Which
Do You
Prefer?

To invest your money with
n company operating in n
real proven oil field, where
all the chances and odds are
in your favor, or invest in
some of the propositions that
promise nothing more than
an experiment with all
chances and odds merely a
gamble. 1t is true that n dry
hole is found once in a great
while in the Drumright field,
probably one out Of a pos
sible 200. This occurs any
where, but spells nothing,
when you know absolutely
that the entire field is proven
and that there are five diff
ferent and distinct oil pro-
ducing sands. Your own
good sound sense and judg-
mcnt will convince you of the
superiority Of a preference in
this field above all others.

It'll | Come Back"
at the Magic City
-

The scenes of "Till | Come Back
to You" are located in Belgium, just
prior to and subsequent to- the Hun
invasion. Yvonne, young and beau
tiful Belgian, is the wife of Karl Won
Krut, who is presumably merchant,
but in reality a German secret agent.
This was a marriage of convenience
on her part and she bears no love for
her husband. she lives with her
brother, Jacques, and her husband
! in a farm house and one morning
after her husband had spent
most of the night carousing with
boon companions, Yvonne finds !.
roughly traced map of Belgium PEN
ciled upon the white tablecloth. Won
Krutz enters and takes it from her
roughly, and she then suspects the
truth. The Germans invade Belgium
and Won Krutz takes his departure.
King Albert stops during the retreat
of the Belgians at the Won Krutz cot
tage, where he finds Jacques play
ing the game beating the Huns.
The King plays with him and tells
him to be brave and wait It'll ] come
back to you" America enters the
war and Captain Jefferson Strong,
an officer of American engineers, Isl
detailed to destroy Hun tanks con-
tanning liquid fire, which the Ger
mans propose to use against the
Allies. By pretending to be an es-
capped German prisoner he gains ae-I
cess to the Germans lines, reaches
Yvonne's cottage, learns where the
liquid fire is being stored, and By
means of pigeons dropped from air
planes he communicates the news to
the American commander, and tap
pers are instantly set to work to tun-
mel under No Mans Land to the hin
where the liquid fire is stored. Mean
while Won Krutz returns, finds Cap
tain Strong telephoning, destroyes
the instruments and a desperate bat
tie ensues. Yvonne takes sixty-five
orphans from a nearby asylum into
the tunnel and awaits a message from
Captain Strong, which does not come.
The hour for the explosion being at
hand, Strong, to save the lives Of the
children and the woman he loves, cuts
the electric wire and prevents the
explosion just as the button is being
pressed. He is arrested for disObe-
dience of order aud tried by court |
martial, and but for the interference
of King Albert would have been shot.
