A. slight turn of the wrist, a quick pash and the practiced knight will defeat the nostee; *o deftly, so easily, that you are left wondering how he did It. Practice is the only way to learn how he did it- More your fork as little as possible; long, sweeping strokes are more llkefy to throw off your own potato than to Interfere with that of your opponent. The most dangerous strike is one from untarneatb; always ma. over to keep your potato below that of your antagonist.

And a tramp and a runaway he truly la. Like Bouncing Bet, he waa brought over from Europe by our gran fi-

The flower beads are also much larger than Black Eyed Susan, often being four or five inches across, and the ray flowers are very long and narrow and set around the disc flowers like a ragged

Mr. Hubbdl further said: “There is room on this tract for 25 wells without crowdins:. it will probably take 45 days to complete each welL In six months* time we should have four producing wells. The income from these four wells will undoubtedly pay dividends on the 500*000 shares of stock (the amount we offer for purposes of getting money to develop our 1,040 acres of California oil lands). Equal to 2% a month on the cost of stock. Stock now being sold at 20c a share ought to be worth 40c a share by the time four wells are completed.” CONSIDER WITH THE ABOVE THE FOLLOWING AS STATEMENTS WHICH WE STAND READY TO PROVE. Many fortunes have been made from this one held. Many more will be made. The oil is there waiting to be taken out, and there i« a ready market for all produced. Oil costs 4 cents a barrel to produce, and is now selling in the field for 60c to 80c a barrel, according to gravity. Surrounding one of our tracts are more than 500 paying wells. Not a single well drilled in this field has failed. Not one dry hole. Think of it I Most of them have increased in capacity since completion. Within six rods of this tract are three wells producing 300 to 600 barrel! daily. Within three-fourths of a mile is a gusher flowing 1,000 barrels daily. One company adjacent to us is paying 120 per cent, on its stock.. The Globe Oil Company, also adjoining ui, is paying 60 per cent on the market price of it* stock, and ha* only four or five wells in Operation. Neither company had, or has now, better prospects than have we with oar first well on its way to the lake of oil. The oil sands under this portion of the field have been proved to be 600 feet deep. No other company has better prospects** A FEW HUNDRED DOLLARS INVESTED WITH US MAY MAKE YOU RICH We own 1,040 acres of rich California oil lands. We offer stock solely for purposes of developing the fields. * The price is, for a few days only, offered at 2%. JcmL JlV ! The field has passed the M boom" pariod. This is not a "boom” company, but a legitimate enterprise. The officers and directors of the company are all successful business men of this city, all of whom are well known as trustworthy and responsible. WE OFFER ALSO: The purchaser of every share of stock will receive back in cash the full purchase price before any dividends are paid. No other oil company has ever made such an offer. It evidences our confidence in the project. The promoters of the company share in none of the income until all of the development stock has been refunded.
