Mrs. James Le Claire died in
Fairbanks recently following an ex
tended illness. She had been con
fined to the hospital for several
weeks but her illness dated back
over a period of some years, says
the News-Miner.
Winter is approaching and the
children's school expense will be
higher this year than last. Bill
looks forward to less income in
the regular way. Many industries
have shifted to the “zigzag” plan
for their employees in an effort j
to help everyone thru the winter.;
This means that each employee,
will have about half as much in-!
come. Prices of clothing and food
have come down some, but not in
keeping with the “zigzag” income.
There will be just as much coal to
buy and rent to pay. Bill must
buy and rent to pay. Bill must1
have more money than he can
expect from his usual sources.
He has some money in the sav- !
ings bank drawing 3 per cent in- !
terest. While it is true that money
was put there for a "rainy day” i
it isn’t bringing him any income
worth mentioning; and $20 or $40
or even $100 of that wouldn’t go
very far on a “rainy day.” He
needs more money coming in.
Bill Jones is the average Amer
ican. He knows that many a jnan
in exactly his financial condition
has invested part of his money
and has made enough return to
give him the added income he
needed. But Bill knows there is
seme speculation with every in
vestment, no matter what it is or
how good it sounds.
He doesn’t know whether he
should take any chances on either
his savings account or his present
income. Of course his savings ac
count is not absolutely safe; he
realizes more money has been lost
by depositors thru bank failures
during the last 10 years than
thru any single line of investment
other than the stock market crash
in 1929. Being a true American
and realizing that “nothing risked,
nothing gained,” he likes to take
a chance. Bill is a cautious fel
low and wants to speculate, but
he doesn’t want to lose his money.
So he tosses aside all the “wild
eyed” promises and impractical
guarantees that flood the mails
and seeks out a chance to specu
late with the safety of a flowing
oil well to fall back on if the
well he bets on turns out to be
dry. If the new well comes in
big, Bill should make a profit
of 10 times his investment. If
he doesn’t he still has his money
where it should pay him dividends,
over a period of years, twenty
times larger than the savings
bank interest. And he has the
speculative chance of making a
real fortune if the new' well comes
in good. He wants to speculate
with his “fingers crossed,' as it
were, and that is exactly what
he does when he accepts our spe
cial Pool offer, and shares in one
gusher while we drill for another.
Write us for full information,
but better still—mail us $20, $100,
or even $200, and share in our
next dividend. If you are like
Bill Jones, we might help you.

GOLD IN COIN SO
SUPPLE WILL DO MORE
FORT WORTH, Tex., Oct. 12. (JP)
—Reduction of the gold content
in an American, dollar is part of
a plan advanced by City Council
man William Monnig for relieving
depressed economic conditions in
the United States.
Monnig, explaining his plan,
said: “I am sure that the value
of gold during the last five or 10
years has materially increased,
due to the fact that most coun
tries have adopted the gold stand
ard and to the further fact that
the production of gold has not
been sufficient to keep pace with
the demand for it.
“Since gold is the measure of
value, this naturally means that
everything besides gold declined
in price, or is bound to decline in
price as time passes- It means
that everyone owing debts has a
much heavier load to carry than
he contemplated when the debts
were created.
“To relieve this situation, it is
my idea that President Hoover
should at once appoint a commit
tee to determine to what extent
gold has appreciated in value, or
rather, to determine how much
commodities and everything else
have declined in value as a re
sult of the appreciation of the
value of gold. At the proper time
Congress should pass an act re
ducing the amount of gold in the
dollar in the same ratio as the
advance in the price of gold.
“If a law of this kind should
be viewed as unconstitutional,
then the Constitution should be

amended. After the act is passed,
everything immediately would be
enhanced in value and debtors
would have a chance to pay their
liabilities in money of approxi
mately the same value as existed
at the time the debts were creat
ed”, reports the Denver Mining
Record.
