More Oil Expected.

TULSA, Okla, Aug. 20 (Pl.-Some
oil men expressed the opinion today
that the United States soon will
step up its aid to Britain and Russia
through lending on additional
tankers and aviation gasoline.
This view was reached after a
study regarding East Coast sup
plies. While Petroleum Co-ordina-
tor Ickes has been warning that the
East Coast faces gasoline short
age, some oil men here pointed out
that:
l. Stocks of gasoline and light
fuel oils in that section have in
creased at an average rate of about
100000 barrels daily during the five
weeks ending August 9, compared
to $1,000 barrels daily during July
of 1910 and $4,000 barrels daily for
the July average of the two years,
1899 and 1910.
2. That transfer Of so coastal
tankers to British service has re-
suited in a stepup by the industry
of it's transportation system to cover
their loss, at least temporarily.
3. That respective measures to
bring about conservation of gaso-
line and fuel supplies in the East
may be designed to cope with an
impending situation-such as di-
version of additional tankers.
Tankers Are Requested.
Such tankers for Britain already
have been requested. 1t was ex-
pected in oil circles here that tank
ers also may be needed to send
aviation gasoline to Russia.
The Independent Petroleum AS
sociation of America declared that
ANY future actions that may fur
ther reduce the tanker fleet will
probably have a serious effect upon
these supplies"
Another aid for Britain move
ment, the oil for Britain campaign
launched in Texas, failed of support
from many companies which de-
clared they were unable to over
come the legal and technical prob
lens involved
The companies pointed out thai
among their difficulties was the
fact they were unable to give away
oil without consent of stockholders
In the field. the Oil and Gas
Journal reported 674 competitions

The Heart Heuler
Dear Aunt Sue

Oedr AullI QUE,
The other night at the tour
nament I noticed a dashing
young Romeo trailing Pam all
around the gym. It seemed to
me what he would never quite
catch up with her but kept
within a close enough range so
that he could pick her up if she
should have fallen down. Do
you dare give me any dope on
this great big handsome man?
A curious bystander.
Dear ByStander,
That handsome brute you
were gazing at through your
google eyes was center on the
Hysham team. The first time
he looked into her eyes was
several weeks ago when Hardin
played Hysham. During the half
of the game, when the players
came trooping back in, he ran
into Pam as she came around
the corner with a box of home
made candy. I truthfully can't
say whether it was she or the
box Of candy that he stayed
within picking up" distance of.

Dear Aunt Sue,

Dear Aunt Sue,
Why is it that something al
ways has to happen, before we
can get our eyes open? 1t
seemed to most of us, that Ruth
Pitsch was unusually quiet be-
fore the Rosebud game. Since
the tournament is over, she's
been going around looking like
a sick dove. Could you give me
the low-doWn on her guy?
An Admirer.
Dear Admirer.
Since you are so curious, I
suppose I can tell you, on the
condition that you promise you
will never breathe a word about
it to anyone. Her Jeff" is cap
tain of the Rosebud team. This
IS his last year in high school,
and as a whole, the girls are
really quite ga-ga about him.
From what I've heard, that is
about all I can say. If you
want to know any more, ask
Ruth, she's been getting letters
regularly from Rosebud.
Aunt Sue.

Highway Pdtrolmdn
Addresses Students

MI. Schultz, state highway pa.
trolman, spoke to the student
body on traffic safety, Monday
morning, Feb. IT. The speaker
stated that the science of NOV
ing people quickly and safel.
involves three Els. They are a.
follows:
/. Engineering, which includes
road building, and making cars
safer for driving.
2. Education, which means
learning how to drive and do
ing it safely, as well as all 9TH
er factors involving safety edu-
cation.
Most commercial truck driv-
ers can well be called knights
of the road" because of their
good careful driving.
8. Enforcement of the law.
The second part of Mr.
Schultz's talk was about acct
dents.
Most accidents, he said, &C.
cur from As P. M. and about
9 pm. Sunday is the worst day
for accidents, whereas Monday
is the safest. Driving on the
center line or the wrong side
of the road is the cause of most
accidents; speeding ranks sec,
ond, and the third worst cause
is intoxicated drivers.
State highway records show
that SO persons were killed or
dry roads and % were killed or
icy roads; sc men and 2 women
were killed between the ages oil
40 and "A; 1873 persons were
killed in Montana in 1910, caus-
ing over $63 900 worth of dam
age. Most of the people were
killed on state highways.
"Your responsibility is that
you owe it to yourself and 9TH
ers to live" said Mr.. Schultz.
Driving a car is a full-time
job. High school students are
capable of driving well, but they
don't always do sensible things
when they are behind the
Wheel" remarked the speaker
1--WE need cooperation with the
highway department if we are
going to be alive to tell about
it in 1941," was Mr.. Schultz's
final remark.

