CAMPAIGN CAN USE MORE ACTIVE WORKERS
AU DISTRICTS OFFER EXCELLENT
OPENINGS TO GOOD WORKERS
There is lots of room in every one
of the three sections for added start
ers in the Chronicle Salesmanship
Campaign. It looks like it is going
to be a sure enough cinch for active
candidates to win the Wg «wards in
the campaign which is just starting
and continues until July 2.
While there are many who have
sent in their name.: «nd oil ers who
have been nominated by some friend
there are many soft spots, of mighty
good campaign territory -entirely un
condition may be owing to hurried
reading of the advertising or an idea
that these big prizes are to be ob
tained by a long hard period of work.
One who has obtained receipt books
and started to work outside of Red
Lodge tells the sales manager that
she is determined to win tbe Gard
ner Tourdeluxe car and tämo the ex
tra$100.00 to be given the one with
the highest credit, outside of Red
Lodge, at 10 o'clock tbe night of May
31st.
This determination to do one's best
is the spirit that brings success. This
is in the thought of some of the can
didates in Red Lodge also because
the high score May 81 in Sections
One or Two (Red Lodge) wins the
Gold Watch. The winner of that will
be in a very fine peuation 'tao reach
for the Gardner car.
Both these special awards will be
announced by the judges at the close
of the main campaign, July 2.
The best way for the candidates to
go about winning of these prizes ia
to have his or her name printed in
the list of candidates, (which will be
printed next week) in order that in
terested friends may know of the
candidates desire to get support.
Again it may be that some friend
now getting the chronicle as a sam
ple sent by the publisher to them,
without charge, will see the name in
the paper and at o ace send in their
order with instructions to give the
credits to the candidate. If the can
didate goes right to work and covers
the field reasonably quick there will
be lots of orders obtained. Suscrip
tions like this will be dated as start
ed when the order ia given to the
candidate, the proceeding copies not
being charged for. In other words,
the one receiving a sample copy is
under no obligation to subscribe, its
a matter of free choice.
(

With such an array of rich awards
the Gardner $1266.00 Teardeluae
HS
car for the highest number of credits,
the $200 diamond ring for the sec
ont highest number of credits, the
$110.00 Victrola, for the third high
est number of credits at the close of
the Salesmanship Campaign July 2,
many friends of the paper have ex-1
pressed the opinion that these three
awards would be quite enough to
give, especially as a ten per cent
f commission will be paid all who do ;
not win an award of some value, j
But the publisher thinks this way j
about it—tbe more prizes given the I
more candidates there will be boost- :
ing circulation, which is sure to bring
ln more subscribers than having only i
a few workers. That's sure enough i
And so after the three highest hard I
hitters have won the three big awards
they become disqualified to win any
others excepting the specials on May
31. That will leave three others as
leaders In each of the three sections
each of them will get a $50 merchan
dise award. Every other active can
didate will get a cash commission on
evç-,y dollar he or she collects. Every
body gets well paid. Join Tn With tbe
other salesmen and get your share,

The information given here regard
ing a trip made last winter in a Gard
ner car will show the class of the prize
being offered by the Chronicle. 1 T
P. Sandels is the Red Lodge agent
from whom the purchase was made
and that gentleman furnished the data
from which this very interesting story
is taken.
"Cannon Ball" Baker is a famous
driver of cars in test runs. The Gard
ner Motor Company began negotia
tions with Mr. Baker at Chicago, Feb
ruary 2nd, and an agreement was fin
ally reached and concluded on Feb
ruary 8th. A car with an All-Season
top on it that had been in the service
of the Production Department was se
lected to make a trip from New York
to Los Angeles in midwinter with a
Gardner car. On the 10th, the All
Season top was replaced with a Sedan
I body. The car was then thoroughly
checked, oiled and greased, and Baker
left with it for New York on Febru
ary 12th. It was a standard stock job
in every respect.
Leaving New York on the heels of
a terrific snowstorm, shortly after
"Cannan Ball" Baker left Philadelphia,
he ran into one of the worst blizzards
the East has known for many a year.
Natives of the Allegheny Mountains
and U. S. Official Weather Reports
verify this. From thence on he en
countered great drifts of snow, roads
covered with ice so treacherous that
many cars had either gone over em
bankments or had been abandoned al
together.
He encountered fogs so dense that
vision ten feet beyond the car was im
possible; mud roads between St. Louis
and Kansas City that had been de
clared impassable and over which no
car had passed for two weeks; beyond
this, more mud, sand, rocks and snow;
but through all this Gardner came ont
victorious.
The run from New York to Los An
geles with a closed car was made in
4 days 14 hours and 16 minutes run
ning time and is what Mr. Baker
states is his "outstanding achieve
ment" in car running. His signed
statement follows:—"This was my six
ty-fourth trip across the country in
which I have driven different makes
of cars. I can conscientiously say
that Gardner is more real car for the
mowey than any other car I have ever
driven, and in this I mean what ! say,
because I have just purchased a Gard
wer Sedan for my own personal use.
"I was simply amazed at its ability
;withstand the terrific tests through
which it was put without showing any
evidence «f abuse or deterioration. I
'"'iB tell you, if the public knew as
ranch about the Gardner car as I do,
> ro ' u couldn't begin to build enough of
them.'
To attempt to describe the condi
tions under which "Cannon Ball" Bak
er dorve a Gardner Sedan christened
the "Blizzard" from New York to Los i
Angeles, ifnour days fourteen hours I
and fifteen minutes running time in j
the dead of winter, would not be do-1
ing justice to either the car or its re -1
markable driver.

