The Lawton Constitution, pub
lished at Lawton, Oklahoma, in its
New Years issue, contains the fol-
lowing item Of interest to many
friends in this and adjoining parishes
Of Mr.. M. b. Coltharp, who, with his
son, is now located in that enterpris-
ing western town, where they are
engaged in oil refining. The. Consti-
tuition says:
Lawton's east oil field has the dis
tinction Of having a one-man refin-
cry, efficient in every detail and work
ing every day. Coltharp & Son have
put in one-man refinery in the north
west of the northeast section 81
2n-10, and are now refining fifty bar
rels per day. The capacity Of the
plant is ESQ barrels. They have been
in operation about ten days, and are
turning out two products, gasoline and
fuel oil.
Many Of the wells in the shallow
field have been allowed to deterior-
ate, on account Of there being no
market for the oil, Some Of the wells
have been pumped and the oil stored,
but many Of them will h.seiy DC
ruined unless they are looked after
shortly.
The section on which the Coltl.ar2
Refinery is located is fortunate i'm
that it has q 5000 gallon artesian
well on the place as well rs a gas
well with 4T5,000 cubic feet flow.
thus insuring this one-man institution
plenty Of fuel and water. Mr.. rol-
tharp plans on creating his 25o ca
pacity shortly. He has found a ready
market for his product.

LETTER FROM MR.. LOMBARD.

December Is, 1921.
Supt. T. H. Harris,
Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
Dear Sir:
During the week Of November 20,
the writer visited st. Joseph, New
elton and Waterproof in company
with Supt. Barrow. At all three
places, demonstration lessons were
given with special emphasis upon
those types Of work that are suited
for use with the whole group of
pupils rather than the selected few
who compose the representative team.
On the day Of the visit to New
elton, the weather forced the dem
onstration indoors.
had the good fortune to see the
Waterproof boys basketball team in
action against q team from Vidalia.
It is not difficult to understand the
respect in which this team is held by
the schools Of Northwest Louisiana.
1t is a very active scoring machine,
well coached in the play Of the game,
and apparently well conditioned.
The Tensas parish standard Of ex-
cellence in basketball is high. In
this respect, as in all other matters
that depend upon a playground, St.
Joseph is at a disadvantage. The lot
on which the school house is built
is wholly inadequate to afford space
for both the school house and the
playground.
A community of real consequence
in the State like St. Joseph ought to
have a modern building with ample
Fairgrounds. Young growing minds
and bodies cannot thrive in surround
ings so obviously not fitted to their
needs.
Respectfully,
j. E. LOMBARD,
) State Physical Director.

LETTER-FRoM MR.. COKE.

Rouge.
December 81 1921.
Supt. C. L. Barrow,
st. Joseph, La.
My dear Mr.. Barrow:
Recently, on my inspection Of the
schools of your parish, / visited the
st. Joseph High School. There are
a number of conditions existing in
that school to which wish to direct
your attention.
In the first place, the building is
old and out of late. The heating,
lighting and ventllating systems are
not properly arranged. A number of
the classrooms are entirely too small
and very poorly arranged. The build
ing, as a whole, is too small and
there is an insufficient number Of
rooms for class work, for libraries
and laboratories.
l understand that there has been
some discussion in the community re-
garding the advsability of construct
ing a modern high school building.
/ sincerely hope that sentiment ia
vorable to this proposition will con-
tinue to grow rapidly and that St.
Joseph will soon have school build
ing in keeping with the progress Of
the times and in which the citizen
ship may take a just pride.
With the seasons best wishes, l
am,
Yours sincerely,
JNO. E. COKE,
Assistant Rural School Supervisor.

the invitation. As the ear rolled up the East
Central avenue pavement this visitor remarked
on the handsome high school. and the progress
sive atmosphere Of Albuquerque as reflected
by its fine public buildings and paved streets.
As the ear hit the city limits and forged into
the rough country just east Of the Presbyter-
ian sanitarium the ID. V. grunted. As the
journey progressed he exclaimed that il was
too bad that the streets of a growing city must
be torn up by improvements under way.
A gloomy citizen IN the back seat explained
10 the ID. v. that East Central avenue beyond
the city limits was not torn up, that it was
merely in its normal condition
The d.. V. lost all his enthusiasm for pro-
gressive Albuquerque. As he. was driven
through the University campus he said. How
interesting When the the Country club was
pointed out he exclaimed enthusiastically, "Oh,

The ride out East Central and back on East
Silver lost Albuquerque a friend. He would
not have been taken over those trails but for
bis urgent demand to be shown the State Uni
versity.
On the day before this unhappy sightseeing
tour a young woman riding in fancied security
in a motor car was suddenly thrown tkyward
by a force from beneath. Her nose struck the
supporting bar of the cars top. The nose was

make guaranteed against every kind Of shock
except dynamite.
What are we going to do about these east
ern outletsf
Nothingi
What are the pee pie who have bought prop
erty east of the city limits, who have improved
that property and who are paying taxes on the
land and improvements, going to do about a
situation that clips dollars of the value of
their real estate as sharp shears will clip crisp
spaperf
The condition of these two streets is a pub
lie disgrace.
The city government has no authority east
Of the limits and is not TO be held responsible.
The state highway commission can hardly be
added with the crime against progress that
the neglect Of these streets perpetrates.
The county commission is squabbling over
whether the road boss should or should not be
a relative Of one of the commissioners.
It's a great life IL you don't weaken.
II you risk your automobile on East Central
or East Silver either you or your
will weaken. Probably both.
Incidentally, unless yon pay your road tax
right now, and without further notice of any
kind, you viii be hailed before the caliph and
fined.
