STELLAR STRIKE ON
PORCUPINE DOME

Great Falls, July 9.-The strike in
the Porcupine Dome by the Stellar Oil
company has been the object of much
discussion among oil men of late. dur
ing which some doubt has been ex-
pressed.
The doubt results from the fact
that this was the fourth well drilled
by the Stellar OIL company. The
pay sand was encountered at a depth
of 1,45O feet and is said to Law about
$50 feet above the Dakota sand, be-
lieved to be oil bearing.
1t is explained that the reason the
other three wells have not been drill
ed into production is that the sand
has not been penetrated in the other
three, owing to a dispute over the
status of federal permits on the land
being drilled.
The sand encountered yielded a
flush production of so barrels, it is
stated, but the hole. will be carried
down to the Dakota sand. The Stel-
lar company has constructed Is der
ricks in the Porcupine field to vail
date leases and has sunk four wells.

THE SOLDIERS BONUS

The generally disconnected feeling of
the soldier, and his fear that the gov
eminent will not do what it should,
is justified by the treatment of the
wounded and disabled by the last adj
m~inistration. Instead of arranging to
take care of such when they We're re
turned from France. they were al
lowed to shift for themselves and in
most cases to suffer. The last ad-
miniStration was too busy taking care
of the affairs of Europe to attend to
the wounded soldiers. This is now
being done as rapidly Is possible
and it is to the lasting shame of the
country that it was not done sooner.
The task is now much greater than if
it had been attended to in time, but
the American Legion and the admins
tration are working together and
good results are already noticed.
But why undue excitement regard
ing the soldiers bonus? Let us note
that those who are stirring up the

the most part the Democratic news

ganda. There is hardly a man to be

BANKS BEARING BIG BURDENS

In trying to meet the demands of
readjustment of industries to the
peace basis and to meet the enormous
slump in values, the bankers have
had about the biggest load to carry
of any business.
The grain growers, the fruit pro-
ducers. the live stock men, have all
had to be financed more or less in
dividually and in some states plans
were worked out to market large
crops by collective methods.
On top of this banks have carried
a large share of the Liberty Loans
and helped float local bond issues,
build market roads and have been
forced more or less into handling in
vestment securities for customers.
Hundreds of city and country banks
are acting as agents or advisers to
customers who invest in bonds and
good stocks, and the failure of a large
investment brokerage firm at Portland
has emphasized this.

EDUCATION VS.. LEGISLATION

In all policies affecting business or
production it has been learned by sad
experience that education of the gen.
eral public produces better results
than enacting legislation to force
changes.
1t has been found that in matters
like banking, transportation, insur-
ance Legislation to compel results
when the general public and business
interests are not informed fully onlv
react.
Education of the general public to
prevent accidents and produce greater
safety in transportation, education to
prevent fires and to eliminate frauds
in collection of losses, reduces rates,
not legislation. V
A community that has high insur-
ance rates has itself to blame as a
rule, in not providing building regula-
tons to keep down fires locally and
backing them with fire fighting ap-
paratus to minimize conflagrations.
The excessive fire waste of the ma
ton is unnecessary and demonstrates
inefficiency in general education and
or the part of the people ii. their per-
sonal and individual habits.
Who says history does not repeat
itself? Hark back to days when the
new Mckinley administration was try
ing to bring order out of chaos in the
enactment of a tariff law, after years
of Democratic tariff for revenue
only" Democratic orators were then
making the same gloomy predictions
as they are now, with Mark Hanna
as the storm center, and the Demo-
cratic editors were yipping at the heels
Of the new administration attempting
to MAIN and embarass it. But then
the tariff law was passed, and ensued
an era of unprecedented prosperity.
History is now repeating and we are
on the eve of another era of pros
perity for American industries, under
the protection that is essential to
American capital and labor alike.

New York, June 1.-THE third
bout for the worlds heavyweight
championship under no decision
rules at a limited number OF
rounds will be under way when
Jack Dempsey and Georges Car
pentier square off in the Jersey
City ring, July 2. The only pre-
vious title contests held under
cimilar conditions, were the VIII
lard Moran 10 round battle at
New York, March Is, 1916, and
the Willard-Dempsey contest at
Toledo, Ohio, July 4, 1910 The
first bout went the liglit, Willard
gaining the popular verdict. Al
Toledo, Dempsey knocked out his
ponderous opponent in the third
round of the scheduled 12-round
bout.

heavyweight division is consider
ed to have begun when John L.
Sullivan knocked out Paddy Ryan

.ELETON Church SPLIT OVER
OUST|NG OF REV. MCELMOYLE
MANY PRESBYTERIAN MEMBERS
SAID TO STAND WITH PASTOR
General Assembly at WinOna Lake,
Ind, Backs Up New Castle Presby-
terry in Action Against ParsOn


