WORLD WIDE SERV'CE !
OF SALVATION ARMY
Salvation Preached in Forty
Tongues
Tho Salvation Army covers ihe
world. Wherever the cry of du-
trosaed humanity is hoard, it i)us-
wei's, "We are here." Ii has pisinl.e<j
the cross in heathen soil, and has
fought for all people on the globe
the battles against disease, crime,
misery, and want.
Already 9,698 corps and posts of
the Salvation Army are established
in sixty countries and colonies. Its
workers are preaching salvation in
forty tongues. People of seventy-one
different nationalities serve in its
ranks. It has 1,191 social institu-
tions, 605 day schools and 16,519
officers and cadets, and every year
the Salvation Army finds its world
growing bigger.
Fro in the moment the first guns of
the world war sounded across Ku-
rope, the Salvation Army was on the
battlefields. Germans entering Bel-
gium found the Salvationists there.
At Marchienees, two women officers
were sized as hostages. When they
were released a day or so later their
first act was to open a shelter for
families whose houses the invaders
had destroyed. So il went from those
early days of the great struggle un-
til the boys of Pershing's army rais-
ed their voices to tell the world of
the cool heroism and unflinching de-
votion with which the Salvation Ar-
my served them. The Salvation Ar-
my was ready even for a world-war
just as it always has been ready
when earthquakes, plagues, great
tires and other human catastrophes
caused the cry for a id to echo to its
portals.
In Italy, when thousands of refu-
gees fled before the invading Hun,
the Salvation Army was there ready
to help. So it was in Serbia. So it
is in Russia where even the Red '('er-
ror and Bolshevism failed to daunt.
the Salvation Army Reinforcements
were sent from l.ondan to the Sal-
vation Army workers who were in
Russia at the time of the first rev-
olution. Now there are seventeen
Salvation Army headquarters in that
land of chaos as well as training
schools for officers, slum stations
homes for refugee women and chil-
dren and shelters for the aged.
In China, the work of the Salva-
tion Army, which began only a few
years ago, is now well advanced.
There are a dozen Salvation Army
corps In China, a girl's industrial
home, a training school for officers,
and a printing press from which in
issued the Chinese copy of the "War
Cry."
In India, outside of the work of re-
lieving the impoverished and con-
verting the criminal, the Salvation
Army has performed noteworthy
service in the establishment of hos-
pitals and dispensaries by which the
frequently recurring visitations of
the plague are fought. There are
almost a dozen Salvation Army h(>3
pitals in India
in Korea the relief of famines has
hern the Salvation Army's greatest
light. South Africa is an old Salva-
tion Army battle ground, the Army
having established itself there in
IKX:i. Industrial homes, women's
shelters, iprison relief and training
schools are only a few of the Ar-
my's activities there
Practical Christianity is the way
the Salvation Army sums up its
work around the world. Everywhere
in service to the Allied Cause
its workers display the persever-
ance, patience and self-sacrifice
which are so familiar to those who
have had the opportunity of observ-
ing Salvation Army activities any-
where. A striking example of the
sell'-sacrilicing bravery of the typi-
cal Salvationist is that of the sink-
ing of the steamship "Empress of
Ireland" There were 14rt Salvation
Army workers aboard, and, when
ihe sea gave up i's dead, not a Sal-
vationist was found with a life belt
on.
The money raised by the Salvation
Army during its Home Service Cam-
paign will be used in enlarging the
work at home
SALVATION ARMY LEADER NAMED
BREVET COLONEL
America's gratitude for the work of
the Salvation Army in France and
in Belgium was voiced today in a
resolution introduced in the senate
by Senator Watson of Indiana con-
ferring upon Miss Kvangelinc Booth,
commander of the Salvation Army in
America, the rank of brevet colonel
in the United States army and fur-
ther recommended that a gold
medal be awarded tier and that
through her the thanks of congress
be extended to the Salvation Army
George Carver
George Carver, drayman and
pioneer citizen of Canadian died
Tuesday evening after an illness
of several days of Bright's Dis-
ease. He had been in failing
health for some time and went to
the hospital Tuesday for an opera-
tion, but he was too weak and the
surgeons had just started th,e
operation when they saw that he
would not survive it.
The funeral was held from the
Baptist church this morning and
interment was made in the City
cemetery. The Rev. E. D. Morgan
conducted the funeral services.
George Carver was born in Baf-
ron County, Kentucky, on August
8, 1866. He married Miss Lottie
E. Austin in Cook County, Texas
in 1890, and the family became
residents of Canadian in 1904, and
Mr. Carver continued in the dray
business up to the time of his
death. He leaves a widow and
nine children, six boys and three
girls, to mourn his death. All live
in Canadian except one daughter,
Mrs. Verna Jeschka, who lives in
Colorado.
Mr. Carver was one of the best
citizens of this city alnd he leaves
a large number of friends who
were indeed sorry to learn of his
death.
