Tsorful Scenes

oWhile a crowd estimated at
more than 1000 waved goodbye,
20 draftees from the Mount
Clemens-W Warren township dis
trict left on board a Grand
Trunk train at $40 o'clock last
night for Detroit, where they
were indicted into the United
States army this morning.
Most of the draftees broke
through a milling crowd OF
wives, relatives and sweethearts
to board the train. Some Of the
men and at least 100 women

Is 1t Not Time to Face the Future?

times of depression. Land that will
raise bushels to so bushels of wheat
to the acre; soil that will grow sugar
beets; land that will yield gold; land
that will yield petroleum-all these are
valuable in proportion to their produc-
tivity.
Then should an investor go to one
of these great boom cities and buy real
estate?
Hardly Anyone who has seen one
of the mushroom towns adjacent to
the great war plants of the Pacific
Coast, as an example, can visualize
what is going to happen when the war
ends. Hundreds of thousands of men,
suddenly without jobs, are going to
walk out of their unpaid-for homes and
move back into the plains country where
they can get living FROM THE
SOIL. Initiation in the price of real es-
tate in the boom" areas definitely
warns the investor who wants to make
a SAFE investment.
Here in Montana we have this year
seen $20-an-acre land raise so bushels
of wheat to the acre. We saw newly
plowed prairie land raise 20 bushels
of high-protein premium wheat to the
acre: a crop worth double the purchase
price of the land, IN A SINGLE
YEAR.
Irrespective of the devaluation of
currency or the collapse of commodity
prices, it is not possible that an acre
of ground that will raise so bushels of
wheat per annum, or an acre of ground
containing an ounce of gold per ton
of rock, or an acre of ground that will
produce 10000 barrels of petroleum
can in idleness lose all value.
In these times we believe in IN
VESTMENT IN LANDS. So long as
a man pays proper price for it, there
is no land that will not be worth
SOMETHING in years to come. Left
idle it may earn nothing and not ap-
preciate in value. But undepleted land
is not likely to remain idle for long,
especially in these areas where there
has been and will be NO BOOM.
Let d man set aside his savings and
buy some land-40 acres or 80 acres
or 100 acres or whatever amount he
can afford. He will then have some
money "buried" in depression-proof
spot He will have converted some of
the initiation money into something
tangible
The man who goes wild and buys
and thousands of acres will,
of course, end up with a burden of
taxes which are as bad as stock bought
on margins. The writer can testify in
this regard, from an experience in the
last depression. He learned the lesson
that he should buy only as much as a
man can reasonably pay for and afford
to keep: thus the suggestion of buying
40 acres on up to $40 acres, which is
getting up in the higher brackets"
Although they perhaps didn't know
it, some of the smartest investors in
America in the boom preceding the 1929
panic were those who bought Montana
farm mortgages. The federal land bank
has taken away that lucritive business

MOST STATES of the United States
I4 excepting Montana and North
Dakota-are enjoying a boom of un-
precedented proportions as a result of
the preparedness program spending
Everyone makes money on rising
market The merchant sells his stock
at marked-up prices. The workman gets
more wages. Fees and charges of all
kind go up. With practically every able
bodied man in the country employed,
there is more buying, more profits AT
the same time there is curtailed spend
ing as the government removes LUX
ury' items which people would other
wise buy in these times. Fewer cars,
fewer refrigerators, radios and other
items will be bought; even home build
ing is being curtailed. Greater curtail-
ments are coming, in the name of pa
triotism People will be forced to SAVE
their extra earnings.
Once money is saved, what will be-
come of it? What does INITIATION
do to money. We know that initiation
is coming, as certainly as the rising
of the sun. Then will come the crash
Every adult who reads these lines re-
members painfully the meaning of the
word Crash" from the events of 1929
1882,
If we can judge by the explosive re-
suits of initiation in Europe we know
that few years hence stocks and bonds
even the bonds of the greatest ma
tions of the world-are likely to slither
downward, some of them down to the
value Of the paper on which they are
printed
What can the average man-who is
trying to get ahead by building up for
the future hard times that we KNOW
are coming can he do?
1t would be silly to assert that any
one not professional speculator can
obtain complete protection. However,
there are steps that the man of modest
means can take to protect his family
and himself The explosive phase of in
flation has invariably been marked
either by a speculative orgy or by
panic flight from the monetary unit in
an attempt to convert it into something
before all value was lost
Either hope and greed or fear and the
instinct Of self-preservation have been
the dominant mass emotions at such
times. Fear-induced panics have result
ed, in other countries, in complete re-
pudiation of the currency, but that is
not probable in America because of one
all-important factor:
The earning power Of American
lands in agriculture and in mineral
production
Other depressions and panics have
taught us that the one safe place for
AHEAD Of initiation, is in
LAND.
The value of land cannot be depleted
by depressions The value of an acre
If ground is not determined by the
stock market The value of an acre of
ground is based on the amount of nat
iral resources it will PRODUCE.

now but there was no federal land bank
competition when Lander loaned money
on that worthless" farm ii miles north
of Cut Bank. Lander bought" that
farm-perhaps neutrality-suspicious. with
other lands where the landowners re-
fused to pay the mortgages.
The result was that Lander and his
assigns have been forced to endure"
an income of more than TWO HUN
DRIED AND T w EN- T WEIGHT
THOUSAND DOLLARS from royal
ties from a small part of that land, since
1896. He bought a farm that hap
pened to be oil land.
Not accidental was the investment of
William p Yunck, Cut Bank druggist
who diverted every penny he could get
to buy lands north of Cut Bank be-
cause he believed them to be on an
oil structure. He could have bought
more fertile soil elsewhere, perhaps,
but he bought this land because he
knew the land was worth what he paid
for it, as pasture land. Much of it
he was right in his belief that it was
OIL LAND. Royalties on the Yunck
lands have already brought more than
a hundred thousand dollars and that
is barely the beginning.
If an investor is going to buy farm
lands, he should surely buy land in
the "boomless" states. He should get
lands as close to transportation as pos
sible-railroads and highways He
chnt4f1 +1-a of
POSSIBLE AND PROBABLE PRO
DUCTIVITY. He will pay sheep pas
ture prices for sheep pasture and sugar
beet-land prices for sugar beet land
close to a factory. Whatever he buys
he will have sound investment, with
no boom" in the price.
Very WE'LL why should he not go
one step farther and try to get such
farm on known geological fold capa-
bic of producing oil and-or gas?
There are hundreds of known struc-
lures now mapped in petroliferous areas
of Montana.
Why not add the speculative to a
safe, sound land investment?
This is OUR type of investment. This
is the way we of this organization are
investing our money-at the same time
furthering our program of royalty pur-
chases because it is the ROYALTY
that attaches to fee lands that may be
worth fortune such as that enjoyed
by the Landers, the Yuncks, the An
trims and scores of others.
We have available today farm lands
on KNOWN oil structures, some with
producing wells nearby Fortunate is
the man who owns an "oil farm" 1t
is the one investment that will always
be something TANGIBLE.
Until these lands are all gone we
the purchase of these oil
farms in fee simple. Thereafter we will
continue to buy lands on possible and
potential oil and gas structures.
Any who is interested in the pur-
chase of real estate in fee simple on
known oil structures should write to us
