FOUR WELLS MAKING PROGRESS;
DEVELOPMENT MAY REVIVE SOON
CALVIN C00LIDGE PRESIDENT OF U. S.
Bullington on the Hawkins
tract off-setting Peter No_ 2 has
drilled to 1050 feet and is now ^
under-reaming the six inch cas-
ing to set above the pay. This
well picked up a good looking
eight foot sand at 960 to 968
with a good showing of oil and
gas. This well should be com-
pleted by the Wednesday of next
week possibly sooner.
Peter Oils Inc. have decided
to discontinue drilling for the
present. Their No. 3 well has been
abandoned. This would have made
a small producer of 12 to 15 bar-
rells. At one time there was 17 o
feet of oil in the well. The man-
agement had determined in this
well to test for lower sands than
the known pay. The wrell was
drilled to 1156, but a great deal
of water was found. When an at-
tempt was made to plug off the
wafer below the pay sand it was
unseccessful. The well has been
filled with cement and mud and
abandoned.
The Maples test on the Jones
farm Northwest of Peter Kemp,
announce the hauling in of a Star
machine this week. This test will
be watched with interest as a fac-
tor by which can be determined in
part the area of the Peter Kemp
pool.
On the Morgan farm south
of Peter Kemp lease about one
mile, the Norton McCann test is
drilling at about 800 feet.
The Hudson Lamb wild cat on
the lower tract west of Orth has
been abanoned os a dry hole.
The Eagle Greek Oil Compan>
at Swastika are coring in likely
looking formations with good pros
^cts of a well. j
irdiy Able expect to^drili)
in today and looks good for a well.
Taylor et al on the High .tower
tract are around 400 feet and shut
down on account of scarcity of
water.
Creighton et al are around a
1000 feet. This well is being
closely watched by the oil men
who believe they have a good
chance for a well.
There seems to be an under-
current of optimism among the
operators in the Olney area found-
ed on the belief that indications
point to a quicker recovery to
normal conditions than was antic-
ipated.

Encampment For
Boys and Girls9 Clubs
Miss Blanche Hart Smith,
county demonstration agent, is
planning an encampment for all
her club boys and girls in the
county at the Shawnee Park in
Graham, August 10 and 11.
Every boy and girl connected in
the remotest degree with her work
duiing the year is invited to bring
camping equipment and be pres-
ent August 10 and 11. The par-
ents also have a cordial invitation
to join in the encampment.
Shawnee Park is an ideal place
for encampments. The tourist
park adjacent to Shawnee is
equipped with water, lights and
gas and the people of Graham
will render every assistance pos-
sible to show the boys and girls
of the county a good time. Coffee
and ice water will be furnished
free.
Miss Smith is planning a good
program for the young people
while in the city. They will visit
the flour mill, ice plant, light
plant, packing plant, pumping
station and other places of inter-
est while at the encampment.
Some of the State agents will be
in Graham on those dates and
will deliver lectures to the boys
and girls.
Miss Smith is very anxious for
all the boys and girls and their
parents to remember the date an
the place. A good time awaits
them.—Graham Leader.
Miss Pearlie Wells returned
Tuesday from Dallas.
Since our last issue President
Warren G. Harding died at San
Francisco, Cal., of apoplexy fol-
lowing an attack of ptomaine poi-
soning from which he was slowly
recovering. The ptomaine attack
was suffered while the president
and party was on a United
States vessel off the coast of
Alaska, Mr. Harding’s death was
unexpected and occurred while his
wife was reading to him, he all
the while making interested com-
ments on the text.
Vice-President Calvin Coolidge
was quickly inaugurated presi-
dent and is now on duty.
Cause of Harding's
Death Is Outlined
Doctors Ray L. Wilbur and
Charles M. Cooper, who were the
San Francisco physicians called
into consultation by Brigadier
Sawyer when President Hard-
ing’s illness was first announced
have issued a statement giving
their joint conclusions of the
causes which resulted in the death
of Mr. Harding.
“We have been asked by Presi-
dent Harding’s personal 'physi-
cians before they leave San Fran-
cisco to put on record our impres-
sion as to the cause of the Presi-
dent’s illness and sudden death.
“As already indicated in the
bulletins the heart was enlarged
and probably the blood vessels
which carried to it its nutriment
thickened, for his history shows
that previously he had had angi-
nal naifestations and that
the
insufficiently fed. Furthermore
he had suffered from nocturnal
dyspnoea and a cheyene stokes
t}Tpe of respiration; yet, as often
happens in such cases he had full
confidence in his bodily
strength; his mind remained most
alert and his judgement unim-
paired.
“At 4:30 p. m. yesterday,
prior to his sudden apoplectic
seizure, it seemed to Mrs. Harding
and to us that the fight was won
-and that with sufficient rest and
the carrying out of a definite
medical program, this illustrious
man, in fair physical health and
in full mental vigor, could be' pre-
served for this country.
Two Rigs Being
Run By Texhoma
An example of how the larger
companies are cutting down pro-
duction is furnished by the Tex-
homa company, which now has
only two rigs running.
'Six weeks ago Texhoma was
running 23 rigs but the over-pro-
ductiou in this area has caused
the company to quit drilling
wherever possible. No employes of
the Texhoma have been laid off
in the general offices nor at the
refinery, according to N. H. Mar-
tin, vice president, who says this
end if the business is not effect-
ed by the drilling shutdown.

