WAR DEPARTMENT PLANS Secretary Weeks recently .submitted a review to the Senate and House "Military committees which contains some interesting statementsThe interesting part of the report « that which deals with the Army Reserves, 2,900 reserve officers being assigned to units and 50,000 others being available for assignmentThis coming summer it is expected to put in training 100,000 of the National Guard, 10,000 Reserve Officer TrainmgV,Oorps members, 20,000 Re- j serve officers, 10,000 reserve enlirted . ' men, and 27,000 civilians. The states are rapidly getting their National Guard organizations to a point of completeness with the pas- , sible exception of New Jersey. New j I Jersey is making a huge effort to get ;the National Guard affairs cleaned i out by disorganizing the present or- , ganization so that another one built; around former service officers and men can be gotten togetherIf these plans are carried out the United States will be by no means unprepared for the emergency of war despite the fact that there is a probability of the standing army being rer duced to 150,000 men. » This seems to be the happy middle I course between ugly militarism ami I helplessness. This the American idea of the duties of citizenship, patriotic I civic service in keeping fit to fight for - the country if the emergency arises and at the same time free to pursue health, wealth and happiness. Any American is a better American after he has put in some time as a soldier whether it be peace time or war time soldiering- ; ENGINE JUMPS TRACK I The Wfest Jersey engine of the lo- • eal train arriving at Wildwood about 9.52 jumped the track at Oak avenue Monday morning because of the snowpacked "frog" at that point ] The next train, in a 'little after ten , o'clock, hooked onto the rear of the stalled train and pulled the wander- ] ing one back to safety with the as- i sistance of a crowd of workmen with planks and tools.

§ Texas Oil!

natures gift §1 that makes vast riches g:

| Where $100 Quickly Makes Fortunes |; ft e ft More people have made more and greater fortunes in a shorter length of time from the investment of small sums of money in V , ft the Texas Oil Fields than from any other one thing that has been discovered in the history of the world. The original investment of O , Yf $100 has, time and time again, grown to THOUSANDS. As high as $50,000 is claimed as a record for TEXAS OIL INVESTMENTS, C and yet, according to the opinion of well informed oil men, the ground has barely been scratched and more fortunes will be made in the ft t ft future- This announcement brings to you what we believe is the outstanding opportunity in Texas today and we request that you read Q Yf it carefully.

' Convince yourself that the holdQ inge of the company, the places XT wnere they propose to drill, are Yf reasonably good prospects to get /J ■ oil ; convince yourself th'at they ft are HONEST and will oive you a Yf square run' for your money- © All these things I feel you will ft find to the fullest extent in the Yf GREAT SOUTHERN OIL COR- © PO RATION, -and I invite every ft eader of this paper and their Yf . friends to ioin me in this company. .© I know the business and above all ft things I GUARANTEE YOU A X SQUARE DEAL, the same that I V would expeaUfcpm you if I invest- © «d my money with you- On this X and under these conditions, I W will be glad to have you join me © and do it at once as this offer wiD ft not remain open but a short time, ft (Signed) W.

The Company The Great Southern Oil Corporation is incorporated under the stringent laws of the State of Texas, the capita! being $1,000,000, with shares of stock of a par value of $100 eachThe officers of the company are as follow: President — W. B. Young, oil operator of Houston, Texas. with many years actual experience in every branch of tbe business. Vice President — W. E. WSnghtsel, prominent attorney of Houston, with a varied experience in oil and land business. Secretary-Treasurer — J. G. Williams, an executive of recognized ability and thoroughly experienced in oil accounting. Over 7000 Rich Acres The holdings of the company consist of more than 7,000 acres of leases dn different sections of the State. Some are proven; others, semi-proven, and others as yet more or less prospective, but all in the trend of development. In the famous Mexia Section the company controls two leases Of 10 acres each, near the Big Dosenberg Gusher which sold for 1,100,000. The company proposes to driH on bne or both of these tracts as soon as possible- Altogether, the company has a total of 86 different tracts and it is quite possible that out of this large number of holdings we may be in the midst of the next big strike in Texas which would make quick cash dividends possible.

I i § ( Operations x j The policy of the company is to secure roy- ft t alty interests in wells drilling in proven terri- ft f tory FIRST. In fact we have already secured a ft o royalty interest in the B reck en ridge field from Vr u which we have paid THREE CASH DIVIDENDS. © a We plan to secure additional interest so that we ft may be in a position to pay regular dividends & j, and then we will rely on the sale. of (Stock for ft ^ money with which to drill on our own account- ft t For this reason we are now offering 50,000 shares ft c of stock at Par Value of $1-00 per share which Vf j, will probably be all that we will ever offer the ft j. general public for reasons which we have already ft t shown. ft ft £ t O f Price* and Terms g J You may secure stock in thk company by X s mther paying ALL CASH with application, or ft ' if you prefer, ydu can use the easy terms of C , payipent sending ONE FOURTH CASH with the ft application and then pay the balance in three ft ' equal monthly payments.

