INVESTORS
OF
Ell Centro

Imperial Ventu "a Oil
Company, working under
State Corporation Permit
No. 9757, wishes to announce
that on Saturday, May 18th,
1920, for the benefit Of the
investing public at Ell Centre,
it will have it's representa-
tives, Mr.. c.. A. Hartman
and Mr.. Jack R. Hallman, at

stock. These gentlemen will
be located at 534 Main St.,
and will remain all day. They
will be glad to talk over the
matter of the investment in
Imperial Ventura stock with
all who may be interested.
Only a short time can be
devoted to this work and
those seeking such invest
ment should not miss this
opportunity.
Imperial Ventura Oil Com
pany emphasizes two points
in selling it's stock:
First: That it's holdings
are in Ventura county near
the town of Piru, and prac-
tically within the proven oil
field between Newhall and
Ventura, thus .-bespeaking
the safety of the investment.
Second: It's small capital
ization, being only $4,000,
thus making it an invest
ment and not speculation,
and insuring that the small
stockholder will get some
thing out of it when oil is
found.
Do not fail to meet our rep
resentatives on Saturday.

fare Of the Williamsburg Hospital will be
asked TO assist tho institution in raising
$4,000, which is the minimum amount re-
quired to carry on the work OF the hos

cisls OF the hospital reported that on No
vembor l the hospital owed about 81 ,922. 80
in unpaid bills. and by January l this
amount had increased TO about s.. 500. whicn

From November 1, 1918. to November /.
1919. there were admitted to the hospital
l,62S patients. OF this number liz paid full
cost, while the balance. 1876. paid part cost

sponded to 3.6lS calls, gave 1873 treatments
in the dispensary and 3,757 treatments In
the emergency room.
In speaking fer the hospital Mr.. Fisher
said that this record needed no further
comment. He added that the overhead
charges this year are heavier than last

most as high as last year. and the wages
of nurses and employees are much higher.

SPANISH CONSERVATIVES
READY TO UNITE AGAIN

MADRID, Thursday.-Rumors were cur
rent after the adjournment of the Cortes
today that different Conservative groups
had agreed to reunite and form n COM
bination against all other elements in the
Cortes 1t was said that former Premier
Dato would make an announcement relo-
tive to this step early next week, and that
it probably would settle the political
troubles of Spain, at least for the present.
There was no confirmation OF this rumor
to be had this evening.
The controversy between Juan de -
Cierva, leader of the opposition party Is.
the Cortes and the President of that
body which made great sensation IN
political circles yesterday. was QUICKLY
settled this afternoon when the House
resumed it's session. All the members who
walked out Yesterday were in their places.
and Sefior Cierva asked the President to
explain his action when he refused to
permit the opposition leader to continue
an address.
The President said political discussions
in the Cortes should last only two hours,
and that as this time had elapsed since
the debate had begun he had no choice
in the matter. Sefor Cierva accepted the
explanation and continued the address
which was interrupted by the Presidents
action. He repeated his charge that Mel
ouiades Alvarez leader of the Reformist
party, was revolutionary. and that 1t was
impossible to put the government or spain
in his hands.

WIN CHINESE TRADE,

John X. Sague and Others Speak at
Luncheon of the China Society
In America.

II IS tho duty OF Americans 10 foster the
trust and confidence which the Chinese
have for them. declared Or. Paul :.
Reinsclfs formerly United States Minister
to China, at a luncheon of the China So
ciety Of America in tho Lawyers Club
No. 115 Broadway, yesterday.
John k- Sague, president of the society,
presided. Julian Arnold. American com.
mereial attache at Pelxing also spoke,
James Farrell. Judge Ebert II. Gary
William f. Corey and other prominent
men were present
DR.. Reinsch said Americans should have
special interest in the Chinese who have
"for some reason feeling Of trust and
confidence toward the citizens of the
United States and desire to learn and
adopt American social and business ways
of life.
For Americans. Or. Reinsch said. trade
opportunities in China are beyond COM
parison. The only trouble at present. he
said, lies in the very high rates of eX-
change. The balance OF trade is against
America, he said, but tho chance to offset
this balance was never better than now.
Other nations are active in China, DR..
Reinsch said, but none of them has the
standing with the Chinese enjoyed by the
United States. Chinas need. he said, is
economical development, and there is room
for American capital guided by American
business methods.
Mr. Arnold declared that it was time
Americans should recognize that the
United States is n Pacific Power, with
and duties as such. IL it
is TO live UP to it's ideals the nation, he
Sc id, must meet these duties and response
biities. He deplored tho lack of interest
in and knowledge of thirgs Chinese among
american citizens The opportunities for
of the people of this country
in China are unexampled, he said and III
his opinion 1t would be crime. i'll states
to overlook them.
Mr.. Arnold urged that the China. Society
set behind the idea of teaching American
measures and business ideals in China
should be arranged in China to visualize
for the Chinese what America has 10 offer.
With Asia separated from the United
States by a narrow strip OF water, Mr..
Arnold said he believed the time would
come when direct rail connection by tunnel
Bchring Strait would be estab-
iished between China and the United
States.
