1000 Per Cent Monthly!

If our expectations are fully realized; IL we
succeed In duplicating some OF the biggest gush-
ers of the field; IL the fact that other companies
investment counts for anything, then we believe
we can safely predict that the Hamblet-Mexa

as LOCO per cent on every dollar invested and
perhaps MORE.
This will be made possible through our low
capitalization, $0000000 divided into single 1000

limited membership.

brief announcement gave no intima-
tion as to the nature of Americas de-

1t was made known from sources in

the administration is opposed to the
large military establishments which
are being maintained by some of the
European nations and believes that
there should be reduction of those
forces in order to help restore the bud
gets and normal conditions.
The United States, through the re-
duction in it's army, with still further
reductions possible, and through its
proposal of naval limitation, has Of
fered a fine example to the world, it
was pointed out. If the European ma
tions which still maintain large armed
forces, would reduce their armies in
any way comparable with what the
United States has done and find Sc
curity as this country does through
other means, it was said, that would
bring about a great transformation in
the conditions Of the world and aid in
it's commercial and economic restora-
tion. Attention was called to the vast
army of more than 100000 trained
men which Russia still keeps under
arms.
Senator King of Utah, Democrat,
brought up the Genoa question in the
Senate by calling attention to publish
ed statements that President Harding
had consulted Secretary of State
Hughes, Secretary of Commerce Hoov-
er, Elihu Root, Senator Brandagee and
others about participating in the pro-

it had been decided to decline the in