terry in Action Against ParsOn
Members of the congregation of the
Elkton, Md, Presbyterian Church are
at odds over the removal of the Rev.
j. r. McElmoyle, "the marrying par
son." as pastor of the church. The
action, which threatens to split the
congregation, was taken at the Cen
eral Assembly at Winona Lake, Ind.
The Assembly adopted the permanent
judicial commissions report which de-
clared the Presbytery of New Castle
acted within its authority and within
the rules of government of the Church
in ordering Mr.. McElmoyle's removal.
Mr.. McElmoyle today denied the ru-
NOR part of the congregation will
withdraw to set up a new church and
| appoint his pastor. 81 have not given
any sanction to that report nor taken
any steps in that direction" he said.
until | receive notice from the Cen
eral Assembly l will take no steps to
refute the accusations" Mr.. McEl-
moyle is still officiating as pastor.
About 240 persons are members of
the church. At meeting almost two
years ago to determine wheather or
not Mr.. McElmoyle was to be retained,
SO members voted for him and only Is
cast ballots against him. The action
of the Assembly only removes Mr..
McElmoyle as pastor of the Elkton
Church, and does not interfere with
his standing as "a clergyman. He is
free to accept another call.
The fight to remove Mr.. McElmoyle
was started by the elders of the Elk
ton Church two years ago. They are
Henry M. Mccullough, an attorney,
DIR. William L. Morrison and w. Sterl-
ing Evans. At his home in Elkton
last week, DIR. Morrison said. 81 I'M
derstand that PASTORAL relations have
been dissolved and that Mr.. Noel
moyle will step out, dut how soon
cannot say. The case is no longer in
the hands of the elders as the whole
thing has been put up to the Presby.
terry. 1t is true Mr.. McElmoyle has
been officiating as pastor. l cannoI
say how soon he will end his services.
The fight against the marrying par
son" has not only split the congrega
tion,~ but in some cases families ar
said to have disagreed. During tn
height of the fight in Elkton, Noel
moyle declared he was attacked an
beaten on the street by two member
of the group opposing him. 1t wa
also declared that his uncle, Robel
Frazier, was waylaid and severel
beaten on the same day.
According to evidence, McElmoyl
in one year married 1,445 person
sometimes attaining a speed of fftee
in one day. The elders whose electio
was declared illegal by the Assembl
were DR.. H. A. Mitchell, Joshua Viii
worth, a hardware merchant, and
R. Gilpin, station agent. 1.-TWO yeal
ago." said DIR. Mitchell, "the congr'
cation decided upon a rotary plan f.
the term of Office of the elders. b
fore that each elder was supposed
retain his position for life."

GREAT DAMAGE BY HAIL STORM
Sweeps Down Eastern Shore of Mary
land With Great Loss


Last weeks storm that visited the
upper part of Kent county, Md, was
one of the severest hailstorms expert
enced in this county for years. The
damage will run into the thousands.
Window panes were broken out, auto
mobile sheds destroyed, tops of auto
mobile punctured, wheat peas and
potatoes and gardens laid perfectly
fiat. To just what extent the damage
extended it is almost an impossibility
to estimate.
The storm went across the bay,
striking Kent county northwest of
Kennedyville, and travelled in south
easterly direction, passing over Union
school house and Church Hill. 1t then
swung to the east, went toward Rob-
erts, following the State road through
to Ingleside. The southern side of
the storm extending through to Price,
Roe and Bridgetown. The storm
then went towards Ridgely and
through Denton, leaving in its wake
scenes of destruction. Wheat fields
were leveled, pea crops cut off and
hundreds of windows broken, poultry
killed and barns blown over.
In Church Hill hundreds of dollars
worth of window panes were broken
and in some houses not one was left
Those who were caught out in the
storm received painful bruises from
the hailstones, some of them being as
large as black walnuts. On some OF
the farms the storm destroyed half OF
the field and not touching the other
Mrs. Milton Hunter, returning from
school was very badly cut about the
head. In many instances the entire

Practically every automobile that
was out in the storm received some

Ing out gratis to everyone a special

Gradually the sentiment Of peace

the other guilds, and finally to have
become general.

xkM~ AREFUL, Brother, thy horns
VI Keep thy head straight. Re
member, tonight we share but
the one stall between US. The man
and his mate, there, have thine" The
little .tawny-hlded OK of Palestine on
the farther side leaned hard against
the stable wall.
"'Tls d strange star that shines to-
night" his yoke-fellow answered,
signing restlessly as he turned back
his gaze from the open door. Even
with care their horns clicked In the
narrow space. "If men must take
my bed, why did they not turn us out
into the free air? The grass would
have dew on it tonight-and / could
watch the star"
"How snorted the little gray ass
which had carried hither the woman
who lay stretched on the straw be-
tween them. "What grass wouldst
thou pluck from the cobblestones OF
the city,"
AYE" lowed the first OK. "There
is hay here; eat and be still. The
star is no concern Of thine" E,
"The star shineth on the whole
broad earth, Brother. He hath the
peaked hills 10 wander in, and the
dark valleys, the fields and the towns
alike. / wish I were free like the
star"
"Then, like him. thou wouldst come
slipping in at our stable door again.
Hey, come off thy knees! We must
sleep standing" his mate grunted
warningly.
Hush, Brother There is something
wondrous in my old stall Something
very small and white! 1t gleametb
as with hoarfrost in the stars light.
It hath the smell of lilies. II mOveth.
The star can stroke 1t with its long,
pale tongues" He leaned longingly
against the barrier which shut him
away, until it creaked.
The little ass slipped his soft ears
between his own bars and shifted in
quiringly. "Nvhy, It's n child" he
whinnied with delight. Children are
lovely things. His small fingers will
play with my name ond he will sing
little songs to me rs l bear him along.
Look up, little Master. We will see
great days together"
"There, that seryeth thee right J!
reproved the far OK as the woman
made quick motion toward the in
quisitiye nose. 'Thy black muzzle
helongeth in thine own manger, Broth
er ASS"
"She did but brush it aside. the
little gray beast breathed contentedly.
''She Is pleased that We know her son.
No fear, Brother Ok. Her husband
will not take his staff to us. She is
gentle, this woman Of mine. Her
child, too, will love u.s."
But the OK had not drawn back. He
knelt there, his broad forehead pressed
against the bars, his wondering eyes
fixed on the new life which was to
shine over the whole broad earth with
Il brighter glory than that wondering
star's.-John Breck, in the Detroit
News
