fer, the work may be carried On in a

Then there is the little matter of
an examination for those who drive.
Some of the ~bourgeoise decided that
before any man, woman or child
might take a self-propelled vehicle on
to the streets or highways, said per-
son should stand an examination as
to his or her fitness. When the pro-
ponents Of the project vent to Albany,
some of those wise and experienced
in legislative labyrinths said, said
they: And do you expect a farmer
legislature to pass any such bill as
that?" Up to that moment, said e
thusiastic proponents did have ideas
alnog that line. The ideas underwent
a rapid change. Oh, the legislature
did pass an examination bill and then
they made it apply only in New York
City. What the examination propo-
nents thought about when they got
their bill back, we suggest as a sub
ject for treatment by that well known

We have firm confidence now that Uvalde

the year in Texas oil development.
The price of Uvalde Oil Company stock has
been advanced to So, per share. The par value
is $1.00 There is mighty little of it left at that
price We are justified in the price advance
by the developments of the past few weeks
since we'll No. attained depth. The stock has
moved more rapidly at So than at $1-because
Uvalde Oil is no longer a speculation; it is an
investment.
We feel that we may safely advise our

be found in any oil enterprise now in oper-
alton.
But act quickly. The sale Of Uvalde stock is.
just about complete.
