 oil is 85 per cent carbon, so is the sun It is 15 per cent hydrogen, SC ;s the sun. The body of every ami mate being on earth, above the oarth and in the sea contains and is danendent upon this liquid sunshine ar oil. All vegetation contains and IS denendent upon oil as life element. C,1t G off all oil and the earth would be 2 vast cemetery in 90 days.
 Every bit of machinery, every wheel. shaft, spindle and cog in the industrial world depends upon oil to move. Every engine, ship and aero- nlane would stop but for oil. Not q banking house, factory, store, office. shop could open in all the marts of trade if there was no oil. Not q church. school-house, theatre, movie or game could bless, educate, give pleasure delight and recreation with out oil. No hospital or sick room could offer hope of health and life without oil.
 On Pullman from New York to Washington the other day a fellow passenger said to me, "I would in vest S15,0O0 in oil but do you know I feel the supply may fail and the wells go dry and I'd lose.
 He reminded me of man who had farm garden one hundred feet lower than Lake Ontario from which his house was supplied with water. One hot summer he let his garden dry up, because he said it was so hot he was afraid Lake Ontario might dry up and he would have no water to drink. One born every minute, and none of them ever die.
 The oil springs of Is on the banks of the Euphrates that furnished oil for the building and glorifving of Nineva and Babylon are still run ming. There is an oil spring in the Ionian Islands that has flowed for over two thousand years. The oil wells of Rangoon have supplied over 100000 barrels of oil annually for more than ten generations. There are oil wells in Burkesville, Ky, that have flowed since 1926. Other wells in Oil Creek Pa., which have flowed since 1915. You should worry.
 Put your ear to the ground Do you hear the march of industry? It is oilward. In the next 25 years the demand for oil and oil products will be more than double that of today. There is no substitute for oil. It can't be done. Oil is in class by it. self. If you wish to be in the march of progress, be abreast of your times, be one in the front ranks of success. and win wealth, power and honor, become an active investor and promoter in the oil industry. There are few choice seats with the win ners left. Cut out doubt, unbelief ana distrust, go in now.
 A friend of mine in New Bedford, Mass, had s1,70O in the bank when. one day Alexander Graham Bell ask ca him to take stock in his telephone. At first he thought he would. Our 1lrst impressions are usually the best. ne even crossed the street to the oank, but on the bank steps he hesi- Jated. He did not have much red eolood, always suffered from cold Ieet He turned and went back. If ne ne nad invested he would have made $4.500OOO
 Henry Ford asked an old friend to put in $2000 when he was trying .o produce his utility car. The friend said he would the next morn lng' But that night he slept with ms head covered up and his feet out next 10 an open window, they were cold the next morning. Had he in- seso ses5ed he would have an income of $l3o,O00 a year.
 1et your oil and be in at the feast.
