EL DORADO IS FAST
BECOMING GREAT Cll
Little Rock, May 10.—“t
Dorado is destined to becom
a second Tulsa” declared Ma.,
or F. H. Smith of that cit
while in Little Rock yesterdi..
When asked why El Dorad
had not been raised to a cit
of the first class Mayor Smiti
said that they are so bus,
bringing in oil wells that the;
have not had time to take spe.
ial census. The city has ir
creased in population in th
last few months from a smal
town to about 18,000 popula
tion. The only cities of Ark
ansas that are ahead of it ar
Little Rock. Fort Smith uni
Pine Bluff, and the El Dorad'
boosters are confident tha
they will soon pass the other
and have only Little Rock as
competitor. There are nov
46 producing wells in the E
Dorado field, yielding a dail;
production of 130,000 barrels
There are 230 wells drillei
and it is almost a daily occur
ence for some new well to b<
brought in. So far only 4 dr;
holes have been struck, whirl
is considered a most remark
able record.
THE COUNTRY PAPER
A noted educator addressin,
the Mississipi State Teacher.
Association at Meridian, Miss,
last week, in the course of hi:
address, said:
“Nothing like our weekly
country press exists the work
over . . . The circulation o
the press of a country is tht
measure of its consciousness
its conviction and its capacitj
to act as one.
“When the final and equif
able distribution of honors fei
distinguished service in tht
winning of the recent war i
made the country editor w>l
receive no small recognition.
“I insist that every teache
should be a regular subscribe
for the local paper. It is un
just that schools and teachci
expect the weekly paper t
give publicity to all their ac
tivities and space for ever;
public notice and offer nothin
in return. I commend thos
county superintendents who re
quire every teacher in the?
county to subscribe for th<
county paper, providing com
pensation to cover same. I
should be the medium for th<
dissemination of the education
al thought of the county.

Supreme Court Says
The Arkansas Supreme
Court last Monday held that
the Volstead act and the
national prohibition amend
ment do net supersede stat.
prohibiton laws, and that anj
person might be tried and eon
victed for the violation of th>
state prohibition laws. The de
vision was rendered in the case.
of Rufus Alexander of Garlanc
•
County and Will Decker an<
Abe % Blount of Randolpl
County, all <f whom had beer
convicted of the illegal sale o
intoxicating liquor.
The court in its opinior
quoted from the decisions o
other state supreme courts
and also quoted the Volsteac
amendment in part, showing
that nc provisions were mad<
for the repeal of state laws
except those in conflict.
The case was appealed h
the court on the grounds tha
the eigtheenth amendmen
and the Volstead act repealer
all state laws in effect at tin
time of the adoption of thi
amendment and the passing
of the act by the national Con
gress.
The state took the position
in the case that the Volsteac
act was cumulative, and that
it was a federal enactment in
addition to the various prohibi
tion laws of the various states.
The court held that the Vol
stead act was cumulative and
and did not repeal the state
laws in force in the various
states at -the time of the pass
age1 of the act.
This contention was raised
in all three of the cases whirr
were appealed. The court con
solidated the cases, rendering
the same opinion for each of
the three cases.
This question is of particulai
interest to the various county
officials, it is said, due to the
fact that they have been han
dicapped because of the lack
of an < pinion from the supreme
court.
FORTY FARMERS WILL
RAISE STRAWBERRIES
i
[
Forty farmers of Jackson
County have signified their in
tention to form a strawberry
asociation. The cry for cotton
reduction has become acute and
what to raise has been the
problem of many who know
nothing else. The s il of various
sections of the country is we.!
adapted, it is said to growing
berries, and an association,
with Dr. II. O. Walker chair
man will seek to interest many
in this department of agricul
ture. A meeting of the agri
cultural bureau of the Cham
ber of Commerce has been
called for at an early date,
when the farm market bureau
and shipping market will be
taken up.
There is food for thought
in this for farmers around
Newark.
