LAKE VIEW No. 2 OIL COMPANY

Grasp this opportunity before it is
too late A few dollars properly in
vested might put you on Easy Street.
Be a sport and take a chance If you
fail, go to it again. Wealthy people
were poor, but took a chance and
made good. Your timid men work for
salary and rent a house all their
lives. They lack nerve to assert them
selves. A trip to the Coast or an
auto ride would cover their savings
for a year The farmer takes a chance
when he plants; the ship may sink;
your house may burn down, but only
a coward loses courage.

ut is thought by oil men who have
visited the property that the company
is just over the main oil sand, and
that within the next few feet the well
will encounter a flow that will com
pare favorably with the new well of

way, the standard and other producers
of that locality.
"The fact that when the gas pres
sure in this well broke loose there
was over 1900 feet of water in the
hole, and before the shale could heave
up into the casing this whole column
of water had to be lifted by the gas
pressure, leads those who are keeping
close tab on conditions in this vicinity
to believe that something more than
common can be looked for when this
well penetrates to the main sand"
A deep well assures a big gusher for
years, as it drains the oil from the
upper levels. Lakeview No 1 stock

The price of Lakeview No. 2 is now

ing he retraced his steps and entered
the kitchen, ready for bed.
The farmers wife was alone, and
he stopped a moment to speak to her.
"a pretty maid that of yours" he
said carelessly. rs she a relation?"
Nay" replied Mrs. Hart slowly, and
with a certain hesitation. she's just
lass that's come to the place. She's
only been here a few weeks"
What is her name?" he inquired. q
mean, what am / to call her if I want
anything?"
Mrs Hart paused
There's other maids as will get you
what you want" she remarked after a
minute, but her name is Ellen if you
should want her,
He knocked the ashes from his pipe
and went to his room. Half an hour
later he was asleep.
He was early astir, but, early as he
was the girl was before him. He met
her coming from the fields with a pail
of milk. She put it down and bobbed
a curtsey.. Her dark eyes sought his
with a hint of mischief.
you've been milking, l see,' he
said with the air of one opening a
conversation.
She dropped another curtsey, slight
er than the first.
Eyes, sir" she SAID, lowering her
eyelashes a moment. IT'S pleasant
in the morning when the airs fresh"
Her vowels were little broadened,
but beyond this there was no trace Of
an accent
"If you only knew how pleasant it
isl he exclaimed. But you don't.
How should you? You are used to
country life. You can't feel the Won
derful restfulness of it, If you had
my work, you'd know"
Mrs. Hart was saying that you
were an actor gentleman" she an
swered, looking at him innocently.

you know what that means? 1t means
late hours and hard work in draughty
theatres. It means daubing your face
with grease, and making sham love to
women who daub theirs. It's interest
ing, of course, and I'm fond of it. But
it makes one appreciate the pleasures
of rest and the beauty of a complexio
like yours, my dear"
She gave him a quick glance from
her dark eyes, and then picked up her
pail
Il must be taking the milk in" she
said. Mrs. Hart will be waiting for
it."
She moved off.
"Ah, Ellen!" he called after her,
feeling a curious pleasure in the sound
of her name upon his lips.
She turned with a little look of
surprise.
Tell Mrs. Hart I should like
couple of eggs for my breakfast" he
said, hastily inVenting.
an see if the hens have laid" she
answered. She turned away, and walk
ed on, a curious little smile twitching
her lips.
Left alone, he scratched his chin
thoughtfully,
"This will never do" he said to
himself. She's really astonishingly
pretty. But a country girl? No, MOI"
He put in ten minutes making good
resolutions.
But he was to find, as others have
done before him, that it is one thing
to make good resolutions, and quite
another to keep them. AS the days
passed he saw more and more of the
pretty milkmaid And the more he

paused; paused to realize themselves
and their surroundings. She was the
first to recover herself. She broke
into little laugh.

loose folds of her dressing gown about

WELL" he exclaimed, clinging to
the window sill, why, with a voice
like yours you'd have no end of a fu-
ture on the stage. Did you ever think
of trying it?"
Before she could answer the sash
of an adjoining window was thrown
up and Farmer Hart put his head out.
The barrel of a gun shone clear in the
moonlight
"Hi!" he called out, what be goin'
on theer?"
THE DEVIL" exclaimed Sedley in
surprise. He let go his hold upon the
sill and dropped heavily to the
ground. Jumping to his feet, he was
off around the corner, but not before
he was recognized. He sought his
own rooms, and lay down to think
over the events of the evening" 1t was
long before sleep came to him.
If he had any doubts as to his
recognition, Mrs. Harris face at break
fast told him enough to set them at
rest. She said plainly, even as she
waited upon him, that hers was re-
spectacle house, and that she could
not have such "doings." He might
take himself off that very day.

and, hearing you were coming, she
took a fancy to play it before you.

Ten minutes later she came down.
She no longer wore the print frock,
but a travelling dress of light colored
cloth. She smiled at him good humor-
eddy.

at the farmers wife. 81 told her it

to think that that was any excuse"

FAVOR PROHIBITION

Messrs. Mustard and Royal, can
didates for the House and Senate,
have published their views en-. pro-
posed temperance legislation in Vir-
ginia at the next session of the legis-
lature. Their cards would indicate
that they favor statewide prohibition
as the only cure for the liquor evil,
and If such Legislation is proposed in
the general assembly their best eff
orts will be put firth to secure its
successful passage by that body and
the consequent submission to the vot-
ers of Virginia for final detel.ni-
nation.
The temperance. people G; the State
need men badly who are willing to
represent them in the Legislature.
MIR. Stode, one of the few out and
out advocates of prohibition, has been
defeated for the nomination in Am
herst district. and the temperance
people need live preventative in
the Legislature this winter. If any
legislation is desired
In the Arst place, Legislation in Vir-
ginia ia initiated by Democratic
caucus, which admits none except
those of that persuasion, and the
temperance people of Virginia have
enough of those gentlemen who will
vote for a statewide bill If the same
is brought up in the Legislature, but
have few of those who are willing
to risk the chances of election by adj
vocating and working for the bill
among the people.

Stuart for Governor

Now that the smoke of the recent
primary battle has cleared away, and
the results makes Democratic success
so sure in the November elections in
all parts of the State, our Roanoke
contemporary, the Times, has taken
up the fight for the election of Henry
Z. Stuart. of Russell, for Governor
of Virginia in 1912. In this the
Times may be assured of the united
support of the press of SouthwestVir-
ginia. and large part OF it in other
section for Stuart's popularity is by
no means confined to his own sec
tion, where he is the idol of the peo-
pie.
Stuart's career has been one of dis
tlnguished service to the Democratic
party, and his splendid fight to
wrest the Ninth District from Repub-
lican control is fresh in the minds of
the people of the State. He is a
strong, vigorous Democrat of the in
dependent type, and would make a
Governor of whom Virginia would
be proud.
We unite with the Times in hoping
that the candidacy of Lieutenant Gov
ernor Ellyson will not be pressed at
this time. Mr.. Elyson has rendered
faithful service to the Democratic
party but the revelations contained
in the Thompson letters made public
recently by VIM. A. Jones, would he
almost sure to create opposition to
Mr.. Ellyson from great number of
Democrats, and perhaps result in an
other campaign equaling in bitterness
That through which we have lust
passed. Henry C. Stuart is man
whom all Democrats could unite up-
on and his election would 90 far to-
ward healing the differences that
have recently been manifest within the
party.-Salem Times Register.
