OHIO IS FAST NEARING
NEW YORK CAR TOTAL

Ohio rapidly is overtaking New
York as the first state in the number
of automobiles owned according to reg
istration statistics just received by
the Cleveland Automobile Club.
July / totals from which duplicates
have been eliminated, show that New
York had 422,853 cars registered. The
states next in order are Illinois, Iowa,
Pennsylvania, California and Michi-
gan.
Iowa has overtaken both Pennsyl-
vania and California since last year.
That little state makes the most re-
markable showing in the country, and
has kept it up, year after year. With
a population of only little better than
100000, it's registration is 325.0OO.
An automobile to every six persons in
the state. Ohio has an automobile for
every twelve persons, based on pop
ulation of 5212,000.
| Ohio shines particularly in consider
ing the increase. Since January l the
number of cars in the state has in
creased 1882. This is the greatest
in the country. New York's increase
in The same period was only .9O3. 1t
is this difference in the Increase when
is enabling Ohio to overtake New Y ork
in motor car ownership. Ohio's in
crease since July 1. 1917, was 1878
The total registration for the United
States as brought out by the stats
tics received by the automobile club Is
466 931.

FIVE SEPARATE BALLOTS
TO BE GIVEN VOTERS

Five separate ballots at least will
be voted by Medina county citizens in
the election Nov. 5.
The general ballot will be smaller
than at any previous election in recent
years. 1t will have but three columns
Republican, Democrat and Socialist.
The only state candidates will be those
in the Republican and Democratic col
umns which will bear the names OF
nominees for all state, legislative and
county offices. There will be no candi-
dates for state offices on the Socialist
ticket.
There will be two separate ballots
relating to constitutional amendments.
One of these will contain amendments
submitted by initiated petitions the
wet proposal permitting a referendum
on Legislative ratification of amend
ments to the federal constitution, the
; dry proposal for state prohibition and
the proposal for classification of prop
erty for taxation.
Then there is the judicial non-parti.
san ballot, and the other which will
contain the amendment submitted by
the General Assembly permitting the
passage of laws under which it will
be forbidden to tax both real estate
/ and the mortgage upon it.

Sometimes the owner of oil lands is willing to
sell portion of his Royalty interest. When this hap
pens those who know the value of such royalties
snap them UP quick. At times it is even possible to
obtain options on the oil land.
This is the way the Revenue Realty Company OF
Columbus acquired it's oil lands and royalties. A
Columbus man, CHANGING to be in the Kansas OIL
fields, learned about Royalties He quickly bought
some rich Royalties and secured options on others
On his return, prominent Columbus men joined him
in the enterprise. They formed a company. They
bought some of the stock of this company.
The company now offers portion of its stock
to you They are anxious to take uD their valuable
Royalty options
One option now held by the company has increas-
ed from per cent to 5 per cent per month income
on the option price. This is an increase in earnings
of more than 400 per cent in five months time The
profit possibilities in Oil Royalties tremendous.
And not dollar of invested money has ever been
lost in oil royalties.
Here is an opportunity for you to get into oil pro-
fits right-where the big, sure money is where
the risk is eliminated You join with this COM
pany. You can receive dividends from the money
already earned by present Royalty holdings of the
company. You can put your money to work earning
big, present dividends, with prospects Of unlimited
profit Royalties are the cream of the oil business
Royalties are different hetter- safer-sprer.-
than any other kind Of oil investment. They make
the oil business safe for the small investor.
The Medina sentinel. [volume] (Medina, Ohio) 1888-1961, 1918-09-27
Cream of the Oil Business
Not an "Oil Stock"

Oil royalties are not at all like other oil invest
ments The risk is eliminated.
Profits from oil royalties are not dependent upon
hunting for OIL The owner of Royalties does no
drilling. He has no operating management ex-
pense. He just sits back and draws his royalties
in cash. Prospecting companies and drilling com.
panies bear all the expense-take all the risk OF
loss. They do all the paying out The owner OF
the Royalty does nothing but take in. He skins
the cream of the oil business.
Here in the east people know little about Oil Roy
alties Out in the oil fields they know all about
them.
They wouldn't look twice at the stock of little
"wild-cat" oil company. They know where the big
money is. They stick to the safe sure way. They
buy Royalties. They know that not dollar OF in
vested money has ever been lost in Oil Royalties.
Oil Royalties are a different kind of investment.
The owner leases his land to one Of the big oper-
ating companies. They do the drilling for OIL They
give him one-eighth Of all the oil they get from
his land. That's his Royalty-the most valuable
thing in the oil busness-the cream Owners Of
oil lands and Royalties have become millionares
over night.
The royalty owners revenue is increased by ev.-.
cry producing we'll drilled on his property. But it
| the drilling company happens to put down dry
| hole it costs the royalty owner nothing.

sioner for France cables that the hos
pitfalls are in need of bath towels, hand
towels, sheets, napkins, handkerchiefs.
Each family is asked to contribute as
many articles as possible from it's re-
serve stock.( Failing a reserve stock.
new piece from each family would
be accepted). Wherever it seems
practical, housewives are urged to
make up these articles from old linen
skirts and dresses, not too worn, and
from pieces of new linen that may
happen to be available.
Necessary articles for hospita
equipment in France have been provid
ed by the Red Cross War Council. The
list submitted by the Red Cross Com
missioner for France included 100000
shirts, 100000 sheets, 250,000 ware
slippers and $4,000 bathroom slippers
Chapter production, it is hoped, will
provide other articles needed befor
January 1, 1919, when the sum of 1,
999,20 authorized by the Red Cros
will have been expended.
