WILDCAT OIL AND
EXPORT SHARES

If you feel a strong urge in your
innards to buy stock securities, don't
invest in oil shares. They may be
wildcat" and you may join the in
Vulnerable multitude of rural citizens
who collectively lost hundreds of mil
lions in "oils" during the past two
years.
If you feel the strong urge in your
innards to buy stock shares, it is bet
ter to buy the export" securities,
that are soon to be offered TO the
country by the big bankers corpora
ton that recently organized coopera-
lively and periodically for the SIM
pie purpose of selling more of the
products of America to Europe es-
pecially farm products. Europe hasn't
the money to buy; not right now. 1t
needs credit and its credit is poor be-
cause its currency systems are strain
ed to the utmost. Result is that al
though they are in great need Of our
corn and wheat and cotton and meats,
they have cut down their orders and
are getting along without.
The leading bankers of the United
States met recently and subscribed
one hundred million dollars for a cor
poration which will advance perhaps
a billion of credit. When this begins
to operate, the foreigners will be able
to order much more from the Ameri-
can farmer and pay him for it through
the export" corporation.
The interest this new export" cor
poration will pay on it's securities may
not be large but the securities will be
safe. And if farm investors buy them,
they may be pretty sure of added in
terest from the increased prices they
will get for their products, said in
creased prices being due to the greater
demand X
We do not advise anybody where to
invest their spare dollars. We merely
want to state that export shares,
backed as they are by the nations
banks; are far better than wildcat"
oil stock.

THE AUTO TRAILER
AS A FOOD CARRIER

We printed an editorial recently
suggesting how the automobile truck
and good roads would bring the food
from the farm to the consumer. We
showed that the rural mail carrier,
driving a truck, could carry at least
1900 pounds of farm produce to the
town and city every day and that if
the Postofice Department had 10000
rural mail routes this would mean the
delivery of $4,000 tons daily to the
dealers and consumers of the nation.
A thoughtful colleague in the eoun-
try newspaper profession, has writ
ten to tell us how that $4,000 tons a
day could be doubled. Says Mr.. VIM.
P. Rose, editor and publisher of the
Cambridge Springs (Pa.) Enterprise:
Sew men today realize the present
advantages n The light two-wheel
trailer an. it is finally going to
do for general transportation in this
country.
"The ton truck you mention in your
editorial can easily draw a ton trailer
behind it, at saving of gas and pow
er compared with results. Regular
trailer trains are running on the Pa
cific coast today. The greatest pow
err of truck is in its draw-bar pull
fact not publicly consumed today.
"On 10000 routes at least 100000
tons should be delivered per day. X.
"In time, by using light four-wheel
trailers that will track better than
two-wheel trailers when two or more
are drawn, a system could be worked
out easily whereby a farmer could
have his trailer with him to load dur
ing the day. 1t would be picked up
by the train when the train came
along daily. Tremendous, isn't it?
Consider the railroad train. All we
need to realize this great transporta-
ton development is roads"

The two friends had talked of their plan at many meetings throughout the summer, and when Her berts great-uncle, Mir. Joseph Att Water, made his nephew the unex- pected present of printing press, and a newspaper consequently took the place of tue club, Herbert and Henry still entertained an affection for their former scheme and decided to perpet- uate the name. They were the more sensitive to attack upon it by an ig- norant outsider and girl like Florence, and her chance of ingratiatiRg her. self with them, if that could be HOW her intention, was not promising.
 It would be inaccurate to speak of her as hoping to placate them, how ever; her mood was inscrutarAe. She descended from the fence with pro- nounced inelegance, and, approaching the old double doors of the carriage house," which were open, paused to listen. Sounds from above assured her that the editors were editing-or at least that they could be found at their place of business. Therefore, she ascended the cobwebby stairway to the loft, and made her appearance in the printing room of the North End Daily Oriole.

It was, in sense, an original poem i; though, like the greater number of all literary offerings, it was so strongly inspirational that the source of its inspiration might easily become mani fest to q coId-blooded reader. Never theless, to the poetess herself, as she explained later in good faith, the words just seemed to come to her-doubtless with either genius CT some form of miracle involved; for sources of in- spiration are seldom recognized by in- spired writers themselves. She had not long ago been party to musical Sunday afternoon at her great-uncle Joseph Atwater's house where Mir.

ence for several months had named not once otherwise than as '"Phat nasty little Henry Rooter," was of strangely clean and smooth fair-haired appearance, for his age. She looked hip over.
 His profile was of a symmetry he had not himself yet begun to appre- ciate; his dress was scrupulous and modish; and though he was short nothing outward about him explained the more sinister of Florence's two adiectives. Yet she had true occasion for it, because on the day before she began it's long observance he had made her uneasy lest an orange seed she had swallowed should take root and grow up within her to size inevi- tably fatal. Then, with her cousin Herbert's stern assistance, Florence had realized that her gullibility was not to be expected in anybody over seven years old, after which age such llegends are supposed to be encoun- tered with the derision of experienced people.
 Her fastidiousness aroused, she de- cided that Henry Rooter had no busi- ness to be talking about what would happen to her insides, anyhow; and so informed him at their next meeting, adding an explanation which absolute ly proved him to be no gentleman. And her opinion of him was still per fectly plain in her expression as she made her present intrusion upon his working hours. He Seemed to re- ciprocate.
 "Herel Didn't I and Herbert tell you to keep out O here2" he demand ed, even before Florence had devel- oped the slightest form of greeting. Look at her. Herbertl She's back again!"
 You get out O here, Florence" :" said Herbert, abandoning his task with look of pain. "How often we haf to tell you we don't want you around here when we're in our office like this?"
 "For heavens sake!" Henry Rooter thought fit to add. Cant you quit running up and down our office stairs once in a while, long enough for us to get our newspaper work done? Can't you give us a little peace?'
