THE FINAL .ABNER
 DAVIS SYNDICATE
We Have the Propertes-We Have tn Oll-We Have the Reflneries-We
 Have Money-We Will Win

You are invited to put your money with me and share in the results.
 Here are some of the big things yo share In:
 Half interest in proven 20 acre Drill ing Contract nearest the Bell discovery well. This is without doubt a sure sh for many good wells from the 650-foot Bell sand. This lease occupies the same relative position on the anticline as the Bell well. The oil from this lease alone should easily return all the money in vested and also pay good dividends from month to month.
 land in fee that is being built adjoining the new Irabell townsite near the Bell well. The Santa Fe railway runs through this property. The first unit of this re- finery is all complete and ready to set up for operation under a contract to be- gin making gasoline within 90 days The profits from this refinery at the source or the crude supply where there is a ready market for all the products at prices above the market should prove a big thing for all investors This will be the only refinery for hundreds Of miles in all directions and our products will command a big premium because Of a saving in freight on both the crude and refined product.
 This refinery will be operated under the Abner Davis System making our standard Pyramid brands. Onehalf in terest going to this Syndicate
 Half interest in another drilling con- tract also on the Bell Anticline
 Half interest in so acres in fee simple carrying the oil and mineral rights in the section adjoining the Citizens we'll tract which Is a sure shot from the standpoint Of location on the known structure
 Half interest in 160 acres in fee sim pie also carrying the oil rights in the Zone we'll district which is regarded as an excellent location for big deep weliS
 HaG interest in another tract of 900 acres also near drilling operations in Pecos county, regarded as immensely valuable for its potential oil possibilities
 Half interest in certain other proper ties now under option. the details about which cannot be made public at this time.
 Half interest in the pipe line and oil gathering facilities to be established in the Pecos field.
 Half interest in a large block of check CT boarded leases in one of the greatest new oil fields. in my judgment, that will be found in Texas. This lease is as yet what must be classed as wildcat terri tory. These properties are to be held to await development by other companies.
 Half interest in the contract for sup ply of crude oil and the marketing ar engagement. This contract should prove immensely profitable without any outlay whatever to us.
 In addition to all of these extremely valuable and large properties. I am pre- pared to lease outright, direct to each investor, one acre for each $20.00 fur nished. or five acres for each s1OO this acreage will be given in the form of a bonus and in addition to all the other in- terests in which each Syndicate member shares pro-rata.

How to Win in Oil

Put your money in on the ground floor basis.
 Get in at the start of q big enterprise.
 Buy leases and grow with the field.
 Scatter your holdings in line with fu- ture development.
 Bet on the man just as you would on a horse race or a baseball game. It takes a man to win.
 Make up your mind to win-but also steady yourself for the jolt if you lose.
 Think for yourself. If you feel in your own heart you are right you do yourself untold harm to allow someone else to sway you from your own better impulses.
 Don't ask outsiders what to do, no one can give you better advice than your own inner feeling will point out to you.
 Action alone gets results.

PLAN OF ORGANIZATION Fairness to Al! and Pro- Rata Sharing kcnnrdinn tn

When you place your small investment through Abner Davis as trustee in the Consolidated Syndicate your money se- cures you the largest possible represen- tation. It goes in on the early ground floor basis when big holdings were ac- quired with little money and you share pro-rata accordingly in cheap leases. in higher priced acreage and deeded land and your money also begins active work in a constructive and productive way be- cause you share in the refinery already under way and in the enhanced values of all Consolidated Syndicate holdinr
 FIVE ACRES BONUS
 Then in addition to all of these bene- fits you receive outright a lease on acres with each sl00 you subscribe to the Consolidated Syndicate. this lease is in promising territory but of course away from present development. But the lease is all yours to do with as you please and it is the plan of the Syndicate to help in the development of its holdings which will enhance the value of your lease and perhaps prove it's value or make you many thousands of dollars.
 The Consolidated Syndicate is separate and distinct from any other organization. The money invested by this Syndicate will be for the benefit of its members on a free profit sharing basis.
 In order that no one may be confused the following details are given:
 The Abner Davis system of regineries known as the First National will own one-half interest in the refinery in tl Pecos field. The Consolidated Syndicate will own the other half.
 ONE MANAGEMENT
 The Abner Davis Trustee plan will CO., operate on similar basis in the drill ing campaign; in other words the whole Abner Davis man to man profit sharing idea is one of cooperation First the public cooperate in financing the diff ferent enterprises. then these different Abner Davis organizations cooperate with each other for mutual prOfit huf a a very great reduction in overhead eX- penses because of the Abner Davis trusteeships being operated under one

