I team OF tne SIX ScnOolS III ellml-
nation play. Ell Centro high is
defending champion in the A divi-
sion and Brawley C's hold the
defending honors IN the lightweight
class.
In the two previous tournaments
basketball fans have witnessed
brilliant exhibitions of basketball.
The cage teams OF the valley are
evenly matched and provide close
and exciting contests.
No favorite has been established
in the tournament as yet but the
poor showing made by the Ell
Centro team against the Mt. EN-
pire cagers make the Spartans
anything but favorite.
Brawley high is reputed to have
a strong club and Calexico with
four lettermen back from last
years squad is rated as one Of
the strongest in the loop.

CALIPATRI TO
MEET EMP IR {

Calipatria high schools basket
ball team will make a bid for rec
ognition in the Imperial Valley loop
this afternoon when the Hornets
will meet Mountain Empire high
in a practice game. The tilt will be
played on the Mountain Empire
court.
Mountain Empire knocked over
El Centro high last week in a wild
contest that saw the mountaineers
outplay the Spartans from the open
ing tip-off.
Calipatria, however. has been
working out for more than month
and as a result has developed a
smooth working attack which may
prove the downfall Of the Empire
squad.
The C teams of the two schools
will tangle in a preliminary game.

With more improvement the Cali
patrianS will be tough to beat.
Imperial and Holtville appear to
be the weak sisters Of the league.
Neither team was able to make
a good showing against the Ell
Centro Jaycee reserves and their
showing failed to reveal any star
Ting players or pays around which
to build a winning aggregation.
In the C division Ell Centro,
Brawley and Imperial look as the
strongest teams. Brawley, defend

Ell Centro and Imperial have
strong squads defensively but the
scoring ability of their players will

THIS IDENTICAL FARM, in years
past. 1t was worth that much then and
is worth that much now, in view of its
possibilities. 1t is within the same
contour as the Emmons 40, and is in
the same oil field, so that is as far as
anyone can go IN guessing that the
next 10-barrel well completed will be
offsetting tract that will produce
10000 barrels to the acre.
On the other hand, we are not going
to buy royalties on the basis of an
expectancy of a recovery of 10000
barrels to the acre. The royalty re-
ferred to is on a basis of a recovery
OF DO barrels to the acre. If it yields
100 barrels to the acre, it will pay
back the investment plus 100 per cent
profit. For each additional so barrels
per acre, this investment will yield
100 per cent profit
That is the way FORTUNES are
made in royalty investments. There
cannot be the slightest doubt that the
worlds greatest opportunities in roy
atty investments are offered here to-
day, right in Kevin-Sunburst oil field.
A combination of circumstances which
viii never be repeated make it pos
sible for an investor of moderate
means to lay the foundation Of a
personal fortune from the investment
of a relatively small sum of money
NOW.
Six months from now that viii not
be possible. We can make this pos
sitive statement, because practically
all the royalties which we purchased
earlier in the year are distributed
among our members.
We have another bargain royalty
in Kevin-Sunburst field in readiness
to go out next week It will be sent
to those who request it.

WV HEN man goes into the oil
W industry he has a right to
more than interest on his
money. Many people accustomed to
other lines of industry can see no
farther than the rate of interest ON
their money which a corporation is
willing to pay its stockholders. That
does not apply to investment in leases
or royalties. We deal only in roy
alties We try to combine maximum
of security with every Investment:
by that we mean that we try to in
vest our money at place where it
will yield a maximum return with
the least risk.
When we go in between two pro-
ducing wells and buy a royalty, we
can usually consider it as "proven
ground. If it is between two 1000
barrel wells we will have to pay lot
more for it, probably, than if it were
between two 10-barrel wells. In some
fields this many be justified-but
mostly not The average buyer would
figure that he could afford to pay
so times as much for area between
two 1,0O0-barrel wells as for area be-
tween two 10-barrel wells. We do not
figure that way.

west Yet that 40 acres has thus far
produced FORTY THOUSAND BAR
RELS OF OIL TO THE ACRE. When
each acre produces 10000 barrels of
oil worth 81 per barrel, we find a roy
atty earning of $500 per cent per
acre. To the person who bought
royalty for 81 per cent per acre we
see the fabulous 40O-to-1 ratio of
success.
That is not the expected thing in
Kevin-Sunburst field. There may be
other 40-acre tracts in the field that
have produced as much as 10000
barrels to the acre. We do not know,
but we know that as result of the
yield of this tract and Of the Byrne

others we know have had tremendous
yields, we are certain that we can
make no mistake when we buy roy

tours at the prices which are now

Whether there is one 40-acre tract
within the 800 acres that will duph-
