our lease contracted two days ago for a

start drilling within few days The min

Every time a drill starts nearer our lease.
the more valuable our property becomes.
A number of large companies have been
trying to negotiate with us to drill this
property for us for a small interest, but we
believe we have the most valuable lease in
the entire field. The geologists say big

To Drill Soon

Joe Milan, president of this company
is now on the ground making arrange
ments to soon start the drill on this lease.
There are fifteen or twenty derricks in
this field showing lot of activity, and
everyone is expecting other big wells to be
brought in. It wouldn't be surprising to
learn that a 5000 or 1OO0O-barrel we'll
is brought in right close to us. That would
make our stock worth at least a dollar a
share Immediately. This company is cap
italized at only $500O000, so you can
readily see the enormous profits ON each
share of stock if we get big producer.

TRUTH TALES OF THE GREAT
WAR-II.
By Gerald Brandon

TN wartime spies are everywhere.
/ but they do not last long when
. they play as bold game as did
Lieutenant Fauxnom.
Perhaps ] am wfonging the memory
Of Fauxnom by branding him a. a spy.
for il seems incredible that the true
Fauxnom could have stopped so low as
TO betray his country The generally
accepted theory is that the man We shot
that day at Souilly was a German who
in some way had managed to get rid of
and impersonale FauXnom. but I'M
fortunately we have never been able 10
get to the bottom OF the matter
Fauxnom enjoyed the reputation Of
being a daring pilot having participated
in several long distance bombing eN-
pedltionS Late last year he applied for
transfer to a diyisionary Squadflle
stating that he wished 10 dedicate him
self to the regulation OF artillery fire
He was strong in mathematics, had
an excellent eve for distance and dl.
ree,ion. and. after some practice wa
assigned 10 duty IN our sector near
Souilly.
