Sept. 6.—Tbe appalling nature of the Japanese earthquake, fir* and tidal wave, with the greatest loss of Uf* nnd property of any similar catastrophe ln modern times, Continues to be told by meager and unconnected press dispatches, and private messages from foreign residents and tourists who survived the holocaust. , But Europe still awaits the graphic story of how the earth shook to pieces, and then consumed ,in flames, Japan's capita), and scores of towns around Tokio bay, including the great, commercial port of Yokohama. On the whole, the news received today Is of a more hopeful nature than any since the disaster, one authoritative message from a British naval official at Yokohama placing the deaths of foreigners in that port at 70. 'The only official estimate la based on home office information from Tokio, that the loss of life there was SO.QQ0. * Not Totally Destroyed AU available information shows that Tokio and Yokohama were not totally destroyed, the foreign residential district of the port city, which Is on a high bluff overlooking the bay, suffering comparatively little damage, while the residential suburban' districts of Tokio alao es- cai>ed. The destruction - in Toklo extends over two-thirds of the metropolitan district of 16 wards, with tha low lying districts completely wiped out. This section also Included Taukl.II, In which, before Japan was com* pletely opened to the western nations, foreigners were compelled to reside. It has recently been occupied prtnclunlly by missionaries. their schools and hospitals. In other Sections of Toklo—Abs- abu, Shlba, I Akasaka, Yotzuya and Ushlgone—where the foreigners live In more or less Isolated foreign compounds, consisting of a few western style houses built on small hills, the ,damage was by" fire, which on ao- count of the number of open spaces, .could be controlled. Conor*!* Stood Test • Other messages received by the London agents ■ of Japanese companies state that Tokio's "sky scraper district escaped destruction. It Is known as Marunoucht, and ts located between the central railway station and the imperial palace, and consists of great blocks of rein- forcei} concrete buildings, which Were at first reported to be a mass of ruins. -They withstood the shock. and the extensive station plaza saved them from the flames. In the Mitsubishi building, which is one of these structures, Is temporarily housed the famous Morrison library, which Is awaiting the completion of the permanent library building of the imperial university. The fire which swept the.eastern and central sections of Toklo after the earthquake, was halted at the railway yard* and the outer palace inoat. ThuB the Tokio central station, many government buildings, and the new imperial hotel, a low structure with architectural lines like ihe Oriental temple, and considered to , be quake proof, escaped damage. Kobj Is Relief Center Refugees continue to flee from the Tokio and Yokohama districts; 840 of them, mostly foreigners, arriving at Kobe on the steamer London Maru. Kobe is the center from Which worldwide foreign relief word is being directed, under an international committee, and the responses for supplies are considered fully adequate to meet the needs. Africa, Canada, Russia, as well as Australia and the United States and Oreat ' Britain, have taken active measures for Immediate needs. Accounts appearing ln the Nagasaki and Kobe newspapers of the foreign relief work have created profound Impression on the Japanese public. T»n*Dsy Moratorium NAGASAKI, Sept. 6.—It is reported here that ft Is altogether likely that the Japanese finance minister will declare a ten-day moratorium.

Another Recommendation Is Separate Detention for Persons Only Arrested MONTREAL, Sept. «.—Recommen- datlons concerning the administration of commercial Justice, which, should they -become law, will bring about a number of changes tn treatment given both convicted prisoners and those who are merely await* ing trial, were passed here today at the meeting of the Canadian Bar, association., They.were contained in the second report of the committee appointed to study the matter. Among : them > were provisions for the classification-of prisoners, a detention -home for arrested* persons awaiting trial, . the establishment o{ Industries 'in 'prisons,, wages for prisoners, and the imposition of in determinate sentences with a view to reforming convicted persons. Hastn Condemns Gloom Condemnation of efforts tending to arouse dissatisfaction with the existing order of things in Canada, or of the feeling that Canada's outlook was dark, was voiced by Sir Douglas Hazen, chief Justice of New" Brunswick. He declared that,'although It was true that too many railways had been built lp Canada, and that the debt of the Dominion was a heavy burden, yet Canada, was, with one exception, the most prosperous country In the^ world. Referring to a statement tn regard to the British privy council, he gave it as his opinion that the greatest . safeguard'of liberty and Justice was the right of appeal to an outside, impartial tribunal. Every citizen, however humble, should have the right to take his grievances to the foot of the throne, and he hoped as long as the British throne remained, that right would be upheld.

