- It is a fact, too well known to be
questioned, that every piece of mai'

owners jn every kind of circum

ty is assured. The best engineers,
UMth th hiccrrtt limitation, with
millions of dollars behind them,
may design what appears'to be a
wonderfully fine piece of machin

This is one of the reasons why
Lalley Wilson Electrical company,
distributers for Nebraska, South
Dakota and western Iowa, experi
ence no difficulty these days in sell
ing them to progressive farmers and
dealers. The farmers of this section
are discriminating, judges of quality
and they know that among the thou
sands of Lalley light plants in daily
use. many of them have beon oper
ated from four to eight years and
are giving as good, or better serv1-

Lallev light phyits used they are
installed by the hundreds in Aus
tralia, New Zealatnl, South Africa,
in every country of South America,
in Europe and even in far northern
Iceland. And they have stood the
ir,f in all these countries.
; It certainly pays, when purchas-
ing an electric light and power
.plant, to get one that has been
tried out for many years, and is
yiving satisfactory use in so many
different kinds of climates, all over
the wortd, that there can be no

Indiana Sportsmen -
.Ask BaiMndustry Quiz
Muncie, Ind., Aug. 30. After
paying the high prices charged for
live bait at Indiana lake resorts,
Muncie sportsmen are loud in their
demands that an investigation of
the bait industry be included along
with the high cost of living.
One dealer in angle worms, who,
jumped his price from 15 cents to
.35 cents a hundred and then tacked
n another 5 cents, explained the
second raise by saying he has to
pay a 5 cent war tax.
. At most of the Indiana lakes last
season fishing worms could be
bought.for 15 cents a hundred; now
they are 35 and 40 cents a hundred.
Crickets that formerly sold for 35
cents a hundred are now being doled
nut' x (h anAffemAn 1 A an(
a dozen.
The dealers say they can make so
much more money at other, work
that they have to charge the higher
prices for bait or quit the business.
One bait dealer at Webster lake
confided to friends the other day
that he had sold 20,000 worms since
the seasonopened and had cleaned
up a nice profit. It is said the wise
bait dealers dig their worms early
in the spring and place them in a
coffee grounds bed and with fre
quent watering and feeding on cof
fee grounds the worms multiply
rapidly.
But the' soortsnien assert that the
blue gills don't bite any beter on 40
eent worms than they did on the
15 cents kind.-

