manipulate the property, BY getting ii
into the courts, stopping production,
or in some one Of a thousand ways
making it practically worthless. that
the property is sold under foreclosure
at nominal sum. The insiders are
the only ones who know If it has any
real value, and they buy it in. reor-
ganize, squeeze all the old stockhold-
ers out. Then they develop the prop
erty and make it really productive,
productive enough to make the stock
sell for a good round sum. Then they
decide for themselves which is more
profitable, to work the property or the
stockholders. If the latter the skin
game is worked over again. This has
been done with the same property in
the past forty years two and three times
over. They know that crop Of suck
ers is saving money and coming Of age
every year,
Oil prospecting is going on in sew
eral localities in the state. Il is posi-
bic that somewhere oil will be en-
countered in paying quantities. Blu,
only those on the inside and the news
papers that get well paid for oil stock
advertising Will make money out Of it.
Those who bought oil stock for five
and ten cents per share stand abou, as
much show Of making a profit OF their
invessmen. as the man who bought
stock il the company that proposed TO
milk the moon and make green cheese.
The stock sellers tell you that the
money raised from the sale of stock
is to be used TO develop the
property. The amount Of money
raised from the sale Of stock that
goes into the company for devet
opment purpose is usually so small as
to be negligible. A stock seller once
got confidential with the writer Of these
lines and told him the stock he was
selling for so cents per share was all
profit but IA cents. When told he
had a pretty good thing he said, yes
if I got all Of the 477s cents, bu,
have 10 divide with the insiders.
They gave me contract to sell mil
lion shares for IA cents per share;
my profit to come out Of all got over
ia cea,s, with a private agreement to
divide the net proceeds with those who
gave me the contract"
In this instance the sucker was pay
ing so cents per share for stock, al
cents Of which went into the treasury
Of the company while the balance went
to the stock seller and the insiders.
Can't you see how the promoter always
makes money. Whether the property
IS good or bad makes no difference to
him. A careful investigation shows
that less than one in one million Of
those who inves, in stocks Of one kind
and another ever get one penny in
return. There is Just one sure. safe
way to profit by buying stock. Deter
mine the amount you want or are able
to pay for. then get the largest check
you can find (shis is impor,ansl and
draw it agains, your account for the
amount you agreed to pay for the
stock and suck it in the stove. You
viii then get the benefit Of the heat

combustion. which IS more than you
vii get from the stock tia. IS issued

Oil excitement in western Washing
ton is resulting in demands for leases
Of state lands, for drilling purposes. Tor
miles in every direction from the Te-
nino fields, which now are the center
Of operations. Oil promoters are now
seeking drilling rights on state lands
already leased for agricultural pur-
poses, as the state, in leasing or selling
agricultural lands, always reserves its
oil and other mineral rights.
