To The Seniors!

The other night as several of us
Freshies walked into the post Office,
we heard the postmaster say, ~ want
quiet from you youngsters, and Pm
going to have it." We looked around
to see who the youngsters" were and
behold! to our amazement, they were
none other than a crowd of so called
dignified Seniors who were making a
lot of noise talking about their highly
honored Society, the Delta Sigma.
If the Seniors want us to look up to
them, they will have to be more dig
nified than this. We do not look up to
youngsters; youngsters look up to us.

Much Timber Decay.

1t is estimated that eight billion
feet of untreated structural timbers
decay every year, says the American
Forestry Association of Washington.
If that whole amount were to be treat
ed we would actually save about four
billion feet of lumber every year. That
is to say, it would render unnecessary
the annual deforestation of some four
hundred thousand acres of land. There
could be no truer or more effective
forest conservation, and every home
builder who. by the use of preserva-
tives, lengthens the life of his house
or barn, performs an effective service
to the cause Of forestry.

Our PhilOkalean

I'm a green little freshie as everyone
knows,
I'm reminded of this wherever go,
But Pm Philokalean as you can plain
ly see,
And this makes up for everything else
to me.
You can tell Philokalean at merely
glance,
We never appear to be in trance,
We sit up and take notice the whole
day through,
We never doze off like some other
folks do.
One beautiful day not so very long ago
Miss Brown, our supervisor, visited
us you know,
She said to John Boiler, allow proud
you should be,
To be president of such fine society"
l know for fact what Pm saying is
true,
Don't think for a moment Pm trying
to bluff you,
If this doesn't sound right, just come
out some Friday,
When we have our weekly Literary
Society.
And perhaps if not now, some time bye
and bye,
I'm sure that you'll all feel just as do l,
That the Philokaleans can't be beat,
The very name suggests defeat.
I know that it's not nice to Srag,
And I'm not going to chew the rag,
But / wish that / could make you see
How dear my society is to me.

The Wiley Team

AUG VOiiVy leo"
Our volley team it is the stuff,
1t never puts up any bluff.
The other teams, this fact they know,
And that our team is the whole show.
When our girls play they play to win,
They don't give the others chance
to begin,
They all consider volley wonderful
game,
But some of them think it's entirely
too tame.
There's Dorothy and Katharine and
Evelyn Zentz,
They make Frederick feel just like two
cents,
And Elizabeth and Kathryn and Ethel

They wiped Brunswick from the map
entirely.

the air,
And last but not least is Ethel Favorite
Her playing gave Frederick terrific
fright.
We served such high balls to Middle
town,
That they never saw them till they
reached the ground.
Twas seldom that Middletown return
ed the ball,
And when they played us, twas their
downfall.
We decided that Emmitsburg we must
play,
So we invited them down one day,
The answer they sent was very forlorn
They were all busy a-husking corn.
Every time we asked them they had
some excuse,
For they realized that we can play
like the deuce.
Sometimes they were sick, though the
last time quite we'll,
But the coach was afraid they'd catch
cold. Well! Well!
They sent word they'd play no more
this year,
But they hadn't ghost of chance of
winning, that's clear,
So the Public Athletic League gave US
the game
And awarded us the championship,
cause we weren't to blame.
Let's give three cheers for our volley
team,
For we licked our opponents so COM
pletely it seems,
That now they are all feeling quite
bum,
A different way from when the season
begun.

Some Advantages of a Commercial
Course

The great question which arises a.
mong our pupils, especially those of
the Sophomore Glass, is which course
is the more beneficial, the Academic or
the Commercial We who are taking
the Commercial Course answer that
the Commercial is far better.
Let us think of few of the many
advantages it has over the Academic
Course In the first place, one never
knows when he is going to be called
upon to get out into the world and
make his own livelihood. If he has
completed a Commercial Course he
will be well able to do this.
Each subject given in the CONNER
cial Course has its own advantages.
Shorthand teaches one to think quick
ly, thus it trains the mind and the hand
to work together. 1t is of great as
sistance to our daily newspapers.
How would we be able to publish the
great sermons, inaugural addresses,
and great speeches without the aid of
shorthand? But with the use of this
it is comparatively easy. One can
take down utterances quickly which
he would not be able to get at all in
long hand This makes it's use in
courts of law very valuable.
Bookkeeping teaches neatness and
accuracy, and good bookkeeper is
always in demand.
Typewriting teaches accuracy and
speed. There are some people whose
penmanship is so poor that their let
tiers must be typed in order to be legi-
BILE. So many letters are written each
day that without the use of the type
writer many more people would have
to be employed to write them.
The Academic Course is all right for
one who wishes to become teacher or
take up profession, but in most cases
do these things pay best? No. In
most cases the rich men of this coun-
try are the business men, not the pro
fcssional men.
One who wishes to take up a pro-
fession must, after finishing High
School, go somewhere else for further
preparation. Look at the money that
must be spent before he can start
earning anything. The Commercial
student is ready to take up his work
as soon as he finishes High School,
When an Office is closed the bust
ness man and his employees are
through for the day while teachers
work is never done. A teacher very
often must correct papers in the even
ing; and doctor is liable to be called
upon any time during the night.
There is always great demand for
stenographers, bookkeepers and typ
lists. One in business life is thrown
with people of all vocations and is thus
fitted to meet many emergencies.
The Academic Course is all right for
one who expects to go to college or to
teach, but if he wishes to be of any use
in the business world he must have a
thorough understanding of these es-
sential subjects.
Does the Academic Course offer this
many advantages

