mC State. 1t might be truly stated
that in and around the fields of Kew
in and Sunburst were the first loca-
tons which gave indications of the
existence of this valuable product, !
and whether or not this belated dis
covery was due to oversight on the
part of otherwise enterprising indi
viduals, certain it is that the exist
ence of oil in Montana is manifest
beyond dispute. This discovery led
people to investigate more closely in
fields outside of Kelvin and Sunburst
and no great surprise was expressed
when it was found that other por-
lions of the State showed signs Of
this hidden wealth. The people of
Sheridan County were not slow to
determine the possibilities of this
product being contained in the soil
they had worked for so many years.
Biologists were consulted and Undue
ed to apply their experience to the
soil Of Sheridan County. And the
result has so far been most crafty
ing, for trained Biologists under in
structions from the government of
the United States have backed their
knowledge and experience against the
fact that oil exists in Sheridan Coun-
ty.
At this point I will make a predic-
ton: Not in the far distant future
there will be many oil rigs scattered
through the area of Sheridan county
digging through the sands to bring
this valuable fluid to the surface for
marketing process. Any lay man go
ing through the country can readily
see oil seeping through the assures
of the earth, and the creeks show I'M
mistakable evidence of the presence
of oil along their surface.

turn their eyes toward Montana this

ciated drift classified as Williams
Loan which is equal to any soil in the
State in productiveness and surpasses
most of them.
Sheridan County has been very
fortunate in securing a good average
crop in most years. This county is
rated as the best so-called "Dry-Far-
ming" section of Montana. The rea-
son for this is the superior soil and
greater amount of rainfall. The
heavy clay soil, together with a good
subsoil makes a very good water
holding capacity. This with our
greater amount of rainfall accounts
for our better average crops. In 1919
there was a short crop; but with our
present system of farming it is very
improbable that we will experience
any crop failure in the future. For
instance, very few raised corn IN
1919; but those who did received a
considerable crop. Our summer fall
low acreage was also very small, but
there was a big difference in yield on
summer fallow fields and other fields.
The season will have to be exception
ally adverse if we are not able to
raise at least one crop of sweet Glow
er.
Below is a table showing the trend
of farming in the county:
1923 1924 1925 1926
Acres Acres Acres Acres
Corn 5000 $4,000 1900 16,5OC
Swt. Glow. 500 1,5OO 5000 $4,000
Sum. Fal $4,000 $4,000 $4,000 $4,000
In 1926 some Barley was raised IL
place of corn.
When this plan of farming is de-
veloped even still more, crop failures
will undoubtedly be of a minus guam
tity. In fact, when it is stated thai
there was a partial crop failure il
1919, or only one year in 16 years
it must be admitted that this is /;
better record than most districts car
claim.

value, for it has been discovered that
"brick-ketting" of this slack, when
properly compressed, furnishes an
excellent substitute for coke. This
item in itself deserves the considera-
ton of enterprising persons.
Next we have discovered that there
is an abundance of clay deposits,
which are invaluable in the manufac-
turing of brick, sewer pipes and 9th
er forms of high grade tiles. Not
ably is this formation to be found in
and around Redstone; and though
some steps have been taken towards
turning this product into commercial
use, to use a trite phrase: "The Sur
face has not yet been scratched"
From the manufacturing of this clay,
modern houses can be erected, more
cheaply it is estimated, than can be
raised as at present by the dangerous
and more unsightly process of 'Lum-
Der Piling.' More could be said
about this particular resource, but
space will not permit, for other as

leading agricultural counties, if not
the leading, is further proved by the
fact that it is the leading spring
wheat county in the State; also leads
in the production of oats and flax.
Sheridan County is also one of the
leading counties in production of bar
ley, rye, sweet clover, corn, alfalfa
and other tame hays are raised sue
cessfully. Sheridan county products
have won high honors this year at
all the leading fairs in the state and
at the international at Chicago, and
at Portland. In 1924 Sheridan county
lead all counties in the state in value
of agricultural products produced, in
Guiding livestock, small grain, dairy
products, sheep and wool, horses, etc.
That Sheridan county can raise
something besides grain has been
proven by the excellent sweet clover
that has been grown; also alfalfa,
corn and other forage crops. A good
supply of hay crops can be produced.
Sheridan county lays claim to hav-
ing the best opportunities for farm
ing, barring none, in the United
States. Price of land, yields, quail
ity of soil, rainfall, the large varia-
ton of crops that can be raised east
ly proves this contention.
! In giving the foregoing facts, Mr..
Ostby errs, if he errs at all, in un-
derestimating the case.
There are other factors which must
be considered in the development of
Sheridan County, and not the least
important Of these is that most es-

IN THE ABSENCE OF OVERPOWERING LOVE

bachelor girl, and her life is often
so full and interesting and useful
that she is utterly happy and con-
tented in her own way.
A very spry, interesting old lady
of 62 recently claimed that her prin-
cipal reason for not marrying was
her intense horror of parting with
her freedom, and of having her indi-
viduality and gifts killed by husband
and children and circumstances. She
is convinced that for her at least the
only life was single life, and she has
absolutely no regrets for not having
married.
All of this, of course, seems i'm
possible to the wife and mother who
has reasoned herself into a state of
superiority and has only pity for the
unmarried woman. She expresses on
every possible occasion her belief
that there is no work and no honor
that can recompense for the tragedy
of not having a child. This view is
little short of insulting to the many
great woman who have done every
thing and had everything but a child,
and who have made life worth living
for other women's children and found
( recompenses in full for themselves.
Were you in love, there is no ques-
ton as to which you should choose.
You would decide in favor of mar
riage, and a tiny two-by-four house
would look better to you than the
finest job in the world. To be sure,
there would be~many times when you
would find marriage most trying, but
having for your very own the man
you loved would be sufficient COM
pensation for any hardship.

THE ABUSE OF PRIVILEGE

I wonder if my readers some
times pause to think of the bound
less privileges that men and wo-
men possess? There is nothing in
or on this big, round earth-no,
nor in the skies above, that is not
ours to lay hold Of, and use as we
please, so long as we respect the
rights Of our fellow-men and wo-
men.
Yet, man is the only created
being that abuses his divine per-
init, well knowing that he must
suffer by so doing. Like the spoil
ed child, he sprees, does excuses
in everything debaUches his diges-
tive, eliminative, nC~yCus and sex
Ual syatoms-thcre is no privilege
that he does not abuse-and the
penalties are as sure as today's
sunset!
The abuse Of privilege is man
kinds most outstanding sin; we
ought to be ashamed OF ourselves,
blessed as we are above all an
mate species, and defantly indulg-
ing our appetites as if we were
damageproof. Who among us has
ever observed one Of the so-called
lower animals violating the natur-
al law? Violating the law of right
living? They arc seldom i'll, and
usually live out the full expecta-
ton of life unless man intorferes.
Excuses in food and drink; ex-
travagance in our output of ener-
gy; prodigality in things which
are sacred; intemperance in So
called luXuries; defiance within the
orchard Of forbidden fruits-all
these are producers of suffering
and unhappiness, curtailers of life
itself. I am not sermonizing,- /
am arguing for temperance in ALL
things, and against the violation
of our God-given privileges, know
ing that life health and happiness
are the sure rewards. Right liv-
ing will, in time, do away with
