Out great national vice Is wasteiul-
ness. Because things have come easily
in this rich new country, they have
gone easily, aud we have actually
taken a silly pride in being spenderI
instead Of savers.
Money Flowed Through Sieve.
The result has been that money has
flowed through our loose hands like
water through a sieve. and al the end
Of a year, Of Of a lifetime. they were
empty. There was not a dollar 10 show
Tor all the hard work. There was not
even any Jewels, or fine furniture. or a
wardrobe OF elaborate clothes >as the

The money had not gone for any one
or two big extravagances, but in a

Little 10 Is a Winning Gamble

The Little 10 Oil company is going to win and win big We can
see no reason why it shouldn't Its leases are in sure production fields
easily drilled at a minimum expense, and with a ready market for all
of the oil it can supply at a big price. With oil now selling for & a
barre, and the consumption growing greater and greater steadily, and
the government CRYING for more and more oil, Little 10 should be paying
handsome dividends as soon as the first well is brought IN, to the in
vestors who buy shares now.

Holdings of the Company

The properties Of the Little 10 Oil company include lease, in the
famous Chelsea oil field, where a dry hole is as scarce as a cool spring
of running water in a desert and where good producing oil wells are
brought in almost invariably in the shallow sand which guarantees the
cost of drilling to be the minimum, and in Montgomery county, Kansas

Few Escane

There are few indeed who escape
having at least one cold during the
winter months, and they are fortunate
who have but one and get through
with it quickly and without any SER
ious consequences. Take Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy and observe the
directions with each bottle, and you
are likely to be one of the fortunate
ones. The worth and merit of this
remedy has been fully proven. There
are many families Who have always
used it for years when troubled with
cough or cold, and with the very
best results.
