word for the company to your neighbor
or friend and buy Uncle Sam oil If there
Is a distributing station in your county,
and II there Is not one, 1t Will be but a
matter of few months until there will
be. A maximum freight rate law should
be passed covering all commodities-if we
all pull together 1t can be done with ease
Organization is all that is needed-men
who viii act quick and results can be ac-
complished in less than three hours-the
time it took by the watch last week to
force the railroads to be good again. The
Uncle Sam company right now has over
TWO THOUSAND stockholders in Kan
sas-they are as loyal crowd as ever
followed any flag and If you wish to help
increase this army to 5000 in Kansas now
is the time for you to act for the company
can only accept certain number more
of shareholders until the stock will all be
placed and it is now selling more rapidly
than ever Hundreds have paid what you
are asked to pay in this announcement.
If you have 500 to 81, O00 to invest you can
not And a better investment in the cen
trail west, as this stock is certain to go
at least 50 cents per share. There is only
one way to meet the DIRTY MILLIONS
of the oil trust, and that is with men.
With 1900 stockholders in Kansas thor
oughly organized and working in conjunc-
ton with other Independent organizations
an election can be turned in Kansas on a
very few hours notice provided traitors

get in the fight to a finish for a square
deal in Kansas for all time to come and
at the same time make some revenue be-
sides by keeping some of the immense
dividends extorted by the OIL trust by
keeping profits at home. The oil trust
paid over TWENTY-FIVE MILLION
DOLLARS in dividends last year. Uncle

for SIX CENTS (6) per barrel This
would be a saving of over FIFTY CENTS

the railroads should any time be allowed
to confiscate oil properties by the state

company offers not only every chance to
investors to hold their own railroad rates

you must realize that there are great

Gle Sam is winning the day and is q des-
tined winner and you would just as well

DIVIDENDS CON1R1ENCE JUNE 20 1900

They started Something That the
Lovers Of a Square Deal in Kansas
win Finish.
Last week when a wen known oil trust
attorney appeared at the capital OF kan
cas- evidently much worried over the way
the independent rehuerfes OF Kansas are
scooping the trade away from the trust.
orders were given to help the trust out
and Of course the attack was made to
make the independent rehneries pay a big
freight rate so the oil trust could suck
their life blood away in secret rebates.
The orders were given all right, but it
did not take over three hours until Kan
sas was awakening from from border to
border At midnight Uncle Sam men
commenced work and preparations We're
speedily arranged to petition the entire
state i'm three days. Telegraphs and tel
ephones were soon in action and the way
the line up for battle was prepared soon
brought results. The railroads found out
they had stirred up a hornets nest with
the chances good for the hottest fight
ever waged in Kansas and in less time
than it took to give out the blur inter-
views at Topeka. which were hurled all
over the land by the Associated Press and
other press services how the independent
the railroads commenced to back up and
anyone familiar with the press dispatches
Of the last three days has noticed what
graceful crow eaters some of these peo-
pie are. Like an April shower, it's all
- over but it was bad looking cloud at
first, and something the independent men
in the state viii commence preparing for
from now on with renewed determine ton.
Organizations viii be formed in every
township in Kansas The plans of the
Uncle Sam company will be carried out
Just as they were advertised a year ago.
This company wants more voters in Kan
sas, wants enough men in the state so
that it can destroy any move to confscate
its property and do it quick. If you are
a wheat raiser. cattle man, a farmer or
merchant, your cause is our cause, and
you should get in line for this company
and against the giant Of criminal trust
even though you only take 100 shares at

There has been for months past a sys-
tematized game to blackmafl against the
Uncle Sam company. These blackmaiIers
send out advertisements and sneak them
into responsible newspapers by fraud, Of
fering Uncle Sam stock at a cut rate.
when the facts are that the party sign
ing the advertisement has no Uncle Sam
stock and can not procure a single share
under the market price. Besides this
there are certain brokers who. knowing
that Uncle Sam stock is prominent before
the public. place quotations in their lists.
when they do not have the stock and
could not fill order. but desire to Sc
cure inquiries of prospective purchasers.
when they Immediately make some false
excuses and try to load you up on some
wildcat stock that they are anxious to
get rid of. Sometimes these advertise
ments are signed from Cherryvale. when
in reality not a single share of Uncle sam
stock that is paid for or is legitimate
can be purchased at under the market
price. Don't let these blackmailers beat
you out of your money, or delay until

Uncle Sam Simply Going to Have the

Uncle Sam Simply Going TO Have the
Oil Trade of Kansas.
Everybody knows the stand Kansas has
taken for square deal for the oil fields.
Go where you please in the United States,
and the average man has words of praise
for the way Kansas let the oil trust know
that law and order and justice stin hold
forth in the Sunflower state. Now nine
tenths of the people of the state were
willing that the state should even build
a state refinery, and voted bonds to do it
with. However, the average Kansan is
going to be satisfied now if the Uncle
Sam company supplies the state. Now II
you are a Kansan and wish to be able to
make a proud report of your state, get
your shoulder to the wheel and do a lit
tie talking for the Uncle Sam and take
some of the stock, if you only put in 50.
$50 or $780, but help out and you will be
surprised in how short time Uncle Sam
will patrol the entire state. 1t is not the
purpose Of this company. nor its manage
T1ent, to try and run anybody out of bus
mess, nor to assume that It can buck the
dirty millions of the oil trust. but we do
know that we can and will secure the oil
business of Kansas with but very little
more help from KanSans. and that by at
tending to our own business the oil trust
will soon have none to attend to in Kan
sas Now. If you wish to help this COM
