VOL. III. No. 13 (Special to the Tribune) ROUSE, Colo., June 23.—The District Conference of the A. M. E. church, which has just closed its session in this city, was the greatest in the history of the district under the able leadership of Presiding Elder Rev. J. H. Allen. Rev. T. B. J. Barclay preached an able sermon to the large audience on the first night of the conference and wonderfully impressed the people. Rev. Herron of La Junta carried us to the mountain tops in his sermon on the second night of the conference. All the papers read at the conference were full of good thoughts and showed that great pains had been taken in preparing them. Rev. W. T. Thornton, pastor in charge, entertained the delegates in a manner that was pleasing. It was a capital idea of the presiding elder to carry the district conference to the rural district, as it was the means of inspiring the people to greater work for the church. Our rural churches will be revived and our Sunday schools will grow if more of our district conferences are held among them. Rev. B. Johnson was elected secretary of the district conference. GLOBE--MIAMI (By Mrs. Wm. Young) A musicale and recital was given last Tuesday evening at the A. M. E. church for the benefit of the piano fund. A fair audience greeted the performers and the entertainment was quite a success. Members of the Sunday school regret the loss of their teacher, Miss Elizabeth Fraser, who has proven herself a worthy worker in this community. We are losing a jewel and trust she will meet with success wherever she decides to locate. Mrs. E. Brassfield will leave soon for Jerome, Ariz., to join her husband. Mrs. Willie Johnson and daughter will depart soon. Mr. James Lott will leave soon for California. Mrs. E. M. Fraser and daughter, Miss Elizabeth Fraser, and Mrs. E. Alexander and daughter, Miss Olivia, will leave Thursday morning for the coast. They will go first to Phoenix over the Apache Trail, where they will remain a few days. They will then leave for Albuquerque, N. M., where Mrs. Alexander and daughter will visit friends and Mrs. Fraser and daughter will proceed to Los Angeles, Cal. Mrs. Alexander is our teacher in the public school and many improvements have been made during her stay in this city. The school board has promised a new building for next year, also a Victrola. Sewing will be taught next year also. Mrs. Alexander has endeared herself to the hearts of the people in this community and we all love and respect her. Mrs. Arthur Taylor's brother is here visiting her; also Mrs. Williams' brother of San Diego is visiting his sister in this city. There will be an age anniversary at the residence of Mrs. Rachael Harrison Tuesday evening for the benefit of the trustee board. Mrs. Charlotte Young was elected president of the Home Mission society, and Mrs. Warren T. Jackson, secretary. Mrs. Rachael Harrison will be initiated into the Eastern Star chapter next week. Mrs. Mary Mitchell is the worthy matron. FLAGSTAFF (By Reginald Jackson) Miss Helen Vance left Monday for her home in Prescott. Mrs. Tyler, Mrs. P. T. Taylor, Miss M.

PROMISES SQUARE DEAL TO COLORED LABORERS A. F. OF L. PROMISES SQUARE DEAL TO COLORED LABORERS It was very gratifying to those of our race who are interested in the labor problem to note in the press dispatches last week the attitude of the American Federation of Labor toward the Negro. For a long time it was questionable in the minds of many Negro labor organizations whether it was profitable to align themselves with the Federation or not. 'But within the past few years the shifting of the Negro population to large industrial centers, and the consequent decrease of foreign labor, due to the war, there has been manifested upon the part of the Federation a desire to unionize all Negro labor. That much good can come from affiliation in certain industries and in certain places is a foregone conclusion, but from what I can learn from some labor leaders of our people, it is not desirable as a national proposition. "In union there is strength." Every way we turn we find men tending themselves together to conter and unite upon some definite line of action to better their general as well as individual ends. The more complex civilization becomes, the more necessary it is for men to work together; in fact, as our civilization now exists, it is impossible to work alone, as there is always an interdependence of one group of workers upon another. If the miners quit work, the factor;es trains and steamboats at once are put out of business, and a whole line of interdependent industries must cease operation. It is felt even in our homes where coal is needed for heat, light and cooking. These are some of the main advantages for which unionism of labor contends. To a great extent to regulate unrestricted competition and direct it into advantageous