ROLL CALL WILL
BE CONTINUED
Every Person in City to Have Chance
to Join Red Cross.

At a meeting of the executive COM
mittee and the team captains yester-
day afternoon, it was decided to con-
tinue the Red Cross roll call until
everyone had been given an oppor-
tunity to enroll.
w. X. Flyer, chairman of the roll
call, said last night that the campaign
will probably be continued for sew
eral days, as there are many who have
not vet been asked to subscribe.
Many towns in the county have not
yet been heard from, and the business
district has not been entirely covered
so 1t is impossible to estimate the re-
turns. according to headquarters last
night.
Owing to the fact that the season Il
an unusually busy one. and that the
rainy weather and the celebration OF
ArTnistice Day, prevented a number OF
the mems team from soliciting, it il
believed that the next three days viii
| lineup a number who have failed to'
subscribe.

Wildcatting a Necessity.

Few persons realize what un- ceasing effort is necessary to se- cure a sufficient supply of crude oil in this country.
 The decrease of oil-well pro- duction and the increase in the demand by tens of millions of barrels yearly compel producers to expend large sums in pros pecting new territory. For this reason wildcat wells" are drill ed outside the limits of produc- ing pools. This is a good deal of a gamble.
 The largest part of all the known oil-fields is either being operated by companies, or has been withdrawn by the govern ment.
 Less than two-tenths of one per cent of the oil area in Penn sylvania is productive. More than half of Wyoming's produc- tion is within a space of six square miles. The noted Tepe- tate-Casiano pool in Mexico, which has produced 75,000,000 barrels of oil in eight years, is only one mile wide and four long. Much pioneer work must be done to insure supplies of oil.
 The national policy in recent years, of withdrawing oil areas from entry as soon as discovered by prospectors, coupled with re- fusal to pass leasing measures or grant relief to claimants on withdrawn lands is rapidly dis couraging the development of new territory and our reserve oil supply is declining in face of an increasing demand.
 Why this dog in the manager policy is continued by congress is hard to understand -Monta- bello (Cal.) News.

FARMERS IN BEST
 FINANCIAL SHAPE
 OF REGENT YEARS
Smooth Transition of Agricul- ture to Peace Basis Predicted
 by Federal Reserve Board

American farmers are in better financial shape than they have been for years, according to recent report of the Federal Reserve Board at Wash ington, which also predicts a smooth transition of agriculture and industry from a war to @ peace basis. The boards review of economic conditions throughout the country is based on detailed reports made to it by the governors of the twelve federal re- Serve banks.
 "The farmer is said to be in the best financial shape for many years,R the review says. Tn the South he is able to hold his cotton for better prices and is marketing his output conservatively.
 Excellent crop prospects are re- ported from the wheat states of the West and from California. On the Pacific Coast the prospects for excel lent crops are exceedingly bright"

Cable the Peace Conference

Americas prestige is at stake in the coming Victory Liberty Loan. The eyes of the world are fixed upon us. The nations of the world are going to rate us on this last effort. It is right that they should judge us, not by what we do in the heat of the strug- gle, but by our condition after the fight.
 One of the best guarantees of world peace for years to come would be the successful Notation of the Victory Lib erty Loan for five or six billion dol lars. Even a combination of powers inclined to start another war would hesitate in the face of such display of tremendous national strength.
 Every man who buys a Victory Lib erty Bond next April, moreover. will be adding to the determination with which America speaks at the Peace Conference. There are undoubtedly going to be many moments during that Conference when every whit of the power of the United States will be needed to shape into actualitles those ideals for which we entered the world struggle.
 Let the cables carry into the Quai d'Orsay this message:
 America has oversubscribed her Fifth Liberty Loan by more than a billion dollars"

BORN OF WAR

It is difficult yet to value accurately or in some instances to perceive all the war has brought to our national life or pruned from it. The things we think little now may appear to posterity the greatest. The Thrift Stamp idea seems to be one of these. Originated as war emergency meas uFe, 1t has taken hold; has appealed to the common sense of America, and may yet shape the destiny of the nation.
 It is patent, now that the war is over, that the Thrift Stamp has come to stay. If we get nothing else out of the war but the habit of saving, which begets the corollary simple living, we will have reaped the full fruit of the war. For a thrifty democracy is firm democracy, potent democracy, 8 democracy strong enough to pre- serve itself.
 A man who saves is a better citizen than the man who does not save. He becomes a stockholder in his govern ment and he is jealous for the vel fare of that government in war and In peace. In war he will fight for it with his life. In peace he will protect It from those who would tear down.
 As America saves from this day on so shall she grow in benign power and In the eyes of mankind. "A bank ac- count for every, American citizen" should be one of our national slogans.
 The Thrift and War Savings Stamp Idea is freighted with mighty change for the better in our national life.
 The Thrift Stamp is backed by the United States government Without aoubt it is the greatest investment er offered and it is in such form Eaat every American, big and IitsIe. gan take advantage O. it.

