There once was a sculptor named
Phidias,
whose tastes were extremely
invidious.
He carved Aphrodite
without any nighties,
Which shocked the ultra fas-
tidious.
The following story Is about
a certain Scotchman who returned
to his native land after a thirty
year absence. Preparatory to his
leaving America he wrote and asked
his brothers to meet him at the
station, and upon his arrival at the
home town was met by two bearded
men whom he had difficulty in
recognizing.
why the beards?' he asked.
''Dinna ye remember, Donald?" re-
piled they, You took the razor
with you"

he stopped so that could ask what
the trouble was.
"The young man replied, between
sobs, Nav thinks she is going

And that is how I first met
Gordon Campbell, who win now

The crowd of farmers didn't
laugh, nor did they applaud. Mem
bers Of the G. G. X. party stood
agast. Rich, as usual. did not crack
a smile. Rich, avenged OF a praci-
cal joke by Campbell, chuckled.
Campbell grinned and proceeded to
tell the crowd something of the ira
walls Of finding oil. A Badger con-
tributor last week sent in a version
OF this story, reminding us OF Rich's
surprising practical joke.

Here is a hitherto unpublished
story of the speech Of John Rich
given at the time of the spuddine
of the Gordon Campbell-Kevin well
north of Kelvin.
Rich, widely known pioneer
writer, historian and noted practi-
cal joker, was a close personal
friend of Gordon Campbell in Cat
Greek days so he was called upon
to make the principal speech at
the ceremony of spudding in the
Kelvin well Campbell had been
regarded with genuine reverence
in the Kevin-Sunburst community.
He was regarded as a saviour to
these people. At any rate, the cere-
mOny was intended to cement his
with those in attendance,
and so Rich, the clever, capable
orator, was called upon to say the
right thing in introducing Campbell.
Rich Immediately delved into his
subject, saying:
II have known this gentleman
for many years. well remember
him the first time met him. l was
driving down a country road when
saw a woman running. Some dis
.ance behind her in full pursuit

years of age. AS 1 came closer I

this report in itself was ample to con
vince him that Kevin-Sunburst field i
barely in the beginning Of it history
despite the fact that 1t has produces
$40, OOO, 900 worth of oil. We looked NJ
the paragraphs of the U. s. g. 3. re
ports he referred to. One read:
1.-THE distribution of the oil may
be due I'm part to its source and
method of migration. The small fis-
sures noted I'm the Troy Sweet
grass well may be parts Of fracture
zones or even faults which reach
down into the Devonian formation
and through which the oil reported
i'm that formation may have coli
Iected Mt the base of the Ellis forna-
ton. III this could be definitely
proved to be the source and method
of migration of the oil, il would in
part account for the unequal dis
tribution of the oil, the larger wells
being located near the more open
assures. the small wells being far
Their lateralIy from the assures and
the barren areas representing places
far removed from assures or frac-
lures"
Another quotation reads:
"a considerable quantity Of black.
heavy, s'dead'' oil Is reported to have
been found near the base of the
Madison limestone in the Dry Fork
well, north of Conrad, I'm Sec. 2, Il.
28N. r.. 3W. Showings of oil and
hydrOcarbOn gas as well as dis
seminated OH are reported from the
Devonian rocks penetrated by the
TrOy-Sweetgrass and Frazier wells,
in the Kevfm-Sunburst field, and the
Bearsden well. northeast Of East
Butte. The AthabasIxa tar sands,
400 miles north of the Kevin-Sun-
burst oil field, which lie just above
tht Devonian, the oil found at
points farther north I'm Canada; and
the oily odOr found i'm the DevOnian
limestone of the Little Rocky Noun
tains all lead to the belief that the
Devonian contains a considerable
quantity OF oil and may possibly be
the source of the oil of the Kelvin
Sunburst field"
s'Never sell Kevin-Sunburst field short
was his parting admOnition, adding "fol
someday someone win drill through thu

WON'T STOP RELIEF

The supreme court decision ad-
verse to the relief appropriation is
not likely to stop many government
projects. 1t is difficult to attack the
validity of relief expenditures since
only those who can show immediate
injury from the expenditure have
any standing in court. 1t will halt
only the projects which set upt COM
