THURSDAY EVENING, HARRJBBURG TELEGRAPH MARCH 2, 1916. CATTLE TESTS ARE INVALUABLE NOW Reports Show the Extent to Which They Arc Carried Out in the State Some rather remarkable results re garding the testing of cattle for tuber- 1 culosis under the auspiceß of the State j Livestock Sanitary Board's work are! announced the new State Department of Agriculture's bulletin and it is de clared that it is now regarded as a valuable "safety first" move on the | part of the cattle owner. During the past twenty years there were 108.-42 dairy cattle tested for tuberculosis in Pennsylvania and put ■ of this number 23,835 cattle were found to be affected and destroyed, ac- | [cording to the records of the State 1 Livestock Sanitary Board. In 1915. out of 13,117 cattle tested i only 6.7 per cent, reacted. When the| i work was started in 1896 the number |of reactors comprised approximately ; 22 per cent, of the total number of cattle tested and since that time there has been a decided decrease in the | : number of tuberculous cattle in the; i State. ] The Bulletin says: "It is estimated (that the annual loss in livestock on. account of tuberculosis in the United State is over $14,u00,000. Consider ing that the vast livestock industry , ! has a greater earning capacity an-I jnually than have all the railroads of our country this is a startling state-I I ment to consider, coming as it does j from an eminent New Jersey breeder ; of Guernsey cattle, E. T. Gill, who re- I cently read a paper before the Oerti j lied Milk Product Association at At-1 l£ntic City, on the value of the tuber culin test. Mr. Gill said that since j 1894 he has tested annually under the | supervision of Dr. C. J. Marshal, State j Veterinarian of the Department of j Agriculture, from fifty to one hundred j cattle and during that time no in jurious effects have resulted from the use of tuberculin. He has brought no ' animal into his herd without at least one test and that of over 1,500 ani mals tested on his farm only 7 re acted. Mr. Gill declared that the low percentage was due to the work being 'done carefully and honestly, proper sanitation and all new members of the herd being isolated and given one or two tests before they were admitted | with the rest of the herd, lie' said | that without the test he could not have j ■ continued so free from the disease. By I the use of the tuberculin test great animals have been protected and saved to perpetuate their blood, thus j raising the standard of stock breed ing. Mr. Gill further said that the use of the test is an economic safe guard to producers and consumers of | dairy products and any responsible breeder who neglects or ignores the | test overlooks this greatest dairy as- : set." Gen. Diaz, With 25,000 Men Said to Be Heading New Mexican Revolt Hk GEN. FELIX DIAZ According to dispatches from j Mexico, General Felix Diaz, nephew of the late President Portirio Diaz, is j attempting to start another revolu tion against the Carranza Government; using his native State, Oafxaca, as a base for operations. It is thought | that Diaz can muster 25,000 troops, ' j but they will be poorly equipped. | Makes Stubborn Coughs <| I Vanish in a Hurry | * Sarprliiiflr Good Cough Syrup ® ! | Eullr and Cheaply &ooo®oooooooooo®®oooooooS i If some one in your family has an ob stinate cough or a bad throat or chest ; sold that has been hanging on and refuses j to yiel .

Westfall, former steward of the Cumberland County Home, and heard many witnesses to ascertain the amounts of receipts and expenditures during 1915, the former official claiming to have no books and the only written records being partial ones in the hands of J. E. Shettle, erstwhile treasurer. No specific charges of guilt are made, the hearing being only, it is stated, to find out about the sums in volved. Special counsel has been re tained by the board In Joseph P. Mc- Keehan, of the Dickinson Law School, and E. M. Biddle represents the form* ! er steward.

To Drill 300 Oil Wells Fifty-two locations have been made during the past week, and actual work is under headway at fourteen of them. The Company desires soon to have the balance of forty drills in opera tion and keep them going until our production is over ten thousand bar rels per day. We have three refineries, over ten thousand acres of lands and leases In the real oil belt, and have the larger percentage of this big property con nected by our own pipe line, now in operation for over 165 miles. We al ready have over 120 oil and gas wells. While our properties have increased In value about 10 times during the past year, we are still letting the stock go on a very low basis, because we want the cash to drive the drills on our proven properties forthwith —-while oil is high and the demand Increasing— which may mean $3.00 crude by early summed An oil company can be man aged just as honestly as a bank or any other business institution. We need new capital to drill these new wells and to acquire new properties to be fortified for the future There is about one-sixth of the stock unissued. This stock is allotted among the present stockholders on a condi tional stock dividend basis and hun dreds of the stockholders are continu ally paying in new capital. The Com pany reserves the right to approve or reject any subscription to, or transfer of its stock. Try Telegraph Want Ads The Company is now owned by over J i seventeen thousand stockholders, rep- ' i resenting every congressional district, who would not consider a sale of our combined properties, including estab lished trade and good will, at less than 1 Twenty Million Dollars, or nearly : eight times ail the present stockhold- i ers have paid in. The large majority of our new wells i will be drilled in the high grade oil 1 district where oil is now selling at from 11.70 to $2.05 per barrel for the crude, and may soon advance to $3.00 per barrel. You can secure this stock now at less than Its book value, and after you are a stockholder, now increase your hold- Ings on a capitalization basis of one! million dollars. The ark I* non-u- NMIU(i We have one rich new property that is entirely surrounded by oil wells on which we will drill 27 to 30 wells dur ing the next four months. A 100-bar rel well is reported 135 feet west of this property and a 160-barrel well 200 feet north of it, with 35 feet of rich pay sand. On this property 4 well ara i started. At small cost can drill them in i 21 days. Also at work on 5 wells In | Cushlng district. We are starting three new wells on i our big lease In Pawnee County. A ; reported 35 million gas well spra-ing I oil was just drilled In the quarter sec tion on the northeast and a reported | fifteen million gas well on the section I south. This lease is nearly six and one-half miles long, and we have al- I ready developed the deep high grade j oil on this property. The next loca tion ma.v be a 2.000-barrel well, and j this oil is now worth over $2.00 per barrel. » We have several properties that by just a little good luck should produce more oil than all the stock when Is sued will total at the price offered yon. We are Just completing a good well near the center of a MOO-acre lease in the Rivnch Creek district of Pawnee County and will drill at once three to five new wells in that district. A ten milion gas well was drilled a few days ago right in between a good block of our leases In Rogers County —we promptly closed a contract to sell the gas at 3%c per thousand—mada seven locations and have already start ed drilling. In another ninety days our oil and gas sales should be nearly three thou sand dollars per day—while half that sum will pay good dividends on all the stock when issued. The Uncle Sam Oil Company la doing thinga —and 7 if you want a good block of real oil atoek In n company before the price la boomed fifty time*, net quickly —by writing for full particu lars at once. Send four cents in stamps —write your name and address very plainly and we will be "lad to send you by return mall complete Informa tion. Kindly remember that our drills go deeper every hour, and that while you can secure the stock now at the old price—conditions may occur any day that will cause an Rdvance of from 5 to 20 times. You should write for fall particulars forthwith. Respectfully submitted, THE UNCLE SAM OIL CO. BY H. H. TI'CKKR, JR.. Prea. (Address all letters to the Company) KANSAS CITY, KANSAS 3
