IN OIL!

A group of Canadian and Montana oil men have secured
leases on 700 acres near the City Of Shelby, Montana These
leases were picked after careful investigation by expert oil men
and competent biologists.
They are now drilling a well about halt a mile north of the
town. Drilling is in actual operation.
They have incorporated a company in Montana with an
authorized capital of ~$50,000OO, all treasury stock.
$16,000.00 in stock is being given for the leases.
s16,OoO.Oo in cash is being paid for a well, turnkey" job,
to the Madison Lime.
The cash for the well is being raised by the sale of treasury
stock at par.
A considerable amount has been sold and a limited guam
tiy is still available.
When oil is struck the we'll and the 700 acres of leases will
be worth many times their cost.
Each dollar of stock issued would then have back of it sew
eral dollars of real tangible assets.
There is no stock given for promotion.
The company does not guarantee dividends.
1t does promise honest, efficient management by exper-
fenced men.
500 per cent profit would be a modest gain when production
is secured on the company's 700 acres.
The profits would be fabulous.
There is hardly any limit to the possibilities.
But it is a speculation, pure and simple.
1t might be called a gamble.
But then it is no bigger gamble than sowing wheat in Mon
tana, or Canada.
The possibilities of great profit are 1000 per cent greater.
If you can afford to farm you can afford to come in and
take a chance with us.
We don't want widows mites, nor life savings.
Red blood and the pioneering spirit opened up America for
the white man.
Fortunes still await men of enter prise.
Big fortunes are being made in Montana oil. Why not get
your hare?
How about it?
If you want quick action with big possibilities, come on in.
We admit there is risk, but over against the risk are big
possibilities of great gain.
Then all business is a risk.
If this frank statement appeals to you and you want your
share of risk and profits, clip out the following coupon and
mail t to the First National Bank, Shelby, Montana, with
money to cover the amount of stock you want.
The bank will forward yr the stock.

ASKS milk SUPPLY
FOR Fairgrounds
Supervisor Points to Need,
/. But Cost Is Far Above
/ Money for Work.

Milk should be kept on the play
for undernourished children, Mrs.
Susie Root Rhodes, supervisor, de-
cIared last night in stating the needs
OF her department.
But before this innovation can be
introduced the supervisor will have
to devise some means of obtaining
small ice boxes for each of the play
grounds. Mrs. Rhodes estimates 1t
would require $468 a month for ice
to keep milk on the sixty play
grounds
Although there are sixty recrea-
tion centers now In operation. more
than thirty of them are school yards
being maintained as public play
grounds for the vacation months
only.
The lump sum appropriation with
which the thirty schoolyards were
opened this summer amounts to
only $4,000. To keep sixty play
grounds going throughout the year
$4,000 would be needed, Mrs. Rhodes
estimates.
$1,000 Contributed.
Since Commissioner oyster made
his public appeal for contributions
several weeks ago, approximately
Sl.2o0 has been given, and is now
being used.
The plan of opening school yards
as summer Fairgrounds was started
by Commissioner Oyster in 1920. when
he made his first appeal for popular
subscriptions.
AS the result of that appeal suffi-
clent money was obtained to open
sixteen school yards. The following
year Congress expressed it's approval
of Capt. Oysters action by appropri-
at1ng $4,000 for summer play
grounds. This year the lawmakers
increased the allotment to $4,000.

minutes for a jury to return a
verdict in favor of the defendant
in Circuit Court here Monday

stand. She related her story
without emotion, kesitating at
times to answer questions put
by the defense. She claimed the

accaunt due to Mr.. Atkison by
her husband, who was away at
the time of the incident, which
occurred several months ago.
She was unable to pay the ac-
count and was preparing to
leave McHenry and return to

summons but never entered the
house. The woman claimed
that later the same night the de-

children slept. 1t was then, she
claimed, the defendant made in
