 Especial Gateway Feature)
 (By Babe Hayes
 Enoch Bond of Bond and Bond, Auckland, New Zealand, who with Mrs. Bond visited Alaska in 1929, commenting on his trip says:
 Whilst we enjoyed the trip to Japan, China and the Phillipine Islands very much, the trip to Alas ka was a pleasure we shall never forget, and anyone taking that trip would have life long memories of the snow clad mountains and islands and glaciers and the calm deep waters tapping the shore. With kind regards and many thanks for your kindness to us whilst travelling from Skagway to Vancouver.
 Guy B. Frank. a prominent real estate man of Des MoineS, Iowa, who in company with Mrs. Brunk, made the Alaska trip a few years ago speaking of the trip says:
 we have enjoyed many nice trips by rail, on boats, and by auto but we feel that one of the most delightful is the trip along the Alaska Gulf to your city and the many other points of interest. And we hope that we may be per mitted to travel that way again. MT. Nichols, who represents the Iowa Homestead, remembers your courteous interest in his welfare and like us, is very enthusiastic over the beauties of the country"

 H. J. Stewart, vice president of the First National Bank of Wich- ita Kan, made the trip a few years ago, accompanied by Mrs Stewart. Speaking of the trip, he says:
 My wife and I returned home in good shape We found everybody here we'll and business matters in good condition. We enjoyed our trip greatly, and think much more highly of Alaska than we did be- fore the trip"

These are generally known
facts. Every man who reads them
KNOWS that the oil business has
not "gone to pot. " A friend told
us this week that he met in Den
yer an oil producer Of the Mid
continent who has 1900 barrels
Of daily production. This pro-
Queer was trying 70 borrow
-FOUR HUNDRED DOLLARS to
take care Of his hotel bills in
Denver. His leases are shut down.
They win STAY shut down until
he is starved to = point where
someone else can make a lot Of
money ont Of his losses. The
farmers TO whom he has been
paying fat royalty checks more
than $1,000 a day-are today
impoverished although rich.
The man who can HANG ON
until the oil industry opens up
again win make a great fortune.
The man who cannot hang on
viii sell out to someone who CAN
hang on and the buyer will be
the one who makes a fortune.

The man who is the calibre Of
one whose name appears in the
Blue Book looks at this same
property. He sees not the idle
wells but the ever-growing stream
Of automobile traffic on the high
ways. He sees the ever-increasing
uses of oil and oil products in
aviation the greatest gasoline
eater in industry-in truck trans
portation as gasoline burning We

The man who would succeed
will acquire in times of depres-
sion the thing that he desires
most in times Of prosperity. There
Is not a man or woman in the
country who would not like to
have some royalties which will
pay a steady income. For the
man Of modest means some roy
alties that win pay from SIS to
$40 day would be a most vel
come asset. For the man Of mod
crate means, an income Of $40
to $50 a day, coming in during
good times and bad times, with
no effort beyond the effort Of
keeping track Of the settlements.
is something to be desired. All
this is available. but in times of
prosperity the man who has such
a proposition is unwilling 70 give
it up. If he sells, he viii demand
a high price for it, frequently
beyond the means or good judg-
ment Of the man who desires to
buy it.

These facts cannot escape con-
sideration, and to the investor
they mean the difference between
buying a NECESSITY today for
$40 and buying the same NECES
STTY a month or year hence for
800. If oil rs a necessity in the
world today, then the present
offers the greatest opportunity
in the history Of the world. The
oil industry has made greater
personal fortunes than any other
branch Of industry in the past.

win it do for its participants ia

But in times Of depression the
situation Is different. The in

pump working. The owner, de-
prived Of the income, is borrow
ing money to maintain his home.
There is no immediate prospect
Of the lease having any further
development. II is a pretty dreary
situation. The average man backs
away from it. He wants a go
ing concern. He win wait until
it is operating again, before he
buys. Of course, when II is oper-
ating again, the owner doesn't
want to sell-and 50 it goes.

Despite the fact that consump-
ton Of gasoline will be greater,
the refiners Of the country are
starting off this season with less
gasoline than they had last year.
If every refinery stopped today,
there is just enough gasoline in
storage in refineries in the coun-
try TO last as TWENTY -FOUR
DAYS. Refiners have 5000, 600
barrels less gasoline in storage
now than they had at this time
one year ago.

