More than one hundred and fifty people witnessed the spudding in Sunday afternoon, January 11, of the first test well of the Waldron Gas and Oil company on the Harrison Huie farm, two and one-half miles northwest of Waldron.

Dr. C. Bevil, widely known physician and naturalist, directed the bit of the new Star No. 45 Spudder as it plunged earthward in search of the liquid gold in Scott county.

The drilling machinery of Whitehead and Eddington, contractors of Tulsa and Oklahoma City, was set in motion at 2:25 o'clock in the afternoon on a knoll midway between a small log cabin which was erected more than 75 years ago, and the grave of Harrison Huie, who was killed by bushwhackers in the spring of 1864.

The Waldron Oil and Gas company, a corporation, is composed of local men. At its organization meeting the officers were elected. They are: Dr. C. Bevil, president; Gene Davidson, secretary-treasurer; Lee Crutchfield, Breem Crutchfield, and Henry Taff, directors.

The location of the well is in the SW 1/4 NW 1/4, 17-3-28 and the depth Wednesday afternoon was approximately 125 feet.

Do you notice some difference in the appearance of The Advance Reporter this week? If one has faith in the near future return of prosperity, now is the time to get ready for it, so this paper has recently installed additional equipment, increased the force in its printing and reportorial force, adding new type faces, and planning for something big real soon. Business can't stop. Farming, merchandising, banking, printing and thousands of other lines of business will keep going, so, instead of slipping, why not take on a big united effort and advance?

Altogether now, one, two, three--"let's go."

Hickman, J.B. Cox; Hon, C. Young; Oliver, S.A. Bentley; Cauthron, C.R.

Machinery is now being set up to handle the crop loans of the Government and no doubt the money will be ready for the farmers in a very few days. Let us now pass this warning to farmers: it is much better to get along on just as little as possible this year, and now is the time to be making out your budget and making your plans. Remember, if we get a loan there will come a pay-day, and if we borrow heavily we must pay heavily; the less we use of this money and yet make our crop, the easier we will pay this fall. The more we will have to pay on other debts. Make your figures close and borrow as little as possible.

In many cases farmers owe store accounts that they will not be in position to pay and will get money from the Government with which to buy feed, seed and fertilizer. When this is the case it is nothing more than good business to spend that money with the merchant who has graciously carried you over. That merchant is entitled to the business and should have it. If we can not pay, we can at least give the merchant some cash business, thereby allowing him to continue until we are in position to pay. Think this over.

This year farmers will want to plant early feed crops and we know of nothing better than oats. These should be planted early, February 5 to March 1 seems to be the best time to sow. At the outlook meeting here Wednesday it was recommended that we plant Ferguson or some strain of Red Rust Proof oats. At any rate we should have this year a large acreage of oats.

It was also recommended that we plant an early variety of corn, such as Funk's 90-day, a very early yellow corn. We expect to have some seed of this variety in Waldron by planting time.

We can now get your cotton seed tested free of charge at the University. If you are in doubt about your seed, bring or send me one pound and I will send them in and have the test made for you. We should always know what we are planting. Not all seed that look good will germinate.

 Some 304 families are now being supplied with Red Cross aid in this county. Perhaps a few of these are not deserving. But it is better to feed, say one in a hundred, undeserving, than to turn one distressed one down. There'll be no lack of criticism--always is. Trace these rumors down and usually there is nothing more of it than hearsay. The committee pays little attention to rumors or unsigned letters. The Red Cross makes no distinction in regard to race, color, character...just one thing..."are you out of food and can get it no other way." Preachers and bootleggers look alike when hungry and with hungry families. We have both on the feed role. Everybody who is needy has a perfect right to make application for relief. It is no disgrace and if you think some are being fed who does not deserve it, keep silent unless you know the facts, then report to the committee instead of broadcasting to your neighbors.

The girls in the home economics classes of the Waldron high school will mend, clean and remodel the clothing donated to the Red Cross relief committee for distribution among those in need, according to a statement by Miss Elois Stanford, instructor. The letter from the club is as follows: "Notice to the Red Cross: If any clothes donated to the Red Cross need mending, cleaning or remodeling in any way, the home economics classes of the Waldron high school will be glad to do the work. Home Economics Club."

Borger, Texas, January 10, 1931.

Mr. J.B. Cox, Editor, The Advance Reporter, Waldron, Arkansas.

