Brewster, Kinney, Val Verde and Ed
wards counties, southwestern Texas,

worked the territory for the big oil
companies. Active drilling is going
ON throughout southwestern Texas,

The very last chance you will
being created. There is no more
oil being deposited. But Texas has
a bountiful supply for all who have
the nerve to stry. ! am determined
that my friends and hackers shall
have the greatest chance for real
wealth that ever came to so many
people through the efforts of one
man.
There is no other way on earth
by which this opportunity to dis
tribute 100000 acres of Texas oil
and gas Pease-permits on school
lands could have ever come into
my hands except because my
friends have enabled me to climb
to a strong position as an oil de-
veloper and refiner. This conf
dence is due to the tangible re-
suits of my efforts along construc-
tive development lines in a few
short years.
So if I can turn 40 acres of
Texas oil and mineral rights over
to each of 10000 people, | will
have given to my friends the very
thing their backing brought me.
| do not believe there is another
opportunity like this, or that there
ever will be again. I do not be-
leve there is another man in
Texas who could get control of
this magnificent combination of
state and university holdings at
this time, on such easy terms.

Dear Editor:-I wish to say a few
words through the columns of your
paper labout the merchants of your
city. 4 have known many of these
peoples for many years, others not
quite so long, nevertheless have
met these people in a business and
social way and / always have found
them, one and all, to be as nice a
bunch as any city can boast of. They
are all ready to sacrifice almost any
thing for the welfare Of the people.
I just had the pleasure of being on
committee to go around and ask
your merchants to close their busi-
nesses from IL to o'clock on good
Friday, the anniversary of Christ's
crucifix.on.
When this question came up in the
Holy Name society in regards to ask
ing them to close some expressed

than 20 per cent of them, others so
per cent, while /. knowing, these
merchants as l did said | believed
that we could get nearly all of them
and as our committee went around
yesterday, we found that every one
was willing to close. and expressed
themselves of being glad to help our
good cause or any other good cause.
So, wish, in behalf of our committee
and in behalf of the Holy Name So
ciety, of st. Joseph's Parish, Bedding
Mich, to thank one and all who have
assisted in this closing, and may God
bless and protect one and all of our
merchants who are the means of
making Bedding one of the incest and
cleanest cities.
Very truly yours,
Nicholas p. Werner,
President of the Holy Name Society
