PARENT-TEACHER ASSO-
CIATION ORG AMI ED

The Vifoqua Parent Teachers As
ISOLATION was organized at the high
school building on January 25th. The
oshc q elected we're: President, Mrs.
o. +. Davis; Vice President. Mrs. f.
II. Williams; Secretary, Mrs, Clint
Nuzum.
Parents have long realized that send
ing children to school somewhat re-
sembled sending them to a foreign
foreign country. They have known
little of the conditions under which
their own children lived seven hours
out of each day. Il is for the sake Of
making an organized study Of school
conditions, of all the things which go
to make school life profitable a
pleasant for young people, and to
unite all citizens in an effort to train
these future voters in intelligent citi-
zenship that this association was or
ganized.
Good schools do not consist of fine
buildings, or even of strong teachers,
unless there is also the united spirit
Of the whole community in the work.
| For education concerns itself not
merely in the teaching of reading
writing and arithmetic, but also in
the building up Of intelligent, useful
citizens with a wholesome respect for
law and order, and with a moral
stamina that will enable them to earn
an honest living, and be of real value
to Viroqua.
These young people should have a
! pride in Viroqua and every one of
/ her Institutions They should look
forward, not TO the time when they
can leave Il, but to the time when they
can do their share in making it a big
ger and a better place in which 70
/ live. The policy Of the organization
is to improve the good conditions Of
the present into the better conditions
of the future
No topics viii be taken up except
those which pertain 70 better under
standing and Improvement Of COM
munity problems. The next meeting
win be held on Friday, February ~.
| The complete program will appear in
next weeks paper. The topic Is one
which concerns every citizen Of Niro-
qua, and each one should reserve that
/ date for the meeting only.
! Let 1t be borne in mind that this
I Association concerns every person in
/ Viroqua. Every citizen is invited and
expected to consider himself a men,

Helm the Starving

America has undertaken to fulfil a
moral obligation to the starving peo-
pie of Eastern Europe. This action
is receiving the official support of our
government both national and state.
Viroqua is interested and desires to do
its quota, for which arrangements are
now being made under the direction Of
one who knows the situation person
ally. Support for the Basket Social
and Dutch Market dates to be an
nounced next week, will prove your
humanitarian spirit. The cause is

in SW4SWA, section 22-35-2 W, is
reported to have increased slightly in
the amount of oil in the hole since it
was drilled in and now has more than
200 feet of oil. Immediately after
drilling into the Ellis sand at 1,430,
two feet into the sand, the oil ROSE in
the hole and a 60-foot cave followed
at once.
The we'll is generally regarded as a
good well. Cleaning out was started
Tuesday. but abandoned since no tank
age is prepared or any means of ham
ding the production.
The Ohio-Sunburst-Dave No. 4 was
shot Monday and the hole was being
cleaned out Tuesday. The Ohio-Sun-
burst Swayze No. . was being prepared
to be shot.

MAY LAY Line
into SHELBY
Falls Concern Asks Franchise
of City Council; Would
Pipe From Field.
Special to The Tribune.

Shelby, Oct. 17.-Petition for a
franchise for the supplying of Shelby
with electric light and power and gas
was presented before the last meeting
of the city council by the Great Falls
Gas company and will be referred to
the voters of the city at the Novem-
Der election.
The petition was presented by F. P.
Williams, head of the investment de-
partment of the William A. Baehr or
~ganization, which controls the Great
Falls Gas company. He was accompa-
MED by S. D. Fletcher, manager Of the
Great Falls Gas company. The COM
pany asked for a 40-year franchise and
promised to provide q modern steam
electric generating plant for the city,
capable of meeting all demands upon
it and with provisions for the growth
of the city. 1t would be "A hour ser
vice.
The gas franchise would be largely
in anticipation of the obtaining of nat
ural gas from the wells drilling IN the
field. The company would enter tfe
market for this gas and would pipe it
to the city from the wells. The pipe
lines would be laid on top of the ground
to cut down expense in handling.
n The request of the Great Falls Gas
company was looked upon with favor
by the council and the opinion was ex-
pressed that there is little doubt but
that the franchise would be granted
by the voters.
The present lighting facilities of the
city are dependent upon a small gaso-
line engine generator that operates Tor
only a part of the night, and some
times fails entirely.

Holland Says Poor
Equipment Will Win
Strike of Shopmen

Prediction that deteriorated equip
ment and scarcity of cars will win the
present strike for Great Northern
shopmen was made at a meeting of
union men Tuesday night By Mike Hol-
land. chairman of the strike commit
tee, following his return from ST:
Paul. Holland was sent to St Paul
to confed with officials of the feder-
ated shop crafts.
Holland stated that the shopmen are
staying out on strike at all points be
tween Great Falls and st. Paul. He
predicted that with the coming of cold
weather sharp flanges on locomotives
will cause the rails to split and that
accidents probably will result.
Two hundred strike breakers re-
Gently were sent from st. Paul to
Detroit. where they are wanted in the
seamen's strike, he stated. He said
that one of these men told him that a
fund of S15,OOO,O00 appropriated by
the railroads to conduct the strike
virtually is exhausted.

CAVE-INS HALT

WELL NEAR Line
Under-reaming in Progress at
1880; Baalim Well at
1900 Feet.
Special to The Tribune.

Speclal TO The Tribune. O.
Sweetgrass, Oct. 17.-The Mclean
well, which has reached the greatest
depth of any being drilled on the Cana
dian side of the border, and which is
to be watched by hundreds in this VI
cinity, is again understanding because
of several cave-ins. The well is now
down 1000 feet, while the Baaim well,
drilling a half mile north of the Nc
Lean well, has reached a depth of 1,SOO
feet.
The owners of the Baalim well are
taking advantage of the log of the Nc
Lean well with the result that they
are avoiding the cave-ins that have
proved a deterrent factor In the de-
velopment at the Mclean well. There
is considerable rivalry apparent as to
which of these companies will reach
production first. Biologists have fig
ured the producing sands at between
1900 and 2,400 feet.
The Imperial company. drilling In
1-16. eight miles west of Sweetgrass
and north of the Barney Castle dome,
may reach oil before the other COM
panies as the drillers report progress
at the rate of 100 feet a day. The well
is now down near 1.J0O feet. The
Imperial company possesses what is
considered the best drilling equipment
on the structure.
Passengers on the Sweet Grass train
Monday morning were informed by the
head driller at the Fowler well, which
resumed recently, hat the bit was now
down LOO feet with prospects con-
sidered favorable that oil would be en-
countered.