USEFUL IN MINING DISASTERS
Wartime Device, Perfected by Ameri-
can Engineer*, Has a Practical
Purpose in Peace.
In the latter iJuys of i he war re-
ports emanated from France of a mys-
terious listening device which "heard"
sounds inaudible l<> the ear,-md locatetV
their source. The same mechanism
developed to highly practical form by
American engineers, has now been
adopted by the United States bureau
of mines lor locating miners acciden-
tally entombed, says Popular Mechan-
ics magazine.
The instrument, called a "geophone,"
is practically a miniature seismograph.
It Is quite simple, consisling of an iron
ring closed at each side by a dia-
phragm of mica. In the center is sus-
pended by a bolt through the dia-
phragms. a disk of lead. A brass cap
forms an air chamber at each end. To
the center of one cap is attached a
rubber tube with si ethoscopi-c ear-
pieces.
The metal case, set on end on the
ground, vibrates to every shock : bur
the lead disk, held by inertia, does not.
The resulting disturbance of the mica
diaphragms is communicated to the
earpieces with extraordinary sensitive-
ness.
Willi (wo instruments, one for each
ear, the listener can aecurately locate
the source of the sound. and even
identify the cause, In government
tests hounding wilh a sledge was lo-
cated through Moil feet of bituminous
coal, other Concussions regisiering in
proportion.
SALVATION ARMY TO
WIND UP CAMPAIGN!
•ri'' Salvation Army will finish u,
its .Home Service campaigns for J91'
1" T< mis. Oklahoma, Louisiana am
Soirhwest Arkansas by the end o
September, according to a suuemen
just issued by Lieut. Col. Georgt
Wood who is in charge of Salvador
Army activities in the Southwest.
During this intervening period Sal-
vation Army Home Service cam-
paigns will be put on in every coun-
ty and community throughout this
territory which has not already rais
ed i's assigned quota. These quota-
have been determined on thirteeu
per cent per capita basis, except in
the case of cities which are puttinj
on building campaigns when the pei
capita allotment is determined by
the local campaign committee.
Of the quotas assigned to the
states in this territory, Texas has al*
ready raised $513,278.00 of a quota of
$5A0,0{)0, Oklahoma has raised about
$78,000 of a $300,000 quota and Louis-
iana has raised $8.147.36 of a *100.
00() quota.
t'ol. Wood has announced that
many of tho counties in this territory
have already been organized for this
campaign. Organization in the re-
maining counties will be undertaken
immediately so that whirl-wind cam-
paigns can be put on within the next
few weeks.
The purpose of these campaigns is
to obtain funds with which to maka
•possible the extension of Salvation
Army work in ibis territory, All
money raised in a slate will be spent
in that state. At present, the. Salva-
tion Army maintains a Rescue Home
In San Antonio for unfortunate girls,
a home for children at El Paso,
wen kingmen's hotels in Heaumont,.
Pallas, Fort Worth and Galveston,
Texas, second-hand stores in Dallas-
and Port Worth. Red Shield Hotels
for soldi,-is in San Antonio and El
Paso, and a home for working girls
in Dallas
It is planned to enlarge these In-
stitutions and erect similar ones In
Oklahoma and Louisiana. The Sal-
vation Army also pians to erect
community buildings in every city
throughout this territory where a
Salvation Army Corps is established.
These buildings will serve as clubs
for working men of the communities
and their families besides being the
center of all Salvation Army activi-
ties for their immediate sectijn^. j
The next best thing to doing
Christian service," Col. Wood stated
recently, "is to help someone else to
do it. Thousands who are living in
places where opportunities for such
Service are not favorable can join
in the Salvation Army work by cou- i
trltinting to and securing contriibu
tions for the work."
Misplaced Slang.
A story i hat has a point worth
thinking about'was recently primed in
file Louisville Courier-Journal. A boy
had passed a fairly good examination,
and his pros|>eerive employer lohl hiic
i.o report ilie next morning.
"I goleha." said tho boy.
"lint you hjiven't got the job vet
whs tin- swift reply, "and what's more,
you never will."
Historic Battleship.
Possibly a majority of the Stnten
Islanders passing up and down the bay
recently did not recognize a historic
naval vessel moored for several days
off Tompklnsville This was a two-
funneled, gray-painted vessel of old-
fashioned lines, the old cruiser Balti-
more. once a unit of the famous white
squadron and a veteran of Dewey's
Meet at iIn* buttle of Manila bay.
The Ualtiuiore is now the oldest
fighting ship in active service in the
navy. She was built by the Cramps !
Jr. 1SS8 and consequently Is SI years
old. I'esplte Iter years' the Bal-
timore is in tirst-rate condition,
' and during the great war rendered
; mo.-i valuable service. She had tile
I honor to head the first convoy of
United States troopships to go over-
seas. and more recently took part in
laying the great mine barrage in the
North sea —New York Sun.
