\ GROWING ,
OIL COMPANY

One of the oil companies of the
west that has stood the test of the
summer slumps and that is going
into the winter prosperity with the
confidence of the oil investors is the
Capitol Petroleum company. It's
first allotment of stock was oversub-
scribed by approximately one-half
million shares. The second allot-
ment bids fair to be equally as pop
ular and the pleasureable feature
OF its business is the fact that the
investors OF the first allotment are
he investors OF the second. The
property OF the company is located
in the Kansas and Oklahoma oil
fields which, as everyone knows, are
in the heart of the great oil west
The company has branched out un-
til it has representatives in all of
the large cities OF Colorado, New
Mexico, Idaho, Kansas, Oklahoma,
and Wyoming. 1t promises to be
one OF the great oil producing com
psniss Of western America.

Our Yellow Peril
BY Prof. Irving Fisher, in The F1nancier

Never since the Civil war, has the
price level in this country shot up
with such prodig:ous speed as in the
last few months. The excitement of
the present war at first made us for
get our anxiety about the high cost
of living. But recently the war it
self has re-introduced the problem
and re-aroused our interest in il. In
Europe the price levels of various
countries have shot. up even faster
than our own. Prof. Cassel Of
Sweden found that by April last.
prices in Russia had risen since the
war began by 165 per cent; in Ger
many. III per cent; in France. 81
per cent; in England, Go per cent,
and even in neutral Sweden, as per
cent. The price level in the United
States had at that time risen, accord
ing 10 Dun's Index Number, only 10
per cent. Since then prices in the
United States have continued to rise
than before the war. Undoubtedly
European prices have continued
their much sleeper ascent.
The price level depends on GER
tain fundamental factors: The guam
tity of money. the superstructure OF
credit built on this money founda-
ton. the velocities Of circulation OF
the money and the credit. and the
quantity of goods brought to mar

in the long run to commence with
pure-bred stock.

none, of course. but why keep mon

How to Select the Male.
In selecting males for breeding
purposes the first qualities to con-
slider are those in plainest evidence
the general appearance OF the
birds. Only such specimens should
be chosen as meet with the standard

At the same time the males are be

After selecting the males for gen

cal qualifications, in other words.

many females 10 place with each

/ The breed, size OF the flock. living

vigor of the stock are all determin-

are required with the heavier breeds.

Rose Comb Buff Leghorns are one
of the most popular varieties. In
color they are a soft, golden buff,

trast TO their handsome plumage

through, money, credit, velocities. or
goods.
To the question, which OF these
fundamental factors is, or are, re-
sponsible for the sudden uprising of
prices in the last few months, I
would reply that the chief causes
both abroad and at home are %
growing scarcity Of goods and CD
growing abundance of money. APP
parently the more important Of
these two is, even in Europe, the
growing abundance of money. To
put it in a nutshell, the whole world
is now suffering acutely from war
imitation. In belligerent countries,
this imitation has been chiefly in the
form of paper money issues. while
in neutral countries it has been
chiefly in the form of gold imports
The gold flowing to neutral coun-
tries, like sweden and the United
States. is gold displaced by paper
money in belligerent countries and
attracted 10 neutrals because the
belligerents could not export other
goods than gold.

crate my own view Of the appropri-
ate remedy--"stabilizin the dollar"

probation Of gold. 1 may take this
opportunity. however. to say that
have recently received several let
tiers, including two from prominent
bankers. expressing a new interest in
this proposal
At the close of the war there will
undoubtedly be a great revival OF in
terest in the problem of money and
monetary standards. This will be
due TO the paper money prediCa
ments abroad and the gold predica-
ment here.

TWO RULES TO PREVENT
TUBERCULOSIS SPREAD
AMONG LIVE STOCK

tuberculosis is the commonest
and most widely prevalent of all
contagious diseases. There are many
other infections, however, which are
much more easily spread and to
W hich the body of the average man
or animal is much less resistant.
The explanation of these apparently
inconsistent facts is to be found in
the appearance of perfect health
which victims of the disease often
possess long after they have become
active disseminators of the tuhercu-
losis germ. 1t is thus possible for
the disease to be introduced INTO
herds and TO become firmly estab-
lished in them without the knowl-
edge Of the owner.
Live stock can be protected
against this insidious disease by the
practice of two rules, which may be
stated as follows:
% Never introduce an animal
into healthy herd or flock unless
there is positive proof that it comes
from a healthy herd or flock
(2) Consult your veterinarian re-
Sdl ulllb tire optNldt tests WHICH can
be made 10 prove whether animals
are free from serious and common
diseases and make sure that no ami
mails are added to healthy herds
unless these tests combined with a
period of segregation. show that
they are free from infection.
In its insidious and chronic char
acter infectious abortion somewhat
resem bles tuberculosis. The germs
Of this disease may be spread by
animals that are apparently healthy.
and precautions similar 10 those
adopted for tuberculosis should
therefore be taken TO prevent its
dissemination
The essential cause of tubercu-
losis is the tubercle bacillus. Unless
this germ is present there can be no
tuberculosis.