B.^The ghost of Bill Culbert- son has quit his job- It was the habit of Bill's ghost, for at least five nights, to roost on the derrick of the Murray Brothers well at Broadview. Bill was a tool dresser on the Murray rig two months ago. He climbed up on the derrick one day, and when half way up, slipped, fell and was killed. A few nights ago the crew was sitting on the plank walk between the derrick and the engine house, enjoying the cool summer evening. They were singing songs, when one of them chanced to look up at the derrick, and there he saw the shadowy outline of Bill Culbertson, hanging on the ladder, at the place from which he fell. The four other men looked and they saw—something. Then It disappeared. The next night they sat on the plank walk, but did not sing songs. In due course of time It appeared. That happened for four nights. Then three of the crew quit. They refused to work on a rig with a ghost hanging around. The other two decided to stay and see whether the apparition would reappear a fifth time. Roy Foley told the story of the spectral visitor to Art Wls- meyer, company representative, at Billings, wlsmeyer added that a short time after drilling began on this well, one of tbe Murrays was In Minneapolis on business. He visited a famous clairvoyant and asked whether he was going to get oil. She .Informed him that a man was going to get killed on the rig. He wii+d back to the crew to be careful, but a few weeks later Fill Culbert- ,son was ItUled.... fc SUICIDES AN ARMY RIFLE Saskatchewan Lawyer Twice Overseas, Shoots Self When Questioned MORSE, Sask, Sept. 1 — F.

GENEVA, Sept. 6.—The storm over Italy's refusal to recognize the authority of the League of Nations to regulate ber dispute with Greece, gives no Indication of diminishing. On the contrary, It ahows signs of developing into a political typhoon of the first degree, Representatives of world states like Belgium, Sweden and Uruguay went on record today as Insisting upon respect for the league covenant, and as being unqualifiedly convinced that Italy should submit the controversy to the league) for settlement. Guarantees Would Go By Board The cause of world peace demanded it; the very life of the league Itself was at stake, several of the statesmen declared before the council's session. If the covenant waa defied precious guarantees for the smaller nations of the earth would cease to exist. The council again avoided taking direct league action on the Italian. attitude toward tha league, but ep- deavored to advance a compromise plan calculated to hasten solution of the Greco-Italian crisis, through the collaboration of the League of Nations and the council ot ambassadors. Spanish Proposals The plans was put forward by tha Spanish member of the council, Count Guinones de Leon. It was not adopted, but the council agreed that the minutes bf today's session should h© forwarded to the Paris body for Its) enllghtment. Signor Salandra, head of the Italian delegation, absolutely refused to accept all parts of the resolution presented, which included that Italy recognize the competence of the lcagu? to Intervene, and even questioned the right of the council of ambassodars to Settle the question of general reparation, which Italy has demanded of Greece for the murder of the Italian commissioners. Among the suggestions made by the Spanish proposal was that league representatives should assist In an official inquiry Into tbe assassination, and the permanent court of international justice should decide the indemnity Greece must pay Italy. Britain and Belgium Warn Lord Robert Cecil gave warning again that the competency of the league to Intervene was, In Great Britain's view, certain, and he indicated very strongly that "som*- thing more would 'i>e done about It.'" The clear voice of Paul Hymans, the Belgian leader, rang through the chamber with the words that the Issue involved was exceedingly grave for lhe future of tho league. He was convinced that tho covenant applied to tho Greco-Jtallan dispute, and" he added: "The pact forms a precious guarantee for the lesser statea, and application of its stipulations is essential to the maintenance of tho new order of things in the world. In which all countries hae placed supreme hope." Italy Asserts Dignity A c'ash occurred between Signer Salandra and M. Politis ln the course of the debate. Salandra had related how Italy sacrificed 600.00ft lives of her soldiers in the great war, had emphasized that the question at issue involved Italian national dignity nnd prestige, and declared that was w'ly Italy could not accept any decision by the league. He then added that M. Hymana and M. Brantin represented • countries where, happily, assassination was not reported to as a political means tq an end. This brought M. Politis to his feet in a vigorous protest. * He repudiated any accusation that Greece waa guilty of such methods. He remarket! that assassinations had occurred, in the world's mnst civilized court* trips. The council adjourned without flx> Ing a time for thf next meeting. The chairman, Viscount Iahit, said: "There remains tho question of the competency of the council and tlm league. It .is a judicial question, and, a grave one. I suggest that we go into that at a later session." Plan Will Bb Forwarded The resolution presented today will be forwarded to all the Interested governments. It is reported that Constantlne Skirmunt has telegraphed his home government recommending that Poland stand for application of tha covenant to Italy. The official attitude of France hM not yet been disclosed.

