To the Conservative
Investor

We want to tell you first of all that we
have a proposition that must appeal
to you from every standpoint of cOnser-
vatism.
We will tell you that this company
owns a lease of 10 acres IN the Proven
Field of Burkburnett. This IN itself Is
proof enough that we have a conserva-
tive investment proposition, but we are
not going to stop by telling you this little
bit. But also to impress upon you the
wonderful possibilities that are sure to
be realized on this project of ours. Our
lease IS located IN the heart of produc-
tion-so near are we to three producing
wells that one can hit any of their der
ncks with stone-the only thing that
IS between US is a County road and
barbed wire fence.
This acreage will permit Of putting
down ten wells. We have not reserved
any of this land for Number 2 or 3
company. Our stockholders will dictate
whether we will sink additional wells;
if this is done it will be by taking part
of the profits of the production of the
first well to cover the expense of future
developments. You will get dollars
worth of oil development for every one
hundred cents you put in with US.

"Chimmy" at THE Farm"

BY william ". ". stephens
11th Engineers, U. s. A.
"Chimmy" was a joyful soul, re
had q heart of gold;
He volunteered in April. seven
teen.
He did his share of digging-obeycd
what he was told
Was a patriotic soldiers what I
mean.
A laughing. scratching dough-boy,
his heart was virgin pure,
And he brought our spirits back
with many a smile.
He taught us Patriotism" was to
hang on and endure
That "Humor" was sovereign
balm worth while.
One day the music ended among
the Argonne hills,
And "Chimmy," on permission,
went away
In search of relaxation and to taste
Partisan thrills
To linger where the lights of dal-
lance play.
And he fingered like a soldier till
his pass was overdue;
Then because his heart was hon.
est, true and large,
Instead of sneaking out of town as
wiser soldiers do,
charge.
To the Bastile then they sent him,
and snapt him into line;
They beat him up as was the
fashion there.
They taught him "hard-boiled" Of
ficers possess the right di-
vine
To instill the sacred doctrine of
Despair.
And then, for more instruction
they sent him to the Farm;
But, alas, the Farm Is nothing
but name.
For irony is savage when this term
of rural charm
Means only broken hearts and
bitter shame.
Twas at the Farm" where
"Chimmy" lost his patriotic
His soul was shriveled up by
Satan's fire,
His righteous indignation brushed
righteousness aside
And famed the flame of anarch-
istic ire.
Now "Chimmy" is Bolshevist-he
bears another flag
Than that for which he suffered
toiled, and bled,
With purpose just as earnest-with'
out brag;
But the banner held aloft i:
shameless red!

wage raise has in turn helped to
lift the cost of living still higher.
Now at last, we are glad to say, the
truth is dawning on the labor lead
ers and politicians.
w. G. Lee, president of the train
mems union, for example says: "AIl
of US are to blame, because we are
making every effort to get more
money for ourselves" 1t does no
good, he says, to keep on boosting
wages, as the raises are all eaten up
by the increased cost of living;
hence some new solution must now
be found. Senator Myers of Mont.
calls it "an endless chain" of wage
boosting and price-boosting. The
New York World diagnoses it as "a
vicious circle in which all are in
volved."
The demagogs lay it all on the
profteers. Formerly the trusts
were the scapegoat for everything,
but the Democrats promised to do
away with all the trusts and SC,
presumably, they are no longer in
existence. But the same old crowd
are still operating under a new
name.

Asks Picked immigration

Mayor Ole Hanson, in an address
before the National Editorial Asso-
citation, proposed a plan to foster
Americanism by improving the con-
dition of teachers, fostering home
and family, and inaugurating the
selective admission and scientihc
distribution of immigrants.
During the last 100 years we have
admitted over 30,000,000 aliens"
said Mayor Hanson, most of whom
have been assimilated and become
| real American citizens. The hap
| hazard method of their admittance
/ and the lack of scientific distri-
| button, however, have resulted in
many undesirables coming to our
| land and also in the herding together
of large numbers in the congested
districts of our large cities, creating
slums, with all their attendant evils.
TT seems to me that we must
stand for the selective admission and
scientific distribution of aliens. Sup
pose the intending immigrant was
compelled to pay, say $50 to our
representative in a foreign land, to
be used for the purpose of investi-
CATION and examination, the pros
| pective citizen to sign a question
naire giving full particulars of him
self and his experience, in order
that we might be informed as to his
record, training, and character. If,
then, the intending immigrant is
found to be all right, and We find
need such a person in some part of
our country, he would be allowed to
enter; but his destination would be
that part of our country where he
Under N1r present system thou
sands of experienced, skillful farm
ers stop in our great cities and be-
come sweatshop workers. This is
abhorrent to all order and efficiency.
1t is a pure waste of human ma
terial.
81 have known thousands of men
| to be idle in New York city while
thousands more get off the boats
from farming districts and remain
in New York instead of going to
Kansas or some other farming State
where men are, badly needed. This
makes it bad for our country and
increases unemployment in our
cities.
1T is my belief that the affairs of
! the United States should be con-
Quoted primarily for the United
States. The plan of selective ad-
mittance and scientific distribution
| would De or mutual Denent TO the
immigrant as we'll as to our coun-
try"
Mayor Hanson said in regard to
school teachers that in 1918 the aver
age teachers pay for the United
States was $1.4S per day. This year
the pay will be $1.63. The treat
ment of educators, he said, made
them feel hostile toward the Gov
ernment, and if private employer
paid such wages the people would
tar and feather him.
Next month";" he continued, "25,-
10000 children go to these $4,000
teachers to study and have their
characters nodded. 1t must be that
you can see the outrageous wrong
of such a condition. If you like
of such a condition. If you blink at
the wrong, how about the danger to
our institutions when the teachers
are antagonistic?"

