1T asserts the retail prices, as
made, are far below the cost o1
production and distribution.
"The governor of the state OF
is. Dakota, buying distress gaso-
line below the cost Of production,
and charging against the state
no adequate cost for distribution,
is selling gasoline to the public
in the state of S. Dakota at 1e
cents per gallons.
"The Standard Oil company of
Indiana, operating on its estab-
lished policy that the customers
whe purchase its goods should
never be compelled to pay high
er price than that maintained
and fixed by any competitor,
quality and service be consider
ed, has met this price.
"Other state executives and
officers of municipalities are sug-
gesting that the S. Dakota price
be madeapplicable in their states.
Competitors in other states and
communities over the territory

low cost Of production has also
cut the prices hitherto establish
ed and maintained in substantial
amounts.
I'm establishing th e above
price, the Standard Oil company
of Indiana is not endeavoring to
injure any of its competitors in
any way.
The prices in the territory
affected will not be uniform as
result of the cut, just as they
are not now uniform, because of
the varying freight rates. The
Chicago price will be LA cents.

president has associated its in
terssts with Shelby. Shelby is Il
be congratulated, and Kevin car
consistently do that, because il
is Toole county enterprise anc
in which we find no fault. OF
course we would have liked tc
have this undertaking, but mas
much as Kevin will be the center
the Campbell production and pipe
line terminal, we feel party to
It and as the Chamber of Com
merce did a week ago, so do we
endorse and promise Mr.. Camp
bell and associates our coopera-
tion, We hope that Shelby is
awake to what the refining of
the Campbell oil will mean to
that growing an d prosperous
city. For the moment the Camp
bell incorporation will be without
competition, but we predict other
refineries for Shelby, because of
its geographical location and
market accessibility. Of course
railroad facilities and market
anticipated Mr.. Campbell, but
the fact remains that Campbell
had the foresight to not only see
the extraordinary condition but
had the hardihood to embrace it.
The Campbell production n
the Kevin field is now sufficient
to care for the units provided in
the Shelby refining programe,
but new wells are in immediate
and rigs are being erect
ed in what is undoubtedly proven
territory. One Of particular con-
Germ and interest locally is one

Gipsy Oil Company
TO Enter Kevin Field

Entrance of the Gipsy Oil com
pany as an active operator this
week marked one Of the most
important events of the Kevin
field. 1t is understood that the
Gipsy has spotted a location for
a test on its vast holdings in 80
| 2 w, and will drill Immediately.
The Gipsy, subsidiary of the
Gulf Oil Corporation, is one of
the most powerful Independents
oil companies in the world. 1t
secured a large block of acreage
in 1922 W and 33-1 W early in the
development of the field. It's
location will be fully Is miles
south of the northern production
in the field and marks an impor-
tant step in the expansion of the
vast Kevin field. More important
than the ordinary wildcat, the
Gipsy test is looked upon as bet
er than an even chance for pro-
duction.
This follows the move of the
Mutual Oil company in spread
ing its operations to 34-2 W
which now has promise of devel-
oping as has the famous town
ship 35-2w.
The acreage around the report
ed Gypsy location is controlled
largely by the Gipsy, Ohio oil
company and the S1nburst COM
panies. Practically every acre in
the township enumerated is un-
der lease. One leases at 500 an
acre for so per cent of the oil.

Like Sir Walter Scott's Limp
ing Leaders of the Chase" aftel
the festive floating knocker ha:
at sun down sought his liar, Ke-
vim is staunch and supreme as
the center OF the Sunburst anc
Ellis oil sands, hoists it's banner
of progressiveness and prosper
ity.
Until the moment KENIN has
not been taken seriously as big
asset Of Toole county.
The personnel of the town is
the personification of all that en-
bodies the extraordinary quail
ties that spells good citizenship
and progress.
kelvin has no fear Of the
neighboring night, and will be
ready for bed if the big night
should come.
1t is without remorse and is
rectifying it's mistakes. AS time
goes on in sun or shade the town
is ever responsive to ideas, Wis
ion and ambition and will become
a city. The town is loved by it's
competitors by reasons of integ-
rity, fair dealing and generous
forgetfulness.
Kind, considerate and ever at
tentive to it's guests, kelvin,
the palpatating center Of the oil
fields is daily becoming mole
popular and more patronized.
In prospect the community has
every inducement for Investment.
Floods are no longer possible,
for a dam diverting the water
shed is under construction.
The streets are graded, with
gravel and oil dressing assured7
Petty grievances are forgotten
and spleen Of the tomahawk has
been dissolved, and blended into
a unity that is impregnible a.
gainst commercial disaster.
A petition to the county COM
missioners for right and fran
chise to lay gas and wat te r
mains in it's streets is in circu-
lation. A positive guarantee of |
this innovation is in the hands Of |
the powers that be. Enthusias-
tic, calm, serene. not waiting, |
for new life nestles in the womb,
Kevin's only appeal is for
square deal, and it will get it.
If it has enemies, which is
doubtful, they are forgiven. Or
1erly and confident it awaits and I
welcomes your coming, and you
will come.

