IN EFFORT TO EDUCATE ALL
Legion Department Commander OF
Arkansas is Carrying Gospel TO
Every Section OF State.

o. L. Bodenhammer, department
commander OF the American Legion
in Arkansas, Is making a determined
effort to aid in bringing about educa-
tion OF men, women ana children. Bo-
denhammer has been carrying the gos-
pei Of education into every section of
his state, and has aroused the interest
Of the citizenry in the question.
One of the most interesting phases
the campaign has been the work OF
the Legion leader with the school
children Of the state. At one meeting
in Fort Smith, Mr.. Bodenhammer
spoke to 1000 school children using
patriotism as his theme.
Ten million AmerIcan-born men
and women now In this country are
not able to read and write" he told
the children THE American Legion
stands for better education as protec-
ton to the future citizens OF Amer
lea"
Following the address, a stand OF
national colors was presented to the
school as a gift from the local Legion
post.
At a recent conference of educa-
tional officials of southern states on
illiteracy, Commander Bodenhammer
declared that illiteracy stood opposed
TO the development of patriotic citi-
2enship; that 1t was detrimental to
the building of citizenship of de-
Tenders; that II prevented a voting
citizenship; and that 1t impeded the
progress Of a law-abiding citizenship.

against the Government on this
proposition in the lower Federal
courts.
Thereupon the Department 81
Justice, under the previous admin
istration, stopped fighting and never
went to the Supreme Court.
Meanwhile the Department of the
Interior, having thus lost half of
the reserve to the Southern Pa
cific Railroad, was about to grant
an extremely valuable part of the
rest of it to the Honolulu company.
, This was stopped by President
Wilson.
Later, under the present national
administration, the case was re.
opened and the grant was made.
Other grants and leases have also
happened. This reserve, from the
standpoint of conservation for the
future. is now myth. It has be.
come part of current contemporary
oil operations and will be sucked
dry just like any other oil field.

as follows regarding all five existing
naval oil reserves within the boun-
Claries of the United States.
Reserve Number One. It is in
California. The Standard Oil Conf
pany put forward a claim on a piece
Of it. The Department of Justice
resisted the claim. An Assistant
Attorney General began a suit about
It. Then, in 1921, under this Admin
istration, the suit was dropped with
out 4 fight. Meanwhile, it was
found that oil was thought to he
leaking out of this reserve into wells
on neighboring land which the Gov
eminent had granted to private oil
companies. Therefore, to check this
leaking, contract was granted, in
1921, by Secretary Of the Interior
Fall, to the Doheny oil interests TO
drill "offset" wells within the re-
serve.
Then the Doheny interests were
allowed to extend their operations
into the drilling of wells which are
not .'offset" wells. Today they have
from the United States Government
through the Interior Department, q
lease which authorizes them to drill
wells and drain out the oil on tracts
some five-sixths Of the area
of the whole reserve. This reserve.
from the standpoint Of conservation
for the future, is gone.
Second Fight Dropped.
Reserve Number Two. This re-
serve is also in California. The

it. The railroad company won
