School Notes
The literary program given Wednes-
day evening by the high school society
was good. In addition to the debate
on the question, "Resolved, That
strikes should be prohibited by law,"
the following numbers were given
The Aubyme No. 2 on the Flora Seaman farm, northwest j rimno solo Dorothy Taft; retding;
l-22-4w, are skidding the rig and have been delayed by the contin-
ued rains. The hole was lost by the breakage of an underreamer
stem that could not be'retrieved at around 1500 feet.
The Healdton Oil & Gas company No. 1 on the Long farm,
southeast of southwest 8-23-4, are down around 400 feet with the
12-inch.
The Sinclair No. 1, on the Rhodes farm, southeast corner
northeast 30-23-3w, is down around 3100 feet and reported s)*it
down.
The Champlin No. 1, on the Hays farm, near the center of the
east line southeast 30-27-4w, are fishing for several joints of casing
at a depth around 2300 feet.
The Free >tate Oil company No. 1, on the Medlin farm near
center of north line, southeast 26-23-4w, have shut down at 950 feet
to install new engine and boiler. R. E. I'arks, the local manager,
is rushing the work as fast as the weather will permit and expects
to have work resumed in a few days.
It is reported that quite a number of wells in the field have been
drilled to sand and left stand until after January 1st of the coming
new year when they will be drilled in and production increased
to that extent.
The Oregon-Oklahoma Oil & Gas company No. 1 on' the Gib-
son farm, on the east edge of Garber, near northwest corner 25- 23-
4w, have derrick, cellar and slush pond completed and have con-
tract let to begin work January 1st, 1921, and a second well March
1st, on the southeast 40 of same quarter. If the weather will per-
mit the contractor, L. C. Briggs of Tulsa, proposes to get busy and
proceed to comply with the terms of his contract made with the
above named firm. A string of tools can scon be run up into place
and work begun that will decide whether or not the freak well on
the Kirk lots would indicate any underlaying pool of oil. The oij
continued to come into the well from the bottom at a depth of
about 50 feet while the water vein was in rock at a depth of 25 feet.
Wishing water for house use Mr. Kirk tamped the bottom of the
well with firm material, shutting off the oil, and has now a good
water well. If the oil came from any surface source is it not reason,
able to expect that it would be brought in by the water? It wil]
certainly take the drill -to decide the enigma.

A great cry for a remedy for the
present size of the senior classes in the
high schools of the country has been
made by the educational papers. The
feature is not noticeable in Garber
high-in fact the reverse is true. In-
stead of our classes becoming smaller as
they pass thru various courses they be-
come larger or at least hold their own.
The present senior class has a record
for scholarship, athletic ability and
numbers.
Four years ago 20 boys and girls en-
tered the freshman class and began a
four year schooling. Sixteen of that
number are.in school today and have
the promise of a splendid career be-
cause they have been encouraged to
schoof themselves and a majority of
them will go on to high institutions of
learning to prepare for some specific
service to their fellowmen-. Four new
members havd been added to the class
making the total the same to graduate
as entered high school.
This holding power and encourage-
ment is th. result of effort, skill and
planning and organization. Just as no
business can prosper or stand for a pre
cept to the community by yearly
changing officers and management so
no school can be of the greatest service
to the manhood and womanhood
of a community, unless the officers,
superintendent and teachers are given
time to prove their worth
solving the problems of keeping
school and teaching the boys and girls
of a community.

Safe Investments
We have reached a period when safe
Investments can scarcely be found.
Nearly every enterprise requiring capi-
tal is so managed that it is an unknown
quantity and quality that may or
may not be all that is claimed for it.
High salaries may be sufficient to ab-
sorb any and all profits of a good buis-
ness and leave the stockholders with
little or no dividends where a jucy mel-
on may have been expected by them.
For this reason thousands of investors
are putting their spare money in land

While the weat her remains so moder-

It started raining again last Sunday
evening and rained a steady downpour
for thirty hours. If it had been cold
enough to have converted it into snow
we would have been blest with two or
three feet of the beautiful.
The Ladies' Guild apron bazaar, to
be held next Saturday, Dec. 11, at the
front window of the S. & S. grocery,
will solve the problem for your Xmas
box. The Girls' True Workers class
will serve lunch. Do not forget it.
The after effects of war is almost as
bad as war itself. As a result of the
war that ended over two years ago,
millions are doomed to die a miserable
death by starvation within the next
few months of severe winter weather.
Slowly but surely the walls of the
town hall are growing when the weather
is not too cold or rainy. The ornamen-

grain that appears as if it would stand
the weather without becoming dis-
colored.
It is useless to talk to Oklahomans

Will ever normal conditions return
