He always formed the loud that held the jarring elements together. Every one instinctively i trusted him. It is no discredit to others to say that no one else could have rendered the service in critical times that Mr. Harry gave. "Professor Barry's personality was a constant delight to his friends, lie was intensely human, with the keen est appreciation of a humorous situa tion. Modest and unassuming almost to the point of self-effacement, he . was nevertheless a virile and rugged character. His loss will be felt not because he was all ideal teacher, but ! because he was in the truest sense a 'friend to man.'

"The Near East Relief has during the >ast four or five years commission ed and sent to the Near Bast more than 1,000 American relief workers, of whom 500 are still In the tiold, all of them working at great financial sacri fice—the standard of salary being $50 per month and maintenanceand many of them facing great personal danger and hardship In the perform ance of their life-saving service. A score of them have died from typhus or other diseases more or less related to their faithfulness In the perform ance of relief service. "Nor Is that all.

It combines safety with a reasonable cer tainty of large returns. All red-blooded Americans are interested in making money; and are more interested in making money by oil development than any other natioality. We assert it to be a fact that no field of endeavor affords the American investor such spectacular possibilities as oil. Up to this time three distinctly different forms of investment in oil are offered— Leases. Royalties and Stocks. It has remained for this company to invent another and vastly more safe form of investment. Th is a form that is both safe and sane from every conservative angle. Our redeemable Treasury Certificates are this new form of investment securities. The pur chaser of this certificate is protected for one year. The certificate la redeemable in land on or before one year from its date. No de velopment company has ever offered such an opportunity and se cured it against loss by offering to give up a warranty deed to oil land In event that the investor should prefer it. At the end of a year's time the option is offered to secure our non-assessable stock or the land. There will be so many winners in Montana that it will be hard for an investor to go wrong. But pick out the one that will win big—after all, it's the big money that you want, that is why you invest in oil. Investigate the offerings, holdings and pro gram of our company. We own 5.320 acres in the Porcupine Dome, 1,120 in the Baker Field of Montana and 13 acres in Texas and hold leases on some valuable oil land in Montana, Washington and Oklahoma and this company has for its directors two good oil men and the others are first class business men of your home State and I would like to have you call at our office and learn more of us as I have some of the latest maps and photos of the fields and wells and would like to show what this company has to offer you.