B. Robb, vice- president ln charge of colonisation, development and other departments of the Canadian National railways, in speaking on transportation at the luncheon of the Canadian National exhibition directors here today. Going After Settler* "The Canadian National railways, since the advent of the present management, have been planning an active and effective organization to deal with the Important need of Canada for greater population.- The policy of the Canadian National railways must of necessity be regulated by that of the Dominion government, and Canada's ability to absorb and assimilate newcomers. "I am firmly of the belief that it is not so much the endeavor to bring ln people to this country that Is going to solve our problem, as making the conditions in the country bo attractive that people will desire to come of their own accord. Probably one of the most potent factors will be the Introduction of necessary capital to develop our natural resources and the many Industries that can be built up on them. Build Up Industry "There are many forces at work today to bring about this result, and one of the most significant is the presence at this exhibition of a number of firms representing the great Federation of British industries, the most Important organized association of manufacturers in the world, representing more than $25,i>U0,uu0,00U of capital. "While they realize that the Dominion, as a result of the finan oial assistance, will, to the full extent of its power, endeavor to develop its own manufacturing industries, and in many cases will compete with goods of the mother country, they take the broad view that by so doing, these dominions will increase their internal prosperity and thus provide a wider market within the Empire for the goods of the mother country. Are Develeperi "The railways of this country were brought into existence lo perform the task of turning the vast waste spaces into populated areas. When these are filled," concluded Mr, Robb, "with an industrious people yielding traffic, it will be time to apply to the railway some of the tests that reasonably apply to other business from the outset.

SEESTffiFECT ADVOCATE IN FRANCrS PILOT Maitre Mancel of Paris Bar Pleads French Cause Be fore Bar Association MONTREAL, Sept. 6.—The eighth pr.nual convention of the Canadian Kar association came to a close here tcnight, with a dinner, at which the advocate-general of the court of appeals of Farls, Maitre Paul Mancel, pleaded the cause of France. Maitre Mancel paid a tribute to the memory of Sir Wilfrid Laurler, re- frrrlnff to him as the perfect and se- auetlVB French-Canadian, After his bpeech, Maitre Mancel was unnnl moufly elected honorary member of the Canadian Bar association. Poincare th* IdeaL The topic the speaker chose was "The Rar of Paris During the War, and After." He regarded M. Poincare as the perfect type, of French advocate. "Poincare Is fighting, 'pleading his case," said the speaker. He pointed out that the treaty of peace hnd assured German security for tomorrow. Great Britain had obtained the .Instruction of the German fleet with hegemony on the seas. Italy has gained territory which rightly should belong to her. France, however, was given no guarantee *f security, and so France must keep up the largest army in the world. By occupying the Ruhr, Premier Poincare took a mortgage on Germany to Insure payment. Those whose minds haVe been poisoned by German propaganda should take note of that." - Britain, France Can't Conflict. He regarded the present discord between Great Britain and France as .one o„£ procedure, pnjy,....'It is .not only In* the Interests of your two mother countries," he concluded, "but ln that of civilization, that any conflict must be avoided," CHIEF BARRIERS TO A COAL PACT OUT OF THE WAY (Continued from page one) day, full recognition of the union .by the operators, a uniform Increase of 10 per cent for all employees, and the recognition of collective bargaining ln the industry. Grant Eight-Hour Day It has Keen agreed ln establishing the eight-hour day, that men whose working hours had been reduced would be given Increases Identical to those agreed upon for maintenance men, who are being kept at work during the suspension of mining. It was further ngreed, his statement continued, that the anthracite conciliation rboard should make a Jfcuriy of wage rates, and recommend adjustments to the next conference between the union leaders and the opertors' committee. There was likewise an understanding upon how collective bargaining methods were to be applied to mining operations. "The operators authorised me to say for them that they are ln accord with the four points as thus Interpreted, and are prepared to accept them," Governor Pinchot continued. "In authorising this statement, the operators desire to have lt understood that they do so on condition that the terms as to the open and closed shop laid down ln the Roosevelt award shall run with any new contract to be based upon the four points. Miiwrg Accept Most of Point*.

