RESULTS OF CLEAN LIVING

AS a result Of clean living which
put him in the pink of condition,
Allen Roberts, W. S. c., '22, is
a phenomenal recovery
from an Automobile accident in
which he suffered fracture Of the
skull, both jaws, and double frac-
tme between the collar bone and
breast bone, He was two hours
and a half on the operating table
without anaesthetic and was not
expected to live. But participat-
ing in college athletics had kept
him in such good condition that in
20 days he was free of all splints
and bandages and able to take a
two-hour auto ride with friends
and talk to them. He expects to
assume his duties as physical di-
rector at the ColfaX high school at
an early date.

Analysis Made Of
Kelvin Sunburst Oil

The bureau of mines analysis Of
two samples of crude oil collected by
its field force from the Kevin-Sun-
burst field, Toole county, Montana,
just completed, are of interest. One
of these was taken on the lease Of the
Sunburst Oil and Gas company at
Shelby and the other on the Gordon
Campbell lease at Kelvin. The produc-
ton in the Sunburst well is found at
a depth of approximately 1850 feet
while that in the Campbell well is
found at about Ito feet. Preliminary
subsurface work by bureau of mines
engineers has indicated that the oil
from the Campbell well comes from a
sand about 200 feet deeper, strait
graphically, than that from the Sun
burst well. This, doubtless, explains
the difference in the gravity of the

About 80 Counties
Will Show AT Fair

By the middle of August twenty
eight Montana counties had taken
action to provide for an agricultural
exhibit at the Montana State Fair at
Helena, September $3.50, under the
new plan of grouping exhibits in eff
feet this year. The state fair manage
ment expects to have 35 counties in
line this year, as compared with II
counties in 1921 and an average of Is
counties showing for the past five
years. Under the plan that is tried
out this year for the first time in
Montana, the farm products are all
grouped according to variety and
class rather than according to coun-
ties, and the state fair pays the ex-
pense Of arrangement and display,
thus relieving the counties of that
burden. The first 20 counties to take
action for a show at Helena this year
were Blaine, Carter, Cascade, Custer,
Daniels, Fallon, Fergus, Gallatin, Col
den Valley, Jefferson, Judith Basin,
Lewis & Clark, Lincoln, Madison, Nc
Cone, Musselshell, Park, Phillips,
Pondera, Powder River, Ravalli, Rich
land, Sanders, Silver Bow, Saltwater,
Valley, Wibaux and Yellowstone.

Veteran HOrseman
On State Fair Job

Few men have a wider acquaintance
among horsemen of the northwest,
and none is better respected by them,
than Major James F. Keown of Liv-
ingston, member of the executive
board of the Montana state fair who
will have entire charge of the track
program at Helena, September $3.50.
Major Keown is special agent for the
Northern Pacific railway company,
but he is equally known as a race
track starter of fairness and expert
ence, and for years he has been in
charge of the track events at the
Midland Empire fair at Billings. This
years program of the Montana State
fair is almost wholly made up Of
competitive track events in whose
participants Montana citizens have
real personal interest.

FOREIGN INTEREST
MONEY FOR BONUS
Income From Foreign Debts
Voted as Finance Plan BY
Upper Branch

Washington, Aug. 29.-Without {
record vote the senate Tuesday ap.
proved the use of the interest on the
foreign debt in financing the soldiers
bonus. Also it substituted the Smith
McNary $350,000,000 reclamation bill
for the land settlement option in the
house measure. Then it quit for the
day with a final vote on the bonus
measure at least one and perhaps two
or three days distant.
The amendment authorizing the
payment of the bonus charge with the
interest on the eleven billions of dol
lars owed to the United States by al
lied nations was proposed by Senator
Simmons, democrat, Of North Caro-
lima. He and Senator Reed, democrat,
of Missouri, and other members urged
it as a means, not only Of meeting
President Harding's requirement that
the bill carry a means of financing,
but also Of silencing the talk about
cancellation of the foreign debt.
A roll call on the proposal was de-
manded at first but this demand was
withdrawn, presumably because of the
apprehension Of leaders that a quorum
could not be obtained at the then late
hour. A division was had instead, SO
senator's s~ignifying their approval of
the amendment and one senator, New
of Indiana, his disapproval.
The Smita-McNary reclamation
amendment was agreed to be a vote
of 43 to rs. Party lines disappeared
on the roll call, 23 republicans and 20.
democrats supporting the amendment
and 10 republicans and eight demo-
Gratis opposing. All Of the senators
from the far western states voted for
the proposal and all Of those from the
New England states voted against it.