channels; to regulate wages according to the pay that the average man in the trade might demand; to take labor from the list of perishable articles that must be sold on the spot, and immediately, or not all, and give to the workman a reserve power, and to his labor a reserve price; to prevent unfair competition between labor, or prevent underbidding among workmen; in fact, to substitute collective bargaining for individual bargaining. Now all of these aims are worthy ones and would be beneficial to Negro labor if given a square deal. In order to see how powerful this organization is, may I quote a few of the many acts of legislation in which it is interested? Child labor, convict labor, co-operative societies, organized under a no-profit system; to be exempted from taxation, education of adult illiterates, government employees, proposed lengthening of work day defeated, and bonus granted; housing systems, proposal for homestead allotments for soldiers and sailors, meat packing monopoly. You can judge from the list what a wide field of interest the American Federation of Labor covers. Therefore its efforts for the betterment of the working class should not be condemned in a wholesale manner; for whatever is done to improve the economic and social conditions of the working class helps the whole country at large. The influence of this organization is felt in every phase of our everyday life. The recent strikes, and their consequent sufferings, can be traced to the door of this great giant. The question uppermost in the minds of the capitalist, of the jurist, of the statesman, is, "What must be done to check its influence?" On account of lack of production, shorter hours, and increased wages, many attribute the now prevailing high cost of living. This may not be wholly true; but there is some truth in it. That we cannot unqualifiedly support all of its methods is a fact, but let us hope, and work for, regulative enactments that will remedy the now existing evils. We welcome its more generous attitude toward Negro labor. F. D. WHEELOCK. INDICT ALLEGED LYNCHERS ON A MURDER CHARGE DULUTH, Minn., June 23.—Indictments charging murder were returned late today against three men for alleged participation in the lynching of three Negroes here June 15. The trio, Leonard Hedman, John Burr and Nate Natelson, are being held at the county jail without bail. FLURIBUS UNUM HON. WILLIAM P. CRUMP Principal speaker at Emancipation celebration. (By Mrs. Dora Rose) Mrs. Lottie Greenwood left Thursday for Dayton, Ohio, to visit her brother. Miss Helen Vance returned Monday from Flagstaff. Mrs. Henry Willams has purchased a home on North McCormick street and will take possession about the 20th of July. Mrs. W. T. Bell and children will leave for Newton, Kan., next week. Mrs. Jacob Tull will leave next week for Erie, Pa., to visit friends and relatives. Mrs. Lillie Burch has been on the sick list but is improved. Mrs. Johnson of Oakland, Cal., is among the new arrivals in Prescott. She is here for her health and is staying with Mrs. W. D. Alexander. Dr. and Madam Hilbert motored to Dewey, Cottonwood, Clarkdale and Jerome Sunday and had dinner with Mrs. Ramsey of Jerome. Mrs. Rose accompanied them on the trip. They had a very pleasant time. Dr. Hilbert's son also accompanied them. DOUGLAS (By Mrs. L. A. Kinchloe) Sunday services were well attended at all the churches on last Sunday. The pastors filled their stations and delivered able sermons to their congregations. Mrs. Pauline Keeland left on the 19th for a visit with friends and relatives in Houston, Texas. Rev. and Mrs. Edward Jones left this week for Tucson. Mr. and Mrs. Jack Hays and son and Mrs. January and daughter spent the 19th in Fort Huachuca, Ariz. The home of Mrs. Lawrence Hep was the scene of a delightful barbecue and picnic on the 19th. Everything good and appetizing was served and all report an enjoyable time. Mrs. Lillian Garrison entertained a few friends on the 21st in honor of her birthday. Cake, ice cream and other refreshments were served. The concert given on the 17th, entitled "The Unhappy Home," was a complete success. Proceeds were for the benefit of Mt. Olive church. Too much credit cannot be given Miss McGowan for the way she trained the little ones for their parts. Let us always praise our young people for the little things they do and it will encourage them to do greater things for the advancement of the race. The union prayer meeting has been revived and will be conducted at the A. M. E. church. 