Hits Success Shortcut Idea.

It wasn't very many months ago
that Sinclair Lewis made his choice
remark that he would like to see his
wife, Dorothy Thompson, in the White
House 50 he could write column on
MY Day"
Since then, however, he has pub
lished q new book toured the coun-
try. organized an argument in sup
port of his distaste for Dale Carnegie
and given deep thought as to who
should occupy the White House. So
last night he offered Washington a
new choice for next President; Rob-
ert Hutchins, president of the Uni
versity of Chicago.
II don't think Dorothy Thomson
would be as good as Robert Hutchins, u
Mr.. Lewis admitted to an audience
at Constitution Hall. II don't think
she'd have quite his control"
Takes in Many Topics.
Mr.. Lewis, adopting for himself the
role OF average man." spoke under
the auspices of the Washington
Forum and was introduced by Mark
Sullivan, the columnist. He was billed
to discuss How to Make Your Friends
Go Like the Wind" Before he jabbed
his rapier at Dale Carnegie and the
thought in How to Win Friends and
influence People" however, he dis
coursed on the life of lecturer, the
essential oneness of Stain, Hitler and
Mussolini. the meaning of liberalism
the virtues Of DR.. Hutchens and the
meaningless Of party labels.
America is really safe for democracy,
he said and he cited the attitudes
OF chambermaid in San Francisco
hotel and brakeman on a train in
Ohio to prove it.
Liberalism is an active belief that
no one system, religious or political,
IS correct In every detail or has the
right to seek to correct or destroy
other systems"
Gives Negative Definition.
He pronounced this definition with
feeling in carrying, nasal voice and
then attacked the vagueness of the
words belief" and right" and re-
defined liberalism negatively:
Liberalism is not a belief that by
killing men you can kill their ideas.

IN OBJ MADDUX, for 19 years

run with that pack on
Monday was the best he has ever had.
Meeting at Mountsville at II o'clock,
they drew the Mount farm, owned by
Mr.. and Mrs. Jim Ferguson; started
fox there that ran In a circle to
Egypt, owned by Mr.. and Mrs Walter
Bowes; from there crossed DR.. Tom
Neill's place, and put the fox in on
the Creek after short run.
They then drew back from there
to Egypt, started another fox that ran
straight up Beaver Dam Crossing.
Irving Beavers place. Ben Norman's
farm, the Holland Potters. circled on
to the place Of Louis Stoddard. jr., to
Mrs. Dishman's, then straight away
to Airmont, and on to Bluemont.
Here the fox carried them across the
mountain road between .Airmount and
Unison. The field pulled up here as
the foothills of the Blue Ridge Noun
tains made rough going and they were
many miles from home. But Maddux,
with Buddy Ward and Charlie George,
whips, and Mrs. Anne Leith Waddell,
went on with the hounds to the top
OF the mountain and along the ridge
to the Weather Bureau, where these
hard riders also pulled up as the fox
carried hounds down the other side
of the Blue Ridge Mountains towards
the Shenandoah River and going was
too rough for tired horses.
At 7:30 that night Maddux and the
whips arrived back at Middleburg, but
the "a hounds were still running the
mountain.
After getting his supper, Maddux
went back to the Weather Bureau on
top Of the pountain, in = truck, to
try and nnd some Of his hounds.
Seven Of them returned home after
he had left. He met some on the road
as he went toward the mountain, and
with much blowing Of his horn he COL
1ected the rest Of the pack on top Of
the mountain and they were glad to
hop ION the wagon" and get ride