to do so than any one else. He feels,
it was said, that by taking up the
fight he is doing every other manu-
facturer as we'll as working men
throughout the country a real service.
Mr.. Ford denies there is a coal
shortage. The Investigations of his
representatives have convinced him, it
was said, that coal brokers of the
country have an enormous supply Of
coal on hand. The, Ford Motor COM
pany could obtain enough coal to
cover a tract 10 acres square if it
would submit to being victimized by
profiteers, it was declared.
For several weeks, it was asserted,
the Ford offices at Dearborn have
been flooded with offers of coal with
deliveries guaranteed. 1t was declared
that the prices asked ranged from 100
to 300 per cent above the normal cost.
The Detroit manufacturer believes
that if he yields to what he terms the
"holdup" of the coal brokers, every
other manufacturer will follow suit
and that coal prices will reach an I'M
precedented figure. One source close
to Mr.. Ford said the manufacturer
chad at the back of his mind a pic
ture Of working men being unable to
buy enough coal to keep their families
warm because of prices that eventual
ly would be asked "~unless this profit
eering was nipped in its inception"
The Ford company recently refused
a large number of offers on The part
of coal operators TO sell mines. None
of these offers have been seriously
considered, however, because Of thel
present transportation conditions. It
explained by persons, close to Mr..
Ford Monday that the offering Of the
mines meant little as they can be pur-
chased now for almost nothing, be-
cause of the large stocks Of coal held
by brokers'"
The manufacturer still believes the
of Louisville & Nashville and
the Detroit, Toledo & Ironton rail
the latter his WI property,
would solve not only the Ford COM
pany problems but those of every
other coal user in the Lakes region.

the grades in the city. For every one
child an allowance of $500 will be
made, for two children in the same
family, $500 and for three $4,000
will be allowed.
Considerable stress will be laid on

Raid Reds in Chicago;
Eleven Men Arrested

Chicago, Aug. 26.-Eleven ALLEGED
radicals attending the convention Of
the Trades Union Educational league
which opened today, were taken into
custody by federal agents and the
police in a raid on the hall in which
the sessions We're being held tonight
Among those seized were two mer
who were said to be wanted by the
Berrien county, Michigan, authorities
in connection with a convention of al
legged radicals held there recently.
The nine others will be held for lie
portation as undesirables.
When William z. Foster, head of
the league and chairman OF the meet
ing, announced adjournment for the
day, government agents went from
row to row picking those they wanted.
The other delegates were allowed to
go. A crowd which gathered during
the proceedings jeered the delegates
as they left the building.
Amalgamation of all labor organi-
cations was declared to be the princi-
pal object of the Trades Union Edu-
cational league as outlined by Foster
before the meeting. He plainly de-
clared that the membership was com
posed of syndicalists, anarchists, COM
munists and other radicals.
About 125 persons, including a
dozen women, attended the session of
the convention. No attempt at secrecy
made. The delegates were said
to come principally from the north
central states, although some came
from the Pacific coast.
Foster, in outlining the purposes of
the league, declared that it was form
ed to supplant the Industrial Workers
of the World, which he said had
produced a dual ~unionist movement,
with the I. w. w. separate and dis
from organized labor. The
Union Educational league,
said, was intended to work
tn: labor unions for the event
ual amalgamation for all.

State Fair Builds
Half-MiIe Circuit

With the exception of automobile
races, all track events at the Montana
State Fair at Helena, September $3.50
will be pulled off on the new half mile
track which has been built this sum
mer. With the return of harness races
to Helena, and the addition of all
state relays to the program, steps
were taken to arrange for their APP
pearance on the shorter circuit which
keeps riders and drivers and mounts
close up under the view of the stands.
The half mile track merges on the
home stretch with the old mile track
which has been in use for so many
years in Helena.

mile from the first Sunburst producer
and the results of the bailing were
said by the oil men to be encouraging
to expectations that it will be bigger
than the other wells in this pool.
The developments of the last few
days have advanced acreage prices III
all parts of the field greatly, that in
the southern areas probably being the
first to feel the upward trend, it is
reported.