WHEN DAME FORTUNE SMILES THERE IS A QUESTION ALWAY> AS TOWARD WHOM HER FANCY MIGHT BE DIRECTED.

Then it has been said that Opportunity knocks once at every mans door and if the main fails to grasp his chance, Op- portunlty passes on and knocks ID more. The man who waits for luck to strike and fill his pockets with q shower of gold, usually finds holes in his pockets through which the coin disappears. I do not believe in luck" The word IS q creation ot superstition. and super stitiOn has held millions chained 70 pow crty centuries untold.
 l would not question the smiling rig of such a wonderful lady as Dame For tune. nor have I ever failed to hear a knock. for fear it migh come from Op- portunity and Opportunity might pass me by.
 But of luck l cannot say much. I pre- fer to believe in work. Ii luck is that thing that hy chance leads me to the place where Fortune smiles and Oppor- tunity knocks, then l take off my hat to all three.
 For. us true as I speak to you. I have just found myself at the right place at the right time where Fortune smiled with all her gladdening soul and Opror- tunity knocks with unmistakable force.
 l also found myself in position to grasp the hand of Opportunity when out stretched through the open door and re- ccive her bounteous gifts.
 All Of the advertisements I have writ ten in the past were but the breathing on paper of my honest, sincere feelings and beliefs. embelished with hope from an optimist nature.
 So as I write these lines I may be pardoned for seemingly departing from cold business and using words of cheer fitness and quoting well rounded and smooth sounding phrases.
 But this is the mood in which 1 find myself after basking in the heaven kissed smiles Of fortune upon the sweeping plains of the Pecos Valley. and viewing the gifts ot nature to man. after being drawn to her outstretched arms by Op- portunity's steady knocks and constant calls.
 Dead, indeed, ,yould be the hopes and crushed the soul of a man who could not rise to an appreciation of Fortunes smiles and onportunity's call whom show cred with LucA'S stream ot gold.
 My friends. seriously believe that I'nave at last been drawn to the place and enabled to grasp the mighdcst chance for wealth ever thrown in the path of any man. Arriving upon the scene in time 1 was able to buy for a the making of fortunes beyond the im- aSinaton Of the average man. I have worked early and late. and have work ed bard and long. always believing that the Law of Averages iF unfailrE and that continuous and persistent effort in the oil business would ropnN for every effort. every hardship. every dissppoint- ment and every dollar invested
 am now. for the first time. n cont maud of sufficient capital to handle Jhc lnrEc transactions whcre q great quau- titv of leases could be had at low prices

OIL WELL EXPECTED TO
 PRODUCE WITHOUT PUMP
Special to the Dallas News.

Special to the Dallas News.
 PECOS. Texas, April 10.-That the Bell well may develop into a flowing well Instead of bumper is the eXpecta- tion of many who have watched the activities of the discovery we'll of the Pecos field on the pump during the last week.
 The well has been growing stronger each day and runs practically the same rate after the pump is stopped as it did on the beam. More gas was in evidence toward the latter part of the week
 The well has steadily pumped its thir- ty-siX barrels each hour when put on the pump and the pumping periods were heightened into two and three hours twice each day during the latter part Of the week.

