save what you can from month 10

will multiply many fold The mill
lionaires of this section were laboring

Keep this object lesson in mind
The opportunities of that earlier time
were in coal, today greater opportun-

more concrete form and is rapidly
supplanting coal because it is easier
and cheaper TO mine and handle, and
is besides being a more economic
fuel for all large consumers. profit

oil OF California is furnishing that
state with cheap fuel. for the lack of

retarded. The entire Pacific coast
will consume oil as a fuel. SO that
the demand upon the oil fields of Cali
forna is unlimited. California oil
refners will hold the markets of the
far East and of the west coast of
South America. 1t is plain to be seen
that the oil fields of California will
be the source of incalcuiable wealth.
far beyond what the coal mines of
Pennsylvania have been in the past.
All thoughtful men can see that the
thing to do now to make money is
to buy the shares of conservative. re-

lands secured at low prices. and only
requiring development to become the
source of enormous revenues for
shareholders.

be cheap at 40c. but are selling for

The price is sure to advance rapidly
to keep pace with the developments
