Gen You Grubstake SI or More for
Oil and Copper at Gallatin, Missouri?
Personal Statement of John Y. Everman
Since the discovery of Oil and Copper on the 15.000 acres of land we
have near Gallatin, I have been asked so many questions and have had so
many propositions put up to me that I am taking this public way of ex
plaining just how I propose to develop the land, and make money for
myself and ny associates. Also I offer a few people the opportunity to
'"rub stake" with me: and have arranged with the Farmers Exchange
Bank of Gallatin to take care of the
me can deal with the bank. Probably
also stories about Eastern Capital
acts are eood enoush to interest anyone who is willing to risk a little
money for the chance of getting big money quick; also I do not want any
-promotion" or "stock selling scheme," etc. If the plain facts are not
good enough and a straight, clean-cut, neighborly developing proposition
i ries not appeal to any man, then I advise him to buy stock from a regu-
iar promoter; as I am not and never
expect to make my everlasting fortune
that nature has put at my doors.
If anyone cares to come in with me
on an "liven Steven" break, and put
up some money against my land for
development, I will share even with
thria. interest for interest, on a basis
or ?1 up. and the bank to take care
of your money until we pay it out to
the drillers, etc. I do not know or
care anything about "marketing
stock," etc. I know if you have oil
and copper you can sell them; and
as the world wants oil and copper,
it looks good to me, to make our mon
ey by selling what we've got.
We have two wells producing
so;:-e oil, and two farmers, boring for
water in the same neighborhood,
struck oil at a depth of 160 and 240
feet, respectively. L. Y. Powell, a
farmer, was boring a well for stock
water, ai.d struck oil. which ran out
down the hill side and on into the
river, covering everything it touched.
We have 15.000 acres of land leas
ed in this -vicinity, covering these
wells, and our leases also cover land
on which we have discovered a ledge
of metal of some kind; this substance
is cbout S to 9 inches thick, and lays
CO feet underground. It lays under
a hill and this land as well as the
surrounding is rough as thunder. I

Notice the Following Standard Estimates of Oil
A 500 barrel oil well earns $272,350 per year.
Oil is one of our greatest producers of fuel resources. Fortunes are
being made today in Oil, especially open to the small investor. Here are
pome samples:
Had you invested $65 in the Coline Oil Co.,, you would have gotten
back $30,950.
$C5 invested in the Quaker Oil Co., would now be worth $13,000.
C , In April, 1916, the Quaker Oil Co. paid a cash dividend of $2,800 on
9 tach $50 share of Btock.
$65 invested in the Kern Oil Co. has paid over $16,000 in dividends.
$C5 put into the Home Oil Co., would have made you $26,000.
The Slick Oil Co. paid over 130 per cent dividends during; the past

Mr. Hild departed yesterday for
Omaha for another car which are
very difficult to get at this time but
he was fortunate in that he was able
to secure 1918 models, which has
some added improvements and diff

costing a little more money, they

our people will be most generous in
their response.
AN. UNBELIEVABLE CONDITION
From Thursday's Dally.
It has been said and justly, at
that, that "every child is entitled
to be well born." Nor is this all
every child had a heritage that no
one, it does not matter who it is has
a right to deprive them of, a fair
and a square deal, during their per
iod of helpless childhood or infancy,
and he who would steal this herit
age of a helpless child, would pluck
the stars from the crown of an
Angel. In this city where we
pride ourselves as being enlighten
ed, where we over subscribed a fund
for the Y. M. C. A. war work, there
is an aggregation of people, the
parents and offsprings, five in num
ber, we are not privileged to call
them a family. The parents, who
are guilty of bringing children into
the world, and not caring for or at
tempting to care for them are not
entitled to the appellation of Father
and Mother.
The conditions as they are were
cajled to the attention, of some of
the citizens, and with the police,
two ladies and one man, with the
police went to the house, and this is
the conditions which they found. A
four room house, in one room, no
furniture, a dirty straw tick, upon
this tick, an infant less than two
years of age, with no clothing but
a little piece of a sweater, no under
clothing, while another child prob
ably three years of age, no clothing
except a dirty piece of an apron
around its neck, allowing to fall as
low as it could, not even sufficient to
cover its nakedness. Nothing in evi
dence to eat with the exception of
a skillet partly filled with dirty
dough. The woman did not seem
to know, but that they were well
cared for, nor did she seem to care.
The man who visited the place re
ported conditions under which no
one ought to live. It looks as though
it were the duty of some one to take
those children and place them in a
decent home, for it is their heritage.
If we saw them In a burning build
ing and didn't rescue them we would
consider ourselves inhuman, but
how much worse off would they be,
even in a burning house than under
such conditions as now exist.
Certain Cure for Croup.
Mrs. Rose Middleton, of Green
ville, 111., has had experience in the
treatment of this disease. Sh says,
"When my children were small my
son had croup frequently. Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy always
broke up these attacks immediately,
and I was never without it in the
house. I have taken it myself for
coughs and colds with good results."
PIONEER FARMER AD
VISES CURING OF SOFT
CORN BY FREEZING IT
From Thursday's raily.
William Campbell of Auburn, Neb.,
who located in Nemaha county in
1867, and who is one of the most
successful corn raisers in the state.
says:
"Speaking of the soft corn situa
tion, It is very much like it was in
the fall of what is known as the
grasshopper year. All of the corn
was soft that year and I remember
that other farmers, as well as my
self, permitted our soft corn to re
main in the field until it was thor
oughly frozen. We then harvested it
and we found that it was in excellent
shape and made the best of feed.
Corn that is harvested before it is
cured in this manner will sour from
fermenting in the crib and loses its
food value. When conservation is so
essential as it is now this should
prove a valuable tip to those who
have not had the experience of the
pioneers of the grasshopper days,
and should be given the widest pub
licity. INTERESTED IN THE
PLATTE RIVER BRIDGE
From Thursday's Iaily.
Today Hon. J. Mattes and. August
Young, both prominent business man
from Nebraska City were in this city,
looking after the move to purchase
the rollock Auto and wagon bridge,
or build a new one by the state.
Thev called at this office, and had
a short talk witn tne eauor, ana
talked bridge, in which they are
intensely interested.- Their idea is
to purchase the bride here if such
can be done, if not to have an op-
propriation made at the next Bi-en-nial
for the erection of one, as this
is one of the direct routes of state
and interstate travel. The gentle
men were consulting with the com
mercial club here, and will also con
sult with the same organization at
Omaha.
PREACHES FUNERAL
OF JOHN GARBER
From Thursday's raily.
Rev. Wm. Van Beuren, the pastor
of the Methodist church at Clark
son, was a visitor in the city this
morning for some time and spent
the time as the guest of the Rev.
Truscott, and other members of the
church here. Rev. Van Beuren was
formerly located at Xehawka, and
was called to deliver the funeral
oration over the remains of John
Garber cf that place, who died a few
days since at Xehawka. Rev. Van
Beuren stopped on his way home to
visit here between trains.
74 YEARS OLD
From Thursday's Daily.
Yesterday marked the 74th birth
day anniversary of Grandpa Svoboda
and in order that he might celebrate
tne nappy event in a proper man
ner, his children and grandchildren
gathered at his home in the evening
and tendered him a most complete
birthday surprise. An elegant birth
day supper had been prepared and
at an appointed time the merry
company were invited to partake f
this birthday supper, which was
thoroughly enjoyed by Grandpa Svo
boda, his children and grandchild
ren. The centerpieces consisted of a
huge birthday cake, lighted with 74
candles, which was, also, a surprise
to Grandpa Svoboda, as they had not
kept him posted as to any of their
plans. The remainder of the even
ing was devoted to a delightful so
cial time, interspersed with selections
on a phonograph contributed by Mr.
Jiranek, which was very much en
joyed. As the hour was getting late,
the merry company was compelled to
wish Grandpa Svoboda many more
as happy birthdays as this one and
depart for their homes.
A DAUGHTER.
From Thursday's Daily.
Last evening the Stork visited the
home of Mr. and Mrs. Will Simons
in the south part of the city ' and
left in their care a fine little baby
daughter. Mother and little daugh
ter are getting along very nicely
and Mr. Simons is wearing the smile
that won't come off. Mrs. Simons is
the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. R.