This is a new proposition, of course new property is being acquired and new money is required to pay for it.
 The Abner Davis plan Is definite one, it is one of the fair, square dealing man to man. This plan has proven it's merit by the success attained under the Abner Davis Trusteeship. The same old principle will hold good. Every many or woman who furnishes me a dollar, or a thousand dollars. will receive an exact and pro rata interest in all that their money will entHle them to receive and will share accordingly in the results.

CROSBY WORKS
 FOR RYDER MAIL
Requests Department for h. creased Service-Action
 Is Thought Sure.

As the result of the activity of Delegate George B. Grigsby, there is excellent prospect of the town of Hyder securing an improved mail service, according to information from that town received in Juneau. It is believed that Hyder, in short time, will have twice week mail service instead of the present weekly service.
 The matter of betterment was taken up with the Delegate during his visit there early in July. He immediately wired the Post Office Department in Washington stating conditions and recommending the increased service desired by the resi- dents of Hyder. In acknowledging the Delegates message, Second As sistant Postmaster General Otto c. Prager responded that he had taken up the matter with the Seattle postal officials for further recom- mendation and that action would be taken as soon as practicable. Hyder people are encouraged over the out look and it is believed that the twice week service will begin in l short time.

SIBERIAN REVOLT
 MAKING HEADWAY
Continued from Page 1.) nOtchekoff, as follows:
 Parleys Begun in May

"Parleys between the Japanese military mission and mission of the Far Eastern Republic were begun on May "A, at the station Gongota, between the Japanese-Semenoff and Russian fronts, about 70 miles west of Chita. The Japanese mission. headed by Col. Rurosawa, presented three demands, namely that the Sov- jet army must return west of Lake Baikal; that a neutral zone be es- tablished west of Chita TO miles in extent and containing no armed for ces; that free transportation and communications be established and that the Japanese have representa- tion in the railway management.
 "The Russians replied that the Soviet army has not progressed be- yond the left bank of the Selenga rives, Southwest of Lake BaikaD and that the question of their return west of Lake Baikal must be taken up by Japan with Soviet Russia.
 Russa's Proposals
 "The Far Eastern Republic mission proposed that the railway in the Chita and Stretensk districts be con- sidered within the sphere of infIu- ence of the Japanese military com mand in Siberia temporarily until an agreement regarding Japanese evacuation could be reached; and that through transportation and com be established eastward.
 "The Russians insisted upon par leying regarding the Far Eastern sit uation as a whole, that fighting cease on all fronts and that the nego- tiations assume the aspect of an in- ternational conference instead of par leys between two military commands l
 "On May 9 the parleys were inter rupted because the Japanese wished to discuss the situation west of Chita only, stating that they were not to do more.
 "On June 2, Krasnotchekoff sent a memorandum to Gen. Oi express ing surprise that the Japanese msis- ion was not empowered to treat with the Russian mission and re- beating the offer that the per-Baikal be considered temporarily , within the Japanese sphere of in fluence, thus practically renouncing sovereign rights in this territory for the sake of peace."

Explorer Makes Record in Month S Work on Nearby
 Waters and Channel.

After spending a month in the VI cinity of Windham, Holkham Bay Taku Harbor and Snettsham, the survey ship Explorer and tenders, arrived in port this morning to re- main until Tuesday, loading supplies and undergoing repairs.
 During August an area of nearly 150 square miles was dragged and on one day 21.5 square miles was completed making a record for the season.
 A considerable part of the shore line to be surveyed was covered dur ing the month. This included a sur vey of Port Snettisham and the chan nel which will be used by boats going to the pulp mill to be estab- lishod there.
 novel feature of the months work was sweeping through the fields of floating ice and bergs of various sizes off Holkam Bay The newly developed type of sweep with infrequent vertical members gives lit- tie trouble under these conditions.
 During the latter part of the month the party was inspected by Capt. w. E. Parker, Chief of Division of Fly typography, Coast and Geodetic Sur vey.
 The remainder of the season will be spent in making the survey thor ough by completing all unfinished areas and proving that no rocks ex- ist near the shores, or locating such as exist
