Completion of Well

The well is expected to be completed in about TWENTY-FIVE
days from the time it is started. A portion of the properties ad-
joining the well is on the market at reasonable prices. which will
be announced later. We feel Kelvin is located on proven oil land.
therefore the well should be a producer of oil or gas, either oil or
gas will make these properties valuable, and anyone desirious Of
making an investment should look our proposition up, we feel we
can give you value received for your money. If the well is a pro-
Queer of gas or oil, there will be, we expect, a couple Of derricks
on each block. That won't look bad, will it, if you own a lot or
two within a few feet of the present derrick.

Aid Diversified FARMING

A state bank of Granville, North
DakotS, that is encouraging diversi-
fed farming among it's farmer pa
irons, has purchased some purebred
sires for the benefit of it's customers.
The bank reuliZes the necessity of
good sires for the dairy herd, and has
set aside a certain amount Of money
to be used in having a mar look I'D
animals and ship them to Granville.
Bankers of Lee County, Mississippi.
are employing a dairy trained expert
to give his whole time to the develop
ment of dairying. His salary and ex-
penses are paid by the banks of the
county in proportion to their deposits.
This expert helps to arrange for loans
to purchase cows, sees that the farm
ers have shelter and feed to care for
the cattle, and advises with them in
figuring out rations and in determin-
ing what crops to grow. He makes
special engagements to attend scrub
bull funerals.

THE IMPORTANCE OF
FOREIGN TRADE

For many decades we have pro-
duced a surplus of products Of the
farm that has been sold in foreign
countries. AS long as we continue
to produce a surplus above domestic
consumption, it is a prime necessity
n a there be a market for it. 1t is
true that this surplus is but a frac-
ton of u total production. Never
theleSs, it exerts an effect upon the
price Of the entire output which is
entirely disproportionate to it's rela-
tive size. A country store-keeper may
sell a hundred straw hats at a fair
margin of profit, but the twenty which
he may not be able to sell at all will
wipe out the profit on the entire
stock. The same thing is true of
wheat, of corn, of any product of
the farm.
1t is true that we might exist with
out foreign trade, that we might
depend exclusively upon domestic
consumption. To do that, however,
would require a complete reorganiza-
ton of u whole commercial and
industrial structure, a reorganization
which would require years of time
and which would entail losses beyond
The more reasonable
alternative is to take steps toward the
restoration of a normal foreign mar
ket.-Walter w. Head, President
American Bankers Association.

crackoIogy Theory
Being Put on Trial

The theory that large produc.
ton at the top Of the Manson
limestone in Kelvin field results
from cracks or assures in the
lime running at an angle of 45
degrees to the line of greatest
stress, is to be tried out by the
Beardslee-Bruins No. 2 we'll, To-
Gated 440 feet from the west line
and 600 feet from the north line
of the northwest quarter of Sec
ton 1882. This is on a line SO
corresponding with the Ohio
Baker No. 3 and the Mid-North-
ern Howling No. 3 producers.
According to F. C. Plat of the
Northern Oil Information Bureau
should this well get big produc-
ton it will tend to prove that all
of the large wells are on assures
of this nature and that the fssur-
es can be located by this method.
The Ohio-Baker No. 9 is locat-
ed on a straight line with the
Baker No. 3 and the Bruins No.
2 located as a further test of the
'crackology" theory.

STRAIGHT TALKS
WITH AUNT EMMY
STOP, LOOK AND LISTEN

aunt Emmy" said Jane, Il wis
you would make something clear t
me. Last night Mr.. wilkins and Te'
were talking about bonds. Mr.. Wi
kins said a lot about public utilit-
bonds,' whatever that means, an
seemed to think that they are tn,
greatest things ever so l though
maybe Ted and l might buy one will
that $1,000 Daddy gave us for a wed
ding present, but I'd like to know
more about them first"
"You have the markings of a finan
cier, Jane" laughed Aunt Emmy
since you have sense enough to stop
look and listen before you buy. l like
public utility bonds, too-that is, good
ones. They are bonds issued by cor
porations that serve the public with
something useful, hence the name,
public utility. The gas company, the
electric light and power company, the
telephone and similar companies are
public utility corporations. Their
business is based on real public needs.
But it is also essential that they be
well managed to be a good invest
ment.
"Of course there are other bonds
equally good. Always bear in mind
that when you buy a bond you loan
money to the corporation whose bond
you buy. You do not buy a share of
the business, as you do when you buy
stock. The bond you buy bears in
terest, and this interest must be paid
to you before the company can pay
out a single cent in dividends. New
ertheless bonds must be carefully Sc
lected with the advice of someone
who knows"
"How do you think one can know
if a company Is safe or not, Aunty? 2"
asked Jane.
We'll, that Is difficult. But l should
say that if a company whose bonds
you fancy has been doing a good
business for ten years and has not
failed to pay a dividend during that
the chances are that it will keep
doing as well unless something en-
tirely unforeseen occurs. The best
thing to do is to check up your own
opinion with your banker. Once you
have bought bonds in any corporation
1on't put them away and forget them.
Seek your banks advice from time to
line and keep informed of the prog
'ess of the corporation you are inter
in. If you see anything in the
that alarms you in any way go
1t once to your bank and ask their
about selling out and reinvest-
ng in something else. Banks have
ABILITIES for keeping in touch with
conditions, and they are al
ways glad to help."-ANNE B. AYMEs.