833 Sixteenth street. Everybody invited. Prayer is the key that unlocks heaven's door. * MESA * (By Alphonso Robinson) Mr. Pheltor Davis is on the sick list this week. Mr. Will Brown has been on the sick list the past week but is improving. Mrs. M. Turner was a business visitor in Mesa last week. Mr. and Mrs. Sam Wilson and son were the guests of Mr. Winsor last week. TRIBUNE BIG CELEBRATION AT EAST LAKE PARK WAS GRAND AFFAIR Saturday, June 19, 1920, will go down in history as the greatest of all days in the lives of the colored people of Maricopa county. The Phoenix Protective League, through the manner in which its members handled the Emancipation celebration Saturday at East Lake Park, has placed itself on record as the most powerful, most influential organization among our people in the state of Arizona. Fully two thousand people attended this great celebration, and the perfect manner in which this crowd was handled reflected credit not alone upon the management but the race as well. Early Saturday morning people began to arrive at the park and by 12 o'clock great throngs had gathered. Mr. Steve Howard, who had charge of the barbecue, and, together with his assistant, Mr. Richard Rosser, had spent Friday night watching the barbecue pit, announced that the big steer was done to a turn. Mr. G. T. Tinsley, with assistants, rolled the lemonade barrel into position and filled it with this satisfying drink. Another barrel was filled with ice water, and then service began. All were given a liberal portion of barbecue, with trimmings, and permitted to drink their fill of ice water and lemonade. Next came the ice cream which was served in abundance to all. The lemonade barrel had to be re-filled time after time as it was 110 in the shade and but little shade to be found. By 2:30 dinner was over and the ball game was called. The Red Sox and Phoenix Cubs crossed bats and for a while things looked real interesting. Then, to our surprise, the Cubs complained of the heat and let the Red Sox walk away with the game. After the game, lemonade was in order and a few condescended to take a sip of ice water. It was now 4 o'clock and the speaking program was next in order. Rev. T. J. Sanford, master of ceremonies, after a few preliminary remarks, introduced Rev. S. E. Newell of Prescott, who spoke at length on the significance of the day and he received rounds of applause. Rev. Newell struck a responsive chord and held his audience at rapt attention through out his discourse. The next speaker was Prof. P. Landry, who in a plain straightforward way drove home some fundamental truths that caused serious thought on the part of many. The professor said that he believed the time had come when we as a race should launch out in commercial lines. His was a heart-to-heart talk and an appeal to common sense and reason. Rev. Sanford then introduced the principal speaker of the day, Mr. William P. Crump, who addressed us on the subject of "The Negro and His Views of the League of Nations." Mr. Crump is an orator of national fame, possessing a broad and comprehensive knowledge of all political issues as well as being thoroughly conversant with all live topics of the day. He handled his subject in a masterly way and was repeatedly interrupted with applause. Next came the second course of the feast, which consisted of watermelons and ice cream. All were served a liberal portion and told to come again next year when the Protective League will hold forth. That the colored people of this community know how to celebrate cannot be gainsaid, for it was the consensus of opinion that this Emancipation celebration was as creditable as any held anywhere. A. R. Smith was general manager of the affair and together with his assistants, J. A. Green, J. L. Davis, G. H. Haywood, I. F. Silvers and others, succeeded in staging the grandest Emancipation celebration ever witnessed in Arizona. The next big event for the Protective League will be held during August or September, when Dean Kelly Miller of Howard University, Washington, D. C., will lecture in Phoenix under the auspices of the league. Watch these columns for further announcement. What a beautiful "white lily" is the Chicago Tribune! Hereafter the Tribune's candidates for office should be objects of our deepest consideration. At least, we shall be spared, in the coming campaign, those stories telling how the other side is financed by the breweries and backed by the saloon vote. POPE BENEDICT CONFERS HONORS ON COLORED MEN POPE BENEDICT CONFERS HONORS ON COLORED MEN On June 7th last the beattification of twenty-two Negro Africans who died for the Catholic faith in Uganda under King Uwanga, took place at Rome in the Basilica of St. Peter's cathedral with great pomp and ceremony. A large number of native African Catholics were present and took part in the gorgeous spectacle. The Pope was borne in on the seda gestatoria preceded by numerous bishops and priests from Africa and other parts of the world and followed by a great procession of ecclesiastics of Rome. It is not commonly know that America has two Negro saints on the calendar of the Catholic church, St. Rose of Lima, to whom a litany is said on