Frederlckson of Vancouver will remain In NelBOn |for several dayB Installing a quartz lamp ln the offices of Drs. Borden and McKenzIe, and after installation will remain here for several days assisting the doctors In Its opera- \ ijtion. Recent scientific Investigations have revealed many new facts In regard , to the great medicinal and curative value of Actinic rays produced by quartz lamps. Several extremely Important new facts have been applied to ths curing of diseases which are not yet thoroughly understood. The apparatus produces what ia known as the Actinic, or Ultra Violet rays, which are invisible, and are an exact reproduction of natural sunlight, with the heat rays eliminated, only the medicinal ray being produced. " ' The principal and most expensive part of the quartz lamp Is the fused quartz tube, which is partly filled with mercury, and when the current Is turned on this mercury bolls and bubbles ln the tube, throwing off a brilliant light, similar to the large mercury tubes exhibited in the lobby of moving picture shows. The arc is produced by two electrical points, one being made through the mercury and the other with an anode connection. *, . " '■'• The rays are applied by means of a hooded reflector, fixed to a movable standard, and can be applied either directly or through various openings In the hood, according to the area and| portion of the body to he treated.. ' ,, Substitute^ for Sunshine ' The treatment given with the Ultra Violet ray Is the most valuable adjunct to medica.1 practice known today, but Is not a panacea for all ills, lt is totally different from the Violet ray, which is the direct application of electricity on the body. It also differs from the well-known X-ray, insofar that lt Is not used for radiography and la not destructive to the tissues, but is an exact replica of sunshine, which is nature's own cure, • The Immediate effect of these Ultra Violet rays Is the increasing of the general health and body resilience, due directly to the Increased bioud circulation, and the building up of the body tissues in cases of Infection. Treatment may be given locally or over the entire body, the latter method being employed In cases of tuberculosis, skin eruptions, rheumatism and lumbago. In the application of these Ultra Violet rays there Is an entire absence of any sensation, and like the natural sunlight. Its application will produce a natural tan on the surface of the skin. The Installation is one Qf the few In British Columbia, and the newest and latest In the matter of improvements.

That la about what auto tourists are Baying tot ' the Nelson .atoto I camp on their return home. . Neleon should make the camp so attractive that when tourists get home after a long trip they will Bay, enthusiastically: "And, say, don't forget to go to Nelaon on your tour. If a a lovely city, and the tourist camp, for comforts and conveniences, Is the best In the west" It can be done, and at very little cost compared to the sums which the automobile tourist travel ia going to leave in Nelson every summer. Something has been done, but instead of having the beat tourists camp In the west, Nelson Ia just about getting by. There should be better sanitary conveniences. Connection with the new Fairview sewer ought to be made. There should be hot water, aa well as shower batha. It wou'.d not cost a great deal to install elec- trlct hot water heaters and boilers as well as the e'ectrlcal cooking appliances 'which are now . there. Anyone who has "ever gone camping will know how much hot water would be appreciated and how much lt would be talked about by tourists after they leave here. And there should be an attendant at the camp for at least three months. He would keep everything in shape. Connection with the Fairvlew sewer and Improved Banitary convenl- ences ought to be prepared this fall. Next year's council can look after the rest of It. fficienf buseh L-murtx A.

Here the trick lies in BRITISH LABOR LEADER COMING WEST Will It Be Electrical War? Profeesor A. M. Low, the British scientist and inventor, who waa a "find** Of the Inventions board during the late war, predicts that electricity may be employed in the future to annihilate men on the battlefield as we'.l as to destroy cities. There waa general agreement with Colonel J. F. C. Fuller of the British army when he aaid, in his book, "Tbe Reformation of War," that "the side which gains supremacy in Invention and design Is the side that Is going to win the next war." The chemist haa been thought of oftenest as the man to equip soldiers with death- dealing devices. Colonel Fuller Imagined an attack on London by 600 airplanes, each carrying as many ten-pound bombs of mustard gas: London for several days will be one vast raving bedlam, the hoppita's will be stormed, traffic will cease. the homeless will shriek for help the city will be In pandemonium. What of the government at West - mlnater? It will be swept away by an avalanche of terror. Then the enemy will dictate his terms, which will be grasped at like a straw by a drowning man. If London were not prepared with a superior fleet of airplanes to ward off such an attack, the great city would have to Buccumb. This picture by the British veteran of two years ia not overdrawn. What seems like extravagance Is sober deduction from _ the known effect of the use of gas "in the .German drive of March, 1918, and from the development of war chemistry since the armistice. The author has a dim vision of the possibilities of electrical Invention. He sees assaulting airplanes falling mys- aerloualy to the ground. "The victorious aide, all unknown to the enemy, has discovered how to derange, by means of etherlc waves, the mechanism of the hostile airplanes." Already It is reported In France that German electricians have found a way to stop by radio the ■ magneto of a motor using electric ignition. "Radio control and interference," Bennett Harrison of tbe American Radio Service company has said, "will be enormous factors If ws have another war." Bearing in mind that Professor Low has the reputation of a practical scientist, an article contributed by him to the Fortnightly Review upon the use of electricity in wars of the future should not be regarded as fantastic. The advance In radio in ventlon Is the beginning of an amazing evolution. Jets of water, says Professor Low, can be charged with electricity to kill met. and horses. *T have experimented," he testifies, "with highly charged jets of slightly acidulated water, and I have given people very powerful shocks at a distance of a few feet" He declares that a device on a much larger scale would render cavalry obsolete. He predicts that tanks and airplanes will be electrically controled; that engines will be constructed to destroy aircraft by radio; JhM beat will be generated wire- • • :' i J , *^ ' flfl __M_fl '**'» W W'^ ■ .,. fill mw" ' FRANK HODGES, M.P.

