HOW TO CAPITALIZE WAR

NAY AR is inhumane and curse to
w civilization yet the person who
fails to capitalize the present war
is indeed a wastrel of opportunity. Great
volume of international trade not other
wise possible, grows out of the present
war. Greater trade means opportunity
to exchange goods for gold, on an adj
vantageOus basis.
Foreign trade of the United States
is running 40 per cent above the 1899
level. EurOpe's appetite for American
oil, airpIanes, metals raw cotton, chemt-
Gals and machinery is Gargantuan. 1t
offers the greatest opportunities in many
decades. How can these opportunities
be capitalized?
Many investors are fearful that sudden
ending of the war will wipe out their
investments in war such as airpIane fac
tories, munition works and the like.
They fear to invest in mining and pro-
ductiOn of base metals lest at the end
OF the war there shall be great surplus
and Over-production, with resultant de-
cline in prices. There seems no inn
mediate prospect of early ending of the
war. however, these fears are pre-
mature The conversations of America
MIR. Welles with Herr Hitler have con-
WINGED Washington that the war has
scarcely begun: that the possibilities OF
an early peace are so remote that it is
safe to build mp industries on the pros
poet of continued war business.
However, the investor must carefully
check over the war babies to find
one that is most likely to continue In
prosperity AFTER the war-nO matter
when the war ends. AirpIane manu-
facture as an example, may reach such
proportions that when the war ends
there will be great glut in the market
unless these factories are quickly convert
ed into manufacture of planes which Will
come into as common use as the s'flivveF"
which effectively displaced the horse
within the memory of most adults. But
there is the possibility of slump In
airpIane stocks.
We heard this point discussed by a
group of business men recently. They
discussed, one by one, ship-building, the
manufacture of trucks, of tractors and
tanks, airplanes, locomotives, ETC., and
one of the five who had remained silent
spoke up and remarked, tersely:
And they all burn petroleum"
Which brings us to scrutiny of OIL
as a war investment. While most war
commodities have gone up i'm price the
most necessary of war commodities, OIL,
has not increased in price. The person
who would buy copper with the hope OF
selling it to warning nations finds the
price mp 25 per cent from the price be-
fore the war-and so on with other

diesel-driven locomotives and all the
crack steam trains are compelled to use
fuel oil burners, in order to compete.
Greater efficiency through use of oil
in its various forms commands its grow
ing place in industry.
The man who would capitalize all
this can do no better than to BUY OIL
IN UNDERGROUND STORAGE against
the day that it will be highly profitable
to someone to produce and market it.
This is possible through the purchase
of landowners royalties. So long as in
dividuaI property rights are respected
in this world the farmer or landowner
will be guaranteed his share of the oil,
produced and saved for him free of cost
of production.
The man who bought royalties In Mon
tana 10 years ago had little assurance
that he would ever make anything. Yet
in the elapsed years Montana royalty
owners have received over $12,OOO,OOO
during a period of market uncertainty.
Today the royalty investor is armed with
the history of development of various
types of fields: knows about what to
expect from any potential or producing
oil property; and knows that for the
first time Montana has established
market for its crude. Today the market
demand exceeds the daily average pro-
duction. Greater fortunes are to be made
in the future than i'm the past Greater
returns per dollar invested are possible
i'm oil royalties than in any other form
of investment of which we know, as a re-
suit of this favorable situation.
Storage oil i'm Montana is at an alb
solute minimum. The natural rate of
present producing wells makes 1t inn
perative that more wells be drilled. This
is the first time this condition has OBJ
tanned in many years. Certainly the Mon
tana situation is on the up-turn, yet 1t
has not resulted in curtailing invest
ment opportunities to any appreciable
extent We can still buy royalties
depression bhsis," possibly excepting
wildcat royalties. and none should be
Interested i'm wildcat royalties until such
time as the far more certain royalty
properties in proven fields are absorbed.
NOW Is THE TIME TO BUY PRO
DUCTNG ROYALTIES, on the basis of
curtailed operations. It is possible to
buy royalties today on farms that have
had no drilling i'm many years yet which
are positively proven from end to end
as oil land. Their development will come
with the growing call for more crude
which we know is at hand.
Those desiring to participate in the
purchase of producing royalties should
get ia touch with ms. Offering sheets will
be forwarded only to those who re-
quest them.

New 8-Hour Bill
For District Women
Being Studied
Proposed Law Designed
To Correct Deficiencies
Found by Board

Far-reaching revision Of the
eight-hour law for woman workers
In Washington is under considera-
ton by District officials in order to
remedy deficiencies already found
by those charged with enforcement
in the District Minimum Wage
Board.
Many violators have escaped, it
was charged, and some who were
caught by inspectors could not be
convicted, it was said, because of
lax provisions in the act.
Drawn up by Matt Mahorner of
the ONCE Of the corporation coun-
sci, with recommendations from
Department of Labor experts, the
draft of new law to supplant the
old one Is under scrutiny at the
District Building, with two pro-
visions already questioned-one for
q minimum fine of S25 and the other
which would provide that the pres
erce Of a person on his place of
business after hours would be prima
facie evidence she was working
overtime.
Fixes Eight-Hour Day.
Restrictions in the new draft pro-
vide that no employer could employ
girl or woman more than 48 hours
q week, not more than eight hours
day, nor six out of seven consec-
utive days except secretaries and
stenographers in professional offices,
who In no instance could work more
than 48 hours in a week.
All shifts of work must fall within
II consecutive hours and no one
could be compelled to work more
than flve hours without half an
hour for q meal. In cases of emer-
gency, such as fire, floods, storm,
epidemics, illness. requiring excess
working time, where life and prop
erty must be preserved, women
could work overtime if a permit is
