Auto Electric Shop is
Name of New Concern

The Auto Electric Shop is the
headline of new institution that
have opened their doors to the
public this week, the proprietors
being Presby and Rogers, and
their place is just east of the
Kelvin Garage in the Harvey
Watson building.
The new firm will do work in
the line of taking care of mag
netos, generators, battery repair
ing, welding and auto repairing.
Both of the gentlemen are ex-
perienced in this line, Mr.. Pres
by, until recently, acting in the
capacity of mechanical man for
the Kelvin Garage for the past
year or so. The Review predicts
that that this new concern will
do thriving business as the Ke-
vim traffic seems very good these
days.

| Every once in a while some
body remarks that not enough is
known in other states about the
Kevin oil field that it's product
ion and the capacity of its wells
and the position it actually occu-
pies in oildom should center it
more exactly under the spotlig hit.
Those who have subscribed to
this belief fshould remember Eddie
Pitts, look to the future and take
heart.
For Pitts has been in Colorado
and Wyoming several weeks and
there, as in other states last win
ter, he has given perfect dem
onstration of the valiant service
printers ink can perform when
it has adequate inspiration. A
couple of weeks ago all Denver
newspapers carried interviews
with Pitts, in which the record
of the Kevin field was faithfully
chronicled. Later on he went to
Casper and in recent issue of
the Casper Herald he thus con-
tinued his account of Montana:
Montana has had plenty of
rain this spring and the agricul-
tural outlook is better than it has
been for five years." declared Mr..
Pitts. "Our state was hard hit
by the postwar depression a.
mong farming communities and
this, coupled with several dry
years, tended to give Montana a
distinct financial setback. This
spring, howerer, the outlook is
very encouraging. Farmers who
had been praying for rain are
now goodnaturedly 'cussing' the
mud and at the same time prep
airing to harvest a banner crop.
In the Kevin oil field pros
poets are still brighter. 1t is esti-
mated that 200 wells will be put
down this year in an effort to
meet the increasing demand for

Legion Will
Observe Memorial Day

Under the direction of a com
mittee from the Shelby Post OF
the American Legion plans for
the proper observance of Mem
orial Day are rapidly taking
shape. AS at present outlined
the plans call for simple services
and the caring for veterans S
graves at all the cemeteries in
the county at which ex-service
men are buried, and for an after
noon program at the Orpheum
Theater in Shelby. The graves in
the Shelby cemetery will be cared
for by Legion members and flow
ers for all the cemeteries will be
furnished by the Womens Auxil-
iary.
The afternoon program at Shell
by will include an address, music
and such other numbers as are
appropriate and will commence
promptly at 1.30 o'clock. From
IL to 3 o'clock all business houses
in Shelby will close in accordance
with a proclamation of the Mayor
to that effect.
Toole Post of the American
Legion hopes that so far as it is
possible these services be made a
affair, and extends
an invitation to every member of
the community to be present. 1t
is the one day of the year set
apart to honor the memory Of the
Nations honored dead and Toole
county should do its share in see
ing that day is properly observed.

BY CAMPBELL
Will Be Fourth Montana Area
Explored BY DiscoVerer of

Campbell first mapped the struc-
ture an area of $4,000 acres, in
1920, and made a new survey last
year.
An entirely new condition will
be met at Tiegen, where. Camp
bell says the geologic formation
are similar to those in Mexican
fields.

an excellent enclosure. /" the oil
operator declares. st is enclosed

same horizon which produces oil
in the Cat Creek field will be en-
countered on the Tiegen struct-
ure at 1000 feet. He announced
that he will send man to Lew
istown at once to select a drill
ing outfit and that the well will
be spudded within week.

barrels during the last q years
from a sand three feet thick and
is still yielding crude at the rate
of 250 barrels a day. At one spot
in the field, thought to be outside

DENTON EDITOR ON
CAMPBELL CASE

The stark naked, outstanding
fact about the conviction Of Cor
don Campbell is that it was not
procured by the prosecuting at
torneys whose duty it was to
prosecute following the grand
jury Indictment but by the pre-
siding judge. who deliberately
took the case out Of the hands Of
the prosecutors and practically
compelled the jury to return a
verdict of guilty.
To accomplish this the presid-
ing judge announced a new and
amazing doctrine of the common
law, which for centuries has been
the great bulwark greater than
all statutes and all constitutions
interposed between the citizen
and assaults upon his life, his
liberty and his property rights.
Not in all the centuries during
which the common law in Angle
Saxon countries has been deyel-
oping and solidifying has the
doctrine evolved and enforced by
Judge Bourquin, been set up by
any prosecutor or by any court. |

the common law has for ages |
been avoided. 1t is the age of |
common law principles that has
given to them veneration; it has
been their uninterrupted accept
tance, as rules for action and as
sleepless sentinels Of liberty, by |
all the common humanity of An
glo-Saxon civilization, that has
given them binding force and
