Get In With Us

want to drill on this valuable lease just as soon as
possible and bring in a big producer. ! am selling stock
in the Lucky Lease Oil Company for this reason. The
company is only capitalized at $4,000, so you see il we
get a big gusher, the profits on a $4,000 investment are
going to be enormous. One well like the big gusher
brought in near Our lease would pay back $1,000 for every
hundred invested the first year. The stock is 20 cents a
share! Every cent of it is going into the drilling work
after the necessary running expenses of the company are
bald. There are no high priced statesmen to eat up half
the amount you subscribe. The company gets the full
benefit of the money you send in. You had better buy a
block of these shares right now. Many wells are drilling
right around us, and II another big well comes in, this
stock IS sure to double in price. | am Just going to sell
enough shares to get the drilling money-then ] am going
to stop and the stock goes off the market. Better buy
while YOU car.

Our Lease Just Al Good

There is no reason why our lease is not just as good as
the one on which this well was brought in. We are only
a short distance away. We are right on the same struc-
ture. The drills are pounding down all around US Every.
one expects this to be one of the greatest new oil pools in
the state. We expect just as big producers on our lease.
We may get a 2000-barrel. well. The chances are good
for even larger ones, 5000 and even l000O-barel wells
are not exceptions m the oil fields. A 2,0O0-banel well on
our lease would make us all rich, immensely rich, It
would give us more than a million dollars to divide among

WAR SUMMARY

SOIsSOns mas fallen 10 the
allies and the German salient
south of the AiSne seems to be
doomed.
Allied hammer blows have
had their effect and the Ger
mans are retiring precipitately
TO the north.
American. French and Brit

rapidly md continue their pres
sure strongly at all points
On a front OF 35 miles from
northwest of SOissOns to ReimS

erages three miles on the en-
tire line.
American troops in the center
of the front of attack gained
more than five miles.
When SOissOns was captured
at ) O'Clock yesterday evening
many Germans were taken
prisoners.
Paris reports that through
out the night the allies cOnin-
ued the advance toward the
Vesle. East OF SOissOns they
have passed beyond the city
and have reached the Aisne
river.
Since the fall of Scissors il
is said that reports of villages

Wilson Urges,
HeaUy Tax on
War Profits

Washington. Aug. 3.-President
Wilson has let it be known to
members of the house ways and
means committee, which is franz
ing the new eight billion dollar
revenue bill, that he is interested
in a heavy tax on war profits. The
president has given careful study
10 the present tax system and alst
to the English system, which i'm
poses a fiat tax of 80 per cent on
such profits.
In his address to congress in
May. the president said there was
indisputable evidence of war profit
eering and that it must be reached
by the new revenue bill.
"PTOfiteering that cannot be got
at by restraints of conscience, :"
said the president, can be got at
by taxation"
The house ways and means
committee has been considering d
war profits tax to be superim-
posed on the excess profits tax
provided for in the present rev.
enue measure, but no decision has
been reached. The English sys-
tenn has been considered, but some
members have contended that
better plan can be devised and
one that will yield a greater re-
turn
One complaint against the war
profits tax is that it does not al
ways reach the war prohteers.