t Cad Fktina Bide. nth aad Hnwi Uut $1,372.88673 for road construe-
The bureau of roads has charge
of the construction of all state and
federal aid roads, the design of all
county bridges, construction of
state aid bridges and the adminis
tration of the motor vehicle tax
laws;
In co-operation with- the county
commissioners "and supervisors, we
have laid out a system of roads con
necting all the county seats in the
state, and the last t legislature des
ignated these roads as a state high
way system by statute and provided
that after January 1, 1920, three
fourths of all' the motor vehicle
taxes should be used under the di
rection of the department of public
works for the maintenance of this
system.
Much Federal Aid. "
The federal government has ap
propriated $5,800,000 ' for road con
struction in the state of. Nebraska,
and the state has appropriated $3,
750,000 to be expended -under the
direction of the. department of pub
lic works.
During the last four months, we
have awarded road contracts aggre
gating $2,5Q0,OOO and have $800,000
worth of work to let the last week
in September.
In addition-to the above men
tioned projects, we expect' to have
work started in each country of the
state by April 1, 1920.
While organizing for the con
struction of 4,500 miles of road, it
is only natural that we would have
a large number of difficult prob
lems to ''work out. The greatest
obstacle that we have had to deal
with is the shortage of contractors
and in order to carry out the work,
it has been necessary to organize
construction crews in several coun
ties as contractors were 'not avail
able. Another difficulty 'we fre
quently have is wheneverplans for
a new road are announced, it is
human nature -for those who live
along the way, either to bring pres
sure to bear to have the thorough
fare ' constructed in front of their
door, or else to force the highwa
department to make detours in order
to save cutting through a piece of
property.
Perhaps no single feature of road
work has caused the state highway
department as much 'rouble as
thosje two problems that of want
ing the highway to "pass along my
door," and that of securing ade
quate rights of way properly lo
cated. Such a policy always reacts
against the owner in the long run,
since the more direct the road and
the better located the greater the
travel will be and the less the cost
of maintenance. It follows, that in
creased property values will more
than offset concessions made to the
state.
Unfortunately, we are not all ful
ly educated to a proper understand
ing of this phase of road work and
our main roads are usually full of
kinks and offsets.
Impairs Road's Usefulness.
Not only does it impair the use
fulness of the road, but it adds con
siderably to the factor of danger,
for frequent abrupt "curves are made
necessary by these detourss-
Several bond issues have been
voted. The largest is Douglas
county where preparations have
started for Aaving 115 miles' of
roads recently ordered by the vot
ers of Douglas county. The roads
to be paved, at this jime are those
outlined ill'' the agreement of the
commissioners before the election.
Probably not more than $1,000,000
will , be raised this year, and most
of this is- to be spent on the paving
of the Lincoln Highway, the O. L. D.
and the military road out of Flor
ence. It is probable that the paving
will be of brick or concrete, and, ac
cording to standard state specifica
tions. As other counties adjacent have
promised that work done on the
main highways leading into those
oounties will be pushed immediate
ly, and since Dodge county has
promised to carry on the paving of
the Lincoln Highway from, the
border of Douglas county to a
point, seven miles west of Fremont,
the result will be a continuous paved
connected road in the eastern half
of the state within a short time.
Three Miles Paved Roads.
At the present time, Douglas
county has three miles of paved road
f":n good condition. Twenty-nine and
one-half miles will be repaved un
der, the $3,000,000-bond issue, while
82 miles are laid out to be surfaced.
Douglas county's apportionment
of state and federal aid will be used
with the $3,000,000-bond fund and all
rtf the work will be done under the
direction of the department of pub
lic works.
In opder to facilitate the work,
tne department ot public works has
divided the state in five divisions.
The first division includes the coun
ties in the southeastern ijart of the
state. The total appropriation of
this entire area amounts fo $3,346,
666.99 :
The second division includes all
the counties east of Cherry, turning
at Antelope, Madison and Platte
counties, and thence east on, the J
north side of the Platte river to the
Missouri river. M. F. Black is the
division engineer, with headquarters
at Norfolk. This 'has a total of
$2,714,524.03 to expend for road pur
poses under the five-year appor
tionment. Division three is located iriV the
southwestern portion of the state,
being bounded by Perkins, Chase
and Dundy counties on the west,
and Clay, AdamS and Nuckolls on
the east. R. O. Green, division en
gineer, maintains his office at Hast
ings. Division three has a total ap
propriation of ?1,165690Z.08.
In. State's Center.
, Division four is located in the cen
ter of the state; $2,055,227.92 is the
amount available for road construc
tion for the various counties in this
division. R. L. Cochran is division
engineer at North Platte.
Division five is located in the ex
treme western quarter of the State,
running as far east as Sheridan,
Grant Arthur and Keith counties.
JVC. McLean maintains his division'
office at bcottsbluff. I his division
tion under the five-year apportion
ment. In addition to supervising the
state and federal aid road work, the
division engineers advise with coun
ty officials on the construction of
county bridges and, county roads,
and after January 1, 1920, these en
gineers will direct the expenditure
of the three-fourths automobile tax
appropriation to the maintenance of
the state highway system.
System Much Improved.
While the civil administrative
code does not add or take away
any employe excepting some cler
ical help, the law enables 11s to
carry administration of the depart
ment to the people. Under the old
system with the board, in order to
settle any irrigation or water power
question of importance, it was nec
essary for the people to pay their
expenses and come to Lincoln for
a hearing and as two members of
the board had business over the
state, there tere times when it was
impossible to get a meeting of the
board for two months after re
quest for a hearing was filed, which
was very unsatisfactory in a dry
season when crops were burning up.
Now the chief of this buseau is
located at Bridgeport and the cen
ter of the irrigation district, and
as Jthe governor aiid secretary of
the department of public works out
line the polcy in advance, the chief
of the bureau can take care of all
difficulties the- day they arrive. The
same is true with the bureau of
roads. The division engineers are
in position to deal "directly with
the county officials and the people,
which is much mores satisfactory
than having the county officiate
come before the 1)oard here at Lin
coln and explain the difficulties to
men that are not in position to go
into their problems in the field.
In making any radical change in
the method of state administration,
there are alwavs some who voice
an objection on general principles
and some for political reasons. As
fhe civil administrative code is now
in effect, I sinceely hope that the
people. will withhold their judgment
until the administration has naa a
fair chance to demonstrate to the
people the advantages of the code.