Dear Mr. Cox:

When I left Arkansas to come to Texas, you know, I thought it would be just fine. But after I arrived I began to change my mind. Out here in Texas the wind blows in the day time and it blows all through the night; and to people who are not use to it, it is an awful sight. I never did like Texas, and I can tell you the reason why: the carbon is black and the sand is so thick, you never see the sky. You never see any trees, there is not a one in sight. I am going back to good old Arkansas; going back to live again; going back to Arkansas to drink water out of the spring. I never could have stayed in Texas this long if it hadn't been for one thing--and that is the Advance Reporter. It tells me everything.

Just another reader, Mrs. Neoma Welch.

"Under Suspicion" with J. Murrary, star of the popular "Rio Rita," and lovely Lois Moran in a song romance of the Canadian woods. It is an exciting encounter with the Royal Northwest Mounted police. The story centers around the deeds of a famous World War aviator--thrilling forest fires, snow slides, and daring aeroplane flights. Added: Fox News and "Don't Bite Your Dentist."

Your last chance to hear the voice of Milton Sills or to see his wonderful acting, "The Sea Wolf," taken from that world famous story of Jack London's pen, was filmed just a few days before Sills suddenly died. The story of an iron jawed skipper who sailed the seven seas will strike the adventurous spirit of every person. The picture was really made in midocean and shows the gruesome cruelties inflicted upon less fortunate sailors. In a word, "a red-blooded sea picture." Added: Burton Holmes' travelogue, "Spain's Mad Festival," and "Our Nagging Wives."

"Big Money" featuring Eddie Quillon, the latest mun-making discovery of the screen. Big Money is what everyone is looking for and it is what Eddie Quillan found. Also gables and comedy.

Kathleen Norris' latest novel, "The Passion Flower," featuring Kay Johnson, Lewis Stone and Zazu Pitts. Two wealthy women struggle for the love of a handsome chauffeur! Zazu Pitts, the wittiest girl in the movies, furnishes the comedy in this comedy-drama of 1931. Extra: Charley Chase in "Girl Shy," and Fox News.

Parks, Arkansas, January 9, 1931.

The Brothers and Sisters of The Red Cross,

Dear Ones:

I haven't any way to come up to see you all, and I will just write to you. I have got a number of children that are barefooted and in need of clothes. I feel that I am entitled to the help of the Red Cross. This is my first time to ask any one to help me. We can't get much work to do for our children, and if you will be kind enough to send my children some things, I will appreciate your help as I am in need. If you will, please send me a box to Parks, Arkansas. I have seven children, six boys and a girl. I will thank you for anything that you can send. Hoping to hear from you soon, I am

Respectfully yours, XXXX

On January 22, Mr. G.W. Knox Jr., University of Arkansas, College of Agriculture, Extension Service, will be in the county to meet with some of the poultry raisers to form a committee to sponsor our "Grow Healthy Pullets" work.

 Interest in poultry raising is growing and our poultry producers are finding that there are many things yet to learn in order to make the most profit from a flock. One of these things is to produce a strong vigorous flock of pullets with the least possible loss of baby chicks and bring them into production properly, feed the right kind of feed to keep them laying, when eggs are the highest in price.

Several of our poultry producers in the county are demonstrating that eggs can be produced at a profit even at the present low price of eggs by proper care and feed.

We are anxious to have at least one turkey production demonstration in the county the coming year.

The Parks Home Demonstration club met at the home of Mrs. Steve Smith Wednesday, January 7. An all day meeting had been planned by the members, but as it rained during the morning and looked rainy all day, only a small number were present. Mrs. Smith was much disappointed. The next meeting will be at the home of Mrs. Irene Smith the first Wednesday in February. She expects a full attendance rain or shine.

The women of Pleasant Hill community are busy making cream cheese. They report some good cheese--just as good as is bought at the store--but find it hard to keep it long enough to ripen properly, the members of the family are so anxious to eat it. Cheese makes a good substitute for meat in the diet. It takes very little time and is very little trouble to make.

The Pleasant Hill Club met January 8 with Mrs. Rachel Jones. Eight members were present. Some went before noon and helped with the quilting. Meeting was called to order by the president.

Miss Lindsey was with us and made a good talk on chickens; also on helping the needy and the Red Cross. Mrs. Emery read a piece she had composed about the club members. The next meeting will be held with Mrs. Satterfield, January 22. We hope all members are present.
