riCTlKK of o.k of Tim CHEAT OIL, STILLS PHOTO 91 AY 25.
The above picture was taken Just as the workmen at the refinery were unloading the second Dig still last week. This
still Is now on its brick foundation. Every day machinery Is arriving. It is Just a question of a few weeks until the Uncla
Bam refinery at Cherryvale will lie doing business. The company's first advertisements stated they would be refining oil In
120 days. Wei!, that Is Just what they will do; If anything, they will beat It possibly a week. Now we told you the truth
' ahr.ut this and you will llnd that the balance of the development will not miss the mark far from where we state in this
advertisement Now If you want stock- In the greatest money maker in the central west, one that will grow stronger year
after year; one that will be a monument to Kansas pluck and square deal in the oil fields, get busy quick and secure some of
this stock before it Is all sold, for tills Is about tho last advertisement you will ever see of stock In this companv at this price.
The company has Just what it advertises and Is prepared to show you or any one else who will come down here and give us
, the chance. Better Invest a thousand or so dollars before the stock gets up to three times the present price or to i cents
per share.
Pipe Line Will Pay for Itself In Flght
een Month.
There Is only one safe way to engage In
the oil refining business. That Is to own
and operate your own pipe lines. That Is
the reason the I'ncle Sam refinery Is
crowding tho work on the pipe line to
navigable waters, The company, as above
stated, has -he right-of-way already
secured. Fifty-five miles of the pipe is
now ordered and will be on the grounds in
thirty, days. There Is no speculation about
building this pipe line. There Is twice over
the amount of oil that can he run over the
present pipe lln.'S facilities from the Kan
sas and Indian Territory oil fields. There
Is plenty of room for two or three more
pipe lines. The Uncle Sain pipe line, figured
on a conservative basis, will pay for itself
In' the saving of freights in eighteen
months. Now, is this not conclusive proof
that when we say the stork of this com
pany Will Increase twenty-fold that we arc
making a conservative estimate? Why not
invest $2,000 for 2o,0o0 shares now before
the work develops so far ns to Increase
the real values several-fold? Don't delay,
thinking work will not walk right along,
for things are moving down this way.
Fifteen Carloads of I ncle Sum ripe
Line ow on the Road to Yntca ton.

The pipe from the east will be unloaded
at different points along the line at once.
Tho first shipment of fifteen carloads of
pipe is now on the road from Wheeling.
v. Va. It will arrive In Yates Center.
Kan., some time during the next six or
ten days. Don't wait until a regiment of
men are laying this line, and until the
t'ncle Sam company secures lfl.oiio acres
more oil lands, but secure stock now, while
It is selling a a price that Is bound to
greatly Increase In solid values and mak'
you good money. You can secure 50.000
shares for $4,0oi). If this is more than you
can bite off the company Is glad to wel
come the small stockholder as well as the
large. You can secure Sou shares for $40
or buy on Installments offered in this an

rel Profit In I.nlirlratlna; Oils,
There are very great profits i lubricat

the same without paying excessive freight.
The t'ncle Sam company proposes to be In a
position to not only secure a market, but
to reach that market without spending tho
profits In robber freight rates made by the
oppressive Standard combine. From the
river fronts the company can enter the
big manufacturing centers of the United
States. One-llfth of the population of the
union can be reached from these water
ways. From the Missouri, Mississippi,
Ohio, Tennesse and other navigable rivers
the company from the Kansas City plant
can market the oil with boats at little ex
pense. Now we have the oil to start with,
will soon have pipe line completed, where
on earth can you secure a proposition more
practical, one that shows more good horse
sense, one that offers one-tenth the gain
on the Investment? The company has one
of the beat refinery men in the t'nlted
States as Its superintendent. It will main

own sieamboats, and from 1.000 feet under
the ground take the oil through its dif

