Oil Investments.

An examination OF the history Of
investments in new oil fields shows
astounding fortunes realized from
almost Insignificant investments.
In one instance for which we have
a sworn affidavit. the investor re-
ceived $3.50, 10000 cash from an in
vestment of $4,000 in a new oil
field.
The oil industry is in an enviable
position and condition AZ the pres
ent time
1t offers the most attractive in
vestment field in the world today.
The development and the use of the
automobile, auto truck. stationary
gas engine. farm tractors. the Die
sci oil engine for use in every type
OF marine craft from tiny tug to
mammoth freighter and passenger
ship, the astounding development
and use of aeroplanes and dirigible
air ships, have all created an over
whelming demand for petroleum
products-and the demand is only
in its infancy.
There is room for immense ex-
pansion in the use Of all power
units using petroleum products for
fuel-it is inevitable. Civilization
in its present state OF exceptional
development and demand cannot
exist without petroleum There il
only one conclusion New oil fields
must be opened Up.

her son, c. R. Powell, for time.
About year ago she went to the

Whole Family Serves.

Morrisville has the honor of having
more men in the service per capita
than any other town in Lamoille
county, having about 100 men now in
some active branch of the service.
Just at present the residents are feel
ing proud of the fact that whole
family has offered it's services to I'm
Gle Sam and given up everything else
for the cause. James M. Kelley, Nor
risville station agent, Lamoille coun-
ty food administrator, and one of the
most popular and patriotic citizens Of
Lamoille, has offered his services for
overseas Y. M. C. A. work, has been
accepted and is now at Columbia uni

ley is 46 years of age, was born in
Canada, educated in Canada and came
to Vermont 27 years ago to work as
telegraph operator at Swanton. He
married Miss Addie Patch of Fletch-
er, year later, and about 25 years
ago came to the Morrisville station.
At the time Of the Mexican border
trouble he surprised his friends by
enlisting in Company G, First Ver-
mont, and accompanying the boys on
the trip.
Since the United States entered
the war he has been active in all pa
triotic work and has given literally
He helped organize the local company
of Vermont Volunteer Militia, of
which he was appointed first lieuten-
ant. Maurice P. Kelley, their only
son, is now in France, a member Of
the headquarters company, coast ar
tillery. He was graduated from Peo-
pies academy and after two years at
the University of Vermont accepted
travelling position with a Boston
firm, which he resigned last winter
to enter the service. Mrs. Kelley, who
is an expert telegraph operator has
passed government examinations for
the civil service and, while she regrets
she is not allowed to do her bit over
there, is ready to accept any work in
this country and is awaiting orders.
Meantime, she is one of the most en-
thusiastic Red Cross workers and has
been giving part of her time at Mr..
Kelley's work at the station.

WRITES FROM GERMAN PRISON.
Charette Says Food There is Not the
Best But Can Live on 1t.

The following letter has been re-
ceived from former Barton boy, who
is now in the German prison Camp
Darmstadt. The letter was written
to Lyndonville relatives:
American Prisoner in Germany:
April go
Will try and write few lines to let
you know that I am we'll and hope
this finds you the same. l am pris-
oner of war in German camp, but l
do not want you to worry about me
for I am all right and after the war is
over, I will come back to you all.
You will not be able to answer this
letter until you hear from me again
which I hope will be very soon. We
are all waiting to go to our camp
and then I will send you my address.
When you write please tell me If Mrs.
G.. has heard from Hugh. You have
heard all about this affair so l won't
have to tell you. We have a very nice
place to sleep and pretty fair food,
not the best of food, but enough to
live on. When you get my address
you can send me something. l lost
everything I own and as there is no
chance to buy anything here l will
have to have it sent from home.
I wish you would write to my aunt
in Barton and tell her that l am well
and will try and write her later. l
would like to tell you more about this
but I don't think / will because it
would make you feel bad. But cheer
up because this war will be over some
day and then l will surely come home.
When you write be sure to send me
picture of yourself because | lost the
one I had. Just wait until you hear
from me again and then you will be
able to send some things. You can
have them ready to send as soon as
you hear.
