day pnnts a letter from Prof.
George D. Herron, declaring grave
injustice is being done to Italy
and that the people of the various

conference," and on whom "will
fall the responsibility for the ruin
threatening the world."
This group. Professor Herron
declares, seeks concessions for the

title holder in what was to have
been a finish match. The 125 pound
king pinned the southerner ia the
first fall, going almost an hour. He
secured an arm scissors 011 ii's oppo

almost pinned, but not quite all the

It i$ likely that Shoafstall -k,;ould
have been pinned within another
few seconds, for Vernon was slowly
pressing him to the mat, but Ryan's
speed in making his verdict gave the
lightweight a chance for a howl and
he made it plenty strong, demanding
a return bout It was granted him
and Al fiori, the Council Bluffs pro
moter, agreed to stage the second
bout. They will meet in a finish
match Tuesday night and since
Shoafstall insists upon another ref
eree than Ryan, the third man will
be chosen at the ringside, or they
will wrestle without a referee, as
this is Breedlove's proposition. He
is willing to let the men call their

the bout. so that it ctmld be adver

There will probably be several com

have no difficulty in selecting a fair

" The popular Omaha welterweight
wrestler, Young Gotch, wrestled a

show' and it was announced that
Denny Moore of Omaha would

Since there was no winner Fiori de
cided to put Moore against Gotch in
the semi-windup. .They are old en

been victorious in their last set-to,
and Gotch is anxious to retrieve
himself and pin Denny this time.
They will go to a finish, best two

nent equipments 2 to 7, standard and
secondary rails 2 to 8, and motors and
their accessories 1 to 3.
Metals, especially coppers, also -ecord
ed substantial gains and shippings de
rived their chief strength from Atlantic
Gulf, which held virtually all its i'A
point advance to the new maximum ot
1544.
Food, chemical and fertilizer shares
trailed along in moderate fashion, but
oils denoted profit taking, particularly
Royal Dutch. Mexican Petroleum and
Texas company, Sinclair and Pan-Amer
ican holding relatively firm.
United States Steel retained only half
its 1 one-point gain and united states
Rubber, yesterday's sensationally strong
issue, reacted almost two points.
Denver and Rio Grande common and
preferred, the latter at a gain cf two
points, featured the minor rails, Texas
and Pacific. Missouri Pacific and St
Louis and San ' Francisco forfeiting part
of their recent advances.
An actual ' loan . expansion of about
$117,500,000 was attributed to the week's
heavy trading ana victory loan sub
serlpttons, excess reserves showing only 1
nominal decrease. ' -
The several divisions of the bond mar
ket, including Liberty and foreign Issues,
were firm. Totsl sales, par value, ag
gregated $6,350,000. Old United States

Chicago Grain and Proilslons.
Chicago, May 3. Prospects of delayed
planting as a result of too much rain led
to fresh advances today In 'ho corn mar
ket. Closing quotations were strong, 2c
to 8e net higher, with Ju'y $1.68 to
$1.68, and September. $1.64 to $1.64.
Oats gained to 1 cent, a.id provisions
6 to 25 cents.
. Buyers were In a majority throughout
the day in the corn pit, and there was a
notable lack of offerings at times, eapec
laly when the principal shorts tried to
cover. .Widespread wet weather and the
forecasts that field and atmospheric con
ditions would continue adverse for at
least several days ' appeared to indicate
that lastness of the planting season might
become an Important factor In determin
ing the ultimata yield. In this connec
tion, bulls made much of reports that the
rainfall was excessive In largo areas from
central Kansas to northern Illinois. On
the other hand, eastern shipping call
nearly vanished owing to the new upturn
In prices. Besides, week-end adjustment
of trades operated somewhat as s check
on the bulge.
Oats responded to the advance of corn
Crop reports, too, regarding oats were
against the bears.
The rise In provisions was ascribed to
strength of grain and hogs. Sales to
realise profits did not altogether counter
balance the effect.

A Little Knowledge Might Make You Wiser, Wealthier, and Al
together Much Happier; Ponder and Consider Carefully.
1 YOU certainly can trust your own judgment. Anyone can see through
a Stone Wall if there is a hole in the wall. The wall we have built con
tains a big hole, and by looking through it your line of vision will extend over
a scope of country, rich in OIL and MINERAL. : ;

First Gusher at Damon Mound.
The Texas Development Co.
I Located in BRAZORIA COUNTY, TEXAS, are organizing forN the de
velopment of 640 acres, divided into quarter, half or acre lots. To those,
who realize what a real opportunity means, and are not too weak hearted
to grasp the situation before the next advance takes place, the chance of,
perhaps, a lifetime is before you. . j '
Our Holdings .
We are three miles from DAMON' MOUND, and four miles from the
Famous WEST COLUMBIA fields. WEST COLUMBIA and DAMON
MOUND Districts va at present writing leading all other fields in the
GULF COAST territory. ...
The daily production for the week ending April 12th. was approxi
mately 39,095 bbls., at WEST COLUMBIA, DAMON MOUND came in for
the same period with approximately 12.500 bbls.. making a combined show--ing.
within only a few miles of our holdings of about 273.665 bbls. for the
week. DON'T THAT LOOK LIKE WE WERE IN A PRETTY GREASY
NEIGHBORHOOD. ' -
An anticline ridge extends across our entire section, whic means, in
the judgment of experts, a strong indication of a prolific OIL production
only awaiting development. ' ,
We Are in No Wise a Stock Co.
. ... , ' . i
There are no CHAIR WARMING lines of officers to absorb the prof it3'
that may be produced from money you may invest. You own the lots or
acres you buy and we back up ownership with a,Warrantee Deed as well
as a profit-sharing contract. By your contract you are entitled to 50 of
the net profits accruing from the prbduction of the entire 640 acres owned
by the TEXAS DEVELOPMENT CO., on all OIL OR MINERALS. That is,
your share of the profits to be in proportion that the lot or lots purchased
by you are to the total number of lots. in this subdivision. "
Kindly read the following from the OIL WEEKLY, under date of January 11th, 1919,
We arc right in this field. ' -
The Oil Weakly, January 11, 1919.
To Derelop Sulphur Deposits.
Following the filing of a charter by the Universal Sulphur '
Products Co., at Austin this week, with a capital stock of $12,000,
000, it was announced at the Houston headquarters that imme
diate steps would be taken to develop the extensive sulphur de- .
posits at Damon Mound in Brazoria county. The stockholders
named in the corporation papers include E. F. Simms, H. T, v
Staiti, John Hamman, W. S. Hardcastle and F. L. Phair.
The company announces that the organization has been per
fected in conjunction with strong Pittsburgh and New York bank- ,
ing and mining interests with the purpose in view of developing .
and operating sulphur deposits in South Texas. The first real
development will be at Damon Mound, where the company owns
7;000 acres of land rich in sulphur. It is understood the com
pany had interests at Big Hill in Jefferson county and at other
points in South Texas. .
We have only to represent the facts to you, and tlheyJare cold, hard
and indisputable of the real conditions. Aside from our Oil prospects, the
above clipping will give you some idea of our expectations in the mineral
production from our. holdings. , , . i - '
v For a quick disposal, to those who wish' to join us'in this development,
we have 'divided tracta into Quarters, Halves and Acres. . .
Quarter Acres, $65.00. Halves, $125.00. Acres, $250.00. The small
investor's rights is as securely protected, as far as his holdings go, as the
. ones who are able to invest thousands in the enterprise.
It should not be a question' with you of how much you want, but how
much you are able to carry. '. 1 .