THE FERRY AND A «us LINE The Cape Mav-Lewes Ferry bill ^ was introduced last week by Senator _ William H. - Bright- This biH, which ^ ' is explained in another column, pro- ^ jvides that the ferry land at Cape ^ May Point or some o*her point nearby, and while last year's arguments were brought up. sufficient to kill the chances of getting the much needed ^ 'extension to the state highway sys- ^ tern, it is to be hoped that the „ "crape hangers" will look tbe eitaa- ^ tion over from every angle and from the broadest viewpoints possible this a . year before they start to kill the measure. It is true that there are no trolley a systems nor railway tracks laid to Cape May Point, it is equally true £ that there are none at Schdlenger's ^ Landing, nor at Sowell's Point, nor yet at Two Mile Beach, nor at any ^ point available on. the Ooki Spring haifcor. f The day of the extreme necessity p of trolley cars or. rail way trains pas- n sod when the gasoline car came into ^ its own- The Bright biH provides p that the ferry when put into opera- e tion must be able to carry both pas- 9 sengers and vehiclos. Many of the p people coming from the south will drive their own cars, perhaps most of £, them- For these people there is no { necessity for anything after they land 0 in Jersey excepting good roads from r the landing and into the resorts r , jvhere they elected to go. FV>r those who cross from the other * side 'of the Bay without vehicles f there will be scores of cars of all « lands and sizes from the lowly fliv- 1 ver to the pretentious auto bus as 1 large and comfortable as a trolley i car. These cars will carry the pas- « sengers to the railway station or any s

point very quickly. I The operation of the ferry will i have another good effect upon the re- 1 softs along the Jersey coast Boards < of Trade, Chambers of Commerce and municipal authorities will not hesitate to advertise in this new field so opened, "and this advertising will draw the visitors and home builders 1 territories nevar before ap- > proached- ^ • . 1 Cape May county has been a "dead j end" long encugh. It has been the ^ appendix of the State and after com- ^ ing down into the peninsula of Cape May county .there was only one way to get out, and that by doubling ^ back ami returning the same way one ^ came- With the advent of the ferry ^ visitors coming down from points j north will have the opportunity of crossing into Delaware and returning, when their visit is over, through Delaware and Pennsylvania. Jerseymen will also find it much t easier to reach the Capitol and the , cities of the nearby south by crossing , the bay instead of making the loop j the way of Philadelphia. Bus Line Imperative i Should this new ferry bill become t a law it. will be absolutely necessary i the allied resorts, if they are to 1 the greatest benefit, to .secure ( for Cape May County one of two t things — A fast line electric railway t Cape May to Ocean City, t a reliable company operating big 1: up-to-the-minute automobile busses on c frequent and sure schedule. c The electric line may come later * for this year it is impossible. bus line -is now under consideration of that active guardian of the county, the Cape May County Chamof Commerce. • A committee of that body ds now conferring with the trade organizations of all the resorts and of the countryside, and the ofof the municipalities in an effort to hit upon a feasible business like plan to establish a bus line that shall be operated by practical busimen who have the confidence of the people af the entire county, "and who will be able to formulate plans of operation that will make a bus as practical and sure as an electric linePromoters from up state and out of the state are planning to ran throughout Cape May county because they have found that it is a paying business. These promoters have no sympathy with the advancement of Cape May county other than reaping the benefits for themselves and with the close of the active sumseason cannot be expected to ' continue to run their cans- What the ; business men and business organizai tions of the county now wish to work out is a business by reliable county j people who can see the utility of making money for themselves and business for their home districts- No outsider can be expected to look at a bus line in that light, hence he is less desirable. Were it impossible to secure business men of the county for j this project then it might be a sensithing to do to invite the promotin from the outside to bride the emergency. Such en emergency, bowever, does not exist.

ENDORSE HA Y8 The regular monthly <* * . board of directors of Eeqffc 1 Theatres," Inc., -was held at 1220 Y|(». street, Philadelphia, January -J which time the following grtkw w read, and received their imaiiiWiwih approval: Hays and tbe Movies .

C-, and reported soon to resign) twfli save for them 10 fads $160,000 salary. One great trouble in the film business is duplication in sales. There ip the United States and Canada Perhaps 500 big, financially responsible ahain moving picture theatre synbut there are 12,000 shssftii r individual theatres wMch the bulk of lite bum nam. There smaier theatres, in order to get the - films from the various flta producing companies, contract annually for far more pictures than can use- They pay for only the pictures they use and the big producare helpless to collect for unshown pictures without law suite and perhaps closing up tbe snail theatre. The loss to the big film producers 1921 on utrSicrwn pictures ran 15 per cent- to 80 per cent- of contracted. With an annual business running over $100,000,000, this Would mean a loss of over $16,600,000The big producers in agreement with Hays propose a definite system for exchange of information, the first possible in the industry. THERE WILL BE A REAL ORGANIZAto eliminate enormous waste involved in heavy duplication of sales. Hays will be in a position to enormous sums of money and at the same time carry out fads desires the way of higher standards, and general uplift, in the method of film distribution. HUNT BUYS PITMAN MOVIE THEATRE — The Hunt's Theatres, Inc., have purchased the Park Theatre, at PitN. J., and are to take possession January 30- This latest addition their chain of theatres is a modem brick structure with approximately seating capacity. It w-as owned and operated by Mt. S- P.

Reeves, their architect, is receiving beds for the construction of their new Plaza Theatre. A contract will be let in the very near future. is now on the ground and Claythorne and Nickerson, who have , the piling contract, have promised that they will begin the placing of the piling this week.
