one-half OF the royalty on 200 ac-

exploration first began. Later he
sold more of his interest for $50
an acre. retaining only a fourth Of
his original royalty.
So instead OF receiving nearly
$500 per day last month, his in

Operators Plan
Many Wells

while there are no announced
plans for large drilling campaigns,
the impression is that many wells
will have to be drilled this year to
keep pace with growing market
demands. There has been an all
time record market for crude this
winter and Montana refiners are
going into the spring gasoline season
with smaller gasoline stocks than
usual This is attributed to the
fact that the Montana gasoline
market has been larger than in
previous winters, due largely to the
favorable weather and open high
ways.
There were eight active wells in
the field, three having spudded and
two resumed operations.

between Dictator Hynkel and the

dental" With this paradOxical OPP
ener, The Great Dictator" pro-
ceeds to unfold the most brilliant
caricature of Chaphn's career.
Written directed produced

making from termination OF the

reshOOting. Critics are disagreed
on its merit. some adjudge it
the COMICS greatest. others, ex-
pecting lavish settings, wrote
sOurly.
The film has one handicap-its
very essence, woven of tragedy, is
not conducive to laughter. The
comedy, hilarious though it is,
turns bitter in the heart. The sat
ire, incisive and scintillating, is
too remindful of woe. 1t is, in
short, tragicomedy.
The cast is excellent throughout.
Charlie was born for the part-in

curtain speech, ending the picture
on a serious note, is a plea for
tolerance of all races, colors,
creeds, a prayer for humanity, for
a free world, for wiping out Of
greed, for more happiness in liv-

The story treats of the poor Jew,
the ghetto dweller, not of the pro-
feSsiOnal or scientist Jew as in
previous anti-NaZi themes. Not
cut out by accepted FilmtOwn pat

Chaplin remains the unsurpassed

change in our way of living. Ut tells
what to do with our mind and body
to stabilize them for any emergency;
it discusses THE various good organ

organize the town still further for the
good of America. 1t analyses propa-
ganda and fifth colurnnism and tells
how to meet them. 1t talks of sound
labor relations and how to check UNI

how to work with new corners in this