Henry Ford will not run for
president, Thomas A. Edison, the
famous inventor, believes. Asked
about Ford’s possible candidacy,
Edison answered with a chuckle:
“Ford doesn’t want to be presi-
dent; his wife is against the
idea.”
Organization Made
for County Fair
4iast Tuesday at the regular
luncheon meeting of the Graham
Chamber of Commerce an organ-
ization was perfected and plans
laid for a County Fair to be held
in Graham in October of the pres-
ent year, and annually thereafter.
A charter from the State has
been asked for, and directors as
follows were elected:
M. K. Graham, P. K. Deats, R.
V. Tidwell, A. A. Morrison, S. B.
Street, G. P. Stewart, J. S. Cris-
well, A. W. Kay, E. C. Reed and
J. C. Lovelace.
County agent A. L. Robertson
was in Olney Saturday and he is
an enthusiastic booster for the
Fair, and is also very anxious that
Olney have a community fair some
time this Fall prior to the County
Fair. He seems to think that it
would be a great thing both for
the farmers and for the business
people, and The Enterprise is in-
clined to agree with him.
Prizes totaling $1,000.00 will be
awarded at the first County Fair,
business people of Graham having
pledged that much in cash. Com-
mittees are now busy making the
plans for the fair, and it is ex-
pected to be one of the most suc-
cessful County Fairs held in this
section of the State.
Fort Worth, Aug. 8.—The

ing board unanimously awarded

The Old Reliable
PETER SCHUTLER WAGONS
We have just received a shipment of Peter Schutler wagons in the 3 and S^-inch
with 12-foot bed? break and spring seat They are made up to the Schutler standard and
the price is not more than for any other standard.
JOHN DEERE DISK PLOWS
Other makes of dry land plows have come and gone, but the John Deere is still here,
and we think there are more John Deeres in use in this country than any other. We
have both the large and pony disc, Our prices are right.
ISK HARROWS
The John Deere disk harraw is one of the few harrows that you don’t have to pile
all the loose rock on your farm on them to keep it in the ground. This harrow is so con-
structed that it takes ground and your team don’t have to pull 300 pounds of rock all
over your farm. It costs no more to buy the best.
Are You Ready?
Read yfor what? Ready to go to preparing your ground for next year. That’s what.
If you need anything in our line, would like to figure with you.

Olney Wins From
Archer City Team
The Olney baseball club refeated
Archer City on the local grounds
Wednesday by a score of 14 to 3.
Graves was batted out of the box
in the first half of the fifth inning
by the terrific slugging of the Ol-
ney team while Kunkel for the lo-
cal club pitched good ball through-
out the nine innings allowing
only three runs. No games are
scheduled for next week, however,
it is likely that Seymour or some
other team will be played on the lo-
cal grounds.

CHURCHES
Christian Missionary Society
The Missionary Society of the
first Christian Church met Mon-
day, August 6th, with Mrs, Chas,
Wright, Seven members and two
visitors were present.
Subject: The Kingdom of God.
Several very interesting talks af-
ter which we were dismissed with
praj^er by Mrs. Harrell to meet
with Mrs. Shaw on Now. 3rd. The
Hostess assisted by her daughter,
Miss Olo, served delicious re-
freshments.
Rev. J. E. Chase, of Newcastle,
will preach at the First Christian
Church Sunday night, August 12,
at 8:15. After the preaching ser-
vices the ordinence of Baptism
will be adminstrated.
Everyone is most cordially in-
vited.
Services At Lutbran Church
Services in the English lan-
guage will be conducted at the
Lutheran church next Sunday.
An opinion very prevalent
among men in our days is this:
All good people go to Heaven, all
bad people go to Hell. Some also
believe in a pugutory or place of
pobation. This opinion, however,
is contrary to the word of God.
On the basis of the parable of the
Pharise and Publican next Sun-
day’s sermon will show, how it
happened that the Pharisee was
lost in spite of all his goodness,
and how it happened that the
Publican was saved in spite of all
his sins. We would especiately
extend an earnest invitation to the
churchless and to all who believe
that every good man in a moral
sense, is saved, to attend this ser-
vice and to hear this sermon.
Services begin at 10:00 o’clock.
O. J. KLENK.
