DRILLING A WELL
NICHOLS HITS GAS
The Register man yesterday
had a talk with John Nichols, the
well driller, concerning a well he
drilled some years ago four miles
north of Luther, in whioh a pock-
et of gas was encountered. Mr.
Nichols says the drill was down
something over a hundred feet I
when the gas was found, and that
they could hear it escaping, and
smell it plainly.
The experience of Mr. Niohols
with thia well only goes to show
what is under this section of the
country. Many people are con-
fidently expeoting that when the
local company gets to drilling
that a new gas and oil field will
be opened up here.

OR. GEORGE HOWE
DIEDSUDDENLY
A report oomes that Dr. Georg
M. Howe, the man who recently
traveled over the country around
Luther in the interest of a Wioh
ita sanatarium, died in Oklahoma
City a few days ago from heart
failure. The body was shipped
to Memphis, Tenn., for burial
He was a son of Dr. J. T. Howe,
of Wiohita.
While Howe was at Luther he
hired a team of J. C. Arnett to
do his driving with. When he
settled up he gave Mr. Arnett
oheck for $18, which proved
be worthless. Deputy Ben Moore
looated Howe at Bristow and
brought him back to Luther
The matter was patched up and
Howe was allowed to go, and no-
thing further wa9 heard of him
until word was received of his
sudden death.

ber of 9ohool children in Luther

A CHANDLER GIRL
DRAWS A CLAIM
Among the list of the fortun-
ate ones in the Montana land
drawing is noted the name of
Minnie Hicks of Chandler. Her
number is 3260, which means
that she will probably secure a
good quarter section of land, i
There are approximately 8,000
quarter sestions of land in the
reservation and, allowing for the
average number who win in the
drawing but fail to file, this will
bring Miss Hicks’ choice well
under the 3,000 mark.
OIL CO. DIRECTORS
HOLD MEETING
The directors of the Luther Gas
4 Oil company met in regular
session Monday night. They are
figuring with several contractors
upon a contract and hope soon to
be able to announce thattheoon-
tract for a well has been let.
Preparing the Copy
“Copy is the soul of advertising,” and preparing copy that
attracts, interests and convinces is the difficult work of the ad-
vertiser. Among the things to be taken into consideration in
the preparation of the copy are the headlines, illustrations,
type, the space, class of people to be reached, season of the
year, eto.
The first purpose of the copy is to attract and interest,
through construction and arrangement. That is, the advertiser
must so prepare his copy as to draw the attention of the reader
away from the news matter long enough to make an impression
on his mind so the reader will mant to know more of the sub-
ject matter. The advertiser is competing with oapable writers
in the news section of the paper. He should make the copy so
attractive as to compel the attention of the reader, for the read-
er buys the paper to read the news, not the ads.
The attention of the reader can beat be secured by a proper
arrangement of the oopy before placing the copy in the hands
of the printer.
A matter of essential*importance in the preparation of the
copy is not to have space overcrowded, as this materially effects
the attractiveness of the ad. The advertiser can guard against
this by preparing a “dummy” of his copy. He will find by
personally laying out the copy and arranging the type matter,
etc., his ad will be much more attractive and, if the ads are
convincing, much more effective.
Another very important matter for the advertiser to bear
in mind is that good oopy in a paper at one place at a certain
time may not be good copy in another paper at another place
at another time. The oopy should fit the paper the place and
the time.

TO DRILL FOR OIL
UP NEAR CARNEY
Carney Enterprise: “A der
rick is being built on the Norman
Dixon farm, four miles northwest
of Carney by a straight line, and
five miles by seotion lines, and
drilling for oil will be started as
soon as the machinery can be
put in working order We have
been unable to get but few par
ticulars, but enough is known to
insure the people of this part of
the county that a test drilling for
oil northwest of the town is as-
sured. The location can be
reached from Carney easily over
a good road with good convey-
ances. We will endeavor to keep
our readers posted each week as
to the progress being made. It
will probably be two or three
weeks before drilling will oom-
menoe, as it will take some time’
to get everything ready to start
work. The dose proximity to
Carney of this test should cause
the people here to take on renew-
ed courage and get busy, for
there is but little doubt that other
wells will be drilled in this vic-
inity.”
