in the present European conflict,
for the first time over a period
of eight hundred years, Eng
land Is in the "Blackout."
In Great Britain, the rights of
citizens that accrued from the
struggle of centuries have been
swept away for the Duration of
the war. England's electoral
system is abolished. Suffrage
rights, supposedly, the dearest
possessions Of the free man,
have been suspended in war
emergency. Freedom Of the
press, of speech and of assembly,
are gone. The freedom from

Wilkes established is gone. No

Potential Manhood
The children of today, will
save the world Of tomorrow, if
the older heads will only do
their duty, says, Robert M. Hut
chins., President of Chicago
university, in an address to the
freshmen, and advised them to
prepare themselves for the task
of rebuilding the world after
the present war, "No matter
who wins the war, whether
America, goes into it or not the
task and reconstruction are more
important than the war ITSELF"
We know says the educator,
that the world has been brought
to its present pass by stupidity,
ignorance, selfishness and greed.
The hope that the rising genera
tioh will be more enlightened
than its predecessors is the only
hope we have" :.
World Conditions
During the first World War,
England encountered but few
men on the opposite side in high
command in the prosecution of
the war, overly difficult with
which to cope. But in the midst
of the present European con-
fict, against Nazi ideology, the
case is far different. In the pres
ent war, Adolph Hitler, is the
outstanding unbalanced polite
al genius with which the states
manship of England, and al
Europe for that matter, must
cope. Tn dealing with Hitler or
the continent of Europe, the
rest Of the world stands on the
sidelines in composite awe, won

The Root of the Disease
While Adolph Hitler is a SYM
tom of Europe's Ethical decease,
he is not the decease himself.
The prime causation Of Hitler
and Hitlerism in Europe is buri-
ed deep in Europe's long career
of duplicity and double dealing.

Nevil, connected that Herr Hitler
and national socialism are the
products of the defeat of great
nation in war and its react.
against confusion and distress
which followed the harsh terms
of the Versailles treaty. 1t
would be idle to deny the great
achievements Of the man who
restored to the German nation
it's self-respect and it's disciplin-
ed order. That Hitler is a very
b ard statesman to match, is
evidenced in his shrewd manner
of stating mad in ustifying his
detectives. Hitler, has not lied
to the world in stating his goal,
but the same cannot be said OF
him in his manner Of justifylng
his goal or detectives. In the
latter case, he simply distorts
the truth to suit his purpose
It's at this point that he has been
able to keep a jump ahead OF
Europe. Hitler's justification
for invading Poland is a vital
case in point.

which is not always the truth,
are always able to frame an ex-

at his word in the statement OF
his intentions to invade Poland.
But Hitler, in making out case
for public consumption to justi-
fly his invasion Poland, stated
| what was the reverse Of the
truth-mistreatmet Of German
minorities in Poland. Poland was
mot only invaded but dismember

Then we witnessed the ACCIDEN-
TAIL discovery of what seems to be
the greatest of Montana oil fields, the
Cut Bank oil field-a field where the
oil comes from a consistent sand
stone which was once the beach on a
great island, known now as part OF
the Sweetgrass Arch. Through the
discovery of this field, with its re-
markably consistent record Of pro-
Queer after producer, we learned OF
the theory of accumulation of oil on
ancient shorelines where the feather
ing OUT of sandstone creates rne
closure that is ordinarily provided
by the arch of dome or anticline.
Oil, floating on top of water, seeks
the highest level, and so we find oil
trapped in lensing sandstones Of the
ancient beach that existed on the
flanks of the Sweetgrass Arch in the
days when the land, surrounded by
warm tropical ocean, was inhabited
by dinosaurs.
From the record of Cat Creek we
know that the most highly profitable
production is that from sandstone.
usually there is minimum of dry
holes in sand field and the yield is
consistent, if not spectacular. The
history Of Cut Bank field is not that
of spectacular flowing wells, as in
East Texas. The reason is LACK
OF HYDROSTATIC PRESSURE. Oil
fields producing oil with heavy water
pressure are the ones which make
the important history Yet north
Montana has had no oil field in which
heavy hydrostatic pressures have been
evidenced, until the discovery OF
North Cut Bank, which is the subject
of this publication.
Rainbow's End presents a clear
picture of the new developments in
the Montana oil history which should
offer a greater opportunity for profit
than ever before, as we see it. At no
time has a member of this organiza-
ton had as much concrete informa-
ton to guide him At no time have
we been able to measure the posi-
bilities with the guidance of past de-
velopments, as well as now.
The publication is illustrated to
show the theories of the accumulation
of oil in the Sweetgrass Arch area.
which corresponds to the Sabine up
lift in East Texas, and which has
many of the same characteristics in
the producing formation, producing
horizons and drilling depths. Recent
developments have brought revelations
more important than the wells drilled
and upon those facts we commend the
area to the careful consideration of

