Bill MS
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
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
some 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
yxnd 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
T 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.

WHITE KING SIMON '
IRE TURNED TO RED
—
Evidently some of the buyers on
| Puget Sound are not educated to
! the point they are in Ketchikan,
■judging from a trick played upon
| one by a troller, says the Ketchikan
\ Chronicle. The fish buyers here
• can tell whether a fish is seine
caught, trap caught, troll, how long
it has been out of water and in
which district it was caught. The
article in The Fisherman says:
“A Neah Bay fish buyer one;
morning not long ago discovered:
I that he had some decidedly cur- '
i rious fish among the “large red
| kings” he had bought the evening i
; before. Examination showed them
to be white kings which had been
“doctored.”
“How, it is not at all unusual for
white kings to be colored when
they are being kippered, but it is
| extraordinary at the receiving
; scows. It appears that some trol
| ler, having a considerable catch of
j white kings, dressed the fish and
! then colored the cut surfaces with
mercurochrome or some other red
dye. Delivered at the receiving
station after dusk, the fish were
bought as red kings, and the paint
er-fisherman gained seven cents a
pound by reason of his handiwork.
“On hearing of the incident, one
Seattle fish man remarked that ho
was not surprised, as he had heard

of a fish buyer who said that he
graded very carefully between white
and red fish. To prove the keen
ness of his judgment, he pointed to
his two piles of fish—one pile was
all salmon and the other halibut.”
