OIL BOOM I01S
BONDED TO QUICK
SMALL OKLAHOMA TOWNS EX
AMPLES OF PREMATURE
HEAVY BOND ISSUES
OKLAHOMA CITY, Nov. 27. (#*)—
Cities that “might have been” and on
which high tax rates were levied after
heavy bond issues had been voted, are
frequent in Oklahoma history.
Devall and Pershing, both small oil
towns in Oklahoma were given as ex
amples by Randell Cobb, assistant at
bond department.
trney general in charge of the state
Six years ago, oil was brought to
the surface in the vicinity of the lit
tle village of Pershing. Visualizing
i large city in the future the ambitious
citizens voted a $140,000 bond issue
for the purpose of building a water
works system.
Oil production dwindled and the
i
city’s population decreased. The town
is now indebted for nearly half its i
valuation. Most of the bonds, which
were sold, are being held by municipal
sinking funds.
The story of Pershing was repeated
at Devall. When oil was found, a
“boom” occurred and citizens voted
large amounts for municipal improve
ments. Then the population decreas
ed and taxes bounded to excessive
rates. A number of Devall citizens
moved their homes outside the city
limits fo avoid paying the levy.
NUDE MEN AND WOMEN
IN NEW DARDEN EDEN
NICE, Italy, Nov. 27. (/P)—The first
snow flurry succeeded in putting
clothes on a colony which during the
summer months had for its habitat
i mountain about 20 miles north of
STice, a task which the police had been
trying to achieve for several months.
Reports of nude men and women
running round the lofty plateau had
been sent to the police by peasants !
and sheperds. The officers made sev-1
eral visits to the new garden of Eden,!
but the inhabitants always disappear- j
ed before their approach, only to re-1
turn a few hours later.
An expedition on a larger scale was
being organized when along came the
snow and dispersed the colony.
SELL YOUR 0R9ANIZAII0N
TO YOUR PEOPLE FIT,
ADVISES WM. NEVILLE
“The problems of the Seward Cham
ber of Commerce I find are akin to
the difficulties practically all other
chambers that I have had the pleasure
to attend,” stated Wm, Neville, Alask
an salesman, who was a guest at the
recent local chamber luncheon. ‘I won
der if it has ever occured to the mem
bers of this organization to first sell
the Seward Chamber of Commerce
to your citizenry?
“The Wrangell body had a very
hard time for years but the above sug
gestion was carried out and it worked
out beautifully. Some resistance wras
found, but very little, but now the
Wrangell chamber is on a sound fi
nancial basis and wonderful results
are being obtained. California sold it
self to Californians, then to the world
and I believe it is a step in the right
direction if you first devote all your
energies to selling your organization
to your people.
“Before Alaska can ever amount to
anything coorperation between your
communities, towns and cities must
come. As an example anything which
will benefit Anchorage will benefit
Seward and carrying the idea further
on a larger scale, anything which ben
efits Southeastern Alaska will benefit
pr:.—
the remainder of the Territory and so
on, I have noted an increasing tenden
cy of coorperation between Alaska
Chambers of Commerces and to me
this Is the most healthful sign.”

“Pigs Is Pigs”
A ham is a piece of pig. Most pigs remain plain
pigs—a few go to the County Fair and win blue rib
bons. A ham from “just a pig” is “just a ham.” To
make sure that the ham will be truly “delicious,”
Frye-Bruhn and Co. starts with the pigs, grain-fed
animals, reared in cleanliness, prize-winning stock.
Throughout the process of curing the thought
is kept in.mind that this is not just a “ham” in the
making—it’s a “Frye's Ham,” requiring the experi
ence and genius of the Frye-Bruhn organization to
make it worthy of the Frye label. Then, after all,
the label isn't necessary! Just taste it! If it's “deli
cious,” it's Frye-Bruhn's ham.
