THE BEE: OMATTA, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 27, 1919. FEATHER CHAMP -V1NS IN TWO BRINGING UP FATHER Drawii for The Bee by George McMants rnoTo-n,AYs. Copyright, 191?. International Nt; Servtcft. BOULEVARD 33rd and Leavenworth BFRT LYTE1L in "UNEXPECTED PLACES" Sidney Drew Comedy STRAIGHT FALL tVV1 Southern Wrestler, Dazed by Hard Fall, Loses Hard Match; Ray and Burman Draw. The popular little featherweight champion wrestler, Vernon Breed love, won two falls over Harry '"Shoafstalllightweight champion of the south, at the Council Bluffs auditorium show last night. The first fall came after 22 minutes and 32 seconds of fast wrestling. Some of the fans had an idea that Keferce Denny Ryan was a little too hasty in tapping Breedlove - on the back for this fall as Vernon himself was flat on his stomach when the fall was declared. He had turned Shoafstall with an arm scissors and the southern wrestler lay flat on his shoulders for merely a couple of seconds, but long eiyugh for Ryan to reach over his body and tap lirocdlove on the shoulder. It was a clean fall, but not entirely satis lying to the fans. The feather champion was willing to continue from that point if Shoafstall felt dissatisfied, but the latter agreed to the referee's decision and they left the ring for a 15 minute rest. -They went right after one an other for the second fall and the lad from the south got behind right at once, lie twisted around so that he was ahead of Breedlove and tried SIR 5iMftanT fAn I I I HELLO ''(E-OH!

The fall dazed Harry and he fell an easy victim to a half nelson and Breedlove was declared the winner of the second fall in 6 minutes and 33 seconds. The show opened with a pretty exhibition of club swinging by Frank Breedlove, Vernon's brother. Five little white boys then enter tained with a battle royal, Creigh tou McGough winning. After they had picked up the coins tossed into the ring for them,, they went at it again and this time Paul Mud was the winner. The lads picked up $6.68 for their show. The first wrestling match between Tom Ray, the Omaha equilibrist wrestler, and Barney Burman of Council Bluffs was declared a draw at the end of 20 minuses. It was a pretty exhibition of wrestling with both men trying hard for a fall. Just before the final match, Claude Swindell of Lincoln chal lenged Breedlove for a match for the title and a ?200 side bet. The match was arranged and the men will meet at Council Bluffs on March 12 at 125 pounds. The house was rather a disappointment, there being only about 500 fans present. Tendler Outfights Welling. Newark, N. J., Feb. 26. Lew Tendler of Philadelphia outfought Joe Welling of Chicago in ' an eight-round bout at the First Regi ment armory here tonight, doing the better work in five rounds. The boys weighed in at ringside with the beam set at 133 pounds. Capital $100,000.00 cea $10.00 PER SHARE PAR VALUE Burkburnett, Texas This company has closed a contract with the well-known McMahon Construction Company of Tulsa, Okl., to build a refinery at Burk burnett, the world's wonder oil town, and have the refinery completed and ready for operation by April 10, 1919. To aid in jneeting their financial commitments there have been placed in our hands in trust 5,000 shares of this stock to be sold at the par value of .10.00 per share. f Most Companies build after having sold their stock. The Inter-Ocean trustees are building first and then selling stock. This assures the stock buyer an early re turn' on his money. The Company is now building a unit capable of 700 to 1,000 bar rels per day with a supply of crude oil arranged for of several times the present capacity of the plant. It is not the intention of the Com pany to drill wells, but to follow the conservative business policy of 'preparing the oil produced by others into a commercial! commodity. There is no element of risk and the profits are enormous. ' It was through refining and not producing oil that the great Stan dard Oil fortunes have been made. A featured article in the last issue of The Magazine of Wall Street says it has been the policy of the Stan dard to let "the other fellow" take the risk, and though since 1911 the Company has been extending its producing activities, that even now their wells only produce 16.68 of their crude oil requirements. A properly managed oil refinery is a safe, non-speculative enter prise. It is known "what crude oil costs, it is known what it costs to refine it an,d it is known what it will bring on the market, hence it is merely a mathematical computation to determine earnings.- A -net profit of $1.00 per barrel is the most conservative estimate of any re finery authorities. This would mean a profit of $20,000.00 per month on the contemplated capacity of the plant, or an earning of 20 per Month on the capital. To those unfamiliar with refinery profits such returns may seem impossible, but they are substantiated by published data of what other refineries have accomplished. The Iowa Park Refinery, in the field contiguous to Burkburnett, pays for itself every thirty to sixty days. Ponca City Refinery, Ponca City, Okl., paid 710 profits the first year and sold out for $2,900.00 for every $100.00 invested, , Lawtcm Refining: Company, Lawton, Okl., earns the amount ot its capitalization, or 100 per month. The Peerless Refining Company of Cushing in less than three months paid back to its owners the cost of the plant. The Wichita Refining Company in 1915 paid 90 ; in 1916, 100 , and at the close of 1916 an original $100.00 share Sold for $8,000.00. The Lone Star Refinery at Wichita Falls is reported to have last year earned 1,400 on its initial capital. . . ' . The Magazine of Wall Street says: "Make your dollars earn more than savings bank interest. Great fortunes are built on the earning power of money but not on savings bank interest. These fortunes are built by seizing opportunity by the forelock." Mail or wire your orders for the present allotment while selling at par of $10.00 per share. ion . Trust Co.