Motion to Pass Bur sum Measure over
Presidential Action Fails 53 to 28
or Single Ballot Leas Than Two
Thirds.
.
Washington, May 13.—President
Coolidges wet® of the Bursum pension
bill was sustained today in the sen
ate.
The action crowned with success the
first attempt of Mr. Coolidge to block
legislation by exercise of the veto
power.
Like President Harding, he disap
proved the bill because of the expense
involved. The measure would have
granted pension increases to the vet
erans of several wars.
The vote to override was 63 to 28
one vote less than the two-thirds re
quired.
Thirty-two Republicans and the two
Farm-Labor senators voted to over
ride the veto while 16 Democrats vot
ed to sustain it.

MIDWEST'S WELL
BIG OIL GUSHER
| ridb.ry >f the Mid-west, which has
I been UnLing ih lease, succeeded in

Lake Basin Field Proves oil When
Hepp Well is Brought In as Big
Gusher.
Gusher production of a high grade
of oil has been encountered in the
Hepp well of the Midwest Refining
company on the Big Luke structure of
the Lake Busin, 80 miles northwest of
Billings in Stillwater county. Present
indications give the well status of the
most important discovery in Montana,
say experienced oil men.
The well blew itself in at 8 o'clock
Monday night and under the Impetus
of tremendous gas pressure it gushed
over the top of an 84-foot derrick at
intervals of between three and four
hours during the night. —
Early Tuesday morning a crew of
ifo Mid-Northern Oil company a suA
-1 -•!'» : ■
While officials of the Mid-Northern
would make no estimate of production
rapidity with which the casing fills
, makes estimate of 1,500 barrels a day
seem conservative.
The oil was found first Sunday aft
ernoon at a debth of 3,824 feet, when
j the drilling crew, upon encountering
* a hard sand lowered the bailer and
brought it up half full of oil Opera
! tors, officials of the Mid-Northern
were notified. Preparations were being
made to run a string of six and five
, im b casing Inside of the eight
dl-wh.ch rests some 600 feet above
bottom of the hole, and at 5 oclock
j Monday afternoon the crew noted the
i <'*1 »'«pully rising in the hole. Three
I hnur8 oil flowed over the top, and
j within a very short time came the first
eruption, an eight-inch stream of or
ange-hued liquid, a spectacular sight
in the light of the two flares burning
at each side of the well to relieve gas
pressure encountered in the upper
horizons. Three hours later the erup
tion was repeated and then at inter
vals during the night until Installation
of a swedge nipple shut flow in the
eruptions were continued.
The sand in which the oil was en
countered appears very hard,
lime," as one operator interested in a
large way in the structure described it.
Since tools wore pulled out of the hole
'like
before the bit had penetrated more
than a foot of the sand, it is impossible
to estimate as to just what extent the
well has blown itself. Establish met.*;
of oil channels to the hole and a con
sequent lessening of the resistance
may bring flush production up to a
very high ifgure, while on the other
hand a shallow sand might have the
opposite effect. There is no log of
wells in the whole area on which es
timate of depth of the producing sand,
the Dakota, can be based.
