SEES FUTURE
IN MARMARTH
Resident Says People Are
Confident of Oil De-
velOpment

People of Marmarth arc confident
of great oil development in that re-
gion and they desire very much to
see the Mott branch of the Northern
Pacific extended to Marmarth,
James Cramer, former mayor of
Marmarth, who is visiting H. j.
Duemeland, said here today.
An oil company formed by Off
cials of the Northern Pacific Rail-
road Company has a great outfit 1S
miles southwest of Marmarth, and
the oil we'll now is down over 1000
feet. 1t is understood the we'll will
go 5000 feet if necessary. No fav-
ors were asked, Mr.. Cramer said,
the company simply moving expen-
sive equipment in and beginning
work. While the oil well derrick is
on Montana soil Marmarth people
have been informed by geologists
that the main part of the oil struc-
ture is in North Dakota.
A new road will be opened on
July 8, called the oil road. 1t leads
from Marmarth to the oil company's
scene of operations. Dedication was
to have been July 1 but was post
poned because the company stopped
drilling to let cement casing harden.

BANKERSPLAN
BIG PROGRAM
OF EDUCATION
F. N. Sheppard Explains Plan
Launched by American
Bankers Association
CITES RESPONSIBILITY
Theory Is That Our Govern
ment, Whatever Faults, Is
The Best System

Bankers of the nation, through
the American Bankers Association,
are answering attacks made upon
them and our form of government
through a campaign of education,
Fred N. Sheppard of New York, ex-
ecutive manager of the American
Bankers Association, told the mem
Bankers Association in session here
today.
The banker has two-fold re-
sponsibility, he said: G to create
a sound and intelligent opinion on
banking and allied subjects among
his own people; and (2) to the ex-
tent Of his ability to develop the
same thing in the minds of the gen.
eral public.
"The American Bankers Associa-
tion has undertaken activity in the
matter Of public education" said
Mr.. Sheppard. II refer to it's effort
to create an intelligent public opin-
ion through lectures in the schools
on Banking and Elementary Econo-
mics. This work, done through the
instrumentality of the Committee
on Public Education is, like the In
stitute, undergoing a process of evo-
luton. There have been prepared
on the various phases of banking
| nine lectures-one for each month
in the school year. These lectures
are couched in simple terms which
pupils in the grades and high
schools can easily understand. Vir-
tually 100000 of these lectures have
been delivered by the banker near
est the school during the current
school year"
The lectures, he said, include ex-
planation of the evolution of the
banking system, bank checks and on
foreign trade. Simplest illustra.
tions are used. Mr.. Sheppard told
the bankers that by way of illustra.
ting the vast influence of one com.
mercial activity upon another the
sale of player pianos was used.
Eskimo Pie Example
ut was explained that the coun
try which PRODUCES most of the CO
| Goa which forms the covering of Es
kimo Pie is Ecuador" he said. "Nov
Ecuador was in the dumps CONNER
cially because they had an over
| production of cocoa when an ingen
ious man conceived the idea of coat
| ing with chocolate or cocoa a small
slab Of ice cream. This delicacy be
came favorite with children il
America. They demanded it to sucl
great extent that the importation O
cocoa from Ecuador. was stimulated
and the cocoa producers became 81
| prosperous that Edcuador sent il
to us large orders for Playe,
| Pianos"
Other agencies, including maya
zines and newspapers, are being US
ed in the educational program, h
said, to explain that, with all it
faults, the so-called capitalistic sys
tenn is the best method yet devise'
for carrying on the business Of tn
world, and compared to which SO
cialism and communism have bee
weighed in the balance and foun'
wanting" @
| Successful operation Of our gov
ernment, he said, implied genera
