HERE IT rs AGAIN!
That Same Old Rummage sale and
the Same Old story.

Newcastle, Ind, Jan. 6.-In search Of
bargains and wearing a new cloak. a
woman member of the Christian Church
visited the basement of the church, where
a rummage sale was being held. The
basement being warm, the woman di-
vested herself of her cloak and thought
lessly laid it on a counter that was cov-
cred with articles for sale
Another woman, a bargain hunter"
entered the room, and, seeing the nice
cloak on the counter, bought it for IS
cents from the inexperienced sales
woman and carried it away.
Half an hour later. when the careless
woman who laid the cloak among the
bargains was ready to go home. she
found it had disappeared. Then there
We're dismay and excitement in the
church. Some of the amateur sales
ladies" went skirmishing in a hurry, but
it required an hours time to find the
bargain" purchaser, make the necessary
explanation, and return the cloak to the
hysterical owner.

Any person desiring to invest as

par value of which is $25.oo per

basis, or $500 per share. Parties
taking a less amount may have the
same on a IS per cent basis, or
S.25 per share. Every share of
stock bought at the low price at
which it sells today is sure to rise
enormously in value and pay
steady dividends at such astonish-
ing rate of interest that even
small investment is likely to grow
to substantial fortune and make
the investor independent of all

Each one must decide this mat
ter for himself. The question
with YOU should be: Do you con-
slider this good investment? 1t is
not a mine that may or may not
contain the mineral you think it
does. This land lies in the proven
territory, around which are some
of the largest wells in the Mid
Continent oil field. and every cent
invested will go towards the fur
ther development of this tract of
land. The investor unfamiliar
with the inside workings Of larger
businesses often feel doubtful of
stock that sells below par, but there
is nothing unusual in that. All
fortunes are made by getting in at
the beginning, where money is
heeded and officers will give
bonus for ready cash. The history
Of all great railroads and other
corporations, and especially that of
the great standard Oil company
and the great Carnegie Steel COM
pany, proves this assertion. If you
are anxious to get anything you
must make every inducement. We
need this money to drill ten addi-
tional- wells, and when we have
sold enough stock to enable us to
drill these wells. the sale of stock
will stop or the stock will be OBJ

there would not be single man who
is Republican employed there.
They would not even keep a Repub-
lican janitor or spittoon cleaner
who voted the Republican ticket.
Why should Bixby fill up these good
places with these Democrats?
Only the other day Bixby gave
William Wisdom, bitter, uncom-
promising Democrat, a good position
at $125 month, simply because, as
We see it, Fent Wisdom was then
running the Phoenix and Bixby
wanted Fent to keep out Of the
Phoenix the result of the Foulke re-
port.
This ought not to be. Mr.. Magars,
who used to be the Democratic mayor
Of Eufaula. was also given a place
at $50 a month because Cliff Jack
son, who hates all Republicans,
wanted Him to have place. Tom
Lahay Is another Democrat getting
$125 month, and he is always
busy making Democratic speeches
and sitting up nights to hate the
Republicans. There are many 9TH
ers. There are plenty OF good Re-
Dublicans who can fill these places
and who would like to- have them.
but Bixby seems to want Democratic
support more than Republican sup
port.
We don't know why he does
this. He pretends TO be Republi-
can and last summer was a delegate
to the Republican convention and
tried 10 disrupt the Republican
party. The fellows who bolted the
Republican party and voted for Has
kell and run the Haskell campaign
did all in their power TO bring
about the Haskell gerrymander OF
all the legislative and judicial dis
tric,s. Is this light? Mr.. Republic
can, do YOU endorse this thing. The
boys in the trenches are against
these things and the men who do
them. How can you expect the Re-
publicans TO vote you in Office If you
trade the places 10 Democrats?
