ARMY CODE TRAINING
BY GEN. L. r. HOLBROOK
To c. M T. C. at Camp Dix.

TAKE the "army code" book
j into civil life with you. If in
business, seek to have all members
of your company or corporation swear
true faith and allegiance to it-that is,
be loyal to those for whom they work.
Teach employers and leaders or fore
men to exercise their authority with
"firmness, kindness and Justice; to
settle difficulties among employees and
to arrive at decisions without fear or
partially, favor or affection and with
out hope of reward" Train the en-
ployes to "obey strictly and to execute
promptly" the instruction of those
placed over them. You will be sue
cessful as you develop teamwork and
apply the army code.
You have come to this camp in GER
tain state of physical development, ct
mental keenness and of moral fitness.
Your very appearance convinces me
that you leave more physically fit,
more mentally alert and better pre-
pared morally to face with confidence
the problems Of the future.

COTTON POLICY
By GEORGE M. MASSEY

By GEORGE M. MASSEY
OF Manchester Ship Canal Company.
WHILE the American cotton
w farmer or planter has bene-
fitted by the generous loans made
on cotton and the turning over of ev.
cry fourth row, it is obvious that there
is 25 per cent less labor in the cotton
fields, which means 25 per cent of cot
ton labor put on the unemployment al
lowances, 25 per cent less ginning op-
erations and the same losses in cotton
to be carried by railroads and motor
trucks in cottonseed oil and oil cake,
and, Of extreme Importance, serious
reduction in the amount of export cot
ton to be carried by American ships
from the Gulf and south Atlantic ports
to England, ships that depended to a
large extent upon cotton as the most
important element Of their cargo.

CALL YOUR SHOTS

COMMON frankness requires
~ that the administration come
forward to the people and declare
precisely wherein under our Constitu-
ton we cannot correct evils and cannot
prevent social EMBELLISHMENTS.
The time has come when these full
purposes should be disclosed. The peo-

that these gentlemen want so that the
people can consider and themselves de-
termine it. That is their right.

A HUNDRED NILES OF
OIL LAND

Drilling had not progressed to any
great extent when it was found that this
sand found north OF Cut Bank was OF con-
siderable extent. AS the area was pros
pected, producer after producer came in
and at the present time there is an area
on around 10000 acres of oil land in
dicated that will doubtless produce more
than a hundred million dollars worth OF
oil.
But this is Just the beginning. We
know the present established extent OF
the pool but we cannot guess its limits,
north or west Most important is its north
and south extent. Twelve miles north and
east Is the discovery well drilled by Tip"
OMEN on north Cut Bank. The sand ex-
tends far north and east, we know. But
it does not end there. In the Border-Red
Coulee oil field, six miles northeast of
the O'Neil we'll. the Cut Bank sand is
present and is producing similar oil.
Then "a miles EAST from the Border
field the Cut Bank sand is found again
in the north end OF the Whitlash oil field.
The only difference is that it is shailOwer
at Whitlash than at Cut Bank It is the
same sand and identical oil.
Continuing into the next township
East of Whitlash is the Flat Coulee field
where the Cut Bank sand is again found.
It is SIS feet thick at this point which
fact engineers say, is Indicative that the
beach is swinging SOUTHWARK around
the northeast end Of the Sweetgrass Hills
which were present when this area was
an island.
Here the record Of the Cut Bank sand
the Cretaceous shore line-ends on the
northeast.
Returning to Cut Bank we go south
ward and find the Cut Bank sand present
for distance of about IL miles. Engin-
eers were In doubt whether it swung
eastward or westward or straight south,
well drilled by the Barmac interests
indicated that it does NOT run straight
south. we'll drilled by Producers Dew
elopment syndicate indicated that it did
not swing due EAST. Some operators be-
lieve that the coastline swings eastward
between the Barmac and Producers wells
and then swings westward again.
we'll is now drilling to test this
theory. It is the Texas-Vail located three
miles north of Waller and eleven miles
south OF the nearest producing we'll. If
any OF us could see into the ground and
determine whether the beach is present
at this location, we could make a tremen-
dous fortune. Some say that this well is
too far East Others say 1t is located per-
fectay. For our part we have not ventured
a guess. When we guess. we buy royal

''Tbe information yOu have is worth
hundred million dollars TO the ones who
will capitalize it."
This statement came from visitor to
our office. He asked for 3 word picture
Of the general situation I'M northern Mon
tana with regard to the future OF the Oil
industry.
He thought the information we gave
him was confidential and was surprised
when he found otherwise
These are facts which every member
of this organization knows tsnd which we
are willing TO discuss with anyone who
is interested In the Montana oil indus
try-the more the better we told ham.
We were talking about the Cut Bank
sand He was anxious to correlate It with
other producing horizons. He had read
the statement that the Cut Bank hori-
zon corresponds with the producing hori-
zon of East Texas. We published this
statement many months ago and a COM
parison of Cut Bank mad East Texas was
the subject of a special publication, At
that time we pointed out that IL Cut
Bank had as many producing wells rs
East Texas 1t would have as great to-
tai daily production It is difficult for
people to realize that there is ROOM
for 10000 oil wells in Cut Bank field.
Thus the discussion developed the nun
dred million dollar information"
There Is o hundred million dollars
worth of undeveIoped OIL land along the
early Cretaceous shoreline barred from
26OO TO 5000 feet beneath the prairtes
of Northern Montana. We are firm In our
belief that the greater Cut Bank oil field
is one of the greatest oil pools I'm the
world.
In prehistoric times-a hundred and
twenty million years ago, perhaps-there
was an island surrounded by a tropical
sea, in the area now called the Sweet
Grass Arch. The arch is a structural
feature which doubtless suggests the
shape of the ancient island On the shores
of this island was a beach Of shining
white sand. The action of the elements
storm, wind, rain, slowly broke down the
sea walls The coarser particles formed
the coarse sand which sank close to shore
and the finer sand and silt was carried
out into the bay.
This beach was first penetrated by the
drill of a prospector in the vicinity OF
Cut Bank and it was found to contain
oil. The beach was not recognized as Of
any importance at the time for the sand
was called a STRAY" OIL operators do
not care for STRAY sands which may ex-
tend over a very small area.