Queen of FloUerS

There came at purple even
An angel from the skies,
To bear a gift of Heaven
To gladden. human eyes;
So now I see adorning
My green and dewy lawn
This flower of the morning,
Born at the early dawn
Thou art the Queen of Flowers,
Thou sweet, enchanting rose,
The fairest in the bowers,
Kissed by the breeze that blows;
So sway my heart forever.
And make it beauty's throne,
That I, indeed, may never
Dwell in this world alone.
Upon the tir ascending
How fragrant is thy breath,
With dainty odors blending
Beyond the lands of death;
The holy incense offered
Upon the golden shrine
The sweetest ever proffered
Before the throne divine.
I'll pluck thee for the maiden
Who pledged her love to me,
Whose heart is richly laden
With it's sincerity;
She shall become the wearer
OF thee, my rose divine,
For none indeed is fairer
Than this sweetheart of mine.

Common Sense in Students
From Columbus Dispatch. ]

IFrom Columbus Dispatch.1
Columbia University professors
are going to find out in advance
whether a student has common
sense,
It's a splendid idea, if only the
test amounts to anything. That is
the trouble with virtually all "ex-
aminers;" their tests are not efficient.
A professor will spend a week pre-
pairing an examination which a
student is supposed to pass in few
hours, when as likely as not the
professor himself couldn't have
passed the test had he not spent n
week preparing for 1t. Any man
ought to be able to work out set
of questions that even a college pro-
fessor couldn't make 10 per cent.
grade in answering.
We are greatly impressed with
the common sense of the professors
who propose to find out whether
other people have it. One of them
saws that one test will be 'to tell at
a glance how many small boxes
are inside a larger one" and adds
that the object is TO show "how
constructive imagination manipu-
lates concrete visual imagery"
We'd hate to have our common
sense" rated by a professor who
used such language in stating q
simple proposition

In the White House. Here we have
President whose demands for the
return of a Democratic Congress
were ignored by the voters. whe Is
a minority executive at this very
moment. as he was when he went
into the White House. insisting that
his viii and opinions shall be su-
premei that the United States SEN
ate's composite brain Is not so great
as his, that no Senator has any
thing TO suggest worth consideration
and that the whole country viii so
to pot unless he, and he alone, be
permitted to dictate its policies.
And who do We find his obodient
spokesman In Washington Mono
other than tho Same Senator Hitch
ernlly rubbed in the dirt because he
dared to stand UP for efficiency in
the War Department during the
war. Carrying out the Presidents
idea OF rallying the treaty's friends
to defend 1t against amendment,
Senator Hitchcock announced that
he would address the Senate this
week, earnestly urging that no con-
siderstion be given any proposition
for an amendment no matter how
great the need for it may appear to
be.
The United States would have to
go to Germany. hat in hand, and
beg her to accept our peace terms"
said the Senator.
According to Mr.. Hitchcock, the
President said that If the Senate
forced the making of a new treaty
he would send Senators Knox and
Lodge to Berlin to negotiate it.
This Is the pettest kind of child
ish chatter. The President sees his
imperial will challenged by fearless
men. Dare to cross my purposes
and I'll punish YOU" he says, but
there are those in the United States
who would not be averse to having
the nation represented in a peace
conference by Senators Knox and
Lodge. Indeed, as the President
may recall, there was very urgent
demand that they be sent abroad
with him when he first went TO
France. II the worst comes to the
worst, we suspect that the two
learned and patriotic gentlemen
named could get from Germany in
the way of peace guarantees quite
as much as the President appears
to have secured. At all events this
arrogant occupant of the White
House must be taught the lesson
that we taught the Kaiser-that
America is a real democracy and
will not tolerate autocracy in any
form, either at the hands of dicta-
torial monarch or a self-willed
President. Doesn't he know that
compromise has entered into every
nota BILE document ever approved by
the United States Senate-even to
the Federal Constitution itself? Does
he place himself above Washing
ton and Lincoln?