EDUCATION FDR BUSINESS
Necessity and Value of Special Training
Under Modern Conditions,
WOODRUFF EXiUINS SOME NEW POINTS
Important of the Stenographer and
Typewriter and the flood Work
that I Bring; Done by the
Dullness Colleges.
The Importance of the stenographer In
public affairs, as well as private enterprise,
Is forcing Itself more and more on the at
tention of everybody. This brings with It
the question of education for tho stenog
rapher and typewriter, and thus calls at
tention to the work that is being done by
the schools that give training to these es
sential adjuncts to mrdern commerce. It Is
Impossible In ther e days that the .beginners
at a business should wait to master Its
rudiments 1n' the old, slow way. The young
man or young. woman goln- it business
life must be equipped to take n worthy part
la the battle of trade from the very day of
entering. This is the function of the busi
ness college; it furnishes this training and
sends out its students with a working
kncwledge ot business methods and busi
ness ways, ready to be adapted to the spe
cial uses of the employer. On this topic
Hon. Timothy L. Woodruff, former lieu
tenant governor of New York and now
president of th Smith I'remler Typewriter
company, delivered a most Interesting and
Instructive address at the national conven
tion of commercial and shorthand teachers
at Chicago.
Governor Woodruff a sprrrh.
Mr. Woodruff discussed the general tuple
in detail and said:

out which all the othern would have Ix-t n

It Is my purpose to (peak of the ai
vantages of a lchnlctl commercial educa
tion from the viewpoint of a practical bul
aesa man. although I might enter Into the
discussion of the subject from the stand
point of the teacher and student, for 1 I
avauca myself ot a business education at
has i man Uuslness college of Pougnkeensle
even after I had graduated from i'ale uni
versity.
Age of Specialists.
In the medlc.il profession we have our
physicians, who devote themselves to the
study and cure or certain diseases; and
surgeons who devote their entire lives to
the performance ot specific surgical opera
tions. In the science of engineering, for
instance, we have tne civil engineer, who
ut villi's nls time to the designing, planning
and construction of roads, bridges, canals
and railways; the electrical engineer, who
devotes tils time to electrical matters, such
as electric lighting and the transmission of
power by eiectiicity ; the hydraulic engi
neer, wim devotes Ids time to toe design
ing and construction of water works and
the development of water power; the me
chanical engineer, who devotes his time to
the designing, construction und operation
of machines and tools; the mllltanry en
gineer, who devotes ins time to the de
signing mid construction ol fortifications,
military roads and lirldgcs. and the mining
engineer, who devotes his time to tho
operation of mines and the extraction of
metal from the ore.
In New Vork state the value of a special
business education has been recognized by
the nlglichl educational authorities of tiial
state ine Hoard of Kegeuta woo have In
stituted a system of registration whereby
the state certiliis to commercial college
dlplomMS. The establishment of ex.iiniuu
tlonj for o ililliuti's as certliled public ac
countants has LiiN-n tue loeans of pun-tidily
creating a new profession, and in the
same manner tin- bringing of the Institu
tions of tue training ol ch'i ks, bookkeepers,
stem gi uphers and typewritisis under sim
ilar regulations, nas created something of
a tangible character which Mill surely
prove of great value to the commercial
world. With the well-directed efforts of
tile proprietors of our buslne:is schools,
there Is reason to tx'llcve that our country's
leadership In Its education for great pro
! fi ssions will be no l ss marked In the case
of business training.
Mental Discipline.
Nor should we he unmindful of the fact
that there 13 mental discipline of a high
'''del' nd of ureal value in the learning of
bookkeeping. slenoKiaphy or typewriting,
i he young man or oung woman w ho has
diligently applied himself or l.risclf to the
in (pil'ltn n of any one of these tnree a

'ntienie of a practical business education
nuiat he of the greali st value hIso In thU