her day all over the world in every church, and Blessed Martin of Porres. These are the only Americans any Pope has canonized. TUCSON (By Mrs. Wm. Blakeley) Friends are congratulating Mr. and Mrs. Robert Charles of East Eighth street upon the birth of a little daughter, who arrived Wednesday morning, June 9. Mrs. Harry Nelson left Tucson to attend the summer Normal at Flagstaff. Mrs. Julia Williams left Tucson on Friday of last week to visit relatives in Louisiana; en route she will visit in Houston, Texas, also. Mrs. Gladys Fennell and two small sons left for her former home in San Antonio, Texas, last Sunday. Mrs. Thelma Long and small son left last week for Los Angeles, Cal., on their vacation. While there she will be the house guest of her uncle and aunt, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Marshall. Mrs. L. L. Rivers left this week for a visit with her mother in San Angelo, Texas. On Sunday morning Rev. S. E. Newell of Prescott, accompanied by his wife, Mrs. Newell, arrived in Tucson, Rev. Newell having come to preach the annual thanksgiving sermon of the Masons. They will spend several days visiting with friends who live out on ranches. West Temple Lodge, No. 425, F. and A. M., held their annual thanksgiving sermon in observation of St. John's day at the A. M. E. church. Rev. Newell delivered a splendid sermon to a large and appreciative audience. Excellent music was rendered by the choir for the service. The collection for the afternoon was $33. Rev. and Mrs. Edw. Jones, pastor of the Baptist church at Douglas, are business visitors in the city for a few days. Mrs. Lura Alexander and daughter, Mabel Alexander, returned last week from an extended visit to El Paso, Texas, and Douglas, Arizona. Mrs. Isaac Cheaves, formerly of Tucson, with her small son, is visiting relatives in Tucson en route to San Diego, Cal., where she will go to reside permanently. She was met at Tucson by her husband, Mr. Cheaves, who will accompany her to San Diego. BISBEE Editor the Tribune:—Please let the public know of the great work being done at Bisbee by Rev. Weaver and his good members of the C. M. E. church. Rev. Weaver has been here only five months and during that time has succeeded in raising $700 to pay on a church home and that with a membership of only 15. This group of fifteen is composed of some of the best people in Bisbee and they are great church workers. The C. M. E. people have the only church owned by colored people in the city. God has wonderfully blessed the work here and the missionary ladies have assisted materially in bringing about such wholesome results. These ladies are the best, most willing set of workers to be found anywhere. Mr. Johnson and Mr. Thornton have managed the work and business of the church as well as any stewards in Arizona could have done. I have just closed by third quarterly conference here and it was very successful. May the good work continue.—Z. Z. Johnson, P. E. Now that it is all over let us take a nap and get a bit of rest. 5 Cents a Copy; $2.50 a Year LEGAL PROCEEDINGS ARE STARTED AGAINST MASONIC GRAND LODGE Petitioning the corporation commission to set aside the charter issued last March and purported to be articles of incorporation of the Most Worshipful Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons (colored), Aubrey Carter and John L. Mack, members of the Phoenix colored lodge of Masons, instituted action this week on the ground that the articles were applied for without right and authority and had never been acknowledged before a notary. It is understood that the articles were filed by the Yuma lodge in an attempt to get control of the state, the prime mover being J. Henry Clark. It is alleged that some time ago Maricopa, Salt River Valley and Thumb Butte lodges called a meeting for the purpose of forming a grand lodge. During the recess of the call, the Yuma lodge filed the articles to which objection is made that the persons named in the notarial certificate did not acknowledge the papers. The commission has ordered the Yuma lodge members filing the articles to appear July 3 and show cause why the action taken by the commission should not be set aside. (By Archie Lewis) On June 19th a party of picnickers spent the day at Box canyon. They spent the day swimming and kodaking. The water is fine this year, being 15 feet deep in places. Every one had lunch baskets filled with good things to eat, and, believe me, they had SOME spread. A most enjoyable time was had by all. Mr. and Mrs. Bueford and family spent the 19th in Phoenix. Mr. and Mrs. Nathaniel Harris and Mrs. Jerome Wooden left this week for Chandler, where they will reside permanently. Mrs. J. J. McKelvey was hostess at a delightful chicken dinner at her home last week. Mr. and Mrs. Reuben Reed entered a few friends on the evening of the 19th with a Dutch lunch. Ham