Possibilities Ofa Well
Managed Big Company

1t IS safe to assert that no other industry in the
world today offers such great possibilities of profits as
the business of producing oil. The investing public is
turning almost soidly to oil securities and are reaping
rich and almost undreamed of profits.
An essential ingredient of success, and, in fact,
one of its prerequisites is capable business manage
ment.
Luck may be a factor, but Pluck, Brains, Expe-
renee and Honesty will surely Win.
The Tex-O-Kan Petroleum Company has at its
head an experienced and capable oil man. Its officers
and directors were selected for their we'll known abil-
iy and high character.
Its properties are so ~favorably located, so closely
surrounded with successful development, so alluring
in their promise of great profits that we offer the stock
of this company at 5000 per share, feeling confident
that the stakeholder will have dividend paying invest
ment within a short time.
Those who have organized this company expect
to develop it into a great, permanent, successful bust
ness. II. only the smallest of its tracts in the BESIDE
mona and Ranger fields should turn out to be pro-
ducers it should be worth several million dollars.
The possibility of profits on all of this vast acreage
is too great for computation.
THE NORWOOD AND THE PERKINS WELLS
LIE SOUTH AND EAST OF OUR EIGHTY ACRES
IN STEPHENS COUNTY.
THE NORWOOD WELL HAD AN initial pro-
duction of oil reported at better than 10000 barrels per
day. The financial statement showed that it produced
and delivered into the pipe lines over 81 ,787, 100000
worth of oil in about the fret four months
THE FAMOUS PERKINS WELL, drilled by Huff,
Root & Duff, lying between the Norwood we'll and
our EIGHTY ACRES, produced over 10000 barrels

now producing from 500 to 1000 barrels of oil per day.

I am coming for advice also, but
on a different subject. My husband
died some years ago. / was left with
four real young children. It took so
much to get along and get every
thing paid up after so long a seige
of sickness. worked hard and got
along fine, my children have reach
ed the age of school now, we have
had a good deal of sickness and the
worst of all when the flu went
through the home everyone had it,
but we all recovered. 1t left us
without much strength and means
and how we will be able to get along
this summer is hard to realize. Still
we are not in despair, but would
like to do work that would help us
along, or would there be any chance
for getting a pension from the gov
eminent. / do not think 1t would
be impossible to pay it back some
day perhaps, but at present 1t does
not look very favorable.
A WORRIED MOTHER.
The government would hardly
give you a pension, but when sum
mer comes and II you find yourself
without funds, state your case to the
welfare board and they will probably
be able to advise you.

An ExcentionaI Girl.

Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee:
! Like many others I am going To
bother you with my heart problems
/ am 19-year-old "steno," not es-
pecially pretty. not especially at
tractive and not especially popular
with boys. All for which l sorrow
but cannot help, so I am resigned to
my fate.
What 1 want to know is this:
Should I give up the friendship OF
a young man who has quite a ques-
tionable reputation for the sake OF
my own reputation? Although
have explained to him that l can
never be anything but simply a
friend yet he said he would try to
be satisfied. He says that the friend
ship of a good girl will help him
to keep straight. He calls me his
little pal" ....
Now that would be all right but
for something else. I'd be perfectly
willing to be his little pal if it didn't
cost me so dearly. For two years
1 have gone with a fine young man
who is now % years of age. He has
a strong character, but more than
his share of pride. We have had
little tiffs off and on, which, by the
way, invariably ended by my yield
ing, but love him dearly, and /
know he loves me.
We are not engaged and he is
broadminded enough to let me look
at another man once in a while He
said this time, though. that it had
gone too far. We had a perfectly
terrific quarrel, and he said as he
left me that evening, you can't be
his friend and also be mine" That
was three weeks ago, and although
tried to explain at the time, yet I'm
afraid / made a bungle of it all. He
hasn't spoken to me since, and 1t
hurts me very much.
Tell me, please, what shall do?
/ want to be fair to the first boy, be-
cause. he has always been a perfect
gentleman around me. But I'm
afraid I'll let my selfish love get
away with me and give him up, be-
cause the man love desires it.
I'm afraid this letter sounds fool
ish, but please answer it anyway,
because I'm so mixed up and my
emotions are so conflicting that 1
can't decide anything for myself.
Thanking you sincerely,
"BOBBIE."

fore the Omaha Society of Fine
Arts Saturday at $3.50 at the Fonte-
nellie hotel. Lieutenant Roselli made
two tours of American universities
and colleges. extending south to
Texas and west to the Pacific coast.
These tours were initiated by Presi-
dent Bumpus of Tufts college be-
cause of the deep impression made
by Lieutenant Roselli's address up
on the faculty and the student body.
AT first an unofficial representa-
tive of the Italian army, using his
Through for a temporary return,
Lieutenant Roselli has had the
double satisfaction of seeing the Of
fetal stamp of approval placed
upon his work by the royal Italian
government and of seeing the inter
allied policies, which he so warmly
advocated, supported with increas-
ing vigor by our own government,
and by American public opinion.
Before the outbreak of the war
Lieutenant Roselli was for SIX years
professor in Adelphi college. Up
on the entrance of Italy into the
war, he returned to volunteer, and
entered the ranks as a private. His
ability and bravery readily won his
promotion. He came to America
direct from the firing line, reaching
this country on the eve of the great
Italian disaster.