' Great Fortunes Are Made
When Oil Is Struck
All the oil enterprises that are today pouring forth such vast
riche were at the start speculative. This is speculative. If this
were not speculative if oil were actually spouting from wells, on
this property today you wouldn't have this opportunity your
money wouldn't be needed or accepted.
It has been proven, many times, where one has lost a few
dollars in (fe of these speculations that same person invested in
another that made thousands.
Our chances for a big strike are as good as any and better
than most. We all expect to strike it rich here. While there is
every reason to believe your investmentr'will yield enormous
profits, we do not make any specific promises or guarantee to
that effect, except we do guarantee every stockholder a good
clean run for his money.
The men back of this enterprise are perfectly frank with
you not only because of .the moral consideration but because
they believe it pays. Already the wisdom of this course has been
amply demonstrated.
A Wonderful Chance Ta Win Big
or Lose Little
So far you will admit this proposition is different from
the usual stock offer. It is clean, legitimate, fair and square
where all investors are treated alike where we all win to
gether or, lose together where there is a better than usual
chance of making bigf money.
The Company's methods are open toj the closest scrutiny.
Its organization, its directors and officers may be thoroughly in
vestigated. You may have whatever information you desire be
fore you part with your $10. After remitting you will be given
ten days in which to make any inquiry you like. Then, if you are
not fully satisfied you have invested your money wisely, you can
have your money back by asking for it
The anen behind this Company have put their capital into
this enterprise. They are risking thousands--You are asked to

Make Your Money Earn Money
The man who tells you it is unwise to put
money in a savings bank to earn only 4 per cent
is dead wrong AND HE KNOWS IT TOO. It is
the safest place in the world to put your money
because you know where it is and can get it at
any time. Nevertheless a man should speculate
with some part of his savings or earnings and
he must ,do this if he wants to make greater
profits ana more money with his money.
A man with a hundred thousand to a million
dollars can afford to invest in four or five per
cent interest bearing stocks and "bonds tiwre (s
scarcely any risk in that plan, although they
may decline in market value. He is satisfied
with the income'' derived and usually doesn't
have to worry very much but he certain
didn't makfe his pile by saving smalls sums,
which only earned small rates of interest.

MAP SHOWS LOCATION OF OUR PROPERTIES .
This clear cut simple map shows the locality of the Great North Central
Texas Oil (area and the properties of the Buffalo-Texas Oil Company, a com
mon law company that does business through a Board of Trustees elected by
the shareholders. You will note by the square black blocks that we are lo
cated in known oil bearing centers It's not acres you want but "locations."
Property "A" Fisher County 817 acres northeast of Roby. Our leases
here are well within the area of new wells and a gusher here would mean thou
sands perhaps millions to our stockholders. .
Property "A" Fisher County S817 acres northeast of Roby. Our leases
-cres and two 80 acres each. Many experienced oil men and eminent geologists
believe that the oil sands are directly connected with the immense producing
nands of the wonderful Burkburnett and North West Burlrburnett Extension
pool districts, and predict that this is a continuation of one or both of these
'pools with enormous productions
Property "C" Where We Are Now Drilling 25 acres in Wichita County,
south of the town of Electra 700 feet from Good wells. The world now knows
of this county as being one of the Giant producing counties in which is sit
. uated the Burkburnett original development. Everybody interested in oil
knows this district to be a phenomenal producer. Will you be one of those
who will have a real interest in the way of money returns?
Note You probably know the close ppoximity of these properties to the
various locations where other wells are now drilling and many spouting oil
where hundreds of wells have been brought in including Gushers shooting up
thousands of barrels a day (See press reports here quoted You. probably are
hearing of these big giants that go over the derricks frequently now).
A
Our Holdings in This Rich Field Offer
Choice Locations for Many Wells.
Our leases are fully paid for and ample funds now ta, Texas banks for work
in hand and our leases offer choice locations for upwards of 60 wells. Our chances
of striking a gusher are equal to any and better than most.
The Company's land shows all the surface indications of oil that these other
fields ever had. Producing wells are being brought in nearer to our properties
every day wells are now drilling to the north, east and south of us
Many new locations are being made near our leases drilling rigs are being
rapidly moved in and constructed to begin operations at once. The activity in this
section is increasing daily and development Is being rushed on a large scale. Any
day word may reach us -of- the bringing in of these wells a iwtsher would mean
thousands or perhaps millions of dollars in increased values of our lease and the
stock of this Company. v .
These are some of the reason, without oing into geological or technical de
tails why the officers and directors of the Company have such faith in this
property.
Savings Multiply Through
Investments
Mr. Ceorge M. Reynolds, president of
Continental and Commercial Bank, Chicago,
says truly;
"Nobody can make a fortune by
saving money from a salary or
from wages. I think I have never
accomplished anything big in my
life that my friends have not urged
me to take a different course."
We get a start by saving but we
can multiply our savings only through in
vestments. Fortune knocks once at everybody's
dodr. Those who grasp the opportnuity
when it is offered, prosper. Those who
haven't the foresight and courage to act
when Fortune comes knocking, are classed
as "Failures."