The best illustration Of the law
Of success in business we ever
saw was cartoon intended to
ridicule Wall Street.
1t showed a high wall with
pulley at the top. A rope over
the pulley had seat at each end.
so arranged that when one seat
was at the top on one side the
other was at the bottom on the
other side.
The outside Of the wall was
marked for the public" The
inside Of the wall was marked
Wall Street"
At the top Of the wall on the
outside was a hole in the wall,
marked tbuy here" and at the
bottom Of the wall was another
hole marked "sell here. I"
On the inside the holes in the
wall were marked Just the re-
verse. At the top hole was a sign
sen here" and at the bottom
hole sign "buy here"
When the public is buying at
the top the Wall Street capital
ist is selling at the bottom and
when the public is selling the
Wall Street capitalist is buying
The rank and file Of the peo-
pie create that condition. Wall
Street is composed Of men who
take advantage Of the facts.
The man who knows enough 20
sell when prices are high and buy
when prices are low moves into
Wall Street. There are so few
men who know this simple rule
of success that their names are
household words in the commun-
tiles in which they live.
How fortunate it is that this
condition exists. The public
doesn't ''get fleeced" by Wall
Street. The people on Wall Street
are inst smart enough to know
that the public DOES buy at the
peak and DOES sch at the bot
tom. Except for that, the rich
would not get richer at the ex-
pense Of the public.
If the average man viii look
around himself he win see that
he sits among the greatest oppor-
tunities Of his lifetime. That does
not mean the stock market. II
means all lines Of business. He
can buy property of any sort for
fraction Of its former worth
He can make money do things
that were never before possible
Every branch Of industry has its
opportunities. The man who
KNOWS what he is doing can
take advantage Of a situation
which win make him wealthy.

Benefits of Sanitary
Science to Human Life

There has been no increase in
the life span. 1t is probably the
same today, even in Europe and
America, as it has been during the
entire historical period. AS indi-
viduals we have no greater ca
pacity to enjoy a long life today
than had our ancestors, not to
mention the mythical age of Old
Testament patriarchs. On the
other hand, the average duration of
life has greatly increased during the
last century as the result of the
application of sanitary science. Ex-
traordinary gains have indeed been
made, not, however, in making more
centenarians, or even more non
agenarians, but rather in bringing
more people safely through the
hitherto dangerous period of in
fancy and having them survive into
childhood, early adult life and ma
turity. The average duration of
life, or as it is often called, the ex-
pectatiOn of life, is, consequently,
today eighteen years more than it
was a century ago-Louis |. Dub

Milton High IN Ranks
Of Lovers of Liberty

Milton combined in his temper
ament the artist and the reformer.
His love of beauty was excelIed only
by his love of duty, William Lyon
Phelps writes, in the New York
Evening Post.
The watchWord of his life was
liberty Milton was so stanch
fighter for political liberty that in
many parts of Europe he was re-
garded as an anarchist. His DE
Tense of the English People" was
publicly burned at Paris and at
Toulouse. When King Louis XIV
required his ambassador at Lon
don to report on all the dfstin-
guished writer's in England, the re-
port contained zone named Mil
tOnius, who has made himself more
Infamous by his dangerous writings
than the murd6rers and assass
of the king"
Milton always stood for civil, do
nestle and religious liberty: and.
like many sincere lovers of liberty,
he had a magnificent talent for the
inOppOrtune. Nearly all the poets
wrote Odes in praise of Cromwell
during his reign; but when King
Charles II returned, these poets
FASTENED under cover and saluted
in verse the new regime. But in
the very year of the kings return.
1000, Milton published pamphlet
called a Ready and Easy WAY to
Establish a Free Commonwealth"

Country's Foggiest Spot

The foggiest spot in the United
States frightened a little in 1890,
and had only 1852 hours of fog, So
lighthouse keepers at Moose Peak,
Maine. have reported to the light
house service of the Department of
Commerce. At Moose Peak, rec
ords for the last 16 years show a
yearly average of 1907 hours Of
fog. Runners-up on Moose Peaks
record are Libbey island and Petit
Manan. also on the Maine coast.
They are foggy a good bit of the
time, but cannot match Moose
Peaks figures The United States
lighthouse service states that Point
Reyes light station holds the rec
ord for fog on the Pacific coast,
with an average of 1,39S hours
year for 45 years.-Grit.