Let k st the ii iuf lieoige H. Portelvou.
for Insianc?. j. J as tho Ut-m grapjier of
one president, after being the assistant sec
retary to his successor, became his secre
tary, then member of the cabinet, and
chairman of the Republican National com
mittee, ine case of William l.oeb, Jr., the
C resent secretary to President Roosevelt,
i another Instance. Only a few yeurs ago
he wAs my stenographer when I was lieu
tenant governor, and then he is?came sten
ographer to the governor when the present
president was governor of New vorK.
There Is a never-ceasing and ever-Increasing
demand for first-class bookkeepers,
stenographers and typewrltlsts. There is
hardly a day passes that I am not asked by
some business acquaintance of mine to se
cure for him a stenographer and typewritlst
nf the highest efficiency; one who can be
gradually educated to an understanding of
all his requirements and who possesses the
ability to relieve him of some of the details
of his excessive labors. There is Indeed a
great demand for operators of nil grades
of efficiency, notwithstanding the fact that
there are In use in the schools of the I'nlted
States something over 25 0(10 typewriting
machines, upon which an army of students
Is being instructed.
An admirable feature of the institutions
In which stenography and typewriting aro
taught, lies In the fact that the curriculum
is so adjusted as to encourage thrift tx
cause the more earnestly and Industriously
a student applies himself to the tusk, the
sooner does lie finish the course, thereby
lessening the expense Incident thereto, and
hastening I lie time when he will become a
bread-winner and n wage-earner. Such an
Incentive arouses one to Industry that ho
may prove a good example to those with
whom he works and give satisfaction to
those for whom he works; to energy that
he may not let the opportunities of life pass
by him unimproved, and to perseverance
that he may not falter In his efforts even
should he fall In some of his undertakings.
Ileal Secret of Success.
But the real secret of success In commer
cial life is embodied In a willingness und
sn effort to do something more thun merely
the routine work of the position one is em
ployed to fill. Many do not even do this,
and the successful ones are not even In the
class of those who do the work assigned
them satisfactorily. It Is the man or
woman who shows a disposition to avail
himself or herself of every opportunity to
do the work that somebody above him.
perhaps the employer himself, would have
to do, who Is on the high road to success.
Those who are In this rlass do not find
themselves out of work when their em
ployer retl,s from business, for he is sure
to nave someone to whom he would grant
the favor of transferring their services.
This class consisting of (hose who are ut
the top, whose services are appreciated, and
who are considered quite Indispensable, Is
not a large one, and therefore, each mem
ber of It has an opportunity lo achieve for
tune and repntatlon.
May you all. ns teachers, philosophers
nnd guides, enjoy the satisfaction of "work
well done," as you recall to mind now and
as long ss you are engaged In teaching the
large number of proficient pupils you have
trained and the benefit you have, therefore,
Leen to the commercial world.

