by J. H. Sears Co,, is considered
by political experts who have read
advance copies as certain to start a
nationwide controversy among club
women and feminists and between
“advanced” women and conservative
men. Mrs. Davis will thrive on the
light. Behind this red-headed and
vivid newspaper and magazine
writer, born on a ranch in Bosque
county, Texas, is a line of pioneer
ancestors who fought redcoats at

State to Texas, the Union Army,
carpetbaggers and cattle thieves.
Graduated from Baylor College in
1913, teacher of history in high
schools at Bonham, Arlington, and
Cleburne for four years, Clare Ogden
realized her ambition to be a news-
paper writer by joining the Fort
Worth Bureau of the Dallas News
in 1917. She was star reporter of
the Fort Worth Record for two
years. In 1920 she was married to
Burton Davis, newspaper man. She
became the first woman staff cor-
respondent of the Dallas and Gal-
veston News, working out of their
Houston bureau in 1922-24 and was a
special writer for the Houston
Chronicle in 1925-20, until she went
to New York with her husband. Her
exploits as a reporter working on
difficult and dangerous assignments
are still talked about among Texas
newspaper men. Since 1926 she has
been a magazine and syndicate writ-
er in New York. "The Woman of
It” is her first novel.

| Poorest cotton crops in
the history of the county, according
to present prospects,” stated John
M. Weed to Reporterman Monday.
Mr. Weed had Just returned from
a vacation trip to Corpus Christi,
and observed conditions closely while
in that section. "I passed 15 gins
Saturday in Nueces county," Weed
continued, "and none of them were
fired up, and usually the gins are
all busy down there at this time of
year. The fields are full of fine
cotton plants—with no fruit on
them. Continued rains have been
all to the advantage of the boll
weevil, and farmers and business
men alike are very much disturbed.
However, the more optimistic say
that with hot, dry weather from now
on, and with a normal top crop
Nueces county may still retain her
place near the top in cotton pro-
duction.
Continuing his remarks, Mr Weed
stated that never since he has been
In Milam county has he seen a bet-
ter crop prospect In the sandy land
section southwest of Rockdale and
immediately contiguous to the San-
daw Lignite Company’s property of
which he is manager. "Both cotton
and corn are good, and crops gener-
ally above the average,” was the way
Weed sized up the situation.
Reporterman calls attention to
the news story elsewhere on this
page relative to school transfers.
Each year there are a large num-
ber of children who wish to attend
school in some district other than
the one in which they were enrolled.
When a child Is enrolled in a cer-
tain district, that child’s pro rata
share of the State school money is
allotted to that district. The law
provides, however, that the child
may go to school in some other dis-
trict and the money transferred to
that school, but such transfers must
be made not later than July 31st,
Parents having such transfers in
mind should attend to the matter at
once. Judge Ed Gunn, member of
the Rockdale School Board, is kind-
ly handling the transfers for the
local school, and has a supply of the
necessary blanks at his office.

The Central Texas celebration of
the World War and Legion men,
led by their State Commander,
Rufus Scott, Jr, was held in Camer-
on Thursday, July 11, under the
auspices of Edwin Hardy Post No,
9, which served a barbecue at the
City Park at G o’clock In the after-
noon.
An interesting speaking program
was given at the Park following the
barbecue.
There was a ball game at Lawless
Green field at 4 o’clock, followed
by an automobile parade when all
clubs In Cameron were invited to
take part.. There were many cars
driven by auto dealers, and a float
representing Red Cross nurses,was
featured by W. R. Hoover, secre-
tary of the Chamber of Commerce.
One of the most attractive floats in
the parade was an International
Truck-Trailer decorated in the Na-
tional colors by the Business and
Professional Women’s Club of Cam-
eron, with the members of the club
riding, facing the queen, Miss
Kathcryne Lovick, who had been i

day, July 26, when the "Doughboys'

esies.
Van L. Perkins had charge of the
barbecue, and was assisted by the
members of the B. & P. W. Club.
In the evening an official pro-
gram was given. Veteran James
Baskin introduced the speakers.
Congressman Luther Johnson was
the speaker of the occasion, and