Funny. Funnies

This week, children, we shall
discuss one of the higher types
of literature-the funny maya
zine.
These gems have developed
during the past decade in the
United States and are probab-
ly an outgrowth of the depres-
sion or some other terrible cal
amity, for they were originally,
as the name implies, intended
to raise the spirits of the mas
ses.
However, during recent years
an alarming thing has happened
they have gone adventurous
BY this we mean that the Bat
Man, Tex Thompson, Flash Cor
don, The Lone Ranger, Buck
Rogers, King of the Royal
mounted, Mandrake the Magic
ian, and other quaint characters
too numerous to mention, have
infested the funny magazines.
The prize of them all is Super
Man. He is known among the
'ioW-brows as "Soupey : man.
which is a corruption of the or
iginal name. We believe that
Super Man is a legendary char
acter, and any resemblance of
his to persons living or dead is
purely coincidental.
For some reason as yet I'M
known, the faculty of Hardin
high school disapproves strong
" of students reading these in
class or study hall. Some of the
Drawer of the student body have
dared to go against the wishes
of their 'superiorS, and have
been caught with loot, as il
were.
In view of this fact, it seems
desirable for students to dis
continue this practice, especially
immediately before or after six
weeks tests, as teachers are
troubled at this time with the
common or garden variety Of
nervous prostration. This condi-
ton is not appreciably improved
by the sigh of students C?)
! reading funny books. The rea-
son for such a reaction is un-
determined. Student expert,
ments to discover why, are no
| advisable.

GEORGE WASHINGTON

George Washington. This
name is intimately blended with
whatever belongs most essential
ly to the prosperity, the liberty
the free Institutions, and the
renoWn of our country. This
name has power to rally a ma
ton. It shone amid the storm
of war. It was a beacon light to
aid and guide; it was a meteor
to repel the foes. It attracted to
itself a whole peoples conf
fidence love, and respect. This
name has descended with time,
spreading over the whole earth,
uttered in all languages. 1t will
forever be announced with al
fectionate gratitude by everyone
in whose heart there shall arise
an aspiration for human rights
and human liberty.
The youth of America hold it
as a model from which to shape
their lives. Washington stood at
the head of the New World. His
age and his country were equal
ly full of wonders, of which he
was chief.
Since the time Of his birth
the world has changed in sci
ence, in arts, in the extent OF
commerce, in the improvement
of navigation, and in all that re-
lates to the civilization of man,
but his principles still hold good
for today.
Washington was placed at the
head of the fidSt government to
have a written constitution of a
pure representative principle. 1t
was a government established
by the people, for the people,
and of the people.
Could so great an undertaking
be successful without the extra
ordinary and unwavering faith
that was put in him who stood
at the helm?
The influence of Washington's
example is so strong that we still
celebdate his bidthday with no
less sincere admiration than was
felt years ago.
We can follow those who are
trying with all their might to
guide us away from the road to
war.
We can have noble ideals to-
ward which to strive.
And, most of all, we can be
RIO Washington himself, who, mn
cooperation with his loyal coun-
trymen, freed oud land from tr-
ranny and oppression so that
from that time on the citizens OF
the United States might have to
life, liberty, and the pursuit OF
happiness.
Yes, may we all remember, on
this day, Washington, who is
indeed, Father of his country.

The 194l baSketbau tOurna-

Rosebud IS to % in three min
utes overtime, after a tie of %
to % at the end of the game.
Worden lost to Custer IL to %.
The Thursday night session
ended with Lodge Grass defeat
ing Forsyth and Hardin defeat
ing Hysham. During the inter-

Friday afternoon Rosebud
downed Forsyth "a to 80 and
Worden defeated Hysham. The
Friday night games ended with
Sumatra losing to Lodge Grass,
and Custer losing to Hardin.
The finals Saturday night
were played before a packed
house and presented one of the
most colorful basketball spec
tacles ever witnessed in Hardin.
From the time the first whistle
blew for the beginning OF the
Rosebud Sumtara game the en-.
thusiasm of the crowd mounted.
This was a close game and an
especially interesting one be-
cause, contrary to expectation,
Sumatra had defeated Rosebud
in the first game of the tour
| nament. The score was in favor
| of Rosebud, which placed Rose
bud third and Sumatra fourth.
The Hardin-Lodge Grass game
for first place was close for
the first quarter, with Hardin
leading 4 to /. The remainder
| of the game was an easy vic
tory for Hardin, the final score
being IS to 8.
The Hardin pep squad, who
| drilled between the halves of the
! championship game, were CIV
! en- an enthusiastic hand. They
| we're accompanied in their drill
by their charming little mascot,

an OronyX drill majors costume.
At the conclusion of their drill,
while the girls were giving a
yell for the Hardin Bulldogs, an
orange ball was rolled from the
| sidelines and pursued furiously
by a Boston Bull pup adorned
! with an orange bow, who cap
tured his prize and carried it
triumphantly back to the side.
lines, much to the delight OF
the spectators.
The trophies were presented
by w. J. Shirley, superintendent
of Hardin schools. Four silver
plaques we're awarded to Hardin,
Lodge Grass, Rosebud, and Su-
matra, for first, second, third
and fourth places respectively.
In addition, the two basketballS
used we're given to the first

fobs. The second place team
will receive silver basketball
fobs.

SPORTSMANSHIP

Are you a good sport? This
question concerned both the
players and the spectators that
attended the District S basket
ball tournament, last week. For
the most part we can class our
selves as a good sport, since it
was a very clean tournament
with. the exception of a few
harsh words that were grumbled
when the referee made a de-
cision that did not satisfy ev-
eryone. The referee is Just an

The final championship game
of the tournament was played
between Hardin and Lodge
Grass, the two keenest rivals.
In this game Hardin cagers
trounced the Lodge Grass five

game was very fast but the

throughout the game to make
it a D"ch-CVer.
