The forward pass is generally re-} garded by the coaches as a destroy-| er of the fundamentals.

It is a well known fact that the forward pass is not regarded in high favor by the conservative coaches. However, the public likes open and no doubt the coaches will wary about making any drastic changes in style.

' Many other points could be cited, but it may be best to stop when none of the argument looks thin. There is no escaping the fact that football has been a success at Minnesota. Head Is Not Turned Perhaps the greatest accomplish- ment of all has been the fact that ‘footall has not turned the institu- tion’s head. Its membership realizes perfectly that the main purpose of a university is educational, but at the same time it has regard for the fact. that as a source of college spirit and a legitimate way of letting the public at large participate in the more spectacular phases of college life, football is without an equal. The Official Washington couldn’t have ; had much to do with the Army-Navy’ game.... We see it was run off without a scandal. Safe crackers got less than $3000 pulling a job at Tampa, Fla....

Farm Congress Will Meet Jan. 12 to 15 Dates for the 27th annual 'Tri- State Farmers congress, formerly the Tri-State Grain Growers convention, have been set for Jan, 12 to 15, 1926, according to an announcement. made by W. C. Palmer of the North Da- kota Agricultural college, secretary of the organization. ‘A new feature this year is the plan to hold a number of demonstrations at the Agricultural college. The bal- ance of the program will be held, as formerly, at the auditorium in Fargo. Both live animals and earcasses will be displayed in demonstration of market classes of beef cattle and con hogs. A dairying demonst) will also be given. The last da be devoted to discussions on how to improve the quality of crops. H. L.

The proposed Great Lakes-St. Law- rence deep w: y system will be discussed at one of the down-town The Equity Cooperative ex- nge will hold its annual meeting Jan. 14 and 15, and the North Da- kota Farm Bureau federation will also hold its annual meeting at Fargo dur- ing the time of the farmers’ congress. ‘$100 REWARD For information leading to arrest and conviction of par- ties breaking windows or otherwise damaging my new residence. Dr. A. M. Brandt. PEOPLE’S FORUM SPECULATIONS IN OIL Statistics reveal that for every seven dollars’ worth of oil taken out of the ground ten dollars are spent in digging for it.

The prospecting for oil is the more ascinating because it is largely a blind man’s game. Comparatively little is known of the hidder tr sures below the earth's surface since they form such a small portion of the earth’s crust. Geologisis who e the best study of the crust are the least to make definite ements concerning its hidden treasures a rule, their are like the prophe- cles of ancient Greece the out- come may be for- tunes 1 ake, es induced’ to ler promotion schem ‘alesmen Everywhere y not classify all ventu either sound or unsound, rtuinly, our me: stringent sky h ailed to prevent mui itimate and detri mental to the general public. The country is flooded with rosy-hued prospectuses filled with the grossest misrepresen Smooth-tongued alesmen are everywhere selling gild- that are absolutely And every artful device known to man is used to foster spec ulation in oil. Kidder county has come into the limelight by reason of the oil found in a well at Robinson. Judging from past experiences in the opening of new fields, we may expect all sorts of promotion schem wildeatting” and confidence games. Too much at- tention cannot be given to the exer- cise of caution before deciding to in- vest. Doubtless, the oil’ find is genuine and there is ample justi tion in assuming that the indications warrant prospecting and developing. Much of the territory adjacent to Robinson has been leased for that purpose, Several companies have been found and one, that of A. C. Town- ley, has ulready begun Confirmed reports also indicate that unsavory representations are being made in the soliciting of funds for investment In criticising questionable methods it is not the intention to attack in- dividuals, partnerships or corpora- tions using honorable and legitimat means fer promotion, Neither is intended to discourage investors that can afford to take a chance, while operations. | tify the producing wells from the dry wells. Also that he has been tried out near Robinson by cross-section- ing many square miles of territory where blindfolded or in a darkened car, he could alwa locate the par- ticular field of Townley’s lease. This representation is said to form a part of the basis for soliciting funds for Townley’s well. It good that only Leaguers y ipate and at that, the amount one individ) is limited. Inducing uch a*belief would naturally lead many to part with their hard-earned dollars, convinced that an invest- ment in Townley’s well is a sure gamble in spiteof wh sentations might be contrary Taking It For G Let us take it for that those feats have been performed ju related by most creditable — wit- nesses. Let us also take it for granted that A. C. Townley himself is convinced of their reality and that even the “doodle-bug” believes in his you and I, to give credence because of their plausibility?

