SCHOOLS
BADLY DISRUPTED
TOO ROUGH HAZING OF SOPHO-
MORES STARTS BIG ROW
STRIKE AND FIGHT
(Palouse Republic)

It might as well be stated frankly
that there has been little difficulty
in the Palouse schools the past week.
but it can be safely said that the
schools have not gone to pot, as some
would make themselves believe. In
fact, at this time everything is NOV
ing along nicely, so far as The Re-
public can learn, and there is not rea-
son, with the faculty earnestly de-
string to promote the welfare Of the
pupils, and the pupils wishing to
make their years in school count for
as much as possible, why all should
not be tranquil the remainder of the
year.
The trouble, according to reports,
started with the boys of the junior
class hazing the boys in the sopho-
more class, and apparently doing
pretty complete job of it. In fact ad-
ministering punishment which was
beyond the point of fun, so far as the
sophomores were concerned. One re-
suit was the suspending of some of
the boys by Superintendent Bennett,
ard little later a sympathetic strike.
Another result was figh on Main
street Monday afternoon between J.
G. Andrews, father of one of the boys
who had been hazed, and Harry
Kamm, one of the juniors. There
was no demand for the ambulance and
the two beligerents paid fine of So
each for fighting.
The boys have all been reinstated
in school with the understanding, it
is reported, that there will be no more
hazing.
1t is to be sincerely hoped, for the
good of the schools, the community,
and all concerned, that there will be
no further difficulty

whole consolidated syndicate leases,
wells, refinery and all development
with pro rata share of profits and
you also get a five-acre lease as a
bonus, made to you outright If you
can't wire the money, then wire me
you are sending it and | will protect
you just the same. All l want to
know is how much l can depend on
so l will know how much to agree to
pay. The Abner Davis refinery to be
built at Irabell is on the cars EN- route.
The first Abner Davis drilling outfit
mas arrived, the crew on the ground
and the well starts at once The sec
ond and third Abner Davis drilling
rigs are on the way to Pecos field.
The Abner Davis refinery at Wichita
Falls has shipped fuel oil for drilling
to the Pecos valley. The Abner Davis
refinery at Fort Worth is supplying
gasoline and distillate for pushing the
-Pecos development. And this week
will see thousands of dollars in cash
paid out by Abner Davis to close big
deals that have been pending.
l am playing the big game for big
stakes for the Consolidated Syndicate
am playing it on a shoe string, so to
speak, because the little money | put
out to hold this property was not
drop in the bucket compared to the
millions in potential values | am safe
ly acquiring. This is an Abner Davis
trusteeship. This is the Consolidated
Syndicate deal. 1t is another Abner
Davis, man to man, profit-sharing
plan. Your money comes in to pay
out and develop the great properties
the first little money was risked on
to tie up. You benefit by my risk in
the big results. Your money comes in
to develop the values and earn the
dividends and you share all the way
through and on the ground floor, and
that is the reason why | can do with
a thousand dollars as much as the
cinch player can do with a million.
The name and fame of Abner Davis
has spread wherever newspapers are
read, and that is why thousands of
good red-blooded people wire me their
money to use-they know action
counts, and that | play the game on
the square. The better the deal and
the bigger the profits, the quicker 1
offer it to my friends
EASY TERMS
AOu Can pay pAU cash ana 9ZU
monthly until you pay $100, or you
can pay the whole 500 cash and re-
ceive your full membership.
5 ACRES FREE
The bonus of acres on each $1OO
paid in can only be given you on the
money paid in during the first 80 days,
because it will be impossible for me
to secure the acreage with which to
make good this bonus later than 80
days from now, for the simple reason
that during the first thirty days
must know what money will be avail
able during the first ninety days to
secure my acreage options. Prices
are advancing so rapidly that it will
be out of the question to get an acre
anywhere near drilling operations
even at $40 cash per acre.

1t was not until after the telegram
was delivered by messenger that l dis
covered the words, Nov, what do you
think of that were the delighted, sur
prised exclamation of the telegraph
girl, so l imagine that this is about
the way the hundreds of wise fellows
who stood off and said | will wait for
the pump to tell the truth about the
Bell well, feel now. Now that the
pump has spoken, Ira Bell has been
vindicated, Pecos geology proven and
even Abner Davis hasty judgment
backed up, the real big doing, are on
in the trans-Pecos oil country.
When the telegram was delivered it
failed to contain the surprise sentence,
''Now, what do you think of that?"
The fact that this girl was sufficiently
posted as TO unconsciously express
such amazement gave me the theme
for writing this ad The fact that so
many people will be brought sudden
ly to realization of what it means
to find a real live, snorting, gushing,
flowing oil well in the trans -Pecos

