Oil AT Reelfoot

Some months ago Gov. Roberts leased
to W. H. Newberry, an oil operator of
Fort Worth, Texas, the entire lake,
which is owned by the state Mr. New
berry also secured leases on practically
all the territory surrounding the lake
and has assigned a large part to the
company just organized.
Drilling operations are already being
conducted. Drilling on one well at the
north end of the lake has been going on
for several days, and a derrick has been
erected for another we'll near the lake.
Much excitement exists thruout West
Tennessee over prospects for securing
oil at the lake. Favorable reports were
made by the State biologists, and Mr..
Newberry had DR.. Hugh Tucker, noted
petroleum geologist OF Texas, make a
complete study of the formations at
Reelfoot Lake. DR.. Tucker predicted
that oil would be found in abundance,
and urged Mr.. Newberry to proceed
with his plans for the development of
the oil interests at the lake.
Our president, our directors, our
drillers, our biologists and thousands of
others believe that oil will be found at
Reelfoot Lake. Contemplate the for
tunes that will be made and the ire
mendous developments that will follow.
Operations at Reelfoot Lake are pro-
ceeding rapidly, One well is going
down, a derrick has been erected on an
other location and the rig is now being
placed in position, This well will be
"spudded i'm within a few days. An
other rig is being erected on our Louis
lana acreage and well will be going
down by the time this prospectus is off
the press.

A WISE INVESTMENT

The tremendous fortunes that
have been made not only for the
few, but for the many, have as
founded the world. Oil invest
ments have attracted the atten-
ton of even the most cOnserva-
tive of business men, who nat
urally want to share in this great
accumulation of wealth, and at
the same time desire to invest
wisely. There are many oppor-
tunities offered for oil invest
ments, but we believe that an in
vestment in the STOCK of re-
liable company will bring the
best results.

In considering the proposition
of the Reelfoot- Ranger Oil Com
pany as an investment, it is we'll
first to appreciate the magnitude
of the oil industry of today;rank-
ing second only to the steel bust
ness, it has attracted and required
enormous capital, more than
three hundred millions of dollars

Essentials Of a Success.
full Oil Company

An expert on oil investments suggests
four fundamentals Of a successful oil
company:
Ample Capital.
"A Variety of Holdings, including
producing wells, proven acreage in a
number of oil fields, and vast acreage in
undeveloped or semi-proven fields.
ga Management Experienced in the
oil business, of unquestioned integrity
and of recognized business ability.
A Permanent Program contem-
plating activities in the production,
transportation, refining and marketing
of oil.
These four fundamentals constitute
the foundation on which the Reelfoot-
Ranger Oil Company is being built.

Future Prospects

Following the basis of our organiza-
tion,. the company will engage in all
branches of the oil industry, extending
its operations as opportunity is pre-
sented and capital provided. It is not
necessary for the company to strike oil
in any one particular field to succeed.
A wise use of large capital by exper-
fenced and successful business men in
the oil industry, where opportunities for
making money are so great, is certain to
result in satisfactory dividends to the
stockholders. We predict that the COM
pany will grow to great proportions, and
that an investment in its capital stock
will yield large and continuous returns.

