PUSHING WORK
ON TEST WELL
POLAND COMPANY WELL DOWN
200 FEET AND INDICATIONS
LOOK GOOD.

The people of Ardmore may wake
up some morning in the very near
future and find that right here at
home we have an inexhaustible sup
ply OF gas or oil-or both-for work
on the test we'll of the Poland Oil
and Gas company is progressing rap
idly and without hitch-the drill
now being down to a depth of 200
feet.
With the success that has been
attained by the Santa Fe people in
their operations in the Wheeler field,
the promoters OF the Poland compa-
ny have every assurance OF bringing
in a good producing well on their
holdings at the outskirts of the city.
The operations thus far lend every
encouragement to the ultimate sue
cess of the venture and oil experts
on the ground are very optimistic
as to the outcome. Those who are
experienced In the oil and gas in
dustry claim that there is no ques-
tion about these commodities exist
ing here in paying quantities, and
they assert that the surfact indi-
cations at the point where the test
well is being put down are similar
in all respects to those obtaining in
the greatest oil and gas belt in the
country.
The company proposes to sink the
present well to a depth of 1900 feet
and should II prove to be a dry
hole, other wells will be started lt
the completion of this one.

Chiropractic.

Since the announcements by Drs.
Riley & Cox, chiropractors, Noble
building, recently begun in the Ard
moreite, good many who are as
yet unfamiliar with this new method
OF healing the sick have expressed
desire to know more about It..
The best way for any one needing
treatment is to call personally at the
doctors offices, where full informa-
tion will be given cheerfully and
without charge.
Briefly speaking, however, the
many remarkable cures claimed by
this treatment, number of them
right here in Ardmore. have been
wrought by the simplest and most
natural process without tho use of
drugs. Upon the basis of a thorough
understanding of anatomy, particular,
ly with reference to the nervous
system, are effected scientific ad.
justments of the spinal column,
which free morbid nerve pressures
and restore balanced nerve force
to every part of the body.
Since every motion and function OF
the human organism depends on nor
NAL action of the nerves it can
! be readily understood how reason,
able this method Is in theory and
how effective for all sorts OF dis.
eases it is in practice Drs. Riley
& Cox cordially invite all sufferers
TO call for free consultation without
any obligation 10 take treatment
unless fully convinced that they will
| be permanently cured.
