During the past two weeks hundreds of people in all walks of life have invested in stock at $500 per share. DURING the next few days this list of stockholders will be doubled or TREBLED.
 The question that every stockholder wishes answered Is, What will my TEX AS EAGLE stock be worth?"
 How much 1t may be worth in the FUT- URE 1t Is useless to ESTIMATE POSSIBILITIES are STAGGERING. But it Is simple matter to tell what 1t IS worth RIGHT NOW-this very DAY. For EVERY DOLLAR invested in TEX AS EAGLE there is MORE than dol lars worth of ASSETS. TEXAS EAGLE has large WORKING FUND in CASH which belongs to its stockholders. TEX AS EAGLE holdings could BE SOLD at ONCE for as much as its ENTIRE CAPT. VALUATION. BECAUSE TEXAS EAGLE HAS BEEN HONESTLY OR GANIZED = WITHOUT WATERED STOCK WITHOUT INFLATED VAL UATIONS : WITHOUT RAKEOFFS TO ANYBODY IT COULD QUIT RIGHT NOW AND PAY EVERY STOCKHOLDERS A GOOD PROFIT ON HIS INVESTMENT.
 If that is the case NOW, just try to IM- AGINE the VALUE of TEXAS EAGLE stock six months from this time after TEXAS EAGLE has fully completed some of the BIG DEALS which its OR GANIZATION Is working out NOW.
 AND DON'T FORGET that TEXAS EAGLE is now drilling TWO WELLS in the WANDER POOL OF BURKBUR- NETT and RANGER and have 8 more contracted for.
 You still have the chance to get TEXAS EAGLE stock at $500 per share. When you subscribe for the largest amount your purse justifies, remember that for EVERY DOLLAR you send there is MORE THAN a DOLLARS worth of VALUE to BACK IT UP. The TIME. GROWS SHORT. TODAY is a FAR BETTER DAY than TOMORROW.

Government FOOD
GOING SLOWLY
City Officials Amazed a
Lack of Demand for
1t.

Only about half the government food
canned goods has been disposed of at
the fire department, according to re-
per; this morning. 1t was thought that
,l-..-a.y the goods would be sold
49, e. re will be continued probably
L..-.. 49,. IRE sold, but so far things
are L.. $50 -.-@!y. There were about
100 w.. -. lined tomatoes, corn,
peas and L.-..- y..yped here and the
proceeds from t1g sale SO far show
5000 worth sold. 1t ce.4e as surprise
to the city officials in charge that there
remained any of the food this morning.
1t had been predicted thai 1t would all
vanish by the end OF the first day.
Most of the purchasers came yes
terday morning, many in cars, some
with wagons, a number of boys came Oh
bicycles, strapping boxes with ropes
on the front and carrying them away
in this manner. A number called and
kpaid for crates, leaving them till aftel
the sun went down when they stole
up the side streets with ungraceful
parcels. Most of the men folks, how
ever, who were requested by the heads
of houses to make tracks Tor the fire
department and help cut down the
grocery bill, did so good naturally.
One OF two women in the city wero
heard to remark that they not only
ordered canned stuff from the govern
ment earlier but bought still more yes
terday morning,
The fire department boys, not be-
longing to the union, worked out Of
office hours last evening and sold o
few crates. A number about the city
building have been lending helping
hands in the capacity Of clerks. Miss
Jeanette Fright remained at the table
most of tie day yesterday, serving as
cashier and bookkeeper. This morning
there were very few to need her SER
vices and she remained In the treas
urr's office, to be called II needed. All
Of the beans are disposed Of, there be-
ing only 20 cases in the lot of goods.
Most of the peas have been sold, some
cans of them piled on the table at noon
this morning all that was left. There
are plenty Of tomatoes and corn, the
former not disappearing very fast, due
to the fact that many are putting up
tomatoes at this time.
]. Clyde Morris, now city director,
stated that he would like to take the
government goods to his store-that
he could selllit very easily there as he
couldn't get goods at that price. AT
first customers were limited to case
each, two cases of tomatoes, but 1t was
thought that more than one case might
be bought considering the fact that
there is plenty evidently to go around.
The sale will continue today. 1t was
suggested this morning that some OF
the members of the Women's club
come forward and save money.

Lake Situation.
According to report from Detroit
curtailment OF lake commerce IN Au-
gust due to the strikes of the railroad
shopmen and the workers on ore and

only 66O9, 1851 tons Of freight through
the waterways at Sault Ste. Marie last
month"; decrease Of 6,179,S40 tons
compared with the record OF August
1918.

Quate for the city Of Charleston alone

(RD Associated Press)

BOSTON, Sept. l0-Lawlessness
was rampant in Boston today. With
out adequate police protection private
citizens were left to their own re-
sources to protect their lives and prop
erty. Since the police struck at 5:46
o'clock yesterday afternoon there has
been no organized police power able
to cope with the situation that last
night approached anarchy and today
appeared to grow more serious.
Although Mayor Peters had issued a
call for state guard troops 1t was
understood that arrangements were
made last night to mobilize several
thousand of them within few hours
if needed.
