BENJAMIN FRANKLIN: 17O6--1

Tis hard for an empty bag to stand
upright said Poor Richard, whose am
bition was to make not many men
rich, but all men well-to-do.
And in this day we are faced with
the absolute necessity of financing a
fabulously costly war, plus increased
cost Of living, many person feels like
the empty bag" referred to. The fact
is now, as il was when Benjamin Frank
lin wrote the homely sayings Of Poor
Richard. that this is the time to DO
SOMETHING ABOUT 1T, as never

be used in laboratory research to de-
velop more efficient methods This
rating is also applied to:
Materials to be used by producers
exclusively for search for unknown
pools by drilling and completion OF any
exploratory well.
Materials required by refiners as op-
Grating supplies, such as reagents, ad-
ditives, and compounding materials.
Materials to be used for repair Of
the transportation equipment when
there has been an actual breakdown
or suspension of operations, and the
essential material IS not otherwise
available.
With these exceptions, all materials
requested for production, refining and
transportation are given A-8 ratings.
In the field Of marketing, A-l0 ratings
are given to materials to be used for
maintenance, repair, or operating sup
plies.
The high ratings-A-1-a through
A-2-must be applied for by telegraph
ic communication to the Office Of Pc
troleum Co-ordinator in Washington.
Before the other ratings are to be
applied, the purchase orders on which
the ratings have been placed must be
countersigned by the Director IN
Charge Of the nearest district office
of the Office of Petroleum Co-ordi-
nator.
Certain restrictions are set up in
connection with the granting of rat
ings. They forbid the application of
ratings to obtain: "a scarce materials
where substitute materials are prac-
ticable; (2) more material and at
earlier dates than necessary; 90 more
than minimum practical inventory;
and "a material for any use which
is prohibited or limited in any way
by any order issued by the Director
of Priorities, other than material to
be used in conformity with such order.
For preference rating assistance
other than that created by the terms
of the P-98 order, oil operators may
file applications with the Office of
Petroleum Co-ordinator in Washington.
The foregoing is the official state
ment issued by the OPC:
With some 10000 producers, several
hundred refiners and pipeline operat-
ors and 100000 marketers, the Wash
ington business, along with the tele-
graph business, is due for sudden
impetus. A Division of Materials"
headed by William F. Huff, director,
explained in another column of the
Journal, has been set up to act on
preference ratings or allocations ALI
PD-1 applications will be reviewed by

cause upon his precepts of thrift and
enterprise are based the American way
of life. By these precepts the American
has been able to go on his own
tree to make terms-free to fix condi-
tions-free to apply individual skill to
each Individual undertaking as part and
parcel of the plan looking to INDI-
VIDUAL INDEPENDENCE.
The purchase of oil lands or oil row
alties affords the investor with an in
vestment in which he is the master and
riches are to the careful investor.
The new spacing rules Zone well to
4O acres) are going to compel the de-
velopment of many outside tracts, if
Montana oil fields are to supply refin-
cry and market requirements. This
means the drilling of NEW TRACTS
and the exploration of NEW AREAS.
This situation opens the door of op-
portunity to royalty investors The in
vestor who is alert can buy royalties
under or near these new wells. If he
buys cheaply, he may sell part of his
royalty at profit during the drilling
of the well; and when the we'll comes
in he is provided wFh opportunity for
early profit
While riches may come, that is not
the motive. Royalties are more likely
to make many men "well-to-do," af-
fording opportunity to make money at
a time when it is needed most. That
is one 'of the few ways that the aver
age person, lacking such as highly
profitable government contracts, can
expect to get ahead, as he MUST do
in these times. In the words of Poor
Richard again, MONEY MAKES
MONEY AND THE MONEY THAT
MONEY MAKES, MAKES MORE
MONEY"-and idle money is as costly
as idle hands.
In our current publication we are
propounding an interesting topic
IF GIVEN YOUR CHOICE OF
ANY ROYALTY IN THE kelvin
SUNBURST AREA, WHICH ONE
WOULD YOU CHOOSE?"
That involves some interesting think
ing in the light of changed conditions
and points to the possibilities of the in
evitable earnings to come this year and
in future years The earnings are in
evitable because out of every million
barrels of oil produced, one-eighth or
121z@6 of that million barrels-125,OOO
barrels-goes to the royalty owners.