ITALIANS HOLDING
ON PIAVE SECTOR
ROME REPORTS CHECK OF ATJS-
TRO-GERMAN ADVANCE AT
CRITICAL POINTS.
Berlin Announces Gains In the Hill
Region South of Fonzaso
and Feltre.
New York, Nov. 15. Indications
in today's official news from the
Italian front are that the Italian line
is still holding on the Piave and on
the critical Trentino front, while the
straightening out process is being
continued along the salient between
the Upper Piave and the Sugana val
ley on the edge df the Trentino dis
trict. Berlin's statement reports no
change along the lower Piave where
the Italian reports have shown re
peated attempts by the Austro-Ger-man
forces to pierce the river line
and compel its abandonment and
the consequent loss of Venice by the
Italians. It has been pointed out
that every day this line is held
counts heavily in Italy's favor, as
the Anglo-French contingent in
Italy soon will be on the fighting
line to .support the Italian armies.
The Rome war office statement to
day throws a still more favorable
light on the situation from the en
tente viewpoint. The frustration of
new attempts by the invaders to
cross the Piave is reported, while
the comparatively small parties
which previously had secured a foot
ing on the west side of the river
have been held fast virtually in
their tracks.
Continuation- of the German ad
vance is announced in the hill region
south of Fonzaso and Feltre, where
Rome concedes the retirement of ad
vanced posts to prepared positions. It
is in this section that the Italian line
forms an awkward salient in its east
and west extension from the Piave,
and there have been indications for
several days that the Italians were
drawing out of it.
Berlin makes no claim to further
advances in the Trentino, where the
Italians are holding the hill region
safely so far against the threat of
the drive aimed at the Venetian
plain to outflank the Piave line.
EOMB AT CHICAGO OPERA
CAUSES FRIGHT IN CROWD
Chicago. Nov. 16. A bomb made
of gaspipe and powder was picked
up on the main floor of the Audi
torium theatre where the opera, Di
norah was being sung, after an in
cipient panic which followed an un
explained burst of flame had been
stilled by Director Campanini swing
ing the orchestra into "The Star
Spangled Banner."
The firemen finally concluded that
the flames which caused the first
fright had been connected in some
way with the bomb, which also emit
ted noxious odors. It was found
near the close of the first act when
Galli-Curci was singing a Breton
folksong. Nearly one-third of the
patrons left their seats.
Gilli-Curci lead in singing the na
tional anthem, the patrons joining
in, until repose was restored.
A woman who was sitting near
where the bomb was found said she
remembered stumbling against some
object as she passed to her chair. It
is believed that the bomb contained
some mechanism that caused it to
burst into flames when moved slight
ly. No arrests have followed.

An Old Man's Stomach.
As we grow older and less active,
less and less food is required to meet
the demands of our bodies. If too
much is habitually taken, the stom
ach will rebel. WThen a man reach
es the advanced aged of 85 or 90,
you-will find that he is a light
eater. Be as careful as you will,
however, you will occasionally eat
more than you should and will feel
the need of Chamberlain's Tablets
to correct the disorder. These tab
lets do not contain pepsin, but
strengthen the stomach and enable
it to perform its functions natural
ly. They also cause a gentle move
ment of the bowels.
