TRACE EARLY RUSSIAN
 WORK; FOUND NEAR HERE

Moose hunters, cruising in the country to the left of the Nash road and up quite distance, report the finding of a hewn stump or log which it is believed the Russians, many years ago, used in the con- struction of small boats and for trafficking around Resurrection Bay.
 The log, which had a good-sized diameter and had been hewn with and axe, was almost entirely de- cayed. This gave evidence that the work had been done many years ago, possibly 50 or 60 years. There was no evidence of chips as it is thought that time had obliterated all traces of these through the ag- ency of decay.

BILL JONES NEEDS MORE INCOME

1 MtUo MUft InGUMt Winter is approaching and the children'S school expense will be higher this year than last. Bill looks forward to less income In the regular way. Many industries have shifted to the "zigzag" plan for their employees in an effort to help everyone thru the winter.
 This means that each employee will have about half as much in come. Prices of clothing and food have come down some, but not in keeping with the "1gzag" income. There will be just as much coal to buy and rent to pay. Bill must buy and rent to pay. Bill must have more money than he can expect from his usual sources.
 He has some money in the sav- ings bank drawing per cent in terest. While it Is true that money was put there for a rainy day" it isn't bringing him any income worth mentioning; and $20 or $40 or even $100 of that wouldn't go very far on rainy day" He needs more money coming in.
 Bill Jones is the average Amer ican. He knows that many man in exactly his financial condition has invested part of his money and has made enough return to give him the added income he needed. But Bill knows there is some speculation with every in- vestment, no matter what it is or how good it sounds
 He doesn't know whether he should take any chances on either his savings account or his present income. Of course his savings ac- count is not absolutely safe; he realizes more money has been lost by depositors thru bank failures during the last 10 years than thru any single line of investment other than the stock market crash in 1929. Being a true American and realizing that nothing risked, nothing gained" he likes to take a chance. Bill is cautious fel- low and wants to speculate, but he doesn't want to lose his money.
 So he losses aside all the wild eyed" promises and impractical guarantees that flood the malls and seeks out a chance to specu- late with the safety of a flowing oil we'll to fall back on if the we'll he bets on turns out to be dry. If the new we'll comes in big, Bill should make profit of 10 times his investment. If he doesn't he still has his money where it should pay him dividends, over period of years, twenty times larger than the savings bank interest. And he has the speculative chance of making real fortune if the new we'll comes in good. He wants to speculate with his fingers crossed, as it were, and that is exactly what he does when he accepts our spe- cial Pool offer, and shares in one gusher while we drill for another.
 Write US for full information, but better still-mail us $40, $100, or even $20O, and share in our next dividend. If you are like Bill Jones, we might help you. !. E. M. Thomasson & O.. Inc. l