Judge Kemp Returns
From Vacation Tour
Cameron, Texas, July 15.—Judge
and Mrs. Jeff T. Kemp and daugh-
ter, Ruth, returned Saturday night
from a three week's tour of the
United States, which included 18
states and a part of Canada. Places
of interest were visited and stops
were made in the homes of friends
and relatives in New York, Chicago,
Vicksburg, Jackson and other cities
along their way. Miss Rosalie Bas-
kin accompanied this party as far
as Washington, D. C.
Whether Rockdale and its immediate territory iwhich includes
Cameron and other towns in Milam county.) shall have an hon-
est-to-goodness test for deep oil in the near and profitable future,
seems now to be put squarely**tp the citizens of Rockdale, Camer-
on, Thorndale, Milano and the other sections of the territory that
will be advantageously affected by the drilling-in of a deep oil well
in the Edwards lime, which is now definitely and positively known
to underlie this land.
There is accumulated and convincing evidence, which has grown
in volume as the years have gone by since 1925, at the time of the
Magnolia fiasco, to prove that none of the so-called 'Major" oil
companies that have operated in Milam county from time to time,
have any Intention or desire to drill a well in what has become
known and accepted as "likely" territory. Which means in, over,
or close by the Rockdale-Minerva shallow oil field; at the same
time some of these great organizations hnve steadily added to their
lease and oil right holdings while maintaining this "hold-off”
attitude as to actual drilling in favorable territory. These facts
are of record: they are indisputable evidence in themselves, and
should be convincing to the most obstinate doubting Thomas.
Added to these facts, is that of a conversation reported to have
been held quite recently, by a Milam county operator, with the
executive head of the land and lease department of one of those
"Major” companies. He is reported to have said to the Milam
county man:
“No, sir; this company will not contribute a dollar toward drill-
ing a deep test in the shallow field section; and to be perfectly
frank with you, we shall oppose it being drilled. We are not ready
for the field to be brought in; it would cost this company a whole
lot of money, and we are not now' In position to meet the costly
competition that would follow. Neither do we desire to be forced
to put out a large amount of money now for costly storage, new
pipe lines, etc., as we feel certain that a producer of some volume
would be brought in, were a well put down In or near the shallow
field.”
This, given as briefly and understanding^ as possible, sums up
the situation as it stands. If Milam county is going to get Its deep
oil field developed any way soon, so that those of us who are In
the granddaddy class will derive any financial benefit from it, it
is quite plain that Milam county citizens arc going to have to pu'
up the money to dig the first hole and "bring in" the field, ns the
oil company executive has frankly said he was certain it would be
brought In.
Now, then, a proposition is before the people of Milam county
which affords all an opportunity to help drill a test well.
Messrs. Ed Hewitt, well known to all, and L. Carrington, local
manager of the Texas Petroleum Development Company, have
been at work for several weeks on a plan to get a deep test drilled
With $6,000 cash put in bank by the Texas Petroleum Develop-
ment Company, local subscriptions have been received which bring
the total available cash drilling fund up to $8.65<>.
It Is necessary to have not less than $12,000 in hand to Insure the
well being drilled to the Edwards Lime.
The location has been made for the test on the Milton Phillips
land about three miles north of Rockdale and Inside the proved
shallow field. This is considered good territory, and seems to meet
with the approval of the majority.
It is needless to call attention to the great and almost incalcu-
lable financial benefit that would lollow for Milam county in the
event of a producer being drilled. All know that It would come
quickly. Deep oil brings in the millions, always. It always has.
Texas Petroleum Development Co. has placed an amount of Its
own stock in Carrington’s hands to be sold In Milam county, the
money from sale of the stock to be applied to drilling the Hewltt-
Phillips deep test. It will take but a little more than $3,000 now to
insure the well being drilled.
One hundred persons subscribing for $30 each of the stock, will
raise the $3,000. Fifty persons taking $60 each, will raise the nec-
essary $3,000.
Texas Petroleum Development Company hnd an average dally
production of 66 barrels a day, the first three months of 1929. This
aggregated 4,440 barrels for the quarter, which sold for $5,517.
The company has 420 acres of producing leases. The stock, It
would seem from these facts, is worth par and better.
It would seem to The Reporter that this Hewitt-Phillips propo-
sition affords Milam county the opportunity to get the long-talked
about, long-hoped for genuine deep test put down to the Edwards
Lime.
The proposition appeals to The Reporter as being legitimate,
honest, and certainly well-intentioned on the part of the operators
who have been working on it. And if Milam county is to get a
genuine deep test put down within the coming decade, this seems
to be the opportunity. It Is now squarely up to the people.

