GREAT EXCITEMENT IN
 WICHITA OIL FIELDS

Last Tuesday the Kemp Munger Allen Deep Test We'll in Southwestern corner of Wichita County, Texas, blew itself in at depth of about 1750 feet; 2,000 barrel gusher.
 Stock in this company jumped over night from $10O.00 per share to $3,- 250.00, and has now been withdrawn from the market altogether.
 Thousands of dollars changed hands that day for leases in this To- cality, and prices are soaring.
 The Texas Bankers Oil Company organized for $60,00O, capital stock, on 60 acres of land located 400 yards from this well, and sold out it's stock in two hours on the Board of the Gen. tral Oil Exchange in Wichita Falls. They put an ad in the Wichita Falls Daily Times, but sold the stock before the paper came out.
 This gives you some idea of what well means in a new oil pool.
 This section has had shallow pro- duction for sometime, but this is the first deep test, and was made on the advice of geologists, who claimed it to be LAKE of oil-not a pool-that will astound the oil world.
 This we'll is only one-half mile from our holdings in the Pace Tract.
 Do You Realize What This Means to
 the Value Of Our Stock?
 We have never dotted very largely on this tract, while we felt sure de- velopment would prove its value. We could not say so until it was proven, but we have shown our prospective

OIL WELL PROVED FAKE.

Melville, Oct. 25.-A we'll known citizen of this town returned home today from the Texas oil fields, where he made a company which has been advertising heavily in Ar kansas disgorge the proceeds of a block of stock, which they sold him and his friends. The stock was pur- chased several months ago on the strength of it being located in a cer- tain block in which there were a number of producing wells and with which they were well acquainted. Upon investigation he found that the real location was many miles away from where the blueprint purported it to be; that it was a placer claim, the location of which had never been recorded nor corners marked.

can banking system.
Here is industry which makes it possible for houS
ands of other businesses exist which would be wiped out
in day without our banks.
The banking industry met the strain of war and its
unforeseen demands upon financial strength without
and furnished the money for expanding industrial
activity in addition
Most remarkable of all it done without increasing
interest charges for exchange. Bank profits show
ed large increases instances but these made by
doing greater volume and varied line of business
The bank didn't increase charges when the price of wheat
and hogs went up.
The agitator points volume of business done by
industry compares this with the capital invested and then
stir envy eaousy and dissatisfaction among the
people.
The public is beginning to however, that it is the
amount profit the individual transaction and not the
gross profit of transactions which has to do with the
increased cost of living.
When the present Investigations relative to the high
cost of living concluded it will be that the indus
tries doing the greatest volume of business due to the largest
turnover did it lower proportion of cost to the consm
er than the smaller businesses having smaller turnover
Gross profits on total business done indication Of

It's the amount profit made every time 500 is turned
