fore. If the committee finds there
are too many entrants they will
make arrangements for building a
temporary addition to the church.
8 You will have your choice of en-
tering your baby in one of three
classes-boy babies, girl babies,
or twins. The committee will
make a fourth class for triplets
if deemed advisable.
8 The big idea of the show is to as
certain the most popular baby in
each class. In order to make this
discovery the babies will be voted
upon. Ballots will be distributed
at the show for 10c each. You can
vote as many times as your pock-
etbOok will lallow. Bring all your
friends along to vote for your
baby.
0 The baby in each class receiving
the most votes will be proclaimed
the most popular and it will re-
ceive a handsome prize. These
prizes are on exhibition in the
window of Evans Jewelry Store.
When your baby wins prize you
will buy $50 worth of fireworks.
1 In the event of a tie the matter
will be referred to the league of
nations for arbitration.
2 We ask you not to cast over so
votes on your own baby as this
might show Partially, causing the
rest of the babies to raise an OBJ
lection.
3 The price of admission has been
set at only 10c so that it will not
break anyone to bring the whole

Chamber Holds
Good Session

! At a meeting Of the Chamber
of Commerce of Kevin, Tuesday
.evening, j. S. Gordon was elect
ed president to fill the chair made
vacant by the resignation of L.
R. Olsen who expects to make
his home at Coutts.
! Many subjects were discussed
for the betterment of the town,
among them being a Community
hall. 1t was decided at this time
to appoint committee to solicit
funds for this undertaking, and
| if the proper funds can be raised
the hall Viii be under way rs
soon as possible. 1t was also de
cided to ask the Kevin Civic Club
to cooperate with the Chamber
in raising funds for the hall.
Another subject Of vital i'm
portance to Kevin was discussed
in the way of electric power for
the city, and a committee was
appointed to confer with Mr..
Gray, manager Of the Kevtana
Refinery, to see if it would be
possible to place dynamo and
furnish the town with this need
ed necessity.
r. C. Lehman, one of the pio-
neers of Kevin was present, and
admitted his name to member
ship. Mr.. Lehman gave splen-
did talk touching on the subject
of the progress made by the club
and the many things it had ac-
complished. His talk was from
the point and enjoyed by all.
After the usual amount Of bus
mess was disposed of the meet
ing adjourned to meet again on.l

Less Time for Agitators
More diversified farming may mean
less automobile riding 1t ought to.
Our economic problems cannot be
solved unless we are willing to work.
The one-crop farmer is not performing
his share of work. He needs profit
able employment throughout the year
Loafng on the farm ought to be made
unpopular. Business men work
throughout the year. Why shouldn't
the farmer? If he did, there would
be less time to listen to the agitator
The latter only increases discomfort,
makes men less capable and prolongs
the time of recovery. The farmer
must work his way out and not look
in vain for the Government to legis
late high prices.
But if we get our farmers to work
ing full time will we not have
over-production? This over-production
cry blinds US to the real issue. There
may be times when certain crops, be
cause of climatic or economic cOndl-
tions, are Improbable and yet there
are other crops that are profitable IN
we'll worked out system of diversifi
cation In t. livestock sections we
seldom hear Of an oyer-prodution OF
alfalfa or clover. In all sections Of
the country we are importing either
food or feed that we ought to be rails
ing at home Our cropping systems
need to be readjusted to meet present
needs. We need to do just little
more constructive thinking.

The oil struck was in stray
sand above the Sunburst being

a thin one, and was separated
from the Sunburst by a shelf of
hard white conglomerate. This
was drilled through by Contract
or Joe Becker, and the Sunburst
sand struck with the result of a
tremendous flow of gas, which
necessitated the immediate SHUT

forerunner of good production,

City Bankers and Country Conditions
Bankers, If anybody, are affected
more quickly and more directly than
other business men. A period Of agri-
cultural depression is Immediately no
ticeable in the balances that the coun-
try bank carries with it's city cor
respondent. City banks are beginning
to recognize this. Many of them are
taking an active interest in the Bank
er-Farmer movement.
There are some fundamentals in
farming with which all business men
should be familiar. A bank would
not long succeed if it should continue
to use it's capital stock for running ex-
penses. Neither will the farm. Farm
ers have been living not upon the
interest from their investments but
upon their principal. Almost every
effort by American farmers has re-
suited in decreasing the fertility of
the soil The banker who drives into
the country and observes this process
Of mining the fertility from the land
should feel that to that extent the
resources of his bank are being
sapped.
Yet some of our bankers are con-
tinuing to loan money to the one-crop
farmer When such a far.3er caa.es
around for loan the banker should
make the loan on the condition that
he keep at least one COW, one SOW and
couple of dozen hens, at least
enough livestock to feed his own fam
lily Agriculture is sick, production is
unbalanced. Farmers are paying

arguments placed before them,
that they had better ride to Shei-

yields are reported to be several
sacks Of beer, some whiskey and
gin.
All the fixtures and back bars
were confscated and four truck
loads Of this property was moy-

in county warehouse there.
Mr.. Shower when arraigned
before Justice of Peace E. G.

and was granted until November

appearance. A. Schudar made
the same request and his time
for pleading was fixed for the

Wagner Returns
From Montana
Superintendent Of Pct-X Re-
turns After Successful
Drilling Campaign

Following the completion of a
most successful drilling program,
A. H. Wagner. General Superin-
tendent of Western Petroleum
Exploration, returned east on
October 17th and will resume
charge of the operations of Pet
Elk at Lecco, Kentucky. Mr..
Wagner left for Montana on Apr.
1st and Immediately set out to
drill test wells on the acreage
held by Western Pet Elk in the
Kevin field. That he was success
full is indicated by the fact that
in the comparatively short time
he was in charge of operations.
a total Of twelve wells were drill
ed, ten of which were CONNER
cial producers and two dry holes.
In the last four wells completed,
Mr.. Wagner established a record
for drilling time that has not
been equalled in the entire state.
Mr.. Wagner states that condi-
tions in the oil business in the
western states are far from satis-
factory. This is largely brought
about by the low price of Mon
tana crude which is only selling
at 70 cents in the Kelvin field. 1t
is high grade oil and compares
favorably with that produced in
Kentucky. All available pipe line
and tank storage has been filled
and pipe line companies are re-
fusing to accept any more oil.
The situation has resulted in a
general movement on the part Of
the operators until next March.
Superintendent Wagner is OPP
timistic regarding the holdings
of Western Pet Elk and states
that the wells drilled have practi-
cally proven up most all of the
leases held in that
field. Western Pet Ex already
has a fair sized production which,
with satisfactory advance in
the price of oil and further de-
of its acreage, should
result in very good property
for the company.
On September 28th Western
Pet Elk drilled No. 2 on the w.
H. SWears lease to the Sunburst
sand and obtained about Is bar
rels of crude but continued down
10 the Ellis sand and when at
1856 feet well estimated around
fifty or sixty barrels was drilled
n on October End. w. H. Swears
No. 3 was dry in both the Sum
ourst and Ellis sands and the
1ole plugged. The completion of
he two Swears wells concludes
he drilling operations for the
this year and only suffi-
.ient men to look after the pre-
ent production will be retained.
All the larger companies opsrat-
ng in the Kevin field are reduc-
ng their forces to the minimum
nd are planning to pump their
vells for the winter only suffi-
lent to protecathem from water.

the omission was due to ignor-