'RAINBOW.S END"

0NE of the finest publications in
the history of this organization
was issued during the past week
and it has been a source of great
satisfaction 30 hear the enthusiastic
comments.
Rainbow's End" is the result of
FIFTEEN YEARS of study and OBJ
servation in the Montana oil industry.
We have many reasons to believe that
we are getting close to Rainbow
End" which reasons are clearly set
forth in this publication.
A word of explanation Of the cover
is necessary, however. The illustra-
ton, covering both the front and back
pages, shows a complete oil struc-
ture-an actual photograph A rain
bow, in colors, spans the arch of the
anticline, and the booklet must be laid
wide open to recognize the significance
of the impressive illustration.
The structure is Montana pic
ture book structure, where the slop
ing formations can be seen, dipping
off down the slope Of the fold, while
uneroded rocks actually show the
overturn of the fold In the picture
the true dome, which is also reflected
by the topography, appears on the
back of the publication. This picture
was taken with panorama camera
by the author and copies have been
furnished to many biologists, educa-
tors and others, for use to illustrate
the principles of geology.
The terrain covered by the photo
graph is about three miles, in which
short space Mother Nature erected
a perfect illustration of the under
ground traps for oil which exist
under the soil of Montana. Mother
Nature has yielded up nearly $780,
100000 worth of oil and gas from
scattered few of these structures dur
ing the pioneering years when men
were beginning to know something
of the secrets of the manner in which
she has hidden her treasures.
Over the years we have seen the
evolution of new theories and in
turn new sciences in the development
of oil. We have seen in Cat Creek
the remarkable productivity of a
sharp-dip fold, where 600 acres of oil
land thus for produced nearly $23-
OOO,OOO.OO worth of oil from shallow
sands. WITH THE DEEPER SANDS
INFESTED.
We have seen low dip lime fields,
Kevin-Sunburst and Pondera, produce
lesser amounts per acre but over vast
areas. We have seen Kevin-Sunburst
alone yield $4,000, 100000 worth of oil,
from wells ranging up to 5000 bar
rels per day, initial production.

our members and others interested
in royalty purchases.
Added to the geological facts is
the greatly improved market outlook.
We are emerging from the valley of
the shadow" with a bright future
in prospect, as new refineries with a
total capacity of 5000 barrels will
start taking oil during the present
year. This means that increased drill
ling will be required to offset natural
decline of present producing wells,
and as new markets open up, new pro-
duction must be developed to care
for them. We do not forsee a short
age of oil but believe that higher
prices will be an early development
after these several refineries start
operating.
We were interested in statement
in the Magazine of Wall Street, in a
review of the national oil situation,
which applies to the Montana situa-
ton:
"The investor who wishes to par
ticipate in the coming growth of oil
company profits should watch all
news regarding the control of crude
oil production and should have the
courage to act while security prices
reflect uncertainty, rather than grow
ing assurance of coming prosperity. It
may be true that the time has not yet
come when the oils should be bought
on margin but there can be little
doubt that the oils should be bought
for investment, unless the year 1889
is to be another 1887. Total stocks
of all liquid products are about the
same as a year ago. while stocks of
gasoline are 100000 barrels smaller
and demand goes surging ahead to
the accompaniment Of prices which
can only trend upward"
Our new refinery programs are
based largely on the Midcontinent
price of crude, so we are interested
in the national picture more than ever
before. The price of crude in north
ern Montana will now advance with
the Midcontinent price. Recently we
learned of the first price increase
in Pennsylvania Pennsylvania price
changes always precede price changes
in the Midcontinent They are the
leaves which show which way the
wind is blowing and the direction is
now toward higher prices.
With the assurances of a market
for Montana oil, with higher prices,
the new publication Rainbow s End"
will mean much to our members.
Those who desire copy of this pub