sandwiches, limburger cheese, crackers, "hot dogs" and near-bear were served. Music was furnished by the Victrola. After the lunch the evening was spent at dancing. J. A. Lewis of Superior spent a few days in camp last week. Mrs. Archie Lewis is suffering intense pain from a scorpion bite. She was bitten three times by a scorpion last Sunday evening. Mrs. Barnell is spending a few days in Flagstaff visiting Mrs. Fuller. There will be a hot time in Ray on July 5. Two ball games are scheduled, one in the morning between Ray and Superior, and one in the afternoon between the Standard Oil team of Phoenix and the locals. Immediately after the game come the real "doings," when Rufus Williams of Columbus, N. M., meets Cliff Jordan of Los Angeles in a ten-round boxing match. Rufus beat Kid George recently and Cliff Jordan has been selected as the next victim. The Mexicans of Sonora town are betting their last penny on the black boy, for they say he can't be whipped. We do not agree with them when they say Rufus can't be whipped, but we do say that it will take a good man to lick the hard-hitting boy from Columbus, N. M., yesah! BAN ON LATE DANCES Pasadena Won't Permit Music After Tén o'Clock in the Evening Tourist devotees of terpsichore or shimmying jazz music addicts will have to seek other diversion in Pasadena, Cal. A drastic ordinance forbidding dancing or the playing of dance music between the hours of 10 p. m. and 8 a. m., recently adopted by the city commission, has just become effective in Pasadena, one of the country's most popular tourist centers. Prohibiting the Turk from having a navy is not going to make him behave. He has been able to get any place he wanted without one. Prohibition experts foresee a dry England within the next five years. America is now setting some of the most prominent fashions* for the world. Arizona's Greatest Weekly .

Settee: aN ee MINNESOTA'S DISGRACE The following clippings from some of the leading daily news- papers in that section where a recent lynching took place, show the sentiment of the thinking people: The St. Paul Daily News said: “That the three men were charged with the vilest of crimes is no justification for ‘lynch Naw.’ Had they been guilty, there is no doubt that proof, convic- tion and punishment would have followed swiftly —BUT—under due process of law. Now it behooves the authorities to apply this same process to the men responsible for the affair. Ring-leaders lwere recognized, afid should be called to account as speedily and thoroughly as possible.” The St. Paul Dispatch said: “Conceding the provocation of lynch parties, nothing can be said, on the other hand, in extenua- tion of their acts. They, too, in the heat of their passion, have become not reasoning men but mad beasts. The mock trial held in the Duluth jail is indicative of their state of mind and feeling. [Nobody but mad men would make such a farcial pretense of or- ganized justice. 2 The Chicago Daily News said: “Whether the men hanged were guilty, the mob, of course, did not know, although it con- ducted what it chose to call a trial and turned three of its cap- tives back to the police. But the mob sought vengeance, as all mobs do, and taking three lives made a satisfying score.” The Chicago Evening Post said: “A mock trial was held in the station; three of six Negroes were condemned to death, and sentence was executed on the city’s streets over the protest of a Catholic priest, who alone seems to have had the courage to speak for law and order and human decency. This is a crime of a northern state, as black and ugly as any that has brought the south into disrepute. The Duluth authorities stand condemned in the eyes of the nation. They cannot escape condemnation by the plea that an attempt at effective resistance—an attempt in- volving the use of firearms—would have resulted in bloodshed. Blood should haye been shed before the mob was permitted to trample law and justice under foot, before possibly innocent men were surrendered to a summary and undiscriminating ven- seance.” The Chicago Journal said: “In scores of cases, innocence of the victims is probable, though proof is Jacking. Passing that point, there is an argument which ought to appeal to the dullest and most prejudiced mind. Lynching does not pay. Its chief alleged object in assault cases is to give protection to white women. While women are incomparably safer among the black populations of Bermuda, Barbadoes and Jamaica, where lynching is unknown, than in some of our own states where Negro sus- pects are sacrificed to mob fury every year. The second alleged object is to spare the victim of an assault the shame of public’ acknowledgment. Why not spare her the shame of the assault, as the islands mentioned actually do?” But why go further as the sentiments expressed are held by all fair-minded people.