Now what causes it? It Is generally agreed among hair and skin specialists that It Is a disturbance ln the circulation of the blood, and some are of the opinion that the composition of tho blood has also something to do with it. That men become bald oftener than, women ia due to the construction of the blood vessels supplying the scalp by the tight bands and un- ventilated crowns of the modern hat, This pressure prevents proper functioning of the hair cells and follicles. Similarly the tight corset causes congestion of the liver and gall stones to occur more frequently in women. About five to one, I believe, la the proportion of women to men. Now what's to be done about it? Well, the first thing is to get something that will cut the layer of dead tissue or dandruff that seems to hold the scalp bo tight that It is almost like glue. Many of the advertised shampoos or hair soaps will do this for you. Perhaps it will take three or four applications to get it all loosened away, but it simply has to be done before you begin the real treatment. And the real treatment is the moving of the scalp to stimulate circulation. A little olive oil or vaseline rubbed gently Is of help after the massage of the scalp. Don't rub the hair. Just place all your fingers on the scalp and move the scalp In every direction, but don't move your fingers. Three or four minutes daily is sufficient to stimulate circulation. Stimulated circulation means growth more often than you think. It takes weeks for the hair to come through, so don't be discouraged, It's worth the effort. Shakespeare, That was ancient literature.

Yucatan Socialists After Presidency MERIDA. Yucatan. — Yucatan Socialists are planning to place a candidate in the field at the 1924 presidential elections. Leading elements of the Socialist party of the southeast, under the leadership of the party's president, Felipe Carrlllo Puerto, governor of the state, have issued a call for a nominating convention to be held here early in September, which delegates representing socialist organizations in Yucatan, Campeche, Tabasco and Chiapas will attend. Governor Carrillo Puerto recently visited Gen. P. Ellas Calles, secretary of government ln the Obregon cabinet ond probable presidential candidate, inviting him to attend the convention. General Calles has been convalescing at Soledad de la Mota, a ranch ln Tamaulipas belonging to his son, his absence coinciding with the sessions f the pre-recognitlon conference. SLAYING MAY MEAN ROUND UP OF GANGSTERS New York Underworld Is Set Agog by Killing of Kid Dropper NEW YORK. — In the war between rival murder gangs which has terrified the lower East Side for years, with its sudden outbursts of Indiscriminate gun play, a commanding general known as Kid Dropper, was caught helplesB, without his gun and lu the custody of the police, and blown to the Bellevue morgue with a bullet through the back of his head. The dropping of the dropper was so theatrical and the effect of hia removal bo jarring to the gang morale, that the police, for the first time In years, have a chance to wring confessions from unnerved participants ln the war. Conspirators Caught. The dropper and 14 of his men were crrested as they met last Thursday in the heart of the Tenderloin to discuss some work which they were about to undertake in connection with an impending strike of musicians. They had been Buspeoted of gun work in connection with a strike of wet wash laundry workers. Alexander Schnite, killed Monday night, was a laundry worker, and he was only cne of that craft killed in the course of the Industrial conflict. All were charged with wearing pistols or with homicide in connection with various killings extending a long time back. The dropper had done ''political work" at various times and H was generally predicted that the Kid would be sprung out of jail as soon as the hearings were held. Accordingly, when arraigned on a homicide charge in the Essex Market ccurt, Monday, he was relieved of that accusation. There remained a charge of carrying a pistol. Wifs Expected Trouble. The dropper was led out of the courtroom by Detective ^senhs, closely followed by Police Captain Wtllemse. A taxi stood at the curb and as the trio stepped across the sidewalk, a woman — the dropper's wife, Marie — rushed up to him, threw her arms around his shoulder and kissed him. Willemse pushed her away, and the girl dropped back and spoke to the taxi man. • "Hop on to your seat," she ordered him, "and drive before there's trouble." She seemed to divine what was then going on in the resentful spirit of an undersized man lurking in a nearby doorway, unnoticed by all the detectives policing the district. The dropper took a seat beside the ether two in the taxi. Then, just as the taxi door slammed, the weedy little fellow scuttled out from his doorway hiding-place, skipped around to the back of the cab, stood on tiptoe, Jammed a pistol through the high rear window and fired. The third shot got the dropper. Admits Slaying. With a leap and a scream, the dropper's wife was on the diminutive Cohen, clawing his face with her fingers. Several policemen knocked him flat. "I done it?" he cried. "I done it! I give you right, officer, I done It." People who read about gunmen and tl.etr occasional reigns of terror probably think Kaplan got his nickname because he dropped so many victims. The fact Is not even as heroic as that. The police say the accent was on the word "kid" in his title, in other words that In the beginning his victims were children.