In connection with this project, in 8 as it relates to th ician’s art, some pertinent questions might be asked. Why does that man work for A.C, y for a mere pittance when he might command a salary of |4 million dollars a year working for ome large oil company? Is it a's ficient answer to explain that there are personal and human: sons? And why did not Townley “bring a producing well in Kan- sas before coming to North Dakota? He had been operating there for some time and it would have made his next step here so much easier. Is it be- cause his magician’s art- failed in Kansas so that he had to move to greener pastures in North Dakota among his former political friend: And agi we might ask, Townley preparing to spend months, perhaps years, here in North Dakota when he might first locate all the im- portant oil fields on the continent and obtain -the necessary leases with | less expenditure of money than is necessary to put down this one well at Robinson? If we are in the da: of miracles some other magician might crop out, or if perchance it were not an occult process* someone else might discover the invention and thus steal a march on him. To be consistent—he should her have made a “strike” in Kansas before coming here, or else he should con- tinue prospeeting.

The whole town is thinking about Him.” | “If you’re not a Christian you don’t know what a good time is.” “Its usually he that lives like a dog that wants to die like a dog —nothing beyond the grave.” “Why care whethergyou live in a mansion or a hut? You won't be here long. Think about your eternal home. That’s the important thing.” “Heaven won't be Heaven for me unless a lot of you dear folks are there who can say ‘You help- ed me to get here.” “Greatest mansion the world has ever seen wouldn't make a .good smokehouse in Heaven.” “For thirteen years I've stu- died, prayed, and wept over the old Bible—never saw a verse in it \ \ forts and necessities of life from taking a hazard in an oil venture, But, let be understood that the severest cri m should be launched against anyone outraging comrhon sense and common decency by .¢1 ploying means which lead to a belief in a sure ble, especially when sugar-coated by ‘protestations that the venture contains a hazard. Efforts Net Criticized In referring to the development project of A. C. Townley no is directed at his efforts to prospect for oil. If oil there is, it is as likely to be on his‘leasehold as anywhere. And it is sincerely hoped that his determination pluck and as a pioneer may be rewarded not only for the benefit of himself and his friends but for the benefit of the whole ¢om- munity. However, a resort to occult or magic powers furthering a pri ject bears the earmarks of a con’ dence game and as. such, deserves condemnation. To many readers of this article it is known that A, C. Townley has in his employ a brought from Kansas of whom it is alleged that he possesses occult or magic powers. He. is sometimes referred to as an “oil- witeh” or “doodle-bug.” It is alleged that this map can detect oil in vary- ing quantities by the use of an in- strument held in the hand which con- tains crude oil-and to which’ is tached a silken cord—much after the manner of “water witches” detecting ater veins with a willow twig. Cred- itable witnesess have seen him peér- form in a Kansas oil field ‘where. blindfolded and over a. radius of many miles, he could invariably iden- em} Prospecting for oil in Kidder coun- ty should be encouraged since the in- dications warrant a belief that this is oil bearing territory. But as yet, ‘no one knows where, or how deep, or in what quantities it may be found, if found at all. With only aver- age probabilities the chances of loss are far greater than of gain. Exper- ience proves that many are willing to take adverse chances in the hope of a big reward. Undoubtedly the chances of loss could be lessened if all questionable methods in_the oil game could be eliminate: above all, if should be borne that it is a gambler’s game, requiring | the same caution one would exercise ‘in a poker game—watch the dealer and cut the cards, As for those who may be deterred from investing in the event of a rich “strike,” it may be said they have not lost what they never had, And it is well to remem- ber the wise counsel which says that it is better to be safe than sorry.
