Beaver Oil Company
To Resume Drilling
As a result of a conference of the
stockholders held in Liberal last Fri-
day, it is more than likely that drilling
•will be resumed at the Beaver Oil &
Gas Company prospect, eighteen
miles southeast of Guymon, within the
next two weeks. It is believed that a
plan has been worked out that will
finance the work to a depth of 2000
feet. The Liberal prospects to the
north, and the Amarillo wells to the
south, both have oil showings at 1600
feet, and it is felt that the Beaver
test will do as well and it is hoped,
better. The activity of J. B. Craig of
Liberal, the Company Manager, and
the drillers, about town, looks good.

HAND IN A LIST
OF IMPROVEMENTS
The Herald announced last week
that it would publish a list of the im-
provements and new buildings under
way in Guymon this week. We in-
tended to canvass the town so we
-would miss none of these, but circum-
stances have compelled us to hustle
both day and night in the offices of
both the Herald and the Denny Print-
ing Company, and so this list must be
deferred until next week, or possibly
later. In the meantime, we would be
pleased if the people would hand in
notation of these improvements. We
know that there are many of .them,
and it will make splendid reading mat-
ter, not to mention the uplift to the
town.
The editor enjoyed a trip to the
Eureka Consolidated school in the
northeast part of the county last Fri-
day, in company with J. B. Hisey,
County Agent, and J. A. Larrick,
State Organizer of the Oklahoma
Wheat Growers, and attended the
meeting of their Farm Bureau that
night. They have a splendidly ar-
ranged three-room school building,
and evidence a community spirit there
Khat is commendable. When the roads
get bad up there, they don't fuss at
the Commissioners—they fix them.
They planned a road building cam-
paign last Friday night, and made ar-
rangements for other progressive
work that will enhance the social and
financial welfare of their community.
It is a pity that every rural commu-
nity is not similarly organized.
testants acquitted themselves with close of school,
credit and altho all could not win first
place all derived benefit from having
participated. Following are the win-
ners:

WHITTET MILINERY
IN NEW LOCATION
The Whittet Millinery moved this
week from the balcony in the Latham
Dry Goods Store, and now have nice
commodious quarters in the room for-
merly accupied by Harry Clark, the
real estate man, in the same building,
which is just two doors west of Main
street, on Broadway. Mrs. Whittet
and her daughter are arranging their
stock most artistically there, and are
furnishing the room so it will be a
cozy retreat for their customers while
waiting for others who are transac-
ting business in the town. Their
stock and business had outgrown the
room afforded by the balcony in the
Latham Store, and they are happy to
be so much more comfortably located.
LITERARY CONTEST
CREATING INTEREST
The preliminary contest for the
purpose of selecting contestants to
represent the Guymon Grade Schools
at the Literary Contest at Goodwell
tomorrow, was held in the Hi^h
School auditorium Tuesday evening.
About twenty pupils entered this
contest and rendered their selections
in «uch a manner -that their enthusi-
asm was inspiring. ButOnly four could
win and the writer .thinks it was ex-
ceedingly difficult to make a choice
from such splendid renditions. Basil
Martin was the winner of first place
in the reading contest; Charlotte
"Howsley won first in piano solo; Irene
Gwinn in'vocal solo and Anna Faria
and Cbirlott Howsley were first in
vocal duet. These five pupils will rep-
resent the Guymon Grades in Good- j _ T**rnTxTi7C!

The Texas County Track Meet and

Guymon on April 22nd. Considerable
interest is already being shown and
an eventful day is contemplated.
The various grades of the schod!
are organizing Junior Red Cross So-
cieties. Considerable interest is being
shown and some interesting work for
tie Juniors is being planned.

The Guymon Grade School repre-
sentatives will go to Goodwell on Fri-
day to participate in the Track Meet

TEXHOMA LIKES
,OUR BUILDING PLAN
A committee of the enterprising
business men of Texhoma were in
Guymon Tuesday, investigating the
plan of the Guymon Building Club,
which has erected and sold a number
of bungalows during the past few
months. The business men of the
state line town tell us that they are
going to form a similar club there and
wanted to find at first hand what me-
thod we worked under. They were
given all the information possible by
Manager Youtsler and Secretary Ken-
nedy of the local club, anl seemed en-
thused over the plan. They also in-
vited the officers of the Security
Building and Loan Association to at-
tend the next meeting of their Com-
mercial Club, and expressed the belief
that their townspeople would co-oper-
ate with Guymon in this enterprise for
the mutual benefit of the two towns.
This'is certainly the proper spirit, and
it will be met more than l;ulf way by
the busWss men of Guymon.
COUNTY WOODMEN
HOLD CONVENTION
The County Convention of the Mod-
ern Woodmen of America was held in
the Masonic Hall of Guymon last
night, April 6th. R. L. Howsley was
chairman and S. H. Gwinn clerk. S.
H. GWinn was chosen as delegate to
th£ Oklahoma State Camp meeting,
and A. O. Mundy, of Goodwell, as al-
ternate. Goodwell was chosen as the
place of meeting of the next County
Camp in 1925.
RAIN AND HAIL FELL
MONDAYAFTERNOON
Guymon had a heavy rain accom-
panied by wind and hail last Monday
afternoon. Quite a number of win
dows about the city were broken cut.
The storm was of a local nature, and
did not extend but a few miles to the
east and west of the town.
ARE NOW RUNNING
Both of the old engines in the Guy-
mon Light and Power Plant are now
i in operation, and are doing as good
service as can be expected of them.
The water supply is also much better
than it has been for some time past,
which is gratifying to the consumers.
When the town was without water
for two days last week, the situation
seemed precarious.
THE K. K. K. CLUB
The K. K. K. Club met Wednesday
afternoon with Mrs. George E. Elli-
son. A splendid program was ren-
dered.

The first annual sale of E. D. Zim-

As a result of two meetings, oai
held last Saturday night, and on*
Tuesday night of this week, articles
of agreement were signed, increasing
the membership of the Guymon Build*
ing Club to twenty-five members, each
member investing another $100 in the
enterprise. This will enable the Club
to keep three buildings in course of
construction. While this enterprise
has paid a nice percentage on the i
vestment, it is not a money makinc
venture. Its object was to materially
aid the growth of the town, and in this
it has been eminently successful. They
now own the sites for three new build-
ings, work on which will commence
within the next few days. The fine
new. homes the club has erected are
proving an asset to the town, both in
beauty and intrinsic value.