Answered by MANUEL AL0NS0 Famous Spanish player, easily the sensation of the 1923 tennis season. ■'Best European player today, possible world champion ln 1934," says Tilden. Defeated, Tilden In Illinois state championship match ln July. Bunner-up to Tilden in numerous 1923 matches, including national clay court championship. * • • . A Lawford stroke is a lifting, forehand drive, with top spin and a sudden drop. It is a very good stroke to use when your opponent is running to the net and you cannot pass him, as it is a very difficult stroke for him to volley, because of its sudden drop. It should not, however, be used very often, a a It is an exhausting stroke to deliver. The stroke, as perfected by Henry Lawford of Englaml, is not ln use in modern tennis.

STATES AIR PROGRAM COVERS TWO DECADES Great Air Station! Will Ba Built on Pacific Coast, With Atlantic Program Fallowing WASHINGTON, Sept. 5.—Analysis of the report of the Willard board, recently adopted by the navy department aa the official program for development of naval air stations, shows a determination to development of the western depots during the next ten years. It ia believed by students of strategy that there is more than chance In the fact that this period coincides with that during which no construction will be In progress on battleship replacements. Under the five power naval treaty these will begin In 1931, when three vessels will be laid down to take the place of the Florida, Utah and Wyoming. The Willard board recommended the expenditure of only $820,000 In the 1925 budget for air stations, comprising $554,000 for the canal sone and $266,000 for Hawaii, but successive annual increments In other years. Under tha approved schedule the Alameda project would be completed ln 1936, with an appropriation of $370,000 and the Washington station in the following year with a similar appropriation. The Quanta* namo fleet base air station would be started in 1938 with an allowance of $570,000, to which would tie added $595,000 in 1939 and -420.000 In 1940. when the project would be completed. The Atlantic coast bases win be allowed to wait, under the approval program, until those on the Pacific are well under way. The marine flying field at Quantico, Vt, would be the first to be taken up to any considerable extent with appropriations of $45,000 In 1929 and $310.0000 in 1930, completion of the project being carried over to 1338. Work nn the fleet base station at Hampton Roads would start In 19J2, with completion set for 1938. Projects at Pensacola, Fla., and Anacostla, D. C, are not scheduled for final commissioning before 1924. That at Chatham, Mass., would be complete In 1943, and the Cape May, N. J., Key- West, Fla., and Charleston, S. C, projects in 1044.

When you buy shares in this company you know your interests will be looked after by men in your own district, men who have made a success of their own business and are able to look after the business of this company. The company owns and has paid for a 40-acre tract in the center of the Northern Montana Oil Field. There are producing wells on all sides. Last week the company let a contract for their first well, and will know in a short time what kind of a well they have. If it js a good oil producer, shares in this company will be worth many times what they are selling for today. Remember, the investors who are willing to take some chance are always the ones who make the big money, not the ones who come along afterwards and have to pay five or ten cents a share for stock that can be bought at the commencement for one cent per share. When this well comes in, your chance may be gone. A few dollars invested now may be a big thing to you when the first well comes in. You never can tell. It may be a thousand barrels per day, which would pay you three or four times what you invest every year as ti dividend. ; Remember, the company is drilling a well now, and in a few days you may be too late. I have $1500 worth of this stock which can still be secured at the original price of lc per share, fully paid up, and non-assessable. |10 will buy 1000 sharra. $60 will buy 5000 sharea.
