EDITOR PLAYS SAFE

Editor Dan milestone, in his last
issue of the Cut Bank Pioneer Press
gives the following article on Editors
Playing Safe. Brother Milestone, il
his well written story, mentions q
nearby-by publisher, and we take for
granted that he means the editor OF
the Review, as we are the only close
neighbor that has been up against q
libel suit, this happening with II
some two years ago. Perhaps, if We
had Of worded our article as the fol
lowing story, the judge would noT
have said $25OOO and costs. The
Press article is as follows:
The publisher Of a newspaper in
a nearby town had been recently
threatened with a libel suit by, an in
dignant citizen because an erroneous
statement regarding him which had
been permitted to get into print. The
editor decided he had better read up
on the law of libel and after much
study he came to the conclusion that
the weather was the only subject
about which he could be safe in max
ing positive statements. Thereupon
he determined to steer clear of legal
embarrassment in the future. The next
morning the readers of the society
column of his paper we're greeted
with strange reports of social func-
tions, OF which the following is a spe-
cimen:
A woman giving the name Of Mrs.
]. C. Jones, who is believed to be one
of the society leaders of the city, is
said to have given what purported to
be reception at her home yesterday
afternoon.
1T is understood that a considera-
BILE number of sO-called guests, report
ed to be ladies distinguished in local
society were present and some of
them are quoted as saying they en-
joyed the occasion.
1T is claimed that Montagni Bros.
caterers, furnished the refreshments,
said to have been served, and the Bon
Ton orchestra furnished the alleged
music
THE hostess is said to have worn
what was alleged to have been an ex-
pensive pearl necklace, which she de-
clared was given her by Mr. J. G.
Jones. gentleman with whom she
is said to be living. Gnd who. it is
generally believed is her husband.

Pay regular dividends since it started
some four months asc. ghis comps-
ny started operations little over 4
months ago and has paid III per cent
each mopth to its stockholders ever
since, or per cent on every dollar
invested for four months. This is dene
through plan adopted before the
company as organized, which pro.
yidpd that Eli the money derived from
the sale Of stock should be invested
in paying royalties. and these royal
ties should not pay less than 30 per
cent, according to Carl Kraft presi-
dent of the company The difference
between 18 per cent, the amount set
out by the company to pay in month
Iy instaIIments, is to be invested in
royalties ahead Of the drill. This plan
has been followed out thus far, Mr..
Kraft said, and would continue to be
the company's policy.
Although the production Of oil has
been lowered considerably In the Ke-