SUMBURST OIL WELL PROVES
ENORMOUS PRODUCING AREA
lM THE SWEETGRASS ARCH

Hardly less important in its sig
~nificance than the strike of oil
made some weeks ago near Kelvin,
in Toole county, by the Gordon
Campbell-Kevin Syndicate was the
drilling in last week by the Sun
burst Oil 81 Gas Company of it's
well No. 1 in the Keyin-Sunburst
field ON section 81, township SO
north, range 2 west. The estimated
production after bailing tests is
800 barrels of oil a day, although
many oil men believe the well will
make better than that on settled
production. The new well lies six
miles east and two miles north of
the Gordon Campbel1-Kevin Syndi-
Gates well. Production in the Sun
burst well came six feet down in
the second sands of the Kootenai
at a depth of 1850 feet. Oil was
encountered after sixteen days of
actual drilling.
On the basis of the bailing test,
Dorsey Hager vice-president in
charge of operation for the COM
pany, said, the well shows 800 bar
rels a day on a most conservative
estimate, with prospects for a con-
siderably better showing with i'm
proved conditions. There is now
$50 feet of open hole, and at the
time bailing was stopped there was
40 feet of cave-in. The oil stood
$50 feet in the ~1,500-fOot hole
when baiIing was started, and at
the end of a five and one-quarter
hours run stood at 600 feet. The
well is drilled less than three feet
into the sands.
Further bailing operations we're
to run down s IA inch cas-
ng to the top rock, following which
he well will be drilled further into
he sand and a new bailing test run,
lager said that there is a good
nance that the we'll may flow after
he sand is drilled deeper.
Hager said that a test showed the
il to have a specific gravity of 35

Baume. 1t appears to have very lit
tie lubricating qualities and to be
higher in gasoline content than was
the oil in the Gordon Campbell-Keyin
Syndicate well No. 1, the discovery
well, which brought in production at
a lower horizon.
Many operators from Texas and
Oklahoma have arrived at Sunburst
since the well was drilled in.
Proves Big Acreage
Since the Sunburst is six miles
east and two miles north of the dis
covery well, it is generally regarded
as tending to prove two or more
townships, while many biologists of
note believe there is every likelihood
for the development of one of the
biggest oil fields in extent in the
world. This strike will result in the
drilling of every structure in the
S~weetgrass arch and promises enor
nous activity in oil development
work in Northern Montana for the
next twelve months.
An interesting development in
connection with the strike is the re-
port that the California company,
which has been active in the southern
part of the Kevin-Sunburst field, has
no holdings in the neighborhood of
the Sunburst we'll, or at least did not
at the time it was brought in.
The Mid-Northern, another Stand
ard Oil subsidiary, has been active,
it is reported, in the field north of
the Sunburst to the international
boundary.
The general tendency on the part
of holders of interests in the Kelvin
Sunburst field, either leases or roy
atty, seemed to be to hold off the
market. The greatest upturn in
values was, of course, in the property
Immediately surrounding the new
we'll, where prices are said to be sew
eral times that of a few days ago.
The effect was less apparent in other
parts of the field, the increase in
prices ranging in the neighborhood
of from 80 to As per cent over former
according to lease and royal
ty brokers.
The effect on other small struc-
within the Sweetgrass arch
to be an increase in interest
md in preparations for development. n

Farmers on dry land and irrigated
tracts of Cascade county are adding
greatly to the knowledge of the pos
sibilities of new types of forage and
grains, according to +. e. McSpad-
den, county agent. Seeds that have
brought large production in other
states are being tried III by Cascade
county growers on experimental plots
with good chance for success.
among the crop demonstrations
being conducted this year in the
county the Iodine clover experiment
is one of the new introductions which
may be me of greatest Importance"
says MacSpadden. "R. A. Bookings
of Simms has a small plantation of
this new clover, which is a very large
form of the common white clover so
abundant in bluegrass pastures and
lawns throughout the United States.
In every respect the Iodine clover is
similar to the ordinary white clover
except that in favorable locations it
grows 10 to 20 inches high and is two
to four times larger in all its parts.
The stems lie flat on the ground and
take root at the joints, but the leaves
arise on long leaf stalks and it is
these that are harvested.
Native of Italy
1.-THE plant is a native of northern
Italy, where it. has long been used
for pasture and hay in the rich river
valley adjacent to the city of Lodi,
from which it derives it's name. It
was introduced into the United States
by the department of agriculture in
1903 and has row been tried expert
mentally in nearly all parts Of the
country. In the majority of cases
it has made a very gratifying growth
and it appears likely that the plant
will prove a valuable pasture plant
in the localities to which it is adapt
ed.
Extended culture OF the crop has
been limited by the fact that it
seeds very sparlngly in the eastern
states and dependence has had to be
placed on high priced seed imported
from Italy. Recently, however, very
good crops of Iodine Grover seed
have been produced in Idaho and suf-
ficient seed for domestic use will
probably be available before long
at a reasonable price.
ga well managed Iodine clover
pasture will carry from 80 to 40 per
cent more stock than alfalfa, red
alsike clover or ordinary
white clover, and 80 per cent more
than blue grass. On irrigated land
in Idaho many pastures are carrying
equivalent of four head of ma
Lure stock per acre for six and one
half months. In irrigated sections,
