Find Gas
In Allison
Test Well
GUYMON, OKLAHOMA, THURSDAY, MARCH 9, 1922.
The Home the Town Built!
Those V&ho have an interest in the
Allison Test Well north oi Texhoma
are wearing beaming countenances this
week. The first of the week oil shines
were being brought to the surface in
every bucket brought out, and they
were feeling exuberant. This was at
a depth of about 1000 feet. On Tues-
day evening about 5 o'clock something
happened. The drill was blown up sev-
eral hundred feet, until it nearly went
out of the well, and there was pan-
demonium for a time. After things
got settled around so the workmen felt
safe in getting near, it was found that
the well was filling up with water, and
at the present time, there is about 800
feet of water in the hole. The gas is
bubbling up through this great depth
of water in no uncertain way.
But the great rush of gas caused
other troubles. The hole had been
drilled three hundred feet below the
casing, and the force of the escape
caused sand and mud to settle in the
hole to a heighth of about 80 feet. This

NEED INSTRUMENTS
TO BUIf D THE BAND
Band leader. Royal Claycomb, re
ports that a number of boys are inter-
ested in the new band organization,
but that most of them are unable to
procure instruments. At the meeting
of the business meiklast month, it was
s'sted that the organization would
help in the instrumentation of a band,
*>"d Mr. Claycomb will have a list of
the nieces needed at the meeting next
Monday night. A good band with
eeod big membership is one of the
eminent needs of the Panhandle fair
town, and it can only be had and main-
tained by the training of young musi-
cians to fill the ranks as the older ones
dron out. Guvmon has a wonderfully
good band made up out of her business
men, but it is impossible for them to
lwa'« meet the demands upon their
time that is required to keep up its in
strumentation and numbers.
This is the home so clean and neat
That adds so much to the looks of the street;
That makes the strangers wish that they
.ggisJ
Could take it along when they go away.
And the neighbors are glad that everyone had
A hand in the home the town built.
One More
Big Snow
For Crops
THFSFWASTTAN SALE
OCCURSMARCH 27TH
The Short Horn Cattle and Poland
China Hog Sale that was advertised
to take place on the P. H. Sebastian
place, 8 miles east and three south of
Gray, Okla., and 7 miles east and
north of Perryton, Texas, on Febru
ary 28th, was postponed on account
of the big snow storm. This ante ia
now announced to occur on March 27th.
Mr. Sebastian phones us that he will
sell 27 head of pure bred Shorthorn
cattle and 32 big type Poland China
hogs on this date, and.that it is a rare
opportunity for those interested In
these breeds of stock to replenish their
holdings. Mr. Sebastian Is one of the
well known breeders of his section of
the country, and is known to most of
the Texas county stock men.
„This is the youth with pep and vim;
Clean, honest labor looks good to him;
He is the one who owns the place ^
As you can see by his satisfied face;
The property stands in his own name—
To "own a home" is plenty of fame—
And he takes part in the village biz.,
To hold up the value of what is his,
For this is the home the town built.
This is the maid so filled with love,
Who makes the home like the Heaven above;
Her "work" is "play" the whole day long,
She fills the house with happy song,
For the house is new and clean you see,
And just as convenient as it can be—
For this is the house the town built.
But what is this army that stands outside
And watches the home with looks of pride?
Why, they are the ones who helped to build
This HOME! No wonder with joy they're filled!
They, too, deserve their "place in the sun,"
For it is a wonderful work they have done-
Constructing the home the town built.
First, the ARCHITECT drew the plan;
Then the lot was got from a RFAL ESTATE man;
The LAWYER found that the title was right;
And the BANKER showed the money in sight.
The LABORER dug the cellar so deep;
And the MASON made the foundation to keep
The base for the BRICK MASON'S solid wall
And the chimney above, so straight and tall.
The CARPENTER bought from the LUMBER YARD
All manner of wood, both soft and hard,
To make the partitions, the shelves and the doom.
The shady porch and the wide, smooth floors.
The ROOFER shingled (perhaps he tinned)
And the GLAZIER guarded 'gainst too much wind.
The PLUMBER saw that the water was right;
The GAS and EI.ECTR1C men handled the light;
The LATHER and PLASTERER covered the wall
And the PAINTER finished the last of all.
But these are just the ones who build;
The house is empty and must be filled;
So the wst of the town then takes a part
To prove that each has a will and a heart
Hanford Mac Nider, National Com- WHEAT GROWERSS
To make that house a HOME indeed—
And here is the rest of the jingly screed.
The FURNITURE man gives a table and bed,
A chair and a carpet on which to tread.
The DRYGOODS man provides the sheets
And towels and napkins for the eats.
The CROCKERY man sets up a cup
And a plate and dish from which to sup.
The CUTLERY man then gives the tools,
(Knife, fork and spoon) by fashion's rules.
The HARDWARE dealer would think it strange
If he could not provide the range
Together with many a pot and pan
That a woman needs to feed a man.
These are the men, if the house is small,
Who helped to build, but they arc not all.
If the maiden wants a PIANO to play,
An ALARM CLOCK to waken her early each day,
A VACUUM CLEANER, a PICTURE FRAME,
A FRONT DOOR PLATE to hold her namp,
Then others step into rank and file
To make her house a HOME WORTH WHILE:
For this is the home the TOWN built.
The GROCER, the BAKER, the seller of MEAT,
The MERCHANTS who handle all good things to eat;
The ICE and the MILK and the EGGS and the FOOD,
The COAL and the CLOTHES and the GAS and the WOOD;
, The STOREKEEPERS handling all things she can uae;
The EDITOR telling the latest news.
The PREACHER, the LAWYER, the DOCTOR, the JUDGE,
The MOWER OF LAWNS and the MAKER of FUDGE.
There's hardly a soul in the town, you will find,
Who hasnt some sort of connection to bind
His personal profit and happiness through
His part in constructing a "HOME" for just two.
And every HOME ia the to wins the sa*cl <
It's a wonderful work and a beautiful game!
The TOWN ia the gainer as well as the pair.
For their comfort and ease make them permanent there.
And every new dwelling that opens ita door
For a loving pair and their worldly store
Makes the town worth living in that much more—
For This is the Home the Town Builf !
The second big snow of the
now covers the Panhandle Country. Be-
tween 8 and 9 o'clock last night, a
heavy, wet snow began to fall, and It
has fallen continuously up to the hoar
we go to press, and we believe it ia
safe to say that the wheat fields in
the vicinity of Guymon are coveiad
at least to a depth of seven ar
eight inches with the best kind of
snow. The snow of last week was diy
and accompanied by a fierce wind,
which caused portions of the wheat
fields to be left dry, but not this tine.
The half rain and half snow at the
start of this last fall has made it stick.
Farmers coming into town Monday
and Tuesday gave fine reports of the
sprouting of the wheat. Romo of
them reported that where the wheat
had been sprouted and the sprout died
earlier in the season, a second sprout
seemed to be starting, and that all that
would be needed to get a wheat crop
was more moisture to follow. With
this great snow on top of this condi -

The Dsily Oklahoman of February
27th gives quite an extensive write up
of the Cowboy's and Cowgirl's Wild-
west Park Association, headod by one
J. M. Cook, who for a time was work-
ing on his project here. From what
ti e Oklahoman prints, It would seem
that these who invested their dollar in
the plan will have s certificate, but
that's about all. We doubt if there
w.-re any investors that anticipated
much more.
