KAIL TRAVEL BECOMING
SAFER EACH DAY
It is said that 42 per cent of the j
clergy live to be septuagenarians.
Queen Alexandria established the
first model dairy far min England,
Five million miles of wire are used
in the New York city telephone sys-
tem.
According to tradition, Emperior
Maximus of Rome was eight feet six
inches tall.
An eeo at Shipley church, Sussex,
England, will clearly repeat twenty-
one syllables,
A parachute of enormous dimensions
has been invented, which, in case of
accident, will lower the entiiPe cabin
of a paseenger-ea tying aeroplane to
the ground in safety.
Preaching Service
Owing to the fact that the pastor
will attend the 5th Sunday Confer-
ence at Corpus Christi, there will be
no preaching service in the morning
but will have service a.t the evening
hour as usual.
The weather man is predicting some
bad weather for us during these days
but while we do not class our selves
with the weather prophet yet we
prophesy that the church will be
warm inside and that you will have
a warm roe option if you come.
A. GUYON, Pastor.
A superstition in some lands is that
on Christmas day or eve, you hang
a washcloth out on the hedge and
then groom the horses with it, they
will grow fat.
Traveling is becoming inore safe
each day, although more people are
now traveling than ever before ac-
cording to the following statistics
compiled and issued by the interstate
commerce commission.
“Thirty years ago, Mr. Average Am-'
erican, you took eight annual railway
journeys and now you take twelve.
Then you rode 24 miles each trip,
and now you go 38 miles. Notwith-
standing you ride half as many more
times now, half again farther each
trip and doubtless spend half as much
more time in railway travel, yet the
danger to your life is less than half
as great as it used to be.
“If you have ridden once in the last
33 years, your chances of being killed
were one in 91,000,000. Or, if you
have taken one trip each year during
that peried, you came as near losing
your life as one is near to 2,760,000.
One ride taken last year imposed a
hazard on your life of only one in
5,673,000 and on your twelve custom-
ary journeys, you were as far from
jeopardy as 473,000 is greater than
1.
“Altogether the railways of the
United States carried in 1920 about
1,300,000,000 passengers with one
killed for each group of 5,673,000 car-
ried ; whereas, in a total of 472,-
000,000 people carried in 1889, the
death rate was one in 1,523,000. The
danger of life of railway travelers in
1920 was therefore less than one-third
of what it was in 1889 most of the re-
duction accruing since 1907. To he
sure, there have been very bad years
and exceptionally good years, but the
general trend throughout the whole
period has been decidedly toward in-
creasing safety of the traveling pub-
lic.

Live Oat Peninsula—the Coming Oil Fields
of the Great Southwest
The Harris Tract
This well now drilling below 2000 feet
gives excellent indications to come in a big
gusher at almost any time.
I am offering a chance to secure an in-
terest in this well and nearly 6000 acres of
the best oil land of the gulf coast. Our
holdings and the drilling of this well to date
have cost us about $13,000. With another
$3,000 I believe we will be able to drill this
well to 3000 feet if it is necessary to go that
deep to get oil. That would make our entire
investment only about $16,000, which is
very little for such large holdings as we
have.
To complete this well I am going to
raise $3000, and to get this money at once
I will offer 300 Harris Tract lots as bonus.
One lot with every $10 invested. These Har-
ris Tract oil lots are 25x100 feet, close to the
well now drilling and are valued at $40 each
and has never sold for less. Every lot shares
in all the Harris Tract wells to be drilled.
These lots will easily be worth $100 to $500
each as soon as we complete our first well and
we expect to make a well in less than sixty
days.
With only $16,000 invested and about
6000 acres in our holdings (costing about
$2.67 an acre for oil land that may be worth
$1000 to $5000 an acre in less than thirty
days) we have the best oil proposition on the
market. There is nothing any where that
compares with it. I believe we will be able
to pay 100 per ‘cent dividends every week
after we complete this well.
You can invest $10, $20, $50, $100 or more
if you wish. Your investment will share in
all our holdings in addition to the bonus Har-
ris Tract Jots that you receive. This un-
doubtedly makes the most attractive invest-
ment to be found. The possibilities for large
profits are great. It’s a gamble, to be sure,
but a good one—good enough for anyone to
get a share in. The risk is too small to be
considered against the immense profits to be
made.
We WWve we are going to bring in an
oil field czi:~l to any we now have. I look for
the most sensational oil excitement here that
Texas ever had. Had you invested $100 in
Burkburnett, Ranger, Goose Creek, El Do-
rado or Mexia before the discovery well was
brought in, your little $100 would have made
you rich. I am offering you a chance just
as good as any of the above fields had to in-
vest a little money in this well that may come
in a big producer any day and make some of
the .greatest profits ever made.
