leading British companies have COM
piled with all government regulations
and proceeded to develop their hold
ings.
Third: Many of the largest wells
in the Tampico district have been
ruined by enroachment of salt water.
This last development is predicted will
lead to extensive "wildcatting," es-
pecially to the south of Tampico,
along the coast in the state of Vera
Cruz, and westward into the noun
tains in the states of Vera Cruz,
Tamaulipas, Coahuila, and Nuevo
Leon, south of the Texas border.
American oil men here predict.that
during the year 1920 at least 100 new
oil wells will be drilled in Mexico,
twenty-five principal American COM
panies and their subsidiaries taking
leading part.
1t is pointed out that this anticipat-
ed development will mean a great
influx of American workers.
Plans are under consideration, also,
for construction of pipe lines and
tank farms to cost $5O,OOO,OOO, gold.

This ruling means that deportation
proceedings will be continued in the
case of radicals already arrested ana
held for deportation at Ellis Island,
New York, unless an appeal to the
courts should set aside the ruling now
made by Secretary Wilson.
This ruling was handed doWn in the
case of Englebrecht PRESS, an Aus
TRAN, who was arrested in one of the
recent raids by the Department of
Justice. Preiss is charged with be-
ing member of the Communist Par
ty; as such is subject to deportation.
In his ruling Secretary Wilson al
legged that "it is manandatory upon
the Secretary of Labor to take into
custody aliens who are members of
this organization, and deport them.r
The effect of this order or ruling
by the Secretary of Labor will be To
solidify and support activities of the
Department of Justice in preventing
anarchistic propaganda within tie
United States, and in preventing land
ing by those coming to these shores
for purposes of propaganda promul-
cation; while it will hasten expulsion
of those who may have succeeded Il:

Next week American oil companies

CHAPTER XIII.

Selling his long line OF spring and
summer wheat, Fitzh1gh bought three
million bushels of the September op-
tion. He was now become known as
the greatest of the bulls. Every big
buying order was laid to him. His
appearances in the pit grew more in
frequent. He distributed his COM
mands among six or seven different
brokers. Crops were universally bad.
The United States had not yet felt
the European demand, but it would
come soon, and he knew it would be
heavy. He knew wheat would rise
still higher, and he gradually increased
his holdings in September to six mil
lion bushels.
Then came the cry from European
insistent cry-the cry for bread. He
received a code-cable from his agent
in Liverpool: Can negotiate five mil
1ion wheat. Name price"
He sold his six millions at an aG-
vance of twenty cents bushel, and in
one vast swoop bought in eight mil
lion bushels of July. And Hunt so FAR
forgot his pledge as to demonstrate.

EXCHANGING LIBERTY BONDS

BOSTON - The federal reserve
banks have begun the exchange of
permanent liberty bonds for temper
ary forms on about $14,275, ,000 900
outstanding of the half dozen varieties
Of the as and Ans. The first 31as and
the Victory notes were issued in perm
anent form.
For the present the exchange will
be confined to the third loan, on
which the last coupon already issued
natures March Is. On two issues,
the Second As and the First converted
Is, the last coupons matured Novem-
ber Is and December Is last, but
these will have to wait till the sup
ply is received from the treasury,
probably around May 1. On May Is
comes the last coupon date on the
Third AIS, which it is expected to
handle promptly. Thereafter the 9TH
ier Libertys have outstanding final
coupons cashable on June Is, October
Is and December Is, 1920.
All bonds turned in must come with
coupons detached. When the other
bonds arrive, some weeks hence, it
is expected that the exchange pro-
cess will be continuous, with the rush
coming around the interest dates, and
diminishing for some months there
after. This would bring the finish
save for bonds never turned in-some-
where in the first half of 1921.
Holders may turn in their Eonds to