Rev. W. G. Jackson, of Rockdale,
pastor of t lie Mt. Zion and Har-
mony Baptist churches, recently at-
tended a family reunion at Lorneta,
Texas, on the occasion of the 81st
birthday of his mother.
The Jackson family located in
Texas In 1853, being among tho
early pioneers. The honoree of this
reunion occasion has ninety direct
descendants—children, grandchild-
ren and great-grand children, and of
this number seventy were present.
An interesting comment is found in
the fact that of the seventy peoplo
present, fifty were members of tho
Baptist church, including seven
church deacons, and that none of
the seventy use tobacco in any form.
The following story of the reunion
is from the Lampasas Leader:

Carlisle Post, No. 358, American
Legion, at its regular monthly meet-
ing last Wednesday night, voted to
sponsor a “Yard Beautification"
contest for the ensuing year in
Rockdale, and the sum of $50 was
appropriated to be used as pre-
miums.
The contest starts right now and
tho prizes will be awarded next June,
the exact date to be announced in
due time.
It Is the hope of the Legion boys
that the local Bonehead Club, or
some other civic body will join them
in this contest and appropriate an
additional sum of money for the
purpose, and officers of Carlisle Post
stated Monday that they stand ready
to thus co-operate with any organ-
ization or grout) of citizens desir-
ous of participating In the contest.
The Legionaires make this an-
nouncement thus early in order that
all local citizens desiring to compete
for these prizes may have full op-
portunity at this time to shape up
their new terraces, acquired by rea-
son of the street paving program.
Many of these terraces will need
further fllling-in, dirt for which is
now easily available, and all such
property owners are urged to secure
this dirt, shape up their terraces,
and begin now to plan for beauti-
fying their premises.

The rural vote which began com-
ing in Wednesday after Tuesday's
election made inroads in the lead
established by the urban centers for
the two constitutional amendments
but returns tabulated by the Associ-
ated Press from more than 100 coun-
ties, cities and towns indicated
strongly that the amendments had
been authorized by the electorate.
Early returns, mostly from the
larger cities, showed a ratio of nearly
three to one in favor of the amend-
ments but as rural districts, especi-
ally those of the panhandle, the ma-
jority was cut to a little better than
two to one.
The last compilation approved the
measure to increase the salary of the
governor from $4,000 to $10,000 by
21,145 votes to 10,134 votes against;
tho amendment to add six more Jus-
tices to the state supreme court was
favorably reported by a vote of 21,-
670 to 9,757.
Should the official report confirm
the unofficial It would mark the end
of years of efforts to give the Texas
chief executive a salary increase.
Several previous attempts at the
polls were turned down. The mea-
sure, however, would not become
effective until 1931 or until after
the election of a new governor.

"I am operating the biggest drill-
ing rig in Texas." stated Dick Bart-
lett, local oil well driller, who :amc

Refining Company.
"We are now engaged in sinking
a 6,000-foot wildcat test three miles
from Humble," Bartlett continued,
"and after working with these Mil-
am county “coffee mills” that Hum-
ble Company rig almost scared me
when I first took charge of it.”
But Bartlett knows his stuff, and
is making good on the new Job, with
[ interest of many home owners in
! Rockdale who take pride in their
lawns and flower gardens.
Rockdale now has some mighty
pretty yards, and at the completion
of the contest next June the Judges
are going to find they have a real
assignment in the awarding of
prizes. One lawn that has attract-
ed particular attention this year is
that of Mrs. Ed Simms, who has a
collection of over thirty-one differ-
ent blooming plants. Flowers of
almost every description can be
found in the garden plot south of
the home, while every nook and cor-
ner is filled with some variety of
flower or fern.
This is only one of several pretty
yards in Rockdale, and when the
contest closes next June it is ex-
pected that every home owner in
the city will have a "yard beautiful."

“Power is supplied by three big

The election on the Constitutional
Amendments held in Rockdale Tues-
day was a quiet affair, both amend-
ments showing majorities "for."
Seventy-six votes were cast. Elec-
tion officers were J. Branch Lewis
and Mesdames G. M. Edmundson
and H. W. Perry.
The amendment relative to the
Supreme Court carried by a vote of
43 to 32. The amendment relative

of 40 to 35.
