Charles E. Dicken, president of Ouachita College, who was principal speaker on the program at the noonday lunchcon of the Rotary Club held at the Hotel Marion Thursday. Dr. Dicken referred to the three great situations with which the world is now confronted, as world currents, and in his talk outlined them as the educational, economical and "world imperial" currents. He referred to the proposed league or nations as one of the greatest agreements in which the countries could enter, now and in years to come, to stand for what he termed the "highest point of civilization." Much of the time at Thursday's meeting was devoted to the discussion of an entertainment who will for be the Pulaski County boys given pigs to by members of the Rotary Club.

The club members some time ago signed notes for the purchase of the pigs, and each member is to have a boy in whom he will take a personal interest to see that he progresses in his enterprise.

Southern Trust Company against MABRY'S CHRONICLE Vol. I Little Rock, April 17, 1919 No. 3 The razor. is an instrument of torture that had its origin in medieval history, and has been perpetuated on man as an instrument of torture, and even the better half of humanity have not escaped it, if one cares to consider "My Lady's decollette." The razor has been man's constant companion ever since he began to doubt the wisdom the providing a coat of beard Creatotect the face and throat, and has catered to the supposed improvement of his looks at the expense of inviting colds, la grippe and even influenza by removing his natural protection. The razor used by various people for different purposes.

The negro has introduced it to more uses than has any other race of people, for besides its use as approved or indulged in by the Caucasian, he is given to using it for carving a watermelon or another of his race, with malice aforethought. It is usualy conceded by the well that from an industrial viewpoint the razor is the instrument of the barber, as well as sometimes being a barbarous instrument in his hands, and while walkIng down the street I temporarily forgot that in olden days the barber was a surgeon as well, and that his red striped sign was originally designed to designate this. Evidently some members of the barber family confuse surgery with the butcher's trade. All of which I was gently reminded when yesterday I was relieved at the lower ex tremity of my chin by Friend Barber, who hastened to assure me that the act was not. committed with with malice forethought.

And this reminded me of an incident that happened in Fort Worth several years ago, when, early one morning, I went in to get a shave and found that only one knight of the blade was down and was entertaining a mid Parson in his own approved fashion. This was before the camel had made the city his home, and the barber, as was evidenced by his breath, had been courting the bottle. And as a result thereof drawn first, second and third blood. The parson displayed heroic patience, as was shown the following conversation: man, you see what whiskey will do for one." it makes the skin very tender. you have a haircut-hic-a massage, a singe, or a tonic? wouldn't you like anything else?" I would like to escape with my life." The moral is that all barbers are not alike, and this brings me to my subject, which is PAN-TEXAS OIL REFINING COMPANY, and to show you that all stock companies are not alike and that all companies are not organized for promotion instead of production.

The PAN-TEXAS OIL REFINING COMPANY was organized for the production and refining of crude oil, and its primary purpose is to make money for the stockholders. It was organized men of integrity and ability. It owns leases on four valuable pieces of acreage in four fields. This acreage was ju- THE RAZOR. diciously selected for the purpose of drilling for oil, and selected in such a manner that other development should increase their value.

Three of these leases in proven fields, and we have every reason to believe that we shall get oil on them. These leases were transferred to the company at $28,700, which is their actual market value or less. In fact, I consider that they are worth about twice now. The company was capitalized at $125,000, with a par of $10 per share and non-assessable. Realizing that in the past various wild promotion schemes had been palmed off on the people who spent their money in good faith, I decided to organize a company that would stand the searchlight of the most rigid examination, a company wherein the large stockholder and the small would share equally alike in accordance with the amount of stock they held; a company where you would get a good, clean, honest run for your money, with every reasonable assurance of sucecss, and the PAN-TEXAS OIL REFINING COMPANY is the result of my efforts.

We want you to investigate it, and in order for you to do so wil show you how the promoters of 8o-caled oil companies usualy make their money and where our company is different. Two ways often resorted to is that. the promoters often transfer their acreage to the company at several times what it is actually worth, and reap a rich harvest in this manner. Then they make their sole contract with the stockholder to consist of their drilling one or more wells a given depth. They sell stock for and set aside an excessive amount of money for this purpose.

Then when the wells are down as far as agreed their contract with the stockholders is fulfilled and the surplus money reverts to the prom moters. Now we are going to show you how the PAN-TEXAS OIL REFINING COMPANY is diferent. First, the acreage is sold to the company at its actual market value or less. There is no chance there. for the promoters to reap an unreasonable profit at the expense of the stockholder.

