In the first place an "all day service" was announced and members of the con gregation were invited to bring their dinners, and eat them under the shade of the trees near the church. This was done, and greatly enjoyed by every body. and with song service and other forms of worship the day passed pleasantly and profitably. Then in the evening o. V. Crabtree. a member of the congregation, invited the whole membership out to his farm four miles out on the Greensboro road to have a watermelon supper, his ample patch of fine melons furnishing same. Be- tween eighty and hundred members motored out to the hospitable Crabtree home and he fed them on great big juicy, fine watermelons-the sort sell ing around Tuscaloosa for six bits and d dollar apiece-until there was abso- lutely no chance for another slice to be consumed

Notwithstanding the fact that a considerable portion of our unpaid capitalization of S100,000 is unsold, we have announced an increase of 100 per cent in the price per share, effective midnight Saturday, August 9th.
 The rapid development surround ing our holdings in the Desdemona field of Texas has daily boosted the value of our acreage Gas yet undevel- oped but unquestionably as good) to approximately double it's valuation at time of organization, when it was put into the assets of the company as paid-in stock
 In justice to ourselves and those who have already invested with us we decided to increase the price to $20 per share after reasonable no- tice, which has been given in former announcement.
 Those who seek safe, sound and profitable oil investment should con- slider taking stock in this company. The following reasons (every one proven on investigation) will justify the investment:
 A legally incorporated company, under the laws of your home state, with it's home office in your home city.
 A convenient opportunity to visit as desired this home office and, as is the right of every stockholder, de- mand report of operations and see what is being done with your money.
 A conservative, economical busi- ness management and a list of off cers and directors who are pledged to draw no salary and make no need less expense prior to production of oil and paying first dividends.
 Stock in company whose hold ings (acreage assets in proven terri tory) are already worth more than it's total capitalization.
 Stock that is without a question worth very much more than it costs you, even before a single well is started, and that should jump to at least ten times it's cost when even one we'll is brought in.
 As matter of fact stock in this company will rapidly increase in value by reason of surrounding de- velopment alone, if we never drilled a we'll
 But we are going to drill we'll right away. Our field manager left last Saturday night for Texas and is now in the field making necessary arrangements.
 Last, but not least, consider our small capitalization, our mini mum expense programme, our un- salaried officers and small overhead expense. We mean business and are going to reach oil the quickest way at the smallest possible expense.
 Really, stock in this company gives pro rata ownership in all com pany assets now and hereafter, as we'll as your pro rata share of all profits.
 Could anything be fairer? How can we lose in field where the per- centage of producing wells is higher than 83 per cent and by drilling on acreage that is not only close up to but surrounded by producing wells and active development operations?
 Remember our slogan: Nothing ventured, nothing gained" Think, investigate, act. Buy at par value. Buy before Saturday, August 9th, 6p. m.

IN MEMoRlAM

In sad but loving. remembrance Of our
dear father, Joseph H. Salevan, who
passed away July IA, 1915
Just two years ago today
Our dear father passed away;
He received a message from above
And was borne to Heaven on wings OF
love.
In the graveyard softly sleeping,
Where the flowers gently wave,
Lies the one we love so dearly
In his cold an dsilent grave.
Home IS dark so dark and lonely,
Lonely, lonely, every spot;
Listening for his voice till weary,
Weary for we hear 1t not.
Sleep on dear father. thy cares are over,
Thy loving face we see no more.
When you breathed your last farewell
The blow meant more than words can tell.
His loving smiles, his loving face,
No one can I'LL his vacant place.
The trial was hard, Wen not complain,
But trust in God to meet him again.
Dear is the grave where he Is laid,
Sweet is the memory that never will fade.
The leaves may wither and fall from the
trees,
If others forget never shall we.
Sadly missed by Mother, Brothers and
Sisters