After getting away to a bad start, the Camp Grant quintet made a wonderful comeback, trimming the Illinois A. C. five, and the pride of Chicago basket ball followers, the White Owls. Coach Tommy Mills announces that he has secured the Camp Grant team for two games 011 the Creighton floor on March 7 and 8.

The Horrible -. : - Handicap of Catarrh You Must Drive It Out of the Blood to Get Rid of It Permanently. i Adam never had a handkerchief is another way of saying that Ca tarrh is an ailment that we owe to civilization and the effects of mod ern life. Catarrh is not a disease like pneumonia or typhoid fever. Catarrh is caused by impure blood, laden with irritating and poisonous matter acting upon cells lining the nasal passages and throat, that have already been inflamed, irritated and caused to overwork, by exposure to dust, dirt, sudden changes of tem perature, abnormal dryness of the air, and germs. Catarrh cannot be cured by spraying or douching the nose and throat. The unhealthy con dition of the blood must be over come, purified and restored to a healthy condition. You must realize that the disease itself, and not its symptoms, is what you have to cure. Of course, you know that when you are cured of any disease its symptoms will dis appear. Catarrh manifests itself by in flammation of the delicate mem branes of the nose and air passages which choke up and make breathing very difficult. To get rid of these distressing effects you must remove their cause.. The blood is laden with the Ca tarrh germs, which direct their at tack against the tender and delicate membranes of the nose and throat. These germs cannot be reached by sprays or douches, which, of course, have no effect whatever upon the blood. S. S. S. is a purely vegetable blood remedy, made from roots and herbs direct from the" forest, which combat promptly any disease germs or impurities in the blood. Once you get your blood free from impurities cleansed of the catarrhal poisons which it is now a .prey to because of its unhealthy state then you will be relieved of Catarrh the dripping in the throat, hawking and spitting, raw sores in the nostrils, and the disagreeable bad breath. It was caused, in the first place, because your impov. eished blood was easily infected. Possibly a slight cold or contact with someone who had a cold. But thp point is don't suffer with Catarrh it is not necessary. The remedy S. S. S., discovered over sixty years ago, tested, true and tried, i3 ob tainable at any drug store. It has proven its value in thousands of cases. It will do so in your case. Get S. S. S. at once and begin treat ment. If yours is a long standing case, be sure to write for free expert medical advice. We will tell you how this purely vegetable blood tonic cleanses the impurities from the blood by literally washing it clean. We will prove to you that thousands of sufferers from Ca tarrh, after consistent treatment with S. S. S., have been freed from the trouble and all its disagreeable features and restored to perfect health and vigor Don't delay the treatment.