consolidates With

Will Refine Own Production
L. r. Olsen Retained as
General Manager

The Kevtana Refining company
Of which L. R. Olsen was presi
dent, has consolidated with the
Montana Giant, to the end tha1
the capacity of the plant will be
doubled.
Starting a few months ago with
2 limited capital and output, but
with = superior quality of gas.
oline that merited the extraordi-
nary patronage that it has had
Approximately two hundred gal
Ions of unexcelled gas is sold
J daily, while lubercating oils in
proportion are distributed.
The Montana Giant company
is one Of the successful and big
operators in the Kevin field and
other acreage is owned in several
promising locations. The Kevin
PR duction exceeds a hundred
barrels daily and it's close proxi-
nifty of about three miles from
the refinery, lends economy and
convenience to the piping of the
crude from the wells to the plant.
A three inch line will be laid i'm
msdiately and on its completion
night and day shifts will be in
cluded with various innovations.
Distributing stations will be
established at Cut Bank, Sweet
Grass and possibly others as the
increased capacity will permit.
Ornamental the plant is situat~
Cd an eight of a mile east Of the
Great Northern tracts and is on
the new graded and shortcut
road to points in northern Toole
county.
To L. R. Olsen, ever stanch
and loyal to the initial undertak-
ing belongs the reward of pat
ience and perseverance. From
Infant industry it has grown pro-
badly beyond the fondest hopes
of the instigator. Mr.. Olsen has
been q resident Of Montana for
fifteen years and during his resi-
dency. ever progressive and pub
lie spirited, he has become lead
ing factor in commercial and
social circles. A hotel at Win
nett ably managed by Mrs. Olsen
is among his assets, and Mr.. o.
sen contributed very materially
to Cat Creek promotions and de-
velopment.
In an interview by a represen-
tative of this paper Mr.. Olsen
said: Tho ow emalimated
with the Montana Giant oil com
pany our old trade name The
Kevtana Refining Company will
be maintained. Owning our own
production and with increased
capacity with economic improv-
ments that have in mind, with
our indepentency established, we
will be able to sell a very super
ior class of gasoline and oil in
competition with any concern in
the country. The plant has never
had over production and has run
perpetually from the beginning.
The pipe line which will be a
surface one for the present it
is but matter of days, and we
will be actually refining our own
production by the first of Sept
ember." )"
It is said that Mr.. Olsen made {
a very profitable deal in the con-
solidation, greatly pleasing his
associates and fellow citiyens.
Mr.. Olsen success has not discard
ed his overalls and he will be
found at the plant early and
late az Of yore, tho he is the
of one Of the big enter
prizes in northern Montana.
The Montana Giant is prepar-
ing to drill in Teton county IN the /
near future and other acreage
will be developed from time to
time. Kelvin is congratulatlng
itself as the home of this COM
pspy. ~

Growth of The Northwestern Bulletin
Reflected In Increased Size of Paper

Owing to the increasing demand
for advertising space in our medium
and the large amount of news COM
ing into the Office which we have been
unable to publish on account of the
lack Of space, we are forced to en-
large the Bulletin to six pages in or
der to do justice to our advertisers.
We especially wish to publish all
Twin Cities news of interest pertain
ing to civic. business and social af-
fairs. thereby giving our readers suf-
ficient news at all times.
Shortly following the death Of Mr..
Chesnutt we issued a statement to
the effect that our policy was the
building of greater Twin Cities for
the Negro. We asked for the hearty
cooperation of the citizens In achiev-
ing our aim.
The response 10 our request has
been so generous that we are going to
do everything possible to accomplish
the desired. We want the public of
st. Paul and Minneapolis to feel that
the Bulletin is their medium, main
tanned solely for all the object of big
ger and better things and a more
rapid social. Intellectual and econom-
ic progress.

DIPLOMAS GIVEN
MANY STUDENTS
IN TWIN CITIES
Minneapolis and st. Paul Stu
dens Share Equal HOnors in
High Schools and u. of NJ.

June, frequently styled as the
month of graduates, gathered its
usual quota of Twin Cities students
from the various high schools and the
University of Minnesota. The larger
number of high school graduates
were girls, but the boys carried away
the honors at the university. The
following are graduates from the
University of Minnesota: Academic
Department, Bella T. Taylor, w.
Donald Brown, Alfred J. Jenkins and
Roy wilkins. College of Pharmacy:
Frederick d. Inge and George King.
College of Dentistry: Howard B.
Sheppard. From st. Paul high
schools: Mechanic Arts, Thelma
Williams, Mabel Douglas, Beatrice
Hagan and Earl wilkins. Central
high school, Elizabeth Johnson, John
Lawrence. George Grissom and
Reginald Johnson were mid-year
graduates. From Minneapolis high
schools the following received diplo-
mas: Central bigh school, Alvai
Williams. George Banks and Lucille
Morrow. Miss Morrow won third prize
in the Gale prize contest. Her sub
ject was ''Negro Prose and Poetry in
America" Miss Williams was cited
for her genius in home economies.
From the Vocational high school
were: Marguerite Seymore and
Ernest Parker. From Anoka high
school, William ]. Arnold, Jr. A
large majority of these high school
graduates plan on entering the Uni
versity of Minnesota in the fall
semester. To these graduates We
wish to say that your commence
ment is only beginning. The many
vital things of life will present them
selves, taxing the mental and moral
tissues; will often force you to real
ize that the practical world expects
things of graduates, never found in
text books. 1t is here your knowl-
edge of things will count. The world
pays for an idea; 1t is up to you to
sell the deep thought you have ac-
quired by months of constant study.
This is possible for you to do, but II
is not easily accomplished. Your
fertile thinking faculties, together
with an earnest will to make good"
is the only tangible commodity the
world will pay for. Your future Is
the size of yourself: neither larger
nor smaller. The measure of success
you receive will depend on your will
ingness to capitalize every creditable
asset you encounter. You have now
finished only to begin in the greatest
school--the practical world of expert
ence.