To the Business Public

In offering the stock of the REEL
F00T-RANGER OIL COMPANY to the
public the Objects and directors desire
to call attention to the present status,
the plans and the prospects of the COM
pany. and to give the assurance thatour
time and talents will be given unreserv-
edly to making the company an unqual-
fled success,
Great care has been exercised in
working out the plan oflthe organization
and the personnel of the active manage
ment. 1t is our purpose to build COM
pany that will be in the oil business
permanently, with capital sufficiently
large and with operations so varied and
extensive as to guarantee success.
The oil business, properly conducted,
is probably the greatest money-making
enterprise of the day. Of course there
has been much wild speculation, some of
which has been successful, and much of
which has met with failure, but we be-
lieve that the fundamental basis of our
organization is so we'll ordered that the
business to be conducted will be as le-
gitimate and scientific as any other
business enterprise, and with a most
satisfactory general average of profits
from our varied operations, and with
the possibility, even the probability, of
enormous profits arising from the deve!-
opment of some of our vast holdings.
Ample capital has already been pro-
vided for preliminary operations. Wells
are now being drilled and the company
is going concern. The president of
our company is an experienced and sue
cessful oil operator, and will devote his
entire energies to the development of
the properties now owned and other
holdings which will be acquired in the
various oil fields as developments take
place.
While the ultimate plans of the COM
pany will probably include the refining,
transportation and marketing of oil, for
the present every energy will be direct
ed toward securing production through
drilling operations.
We are confident that an investment
in the stock of the REEI.FO0T-RANG-
Err OIL COMPANY will yield large re-
turns, and we submit that the most pro-
pitious time for investing is now, as
only a limited amount of the capital
stock will be offered at par,
We pledge faithful administration
of the trust which we assume in behalf
of the present and future stockholders.

LOTS OF WOOL
IN ARGENTINA

Beunos Aires, June, 24.-The cessa-
tion Of the demand for coarse grades
of wool for army uniforms and the re-
fusal of the average people, in spite Of
the high cost Of living, to buy cloth
ing made Of the coarse grades, has
left Argentina with more than 200,-
100000 pounds of almost unstable
wool on its hands, according to To-
cal manufacturer of woolen cloth, in
terviewed by La Nacion.
This huge quantity will be increased
during the shearing season in July
and August. AS the production of
wool in this country is growing year
by year, the problem Of selling the
coarser grades is considered very seri-
Gus. One reason for the situation is
that formerly Argentine sheep breed
ers had thought more of the meat
than the wool, with the result that
their stock became mixed and the con-
sequent wool coarse and not uniform.

EFFORTS TO
ESTABLISH BEAVERS

Concord, N. H., July 17.-An effort
to reestablish the beaver on the
streams and meadows of the White,
Mountains country from which it long
since disappeared is being made by
the Society for the Protection of New
Hampshire Forests.
The Lost River Reservation is
again the haunt Of the dam-building
animals, four beavers having been lib
Grated there as the first step in an ef-
fort to return the amphibian architect
to it's former usefulness. Within the
steep walls Of the Kinsman Notch,
through which tumbles Beaver Brook,
a misnomer in recent years, the beav-
er will have it's favorite topography
in which to propagate and work under
the foothills of Moosilauke Mountain.
The animals set free were the gift
of the state forester of Minnesota,
who selected them from a breeding
colony at a state park situated at the
headwaters of the Mississippi. The
beaver are descendants of family in
troduced to Minnesota from Canada,
which have multiplied and prospered
there, and are now contributing to re-
\ establishment of the species in an
other state.

PEARL DIVING
SEASON OPENS

Papeete, Tahiti, July 19.-The open
ing of the pearl diving season, the
great event Of the year in the French
Settlements comes in July. Diving is
not permitted for two years in success
sion at the same island. The various
pearl islands are opened in rotation.
This means that all gear, stocks of
merchandise and building material
must be taken to a new island each
year-no small undertaking when it is
remembered that the coral atoll, which
in ordinary times supports less than
two hundred persons, becomes in the
diving season the abiding place of
$500 or more.
This year the open island is Hiku-
cru, one Of the Paumotu Archipelago
400 miles to the eastward of Tahiti.
Already this lonely atoll is taking on
metropolitan appearance. The profits
to be gained come not only from the
pearl shell won from the lagoon but
from the sale of wares dear to the ma
tive heart and from the providing of
entertainment to refresh weary divers
and their women folk after the labors
of the day are over. The average ma
tive dives wins good sum from the
bottom Of the lagoon and much of it
goes on expensive silk dresses for his
wife and daughters, on the delectable
canned goods Of the "poppa" (white
man) and on the movies.
This year there are to be, it is said,
three moving picture theatres, any
number of motor cars for hire-the
