nature: $F
Mr.. Robertson had been a resident Of Grand

our people with whom he had come in contact. He
was a young man of exceedingly modest and retir-

OF his intellect and the warmth of his sympathies.
He gave promise of wise leadership and great use

O. PoP~1s RIGHT,

Rheumatism is a form OF. infec-
ton. The common a~rticular rheu-
matiem, sometimes called rheumatic
fever. is, generally due to Infection
with some n Of the streptococci.
But while this Is the direct cause of
the disease, there may be contribut-
Ing factors. 'a x
People have always thought there
was a relation between the weather
and rheumatism: They hold that
cold. damp weather Is a cause, and
that the late autumn, winter ana the
early spring were the seasons Of
prevalence. VI
Newsholme threwa bomb into this
opinion In 1896 by publishing q sta
tistcal study which proved that the,
popular opinion wa Numerically
wrong. :.
These studies show that In the

WHERE THE EGGS COME FROM

Fhe price of eggs has a habit of soaring in the
winter time because production falls off then. OF
the theory that there are people in control of the
egg market who are interested in boosting the price
.of eggs at some time of the year, and that they are
careful to do this just when nobody has any eggs
TO sell. Those to whom this explanation is suffici-
|ent and satisfactory will doubtless sympathizc with
the>old chap who, in pointing out the numerous
ways in which the universe is improperly construct
ed and operated called attention to the TACT that the
sun shines only in the day time, when it i, light,
and is absent at night when its presence il: much
more needed on account Of the darkness.
Anyway, eggs are costly in the winter season,
makes for high prices, our winter :importations are
large. China is one Of our most important sources
Of supply. !. =.
leans ought to- know more about is the Chinese
business in dry and frozen eggs, tons of which prod
.ucts come into this country. every year. The fol-
lowing description of one Of the largest American
factories in Shanghai has just been received, The
eggs used in this plant are obtained from FIVE differ
ent provinces of China, the majority coming by
rail and boak from the lower Yangtze Valley. As
there are nospoultry farms in China, the eggs come
from small armer who have from-fve to ten hens.
The eggs are concentrated in 81 stations through
cut this area and in from Ave. to seven days from
the time the egg Is laid IT is used in the factory. The
eggs are first cooled and the ones with broken shells

Secondhand Wells Of Cat Greek

was brought in to drill in 20 wells, and if
they average up with other Cat Greek wells,
Golden West will pay fabulous profits
into. the pockets of its stockholders.
A second well was spudded in on this
tract last week and within another thirty days,
with average drilling luck, the stockholders
should be enriched by another producing
well. Continuous development energetically
carried out is the Company's program on this
lease.
In addition to its 80 acres in Cat Creek,
the Golden West controls three thousand acres
in the Black Butte district, an offshoot Of Cat
Creek, where the Golden West is now drilling

One Dollar Per Share

This is the same price stockholders paid
for GOLDEN WEST before we tapped the
rich second sands and demonstrated that in
the Golden West we had another Homestake
or So Petroleum, with the element of chance
largely eliminated. We will sell this stock
for ST per share down, or for $1.O5 cents per
share if purchased on the installment plan.
For those who are not in a position to pay
all cash this offer gives an opportunity Of
tieing up a fairly good-sized block of stock
for four months. Stock on the installnent
plan will be sold on a basis of rs cents per
share down, and 20 cents per share on the
first of each month thereafter until the total
of $1.O5 cents per share is paid in. To my
mind, this is an especially attractive offer,
as with an initial payment of $3.50 the investor
may tie UP 1000 shares of Golden West, and
pay in at the rate Of $500 per month for the
ensuing four months. In the meantime de-
%velopment work is going forward on Golden
West properties, with all their potential
wealth-producing possibilities.
/ strongly recommend to my clients the
purchase of Golden West stock, as the best
offering in the Cat Creek district. I do not
see how the investor can help making money
out of this stock.

The Cat Greek oil field is only about two
years old. 1t is the richest little oil field IN
the world. The federal government, in a re-
cent bulletin, credited it with being the third
largest producing field in the mountain coun-
try. This credit was given it several months
ago when it had but 81 producing wells. 1t
now has 1O2 oil wells. A year from now it
may have four times this number, as develop
ment work is only fairly started. The wealth
development of the district has been amazing.
Small wonder, because Cat Greek oil is richer
by far than the oil produced in any other
western field. The oil is SO rich that the
Standards product, instead Of being refined
in the west, is shipped all the way to Indiana,
where, by the Burton process, it is Cracked"
as the trade expression goes, into commercial
gasoline, yielding as high as 80 per cent in
gasoline values.
