To Investors;
war prices on oil may force crude
oil to soon sell at $500 per barrel. The
Uncle Sam oil Company, looking far
ahead. raised new capital and bought
up a big property In the Eastern Dis
trict Of the Great Gushing Oil field and
also secured another big lease across
the Arkansas River from the rich Bos
ton oil Pool.
This Company has three Refineries.
two OF which are connected with our
exempted pipe line ISL miles long, con-
Meeting these two refineries with 1lS OF
our 126 producing wells and the great
er percentage of our 1900 acres of deed
ed land and about ten thousand acres Of
oil and gas leases.
This Company has at least Two Hun
ured locations on proven grounds in
the high grade oil district that It
should drill at once.
TO start the balance Of 10 to 20 drills
The stockholders increased the capital
OF the company one-third and this
stock has been allotted ON a dividend
basis among the over 10000 stockhold-
ltal.
The Company expects to raise sew
eral million dollars from the new cap
ital and soon increase the crude oil
production to oyer ten thousand bar
rels per day. We are at work at this
hour on four different wells that may
increase cur production an additional
5000 to 10000 barrels per day. A visit
to the oil fields on our property VIII
convince you that we have properties
that can easily develop oil pools that
should pour out millions. Millions
have been made in Oil and millions will
be made in oil, but It takes lot of
capital to build up on big, substantial
basis.
The present stockholders would not
approve a sale now for our combined
properties, including good will and es-
tablished trade at less than Twenty

tells us and in His way is the sure
way to attain success.
God did not send an angel to revive
those dead which Ezekiel saw strewn
over that vast valley. He win not
send any angelic assistance TO do the
work He wants us to do. He has
given us the Word of the Lord, a
living, powerful force, and He has
given us the privilege of prayer Of
intercessary prayer. Thus lie puts
into our human hands all the equip
ment necessary for this great work
and He guarantees success if we but
follow His Instructions.
Fathers, mothers, who profess to be
followers of the Master, and who have
not tried to lead their loved ones to
Jesus, are like these dead members of
Ezekiel's church. God had to cheer
up and encourage the prophet Of old;
angels have been known to awaken,
arouse 20 action humans who should
be leading others to salvation.
We should tonight begin to pray for
our own awakening; for a revival Of
the Holy Spirit in us. Then we could
plead with the unsayed
in our own households. We should
tonight begin to pray as never before
for our lxith and kin, that they may
be brought to Jesus. If the Christians
Of Guthrie will right now get down on
their knees and pray to God as they
what an awakening Of the
spiritually dead we would witness
here.
This appeal brought the first real
earnest manifestation of repentance
seen since the meetings began, and
large number of men and women went
forward and took part in a most
solemn devotional ten minutes.

great production is assured.

barrel within few weeks. Under these
conditions this real oil stock will prob
vember third-if not all sold by that
