FOR RECRUITING

Recruiting National Guard
Of Hundred Percenters
COMMITTEES CHOSEN

An interesting meeting was held at
the purpose of organizing committee
on safety and public welfare in accord
ance with the request of Governor
Shoup and Adjutant General Spangler
for campaign for 2,116 ned recruits
for the Colorado National Guard.
Considerable correspondence was read
which made it plain that national and
state officials are very much in earnest
about the matter of increasing the mil
itary forces in Colorado and at the
same time making selections from
among the best of our young citizenry.
The movement was popular with all
present, and it was voted to ask for a
permanent machine gun company of 81
men at this place. These are to be
picked men whose Americanism is
above suspicion. The business men and
our entire citizenry will be asked to
encourage and insist in the promotion
of the good work in every way possible
Governor Shoup some time ago took
the matter up with w. s. Parkison and
Ollie Thorson, and w. II. Lee was sent
to Denver to confer with the governor
and General Spangler about the matter.
At the meeting Monday evening the
following committees were appointed
to proceed with the work:

22 MILLION MESSAGES SENT
OVER PHONE LINES IN 1917

Washington, Jan. 13.-According to
the report about to be issued by the
bureau of the census showing the re-
suits of the census of telephones COW
ering the year Of 1917, there are 53,-
234 separate telephone systems and
lines. These lines and systems oper-
ated 2S,S27,18S miles of wire in the
United States-enough to girdle the
earth at the equator l,15S tines
and connected 1l,716,520 telephones
and 1,l75 exchanges. The messages
or talks" sent over these wires ag-
gregated the stupendous total of
nearly 22 billion, or to be exact, 21,-
S45, ,722,335. Figured on the estimat-
ed population of the country in 1917
this gives 211 messages per annum to
every man, woman and child.
The industry in 1917 gave employ
ment to 262,629 persons of whom
171,1l9, or over 65 per cent, were
women. The sum paid out in salaries
and wages amounted to S175,670,-
449. These employees operated plants
and equipment valued at Sl,942,-
329,015, which yielded operating and
incorporating revenues Of 1891 ,499,-
531.
The report discusses the develop
ment of the telephone industry, tele-
phone equipment and traffic; offers
interesting comparisons between the
Bell and other systems, and between
The Clovis news., 1920-01-15

Increase in expenses was due to in
crease in salaries and wages paid.
These had advanced from 47.4 per
cent of the total expenses in 1912, to
54.2 per cent in 1917. For systems
reporting annual incomes of more
than $4,000 in 1917, the average total
revenues per telephone was S3S.4l,
average net income per telephone
1913 and average surplus per tele-
phone S1.46.
This report of the telephone indus
try is part of the Census Electrical
Industries" which was taken in 1918,
covering the operations Of the fiscal
year 1917.
The first census of the telephone
industry was taken in connection
with the decennial census in 1880,
only two years after the first public
telephone exchange was opened for
business in New Haven, Conn, on
January 25, 1878. In 1890 a census
of telephones was again taken with
the regular decennial census, but for
1902 and for every fifth year since
a census of the electrical industries,
which includes telephones, has been
taken. The development of the in
dustry, therefore, is shown from its
infancy.

the telephone system as a whole and
the telegraph system, and gives i'm
portant financial statistics of the in
dustry. Detailed figures are present
ed for 1917 by states and geographic
divisions and comparative statistics
for earlier years. The statistics for
1917 are believed to be more accur-
ate than for any previous census, due
to the uniform system of acc 3unts
provided for telephone companies by
the interstate commerce commission,
which have been in use since Janu-
ary 1, 1918.
The Bell telephone system controll-
ed over four-fifths of the total wire
milage employed over three-fourths
Of the employees of the industry, paid
over four-fifths of the total bill for
salaries and wages, and received
nearly four-fifths Of the total reve-
nue..
Comparisons with previous CEN
suses bring out in a striking way the
remarkable development Of the in
dustry. During the decade 1907
1917, wire mlage increased 90 per
cent, the number Of telephones 1928
per cent, the number of messages
90.5 per cent. for systems having in
comes Of $4,000 or more.
Tho financial statistics of the re.
port show that while the revenue OF
the telephone companies has more
than doubled during the decade 1907
1917, the expenses have increased at
an even more rapid rate. Much of the

This company has IN the same field
as they understand, deep we'll produc-
ton, but the oil is of a much cheaper
grade. This company intends to car
ry just what they can shoulder, this
is why the shallow production was
decided upon first and the deep pro-
duction to be considered later.
Only few years ago we would
have had to admit that there was no
such method to develop an oil field,
'ithout oil sharks and plenty of
wealth, but today it is quite different.
Practically speaking, all the oil
schemes from now on must be oil
principals, and this company is on
the ground floor. The average man
and woman can invest and protect
themselves and stimulate The promo
tion Of the company.
What do you think OF this com
pany? II you think well Of It the
company would be pleased to have
you to heartily cooperate with them
and your influence and support will
be appreciated. This company knows
that every man and woman has a
right to live and profit by an honest
investment.
Shares can be had now for One
Dollar per share, but they will ad-
vance in accordance to the wells
drilled and oil produced. Study il
over and If you think it a good safe
and paying investment, buy stock
but If you think it is not, the COM
pany doesn't want you to invest.

This company is formed for the
purpose of developing for oil and gas
on such lands and leases as the said

This is not one of the oil schemes

maps you can readily see where the
company's holdings are located, and
again you will see that they are hap
PLY situated in what shall be known
in the future as one Of the big oil
fields. And again you will see that
this company is operating in what is
known as the shallow and deep oil
production field. II is quite natural
that you should want to know some
thing about this shallow and deep oil
production, and it's no more than
right that you should know. As
mentioned above they have declared
to make it profitable and paying
business for the stockholder as well
as the company, and to do this, this
company must operate under the sim
plest and safest plans. And after due
consideration the company has de-
cided on the shallow sand oil produc-
tion first, for the reasons as follows
1t seems strong and somewhat out
of the ordinary reasoning, but it is
true. Oil can be had by drilling to &
depth of rs to 1876 feet. The COM
pany knows this to be true. These
shallow sand wells production is a
very high grade of oil and will net
about $500 per barrel. This com
pany expects to drill twenty wells
hoping to get a production Of from
5 to 10 barrels each a day, so you
can figure and see the company has
an untold value if more wells were
drilled.
