OIL RESCUES
INVESTMENT
MORTGAGES

Oil has restored the state of
Montana back to good standing
among real estate and mortgage in
vestors, in the opinion Of A. e.
Reichoff who was a recent visitor
to his extensive properties in the
Treasure Belt area north OF Great
Falls.
Mr.. Reichoff had $4,000, 900 out
standing In loans on Montana farm
properties in July, 1920. BY the
time OF the depression he had reduc-
ed those loans to 100000 While
real estate values have not recov-
cred, the oil industry has gone a
long way toward making It possible
to liquidate many of these loans,
Mr.. Reichon states. He has several
thousand acres in the Cut Bank
field and vicinity and thousands
Of additional acres in the Sweetgrass
Arch whore there are possibilities
OF oil development. A wildcat well
drilled by Drumheller interests near
Choteau was on Reichoff properties.
While foreclosures became neces-
sary, and the taxes on the large
area OF land now held are very
high, the revenue from oil has off
set this expense and made possible
sales and rentals that only the oil
industry could bring Mr.. Reichoff
to the extensive land
business of his father who started
handling lands in 1854. He now
has approximately 100, 900 acres OF
lands including some 10000 acres
in the midwestern states and $4,000
acres in the west.

Soap Plugs Pores


Soap Plugs Pores
Cannon claims that by pumping
a plain soap solution down into the
bore holes of oil wells he can plug
up the pores in the underground
sands thru which oozes the water
that is responsible for drowning
the we'll and communicating the oil.
The plugging action occurs. he
says, when the soap reacts with the
magnesium and calcium salts in the
water A reaction takes place to
fill up the pores in the sand and
won't let the water thru. The ac-
tion is the same as when one tries
30 take a bath IN hard water. The
salts in the hard water react with
the soap to form soap curd which
shows its presence as a ring around

, the bathtub.
improvement Over Cement
Heretofore cement has been pump
ed down into the bottom of the we'll
to plaster the walls OF the bore
hole in order to keep water out.
But the cement not only blocks the
flow OF water but also the ooze OF
oil from the oil bearing sands into
the well. This means less oil is
obtained from tine well.
The big advantage OF using soap
instead Of cement, Cannon claims,
is that the soap blocks only the
flow Of water from the water sands.
Thus the pores IN the oil sands are
left open to ooxe their oil into the
we'll since the soap il inert to OH
and oil Is not curdled by It.

Tough Fight
At Arena

Marty Gallagher, Washington
heavyweight, returns to ring duty
tonight at Turner's Arena, cross
, ing paths and trading blows with
Sandy Mcdonald, a giant Of a
fighter from Dallas, in the ten
round feature match.
Marty is far from the favorite,
for he hasn't fought in some seven
months, and veteran ringSiders are
wondering whether the long lay
off will work against the burly
Irishman from Foggy Bottom.
Though Mcdonald is strictly
newcomer in Washington, and
fans here know very little about
him, the fact remains the Texan
is tough tWo-fisted Scrapper, and
Marty will have plenty of trouble
on his hands during the ten
rounds-provided the bout goes
that far.

been scored via the knockout
route. He has lost but two bouts
in the last year-one to Gunnar
Barland, the sensational Finn
heavyweight, and another to Fran.

Mcdonald is handled by Charlie
Seigel, the same gent who trained
Charlie (PhiD Rosenberg, former
worlds bantamweight champion.
Gallagher has been working out
conscientiously for the last three
weeks, and during the tapering
off process Saturday, discovered,
as he jumped on the scales, that
he was down close to the 200
mark. The big Irishman, who has

County Agent Tells
HOlU TO Avert
Sun Scald

Sun scald, which is held large
ly responsible for the local pota-
to markets collapse this week,
can be averted, according to
County Agent Grover w. Falls.
IF growers would use little
more d secretion in digging their
potatoes they would never have
to worry about sun scald," said
Mr.. Falls. Naturally, when they
dig under a broiling hot sun, a
good many of the potatoes are
going to suffer sun scald.
"The way to avert this is to dig
the potatoes out in the late even
ing, as the sun is going down, and
have your pickers in the field at
daybreak ready to begin picking
them up. In this way, the pota-
toes will not be subjected to the
blistering heat as they are dug
out in the morning and picked up
during the day"
Quite few carloads of potatoes
from this county and section
have been rejected on the North
ern markets because of sun Scald.

College Day Service
Sunday Night at
1st Methodist

A service that should be of un-
usual interest and inspiration is
planned for Sunday night at the
First Methodist church. Five
young men and women recently
returned from their work al COL
lege or university will bring brief
messages relating to some phase
of the students religious life.
Each of these five represents a
different institution, and each Of
them is a good speaker.
Wade Mari. Jr., will represent
Duke University; Oliver Gard,
Louisburg College; Ann Slaughter
Greensboro College; Luther
Britt, Carolina: and Cameron
Gregory, Furman University. Two
of these speakers are ministerial
students, Wade Mari, Jr., and
Oliver Gard. The State University
and four church institutions are
represented. The latter include
one Junior college, one four-year
college and two universities.
This special service is the an
nual college Day Service" Of the
Southern Methodist Church. It's
purpose is to afford the local
congregation an opportunity to
hear from some of its college STU
dents and to become better &C
quainted with the church's inSti-
tutions of learning, particularly
their religious life.
Special music by young people
will include violin solo by Bobby
Elliott, organ prelude by Jean
Simpson, and a trio by Camilla
Foreman, Edith Midget and
Frances Singleton. Young people
will serve as uShers and collectors.
The Senior and Young Peoples
departments of the Sunday school
are asked to attend the service
in body. And it is hoped that all
the college and university students
will be present as special guests.
The public is cordially invited.

Black RapidS Glacier

The Black Rapids glacier in the
interior of Alaska, lies about 125
miles south of Fairbanks. Most of
the gigantic ''rivers of ice" in North
America are situated in Alaska, the
Yukon, and the Canadian Rockies.
Among the better known are Taku,
near Juneau, and Tumbling, on
Mount Robson, British Columbia.
The Taku extends for a distance Of
nearly 70 miles, the toe ending in
a wall of sheer ice, almost 100
feet high, within a mile of the main
steamship route along the inside
passage. A sharp blast from a
steamer whistle will cause great
chunks to break off and topple into
the sea.
