will grant discharges because OF de-
pendent relatives in very few cases.
Moreover, he said that where it is con-
sidered advisable local boards may re-
open cases in which discharges because
of dependency were given and recall the
men into service.
The provost marshals message, which
was addressed to Governors Of states
and transmitted to FOCAL officials by the
adjutant generals of the various states,
summarizes the relation Of the act OF
Congress approved on October last to
the draft. The effect of that law, which
provides for family allowances, allot-
ments, compensation and insurance FOR
the military and naval service, is to re-
move the necessity of discharging men
with dependents by making provision
for the support of the family while the
soldier is under arms, and for insur-
ance in case of his death.
Will Affect Appeal Cases
Mr.. Wood explained this new view in
regard to dependency will have the
greatest effect in dealing with appeal
cases. Under a recent ruling of the
Provost Marshal, which permits select
ed men to ask the Governor to review
appeal denied by the district board
Governor Whitman, it is said, has been
swamped with hundreds of cases. Ad-
jutant General Sheriff. informed Mr.
Wood that the new rule would be con-
sidered by the Governor in passing on
these review cases.
In summarizing the new act, the
Provost Marshal's message says:
at provides for allotments Of pay OF
every enlisted man, compulsory as TO
wife and to child, voluntary as to other
persons. Monthly allotments shall be
in an amount equal to family allow
ances hereinafter specified in not more
than half the pay or less than sl5. The
Secretary of War may require that any
portion Of the half of the pay which is
not allotted shall be deposited In the
military pay fund for the benefit OF
the man. Compensation for death or
disability is also provided for. =,

$50 a month, in addition to pay allotted

Political conditions in Spain have
been greatly disturbed in the last year,
and there have been widespread strikes
and rioting, accompanied at times by.
movements which appear to be OF
revolutionary character Several
changes in the ministry have occurred.
No recent dispatches have been re-
ceived which explain the present min
isterial crisis. The retiring ministry
was formed by Eduardo Dato last June.
IL is considered probable that An
tonic Maurer. the great Conservative
leader, will return to power. The King
NAV insist that Premier Dato retain
his position until Parliament reopens.

NOT A GAMBLE OR CHANCE

The oil game today is a science, we are not asking you
to invest in a company that owns a lease only, and at some
future date viii attempt to strike oil. We are not only in
proven territory, but have producing wells. Note extract
from Oil & Gas News, a Kansas City publication March 9Th,
1917: ITO the credit Of the Wayside Pool let it be said that
adry hole is an unknown quantity. :" Some wells in this vi
cinity have been pumping since 1904 and many are still pro-
ducing at the same rate they did at that time.
Leases, even without producing wells are commanding
enormous prices In proven territory at this time. We could
dispose of our holdings outright and reap a big profit, but if
it is worth a certain price to any one else, why is it not
worth the same to us? We want TO make this money our
selves. We are not in any promoting Scheme-if we were,
we would sell out now and take our profits and start some
thing else. We want to say right here that the present of
fcers and men who control this Company are in to stay.
Only the ones actively engaged and devoting their time in
work will draw any salary whatever, and then only nomi-
nal. The other officers and directors expect to derive their
income from the dividnds on their stock just the same as
any investor.
You may ask why this stock is for sale-do you realize
that when any corporation is formed there is a certain
amount of stock to be solids it all held by one man, or
two, or three? The banks in your town, for instance-did
investors not have an opportunity to subscribe for some
number of shares This is the same with the biggest banks
in the country-Commerce Trust Company and First Ma
tional Bank of Kansas City. 1t is the same with any indus
trial organization, large or small. We are not making any
statement that ours is the only good, straightforward prop
investigate thoroughy-we want you to know all about the
Lucky Beck Oil & Gas Company, answer all questions, give
you every bit of information even to the smallest details.

SOLD PROPERTY A YEAR AGO FOR SIS.
600, BUYS BACK FOR SIX MILLION
DOLLARS
DOLLARS

1t is known that H. F. Sinclair and associates sold a lit
tie over a year ago to the Tidal Oil Company their Usage
holdings for about $4,000. Today Sinclair is buying back
Six Million Dollars. This is somewhat unusual we admit,
but is illustrative of what is happening in the oil field every
day.
The burning question today with every man and wom-
in the oil business and get a square deal?' independence
in old age and an ample estate can be secured by one of two
means-either hard work with a life time of pinching and
denials, or by grasping your chance when it is presented.
You know there are two kinds of people in the world-those
who are always getting ready to do something and those
who go ahead and do it.
A few rich oil men grow constantly richer, not because
they can see more than other experienced men, but because
they have the money to act when they see. The profits
come only to the man who ACTS. To SEE the opportunity,
never wins, To him who dares to follow his judgment,
comes the reward. We invite you to ACT.
