Printing is one of the difficulties Of
Bible spreading, Mr.. Mann said. While

made public here by Secretary DAN
iels.
The president spoke as commander
in-chief of the navy and at time
when the German submarine menace
was uncurbed. In laying the text Of
his remarks before the Senate naval
investigating committee, Secretary
Daniels said they showed the bold
and vigorous" policy the president had
outlined for the navy.
do not stop TO think what is pru-
dent for a moment" the president
said. You will win by the audacity
of method. when you cannot win by
circumspection and prudence.
Il think that there are willing ears
to hear this in the American navy

There will have to come a new ira
dition into a service. which does not
do new and audacious and successful
things"
The president also expressed his
dissatisfaction with progress then be-
ing made toward crushing the subma-
rine campaign.
I'VE are hunting hornets all over

he said. Il am willing for my part,

half the navy to Great Britain, and we
together have to crush that nest, be-
cause il we crush it, the war is won"
The British admiralty had met

amounted to statements that lit never
had been DONE" the president said.
adding:

decided tonight. The measure carries

The section of the appropriation
bill which led to the veto would pro-
hibit the printing or mimeographing

Strange But True

When the Americans Indian was pushed back by the white man, Uncle Sam allowed him to rest on the then worthless plains and jun gles for his hunting ground, that the Red Mans white brother might till the fertile soil Most of the rich oil fields of Oklahoma were on the worthless scrub hills of the Indian nation. The Texas ranch owner and farmer left the sage brush plains and arid hills un- touched. The state gave the refuse to the university and school sys- tenn. And again nature lavishes her wealth where least expected and the oil. gas and mineral re- sources of these school lands are building fortunes for those who come and take them for develop ment, and now the state. the uni versity and the public schools are reaping the fabulous riches the ear ly settlers pushed aside This is one of the strange things whereby nature takes care of her own and it is all very well because it gives the chance now we could never have gotten otherwise

DO YOU WANT YOURS 40 Acres Oil, Gas and Min eral Lease-Permits on Uni versity and School Lands
 in Texas

The very last chance you will ever have. There is no more land being created. There is no moye oil being deposited But Texas has a bountiful supply for all who have the nerve to try. I am determined that my friends and packers 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 lease permits on school lands could have ever come into my hands except because my friends have enabled me to climb to strong position as an oil de veloper and refiner. This confi- dence is due to the tangible results of my efforts along constructive development lines in few short years.
 So if ] can turn 40 acres of Tex as oil and mineral rights over to each of 10000 people, l will have given my friends the very thing their backing brought me.
