Nick Friena's Demise
S. E. Barrick, living east on the county line, called in this office
Tuesday,and says that a derrick is up a lettle east of his farm
on the southwest corner 32-23-2w, seven miles east and one south of [
Garber, and they expect to spud in before many days.
Another location was staked last week and timbers for the
derrick are are already on the ground for a well to be drilled right
away on the John Porter {arm, the northeast 34-22-3w, 3J miles
east and 6 south of Garber.
W. E. Wildfong, managr of the Preston-Oklahom Oil Co. (who
is drilling a well in center of 2-22-3w, five miles east and two
south of Garber,) informs us that they have new a standard rig
and tools and have underreamed their 8-inch easing down to the
top of the tools, and cleaned out and that the proper fishing tool
is to "be gotten to fasten on and retrieve the string of tools lost
months ago. A flow of gas estimated conservatively at two and
a half million feet was struck in this well in a shallow sand, some
time ago after which the string of tools were lost. As the hole
has been cleaned out and enlarged from six to eight inch and the
easing lowered to the top of the tools, they should be easily gotten
but as a fishing job is an unknown quantity until completed, we
wi'l be compelled to wait developments.
The Oil Service Petroleum Co., who are putting down a well
on the Jessie E. Smith farm, 24 miles north and li west of Garber
in the northwest corner of nel5-23-4w, are now down 1400 feet.
February 16th they lost an underreamer lug at a depth of about
1250 feet. They failed to fish it out after many days effort and
finally decided to driil it up. They have driven it ahead and
made 140 feet more ho'e and have taken out pieces that wou'd
comprise about half of the lug. ft has given a great amount of
trouble by the point of the drill passing for several feet and then
the lug falling in and wedging the drill fast, thereby delaying pro"
gress. As we go to press they are busy underriming 10-inch pipe
to bottom to prevent caving and insure safety.

All the old settlers were sorry to
learn last week that our old-time friend
and neighbor, well known as Nick
Friend, had passed to his reward.
Nick was a good and industrious
farmer and altho he had no family to
spur him to supreme efforts, he was
a model of industry and progressive-
ness. His crops were always the best
that good tilth of soil and seasonable
planting could produce and it was
a common sight during all the years'
since the opening of the country to
settlement, until very recent, years, to
see Nick seated upon a load of wheat,
with his shirt sleeves rolled up, driving
up street to market the same. He was
a good horseman and could manage a
half dozen or more horses hitched to
large, cumbersome machinery with
ease and precision and he knew how to
properly care for both teams and ma- j
chinery necessary to success.
About 10 or 12 years ago we had a
very wet year. It rained more and I
more as the season advanced until it |
seemed to rain about every hour. As
all observing passers by may have
noticed, tfiere is a pronounced depression
in the landscape between NicksFriend's
dwelling and the section line road on
the east that always fills with water
during a wet spell and that appeared to
supply all the requisits of a perfect
frog heaven while moisture was in
plenty, and the music they made and
the songs of praise that army of frogs
produced made the surrounding air
vibrate until it was almost deafening
to passers by and had such an influence
on the imagination of the writer that
thefollowiig announcement appeared
in the columns of the Sentinel:
"Our progressive farmer, Nick
Friend, is producing a very large crop
of high-grade frogs in his large frog
pond and expects to ship a car load to
Paris as soon as they have fattened a
little more." We followed this the
next week with the following: "Nick
Friend is not only going to ship one
carload of frogs to Paris, but judging
by the noise they are making in his
pond, he expects to have about six car
loads when he carefully runs the mud
and water of the pond thru a strainer.''
The next daya terthe paper came
juv we received a visit from Mr,
Friend. He had his sleeves rolled up as
usual, but worse than that there was
blood in his eye and he demanded ai>
explanation. "He 9aid that he did not
know anything about it until everybody
he met began asking him about his
frog crop," as he did not at that time
take the paper. Talk about diplomacy.
To save ourselves from a good licking
that for a time appeared to be inevit-
able, we used powers of explanatory
persuasion and expressed our esteem
of his high qualities as a citizen, that
that would have made Lloyd George
Does Advertising Pay?
Local Store Makes Proof.
The big sale which Yauchs' Cash
Store started last Saturday is con-
clusively proving that advertising
surely does pay, more so when the ad-
vertising is backed up b/ honest,
legitimate bargains on reliable wanted
merchandise. Mr. Yauch advertised
his sale widely and it is now a common
sight to see streams of people leaving
his store loaded down high with big
bundles of bargains. This sale will run
until April 8th and Mr. Yauch says
that all new goods will be included in
the sale just as they arrive.
The phonograph contest that this
store is holding in conjunction with this
sale, is creating a great deal of interest
in Garber. There are 24 contestants
entered with their minds set upon win-
ning the phonograph. It will be a case
of the hardest worker wins. This is
not a lottery nor a drawing, but it is a
voting contest. Fifty votes are given
with every 50c purchase. The pur-
chaser may vote for any contestant.
The daily standing of the contestants
is posted in the store so that each con-
testant may know just how they stand
every day. The manager is not allow-
ing any soliciting of votes in the store,
nor can any contestant hold back any
votes. Votes once cast cannot be
transferred. These precautions are be-
ing taken in order that this contest will
be r.b. jlufely fair and square and head
and shoulders above board. At the
close of the contest, April 8th, a dis-
interested committee of judges will
make the final count and award the
talking machine to the contestant hav-
ing the largest number of votes. The
phonog aph is now on display in
Yauchs'Cash Store and the public is
invited to come in and hear it play.