Il don't know what luck is but
it is one of the most important
forces in the world in moulding
human destinies."
There Is something about luck and
We are lead to this statement by in
timately observing successful investors
over a period of Is years There are
certain of our members who have
faculty for PICKING WINNERS
nearly every time How they do it.
we do not know. We are guided in
our royalty buying by the wishes of
our members. We submit as many
properties as we can find in given
area. it being our task to determine
that title is good and that it Is on
structural condition giving some prom
Use of oil or gas production. Only
Mother Nature knows whether there
is more or less oil under that given
tract But some people pick from
our offerings the big winners. time
after time. They do not do it by
buying some of everything offered.
That rule DOES NOT WORK So
we many times stop and ask: HOW
DO THEY DO IT?
The man a thousand miles away
from am oil field, armed with maps
and reports and good history Of de-
velopment is in better position to buy
ROYALTIES intellgently than the man
without maps and reports, residing
in the oil field. We have seen this
proven dozens of times We were
given our first lesson in Cat Greek
II years ago when we bought royal
ties on land that looked so close to
production that we concluded it
could not fail Had we looked at a
map we would have known that the
tract in question was so low struc-
turally as to be condemned.
So it is that we see people armed
with the same information and identi-
cal opportunities and one man picks
the winnerS-not every time but
enough times to make himself nice
income out of a relatively small in
veStment Sometimes our own choices
have an influence. of course.
As an example, we bought lot of
royalties III North Cut Bank We
have known in our own minds for five
years past that this was an oil field.
We could not suspect that there
would be flowing oil wells in the
Moulton sand, to give us the Darling
pool. but we were sufficiently con-
WINGED that it was an oil field that
we bought a large number of royal
ties around the Yukon discovery well,
drilled in 1888 We might have
BOUGHT a large number of royalties
on the Lungren farm-could doubtless
have done so-but we bought royalties
on either side. Our members own
royalties on the johnson farm, offset
ting on the south. We believe that
the next well would be on the John
son farm We missed it by 1880 feet
Had our investment been on the
Lungren farm instead of the johnson
farm. our members would today be
sharing a production of 70 barrels
per day. On the basis of the johnson
investment, this ONE producer would
be paying our members about so per
cent per annum on their investment.
Montana oil and mining journal. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1931-1953, 1938-12-31

However. the johnson farm is going
to produce if ANY other farm pro-
duceS so our members will have num-
bered among them the LUCKY ones
who picked among others. the John
son royalty.
On the other hand we feel that out
of our membership the ones who
bought royalties on North Cut Bank
viii be pointed out as the LUCKY
ONES, just as back in 1884 the ones
who had ''pawned their shirts'' to
buy Cut Bank royalties in the worst
year of the depression, were looked
upon as lucky. We do not agree
with that theory because we recognize
the fortitude that was required of the
early Cut Bank royalty investors.
There is the further factor, however,
of those whose properties were swift
~ drilled and large, production devel-
oped; of the peoplelwho found them
selves with an income of several humid
red dollars a month as contracted with
some with an equal investment on an
other set of properties getting only
few dollars a month.
Of course, the fact always remains
that success is always proportional
The man who has only 800 invested
and gets so per cent per annum can
not retire on that income of $50
per year But the man with $1,000
invested at so per cent quickly feels
the Influence of $75 per month com
ing in
So it becomes apparent that in adj
dition to intelligence in investment,
and in addition to fortitude there is
the further factor of necessity Of more
than one investment In other words,
investment in royalties is a PRO
GRAM rather than single venture.
There are some who make a single
investment and make a big winning
but it is the exception that proves
the rule in our experience.
We look forward to the New Year
with a lot of confidence. We feel
that by the end of 1889 there will be
a market for every barrel of Montana
crude oil at a good price. This is not
a wistful statement but is based on
the statistical position of the oil in
dustry in the world at large, in the
United States in general and in Mon
tana in particular The entire out
look is good. We look for no ele-
ments of surprise, unless North Cut
Bank should start flooding the mar
ket with gusher production-in which
case, in the vernacular, WE CAN
TAKE IT Here is one place where
we are thoroughly fortified, even if
we never buy for our members another
Darling pool royalty.
We believe that PROSPERITY is
ahead for our members We have
tried hard to get into their hands
some royalties in this district that will
give each some participation in future
development. We confidently expect
that the greatest drilling activity will
center in North Cut Bank and in the
Midway district, on the east edge of
the Cut Bank gas pool, where the
Cassidy well opened up some high
gravity oil in the top of the Madison
lime
The Midway district is the subject
of our next publication. 1t will be

confess that there is some element of
luck yet in our experience luck is
combined with ACTION.
Only one man in a hundred all

according to Mr.. Farmer He submits
the following statistics:
At 35, five of the 100 are dead;
one is wealthy; 10 are welI-tO-do;
40 live on their earnings So have
made no progress.
At IS. 10 are dead; one is veal

At 81, 20 are dead; one is veal

earnings; 80 are not self-suppOrting
At 85, 80 are dead; one is veal
thy; four well-to-dO; II live on their
earnings; 81 are not self-suppOrting.
Why" asks Mr.. Farmer. sis only
one man in 100 of equal ability and
equal opportunities rich at 90? Luck
is the answer. Thrift has much to
do with it, But success will be lack
ing unless a man has excellent bust
ness opportunities, good health,
healthy family and a frugal wife.
Doctors bills have swamped many
careers. So have extravagant wives.
Early marriages before a man has
accumulated good bank account are
responsible for many failures. Once
a man gets going, the rest is easy.
But il he marries before he has
good start, he often finds difficulty
in getting started at all.

The announcement that the Public

for loans and grants to construct new
buildings for the Juvenile and Municipal

While no funds will become available
