MILLIONS FACE STARVATION;
POOR CROPS IN RUSSIA

New York, Oct. 49, Nearly 100000
persons will be suffering from hunger
before next years harvest is garnered
in Russia and 100000 children will
have to depend on outside relief, said
report to the American Committee
for Relief of Russian Children, brought
back from Russia by Captain Paxton
Hibben.
The report included official crop sta
tistics, showing crop failure in
Northwestern Russia, where there is
rural population of S,231000.
Shortage of seed grain and lack of
draft animals and agricultural imple-
ments were given as the principal rea-
sons for the bad crops, though the re-
port said that in the heart of the
Nolga area in June and July excessive
heat, reaching 10 degrees Fahrenheit
in the shade, had withered much grain

,.scently we said that there was no
,sdleness here. There is none now but
some are out with gun and dog In
open violation to the law. By the time
the open season comes in rabbits and
birds will be as scarce as lions in the
temperate zone.
v. b. Shortridge, Esq, was here last
week in the interest of roads.
We often hear the remark, Don't
add fuel to fire II you want 1t to burn
out"
In the road repairing here there was
no fuel added to cause mudholes when
the rains came but rock, sand and
gravel were hauled and the mudholes
filed so that there will be no mud
holes where the materials were put,
1t matters not how much 1t rains.
Digging dirt and filling mudholes at
this season of the year only makes
them worse when 1t rains unless they
are thoroughly ditched which is not
often the case. '
Mr.. Shortridge believes in good
roads and If the court will listen to
his pleadines good roads will be built
at minimum cost. Anything that is

Monday night should see my first well drill
ing on 10000 acres in Crane County.
My own judg ment and that of other geolo-
gists with whom l have eounseled, and my IS
years experience in locating oil pools in all
parts of the world, convinces me that | shall
get a nonstrous gusher in Crane County.
An apparently perfect structural condition
exists here. On a great natural dome with its
enclosures plainly marked in the bold geology of
that region, I will strike for fabulous fortunes
for my unitholders and myself.
l,7c0 feet is the depth at which | plan on
tapping a veritable lake of petroleum and here,
| am planning not only tremendous profits for
my associates, but for myself l am striving for
the distinction of being the discoverer of a new
and extremely rich oil field.
In my. mind it is but a matter of months.
perhaps weeks, until | will stand cknowIedRed
to the world as the Colonel Humphreys of an
other "Mexia," in Crane County.
In San Saba County l will drill with safety
and security for the shallow sand where a semi
refined oil of great value is found. From this
source l expect a substantial income to perpet-
uate dividends.
On 10000 acres in Crane County l expect to
encounter gushcr production at less than 1000
feet Here, l anticipate getting a 5000 to
5.OOO-barrel well, and from the sale of acreage
surrounding it 1 expect to derive sufficient quick
cash to enable me to declare at least a 100 per
cent dividend leaving the well and several thou
sand acres of leases to be a constant source of
revenue and profit to my unitholders and myself.
Then for Kaufman County. By May 10 I in
tend to spud in my first well on 5000 acres in
Kaufman County-by that time my first Okla
homa well will be drilling on recently acquired

You Need the Wires Now for April Dividend Shower

Folks who joined me six months ago have prohted
handsomely. They have not only gotten all their money
back, but counting the April dividend, they have re-
ceived SIS per cent ITO boot"
Investors who came in with me as recently as go
days ago when my units were selling at a dollar. have
not only received substantial cash dividends, but like
my early associates, they have seen the market value
of their shares double.
Truly, these people are fortunate, but 1 believe that
their good fortune is just beginning.
l believe that those who join me now, those who
subscribe for my units AT TODAY'S MARKET PRICE
will reap proportionately as great rewards.
A few months ago it was impossible for any mortal
to predict what success / would have in this venture
my acreage was unproven-my "grubstake" plan of de-
velopment untried. l might succeed then, but / also
might have failed.
But now things are different. My geological re-
ports on our acreage are accepted as almost conclusive
evidence of the existence of oil-my "grubstake" OPP
Grating plan is recognized as an epoch-making depar-
ture in industrial organization-it seems l cannot fail
now-my success is regarded as a certainty.
My only concern now is to extend the family circle
of rny unithoIders into an overwhelming arc.

My financing may soon be over.
dividend should follow dividend with monotonous
regularity say, my units should advance soon-that
is not all-they will advance steadily.
From $500 to $4.OO-from $500 to $6.Oo-from
$500 to $8.O0-from $500 to $10.00-from$ $1,000 to
$1,000. On and on, upward and upward; in fact. be-
$4,000 to $4,000 each, l verify believe.
I have explained all-you understand now that if
you wish to join me and participate in the April divi-
dend, your reservation must reach me by midnight
April 10-mail will not reach me in time.
You need the wires now-telegraph your reserva-
ton, mail your check.

Unjust predict again.

One by one in sure succession each of my predic-
lions have become a reality.
I predicted that acreage values surrounding my
various drilling locations would rise-they have.
Now 1 predict that the few remaining unsold shares
IN my syndicate will be quickly subscribed. I predict
that before my next dividend date is announced every
single, solitary unit of the present limited allotment at
$500 per share will have been issued.
l predict that many people will be disappointed if
they delay too long to join me IN this project while
units are selling at $500 each.
What the price of my shares will be when the pres
emit limited allotment is exhausted, cannot say-per-
haps $500 or $500 or $500, because-
By that time my first well in San Saba County should
be producing, and our 1000 acres there should be
worth 81 100000.
By that time our drill may have pierced the pay sand
may be readily salable at many times the total CAPT.
talization of the syndicate.
By then my Kaufman County well should be near
ing the Woodbine sand and the well and 5~,O00acre
lease there may be yielding a great big fortune in oil
every day.
So great is my confidence in my three Texas well
sites and my Oklahoma location that i cannot help but
feel that it is but a matter of weeks now until my syn
dictate will be recognized as one of the most prohta-
bic industries in the southwest, and my unitholders
and myself regarded as one of the ~weaIthiest groups
of people in th;s country.
Just think of it: 155 per cent cash dividends in six
months-four wells contracted for, many, many more
wells planned-several big acreage deals pending
literally millions of dollars in profits possible.
The April cash dividend of 10 per cent will be paid
vations received up to midnight of the 10th will par
ticipate In this melon-cutting.
You need the wires now-telegraph your reserva-
tion-mail your remittance.
Just say you want to be with me.
I'll do the rest.
