THE HOME PAPER—AND WHY
FOLKS SHOULD SUPPORT 2T
A few reasons why the home folks
should support it:
1. Because when you were horn, it
was the home paper that introduced
you to the world.
2. When you- grew up and graduat-
ed the home paper gave you another
write up.
3. When later on you found your
life companion and were happily mar-
ried, the home paper gave you and
yours a nice notice.
4. When sickness and misfortune
invaded your home, teh sad news was
carried to your friends and neighbors
by the home paper.
5. When you had been suececssful
in business venture, or had been pro-
moted, it was the home paper that
heralded your ability.
» 0. If you sold out or moved to
another location the home paper fol-
lowed with news of friends and neigh-
bors, I
v 7. When some unscrupulous person
tried to injure your character it was
,the home paper that came to your aid.
8. Because the home paper boosts
•your town and its institutions, its peo-
ple, its schools, its churches and helps
to promote good fellowship in the
fcommunity.
9. Because the live merchants offer
money-saving bargains and protect you
from catch-penny mail order houses.
!(k And last, when you are finally
laid away, it is the home paper that
prints consoling news of your demise
and that extols ybur virtues so that
hearts of those who mourn are made
to feel thankful that the home paper
stuck by you from cradle to grave.
THE
KIND OF MEN THE
WORLD IS LOOKING FOR
The world today is looking for men
who are not for sale; men who are
honest, sound from the center to cir-.
eumference, true to the heart’s core;
men with consciences as steady as
the needle to the poll; men who will
stand for the right if the heavens
totter and the earth reels; men who
can tell the truth and look the world
right in the eye; men who neither
brag nor run, men who neither flag
nor flinch; men who have courage
without shouting to it; men in whom
the courage of everlasting life runs
still, deep and strong; men who know
their message and tell it; men who
know their place and fill it; men who
know their business and attend to it;
men who will not lie, shirk or dodge;
men who are not too lazy to work;
nor too proud to be poor; men Who are
willing to eat what they have earned
and wear what they have paid for;
men who are not ashamed to say “No”
with emphasis and who are not
ashamed to say, “I can’t afford it.”
Drouth Damages Truck
Alice, Tex.—The firs* home-grown
roasting ears made their appearance
on the local market this week. The
corn and vegetable crop, which gave
promise of being the largest in many
- years, has been severly damaged by
the hot dry weather and high winds
of the past month. Unless rain falls
within a week the watermelon and
other crops, except cotton, will be cut
short to' an alarming extent. Cut-
worms, which caused heavy damage to
cotton, have ceased their activities,
and that crop is thriving under con-
ditions adverse to all other
crops. Some weevil activity is re-
ported in certain localities, hut as a
general proposition they are fewer in
numbers than for several years.

Telling it to the World
Some one has caclled this the age of
advertising. If it is, we have entered
the decade of publicity of that age.
Nowadays when anyone, an organiza-
tion, a manufacturer, a church, a gov-
ernment department or a college is
about to do something, they proceed to
“tell the world” thru the printed
word. We have just passed that aris-
tocratic stage when we thought it was
strictly our own business or that of a
selected few when we organized a so-
ciety for the allevation of left-handed
bookeepers or what not. The attitude
may have been very good at one time
for certain kinds of undertakings, but
it could never apply at one time for
certain kinds of undertakings, but it
could never apply sensibly to business.
Successful selling of commodities de-
pends very largely upon being able to
tell people what you’ve got to sell.
Scientists have found what is rep-
resented to be the skull of the first
man. Things seem to be coming to a
head.

FIRST BALE OF COTTON
FROM VALLEY EXPECTED SOON
Brownsville, Texas, June 6^-The
first bale of American 1923 cotton crop
will probably be ginned in the Texas
Lower Rio Grande Valley before the
week is out. Rivalry is acute between
Brownsville, San Benito, Harlingen,.
Raymondville, Mercedes, McAllen and
Edinburg, each town claiming it will
have the honor of marketing the first
bale. Weather conditions are ideal
for cotton and a bumper crop is pre-
dicted for the Valley.

We are on our last lap downward towards the
liquid gold, that we expect to find between our
present depth and 3200 feet. How many of you
will be disappointed in not owning one of these
5-acre leases that we are going to give away?

One 5-acre Lease, 3-16 royalty, 30c
per acre rental per year, with the pur-
chase of $100 Stock, to complete Well
No. 3 to a depth of 3,625 feet.
There is only one time to buy oil leases cheaply
and that is jefore oil is found. Leases will advance
to fablous prices once a good well has come in.
Why not take this great opportunity we are offering
you before it may be everlastingly too late. Take a
small chance with us, it will not break you and we
guarantee you a Square Run for your money.
JOHN SIGMUND
President of Aransas Live Oak Ridge Oil Company
We.are not boasting or bragging but honestly believe we have great big reservoirs of oil under our lease and have located this
oil by the showings we have had.
<tj We are offering you one 5-awre iaase 3-16 royalty, 30c per acre rental per year with the purchase of $100 to complete well No.,
jjd 3 to a depth of 3625 feet.
|| ^ With the Texas Gulf Coast known to possess the greatest oil reserve in the world, it is only a question of time until this entire
section will be in the, throes of a continual boom, not the sporadical boom that always accompanies the discovery of a new gusher
■ fi g m field, but the steady1 boom that is bound to stay with a country that has the official endorsement of the United States Government
■ h g w as the greatest oil prospective territory in the country.
ad® WILL YOU PASS UP SUCH A CHANCE TO GET IN ON A WELL THAT IS SO CLOSE TO THE GOAL?
8 & “ JUST THINK WHAT YOUR CHANCES ARE TO WIN with a 10,000 ACRE LEASE, % OIL PRODUCTION to STOCKHOLDERS
^ ® Who can say that our stock won’t be worth 50 or 1,000 times its present value? The bringing in of one large well of 5,000 barrel.
W S would put our Stock beycpd any imagination ever dreamed of. The value of our large lease would in itself cause our Stock t
^ ^ <j soar many times the Par value.
5 Our Stock covers all the Leases we have sold and every well that we drill, or wells that are drilled on sub-leases. We hav
jzi H small royalties coming from all the tracts sold. What better proposition could you ask?
^ H pj We have overcome all obstacles, some that seemed very near impossible, we have stood two big storms that blew us to pieces, many
© _ fishing jobs and many financial reverses. If we were not right and not doing right we would have gone under long ago; Most
^ H 6 wild cat propositions do not finish their first well, many before they are half completed, give up. We are gomg to tmlsh this
S|. § . well and bring in the big oil pool we believe lies under our lease. WE ASK YOU TO JOIN US and JOIN US AT ONCE.
TERMS: one half cash with every purchase; one-quarter 30 days; one quarter 60 days. SEND YOUR ORDERS TO
