GARFIELD URGES
COUNTRY TO BUY
COAL AT ONCE
Should Order Enough Fuel
to Cover Needs for Twelve
Months.

United States Fuel Administrator
Harry A. Garfield has issued the fol-
lowing statement on the coal situa-
ton:
Every householder, every public
utility, and every industrial user Of
coal engaged in work essential to the
prosecution of the war, are earnestly
advised and urged to place without
delay their order for coal to cover
their needs for the twelve months be-
ginning April 1. During the past
twelve months there has been suffer
ing among consumers, and a curtail-
ment of essential production by indus
tries, through inability to obtain neces
sary fuel after the beginning of winter
A year ago consumers were led to
believe that they might safely with
hold their orders until later in the
year. They labored under the impress
ion that coal could be bought and Sc
cured as well at one time as another.
They were told there was plenty OF
coal for everybody and that there
would be plenty of coal cars to move
the coal in also.
This advice and it's acceptance by
consumers was one of the contributing
causes to the coal shortage with it's
cOnequent suffering among domestic
Conumers and lessening in production
of commoditie needed in our war ac-
tivities.
place your orders at once If do
nestle consumers have not sufficient
storage space for the coal they will
need, they should enlarge their bins.
If public utilities and industries en-
gagged upon governm mt work have not
sufficient storage space the should at
once provide it

sion that remains in your hands is certificate,
which is not a negotiable instrument.
Buy a Liberty bond and you can, if necessity
forces you, use it to pay debt Try to pay
debt with highly speculative stock certificate
and see how quickly you will be turned down.
A Liberty bond Is real money that will pay
a debt or make purchase. A speculative stock
is piece of paper that ntrinsically is worthless
until the company has declared dividends. Until
that time and sad experience has proved that
thousands of oil, mining and promotion compan-
les never declare dividends, your stock certific-
ate has no worth in paying debts or buying COM
modities. Or in other words, every dollar you
invest in speculative stock, goes on voyage
from which it may never return to the safe port
of your pocket.
Lecaize the situation to yourself. If per-
son owed you $4,000, would you be willing to cam
eel the debt for stock certificate of $4,000 in a
company that was not producing oil or gold on
it's land? Your own good judgment would tell
you that you were trading sure-thing for an
uncertainty. But if man handed you $4,000
worth of Liberty loan bonds in payment of a
debt, would you accept them? Without fail.

Two Kinds of Investments


Two Kinds of Investments
Citizens Of Wayne county have their choice
of investing in two kinds of securities these days
One is an issue Of war credits, put out by the
government, bearing Az percent interest. backed
by the best security in the world, to be used for
the protection Of our homes against the world
lust Of an insane Kaiser.
The other is highly speculative stock. with
no assurance of return of dividends, with no
purpose of defending the nation against the hos
tile designs of the worlds greatest tyranny.
Which do you intend to choose7
Your government. the nation for which your
sons and brothers are fighting, Is asking for ST.
100000 in this community to buy guns and food
for the soldiers.
Patriotic committees working without re-
compense, obtaining no commission for their
sales, are placing these government securities
No commissions or brokerage fees are subtract
ed from your investment to fatten the bank bal
ance Of the third party.
Compare with this government bond issue,
with its positive assurance Of stipulated returns,
the statements that are made in a letter which
many citizens of Wayne county have received In
their mail in the last ten days:
do you know more money can be made on
a given investment in the oil industry than is
possible in any other business? That 500 mil
lionaires were created in the mid-continent field
last year, and that it is very probable that more
than that number will be created during the COM
ing year?
1.-THE fortune building magic Of the oil indus
try is beyond all comprehension, and even the ex-
perienced financier has difficulty in grasping the
magnitude Of the income from given produc-
ton. Suffice it to say that the net income the
first year for 50O-barrel well, with crude oil
selling direct to the pipeline at 1925 barrel, at
which price the -- is now selling it's pro-
original investment.
Oklahoma is the worlds greatest oil field,
this state leading the world last year and the
year before that with the tremendous production
of 100000 barrels. Eighty-fve percent of all
wells drilled in proven territory, such as the -
is operating in, brought in production last
year. And even the most commonplace and
necessary retail business in our American COM
mercialism have no more favorable record, as
mercantile agency statistics will prove to you if
you will peruse them"
You do not find positive statement in this
prospectus that assures you a safe return on
your money. Compare it with the government s
promise of Az percent for every dollar you in
vest in Liberty bonds. This prospectus has only
one positive declaration, namely, that share of
stock will cost you 81. 1t does not assure you 3
or percent return on the dollar. Compare Uncle
Sans credit with the promise of the stock pro-
moter, and then let common sense rule your judy
ment.
If you make an investment of this kind, you
are giving your money to strangers for highly
speculative purpose The only tangible nosses