Boe ee age FARM LABOR NOT SCARCE ALBANY, N. Y.—Ofticiais of the state department of farms and mar- kets assert-there will be no dearth of farm labor if farmers are willing to pay the wages. These officials ex- Press the belief that the farmers are beginning to realize that their products will command high prices next fall, and that will induce them to pay high wages to Jaborers and to plant at least as many acres as in former years. Men who left the tarm for the cities will be lured back to outdoor life as soon as the warm days come mae will need little coaxing, say the state officials. PE ee eos BLANTON AIDS SLACKER WASHINGTON—Congressman Blan- ton, one of America’s windy patriots, blocked an dttempt to apprehend a Philadelphia draft dodger who was sentenced to five years’ imprisonment and escaped. It is charged that the escape was made possible through a conspiracy and the house committee on rules submitted a privileged re- port, calling for an investigation, and recommended that same be’ passed. + It was then that the great Blanton arose in his patriotism, and by parlia- meniary tactics defeated the resolu tion from coming to a vote. The family of the draft dodger is reputed to be very wealthy, and has spent large sums to keep the slacker out of every possible danger while other boys were at the front or were willing to go. sie eee 40,000 HAVE TIME REDUCED BOSTON—A four-day week sched: wle for the mills of the American Woolen company is effective immedi- twely. Uncertain conditions through- out the country was given as the reason for the curtailment of output. The company employs 35,000 opera- tives in 50 mills in New England, New York and Pennsylvania. Why worry about who will be the presidential nominee this year, when any politician can tell you? And nearly all of them do—each naming a different man. ee ee bee Pe.

Strange But True When the American Indian was pushed back by the white man, Tuleg Sam allowed him to rest on the then worthless plains and jumps for his hunting ground, that the Red Man's white brother might till the fertile soil. Most of the rich oil fields of Oklahoma were on the worthless scrub bills of the Indian nation. The Texas ranch owner and farmer left the sagebrush plains and arid hills un touched. The state gave the refuse to the university and school ten. And again nature lavishes her wealth where beast expected, and the oil, gas and mineral resources of these school lands are building fortunes for those who come and take them for development, and now the state, the university and the public schools are reaping the fabulous riches the early settlers pushed aside. This is one of the strange things whereby nature takes care of her own and it is all very well because it gives the chance now we could never have gotten otherwise. Last Chance for Big Oil Lease Holdings from The Indian wards of the government have become fabulously rich from their oil lands in Oklahoma. The state of Texas, university and state school system is reaping millions from oil royalties.

If you want a dollar to do more for you then a thousand times that amount could do after one of the hundred big wells now drilling tunes in a gusher further extending and proving the trans-Pecos Rio Grande oil trend, you will have to get your application in my hands for oil lease-permit allotment on Texas school land. By co-operating with me you get the largest holdings for the least expense—Why pay more? Forty acres at $1.25 per acre—can be secured through Abner Davis, Trustee. 400,000 acres Texas university and school land oil and gas lease-permits, titles perfect—easy terms—state protection, blocked up covering trans-Pecos-Rio Grande trend where geologists and state surveys give unanimous approval for oil development.

Share on Ground Floor I could charge you $10 per acre now, or could hold for 30 days and charge $20 to $50 per acre, but that is not my way of doing business, man to man—I want these vast holdings to come into the hands of my friends who will co-operate with me for future developments at nominal expense with profits direct to the individual from their increase and then from co-operation and development under our system. I am not selling leases but I am building a great organization for profit-sharing. Would You Win Back Your Losses If You Could? You may have tried to win in oil and lost, but I can promise you these school land oil and gas lease permits now to be had practically free, will give you the biggest chance to win big with the least chance for loss of any oil investment on earth. Would You Save $10 a Month for a Million in a Lump? You are here given the real chance to win quickly and in a substantial way because big holdings can be had with only a few dollars cash and a few dollars for annual rentals and extension.

