OIL is STRUCK AT
WELL NEAR PIGGOTT

Piggott, Oct. 29.-Piggott is in a
fever heat OF excitement as the re-
suit OF drillers striking what they
claim is oil in paying quantities.
The oil was struck last Saturday,
and since that time the workmen have
been busily engaged in placing casing
in the well, located on the Bob Soller
property in the south part Of Piggott.
The well was started six weeks ago.
II is down to depth Of 1900 feet.
and when the drill brought up consider
able oil, pumps were put to work and
additional oil was removed.
F. J. Santer, in charge OF drilling
operations, believes the well will pro-
duce in paying quantities after the
casing is placed. He says he believes
the oil will flow out since the drill
has encountered quite a gas pressure.

Second Teams Tie

The Poca Hi and Walnut Ridge
second football teams battled to a
scoreless tie here last Friday after
noon.
The local boys were much heavier
than the visitors but the Lawrence
county boys had speed enough to of
set this advantage. The visitors also
had some trick plays that kept our
boys guessing. Some of the plays
were good for long gains.
In the first half the ball was in pos
session of Walnut Ridge practically all
the time. Poca took the offensive only
twice in that period.
In the second half POca's superior
weight began to tell and twice they
carried the ball to within four yards
Of score. The backs, however, lack
ed the punch to put it over.
Layl, Mock and Thompson were
Pocas best ground gamers, Thompson
being the individual star of the game.
The Walnut Ridge center, a 110-pound-
err, was the star of the visitors. slip
ping through the line on almost every
play to harass the Poca backs.
The little fellows played the best
game played on the local grid this sea-
son.

Woman AS Election Judge

Something unusual in the political
history of Randolph county occurred
last Tuesday in the Congressional cleo
ton
The officials in Elevenpoint township
found themselves one judge short Of
the required number and called upon
woman, Mrs. Clara B. George, to
fill the vacancy. She accepted the APP
pointment, was duly certified, and
served as a qualified election judge.
Mrs. George is a new citizen in
Elevenpoint, having moved there only
short time ago from the bottoms.
At the rate she is going, however, it Is
evident that she intends to become a
good citizen Of the community.
This was the first time in history
that a woman qualified as an election
official in Randolph county.

WALNUT RIDGE WINS
FROM POCA HI TEAM

Coach Rainwater brought his Aal-
nut Ridge High School Bobcats" to
Pocahontas Wednesday and took a
game from the Poca Hi eleven by a
10 score.
The scoring was done in the second
quarter. Walnut Ridge took the ball
on Poca's IS yard line after jar EFT
had broken loose for a 20 yard gain
on an end run. A fake formation was
called and Holt, diminutive halfback,
slipped around right end for the touch
down. forward pass was completed
for the extra point.
Pocahontas had a good chance to
score in this period. "Foncy" Spikes
made a sensational 10 yard run, fol-
lowed by some slashing plunges
through the line to take the ball four
teen yards from the Walnut Ridge
goal. Six yards was made through
the line on the first down but junk IS
field, Poca back, lost seven on fun
BILE Poca recovered but was unable
to gain on the next two plays and JOY
ner punted out of danger.
In the last half the Poca team show
ed better brand of football playing
and three times carried the ball down
the field to the shadow of the Bobcats
goal. but lacked the driving powec to
put it over.
The Bobcat team is composed of a
fine set of youngsters, one of the clean
est teams ever to appear in Pecan m
tas-a striking contrast with some
Bobcat teams Poca Hi has met. 10y
ner, 200 pound captain, and jarrett,
lashy back, starred for Walnut. 10y
nor was in practically every play ard
exhibited amazing speed for big
man. Menard Fisher, Poca Hi play T
last year, played guard with the RIB
cats and gave good account of him
self.
Spikes, Lester and Smith again form.
ed the principal part Of POca's team.
Spikes, however, was badly off form on
throwing passes and on kicking. Har-
old Black played heady game nj
lquarter after relieving Throgmorton In
the second half. Carroll, Spaulding
and Trabue also showed much improve
ment over former games. Leon Brown
who has been playing backfield here
tofore, was placed in the line and play
ed his best game of the season. He re
peatedly opened holes for the backs
and several times broke through on
defense to drop Bobcat for loss.
The team exhibited much impr we
ment and their supporters have idle
reason to grumble over yesterdays de
feat

is COUNTY CHAIRMAN
CHRISTMAS SEAL SALE

Mrs Virginia Henderson has again
received the appointment as chairman
for Randolph county in the sale of
Red Cross Christmas Seals. The funds
realized from the sale of these seals is
used in combating tuberculosis in Ar
kansas.
Former Governor Thomas G. McRae,
President of the Arkansas Tuberculo-
sis Association will act as State Chair
man for the tuberculosis Seal sale.
He states that already the organiza-
ton for the sale is practically com
plete and that local and county chair
men, realizing the benefit which the
state is deriving from the program of
health education which the Association
is conducting, have determined to in
crease the states per capita sale this
year.
"These little penny stickers are real
ly the most remarkable stamps in his
tory" said Mr.. McRae. Twenty
years ago numttn eHoTl WIS pONeIlcoo
before the terrible specter of tubercu-
losis and one in seven of all who died
fell by the hand of the white plague.
Then in little Denmark postal clerk
had the vision of miles Of pennies TO
be used to prevent tuberculosis and to
search for the cure. Everywhere the
seal travels, ON postcards, packages
and letters, it carries the message that
tuberculosis can be cured that 1t can
be prevented and that children need
no longer be haunted by the horrible
fear of death from this disease because
they have inherited it from their par
ents. In twenty years the Christmas
Seal and the agencies which 1t has
helped to create, have saved hundreds
of thousands of lives. Arkansas act
ually invests about two cents per cap
tia in these seals and we believe this
year, with the complete organization
which has been effected, we shall be
able to at least double this amount"

New Haven. Jan. 16 P}-A new Yale ice rink to replace the arena. burned more than a year ago, is proposed by the Yale Daily News today as a fitting memorial to the late Walter Camp.
 It is pointed out by the News that the Yale hockey team, with no home of it's own, is forced to depend upon the Athletic association for a great deal of financing and upon the gen. crosity of neighbors for some Of the required practice it gets.
 Great as was his interest in foot ball" the News says, "Walter Camp was much more deeply concerned with the general building up of sportsmanship and the right physical development of Americans.
 "As a Yale man he was primarily interested in making her athletics sound and effective, in administrat ing to any of their weak points, and in using his influence to help them meet their requirements, if Walter Camp were here today what he would want more than anything else would rc new arena"
