LOSS OF MEXICAN
OIL WON'T AFFECT
AMERICAN INDUSTRY

Seizure of Mexican oil fields
by the Mexican government will not
greatly affect the American oil in
dustry in the opinion OF II. A.
Stewart OF The Texas company. who
was a visitor in Great Falls this
week Imports from Mexico we're
not large, and the Mexican oil will
be replaced by increased imports
from South American fields. The
Mexican oil Is chiefly low gravity
crude suitable chiefly for fuel oil
and asphalt. Total exports from
Mexico for 1887 ran above 25.-
100000 barrels. of which nearly
half went to Europe. Venezuelan
oil will largely replace the Mexican
crude.

the winners of the prizes will be
published and announcements made
over KFBB, Great Falls, KGGX
Wolf Point, KJEZ Kalispell and
possibly over the Butte and Helena
stations. The students have brought
out so many convincing arguments
why people of Montana should use
gasoline made from Montana crude,
that we have decided to have a
number of essays broadcasted over
the stations in their area on our
regular program just as soon as
the prizes are awarded. Tell your
friends to listen in on our programs
for these announcements.

educational campaign has been ex-
tended over the most of the state
and 2S counties, just half of the

of these % counties
have adopted resolutions to that
effect with the additional clause
that whereas this policy is es-
pecially applicable in the purchas-
ing of gasoline because of the fact
that Pssoline. made from Montana
produced crude means so much
more to our State tax revenue and
in payrolls to Montana labor than
the purchase of gasoline from the
large importing companies; and
tests have shown conclu-
sively that gasoline made from
Montana crude is in every respect
as good as gasoline imported from
other States.

TLF1 years ago Cooay, Oh octo-
l. Der 8, 1888, the most famous
of all memorials to George
4 Washington, the great Wash

ital, was opened to the public. In the
half century which has elapsed since
that occasion untold millions have
ascended the graceful white shaft
which towers over the city that bears
the name Of the Father of His Coun-
try, and during recent years the num-
ber of visitors has approximated 1,000,-
900 annually. 1t is not to be ques-
toned that, next to the United States
Capitol, the Washington Monument is
the best-known object in the country.
Although the Monument was first
opened to the public so years ago
the national scene almost since the
beginning of the country and its his
tory goes back as far as 1888. Many
generations Of Americans have known

stages, and to all it is the Nations

In its construction almost every
imaginable obstacle had to be over

seemed hopeless, even though the
names of some Of the country's great
est statesmen were connected with the
project Among the obstacles was the
securing Of congressional action, the
raising Of money by house-to-house
canvass, the disproving Of charges Of
corruption, the wading through a re-
ligious controversy, and the solution
of many grave engineering problems.
IN 1888, at the close of the Revolu-

thorized an equestrian statue of Gen.
Washington to be erected at the place
where the seat of Congress should be

of tomcat terror, your home-trained
dog has learned to find his water pan
and basket, to hide his old shoe where
the maid can't find it, to bark when
there's drunken roisterer in the street
but keep quiet when the milkman
comes at am, to let you know-if
you're a bit deaf-whether that was
the doorbell or the telephone that rang.
In other words, even though his life
may not depend on 1t, the intelligent
dog learns, and it Is up to you how
much.
That question Of barking! Ever it
RACES, insoluble as the argument of
child VS.. dog. Some object to both,
some only to one. Some, in fact,
object to children 50 strongly as to
suggest the thought that they were
once children themselves, but prob
ably the most Objectionable sort. Your
reasonable adult believes in we'll
trained children and well-trained dogs.
That does not necessarily mean a
barkless dog or a cryless child. There
is, however, the same difference be-
tween the spoiled, yapping pet dog and
the one that barks occasionally-to
be let out, when danger threatens or
from momentary excitement - that
there is between spoiled, tantrum-
throwing youngster who shrieks to
get his own way and a good child
who cries only once in while when
hungry, cold or frightened. Given
cause, a good child will cry and a good
dog bark-but 80 will q normally
peaceful adult swear, shout or slam
doors under the stress Of violent emo
ton!
TAKEN by and large, dogs are
friendly, peaceable and sociable. II
they were not, two dog owners could
hardly be neighbors, and most GER
tainly five or six hundred owners could
not band together to hold dog show,
bench.ng their dogs side by side, walk
ing them in the same barrow aisles,
displaying them in the same small
show rings. And without dog shows
much of the spice and color of human
and canine association would be lost.
The dog show for the dog lover
takes the place Of the horse race for
the horse lover, yet is far more
personal and intimate thing. Given
even q reasonably good specimen and
q few dollars, any owner Of a reg
istered dog can enter his beloved ami
NAL, in one show or many, and see
how he stacks up beside others OF the
breed. Few own horses and fewer can
race them, but those who can and do
own dogs have proved that participa-
ton Is far more fun than grandstand
kibitzing. A dog show is glorified
country fair, with competition, food,
gossip. argument, companionship OF
dog and man, and in many cases a
colored ribbon or silver trophy to take
home. For q small investment very
few sporting events give the return a
dog show does, and as more and more
people discover this, dog shows are
increasing and entries doubling all
over the United States.
This part Of the country has It's
