Installed in Topeka Postoffice.

Installed in Topeka Postoffice.
The amount of mail matter faced
daily at the Topeka postoffice is suffi-
cient to- warrant the installation of a
mechanical facing or pickup stable.
and a table of that character will be
furnished at the earlist possible date,
according to letter which Postma ster
w. lOs sRigby has received from the
department at Washington
These tables are operated by a one
half horsepower motor and are of
sufficient size to allow eight men to
face mail at one time. The letters
are dropped in a slot and conveyed
to the stacker by means of a revolving
wheel which permits the canceling
machine operator to cancel the mail
without delay. The tables require
about so square feet of floor space.
The regular canoeing machines will
be used but it is believed this equip4

over the method of facing mail now in
vogue and which will expedite its dis
patch, The tables are now in course
of construction and one should be re-
ceived here shortly after July Is, the

. There was a red hot reception
awaiting the state board when it met
mere today. In order that everything
be carried out according to the stat
utes and a recent decision of the su-
( the meeting. When Miss Wooster
and members of the board clashed,
W. G. Ralston, assistant attorney
general, told the board what to do
Usually his instructions were in con-
1llct with opinions of the state SUI
board
The program to remove Miss Euna
Arrasmith as secretary of the state
board was carried out perfectly. Ad
vised by Ralston. there wasn't a hitch
in the plan. Several times Miss
Wooster made the going a bit heavy
when she argued as to board rights
and asserted that the removing of Miss
Arrasmith for failure to produce rec
ords at a recent meeting was both IN
fair and irregular. She declared the
young woman should have another
chance.
Once during the conflict regarding
procedure. Miss Wooster demanded
that Ralston produce records in sup
port of the recent mandamus suit in
the supreme court Members of the
board insisted this incident closed
Miss Wooster didn't seem quite so GER
tain. She said the attorney generals
charges were false and she had a right
to have the names Of teachers whom
she was alleged 10 have summarily
discharged.

We feel this whole fight is a fight
on the women of the state and not a
fair. square fight on Miss Wooster's
record and work" said Mrs. Mitchner.
We want the board and the public to
know that we are supporting her in
her work We are not in politics. but
we do feel that this thing is for the
purpose of discrediting women in pub |
lie service.
Our main interest is to assure the !
state board that we do not favor prop

favor the employment of teachers who /

ADVOCATES PARISH FARM FOR
THIRD JUDICIAL DISTRICT

Mr.. H. B. Helm, of Minden, ap'
peared before the police jury in ses'
sion here this week with a proposition
providing for the establishment OF a
parish farm on which prisoners from
the parishes of Webster, Bienville and
Claiborne would be worked, the farm
to be owned Jointly by the three par
ishes. After hearing Mr.. Helms
proposition, the police jury appointed
Bert Davis member from Ward l. as
committee Of one to confer with the
police juries of the other two parish
es relative to the proposition, and tc
be ready to report at the next regu'
lar meeting Of that body.
The idea of parish farm for the
parishes of Claiborne, Webster and
Bienyille was mentioned in the Demo.
crat a few weeks ago, and was sug.
gested to us by Judge J. E. Reynolds
The Democrat concurs with Judge
REYNOLDS in the belief that such an
arrangement would be a marked i'm
provament over the present practice
of sending prisoners guilty Of minor
crimes to the State penitentiary. AL
though we have not given the matter
much consideration, it would seem t
Justify a thorough investigation by
our police jury of the merits and draw
backs of such a PLAN.

HIGH PRICES PAID FOR
LEASES AND ROYALTIES

Interest in the possibilities Of the
territory surrounding Arcadia as a
possible oil field continues at high
pitch, and good prices are being paid
for leases and royalties. Wednesday
quite large block of acreage was leas
ed by the ROxana Oil Co., who have
been acquiring leases south and south
west Of Arcadia for some time. The
price being paid is around $1,000.
DR.. Sherman, of Haynesville, whC
has quite large acreage in this terri
tory, paid $3.50 per acre for a lease
on 60 acres located about 5 or 6 miles
southeast of Arcadia, Wednesday.
B. H. Talbert is reported to have
been offered $500 an acre for a
thirty-second royalty on his land
which lies within the Smitherman
block. Mr.. Talbert did not accept the
offer.
AS high as $1,000 an acre has been
offered for leases in some Localities
near here, but 50 far no deal has been
reported.
Much speculation is current as tc
when Smitherman and associates will
begin drilling. However, according t.
a statement made by Mr.. Sid Beene
associated with Mr.. Smitherman, the
only thing now holding them back is
that they are not through straighten
ing up the titles to their holdings
Their attorneys are busy looking int
the legality of all titles of acreage
held by them, and will doubtless have
everything satisfactory within a
reasonable length of time.
They are drilling at depth of zoe
feet on the Carl Golf lease. which is
just a little southeast of the Smith
erman block.