Second, we agree that all the money secured from sale of stock shall be used for the developments, of their to. pay acreage, for the exleases and the cost of selling stock, etc. and that not dollar reverts the promoter. We should have enough money to drill three wells, and it shall be used for this purpose. The President and Treasurer and the Secretary are bonded by the American Surety Company.

(Besides this being your protection as to the funds, first-class companies do not issue bonds to people who fail to have a reputation for honesty.) Dividends. As to dividends, we agree that at least half the net proceeds from production shall be paid the stockholders as dividends and that the balance shall be judiciously used for further development and expansion. This should insure good dividends as well as constant growth. We have endeavored to make this company one of the best ever offered the public, and with your help we should be able to do so. We invite suggestion and criticism.

If you can offer a better policy or a fairer one we shall gladly consider it. You now have a chance to get value for your money, and this is somewhat unusual in stock companies. The people are awaking up to this FACT and we believe that this stock will soon be sold: So if you believe in us act now. Drop in our offices at 309 DONAGHEY BUILDING and let us talk it over before it is too late. If this is not convenient fill out Coupon, attach remittanec and mail to me at once.

Seward, Alaska, April of the recent rebuffs given the classics at Princeton, where Greek i is no longer required for a degree, at Yale, where both Greek and Latin have been laid on the shelf of non-essentials, the Classical Association of New England is quite definite in its assertion that the "dead languages" are very much alive. The annual convention of the association has just been held at Wheaton College, at Norton, and was attended by more than 125 teachers of the classics, and enlivened by some spirited speeches on recent tendencies in education. "We may confidently defend the thesis that Latin and Greek are not dead," said Dr. Samuel V.

Coal, president of the association. "The life and thought of the ancient world are dynamically present in the life and thought of today-in our language and literature, in our philosophy and education, in our art and architecture, in our customs and laws. The people of ancient Rome were human beings like ourselves. Horace had the wit and social power of an Oliver Wendell Holmes; Virgil, a Tennysonian temperament; Cicero, the culture and breadth of interests characteristic of a Gladstone or a Henry Cabot Lodge, and Caesar showed the enterprise, courand mental energy of a Rooseveltfor whatever he may have written in his diary he never fought his battles or lived his life in the subjunctive mode and the indirect discourse.

FLIERS HOPE TO "HOP OFF" SOON St. Johns, N. April conditions favorable for flying prevailed here today.

Captain Frederick P. Raynham, British aviator, and Harry G. Hawker, his Australian rival for transAtlantic flight honors, looked to incoming weather reports for word as to whether the "aerial breakers" over the ocean would permit them to "hop off" soon. Raynham was preparing early in the day to make the most of the local atmospheric clearing by a trial flight which could be held without loss of advantage while Hawker was awaiting trans-Atlantic reports After yesterday's snowfall a thaw set in today and softened the ground, but Raynham said he beheved be could run his machine along road without damaging the plane. Hawker conceded that the soggy ground at the Mount Pearl plateau tended to interfere with a successful "take-off." Church, England, April Major J.

Persons who were "wise" trode softly through the rooms and corridors of the lower floor at the eity ball Thursday morning, and.

it was noticeable that most of them studiously avoided the vicinity of or the entering of the office of. Secretary Crow, who at present is acting chief of police, unless they were called there on urgent business, and even then they made no effort to conceal their reluctance in being called on to enter. The reason was that there reposed on a shelf, wrapped in paper, a dozen sticks of dynamite, and the report, which was true, had spread through the building, that in the case which Mr. Crow uses for the keeping of important documents and valuables there were two four ounce bottles which contained a colorless and odorless liquid that had all the marks of and was believed to be nitroglycerine, commonly known as "soup" by men whose business it is to open safes after business hours. Altogether there, was sufficient amount of explosives in the room to have so thoroughly scattered the city hall that.

no portion of it that could have been recognized would ever be found, and it was for that reason that the usual habitues of the building were not in the least anxious to remain within its walls for a longer period than was absolutely necessary. The dynamite and "soup" were found in the possession of four men, who were found in a box car in the railroad FAIL TO IMPEACH IOWA GOVERNOR Des Moines, April to impeach Gov. W. L.
