The little squad of us leaped down

yelling. Already the smoke of the car

see little except in the flash OF the
guntire. The swirl OF bodies hurled
me to the right. away from where
Harwood stood, and brought me in
front of the opposite door. Through
this opening and the narrow window
beyond, got Il glimpse outside--at a
black mass of men sweeping straight
toward US, their guns cleaning
yieiously, their voices echoing in saw
internal vision and, almost at the same
iastant they came crashing against the
shattered door. beating it down with
their ggn-stocks. and leaping through
into the mage of overturned benches

able to this disease because of its root

dogs to lick their hands and face also

Prevention on the farm consists in
so restraining the dog that he cannot

should be boiled before being fed to
dogs and should never be thrown on

URGE KINDNESS TO ANIMALS
as % Why Cruelty Should
BE Avoided.

Here are some of the reasons why
we should do all we possibly can to
protect animals, says an exchange.
/. They are, humanly speaking,
dumb and defenseless
2. They are especially liable to
cruel treatment.
8. They are the victims of science
sport. fashion. ignorance and preju-
dice.
4. There Is so much suffering in
this world that we ought to do every
thing we can to lessen. and not to in
crease 1t.
8. It is cowardly and contemplate
to cause living, sentient creature I'M
necessary or avoidable suffering.
8. The animals do so much for us
in so many ways, ministering to our
needs. that they earn exemption for
heir various races from cruelty. suf-
fering and i'll treatment.
:. Selfish and callous disregard OF
their rights can only react disastrous
ly upon the moral nature OF the hu-
man family, aHd make other similar
evils appea. excusable. It is a short
step from cruelty to animals to cru
city to human beings. The parents
who truin their children to be kind
considerate and thoughtful for the ant
mails are laying UP treasures which
they themselves will reap when those
children are grown up.
8. AS Jeremy Bentham, the great
jurist. wrote II the clair1s OF animals:
The question is not-Can they rea-
son, nor can they talk but can they
suffar?'"

companies had better prospects to offer their stock
holders at the start, not of them made an offer
that will correspond to the ten-acre lease offer MADE
by the Northwestern Petroleum Company.
See for yourself what others have done-read
this list carefully think what your few dollars may
accomplish, then make arrangements to grab as
much of this stock you can-while there is still
time to get it. Look-here is what you have chance
to do.
A group of twelve men in Ardmore, formed a
small company to develop some leases in the Heald-
field during its early stages Each invested the
small sum of $175 and in less than two years each
received $50, 900 when the company sold out ITS
holdings to the Santa Fe railroad for cold million
dollars
1t is said that 500 invested in the Lucille Oil
Company became worth 5000; $3.50 in the Home
Oil Company brought back 100000; 500 in the
Pinal Oil Company grew to $4,000; $40O in the
Winchester Oil company brought back $33,OOO $Z5o
invested in the Central Oil company earned $45,OOO;
$500 invested in the John Winemiller Oil company
became worth $35OOO. Scores of such instances
could be cited perhaps hundreds of companies that
have paid 81, SIS $40 for heralded as

beautiful home; motor cars; travel, education and
countless pleasures of the wealthy You've heard OF
this mans big inheritance; of that mans lucky in

something big to come your way,-the opportunity
to make yourself independent wealthy in few
months time-hoped for the good fortune of quick
wealth. Do you know that just such opportunity
exists in Oklahoma oil today-that never before and
perhaps never again, will the man with few spare
dollars, have the chances that obtain in the lavish
outpourng of wealth which Oklahoma oil in its
prime represents.
That the Northwestern Petroleum company has
a great, big chance to accomplish these results for
YOU is evidenced by the way the big oil companies of
Oklahoma have been fighting for leases in this ter
rtory known the "Alva Anticline." The Gypsy,
Carter and Roxana people had representatives in the
field after the excitement started. Later, the
Pierce company, and the Wichita Natural Gas COM
pany, got into the going with the result that the
prices of leases up to $40 an acre within
very short time. Everywhere there has been mad
scramble for leases in Woods county. Should gush-
be brought in by any of these big companies, the
Northwestern leases would be worth anywhere from

that would be made if the company developed its

The officers of this company are reputable men,
well versed in handling oil affairs a big basis Mr.
c. c. Campbell of Oklahoma City has had FIVE years
successful experience in Illinois oil fields. Mr. T. a.

companys holdings are) is the treasurer and is
known by everyone as thoroughly reliable and up
right in every sense of the word. II. L. Sturm OF
the Carter company of Ardmore, widely known in
Oklahoma expert driller, is vice president or
the company and will have charge of the drilling.
These men have pledged themselves that the
Northwestern Petroleum company will give its stock
holders not only square deal, but every possible
advantage. Not dollar of the companys money
has been spent in promotion work. Just as soon as
