This certificate is proof to you that
the man Who holds it is a thoroughly
competent dentist, and that he has
proven his competency by passing a
thorough and searching examination
before the board of dental examiners.
OUR PRICES ARE THE VERY
LOWEST consistent wifh the best

Should the bridegroom choose a

why the Santali Indians hold widows

is because they assert that in the

RICH, BUT DOESN'T KNOW 1T
Sailors Farm In Texas Turns Into
Oil Lake While He's
Gone.

Eastland, Tex-Somewhere on the
Seven Seas Eli Perkins is by all odds
the richest man in the United States
fortune has not yet come to him. His
father has been trying to locate him,
but what warship he Is on has not
been learned.
When Perkins enlisted in the navy
more than two years ago, he owned
farm Of so acres north Of here. The
soil Is poor and has an intrinsic agri-
cultural value of perhaps $500. When
Perkins entered the navy he left the
farm in charge of his father, with full
power to act in all matters connected
with 1t. With the first indications of
an oil boom the elder Perkins leased
the 80 acres for 25 cents an acre, re-
tanning for his son the usual one
eighth royalty of any oil that might
be produced.
When the field began to develop one
half of the one-elghth royalty was
sold for $4,000 cash, which sum was
deposited in a local bank to the credit
Of young Perkins. Now the big thing
has happened. The Sinclair Gulf Oil
company. which has lease on the so
acres, has brought in the largest well
upon the tract that there is to be
found in any of the central west Tex
as fields. 1t is producing crude petrol
cum at the rate of 10000 barrels
day, each barrel valued at 1925. The
present income of the young man is
about 81, 500 day. and with the bring
ing in of other wells upon the farm
1t may be increased several times this
sum. He could easily dispose Of his
royalty rights for $3,OOO.OOO.
