Do NOT S|CN.UP

You may have noticed lately that
Pres. Worst, head of the immigration
Bureau of the state tells you to hold
your land, as it is going to bring high
er prices. Now we have land compan-
les coming into our county listing up
land as fast as they can, in fact some
make the boast of trying to list ev-
eryone of our county.
There may be some farmers who
want to sell and if you list your land
with these strangers your chances
are very slim for selling, for every
farmer knows that any one or two
companies cannot sell whole coun-
ty, even two, three or four counties
as it is reported that some companies
are working. And suppose we get a
good crop and one neighbor wants to
buy the other out he cannot do so on
account Of the contract his neighbor
has entered into with these foreign
companies. Furthermore we have To-
cal land men and banks all over our
county who are here and engaged in
business in this county and if you want
to sell your land these men can take
care of you just as we'll and whole
lot better than these get rich quick
artists who are coming in here and
having you sign contract that will
take you 1S to "a months to get out
of.
The immigration department Of this
state also can take care Of your sales.
Send your description to DIR. John
Worst at Bismarck and he will send
the buyers to you. .
These companies will use men who
have lived formerly in this county OF
section of the state to come to you
but do not be deceived by them. They
are working for the other fellow now,
and are trying to work you.

STOCKS BREAK
ON OILRUMOR
Wall Street Hears Mexican
Ouakes Shook Bottom
Out of Wells.
By BRoADAN WALL.

New York, Jan. 12.-Money went
to is per cent today, and stocks
broke all the way. from a fraction
to IL points. The good went down
with the bad. for there was moth
ing against any particular stock.
Another earthquake in Mexico
helped the bears, as did also the
failure of the Supreme Court to
hand down a decision in the stock
tax cases. A minor decision of the
Supreme Court against certain rail-
roads added to the qualms Of the
faithful. when the big operators
began selling freely. liquidation
was Joined to short sales. There
were fitful rallies during the day,
but at the close the weakness was
sincere, with no effort on the part
of shorts to cover.
The high rate of call money was
surprise to the street, for al
though the local bank statement
was very bad. the situation as a
whole was good. as reflected In the
combined report of twelve regional
banks. Money was not plentiful,
even at the high rates.
Early in the day. Wall Street had
a report that a new earthquake. in
Mexico had shaken the bottom out
of the big oil wells. 1t was in vain
that official announcements were
made by the oil companies to the
effect that not only had there been
no damage in the oil fields, but that
the nearest earthquake was $50
miles away.
The announcement by the Standard
Oil Company that all oil wells in
Texas are falling rapidly sent down
not only little stocks. but made the
great Texas Oil Company stock break
IA points.
Automobile stocks were sold freely.
The result was a break Of 10 points
in General Motors; 4 in Studebaker
and Pierce Arrow. Kelly Springfield
broke rs points. and U. s. Rubber
was hammered ] points.
Industrial Alcohol sold down Ia

read with qualification one statement
which was made by Walker D.

In that statement confirmed one of