This Is a story taken from life and may
aptly be entltlea, "Our End of the Tele
phone Line," or "A Few Hours In the
Office of a Big Dally Newspaper."
"Hello, Is that 9S79?"
"Yes."
"Is that the Gazette's office?"
"Yes."
"The city editor's room?"
"Yes, what"
"Well er et Is the city editor in?"
"Yes, what Is it you"
"Why er ah um who is this talking,
please?"
"This is the city editor talking, what do
you want?"
"Why, I wanted to ask If you could tell
me, please I am a subscriber of the Ga
zette, have been for ten years and my
father was for twenty years before me I
wanted to ask you a question."
"Well, madam, go ahead. What Is It?"
"Another woman and I she's a neighbor
of mine, you know we've made a wager
and I thought you could settle it for us;
will you do It?"
"Well, madam, if you will be kind enough
to tell me what you are talking about I'll
know more of what you are thinking of."
"All right. Why, I want to ask if you
will kindly tell ine what year and In what
country the psjche knot first cime into
vogue;, shall 1 hold the wire or give you
my number and let you call me up?"
Never having worn many psyche knots
the city editor had nnttirally not addressed
himself to any very profound or searching
study of the subject, so he told the good
woman to "leave your numbe."
Women Not the Only Ones.
The women are not the only ones, though,
who labor under the Impression that the
first function of a busy, bieathless city or
night editor Is to answer questions, no mat
ter how great their variety or how unheard-of
their kind.
One night the night editor was burled bo
neat h a deluge of copy. Out In the state a
western bl lizard was playing hide and aeek
with houses and rattle; In New York sev
eral big buildings in the heart of the busiest
business center. were burning; the Japa had
Just given the Russians r. surprt.se party;
local news was piling up and to cap the
climax a new man had Just been' put on one
of the copy desks. It was the best the
night editor could do to keep from missing
a puff every once in a while at his faithful
old corncob.
"Hullo, dere, is dat de Gazette office? Eh?
Speak louder, youse, 1 can't henr you."
"Yes, this Is the Gazette office. What do
you want?"
"Now, say, Billy, me advice to youse Is to
cool down, see. Don't warm up any."
"Well, if you've got any business with the
Gazette please state It."
"All right, me baby. Will youse straighten
up that pretty face of yous' and Ftate to mo
who de bloke was what claimed to fire de
first shot at de civil war?"
"Now, what do you thinlt of that," ex
claims the poor night editor, as he snatches
time to glance up at the1 big clock and be
hold that he has Just eight minutes to get
the first edition on the press. ,
The editor-in-chief of the Gazette, "tho
old man," as he Is affectionately called
around the office, has a standing rule not to
talk over the telephone unless the engage
ment Is urgent and by way of parent hlsls It
may be stated that "the old man," so far as
being Informed on base ball, really would
be amazed If you wore to tell him tli'-re
wss such a thing In town as a professional
bnse ball team.
I'upa the Friendship finer.
' One night, however. Just after the
favorite pitcher of the local team had
won a game, a man speaking broken Eng
lish called for the editor-in-chief. He wa
Informed of the editor's rule about talk
ing over the 'phone, but that had no ef
fect on him except to Increase his de
termination to talk to the editor. Tho
editor w'as found to be out and this In
formation was passed over the 'phone, but
the Inquirer wouldn't have It that way
and lnslst?d that the editor wis a long
time friend of his nnd would speak with
hi--.
"Doubt Irrs so, but he's not In," was the
reply. "Won't someone rise do as well?"
Imagine the disgust that swept over the
office when the nun asked If this pitcher
was not a native of a certain country, the
one from which the inquisitive man came.
In the first place the pitcher never saw
any othr land than America and In the
next place had he been from that other
country a dozen times "the old man"
wouldn't have known It or that there was
such a person In existence.
Questions of every conceivable nature
are hurled In over the telephone and at
times when the man at the paper's end
of the line scarcely has time for good deep
breathing, but he Is expected to give some
sort of an answer and he usually does.
Bets are settled by the score, politics and
sport being the leading topics on which
wagers are made. Purine election times
it Is necessary to keep a man or two at
the 'phone constantly, with nothing efse
to do but answer calls.
One of the most unique queries on rec
ord was put by a woman one night. She
wanted to know which side of the river
General Grant died on. Not understand
ing tlie question at first, the perplexed
night editor exclaimed: "What side of
the river Is General Grant on? Well,
madam, you've got me now. I believe,
though, the general was a good man and
I hope all Is well."
It was one of those nights when the
country was In the throes of an electrical
storm and the night editor added:
"The wires are all down, though, and we
can't gel connections."
Society Kdltrena Volae.
The managing editor of the Gazette pulls
down an even i.'0. He has a voice to
match. Somehow it seems that the effect
of the telephone Is to deepen and Inrrease
the volume of a voice. It especially works
this way with the manoglng editor. So
here: v
"Hello, the Gazette?"
"Yes, this Is the Gazette office," bawled
the sonorous voice.
"Well, I want to speak to the society
editress: Is that she?" asked o piping,
squeaky voice.
Anytiody ought to have known that there
never was u society editiess, though she
may have been the most cultured product
of the deep-breathing system, with such
thunderous lung power as that.
