OIL NOTES
Oil development is slowly but surely awakening into life. We
notice all kinds of material is again being moved not only into the
south field but to various other points where activities in wild-
catting is beginning, stimulated by the advance that has recently
been made in the price of crude.
The big Marland well northeast of Billings has attracted a
great amount of attention and shows the possibilities in opening
new pools. Before another year rolls around we predict that one
or more pools will have been discovered in territory tributary to
Garber. _
An effort has been made to block some le?ses adjoining Gar-
ber sufficient to secure a drilling contract but at this writing it
does not look very hopeful for the reason that so many are unwill-
ing to do their part required to secure the necessary acreage where
structure is in evidence.
It is reported that the Canadian company drilling on the
southeast of 2-22-3, have been having some trouble, having lost an
underreamer, last week, but were lucky in fishing it out and are
again making hole. They will soon be down to sands that vyi'l
make it quite interesting.
The wildcat that was being drilled in on 8-23-4w, for Marland,
has been abandoned and the derrick taken down. No structure
appears to exist where this location was made, discrediting the
geologist that mapped it out as structure. He evidently
failed to take into consideration the fact that his location is much
lower in elevation than the high ground at Garber where the same
cap-rock of the permian rises very much higher, which would
naturally flood any such minor anticline that he had chosen and
supposed to be high enough to be oil-bearing.
Altho a few phenomenal strikes have been made in recent
months that would indicate that some new pools are being opened
up, the flow of oil in the great Texas, Oklahoma and Kansas fields
are lessening to a wonderful degree, while the surplus of crude is
deminishing at a rapid rate, which is causing the price to advance
as rapidly as it fell some months ago.
These conditions appear to be stimulating the big companies
into renewed activity while wildcatting is starting up where pro-
spective oil domes appear to be in evidence and before spring
weather again approaches, it is expected that all the producers wil[
again be in full swing.
This appears to be the Oil Age as if it were intended by some
over-ruling providence to bridge the space of time required by man
to hydro-electrify the world. Not only energy but lubrication is
needed and will be needed in all the years to come.
Boy
Scouts' Aims
and Ideals
THE UNIVERSAL CAR
Pride of Ownership
THE Ford Touring Car has brought to the
farm homes of the country more feal plea-
sure, comfort and convenience than perhaps any
other one thing.
It has enabled the farmer and his family to mingle
with friends, attend church, neighborhood func-
tions, and enjoy the many pleasantries „that
abound in country life.
Truly the Ford car with its low cost of operation
and maintenance, its usefulness and efficiency,
has been a boon to the American farmer.
Your order should be piaced at once if you wish
to avoid delay in delivery.

The world interest in the Boy Scout
movement challenges the intelligent
understanding of everyone, and yet
many people ask "What is Scouting?"
What do Boy Scouts do?"
The Boy Scout idea is a movement
rather than an organization. 1 aims
to supplement existing organizations
such as the home, church and school by
engaging the boy's leisure energies in
outdoor games and activities of cul-
tural and practical value.
The aim of the Scout movement is to
inculcate character, which, though
essential to success in life, is rot taught
within the school, and being largely a
matter of environment is too gen-
erally left to chance, often with de-
plorable results. The Scout movement
endeavors to supply the required en-
vironment apd ambitions
games and outdoor
leads a boy to become a better man, a
good citizen."
WHAT SCOUTING IS
Scouting is the process of making
real men out of real boys by a real pro-
gram which works.
Scouting is outdoor life and so health,
strength, happiness and practical edu-
cation. By combining wholesome, at-
tractive outdoor activities with the in-
fluence of the Scout Oath and Law the
movement develops character.
It develops the power of initiative
and resourcefulness.
It helps boys.
It insures good citizenship.
The Boy Scout movement healthfully
and sanely offsets the disadvantages
which civilization has caused.
NEITHER MILITARY NOR ANTI-
MILITARY
As an organization the Scout move-
ment is not military in thought, form
or spirit, although it does instil in boys
the military virtues, such as honor,
loyalty, obedience and patriotism. The
uniform, the patrol, the troop, and the
drill are not for military tactics; they
are for the unity, the harmony and the
rhythm of spirit that boys learn in
Scoutinr. It is in the wearing of the
uniform arwl doing of things together as j
Scouts that they absorb the force of!
the Scout Law, which states: "A j
Scout is a friend of all., and a brother |
to every other scout."
"DOING IS LEARNING"
We want to help the boys on leaving
school to escape the evils of "blind
alley" occupations—that is, such work
as gives the boy a mere wage for tl.i
moment, but leaves him stranded with-
out any trade or handicraft to pursue
when he is a man and so sends him as a
recruit to the great army of unem-
ployed, and, what is worse, the unem-
ployable. "Doing is learning," and
when a Scout in the formation stage of
his life has this lession thoroughly im-
pressed upon his mind, he has learned
to be resourceful. The simple, help-: ■■*}
yourself experience which a Scout re-
ceives in his impressionable years pre- ;*}
pares him to meet emergencies cover-
ing the entire range of existence which
may develop later in his life.
School Notes
Marshall was surprised Friday when
Garber crossed the line for two touch-
downs and held them for a 40 to 13
score. Winning from Cherokee, last
year's runner up for state honors 40 to
0 and Alva High 19 to 0, betting was
strong that Garber would not score.
Garber showed the best fight of the
season and proved that Garber can
play real football. Hunter is bidding
for the game with Pond Creek, to be
played there instead of here tomorrow,
as the community fair is there.
An art exhibit is being conducted
this afternoon and will be tomorrow
afternoon at the primary room. Prints
of the most famous paintings of the
world are on display.. The proceeds of
the exhibit will go toward purchasing
pictures for the various rooms,

The high school grade cards wen sent
out Wednesday at the close of the first

A good program was given at the
pie supper Wednesday evening, but
few pies were in evidence compared
with the appetites.
Dr. Millard of Oklahoma City has

The S. T. I. society was entertained
by a party given by Eva Blaser,
Thursday evening. A large number
of young people spent the evening play-
ing games and singing songs. Refresh-
ments were served by Eva Blaser as-
sisted by Jessie Lewis and Lois Wal-
cher. The guests came back to town
in the truck pronouncing the party and
society a great success.
CHE ain't no good at housework, and
^ she makes a botch of cookin',
She idles every minute if she thinks her
Ma ain't, lookin',
Her sewin's somethin' awful |and her
damin's close behind it,
She even dropped the baby when
I asked her for to mind it;
And when I scold her! Goodness grief,
you'd think she was a queen,
Since she had her picture printed in
that movie magazine!
At first we all was tickled, we thought
it such an honor
To have'em print her picture; all that
glory trust upon her;
Her hair's like Mary Pickford's, and it
curls around her head so
You'd think as they were sisters; why,
the editor HE said so!
But it's simply gone and spoiled her, if
you get just what I mean,
A-printin' of her picture in that movie
jnagazine,
She's waitin', so she tells me, for a
letter she's expectin',
She sent along her address so's there'd
be no misdirectin';
But she's gettin' out of patience, and
she spends her time in glummin'
'Cause her ehance to be an actress takes
so precious longin comin';
Meantime she's fit for nothin' 'cept bo
talk about the screen
Since she had her picture printed ia
in that movie magazine!
