time of the year and this influence is derived from the fact that Spring is just a head of us.
 Spring brings with it the new crop year, a building program which we are tctd willfje thd greatest in several years, cessation of the rigors of the winter season and general activity in all lines.
 "One thing seems certain, there will be no sudden change in conditions. Recovery will be slow but sure Hard work, close attention to business and a sensible outlook generally will help all along the line"

Cove Illinois Man, Who Decides toSettlei Here After
 Long Trip.

itt1e Rock, Feb. 4.-Here is man of means who, after an automobile trip covering 2,5OO miles, during which he +raversed nine states, finds that Ar ,,onsas offers better opportunities than any other state he has seen and he hoe gone back to his Illinois home to ,,,oko nreparations to make this state his future home. He writes the Ar kansas Advancement Association, ac- tnowledging receipt of literature sent him about the advantages offered set .,ors in this state and says, in part:
 Arkansas Has Strongest Appeal.
 CT inst recently returned from g. 5oO-mile automobile trip to Ashdown' Ark with my wife and family cover ine nine different states. Summing up oil conditions I found the state of Ar tansas possesses more natural re- sources than any of the other eight s+ates that we travelled through, in cluding my home state of Illinois.
 q had the pleasure to pass through Indiana, Kentucky, Tennessee, Arkan- sas. Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Missou- ri and Illinois. I can conscientlously say that the state of Arkansas appeals to me with more vividness than any other state I visited on my trip.
 However, I may be little partial to the state of Arkansas, owing to the fact that I have some land ill Little River county, 12 miles southwest of Ashdown. This land is all unimproved and outside of the fact that the timber resources that cover it, it has never been profitable investment for me- It was my intention to clear this land and put it in cultivation and make my future home in Arkansas.
 Will Move to Arkansas.
 T laid out several plans while was in Little River county and expect to execute all of them in the near future. Owing to the fact that all my business interests are located in Illinois, it ne cessitated my return to prepare for my future in Arkansas. All my friends in Arkansas have been quite interest ed since my return and for their bene- fit I will ask you to send me few copies of the 300 Facts About Arkan- sas so that I may distribute them to substntiate my own words that l have been revealing to them since my re- turn"

Of the friends to whom he asks that Arkansas litera- ture be sent. 4These are all promin- ent, influential men, he writes, and it may be possible to direct their at tention toward developing the future welfare of the state of Arkansas.
 It is the experience of the Arkansas Advancement Association, according to it's officers, that former Arkansans, as well as others who become interest CT in the state with a view to locating in it, are enthusiastic in just such VOL
