Road Protect Meets
Favor of Government
(Fiid News)
Approval v Garfield county's
new hard surf-wi roM project by
the federal bureau oi roads was
announced in a telegram to Roy L
'Emry e::etary of the Enid cham
I ber of commerce Monday after-
noon
Notice of the approval by the
federal bureau was also telegraph-
ed to the state highway depart-
ment and this department will
start immediately upon routine
work necessary to the letting of
the contract which is expected to
take about a month This in turn
means that it will be approximately
approximately fifteen miles of hard
surfaced roads The routing of the
road is still problematical although
it is said at the court house that
the project as first laid out will
stand that is three miles to the
east one mile north and one mile
west and the remainder of the
funds to be spent on the south
road The three miles to the east
would make the east road approxi-
mately seven miles in length

Simple Operation
Cures Flying Hens
Many people in small towns are
bothered with their neighbors’
chickens and many farmers are
troubled with certain hens which
insist on flying over the garden
fence and feeding on the delicacies
This habit of ’ flying can be easily
cured by a single operation on the
wing This single operation con-
sists in cutting a ligament in the
wing and does not cause the bird
to carry a drooped or slipped wing
First remove a few feathers
around the second joint Spread
the wing out to its full width and
you will see just beneath the skin
on the outer edge of the second
joint a small white ligament or
cartilage Insert a small knife
blade under the ligament and cut
it in two pulling upward and out-
ward on the knife Then cut a
piece from the end of the cartilage
one-sixteenth of an inch long This
may be done with a pair of scissors
or with a knife The object in re-
moving this section is so the cartil-
age will never grow together again
Since no major arteries are en-
countered you will find this a yery
simple and practically bloodless
operation

Diamond Core Test
Is Under Way Again
The Coraar Oil Company Sulli-
van Diamond Drilling company and
Enid parties have resumed drilling
around 703 feet at No J Smalley
farm in the northwest of the north-
east of 13-25-4 w five miles south-
west of Lament Drilling was com-
menced at this test on July 1 Af-
ter spudding in a new boiler had j
to be installed and later a well had
to be dug to supply the boilers with
water as the water from the Salt
Folk river carries too much salt
Trouble was experienced while
drilling but it is understood that
previous difficulties have been over-
come and operation is resulting in
the making of a fast hole The
drill carries an eight-inch diamond
bit the only one of the kind now
in use in the mid-continent region
