Y. M. c. A. NOTES.

The preliminary arrangements for
the membership and financial cam
paign are progressing nicely. Arrange
ments are being made for the dinners,
which are always feature of such
campaigns, and general headquar-
ters is being decided upon. At the
meeting of the Committee of Manage
ment last week the following team
captains were reported: A. A. Bled-
soc, A. r. Butler, A. c. Jackson, Ogels-
vie Lawson, DIR. T. e. McClain, Leroy
Perkins, G. w. Ross, Rev. G.. Ster-
ling Sawyer, DR.. P. e. Spratlin, DIR.
]. II. p. Westbrook. Some of the cap
tains have begun to fill out their
teams, and business will pick up" all
along the line just as soon as it is de-
cided just when the campaign will be
held.
A set of the larger boys is playing
championship pocket billiard tourna-
ment. Up to this time there have been
many surprises, and these doubtless
will increase before the finals are
played. Messrs. Brown and Chapman
played an exciting game of straight
billiards Wednesday evening-the
first in several weeks. For a while
honors seemed even, and 1t was diff
cult to tell which should win. BY
very careful playing combined with
good luck, Chapman won the series,
the score being to 0.
Owing to the inclement weather,
which began just about the time of
the meeting, DIR. Overs address for
last Sunday afternoon was postponed
until tomorrow Sunday. The sub
ject will be "The Race Question in
the Light of the Atlanta Negroes"
The meeting will begin promptly at
o'clock Everybody will be cordial
ly welcome.

The Commerce Oil Company, whose
advertisement appears on another
page of this paper, is one of the latest
interpretations, with excellent holdings
in the Wyoming oil fields. The man.
agement of this company is honest,
active and conservative, and the stock
holders will be we'll looked after. We
think that those who become stock
holders of the Company at the present
low price of one cent surely will make
one of the best Investments in the
Wyoming oil fields. Davis G. Com
pany, 313 Boston Building, or Bob
Carruth, s19-1eth Street, will be
pleased to give you full information
and details regarding the Company.

Rev. John E. Waters, minister of
the Baptist denomination spent a few
days in the city with Mr.. and Mrs. G.
Hall, formerly of Colorado Springs.
The reverend gentleman is much i'm
pressed with the Queen City and ex-
presses the hope of permanency of
residence. He anticipates improve
ment along all lines for our people
and from his practical knowledge of
them the exodus seems the work of
the Mighty Power that shapes and
guides our destinies.

WYOMING THE WONDERFUL.
Traditional Conservatism Bre S
Down in the Rush to Buy Oil
Stock.

Oil development in the Wyoming
fields has had the effect of breaking
through the crust of conservatism that
usually surrounds the cautions inves-
tor, and thousands are being daily in
vested in wyoming oil enterprises,
which come from sources that ordin-
ary speculative propositions have here
tofore failed to penetrate. Companies
are being financed and properties are
being developed in feverish haste In
the rush to secure dividends. Pessi-
mism has given way to optimism un-
der the pressure of overwhelming
proof that Wyoming today is the most
promising field for oil development on
the continent. New strikes are daily
being made and new companies whose
stock yesterday could be purchased for
a few cents a share, today find the
same stock worth twice as many dol
lars. 1t Is a matter of current knowl-
edge that in nearly every instance OF
success the men who have suddenly
become opulent were the men who in
vested in oil stocks offered at trifle.
The Midwest is the most striking ex-
ample but there are scores OF others.
These golden opportunities will not
last. The field is being too rapidly
covered, but there are still opportuni-
ties left. One of the most promising
of these opportunities is that offered
by the Diamond Oil Company. This
company which is offering it's initial
block of stock at two cents share is
on the eve of production, which will
automatically advance the price of it's
stock to figures that will spell af-
fluence to its shareholders.
This prediction is based on the fact
that it's first well has been SO far
advanced on it's lease in the Lost Sol
dier field that production is well nigh
assured. The company has 160 acres
in this fertile field. They also own
a valuable property in the Big Muddy
and have arranged with three adjoin-
ing leaseholders to sink test well
that will determine the character of
their holdings in that field. The COM
pany also owns leases in the New
Lusk and Wheatland fields which have
been reserved for future development
which will be undertaken when the
wells driven in their other leases pro-
vide the means for operation.
Every movement of this company
shows its earnestness and good faith
and its wise selection of the most
available locations on which to begin
operations More money is needed for
further development and the oppor-
tunity is now open for the purchase
of stock at price which may advance
at any moment and without mo-
ment's notice.
The Diamond Oil Company has es-
tablished offices in Denver at 623 and
624 Cooper Building, where its Secre-
tary, James Hessell, is ready to re-
ceive subscriptions. 1t has some of
the most favorably located leases in
the best fields in wyoming. Its pros
poets are of the brightest.

Eli Burrell spent two days here this
week on business in connection with
his Dearfield property. He reports
progress of the colonists from an all
round standpoint, his family's health
in good condition, school and church
work prosperous, and expresses
brightest hopes for such a develop
ment of the Dearfield Colony as will
attract more families to take up resi-

said he, as he exhibited some of the
rare beans and other products grown
on his farm.

A BUSINESS VI

A young couple, friends of Walter Sted- man. anxious to live In the country. were struggling to unyoke themselves from the lease of their city apartment The place was exactly what the Stedmans needed Janet declared. And, without more ado they slipped into it.
 But dear, isn't 1t too big7" Walt ob- jected. T don't want you to be worried with housekeeping. It's bad enough your going to business every day without having to think of cleaning and market ing and fussing with kitchens and things.
 "Oh, but, Walt, if you only knew how I've longed to have kitchen! Rows ot lovely, canned tomatoes and asparagus and salmon and peas and jars of jam and bottles of olives and pickles.
 "It'll be perfect joy to get little din ners and breakfasts. I love to cook. And I've lived in boarding houses so long that the sight of my own gas stove and porcelain sink gives me spasms of happi- ness"
 They'll give you spasms of weariness I'm afraid' growled Walt. q can't beat the thought of you coming home from business tired, and maybe wet with rain fussing about a kitchen. It isn't r1ght Let's take a hotel apartment or some thing, so we can get our meals out"
 "Yes, and pay a fortune for 1t, and have everything taste alike, and have to dress up and talk to a lot of gossipy people we don't care anything about, and-oh, Waltie, don't you see that If a thing is what you want it isn't hard work?
 Don't you see it's all in the point of view? You can make any undertaking easy or hard, according to how you go about 1t. Having an apartment or my own won't make 8 domestic slave of me. I'll let you take me out to dinner loads and loads of times-any time, in fact, that I feel tired or not in the mood to cook. Having a kitchen, we'll stocked and con- venient, won't mean more cooking for me. It will only mean that when do choose to cook 1t will be easier than mess ing around with a kitchenette or going out somewhere

 why, I shant do that, siry old boy. I'll have @ nice comfortable, motherly old-cullud pusson come around every morning and make the house neat as a pin.

 And now--let me see,' went ton Janet blithely You're to have the room off the parlor for your study. It's com pletely separated from the rest of the apartment and no matter how late you hammer your old typewriter there nights with your stories and your plays you won't disturb me.

 Walter Stedman, you'll have what l tell you The small room Is better for me anyhow. I like the view over the square, and it's sunnier than the other. Chintz will go so well in 1t, and | love chintz.

 And when I an1 will you stop being a working girl?" asked Walt bit wist- fully under his bantering tone.
 Maybe" said Janet, kissing him. But I'm afraid I'm too fond of work and-and independence to quit altogether-ever.'