"OiIs Again the
Market Feature

This phrase recurs every few days in the telegraphed reports of the New York stock market. Railroad stocks hesitate, indus trials tend to decline pending the period of uncertainty as to the future course of business devel- opments, bonds are doubtful as to the out look, but oils are firm, or bouyant, or advancing.
 Oil stocks, like all other stocks that steadily advance, have ire quently small reactions. After several days of continuous rise, the speculators on the long side sell, to realize profits, with the intention of going in again after the market has dropped few points while absorbing the real izing sales. This sort of a tenn porary drop is not real decline. It is natural readjustment for future rise.
 "Oils Again the Feature of the Market" has been the most ire uuent headline in stock market reports since the armistice. It will probably appear with in- creasing frequency after the peace is signed. It has no doubt ful reconstruction period before it, as have all other groups of Wall street stocks. Neither is it returning to former conditions. Before the war oil stocks were seldom mentioned in the reports of transactions on the New York Stock Exchange. They were relegated to the Curb, an outside market for stocks that could not gain admission to the big exchange. But now one large oil company after another is being admitted and listed among the elite. These stocks are rapidly commanding increas- ed attention in the great stock market and seem destined to be- come the market leaders. Moth ing could be more important. If they are prominent in the New York stock market as leaders. they will soon become market leaders in all the great stock markets of the world. Indeed, we seem to be entering a new in- vestment and speculative era, in changed world.-Mine and Lands).

QUOTAS OF LOAN
 WILL DEPEND ON
 WAR STAMP SALES
Oversubscriptions of January and February Savings Cam paign AIlotments to Re
 duce Loan Task

Victory Liberty Loan quotas of the Twelfth Federal Reserve District are to be determined in some measure by. the amounts loaned the government by each district in War Savings Stamps during January and February. If a district oversubscribes it's War Savings Stamp quotas for the first two months of the year, its Victory Liberty Loan quota will be decreased to the extent of the oyersubscription. Conversely, if district fails to reach its January and February Stamp quo tas, its Liberty Loan quota will be increased.
 When Lewis B. Franklin, director, of the War Loan Organization, was in San Francisco recently, he revealed that on the day the armistice was signed there was in progress in Wash ington meeting to formulate plans for the continuous sale of Liberty Bonds-such plan as governs the sale of Thrift and War Savings Stamps. Moreover, the Liberty Bond and War Stamps work was to be closely coordinated.
 These plans were immediately dis carded when the Germans signed the armistice and when Secretary of the Treasury Glass took office he an
 nounced that the Victory Liberty Loan would be the last. In the face of sug. gestions that the Victory Loan be put on cold commercial basis, he added that the men making these sugges- tions were discounting the patriotism of the American people and he would depend upon the patriotism of the American people rather than place Sc. curities of the United States govern ment upon a plane with the paper of private corporations.

Love Letters in Hymn Book,

A pair of lovers who had been for bidden to speak or write, attended the same church, and their plan was the exchange of hymn books. As the young man was an officer of the church he did this little job before service. Most delightful and satisfac- tory love letters could be pieced to- gether by following certain lead-pencil marks, and in order to elude even a Sherlock Holmes of the household, the letters were made to read from the end to the beginning of the book.

NOTICE
To Owners and Prospective Purchasers of Lots in the Clark Addition

Clark Addition
 1 have just been author ized by MT. W. H. Clark, now of Los Angeles, to pro- ceed with contract for plac- ing five-foot sand and gravel sidewalks in front of all un- sold lots, and for the ditch ing, grading and graveling of all adjacent streets in the Clark Addition, provided similar work will be done by the present owners. When this work is completed all lots in the addition will inn mediately increase in value fully fifty per cent, and will make the property the most desirable in Holbrook. With this end in view, I have per fected arrangements with competent road-builders to give us a 40-foot graded street, with one-foot ditch at curb, with two-foot raise in center, 12 feet of which street will be piked with a sufficient depth of gravel; and also a 5-foot substantial sand and gravel sidewalk. The total cost for all this work per 25-foot frontage will be $6. This price will be added to all unsold lots, and those who have already purchased may secure the work upon the payment to me of the price mentioned. Whether you have bought these lots upon which to build a home, or for specu- lation, this 6per cent invest ment will increase the value of your property fifty per cent, and since we expect to start work within the next few days, l will ask you to advise me immediately of your decision. With your cooperation we can make the Clark Addition lots double in value within the next ninety days, without waiting for oil. Let's get together build some homes, put in some real streets, build some sidewalks, plant some trees, install some street lights, and show the rest of Holbrook that it does not al- ways pay to be close in.
 On account of bad weather, which made it impossible for many prospective purchasers to see this property during the last week, the advance in price advertised to become effective on February 15, will not become effective un- til Tuesday morning, Feb. 18th.
 About $28, worth of these lots have been recently sold, yet by reason of the west end, (directly north of the high-school building) having just been plated, there yet remain un sold very fine lots.
 Monthly payments on con- tracts may be made to the undersigned or to either of the local banks.
