S5S BIG Money is NOT Made in Oil By buying In a developed field and waiting' for dividends, but by bringing In a NEW FIELD your $100.00 In vestment may jump in 30 days to $100000.00 but to do this YOU MUST TAKE A CHANCE. This is what I am asking: 800 others to take with mo and invest $100.00 each, and YOU ARE NOT TAKING MUCH OF A CHANCE, either, when EVERY OIL EXPERT and GEOLOGIST that has ever visited thi3 property predict that it will develop the greatest OIL FIELD THE WORLD HAS YET KNOWN. U. S. Chief Geologist DAVIS WHITE, at the convention of OIL GE OLOGISTS at DALLAS Texas, March 13, 1919 said "THAT NEW MEXICO WOULD DEVELOP ONE OF THE BIGGEST OIL FIELDS IN THE WORLD," nnd GEOLOGISTS ""no OIL EXPERT R. G. GEORGE says (in the El Paso Morning Times of March 14): "In the TULAROSA BASIN are found folds of rock indicating the ex istence of reservoirs of OIL nnd GAS and In the opinion of nil OIL GEOL OGISTS, IN THIS DISTRICT THERE EXISTS THE GREATEST OIL FIELDS ON THIS CONTINENT." This opinion is expressed by Prof. Carrera, who knows every foot of this section and Frank E. Force, an exper ienced Oil Geologist, recently from the Wyoming Oklahoma and Texas Oil Fields, say 8: "In N. M. it is my be lief the GREATEST OIL FIELDS THE WORLD HAS YET KNOWN will be found. I am of the opinion that per haps the most positive indication of oil exists in what is known as the TULAROSA BASIN, examinations made by government men and private ly employed geologists have resulted in such n general agreement as to the perfect conditions for the existence of oil, that the oil fraternity generally throughout the country arc looking to N. M. and the TULAROSA BASIN for the NEXT BIG NEW PRODUCTION," and my property is, in the WRITTEN opinion of Geologist S. H. Worrell, Dean of the Texas School of Mines, THE CREAM of this TULAROSA BASIN. Frank E. Johnson, the geologist sent out by the Boston Oil and Gas Com pany to report on the Tulnrosa Basin, New Mexico for oil has reported to his company that he found the best In dications for oil of any field he has ex amined for ten years. The Company QUAY COUNTY FARM L has wired to its representative to loam how much land it enn secure nt once nnd on wln't '.crms find price. A Pennsylvania Co. located hero years ago to drill for oil, but the money panic stopped them, nnd tho eminent geologist C. T. Serlo, who.i here in 1910, commented on the WON DERFUL POSSIBILITIES FOR OIL on this property. Many with small capital who get in on the GROUND FLOOR will make fortunes in N. M. OIL as has been done in other states. ARE YOU GO ING TO BE ONE OF THEM or will you tell hereafter that you lived dur ing the OIL DEVELOPMENT and did not get rich because YOU DID NOT HAVE THE NERVE TO TAKE A CHANCE. My company will be capitalized for $100,000.00. 1,000 each. I will get 'J00 for my entire holdings of about 'J0.000 ncrcs. I agree not to sell these U00 shnrcs until oil is struck. You will have your pro rata interest in ALL of this, and every well brought in. I will buy at PAR a substantial block of stock to show my confidence in it. It is selling fust and I believe will go to double its present value in 00 days. Buy two shares, sell one when the "al ue doubles, the remaining one will then have cost you nothing and I believu it will make you rich. Liberty Bonds will be taken at their ACTUAL VAL UE only. No stock will be issued for promotion purposes; there will be no stock salesmen. If we do not strike oil, an accounting will be made and such money remaining in the treasury will be returned to each, pro rata. My 200 shares will not participate in this refund, but only such shares as I shall have paid $100.00 each for. COULD ANYTHING BE FAIRER? The Bowmnn Bank & Trust Co., of Las Cruces, N. M., will act as trustee for all money received, and I believe every bank in El Paso and where 1 nm known in N. M. will assure their cus tomers that they believe I will honestly carry out every pledge I make. I WILL ASSURE ALL A SQUARE DEAL. THERE WILL BE NO SAI. ARIED OFFICERS until oil is struck. THIS WILL BE St'NK OK YOUR MONEY REFUNDED. NOTHING RUNS INTO MONEY AS RAPIDLY AS OIL. IT IS LIQUID GOLD. W.

Housewives of Tucumcari ATTENTION Are You Interested in GOOD BREAD and BISCUITS then use "Light's Best" Flour Definite Agricultural Problems of the County to be Talked this Year. Tho Quay County Farm Bureau was launched April I, when a group of lending farmers from every part of the county met in Tucumcari and made definite plans for organization. Thus Quay county falls into lino with a movement which has grown so rapidly that to-day over 800 county farm bu reaus arc earnestly at work in the United States. Furthermore the in terest and enthusiasm of those who helped launch the movement here, in dicate that the Quay county Farm Bu reau will be in the front rank so far as results arc concerned. Why n Farm Bureau? The success of tho farm bureau movement is due to the great prin ciple that the successful organization of agricultural interests can' only bo brot about when leading farmers nnd stockmen really work together to help themselves. These must develop a unity of mind on common problems. There mu.st be something definite to do, and the rural people must them selves organize to solve these definite problems in a business-like way. The new order means that instead of ex hortation, and appeals, all too often brot to the man in the country by im ported lenders, the farmers who will work together ieize upon the out standing problems and really work them out. In this they profit by the experience of those who have won success right here in Quay county. They develop their own leaders, lend ers who live here, know the county nnd its problems, lenders who have the confidence of our people. Lots to Be Done What are some of the outstanding range nnd fnrm problems in Quay county? Who arc the farmers of ex perience who can lead in working out these problems? Can an organization bring the peo ple of the county to work on theso prob lems thru the leadership of such men? Can we really get together and use the experience and leadership of our best stockmen nnd fanners in fighting prntrie dogs; lighting diseases of the crops and livestock; building silos nnd holding reserve stores of feed; in de veloping better methods of soil man agement? Can u farm bureau help in making farming and stock-raising more profitable ? These were the big questions asked at the meeting April 1, nnd n most decided nnd enthusiastic 'yes was the answer of the thoroly representative stockmen and farmers present. To these men the farm bureau idea meant more than a cut nnd dried organization built from the top. They readily caught the idea that after all farmers must work out their problems for themselves. They aw the farm bu reau as an organization which .nvitcs its members to do something for them selves by working together on common problems. They s-aw that a ;'arm bu reau will help by bringing ou1 leader ship, by developing ways an-i means of meeting a problem, by gettn.-,' those who really want help, to wot in nn organized way. A farm bureau is not a new remedy for all the troupes the farmer finds. It only prom s to train the farmers to work toge'.'ier and by that training assures the relief that actual co-operation may bring. It puts co-operation into actior. County-Wide Meeting Mnj .'1 The group which met to o'cimize planned to put over a coui -wide membership campaign which v .il end .May ;j, On thnt date the f .rmers who have joined will meet n u big all-day meeting to develop w . s anil means of working out the pr "nm of work selected. They will al select the men thought capable of lending the work for the year. An organism tioii committee was appointed to have charge of this campaign anil to help with the details of the work. This committee plans to reach all the farm ers of the county before April 110, by holding meetings of a few leading farmers in every community in tho county. The leaders in each commun lty who have been selected, will act as a committee to interest their neitth bors in joining the farm bureau, and will also work to bring out tho local problems of range nnd farm which may bo appropriate for Mie orgnnizn tion as u whole to work out.
