the money in a leather wallet which is

Owing to the fact that we were dis-
appointed in not having the Teachers’
Institute this year no organization of
the Interscholastic League for Cooke
county was effected. Prof. H. O. Mc-
Cain was director general last year and
he asks that all teachers of the county
who are interested in a county meet for
this school year to meet at the county
superintendent's office Saturday, Feb-
ruary 22 for the purpose of taking the
necessary steps to effect an organiza-
tion and elect officers for the year.
Remember the time and place.

The De Leon Petroleum Company has flattering prospects on its holdings in
the celebrated Duke and Knowing field of Comanche county. The following ar-
ticle recently appeared in one of the Fort Worth papers concerning this territory.
It is from S. J. Hatch, an expert geologist of Kansas City: “At Ranger, north-
east part of Eastland county, the productive sand or oil horizon is found at an
average depth of 3,500 feet; to the east at De Leon, in Comanche county, it is
found at 2.600 feet, which shows a west dip, and shows conclusively that the axis *
>s most likely to be in the vicinity of De Leon.”

For a short time only we will sell this stock at
par $10.00 per share, and we expect it to be sell-
ing at 2 or 3 times the par value within 30 days.

PALO PJHTG COU/YTY
First—The geological location of the De Leon Petroleum Company
lease is on the very apex of the anticline of the famous Duke oil pool,
where expert pinion expects the largest wells to be found; only few
hundred yards southeast of heavy production and north of and adjoin-
ing one deep well drilling on southwest of De Leon Petroleum Com-
pany lease, with some twenty other wells drilling in every direction
close to De Leon Petroleum Company indicates the location as being
the best of undeveloped portion of the Duke pool.
Second—The De Leon Petroleum Company lease contains 15 acres
in this wonderful field, which is more than triple the amount of acre-
age controlled by the majority of the largest dividend-paying compan-
ies in the West Texas fields, thus controlling land for future drilling.
Third—In addition to our valuable holdings in the Duke field we have
100 acres leased in Young County wtih wells now drilling on all sides,
some of which are now in the oil sand.
Fourth—The small capitalization of the De Leon Petroleum Company
($80,000.00) should give better returns to the investor than some of the
other good companies in this wonderful field which are capitalized for
larger amounts and yet pay rich dividends.
Fifth—The De Leon Petroleum Company has an experienced practi-
cal business management to direct the development of their property to
the very best advantage.
Sixth—The De Leon Petroleum Company will be controlled by the
small investor and has no connection or combination with any dominat-
ing large oil interests, every dollar of the net returns from sale of
shares will be used for judicious and speedy development and when
production is secured, every stockholder will be notified in ample time
to attend the shareholders’ meeting in order to form a permanent or-
ganization and adopt a general policy for the future operations, thus
making every shareholder an active participant in the future progress
of the Company. , _ ‘ /
The Duke pool, which was discovered last summer, when the Duke
Well was brought in as a gusher at 2700 feet depth, is being developed
more rapidly than any of the other West Texas oil fields. Within six
months more wealth has been produced from the Duke field from the
money invested than from any other field of record.

The Star-Telegram of January 11th carried a very interesting article
on the Duke Field, which is reproduced below:
Knowles No. 1 Increases Flow to 6,000 Barrels.
Northern Comanche County came into the limelight stronger than
ever. Knowles Well No. 1 of the Penn-Tex Oil Company, was drilled
deeper and began flowing at the rate of 6,000 barrels daily.
The above statement is especially true for the small investor, as the
wonderful rich deposits of high-grade oil in the Duke pool is not con-
trolled by large oil companies; all other riel? oil fields are being either
largely developed or dominated by the big oil interests.
While this, richest of all pools in the West Texas oil fields, was dis-
covered but a few months ago, thousands of small investors laid the
foundation for fortunes by purchasing from $100 to $500 of shares at
^>ar value, as the numerous small companies were organized and their
shares offered for sale. Unlike some of the other oil pools in West
Texas this pool is only starting development, and within six months the
men and women who are far-sighted enough to take out stock in this
field will be reaping rich rewards. ACT NOW, DO NOT WAIT. BIG
MONEY, BIG WELLS, BIG DIVIDENDS.
Thousands of poor men and womqi have profited in varying amounts
from their small investments at pir value as the many companies or-
ganized and placed their shares on the market.
And thousands are being added to these shares daily through oil pro-
duced and dividends paid and enhancement of values through develop-
ment
All thi$ wealth has come to these people through confidence in the
merits of the investment and courage to invest.
If you want to get in on the ground floor of one of the best stock-
holders’ companies ever offered the public, do not delay-
