CUT BANK
Landowners

Nearly three quarters of a million dol
lars was distributed among Montana roy
atty owners during the year just ended,
showing a gain of some $12S, 900 over
the year 1888, which was the low year of
the last decade, owing to market transit

From the inexpIicabIe development of
an 10000, OOO-fOOt gasser in the north
end of the main producing part of the
field we know that there are even great
err possibilities in store for us in Gut

greater wells ON the north and possibly
the west flanks of the field.
Kevin-Sunburst paid its royalty own
ers $50, 900 more in 1880 than in 1888
although few of us realized that the
market situation had improved. The fact
that some 10000 barrels of storage oil
was run from Kevin-Sunburst field
shows that the increase might have been
much greater had the oil been run from
producing leases rather than from old
storage.
Kevin-Sunburst field has thus far paid
royalty owners So, 722, 455. This field
is about One-sixth drilled out and mod
ern methods of acidiZation are expected
to further increase Its productive area
to the north, northwest, west and east.
In this field we adopted a top limit in
vestment of 30 per cent per acre-which
means that an acre of ground must pro-
duce 500 barrels OF 81 oil to pay out.
We have seen the average developed ac-
re yield approximately 1890 barrels per
acre, which proves the value of our
measuring stick. Our average invest

production of a little more than 800 bar

market was by no means stabilized, all
though new refineries and increased con-
sumption of established refineries in
creased to a point where the market for
oil exceeded actual production by 192,925
barreIs-this in addition to the use of
7,133,7 TAP barrels of oil from Wyoming
for use in Montana refineries. The Mon

Cut Bank field paid royalty owners
S44392 during 1899, bringing its tot
al royalty payments up to- $2,56S, 120.
Few members of this organization realiz-
ed in 1882 when one doubtful well was
starting to produce north of Cut Bank
that they would have opportunity to par
ticipate in more than two and a half
million of dollars in the ensuing seven
years of depression. Those who recognize
ed the possibility have profited largely.
We bought royalties in this field on the
basis of wildcat" values. Our average
investment requires a return of less than
400 barrels per acre to pay ont. Already

NAUCURATION.OF
MEXICO'S PRESIDENT
VERY LARGE EVENT

The Inauguration of MeXico's
President, General Manuel Avila Ca
macho, on Sunday last, was an in
ternational event. Probably no
speech of a Mexican President has
been weighted with broader signifi-
canoe. President Camacha set the
course of Mexican foreign policy
more firmly than ever toward the
democratic ideal. This ideal is more
than a concept of national govern
ment; it is "way of life" that can
be practiced among nations as well
as among individuals. To that way
of life in the Americas, Mexico's new
President has dedicated his admins
tration.
The cordiality exhibited toward the
United States, both in President Ca
macho's address and in the welcome
accorded Vice-President-elect Wal
lace, is the more notable when it is
remembered that Mexico is the near
est "small neighbor" of what used
to be regarded by Latin Americans
as the COLOSSUS of the north" There
are still some important questions
the confiscation Of foreign-owned
lands in Mexico, for example-re-
naming to be settled. Nazi propa-
ganda has been extremely active to
build up a myth of new United
States imeprialism and to keep alive
any old suspicious that history books
may reveal. Still Mexico is not blind
ed by these attempts of Berlin to
"divide and rule" in the New World
as it has in the Old. At time when
the Spanish background of Latin
Americas culture is exploited by the
totalitarian Axis through General
Frances Spain, the President of one
of the leading Latin-American coun-
tries states:
For guiding our steps to safe paths,
there is no more luminous beacon
in this dark confusion than the demo-
cratic ideal in our internal affairs
and our decided adhesion in interna-
tional relations to the Pan-American
doctrine.
Evidently the Monroe Doctrine in
the Western Hemisphere is some
thing that those Monroe Doctrines"

FOOD VALUE OF BEER
LAUDED BY EXPERTS
Moderation Beverage Praised By
Doctors For Carbohydrate
And Protein Content

Scores of authorities are testifying
to the food value Of beer as the bev-
erage of moderation, it is pointed out
by Mr.. George Fl. Hooker, Secretary
Of the Brewers Institute Of Maryland,
Inc. For example, DR.. Winfield S.
Hubbard, formerly with the United
States Food and Drug Administration,
says: "Beer is a food -. contains the
two elements which furnish energy
and repair the human body, carbohy-
drates and proteins." He adds that
beer, because Of it's high calcium con-
tent, 10 often administered to preg.
nant women. We all know the say
ing, "Every baby TOOTH" The loss
Of teeth in child bearing is due to lack
Of calcium which can be supplied by
beer, milk and the green and yellow
vegetables.
DR.. Hubbard points out: 81 do not
know Of any food which is as easily
assimilated as beer it is almost
ready to be absorbed through the in
testinal wall as soon as it leaves the
mouth" According to many expe-
rienced observers and the statements
Of physicians, beer taken before re-
firing has q soothing and quoting
effect.
Describing beer as "the complete
food" he goes on to assert: "By long
contact with yeast, which has a high
vitamin content, beer acquires proper
ties which have a beneficial influence
on growth and have given satisfactory
results in the treatment Of certain
nervous disorders"

for Europe and Asia are not. For
in the New World the ideal of solid
arity is being voluntarily adopted by
smaller nations. President Camacho's
references to the United States were
applauded with an enthusiasm exceed
ed only by that manifested for con-
tinental solidarity. Underscoring his
words are his appointments to the
Mexican Cabinet, reported to be
without exception-men who under
stand and approve United States OBJ
jectives in this critical period OF
world history.