TEXAS OIL FIELDS ARE ATTRACTING ATTENTION OF PROMINENT MEN The University of Texas is rapidly occupying a commanding position in the oil industry of the world. The development of its lands through university permits is eagerly sought; its professors of geology are pointing out the probable new fields, and many of its alumni are actively prospecting. The most recent notable contribution to oil literature from the University of Texas is its pamphlet on the leases for enhanced values, sell a part for profit and hold the balance for a real fortune. Why not form a little syndicate of your own and secure a quarter section or a full 640-acre tract divided among your friends. I can co-operate with you in drilling, producing and refining, and the establishment of branch refineries, and filling stations, and distribution of refined products. We are now refining and shipping in tank cars Gasoline, Kerosene, Fuel Oil and Distillate at wholesale and retailing at our plants. DO YOU WANT YOURS? 40 Acres Oil, Gas and Mineral Lease Permits on University and School Lands in Texas. The very last chance you will ever have. There is no more land being created. There is no more oil being deposited. But Texas has a bountiful supply for all who have the nerve to try. I am determined that my friends and backers shall have the greatest chance for real wealth that ever came to so many people through the efforts of one man. There is no other way on earth by which this opportunity to distribute 400,000 acres of Texas oil and gas lease-permits on school lands could have ever come into my hands except because my friends have enabled me to climb to a strong position as an oil developer and refiner. This confidence is due to the tangible results of my efforts along constructive development lines in a few short years. So if I can turn 40 acres of Texas oil and mineral rights over to each of 10,000 people, I will have given to my friends the very thing their backing brought me. I do not believe there is another opportunity like this, or that there ever will be again. I do not believe there is another man in Texas who could get control of this magnificent combination of state and university holdings at this time, on such easy terms. TELEGRAPH ME YOUR RESERVATION Every man, woman and child that has ever invested a dollar through me, who is an American citizen, can secure an allotment of 40 acres of oil and gas lease-permits on Texas school land by agreeing to pay $1.25 per acre cash. This offer is made direct to those who have furnished me money in the past which enabled me to secure the vast university and school lease-permits I now have at my disposal.

ABNER DAVIS, Marathon field, copies of which may be had by addressing Dr. Udden, or the University, Austin, Texas, enclosing twenty cents. The next, big oil field in Texas will be found in the trans-Pecos country, covering Reeves, Crockett, Pecos, Browster, Kinney, Val Verde and Edwards counties, southwestern Texas, according to geologists, who have worked the territory for the big oil companies. Active drilling is going on throughout southwestern Texas, and particularly in these counties. It is most interesting to note the many types of men engaged in this work, which runs all the way from the novice to the veteran in the oil business, and from all classes of industry and society. For instance, the Ryan Petroleum is exploiting Crockett county; Benedum & Trees, the leading wildcat operators of the United States, are operating in the same county; Abner Davis, the biggest advertiser among the oil fraternity, is plunging heavily in Reeves county; Trapshooter Reilly is specializing in Pecos county; Ed H. R. Green, the big railroad man and leader of the black and tan Republican cohorts of Texas, and the son of the celebrated economical Hetty Green, is drilling in Edwards county; the sons of illustrious sires like, Roosevelt, Wood and McAdoo are also devoting their energies to the production of oil in grand old Texas. ABNER DAVIS SYSTEM FUEL OIL SATURDAY. JUNE 26. 1920 ABNER DAVIS SYSTEM GASOLINE Benefits of Co-operation The development carried on by the drilling branch of the trusteeship makes wealth for the participating members direct. This same development enhances the values of all individuals without expense to them and without expense or injustice to the developing department. If I go out and buy 80 acres or a section of 640 acres for development, I use the funds of the drilling branch of the trusteeship and thereby create great values for outsiders who own the adjoining and surrounding eighties or sections. If I do this development upon an 80 or section purchased from our own individual members, I do them the good turn and give the profit to those who have cooperated with me. Then I am-doing all others a further good turn, because incidentally I am developing and creating further values for all other individuals who have adjoining or surrounding property. Title Perfect With State Protection An oil and gas permit on university or state school lands in Texas is the ideal form of speculation in a large way with a very little money under the plans outlined whereby people everywhere may become interested in the vast petroleum deposits on Texas state lands, regardless of where they live.
