MAKES PROFIT OF $4,000
WITHOUT CASH INVESTMENT
Texas Man Earns $500 Every 20
Hours for 60 Days by Truck
ing Oil Supplies.

Workman, Texas. John Riley
stands to clean up $4,000 in go days
on a shoe string investment. He
was attracted here by the recent big
oil discovery and upon arrival found
that there was a freight blockade,
due to the enormous increase Of rail-
road traflc.
The oil operators and other persons
were clamoring for their shipments
of derrick timbers, well equipment
and general supplies Riley had only
a few dollars in his pockets, but It
occurred to him that he might turn
the car blockade to his personal finan-
cial advantage He quickly learned
that the loaded cars were for the
most part tied up in the yards at
Mexia, ten miles south of the new
oil field, and that the congestion was
also in Workman and upon the sid
ings Of the railroad between here and
Mexia.
The biggest operator in the field
is the Humphreys Boyd Oil company.
Riley went to the office of Col. w.
E. Humphreys, head Of the company.
He refused to state his business to
any but Colonel Humphreys himself.
Colonel I've Is big trucks. How
much will you give me for their
user"
Without hesitation Colonel Hum
phreys said;
Zone hundred dollars day each
for ten hours.
Riley closed the deal, hoped a
train for Wichita Falls hunted up
10 truck drivers who owned their own
trucks, engaged them at $50 day
each for ten hours and an additional
driver for ten hours night service and
returned to Noftham and closed an
other deaf for use Of the trucks DUR
ing. ten hours Of the night at 500
each. The contract runs 60 days.
giving him $500 profit every 20
hours, or $4,000 without any capital
except his own ability to see an o.
portunity and seize It.

WHY FARMING DECLINED

A review OF the present status Of
agriculture in New England has
shown that the more important con-
tributing causes Of the condition
which exists are: Waste Of farm re-
sources; failure to understand and
practice the fundamental principles
Of business; lack OF an adequate pro.
gram Of farm management and soil
management, with the attendant de.
pletion OF soil fertility; choice Of I'M.
suitable and cftentimes unmarketable
varieties; the use Of poor seed; the
keeping and breeding Of inferior ami
mails; the use OF purchased feeds in
stead OF home grown grain; quantity
instead of quality production; and
failure to grade prodace properly and
according to law. The decline OF
New England agriculture presents q
serious problem which deserves the
most careful study Banleer-F Farmer.
