OIL STOCK SELLING
IS UhPATR|OT|C

indianapolis, June 9.-(Special) -
Not only is it unpatriotic for the pro-
motors of oil stock selling schemes to
offer their Securities" to the public
now when every surplus penny should
be invested in Government securities.
or in legitimate enterprises necessary
to the winning of the war, but such
companies, declares the National Vigil
lance Committee of the Associated
Advertising Clubs of / re World, are
using deceptive methods and are there
by gaining the financial support of in
experienced persons who are sure TO
be disappointed in time.
The first of a series of special re-
ports describing the advertising meth
DDS of oil spectators, has just been
issued by the National Vigilance Com
mittee. The report explains that the
committee appreciates the fact that
the oil industry is essential to the win
ming of the war, but cites the fact
that practically no oil has been pro-
duced by the concerns which have ex-
plotted their stocks-drawing dis
tinction between oil producing and OF,
stock producing companies. The spe-
cial Investigations of the committee
showed that practically all of the new
oil development had been through the
plan followed by existing producing
companies, of regularly investing a
part of their earnings in the trial OF
new fields.
One of the commonest tricks of the
oil stock promoter has been the sale
of lots" twenty by twenty feet or OF
similarly small size, the land in many
cases thus bringing $4,000 an acre. 1t
is land that will not so much as raise
onions when the promotion season
ends and the investor" balances his
accounts.

MAIL GIVES.
P. D. AUTHORITIES.
LOT Of TRIO UBLE.

The post office department is having
trouble because people unwittingly
place mail matter in envelopes which
are of sizes that cannot be sent through
the cancelling machines and have to
be laid aside and the stamps cancelled
by hand, thereby causing delay and an
extra amount of work. In some cases
the envelopes are extremely large or
small, while in others they are TRAN
gular, circular or other irregular shape.
The department requests that white
color is used it should be of very light
tints of pink, yellow or blue.
In every case not less than three
and one-half inches of clear space
should be left at the right end of the
address side of all envelopes in order
that there may be ample space for
postage stamps, postmarking, address
and directions for forwarding and re-
turn.
Uniform size envelopes are also
asked by the department of patrons
of post offices. 1t is suggested the use
of envelopes do not exceed approxi-
mately inches by inches in size,
on which ample clear space is left on
the right portion of the address side
for the address, postage stamps and
other requirements.
This applies with equal force to the
use of advertising cards, folders and
similar matter of unusual size or ir-
regular shape.

TACTICS OF MANY

milers and dealers to market laundry
starch for human consumption under
brand names, such as corn flour, corn

posed in a bulletin just made public by
County Food Administrator C. S. Bon
acker.

ture of the meeting was the presence
of twenty colored soldiers, who were
sent from the Navy Yard by Capt.
