or who bought royalty on another
mans land participated.
Likewise, the ones who will partici-
pate in great part of the million dol
lars of royalty earnings in 1912 will
be those who buy lands or buy royalties
NOW-ahead of development. Some
one will get the million dollars That
we know.
New producing areas MUST be de-
veloped in the future, similar to the
South pool of Cut Bank and the West
pool of Kelvin, to provide flush pro-
duction. That means that the person
who is alert enough to buy lands
AHEAD OF THE DRILL may be the
one who will get the great flush pro-
duction of next year and the years to
come. SOMEONE is going to own the
land on which the flush production for
future years is to be found.
Certain it is that the people who re-
ceived the million dollars in 1941 are
different group than the ones who
received million and a quarter dollars
in 1926. Most of that came from the
great producing farms in the east side

derson and other farms. Royalty own
ers on those farms received fortunes.
The landowners on Cut Bank field at
that time had little idea that they would
participate in a million dollars of row
atty money in a single year But now
they are the ones who are receiving
the fortunes.
1t follows that the way to participate
in these fortunes is to buy lands or
royalties in areas likely of development
in the future: not in the purchase of
ROYALTIES on the bonanza farms of 1926.
The year 1912 offers brand new,
fresh; clean opportunities, possibly
greater than in any previous year. The
person who missed out in 1926 is in
better position to make fortune from
1912 opportunities than at any time be-
fore, for the reason that he can Judge
the future by the past and he can see,
as never before, an established, perna-
nent market that is calling for MORE
oil to care for future demands.
In this day and age we must make
our investments REALLY COUNT, as
never before. The man who would get
ahead MUST put some of his money
to work in speculative enterprise that
will yield him the chance for more than
bank interest He must have an invest
ment in an enterprise that will keep
on going, no matter what happens.
That one industry is, of course, the oil
No matter what happens, pc

When we study the production fig
ures of the past year we see how serious
the matter of reserves has become.
Montana is today virtually a one-fie1d
state, since Cut Bank produced 5,74O,-
996 barrels out of the states total of
8,563,845 barrels.
SINTY-SEVEN PERCENT of the
states oil came from ONE field.
Except for the development of the
south extension of Cut Bank this year.
Montana would not have had enough
oil to supply established refinery de
mand.
The sensational wells of the Tribal
pool came at a time when the north
end of the field was in decline. Last
winter saw Cut Bank operators look
ing elsewhere for opportunity to de-
velop more production to care for their
requirements. Few thought that the
field would continue on southwark, be-
cause of the failure of pioneer prospect
ing wells farther south. Spring drilling
developed this great new pool.
If there had been no production from
the new South Tribal pool in Cut Bank
field this year, the oil picture in Mon
tana would have been less roseate. 1t
is too early to say that the new South
pool has been entirely defined, but it
is likely that the head is off" in this
pool. There will be few more 1000
barrels like the Jeffries we'll in that
immediate new area, because the gas
pressure has been relieved.
All other fields in the state produced
only 2,822,84o barrels-7,651 barrels
per day-about HALF enough for
Montana refineries which use Montana
crude.
There is no danger of the overnight
cessation of Cut Bank production but
we know that Cut Bank will continue
at this rate only so long as new pro-
ducing territory with resultant flush
production can be added. Operators
figure a decline of Is percent per an
mum in Cut Bank production. Accord
ingly, some new production MUST be
found to offset this decline in the years
to come.
So whereas this was great year for
the Indians, the coming years will see
new pools opened up-else Montana
refineries will be without OIL The lat
ter is improbable because the invest
ment in refineries is so great that the
owners will see to it that new reserves
are developed These refiners realize
that the Cut Bank production is top
heavy Cut Bank will drop off as did
Salt Greek and every other great oil
field-as -Sunburst field has done.
Kelvin produced the record total of T.
5o5 O05 barrels in 1926 as compared
with Cut Banks 1871 record of $780,
900 barrels. BY 1882 Kelvin was down
to l,319,401 barrels Incidentally, Kelvin
in 1871 got back above 100000 bar
rels for the first time since 1910
years. This was due largely to the
addition of new producing territory on
the West slope.
Who received the 81, 1928 earned
by Montana royalty oil in lo41?
The answer is: The owners of the
land and their assigns. That was large
" matter of chance. But it is a fact
that none participated in this million
dollars who made no EFFORT to par
ticipate. Only those who owned land

4 Thought for Today
Headlines or Victory?

Sufficient time has elapsed since the capture of eight submarine borne sabo- teurS was announced to permit calm consideration of such facts as have de- veloped publicly. On the basis of what is aScertainable, we believe that this epi- 0ode is the best illustration to date of the urgent need for unification of all war publicity under intelligent direction.
 Frequently we have criticized Washing ton for withholding information to which the public is entitled and which could do the enemy no good
 Here is a sensational instance of in- formation which we believe should not have been given publicity, for several reasons of which two will suffice to make the point Both the British and our Navy make point of refusing to publicize sub- marine sinkings, on the ground that 1t is good strategy to keep the Germans In ignorance, to the last possible moments, as to the fate of these agencies of de- Struction.
 How much more, then, should Hitler have been left to worry about his Sabo- teurs; to wonder why their scheduled sa- botage did not come off; to Waver whether to wait or to send substitutes who might not get caught; to vacillate in ignorance whether resident fifth column iStS, expected to help immigrant sabo- teurs, were at large or in custody. Again, one of the earliest psychological lessons learned by a cub newspaper reporter IS the power of suggestion. Let the papers report suicide by hitherto unthought ot poison, and a wave of such deaths with the same poison often follows. Let 1t be reported that so-and-so killed himself by jumping from such skyscraper, apd that building seems to become Mecca for those who have tired of living. Millions never had heard of the Horseshoe Curve at Altoona, or had no conception of its military importance
 Out of these there undoubtedly are $ few HitleriteS, few malcOntents, a few unrecognized maniacS who = to serve Hitler or to injure the United States or merely to do something sensational now know where to turn their attention. If these don't like Altoona, or live too far away, or find the curve too well guarded, they can turn to John Edgar Hoover's official list and choose another vital spot at which to strike.
 In organizing and directing the Federal Bureau of Investigation's current setup MT. Hoover has done, and is doing, marvellous job. No criticism of his love for headlines should detract from his very real achievements. But this war IS to preserve democracy, not to make head lines for anybody.

