For Probate Judge
H. Il. Sheppard
A WET" OR DRY?

The statement Of Reginald d.
Brewster, Republican candidate
for u. S. Senator as to his attl-
tude on prohibition is about the
most cowardly and disgusting
piece of straddling on record
Accusing hi opponent Senator
Reed of not making clear his
stand upon the issue Brewster
proceeded to make a statement
couched in vague generalities
which is meaningless so far as it
defines his attitude upon the
liquor question.
Brewster's statement is simply
q studied attempt to hold both
the dry vote in the country and
at the same time it is so worded
as to assure the vets in the cities
that they may expect a greater
measure of relief from him than
from his opponent.
Even the Globe-DemOcrat,
which is bitterly opposing Sena-
tor Reed admits editorially that
sin cold fact, there is no,material
difference between his Reed 81
position and that of Mr.. Brews-
ter" on the wet and dry issue.
Knowing that the wet vote OF
the cities is absolutely necessary
to his election, Mr.. Brewster
seems to have gone in to carry
that vote, and has so adroitly
worded his statement that it may
be read to be either wet by the
vets or dry by the drys.
Having forced the issue he
lacks the courage to face it
squarely and declare himself
either q wet or dry, but wobbles
about and attempts to curry
favor with both ides.

The levy for the hospital as
stated above is to be five cents
on the one hundred dollars valu-
alton per year for twenty years.
1t Is thought that eight years of
such taxation will entirely pay

The Hospital is to be operated
by the county and not to make

care. Patients will be charged

The Republican Tariff and the
Farmer.

GerdeH Hull, chairman of the
National Democratic committee
analyses the tariff bill signed by
President Harding last week as
follows:
Agricultural products have
borne the brunt Of the reductions
IN the tariff bill. The excessive
duties on manufactures, notably
WOODEN and cotton fabrics. will
compel the farmer to pay as high
a price for clothing as anyone
else, and at the same time he
will lose the protection he was
promised on his products.
The producer Of raw materials
is compelled to shoulder all the
cost of this Republican pretense.
while the manufacturer gets ali
that he demanded.
The rate on sugar was cut
from 1.84, the rate fixed in the
senate. to 1.76 cents. The sugar
growers have been deprived of
the protection without which SEN
ators said the industry could not
survive.
Western livestock interests
have been deprived of protection
on hides.
1t is the old story of Repubi-
can attempts to make the farmer
satisfied with the husk, while the
heart goes to the trusts and mon
opolies.
As the farmers Of the United
States buy half Of the products
consumed. they will pay half Of
the enormous tax which the
Fordney-M Met umber bill imposes
on-th American people for the
enrichment Of the profiteers for
whom Il VA Originally intended.

money does not imply the neces-
sity of buying flimsy, quick-to-
wear-out materials merely be-
cause they cost little. The wise,
far-sighted policy is always to
buy only dependable, reputable
goods-materials of known re-
liability which will give satisfac-
tory length of service. It is such
merchandise we have taken spe-
cial care to secure and to offer
for sale-at unusually low mar
gins of profit.

Fashions that have been rumors for
months are now realities. The length
ened skirt, of course, but how circular
it has become! The side panels are
new; those becoming draped effects
are decidedly ultra. Their vogue is
assured. Sleeves are captivating in
their caprice,-sometimes snug fitting,
again wide and flowing.
Fabrics are fascinating Moonglo,
Matelasse, Satin Canton, Duv-al and
Poiret.
Colors are rather subdued Black
and navy, and brown in a bewildering
number Of new fall shades such as Gin

and metal cloth are used sparingly
with brilliant effect.
Attractive dresses are to be had at
$500. Other Dresses, $40 to $4,000.

USUAL APRIL SHORTAGE
SENDS BUTTER PRICES
HIGHER DURING WEEK

CHICAGO, April 15.-An acute
shortage of butter, characteristic Of
the month of April, developed during
the week ending today and sent prices
to high levels, according to the weekly
review Of the United States bureau Of
markets. Buyers who had held or as
long as possible in anticipation of
lower markets began anticipating their
want as the week advanced and SUP
plies became lighter. Those who did
not soon found 1t almost impossible
to fill their order even at rapidly ad-
vancing prices. BY Thursday. the
price of 80 score had advanced from
IL to 81 cents and 1t was not until
coward the close. when the markets
became easier. that there were indi-
cations of a more balanced supply and
demand
Recent heavy rains and generally
bad weather had cnused a delay in re-
ceipts and also has resulted In a poor
err quality.
Despite supplies on an the markets
there was no real confidence among
the operators. Every ono realized that
1t would take but a small increase in
the supplies or a small decrease in the
demand to cause a break As a result
hen the available supply at New
York late Thursday became only
slightly larger there was an immedi-
ate weakening Of the market which re
suited in a decline Friday. Other mar
kots. through sympathy, Immediately
began to weaken and at the close there
were indications that the short con
dition would o o get relief.

HELENA. Mont. April 15.-onfy
few persons are aware Of the fact
that a resident of Helena and t.yo
Great Falls men drilled the tirst oil

of Helena and John Jardine and
George Calvert of Great Falls. be
came imbued with the idea hat oil
could DO found In commercial guam
titles on one shore of Many Glacier

great scenic interest," in Glacier park.
Hauling the materials to the location
Of the proposed well was n largo un-
de~rtaldng. and freighting the mater
tals from Brewing with n string of 20
horses required several weeks time
When tho derrick had finally been
erected and the rig set in place. op-
erations started. At a depth of ap-
proximatesy $500 feet small quantities
of oil were found Tho drfIIcrs de-
cided to shoot the hole. which they
did. The next day all traces of oil
mad disappeared. From the beginning
of the operations upon the first oil
well In Montana to the time Of its
abandonment two years were consum:
ed. For q large portion OF this period
llru anu Bdiut cDu6Illutto Inc met OF
the driIlers, due to the difficulty of OBJ
tanning supplies.
Threats to discontinue exploration
work and tie up valuable acreage in
endless litigation are contained in a
statement Of Gordon Campbell OF
Great Falls. Mont. in referring TO a
reported movement among ~landholders
on h Sweetgrass Arch structure in
northern Montana to cancel leases
granted to oil companies on a royalty
basis. The land affected IS in close
proximity TO the well in which oil was
struck by the Gordon Campbell-Kevln
syndicate.
Leases are in lively demand
throughout that region for while the
pioneer wen has developed no large
production. tho fact that the sand is
saturated to the extent that 1t will I'LL
a hole Is accepted as IN indication
that larger wells win be uncorked with
further drilling. The town of Shelby
Is in the center of this activity.
Tip O-Neill and ]. B. Catlett have
taken a lease on tho r. d. Mckenzie
permit about hair a mile from the dis
covery well and must start drilling
within 90 days.
Two miles north Of the discovery
well the Black Magic on company of
Great Falls win drill and Is now NOV
ing a rig to the field.
The Big West oil company has a
rig unloaded at Kelvin to be trans
ported to section 6-341. II miles south
east of the pioneer test. The company
has some 5000 acres under lease.
Others investigating the field and it's
possibilities are biologists for the
Standard Oil company of California,
which is now operating in Montana
fields.