Dog Days and the Dog Star
IFrom the New York Tribune. ]

! lFrom the New York Tribune1
Two newspaper readers are in
| dispute regarding the beginning and
ending of dog days" and ask for
an opinion on the subject. The
query, coming so soon after the
demonstration of st. Swithin's pow-
er to decree forty days of rain,
! again emphasizes the tenaciousness
OF weather superstitions. For, while
the st. SWithin fiction goes back
only to early England, the belief
in period of the year DESIGNATED
as dog days" comes down from
the Romans and, through them,
from the Egyptians.
TO answer, first, the query, IL may
be said there is no immovable date
for the arrival of dog days" The
dog days" are governed by the
rising and setting of the Dog Star,
or Sirius and this is varying date,
not only moving forward. but diff
fering slightly in different parts of
! the world.
The Egyptians, like other primi-
| tive peoples, watched the heavens
! closely and observed that the rising
| of one prominent star came with
the annual overflow of the Nile, the
one great event of the Egyptian
year. So the priests of the of the
Pharaohs decided that this star
either caused the overflow or was
sent as warning, and in gratitude
they called the star by a name sig
! nifying watch dog"
! But the same star came to the
Romans at the beginning of a per-
iod OF great heat and much sick
ness, and they were convinced that
the added heat of the summer was
due to the star. One of their writer's
records:
"The day of the stars first rising
In the morning the sea boils, wine
turns sour, dogs begin to go mad
the olle increases and irritates and
all animals grow languid. The dis
eases 1T usually occasions in man
are burning fevers, Mysteries and
| phrensies."
To appease Sirius the Romans
every year sacrificed a brown dog
Inc discovery later by astrono-
ners nrn tnat sirius was something like
100 billion miles from the earth
rendered it rather improbable that
any OF its heat could make itself
perceptiole here, but the supersti-
tion as to dog days" still persists
and with it the notion that dogs
are particularly prone to run mad
at this season, thus perpetuatinR a
Roman belief. There are many
persons who suppose that the desig-
nation dog days" is given because
OF this supposed canine propensity
! to rabies.
And where is the boy who has not
looked askance at the old SWIM
ming hole at this period of the year,
having been warned by an old fash
ioned mother that there is some
thing noxious about the water dur
ing dog days?"

ARE YOU INTERESTED?

MOT content with the many con-
N structive and helpful things
which have already been un-
dertaken by the Rotary Clubs of the
United States, the big organization is
now planning to plant trees by the
thousands in honor of the sailors
and soldiers in the war. The Amer
lean Forestry Association is cooper
ating by giving certificates of regis
tration showing the trees that have
been entered on the National honor
roll the association is compiling.
The Rotary Clubs will thus be able
to give a certificate of registration
to the next of kin.
In some cities the Rotarians are
arranging for the planting of me-
mortal groves and Milwaukee now
has under way campaign for
$4,000 for Transforming a park into
a memorial grove. At Cleveland
victory oaks" have been planted
along one of it's boulevards and
dedicated in memory of the soldiers.
San Francisco also has a Hero
Grove" which was planted by COM
mittee representing every civic and
religious body in the city. The Rich
mond Rotary Club has plans under
way for the planting of 5000 trees,
onetfor every man who entered the
service.
Here in Harrisburg such a plan
would mean about 5000 trees and
would constitute fine piece of civic
enterprise. Chicago, Detroit and
other cities are also engaged in SIM
liar work and Harrisburg is ready
for like tree-planting campaign.
All that is needed is definite and
practical leadership which We be-
lieve the Rotary Club here is cap
able Of assuming.
No city in the country is more in
need of a community effort of this
sort than our own and with trees
planted as memorials there would be
the additional incentive of useful
movement that would honor the
dead and benefit the living.
A tree-planting program could
easily be arranged that would in
vite the cooperation of every citi-
zen. No great expense would be
involved, inasmuch as the owner of
property would pay only the cost
of the tree or trees which might
be set out on his premises. An ex-
| ample of this sort of cooperation
is the avenue of elms on Front
street between Harris and Division,
the original city boundary. These
trees along the east side were plant
ed by agreement of the property
owners at one time and give as
! surance of a splendid avenue of
long-lived trees on the citys prin-
cipal boulevard. The same plan
might be adopted for other high