DIRECT
WAR ON CROOKS
Rising Crime Wave and Attacks
on Banks Called Forth In
creased Measures of
Defense.

Criminal activities against banks
have reached unprecedented proper
tons In recent months, according tt
a report made to the American Bank
ers Association by it's Protective
Committee, which directs the work OF
the Association aimed to combat Grim.
inal operations against banks.
"Sharp increases in crime perpe.
trated against banks definitely prove
that instead of being broken the
crime wave has risen to heights here
ternity," the report said. strangers
continue to trick or otherwise in
veigle unsuspecting banks into max
ing generous contributions to their
cause-a terrific toll which defies the
imagination. Bank burglars and hold
up men have apparently redoubled
their activities during the last six
months. The number of criminals
plying their trade in this field has
grown to such proportions hat there
is now a fair sized army comprising
this more desperate type of criminal,
specializing against banks"
Don't cash checks for strangers"
is the warning emphasized by the
Committee in view of the situation.
1t adds:
1--WE are gratifled to report favora-
Bile results in a good proportion Of
cases investigated, which are due to
the nationwide activities of our de-
tective agents through their staff of
specialists in bank crimes. In Mon
tana two fearless, well organized
bands of professional yeggmen attack
ed more than a score of banks with
such reckless abandon that the situa-
ton seemed beyond control. Realiz-
ing that conditions demanded prompt
and drastic treatment, a trained crew
of operatives were delegated to con-
duct a special investigation through
the state Nineteen men and two
women were arrested. Of these four
already are serving sentences, three
are on trial, four are awaiting trial
and the rest were freed for lack Of
evidence.
"A similar roundup was carried out
in Oklahoma. Conditions in other
states similarly bad were investi-
gated and with the cooperation of To-
state and federal authorities and
he co-ordinated activities of mem
bers the percentage of arrests and
has materially increased"
The report pointed out that figures
covering bank burglaries over a pc
'1od Of thirty years showed that 1909
banks, members of the Association
md entitled to it's protective services,
lave been attacked, suffering losses
Iggregating ST. 81 900. while nom
members to the number of 2,357 were
and suffered $4,250,00 0 in
osses. The point was also brought I
ut that there are only half as many 6
as members, so that G
hese losses among them represent an :
excessively high rate as compared :

Kelvin and Its Oil Field
Looks Best To Us Now

we feel hevln IS the place to make some real money, and
make 1t fast, IN our opinion Kelvin will be the center of distribu-
ton OF oil field supplies, it has in its territory today about $50 pro-
duclng wells. the production from these wells at this time. is in the
nelghborhood OF 5000 and 10000 barrels per day, with more wells
being finished and coming in every day.

. The Original Oil Town

Kelvin should be a real town, with oil wells in and all around
it, our opinion is, if you feel like making a small investment where
by you can make some money in a hurry, you should communicate
with us or call in and talk this opportunity over, we are going to
give you as good a chance to make some money as you have ever
had, for practically nothing, we are betting on the we'll, because
we believe it will win.

Carelessness of Modern Living Results in Digestive

DIR. III. S. Thacher's Remarkable Prescrip-
ton Relieves Many

A neglected liver can often cause
more trouble than bottle of poi
son. When the liver is cloggcd and
inactive, it fails to secrete the juices
necessary to digestion and elimina
tion. Worst of all, it fails to puri-
fly the blood properly. When this
happens annoying symptoms tell you
that state of self-poisoning exists
i'll your body.
Symptoms Lead to Sick Bed
1t explains why a sluggish liver is
attended by such symptoms as con
stipation, biliousness, sick headaches,
sourness and gas on a weak stom-
ach, loss of appetite, pains in the
back and sides, and a nervous, run
down condition--symptoms that lead
to the dangerous and expensive sick
bed unless corrected in time.

PROGRAM AROUND
TREE TO BE HELD
CHRISTMAS EVE

Due TO a change in plans, the com
muuity Christmas tree which is to
be presented to the city by the FL
Centro Rotary club, will not be de-
dicated Saturday night, although it
will be in position and lighted at
That time.
Realizing that Saturday night will
be busy one among merchants and
shoppers, il was decided that ydedi-
,cation ceremonies at that time would
cause too much confusion. Also. it
was believed to be more appropriate
to hold the dedication services on
Christmas eve, when there will be
more leisure for the general public.
Joe King, chairman of the Rotary
club Christmas tree committee, said
this morning that tree has been OBJ
tanned and will be placed in posi-
ton either Friday or Saturday morn
ing, so as to allow sufficient time
for decorating it before Saturday
night. At that TINY it will be
lighted and will continue to lte
hgnted each night throughout the
Christmas season.
