Will Buy Thousands of Barrels Of
independent Oil.

While the Uncle Sam company will have
great production from its own or controlled
wells it will buy thousands of barrels from
independent. producers from all over the Kansas
and territory oil fields. For over $50 miles the
main trunk pipe line will extend through the
oil fields. At this very hour Uncle Sam
man is making arrangements to buy the oil
from certain Woodson county, Kansas producers
near LIE Roy, whom the oil trust has kept on
the black list from the start. Uncle Sam COM
pany is manned by Kansans who are working
with might and main to build up their enter
prise to where it can protect our home oil
fields and those of our neighbors from conisca-
tion by the New York oil trust anarchists who
have been practically stealing Kansas oil at the
beggarly sum of 80 cents per barrel while every
barrel of 1t has brought the trust not less than
81; still there is Topeka. Kan. press agent
and another at Independence, who is out on
bond. and few bribed newspapers in Kansas
and other hirelings that assume they make
the people believe their oil trust knocking lies

railroad fxers who are lust now incorporating

are traitors to true republicanisn and enemies.

Omaha alone great amount Of oil can be sold.
The oil trust railroads ask the prohibitive price
of LAO per barrel to carry barreled oil in car
load lots from Cherryvale to Omaha. When
completed the Uncle Sam company pump oil
over pipe lines from Cherryvale to Atchison for
not to exceed cents per barrel, and can barge
1t up the Missouri river for not to exceed 16
cents per barrel, easily save over $1.OO per
barrel; however, to be absolutely sure, we fig
ure on saving Of only 70 cents per barrel.
From the Neosho county oil fields the Uncle Sam
main trunk pipe line will have capacity of
over 1000 barrels daily by doubling up pumping
stations However, suppose the company works
up to capacity Of only 3,OO0-Three thousand
barrels daily-fgure for yourself what $2,750
net gain per day on freight alone and you will
realize that dividends on Uncle Sam stock is
not dream. but reality; $2,75O per day for
over 300 days out Of the year totals little
over 1925. 600, nearly 10 cents per share year
ly for the stock now selling at 20 cents per
share. Then remember that 800 miles to the
south the Uncle Sam flag will be found flying on
the banks of the Arkansas at Tulsa, I. T., where

Fifty More Distributing Stations

At'least fifty more distributing stations will
be installed in that many more trade centers
in the Missouri Valley states during the next
sixty days These stations will be located

where Uncle Sam sympathizers are thicker than
democrats in Arkansas. The company has had
no trouble to dispose of all the oil it has manu-
featured from the Cherryvale plant No at

money. With the river refinery in operation,
