I The Cinnamon Well
A report came in this week that a
showing of oil was obtained at around
1700 feet in the Cinnamon well, the
northwest 33-33-3, which may indicate
another structure to the east of this.
Ball Park Well
Furlow & Chaptnan are underream-
ing their 8-inch to a depth around 2.000
feet in the Ball Park well and are close
to bottom.
It is a remarkable fact that less than
60 days has been spent in actual drill-
ing or underreaming. They began Dec.
30, and for thirty days or more they
had only half enough gas to run, losing
half the time waiting for power. They
have had no fishing jobs or accidents of
any kind that delayed work and for
this reason they have made wonderful
progress.
They are not giving out any more in-
formation to the public, at this well, but
a good scout should be enabled to fur-
nish his own facts and figures by obser-
vation.
bank Changes Hands
The Garber State Bank has cihanged
hands, Conner and Keltner not only
selling their interests in the bank, but
also their residence properties
The new officers of the bank are E.
P. Green of Helena, Okla., president;
J. M. Courter, of Enid, vice-president;
G. R. Courter of Enid, cashier, and
Lloyd Keltner of Garber, assistant
cashier. A. J. Peters of the Guarantee
State Bank of Okmulgee, is also finan-
cially^associated-
The Lyhene Well
The well on the center of the south
line of the south 1-22-3, belonging to
J. D. Lyhene, is down over 1700 feet
and has every prospect of getting oil.
No water has yet been struck and the
well is in first-class shape to make pro-
gress.
The Red Cross
They are still cleaning out at the Red
Cross and it is proving to be all we
have claimed for it and will finally be a
good steady yielder.
No offsetting wells have, as yet, been 1
be;un but in a few days more such'
work must be begun, if certain lease
| owners do not desire jeopardizing the
terms of their leases.

High School Notes
"Be still, sad heart! and cease repining;
Behind the clouds is the sun still shin-
ing;
Thy fate is the common fate of all,
Into each life some rain mLst fall,
Some days must be dark and dreary."
The past week has been pregnant
with grief and lonliness for one of our
members who has gone on that jotirney
from which none have ever returned.
Our grief has no. been for his loss but
for ours. Our lonliness is satisfied, in a
measure, by reflection upon his spotless
character and ideal companionship.
His integrity, respect for others, aspira-
tions and personality will ever remain
with us and spur us on to a greater
^oal and to be "like Vernon" will be an
ideal for us to strive for.
Vernon Porter was an exceptional
young man and his sudden departure
from this life cut short, no doubt, a
career of no mean degree. He was a
perfect student, an ideal athlete, of
: model habits, and a sincere Christian.
J No young man of the community has
j his reputation for strictly business. He
| was never arrested for an# misdemeanor
of any kind in school. Just tivo weeks
ago he served as substitute for one of
the teachers who was ill.
i His habits were ideal. Regular at-
tendance at church and Sunday school,
thorough training in all athletics, per-
fect lessons, clean sociability, regular
hours and punctuality were a few of
his good ones. He had no bad ones.
The beautiful flowers, given as a
feeble effort to demonstrate our love
for him, are a pledge to keep alive those
ideals and standards Vernon has set for
us both as students and young men and
young women.
Subject, "Our Duty"
Last Thursday evening four of oar
hpworth League members were priv-
ileged to g > out to the oil field and help
the people of that vicinity in a move-
ment that is going to mean "a spread ol
the Gospel of Jesus Christ."
We found a crowd of young people full
of enthusiasm that made our hearts
glad that we were privileged to be in
the midst of a people that were so tilled.
They were gathered together* in the
dining room of Mrs. C. E. Watford's
boarding house. On our arrival there,
after meeting a few of the people, they
began the service by singing. It seemed
j to the writer that the walls of the room
j would have to move back to the melody
| of the voices.
After a few songs, we listened to th
reading of the Scripture and a short
talk by Bro. Pittman. We were then
favored by a p!ano solo by Fred Heckel,
one of our home talent, then a reading
by Ruby Miers, also a home talent.
We all enjoyed the evening very
much and we know that God was glori-
! tied. We certainly hope that the oppor-
tunity presents itself again for us to
enjoy many other evenings out in this
community. We hope i his work may
' go on until a church and a Sunday
school are organized and many souls
are saved. Pray God the work may go
on and on.-Contributed.
Garber is to have a clean-up day, so
! it is time that we were beginning to
pick up our rubbish and cans. Do not
dump tin cans along the highway as it
is a state offense. There will be a pub-
lie dumping place found and all tin cans
are to be taken thereon clean-up day.
