~~ SOME CORRECTIONS
« Some peoplehave been led to believe that our stock
was all sold out. THIS IS NOT THE CASE. We are still
selling stock at par value of $1.00, and will continue to
do so until conditions warrant an advance in price, which
we believe will be in two or three weeks.
Some people have been led to believe that our cap-
italization is too high, because the plant will not cost the
entire $300,000. They never stop to think that 4,000 bar-
' rels of crude—one day’s run—costs $10,000, and surely
a few days supply will be necessary before the income of
the plant will commence at all.
It is not our purpose to sell you a plant at $300,000
and run off and leave it with you, but it is our purpose to
construct and operate a refining business, and we be-
lieve our capital is as low as is practicable for the purpose
We hope to make money out of it—a lot of it—for .
ourselves as well as our stockholders.
^,
We invite you to come in with us on what we know
to be a safe and sound money-making business, while
the stock is still being sold at par value. Come to our’
office in the Tribune building and talk it over with our
officers
A CLEAN DEAL
will be gladly, courteously and truthfully explained to
you without obligating you to buy our stock. We want
to be friends with you anyway.

Ghost stories and songs
dulged in throughout the meal.
From eight until eleven the mem
bers of the faculty were hosts at
the girl’s dormitory, to the entire
student body.
The decorations were typical of
Halloween, portiers of apples,
jack-o’lanterns, witches, bats and
black cats were everywhere in ev-
idence.
Grewsome ghosts of the dead
met the guests at the door, and
conducted them to the throne room
to meet the “queen of spooks”, and
through purgatory. Later, visits
were made to the grave yard to
witness the digging up of John
Smith, to the Past, Present and
Future, and to Blue Beard's wives.
A real gypsy fortune teller in-
stalled in a tent read the fate of
each in a crystal ball.
The school orchestra supplied
the music.
Delicious apple cider and dough-
nuts were served.
JOHN TARLETON COLLEGE
DEFEATS THORP
SPRINGS, SCORE 65-0
sffsJH
The Thorp Springs foot ball
team played John Tarleton on the
college field Monday afternoon.
The enthusiastic student body of
the college was there in full force
to furnish “pep” for the occasion.
At the end of the first quarter
the score was 13-0. At the close
of the first half, the home team had
added Seven more points, leaving
practically a walk-over for the last
half, during which time the score
was raised tp 65.
The victory won, the student
body and faculty decided to cele-
brate it with a parade. At 7:30 p.
m., after a few preliminary yells,
the boys arrayed in night shirts
started down Tarleton Avenue for
the town square. The dormitory
girls with colors flying kept pace
with them on one side. The noise
attracted the citizens, and by the
time the crown had reached the
court house, there were a number
of spectators. At the square the
parade took the form of a “snake-
dance” interspersed with college
yell3 and songs.
The fun over, each student
quietly returned to His post of duty

Among the first official acts of
the new sheriff, Abe Oxford, was
the arrest of a man in Stephenville
who appeared to be intoxicated.
W.ifen he refused to divulge the
name of the party from whom he
obtained the exhilarating bever-
age he was placed in jail, and told
he would be held there uptil he
was willing to testify. Then the
sheriff arrested a brother of the
first man wha also appeared to be
suffering from an overdose of joy
juice. The sheriff then suceeded
in getting the name of the vendor,
who lived at Thurber. The men
were fined on a charge of intoxi-
cation.
Arriving at Thurber the sheriff
found the man alleged to have sold
the joy juice, and also the barrel
from which it had been drawn.
The barrel was in a private home
mounted on a platform for conven-
ience in operating the spigot. The
man in whose home the barrel was
found was brought to Stephenville
and placed in jail. The stuff in
the barrel appeared to be a sort of
wine, and had in it about as many
kicks to the drink as a circus mule
could develop during an evening’s
performance.
The men arrested claimed they
bought one gallon of the juice from
the Thurber vemlol\

When Freezone removes corns