PROCLAMATION
Designating the Week of April
23-29, as Health Promotion
Week.
The promotion of health, the preven-
tion of disease, the conservation of hu- ]
man life are all matters of vital concern I
to the nation and to the state. A
healthy, virile citizenship means a|
prosperous, contented and law-abiding ]
people. During the year 1921 there;
were reported totli;! State Health De-
partment over 9,000 cases ef commrnic-
able diseases, and over 16,000 deaths
from all causes in the State of Okla-
homa. In view of these statists it has
I seemed to me fitting that a time should
j be appointed, by competent authority,
I during which every community of the
! state shall take concerted action look-
j ing to the betterment of local condi-
tions of sanitation, instruction of the
people in the practice of hygiene, de-
termination as to the cause of com-
municable diseases, and the prevention,
so far as is possible, of such diseases.
Now, therefore, I, J. B. A. Robertson,
Governor of Oklahoma, for the purpose
of promoting the general health and
the welfare of the people of the state,
do hereby designate and proclaim the
week beginning April 23, 1922, to be
observed as Health Promotion Week;
and I urge upon our people, and par-
ticularly upon our schools and civic
bodies of the state, a wholehearted par-
ticipation in the observance of this
week to the end that the results to be
obtained may be of lasting benefit; and
further, I hereby designate the State
Department of Health as the agency
to outline a suitable program for health
promotion, and I suggest that our
citizens communicate freely with the
State Commissioner of Health in order
that the greatest pojsible benefit may
accrue from the observance of these
seven days of Health Promotion Week.
Given under my hand and the great
Seal of State at the Capitol in Okla-
homa City, this 16th day ofMarch, in
tne year of our Lord, 1922, and of the
Independence of the United States the

(Seal) Governor.

Some Enterprise
Steve Blaser, living northwest oi Gar-
ber, called in last week and subscribed
for the Sentinel. He said that he ad-
vertised in our columns a couple of
weeks ago that he had some feed for
sale and that he promptly got results.
Theyeame therewith teams and soon
hauled it all away and that he wanted
to take a paper that represented the
live people of this community so well
and who read the pages so carefully
down to its smallest ads.
Progressive young men liko Steve
can make a success of any business as
he would succeed whero many other
men would not only fail but starve to
death. He could teach valuable lessors
to many business men who are possessed
with the falicious ideu that it does not
pay to advertise and whose goods con-
tinue to gather dust and secluded
oblivion until finally a aherill's sale re-
surrects them from darkness to light.
A Business Changs
C. A. Graham, of Oilton, Okla., is
taking charge of the Bruce Undertak-
ing establishment and will direct all
funerals hereafter from that establish-
ment.
Mr. Graham is a licensed embalmer
having had a number of years exper-
ience in that art. He will move his
family here for permanent residence.
Business Change
J. B. Emrick, of Enid, who has been
in business down in the oil field to the
south, has bought half interest in the
stock of groceries and meat market re-
cently taken over from V. V. Thorp by
S. Turnbaugh and the firm will in the
future be known by the name of Em-
rick & Turnbaugh.