Need Something More

The Republican Party will need some thing more than horseshoeS if it expects to win the election race here in Connec- ticut this fall. Four-leaf clovers are all right in their place, too, but we doubt very much if singly or in punches they will influence the election one way or the other. It will be candidates and issues. If the Republicans can't dig them up then they might as well admit right now that Governor Robert A. Hurley and his associates have return ticket guar anteed them for next November.
 AS a matter of strict fact the Demo- cratic administration of Governor Hurley has so many things in it's favor now that we're not surprised Republicans are narshaling what forces they can so many months in advance. Unusual activity has been theirs all during 1922 in the in- terest of a winning ticket for the fall. AS yet it hasn't been decided upon nor have leaders determined what is going to be the best way of undermining public con- fidence in Governor Hurley As each day passes his political and administrative stature increases.
 Democrats weren't universally sure two years ago that the Public Works Commissioner who had been named by Dr. Wilbur L. Cross could return the state government to ways it had become ac- customed to under the regime of the venerable Uncle Toby. But the past year and half have certainly proved that any fears were groundless. Democratic state administration, interrupted by two years of COP government with Raymond E. Baldwin alternately introducing him. self to the nation as political genius and attempting to hold off impatient Republi- can patronage -grabbers, has continued under Hurley as it did with Cross. To offset all this we contend there must be more than good luck charms.

Waterbury will probably regard it's new anti-noise ordinance with mixed feelings, but there will be representative opinion among all men that it is high time that something was done to abate nuisances of this nature. Of course, a lot depends on the interpretation and enforcement of the law. It needs must be treated Tn an intelligent fashion or it might easily become an instrument whereby the city would find itself in ridiculous situation. Other communities have approached the problem sensibly in recent years. We have no reason to believe that Water bury won't do the same. While the writer admits to a set of nerves that are more or less hardened to sounds of all types, still a pet aversion one that causes some ln- ward writhing, has been the discordant note of the automobile horn used to de- mand right of way for wedding entour- age From time to time authorities have mentioned cautiously the idea of sub- duing such parties, but they persist. Maybe the new law will have more soothing effect.

Selected Poem
THE TRANSIENT

(Silence Buck Bellows in the Christian
 Science Monitor) You were mistaken my good friend, In thinking that my chimney's end Was shelter from the coming storm. The fue was smoky, the ashes warm, And your gay gold coat was sorry sight When you crawled out on my hearth last night A flower box seemed fitting thing To offer for your recovering And you wrapped your sooty legs around pansy stalk that they had found, And promptly claimed a squatter's right To settle down and spend the night. And lest you rue roofless bed With the thunder crashing overhead, The box was moved to a sheltered spot; And your later safety was not forgot, For tiptoed out in the lonely night To see If your legs were clinging tight. Now that the day has broken clear, I find that you're no longer here. As the sun climbs high and the cuckoo sings You are somewhere testing your rested wings, While who stand here have simply been A cog in the wheel of your machine. And give whatever thanks are due To our common source, that thing like you Could find a use for thing like me. I'm glad that man could serve bee.

Keep On Buying

With local merchants ready to pay their respect to our war heroes tomorrow there is corresponding duty on our part to help out the war effort by concerted effort in buying war stamps and bonds. Waterbury got off to good start in July with it's Retailers for Victory drive, but like all such things the initial furry ot excitement soon drops off. Right now is the time to make our dimes and dollars count in this war.
 There are few of us who don't have to make a purchase or two every week. Let's get in the habit of making this shop ping trip worth while for Uncle Sam, too. Ask that your change be given to you in war saving stamps. Or dig out a few extra coins over and above the cost of the pur- chase and collect few stamps. Bring stamp book with you every time you 20 down street. All of us really have moral obligation to help our nation fight this war Your effort may be more or less passive, but it can be very effective, too
 Waterbury has never shirked when it came to sharing it's responsibilities m fighting any war in which this nation has become involved. We certainly aren't going to do it today in this greatest of wars, one from which our own safety hangs by very thin thread. Many peo- pie haven't got the war stamp or bond fever; others are only mildly interested. All of us have got to become enthusiastic about this business of making any sacri- flee if we want to live in free country and with free neighbors in other countries.

Germans aid when he disclosed the arrest of eight saboteurs and listed the places they were told to destroy. Would Mr. Pheiffer have these officials mandatorily sentenced to death? Also, it is well known that mandatory stiff sentences often re- suit in acquittals where guilt is unques- tionable but where juries believe the inc vitable punishment exceeds the crime.

Horses are supposed to be popular right now on account of the numerous restric- tions placed on. motoring. Everyone speaks of the return of the horse7and- buggy days. There isn't a chance of those days ever returning on a scale that would find the horse actually replacing the motor car It's very simple, too. In the first place there aren't enough animals to go around; in the second place horses driven over hard surfaced pavements would be at such a disadvantage that they'd accomplish little or nothing. In the third place this day and age is never going to be satisfied with the slow pace of the horse. Along the bridal path and on the farm the horse still has and should have prominent place, but on the city Street-nO