oil spouted high and the crowd shouted
with joy, l was silent-it did no more
than | expected but l was perhaps
somewhat happy that l had then in
my pocket the cream | went to get,
and got it at prices prevailing before
the doubters had been shown. My
guess is that every barrel of oil the
Bell we'll flowed on that auspicious
occasion enhanced the values | had
just acquired many thousands of dol
lars.
1t was the nerve to plunge at the
right moment that put me in position
to win big stakes later when proof
comes that my judgment was right.
So, when | wrote my famous Plunge
With-Me" advertisement, which ap-
peared in every big newspaper from
Boston to San Francisco, and from
Tampa, Florida, to Winnipeg, the re-
sponse was the greatest that has ever
greeted any of my offers. Hundreds
of kilograms have flooded my office
for the past seven days, and a stream
OF hundreds of thousands and tens of
thousands and then more and more
tens of thousands have come by wire,
special delivery and thousands more
by every mail.
RESULTS OF ONE WEEK
The tremendous success of my
worldwide campaign of direct to the
people, money raising through the
newspapers has placed at my disposal
a sum of money requiring six figures
to express.
This remarkable result enabled me
to hold the acreage l want at Pecos
to Immediately build our refinery at
Pecos-to acquire other thousands of
acres of leases in Texas. The dream
of years is now being realized. l have
ten thousand loyal financial support
ers behind me who are ready to fl
nance me in any good undertaking.
This makes success certain and it
makes that success big and quick, be-
cause l am equipped financially to do
the big things at the time when the
really big things are waiting for me.
FIRST GLIMPSE SUFFICIENT
l have spent thousands of dollars
on geology. l have spent thousands
more looking for anticlines. When l
walked down the old irrigation ditch
which circled around the sand hill in
the Pecos valley basin and saw where
the top had been scraped off both
sides of a perfect anticline, and then
saw an oil well spout its stream of
liquid gold that was drilled ON this
structure, did not wait for any more
geology or to see how much oil this
first well would make. This was all
the proof | wanted, and l am just as
sure that a great deep gusher sand will
lie struck as was Bell when he started
to prove his geological theory by
actually drilling this well.

Out of the first one hundred oil
men passing by, can point out ninety
nine who have made the big killings
in Texas look like ordinary ranchers,
1rillers, COW punchers, laborers and
truck drivers, with an occasional
white collar 10y among them. Half
Of these men are uneducated and lack
whole lot OF being the kind of mil
lionaires you read about in the society
pages But these oil millions are to
be had by the man with nerve to rush
in when the opportunity is offered.
These fools are the fellows who get
the acreage in time, play the game all
over the field, start in when the wells
start or even ahead of drilling, and
then sell a part Of their holdings to
the wise cinch-playing, wise oil kings
for big profit and then play the game
out for production to put them in the
millionaire and income tax-dodging
class. 1t don't take Wall street ex-
perts or financiers of any other class
to make money in oil.
Playing the oil game is like playing
baseball. Ii it's a long fly ball and
high wind, the player must go after
it from the crack Of the bat; he must
keep on going. Judgment and nerve
(guts) is needed to catch the hard
fly ball, and nerve and Judgment is
the real capital needed in oil 1t
takes the man with nerve-judgment
vision and one willing to pioneer,
hit the trail day or night with the
first report that a new strike is in
sight.
It's the man that is willing to take
a chance that has the only chance to
win big. A few dollars placed right,
at the right time, will make you more
money in oil than in a lifetime of
saving and toll.
DECIDED PROMPTLY
When l first saw the famous Bell
well in the Pecos field, with it's light
green oil Lubbling and suffering out
through the casing joints, running out
where gunny sacks had been cram

to see the oil gush over the derrick
or for it to be put on the pump. Ii

Chicago Grain Market

Chicago, Sept. 30-Big purchasing of Canadian wheat by millers in the United States had good deal to do with a severe break today in wheat values here The market closed heavy, 1-2 to g 1-4 cents net lower, with December 216 to PIT and March 210 3-4 to 211 1-4. Corn finished 1-2 cents down to 1-2 ad- vance, oats off 1 1-2 a 1 5-S to 1-2 cents, and provisions unchanged, to 50 cents lower
 Selling pressure on the wheat market here came largely from houses with northwestern connections and this fact appeared to give spuecial emphasis to word that further large amounts of Ca nadian wheat had been bought to come
 into the United States over and above the quantities announced yesterday At the same time export business from this country was aid to have met with a check Swiss, German and French buyers asserting they were offered wheat cheap- CT from elsewhere. India was said to have released 14.000.000 bushels for ex. port notwithstanding recent advices of
 widespread starvation there.
 Eestimates that the 1G0 corn cro1
 would exceed the government foreca st of S2,000,000 bushels had a bearish ef- 1 feet on corn, and so too, did big re- ceipts and apparent absence of fros, damage. Oats fell with other grain

Chicago, Sept. BOA declaration that the investigation of the 1919 worlds se- ries Baseball scandal would be continued by a special grand jury, was made in a statement issued today by Chief Justice Charles A. Mcdonald, who ordered the original inquiry. Every suspicious game, he declared, that has been played within the last IS months in either the National or the American league will come within The purview of the investigation.
 The investigation, which has resulted in the voting of true bills against eight White Sox players, including Chick" Gandil, who was not with the team this 10 accomplish. ITO this end" he added, the present grand jury will be incor- porated as a special body Saturday and will go ahead until it has sifted down the tvidcnce to the last discriminating fact. Every suspiciouD game which has been played within the last eighteen months in either league will be within the pur- view of the investigation. Because of the stattIte of limitations, that is as far back ss tho jury can go.
 There need be no doubt about the prosecution of guilty players and their co-conspirators None of those who have confessed has been granted immunity; in sact each has specifically waived it. Of course 1t will be natural for the presecu- tion to take into consideration services which the indicted men have performed for the state. but that does not mean they will escape indictment"
