OIL STOCK IS CERTIFICATE
OF DEATH OF FRIENDSHIP
Brownwood, Texas.—"Did you ever
see a fancy engraved, printed-in gold,
death certificate'’" asked a salesman
of the occupant of an adjoining chair
In the Southern Hotel last Sunday.
"No?", he inquired, as Ills neighbor
nodded a non-commItal answer "Well,
here it Is, look at it." lie added, ex
hibiting a $t00 stock certificate in an
oil company.
"Did a well come in and somebody
drop dead?" asked the neighbor.
"Not that you could notice It. You
see a good customer of mine was or-
ganizing a company or something.
Any way he wanted to sell the stock;
I wanted to please him and bought it
J'hen the bottom fell out; no oil in a
hundred miles of oui lease So this
Is the certificate of the death of our
friendship He hates to see me I
don't like to go In his store Our
friendship Is dead and this Is a oertl
ficate of Its demise I am out one bun
died bucks and a customer total loss
and no salvage. Mv loss too. Is not ‘on
tlie house'. Do you blame me for go
Ing Into mourning?"
Then he lit Ills cigar and took s
speculative draw or two; suddenly he
asked, '"Would you give me a War
Savings Stamp for It?" His neighbor
grinned. "Not on your life' Hut it
certainly made a Christian of you. Yel
why the War Savings Stamp? An oil
speculator turning to War Havings
-Stamps is going some; what's the
Idea?” "Boy." said the salesman. "Got
a boy at home. Got more sense than
the old man Gave him $100 on his
birthday; he's got it yet, salted away.
War Havings Htamps and such. I lost
mine But I'll be game and catch him
yet. Wish I'd been taught 'safety first'
in investments like he has. That's
why I’m for the schools now good and
strong, they are getting to be worth
the money In this savings business
alone even If they did not teach an
other thing In thp world."
SPECULATORS INCUR HEAVY
LOSS SAYS DALLAS BANKER
"More than ninety-five out of every
hundred dollars invested in oil stocks
lb a clear loss," said Nathan Adams,
vice president of a Dallas hank with
nearly $.30,000,000 deposits In other
words, had every purchaser of $106
worth of oil stock bought Just one War
Savings Stamp and burned the remain
Ing $96.82 of his money, the entire
group would have more money on
band than It has today. The Thrift
and War Havings Htamps and Regis
tered Treasury Certificates are guar
anteed to be worth more arty day than
they cost; It is the nation's guarantee
against the Imagination of the stock
salesman.”
Convincing stock salesman art gath-
ering In Liberty Bonds at marks#vet
ae In trade for securities they assprt
will give more Income. But the fact
that they are so anxious to trade Is
evidence their pictures of dazzling di
vldends are merely painted for the
buyer; otherwise why should they give

for Liberty Bonds paying slightly more
than 6% ? Tha answer la Uut they

WAR SHORN OF ITS GLAMOR
Modem Painters, Who Themselves
Have Looked on Death, Depict
Slaughter aa 'it Really la
For the first time In history war la
painted as it Is. The varnish, the
glory has heap taken off. It stands
out ly, all Its sodden horror. The
opening of the Salon des Artistes
Frunculs, filled for the most part with
eiinviiseM of men who have been In the
tranches, show an ustonlshlng ab
sence of battle scenes,
_ Most of the painters Imre sought In-
spiration elsewhere. Those who have
found It lu the war have rendered
only the dull misery of life at the
front.
They show no clash of nnnles,
these painters who have loTui through
the wur, no flourish of trumpets, not
even fragments of general tights. Hut
wur as it Is. A soldier, limping toward
the lines, exhausted, despairing, hold-
ing up to his mouth a handkerchief,
dark us a clot of blood is what one
sees. The face Is distorted with suf-
fering, and the uniform Is of that In-
describable color which comes only
from continual exposure to the ele-
ments. Garry paints a blinded soldier
guided towards a relief station, Michel
and I’oiiznrgiies show waterflooded
Wenches.
If governments In the future wish
inure pleasant and cheerful war
scenes they will have to call on art-
ists who stayed away from the front.
Those who served were too clow to
death to paint nnythlng but the truth.
JUST REPETITION OF HISTORY
Fads of the Present Day Had Their
Counterpart in the Fashions
of Years Ago.
Nothing 1.4 'sow under the sun, not
even the newest and most up-to-date
girl striker of the" present day, with
bobbed hair, nor even the employer
who complains of the fashion. A writ-
er In "Blackwood" has discovered that
In the time of James I, this fashion
WAS affected by women who donned
the doublet nnd hose, which nroused
the Ire of nn unknown author, who In
1020 lampooned the women of the day
for so dressing, unit Instead of keeping
to "the modest attire of the comely
hood, cowl or coif and handsome dress
anil klrchlfs" betook themselves to the
“cloudy, ruffianly, broad-brimmed hut
and wanton feuthers." Nor wns this
all. The extravagance of tier cowtun.
with the "French doublet" which took
the place of a “conceited straight
gown” was not in the author's oye the
deadliest otTeiiRe; Incredible though It
seems, she would "out anil cut her
hHir to the despicable fashion of tlic
I’urltan.” So the bobbed hair conics
as a reminiscence of the modern maid-
en’s forebears In tlie Covenanters'
time.
Selling Shoes Under Difficulties.
I>enn B. Xiovor. southern salesinnn
for a Brockton shoe concern, got an
order under difficulties while out on
his Inst trip. He made a North Car-
olina town ami hired n taxi to take
him to a township Hi miles awn.v_ to

the outskirts of Ids destination he
found that the heavy floods had
washed away the only bridge. Mr.
Stover decided Hie only tiling; lo do

suggested that there might he a boat

puddled him hack to the other shore,
rcqulnlHoned a small wharf and laid
his samples out on the roudslde. And
he made the sale. -Brockton Enter-

All Blush Now.
Playwrlght Eugene Walter apropos
of a New York publisher's conviction
fur publishing a supposedly obscene
novel said;
“The novel In question Is harmless,
and the people who brought about
that poor publisher's conviction were

me of a story.
