Say, Mr.. Farmer!

Never before in the history Of our
country has there been a time when
scientific farming received more at
tention than it is receiving at the
present time. 1t behooves every man
selecting farming as an occupation to
avail himself of every opportunity to
keep abreast of the time. 1t is also
necessary for his wife to know the
Inns and outs" of her department-the
home-in order that both may work
Systematically. 1t is every mans
duty to post HRS elf in all the differ
he must have the right kind of litera-
ture. His wife must also have some
thing for her department, and to
these ends the Texas Farmer, a week
ly farm journal, stands without peer.
This journal should go into every far
mers home every week. For the pur-
pose of putting it there we are going
to make an unheard of offer, an offer
that will not hold good after October 1
because the price and what we offer is
too ridiculously low for us to continue
it and make good.
We will send the Texas Farmer and
the National Home Journal, both, one
year for 95 cents; the publishers price
being $3.50. AS an inducement for you
to hurry in your subscription we will
give to each of the first 1000 sub
scribers one share in we'll we are
going to bore for oil in an oil district
on on 1000 acre lease. If we get oil,
both the lease and the well will belong
absolutely to these 1000 subscribers
and will mean at least one or two
thousand dollars to each of them.
If the oil is found to exist in paying
quantities company will then be or
to pay in $11 more. One Of which is
to go to us for our part in carrying
the proposition through to a success
full issue, and the other ten is to SO
into the treasury of the new COM
pany' for developing purposes; in other
words, to bore more wells on the lease
and conduct the business of the COM
pany in general. The well does not
cost lle subscribers one cent. We are
depositing with the First State Bank
of Dallas, to the credit of trustee, IS
cents out of the amount received from
every subscriber for the purpose of
boring the well. If we get oil, and
we are going to bore in an oil district,
each subscribers share will be worth
one or two thousand dollars and he
will not then mind paying in the
other $11 which will develop it and
make it worth much more to him.
REMEMBER, WE ARE AFTER
THESE 1000 SUBSCRIBERS AND
WANT THEM WITHIN THE NEXT
SIXTY DAYS and will send these
papers at this price until November 1
in effort to get them by that time if
possible. Don't lose any time study
ing over the matter, as the we'll does
not cost you one cent unless we get
oil, and If We do strike it just $11 ia
all it will cost you afterward. Only
one share is allowed to one person,
which makes it square DEAF for all
alike. Hurry in your subscription to-
day and both the papers will be sent

MYSTERY IN STEAMERS FATE
LIFE BELTS MARKED rs. S
STANLEY" DRIFT ASHORE.
Suggest Theory That 500 City May
Have Been Sunk in Collision.
No Bodies Found,

NORTH SYDNEY, Cape Breton, De-
cember 1.-The mystery surrounding the
fate of the steamer 500 City. bound from
Chicago for Texas, was intensified today
by the finding of a number of life belts
at Cape Ray bearing the name rs. S.
Stanley" The life belts drifted ashore
with similar ones marked 500 City"
and this circumstance has led to the
theory that the lake boat was possibly
sunk IL collision
1t is also suggested that the life belts
marked IS. S. Stanley may have been
purchased at second hand by the owners
of the 500 City when she was carrying
eXcursionists on Lake Michigan.
The only steamer named Stanley in
Canadian waters is the government ice
breaking boat which runs between Char
Pictou. Novia Scotia. That vessel is now
in Charlottetown harbor. Small quaint
ties of wreckage continued to drift ashore
at Cape Ray. No bodies have been
found.
An examination of wreckage does not
satisfactorily indicate the probable time
the 500 City went down If she was
sunk in collision IL is probable that the
disaster occurred within three four
days after she left Quebec on Novem-
Der H.
Had she remained atioat ten days after
her departure she could have reached her
destination. or touched at some Nova
Scotia point for coal If she was lost
in this weeks storm she must have been
seriously injured some days previously

OIL TANK EXPLODES.
Harbor Surface in Flames and
$4,000 Damage Done.

BAYONNE, y. j., December 1.-The ex-
plosion of Il 75,O00-gallon oil tank Of the
Eagle Oil Works Company, a subsidiary
of the Standard Oil Company of New Jer-
sey, at Caven Point, y. j.. early today
and the efforts of the Eagle Company's
forces TO fight the spectacular contla sra-
ton that ensued kept the entire vicinity
population in state of ferment until a
late hour. when the flames were finally
brought under control.
The fact that no fewer than fifteen
other oil tanks were within striking dis
lance OF the burning one served not d lit
tie to feed the uneasiness of the house
holders.
The burning oil found an outlet into
the waters of the bay. The spectacle OF
the blazing harbor surface held hundreds
rooted TO the spot for hours.
Thanks to a favoring wind which blew
the smoke and flames into the bay and
away from the neighboring oil tanks the
forces of the Eagle Company were able to
cope with the fire without outside assist
ance. The loss is estimated at $4,000.