OF OVERALL
MOVE IS SET forth

The folly of the overall club move
ment, which is the latest fad to sweep
the country, is well set forth in a
letter to the clothing trade from the
Hamilton Carhartt Cotton mills, said
to lie the worlds largest manufact-
urer of overalls. The letter said:
ITO the Trade: The Overall Club:
"Club" is exactly right!
We have been approached to join
in boosting this overall club idea.
But we have refused point blank.
And we hope that no Carhartt over
alls will be sold to the publicity seek
ers and their adherents who are back
of it.
Every overall that is sold for a
plaything now is going to increase
the shortage and increase the price
to men who have to have them.
But that isn't the worst of it.
Every overall worn by men who
don't have to wear them is going to
be living, walking advertisement of
the idea that you-the clothing men
of America-are the long sought
"profiteers!"
Don't let them pass the luck" to
you and "hang it on YOU
And you can be sure that the Ham
ilton Carhartt Cotton Mills are not
going to "cash in" at your expense by
this foolish fad. Because it is either
foolish fad or a well organized plan
to blame the retail clothing dealer
for one of the chief elements in the
high cost of living.
We viii be glad to supply you with
overalls for laboring men-but we
cannot accept orders from any dealer
who may be so short sighted as to
aid in furthering such movement to
his own detriment
Yours for sensible business,

MILLS.

Otis was planning another of his

made little if any impression, and he
redoubled his attack. Still the enemy
showed no sign of weakening. Again

was met and repulsed. He was over

swamped him from every side. He
stopped, puzzled. He had not ac-
counted his opponent half SO power
full. Otis, however, was not the hesi-
tant sort of general. Marshaling his
heavy artillery, he dashed upon the
battlefield, fighting with the implaca-

characterized his long career in hnan-

easily buffeted. But no white flag was

"And it seems to me-" cut in the
'plunger," looking up from the work
on his desk. "that I know just what
I'm doing. That wheat cost seventy
FIVE cents. It'll go up to dollar be-
fore July"
''But what if it doesn't?"
But it will. It'll go to dollar If
send it to dollar. And I'll send it
to dollar. And then-"
'Huh!" Hunt started. "You don't
mean"
Never mind. I'll tell you later"
He told him then, however; had so
intended doing when he entered his
office that morning. It was quite the
biggest thing thus far in his career.
and of late he had worked on it,
quietly, indefatigably, vouchsafihg
Hunt, because he was not. for while
sure of it, hardly more than hint Of
what he was planning. He had sta
toned correspondents in all the Euro
pean markets. He had held many Sc
cret conferences with two Packing
town millionaires, big gamblers both,
who played hidden game. And now,
this morning, the thing which had
been building these months past was
no longer nebulous to his vision. 1t
stood forth vividly, nakedly, complete
and beautiful in every detail.
To-day" said he, leaning across the
fiat-topped desk and regarding his
auditor fixedly, ''you and l own, and I
control, approximately eight million
bushels of July wheat. Within two
months shall control fifteen million
bushels. By July I expect to control
over forty million bushels"
"But, Danl How the dickens"
Marsh and Airport are in the pool"
Hunt subsided, nodding understand
ingly.
"You've seen the harvesting returns,
Hunt? You know Americas crops are
going to be small Same in Europe.
French crops are poor; Germany's
worse. Argentine's will be the small
est for the last ten years. Europe will
have to look to America for her wheat.
But America won't be able to give it
to her. There'll be mighty little wheat
in Chicago by July; and that little will
be locked tight in my pool. Do you
begin to understand"
The way Hunt chewed and puffed at
his cigar proved that he understood.
Yet he dared not utter what he al
ready knew.
"Symington Otis is bearing the mar
ket," he said, his hands gripped tight
ly round the arms Of his chair. HE
knows you're long on July wheat, too,
and" He checked himself, struck
by a sudden thought: "Tm hanged if
you're not doing this to beat hint"
Fitzhugh's iron jaw tensed. "He
thinks I'm doing it alone. He'll fight
me for all he's worth. SO much the
worse for him."
Hunt gave full vent to his excite
ment: "Where's he going to get his
wheat? That's what want to know"
He showed back his chair, unable
longer to restrain himself, unable
longer to keep unvoiced the thing up
permost in both their minds. 1--WE can
do 1t, Dan, we can do it! Well corner

Daniel shook his head. 'I will cor
