BILL JONES
NEEDS MORE INCOME
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
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 must
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 i
was put there for a “rainy day”
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 man
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.

NEW WITEH ROUTE TO
ALASKA IS HUMORED
Along the Seattle waterfront are j
heard rumors of a new water route j
to Alaska, from San Pedro to San !
Francisco, thence to Seattle for a
two-day stop, and on to the Port
of Seward.
The name of the Alaska Steam
shpi Company is mentioned in this
connection.; also, that such a serv- ;
ice was to have been inaugurated j
last summer but plans were can- ;
celled for a year.
Roughly calculating the most j
prominent of Alaska tourists, it is i
believed the larger majority orig- 1
inate in California.
j
! Employes of the Alaska Rail-1
jroad in the headquarters building,1
' store department and mechanical
i department, went on their winter
schedule of working hours last
week and they will continue on
that schedule until the end of
nxt April. The starting hour
under the new schedule is 8:30
o’clock and the closing hour 4:30
o’clock, with an hour off at noon
for lunch as usual, reports the
Anchorage Times.
During the same period there
will be a Saturday half-holiday
for office employes, store depart
mnt employes, bridge gang and
mechanicle department forces.
The bulletin announcing the win*
j ter schedule, which was issued
■over the signature of Col. O F.
Ohlson, general manager, states
that “the head of the department
having supervision or control of
such employes, may in emergency
or in the protection of life,
j health or property, require an em
ploye to remain on duty on Satur
day afternoon and such employe
may be given not exceeding the
equivalent time off during the
following week, if when he may
be spared.
"Each department and import
ant office will arrange for one or
more employes to be on duty on
Saturday afternoon, when neces
sary, to take care of urgent needs
of the public.
“It is expected that, not-with
standing, the shortening days, by
punctuality and concentration of
effort, the work will be kept up
as at present.”
RUNS ON COMPRESSED AIIl
LOS ANGELES Oct-, 15, (/P)—
An. automobile that runs on com- j
pressed air, which can be collect- !
ed and utilized over again, has j
; been successfully tested and de- j
1 veloped to a speed of 35 miles an:
i hour, it was revealed here. The j
| inventor is Ray J. Meyers.
