sity. The meaning of the whole con Istitution is plain.
 When this country entered the war it had few real friends among the nations of the world because of our trade relations with the balance of the world. Now we have the friend ship and respect of nearly all of the nations of the earth and we must become member of the league which means peace for all the world or for ever lose their respect. We do not for our own protection need any league. but it is ireonceivable that we should selfishly remain out of this organization which means so much to civilization
 James S. Douglas of Douglas was introduced, and made short talk. He said that he believes in constructive criticism of the administration, both civil and military, for the mistakes made during the war, for it is only through such criticism that we can learn to rpevent such errors in future. Unless the people know, no progress can be made, particularly in the way of securing universal military train ing, which said MT. Douglas, is need ed in this country and which the war has shown that we need so much. The people must be shown what danger we were in through lack of prepared ness and what narrow escape we had.

HELLO, BOYS!

Like every other American you are glad to see the young fellow who is just back from France. You are just as glad to see the disappointed young ster who got no farther than the training camp. Both rep resent our fighting force to you. That one failed to reach France doesn't lessen the warmth of your handclasp one whit. Nor the sincerity of your welcome. That was the for; tunes of war. It's the willing ness to fight that counts.
 And you are just as proud of what the army did over there. You like to think of Chateau Thierry, Verdun, Bel leau wood, the Argonne forest and all other places where the Tanks clashed with the Hun as, samples of American pluck.
 Nor has it all lessened your conviction that America is the. greatest land under the sun. Breeds the gamest fighters; the most loyal citizens; the truest lovers and real appreciators of liberty. f
 Live up to your boast. Lend like a man to the Victory Lib erty Loan.

Burkburnett
 Companies to
 CutBig Melons
z By ANTHONY McCAULEY

By ANTHONY McCAUL1EY
 WICHIAT FALLS-The next thirty days will witness hundreds of cheer full faces in Burkburnett and Wichita Falls, as well as in other places where stock in the local oil companies is held. This happy feeling will be due to the cutting of several big mel ons by probably a dozen companes, who have treasuries far exceeding their capitalization. In some instances Standard Oil dividends will look weak and puny in comparison to the per centage size of some of these melons. ' Several of the companies are con- templating dividends of 100 per cent and in one or two instances there is talk of awarding 200 per cent cuts. In other words stockholders will not only get their melons returned to them, but an additional one for good measure.
 Such returns for money invested never have been known in the finan- cial history of this country in any line of business. This statement be- comes the more remarkable when it is understood that these immense prof. it's are obtained in the short period of three months time. It means that for the period of a year the dividends would equal 800 per cent on money in- vested.
 Once these dividends are paid and the public realizes the intrinsic value of it's investments it will take a de- cidedly new and more interested view of the oil game as it is played in Burkburnett and vicinity. Some doubtful minded folk, have wondered why more companies have not already paid dividends, but when it is explain ed that the short time elapsing be- tween the coming in of the wells, the gauging of the well flow and the nee essary thirty days run into the pipe lines, little time has been lost or frit- tered away by any of the organiza- tions Of course there have been some rumors that a few of the man. agements have been derelict in their conduct of the affairs of their com panies, hoping, it may be, that the stockholders would become restless and afraid, thereby willing to dispose of their stock at the reigning prices, which would enable them, the man. aSements, to buy it in but these cases are few, if they exist at all. No stock holder should worry in the least about getting raid for his oil if his we'll is producing it. There are always small but annoying delays and then there is the undcubted privilege Of oustins incompetent managers.

DON'T TIE HIS HANDS

If any foreigner was to step up to you and declare that Un- cle Sam wasn't sincere, didn't live up to his obligations, fail ed to make good his promises, you would probably try to knock his block off.
 Uncle Sam is sincere, is hon. orable, tries always to make good, backs up to the letter his ideals and endeavors to attain his ambitions.
 And when he fails anywhere along the line it's the folks at home who do not toe the line of duty. Who tie his hands.
 Right now Uncle Sam is ask ing you to help him meet the greatest obligation he has ever faced.
 The task of finishing this war job rightly.
 He asks it in his name, in the name of every khaki clad soldier in the land.
 In the name of every one of those 10000 boys who never came back!
 And the size of your bond measures the depth of your gratitude for all they have sav- . ed to you.

Astonishing Facts

There are SO few failures in the Burkburnett field that the percentageis almost negligible We not only guarantee to drill THREE wells, but we are now trying to get the first one started.
 When the drill goes down our stock will go up-and the div idends will start from the first well we bring in. Our stock is just about gone. You'll have to hurry if you join us.
 Suppose we get THREE pro- ducers! Then you'll wish you had bought while you could. It's not too late to buy if you're quick.
