loss in order to build up an orderly
market which will be present tomorrow
and next year and ten years hence.
The expansion of Montana refineries
has provided a market for all present
crude production but that is not all
The refined products must be sold
The problem is not solely that of the
refiner. 1t is the problem of the pro-
Queer. And realizing this, the producers
have in many instances thrown their
resources behind the refners, pledging
themselves to help the fight to gain
expanded markets and hold them
When the California operators felt
the pressure of Montana products on
the Inland Empire markell highly
lucrative market, incidentally they
fought back with every means at their
command. So it was that they headed
off Montana rail rates which made it
possible for Montana to compete in that
territory The matter was heard be-
fore the ICC and while Montana was
forced to lose the 1899 gasoline bust
ness, decision has been handed down
which makes it possible for Montana to
get a foothold in that territory
There is little question but that the
Inland Empire is the natural market

Billings refineries. In due course of
time Montana is going to win over
the Inland Empire market 1t may
mean that some oil operations will be
conducted without great deal of pro-
fit for some time to come. but the
trade battle will be won. The success
of that trade battle is essential to sta
bilizatiOn of the Montana oil industry on
a 20-year basis.
Right now there is apparently all the
oil that the market will absorb but
every authority with whom we have
talked in recent weeks is agreed that
with the coming of spring, there will
not be enough oil from present wells
to supply the present established mar
kets. The refinery markets must and
WILL be expanded, to give adequate
volume for economical operation, and
that in turn means increased demand
for crude. Refinery CAPACITY greatly
exceeds the CAPACITY of all oil wells
in Montana. Next spring. we look for
an orderly program of dniIling to de-
velop more crude NECESSTTATED by
the needs of refiners
AS the market becomes firmly estab-
lished and the refiners' position becomes
more secure through increased volume.

of crude to a point where the operators
can afford to step out and develop new
supplies Of crude. Leases that have

Youth Army EnroIIs
In u. S. Sofety Drive

Prevention of home and farm ac-
cldents. reported by the National
Safety Council as causing more
deaths and injuries in this country
annually than automobiles. is the
purpose of the fifth annual cam
paign for the discovery and removal
of accident hazards. launched here
October % as part of a nationwide
undertaking of the American Red
Gross.
The school children of Libby will
take part in this campaign. it was
announced by Miss Angela Huchala,
chairman of the Junior Red Cross
Chapter.
These boys and girls. she said.
will be serving as members of a
national youth army of 100000
pupils of public, private and par
ochial schools, who will take home
check lists distributed by the Red
Cross and will seek the cooperation
of their families in making a care
full examination of their homes and
surroundings to find and remove
all possible causes of accidental
death and injury
These hazards in the home. =
Miss Huchala pointed out. are a
serious menace because they are
commonly unrecognized Last year
$1,000 persons lost their lives and
4,650,000 were injured 10000 of
them permanently a result of
home accidents The decrease in
the home accident death total. from
$4,000 in 1896, shows what can be
done in this direction through CO.
operative and persistent effort"
The Red Cross check list. which
includes a note to parents suggest
ing. the formation Of discussion
groups IN accident prevention
enumerates the common home ac-
cldent hazards under the follow.
ing type-of-aceident headings. Falls
and broken bones. burns and scalds
asphyxiation and suffoeation. cleo.
tric shock, bleeding and infection
poisoning. and gun shot wounds.
Discussing the farm accident
phase Of the prevention campaign
Miss Huchala stressed the fact thai
more persons are killed while al
work III agricultural pursuits than ir
any other occupation.
Last year she said. there were
more than 100000 accidents on the
farms of America and 1900 of then
were fatal It is apparent that
there Is no one who has greater
need for being accident-minded thar
the farmer He is usually far re.
moved from doctors and hospitals
and the nature Of his work is haz.
ardous.
The two principal agents of farm
accidents are, first, machinery. ano
second, livestock According to re.
cent surveys they account for one.
half to tWo-thirds of all farm ac.
cldents. In addition to these, the
he'd Cross check list sets forth the
hazards of the farm under four
other headings: Tools and equip.
ment, the farm yard, the farm home
and buildings.
BY cooperating with the school
children and the Red Cross in max
ing good use of these check lists
the adult population of this com.
munity can effectively aid in re-
duclng the number of deaths and in
luries caused by accidents of this
nature"

time obligations to relieve the suf.
ferlngs Of War-stricken people.
All affected nations. with fine ex.
ception of Germany, made known
their immediate needs and to what
extent the American Red Cross
could help That help has been
given, as you no doubt noticed
through recent news dispatches. and
last week the American Red Cross
made available fund of one million
dollars to continue this aid. How
ever, aid given European Red Cross
societies thus far warrants little
attention in view of the possible
eventualities for which the Red
cross now must prepare itself to be
ready.
Must Expand Efforts
In addition to the present emer-
gency, the Red Cross here at home
must continue to expand, both ma
tionally and locally, its normal serv-
ices OF disaster relief preparedness,
It's social aid to service and ex-
service men of the u. S. army and
navy which are expanding. and to
war veterans and their families: its
nursing services; the training Of
volunteers In first aid, life saving
and home safety; the work Of spe-
clal volunteers in Braille for the
Dlind, making garments and can
nlng food for the needy, and others
Membership in the Red Cross has
increased steadily for the past eight
years to where the organization in
It's services now is more inclusive
than at any time in the past eighteen
years. With this growth, expansion
OF services during this next year
necessarily must be interpreted by
much greater membership than
ever before in peace-time.
Early this last summer plans were
carefully laid to secure this in
crease in membership needed for
further development of our peace
time services. With the larger de-
mands which may grow out Of the
present emergency this member
ship Increase will not be sufficient
to meet the needs.
Every Adult Should Join
Less than month remains to en-
large our staff Of volunteer Roll
Call workers in the 1900 Midwest
chapters in sufficient number to
guarantee that every adult in ev-
cry county be approached with the
invitation to join the Red Cross.
Earnestly, and in all sincerity. we
are asking your help fn making this
need for all possible volunteer
Roll Call workers known
through your newspaper We make
this request feeling that YOU all
ways have supported the cause Of
the Red Cross whenever II, has faced +
