MASONS INCREASE WAGES
TeXarkana Bricklayers to Receive Sl2
 Day After April 15.

TeXarkana, March 24-The local brlcklayers' organization today an n>unced an increase iE the wage scale of $50 an hour, or SIP day. effec- tive April 15. When two or more men are employed on a job, one of them shall act as foreman, with pay at SIS a day The reason given for tic ad- vance is the 1tinucd high cost of living and the sharp ircreaso in food prices and other necessities.
 o. M. Mitchell, Q bTicklaying con tractor said that there is Q great shortage of bricklayers. Before the World war thele were 10000 regis tered bricklayers in the United States, while after the armistice there re- mained but 79,OOO, he said. Mortality among the craft also is said to be great, and there have been few. if ary appretices in recent years.
 Employers of rough labor r this section are experiencing difficulty in securing help. Negroes are showine strong aversion to going to the farms and timber to work. and tran s1ent white men applying for employ ment at the labor agencies usually specify other than day labor johs. The pay being offered for farm, mill and timber workers is from $2 to s a day.
 It also is said that owing to she i'm possibility of securing reliable and eff ficient help, several of tle principal dairies of the city are being equipped with milking machines, operated by electrical power This, it is said. en- Iables the proprietors to do without from one to three helpers, but the cost of the machinery, power, etc., is found ltC be considerable.

ARK. FIFTH IN OIL INDUSTRY
for February Reaches
 Highest Figure on Record.

| Washington, March 24.-Daily aver age production of petroleum in Arkan- sas during February reached the high est figure in the history of the indus ] tly in that state and puts Arkansas in fifth place among the great oil pro- lducing states of the country, accord ing to figures made public by the Unit ed States Geological Survey today.
 In only four states-California Okla homa, Texas and Wyoming-was a greater amount # petroleum produced lGs: month than in Arkansas.
 The first three are old producing states and produce more oil than all the rest of the states together, while Wyoming, like Arkansas, is compara- lively new territory.
 Both Louisiana and Kansas, which have outranked Arkansas in the past, are new trailing behind
 During the month 2,225,00 barrels of petroleum were produced ill Arkan- sas, daily average of S0,679 barrels. The previous month Of January, the Arkansas production was 2,317,000 barrels, but because there are three more days in January than in Febru- ary, the daily average production was only 74,742. Thus the gain over Janu- |ary amounts to 5,936 barrels per day During January and February of 1923 the state produced 4,576,000 barrels, as compared with 2,OS5,OOO barrels for the !same period of 1922.
 During February, Louisiana produc- led 1,SS4,000 barrels, as compared with 2,42S, ,0O0 barrels in January, while Ar kansas produced in February, 2,122, ,OOOI las compared with 2,421 ,0OO barrels in January.

Negro Health Week
 Covers April 1 to 7
To the Colored Public:

To the Colored Public:
 I take this method to impress upon you the importance of the observance of Health Week as set apart by the State beginning April 1st to the 7th inclusive.
 Let's give special attention to our back yards, kitchens and bedrooms ] Then suppose that each of us plant
 aae flowers in the yard and care for
 In during the year. Remember, dear reader, that the environm mt of our hildren determins very largely the x g and character of the citizen Ii surroundings are clean, orderly and beautiful these virtues will be portrayed in the life of the individual. The same is true when conditions are tho opposite Instead of producing a citizenry that will prove an asset to any state CT country there will be in stead that low, vicious criminal type of citizen that fills the Detention houses, tha reform schools and penitentiaries of the state.
 Let us further safeguard our health by properly screening our homes a. gainst the fly and mosquito, for they are the agencies that are directly re- sponsible for the bringing into our homes of the dreaded diseases, tuber- culosis, from which 75,000 of our peo- pie die annually, typhoid and malaria. Remember the old adage. "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure"
 Following is the programme as ar ranged by the Department of Educa- tion. Little Rock:
 This program follows the suggest ions made for the ninth annual observ- ance of Negro Health Week by the Tuskegee Negro Conferenc>.
 Sunday, April 1-Health Education Day. Health sermons and addresses by ministers, doctors, nurses and other qualified persons. Urge cooperation. Stress the importance of every one taking part ey cry day.