The Way It Ought to Be.
"We've got it on record, anyhow."
"What V"
"The Germans admit that we forced
them to sign the peace treaty. That
ought to end their boasts that they
weren't licked."

Unbreakable Thermos.
The convenience of the vacuum bot-
tle Is recognised, hut Its fragility has
always been oue of Its shortcomings.
This Is sold to have been entirely over-
come by a type which has been recent-
ly Invented. Instead' of fragile glass,
the bottle is made wilh nonbreakable
welded steel vacuum walls. The usual
glass filler or container Is done away
with, and Its place is taken by a high-
ly-glazed flexible enamel fused to the
steel shell. There are, therefore, no
removable parts hut the cork and the
part which forms the cover. There
are also no unsealed openings at the
neck, Into which liquids may leak.
This type of bottle is surfaced with
dull-black rubber composition applied
to the steel and baked. The bottle is
made In one and two-quart sizes, the
latter being successfully possible be-
cause of its nonbreakahllity. Liquids
nitty be kept hot. for 20 hours and cold
for more than 40, It Is claimed.
Use Iodine for Wounds.
A cut a -cratch, a bruise, or nny
similar kind of injury should be paint-
ed witii iodine. As soon as injured,
dip a match with cotton rolled on the
end of It in the iodine and paint over
lie wound without washing. The Io-
dine will kill all germs In the dirt that
gets Into the wound, while washing
only drives the germs farther into the
flesh. When painted with iodine, wrap
the Injured part In a clean cloth for a
couple of days.
Belated Proof.
"1 see where I was severely wounded
in the war," remarked a discharged
soldier.
"Ar« .vou just now finding that out?"
"Of course not, but It's some satis-
faction to have a casualty list In my
home pnper corroborate the statements
I've been making for six months to
friends and members of my family."—

FIRST OFFERING OF THE
WOLF CREEK
MMHmI
OUR PROGRAM
The aim of the organizers of this Company is to produce oil. We propose making this an OIL
COMPANY in every sense of the word; in so doing—THREE things are essential, namely:
MANAGEMENT, SUFFICIENT OPERATING CAPITAL AND ACREAGE—these three plus
expert advice in selecting acreage spell DIVIDENDS.
We assure each and every shareholder of a square deal.
We intend drilling our well to a depth of 4000 feet unless oil or gas is found in paying quan
til its at lesser depth.
We will start drilling just as soon as a sufficient amount of stock can be sold, and will prose-
cute the work with all due diligence until the well is completed.
Should we get production we guarantee our stockholders 75 per cent of the net profit de-
rived from the well, the remaining 25 per cent to be used to further development.
In order to insure our shareholders against loss of their original investment, it is o"ur pur-
pose lo sell either 2000 or 15000 acres of our lease after the well is spudded in; by so doing we
should have sufficient funds in our treasury to return to each shareholder the amount of his
or her investment, this is your SAFETY should we bring in a dry hole.
If we get a well, w hich we are sincerely confident of doing, we still have acreage enough to
make all of us an enormous profit; if we are fortunate enough to get one of those 5000 to
10,000 barrel gushers our stock will be worth as Hogg Creek which is now selling around
$15,000 a share.

VALUE
OUR HOLDINGS 4,00|| acres
ton Ranch;
in Lipscomb
County
Our holdings consist of 4000 acres in oil and
gas leases in Lipscomb county about nine miles
from the town of Lipscomb and located on the
Barton ranch.
We have goffie over this ground thoroughly
and are of the opinion that it is on as fine struc-
ure as any in this state.
Our lease lies in the center of a circle of lo-
cations for drill sites which is the best evidence
of its value.
It is conceded by some of the best geologists and oil men in general that one of the greatest.
oil field ever known will be opened in the Panhandle country and it is our firm belief and con-
viction that our lease is in the heart of what will be the producing area.
Certainly it is wildcat, but all undeveloped territory is wildcat, and were it not foft* wildcat-
ting there would be no production.
Now this is decidedly a local company, the success of which depends upon local support and
we ask yours to the full.
Remember the old axium still holds good—"If you would make money in the oil game, stay
ahead of the drill.".
The profits in the oil business have been so widely advertised since the discovery of Burkbur-
nett and other Texas rril fields that comment is unnecessary, however, we will call your atten-
tion to the following paragraph:
Hugh N. Fitzgerald in the New York World estimates the total investment in the Burkbur-
nett field at $1:5,000,000.00 while $30,000,000.00 have been taken from it leaving a net profit of
SI 7,000,000.00 in less than nine (9) months. If oil is found in this vast empire, "The
Panhandle," the above profits will be a small item by way of comparison.
Now we know that you have the development of this part of the state at heart, we know that
you want to make clean, legitimate money, so come in with us for all you can afford to> buy.
