EL DORADO EXPECTS
THREE NEW WELLS
Interest Has Shifted From Busej
Gusher To New Holes Being Rap
idly Drilled—Little Information.
mmS1 Dorado, Jan. 17.—The White
Daniels and Sloan wells are the nexl
places where the spotlight of oi
■razed El Dorado will play. These wells
are rapidly approaching an oil depth
and it is expected that any one oi
these will be spudded in soon. Very
little information is given out con
cerning the bringing in of any of
these wells but all are watching the
operations with a great deal of inter
est.
Mattox and Hinton, original pur
chasers of the tract upon which the
Busey well is located own 230 acres
of the original tract purchased flora
Mr. Armstrong. These sen are erect
ing a derrick on the forty acres direct
ly north of the Busey well are and
are preparing to spud in soon.
, City realty is in demand more for
business purposes than for dialling
operations. Men are seeking home;
and sites for business openings. Drug
stores and mercanCIa companies ate
being offered fabulous sums for
pieces and new streets are being laid
off, possession of which is a coldest
for the ground floor p xitions. Sever
al wells will probahly oe drilled in
town and more within the city limits
Transient guests and newspaper
men are to be seen constantly edging
in and about the crowds, listening to
the talk, which is almost entirely up
on leases and prospective wells. Rec
ords and measurements are filed by
the hundreds at the court house and
the clerk is constantly directing ;
stream of customers through his
doors.
THAT DULL ACHING.
Don’t worry and complain about a
bad back. Get rid of it! For weak
kidneys, lame and achy backs, your
neighbors recommend Doan’s Kidney
Pills, Ask your neighbors. Read this
statement:
Mrs. C. R. Conn, Algoa, Ark., says:
“I was bothered for six weeks or more
with a constant dull ache in the small
of my back. I was tired, mornings,
when I first got up, and didn’t have
much ambition. After the least exer
tion I was told to take Doan’s Kidney
Pills I got some and the first box
greatly benefitted me, and before long
they rid me of kidney trouble.”
FIVE YEARS LATER. Mrs. Conn
said: “My cure has lasted. I can do a
day’s washing as well as ever. I owe
my good health to Doan’s Kidney
Pills.’

Wilson’s part in the i'^ttpara^ohi
will be dramatic. How go
in observing- the traditional #tend.
ance of the' retiring president lit the
ceremonies, a custom begun when
Washington went to the old state
house at Philadelphia with John
Adams? Secretary Tumulty has said
that Mr. Wilson at least will accom
pany Mr. Harding to the capitol.
No one expects that President Wil
son will break his long seclusion by'
appearing in any great prominence
Even if the question d^his physical
endurance was not to be considered,
it is not his nature to lend himself
readily to superficial magnanimity
Inherently he is not adaptable to a
great public demonstration. He does
not “show” well. When heAccom"
panies Senator Harding down Penns
ylvania Avenue to the east porch of
the capitol, he will sit erect and un
compromising, his shoulders stiff, his
head set squarely with the poise of
one who unbends with difficulty
which is the position he takes when
he starts off for his daily ride arourd
Washington. The outward difference
of the President was lamented by
Secretary Tumulty one .night recently
when he told a little audience of a con
versation with his chief.
“Tumulty,” the President said
‘you must realize that l ar.i not built
for these things. I don’t want to be
displayed before the public. If I tried
t<> ao it, I would do it bad'y.”
But President Wilson’s abandon
ment of some of the \)>mp of the
presidential nfl'.ce has established f
pi tcedent in the minds of the public
sti'.ug enough to bring pressure to
near upon Republicans and cause
them to capitulate in, favor of s'm
pier i\rt s And the acti; : of Sen at v
Harding himself in requesting the
elimination of display now has driven
the idea of curtailment, into the con
sciousness of all classes of the *con
stitution. Simplicity hereafter cannat
be exclusively the property of Jeffer
sonian democrats. Nor will it be
easy for Republicans to succee I them
selves with pomp.
There is, however, a great differ
ence in the simplicity of the incoming
and retiring president this year.
Senator Harding’s appears to be the
simplicity of military. That of Presi
dent Wilson would seem to come from
aloofness. Harding in truth more
nearly approaches in character the
homeliness of Jefferson who walked
from his boarding house on New Jer
sey Avenue, took the oath of office at
the capitol, and walked back to sit
at the dinner table with congressmen j
and other fellow boarders. But Presi
dent Wilson, undoubtedly at great
personal effort, has signified his in
tention to pay his respects to his suc
cessor—and when he stands behind
President-Elect Harding, the proxim
ity will represent much more than the
juxtaposition of two presidents. The
two figures, side by side, this time
will be symbolic to a dramatic degi’ee,
Senator Harding gained his peace af
ter and nearly all of the physical
strength of his predecessor at a time
when the contest had world signifi
cance. No greater moving picture as
American politics will be posed than
the appearance of these two men
standing together on March 4.

inundated the country last spring
and the public, overburdened by ex
cessive prices, refused to stand the
gaff any longer and started its “buy
ing strike.”
With consumers refusing to con
sume and prices dropping, orders
were canceled down the line until the
mills closed down. They have been
slowly starting up, here and there
on part time for a month or so past,
but last week sew a pronounced re
vival.
.Lvew l^onaon, bt., reported a general
reopening of its factories, mostly on
full time. Philadelphia reported its
textile mills were resuming, most of
them at full time. At Fall River,
Mass., 5,000 workers went back to
the looms, and the resumption
throughout New England was re
ported quite general. At Altoona,
Pa., the silk mills reopened at 50 per
e#nt capacity: at Asheville, N. C.,
cotton mills employing 5,000 went to
(full time; at Lafayette, Ga., cotton
mills reopened at full time; at Bidde
ford, Me., mills with 6,000 workers
went to four days’ operation a week
where they had been running three, 'll
Similiar reports might be multi
plied from nearly all textile comthun
ities. With the resumption there
were wage cuts of 15 to 25 perr cent.
In the New England mills the gener
al cut was 22 1-2 per cent, and the
United Textile Workers have asked
Congress to investigate, arguing that
the manufacturers acted in concert
and by prearrangement. v
What started the fabric factories
going, however, was the fact that the
garment trade came to the conclusion
that prices of cloth at the mills had
about reached a stabilized price lev
el. As pointed. out two or three
weeks ago, this led to the placing of
spring orders and an abatement of
the cancellation fever. Then the mills
started; up, and the caves of indus-*
trial gloom in the mill cities, nf
East got the sun. It all hammers
home the idea that the faster the
industries get prices down to a
“stabilized” level, the quicker will
resumption ensue.
In the automotive cities, factories
are slowly starting up. Many of the
reopening3 at New Year’s indicated
little or nothing, because many shops
of various sorts closed down for a
week or two at Christmas time for
inventory and repairs. But in the
last week or so, several plants have
reported a real quickening of activi
ties.
Its slow but gradual—Detroit still
reports some 100,000 unemployed—
bul^ the automobile business looks for i
a lar^ resumption within a few |
weeks, and by February or March
manufacturers expect factories to be
bitting a good speed. They "WiP
