GHIGKI ISHA TRADES ASSEMBLY
Adopts Resolutions Condsmning Has
kell and Candidate for Sheriff

At a meeting Of the Chickasha
Trades Assembly held last meeting
night the following resolution was
adopted without dissenting vote:
1T having been brought to our at
tention that C. N. Haskell Of Mus
kogee has announced himself can
didate for governor, subject to the
will of the democratic voters of the
state of Oklahoma at the primaries
to be held May 2Srd, 1907, and in
view of the fact that c. N. Haskell
took an active part in the organiza-
tion Of the Citizens Alliance at Mus
kogee in the spring Of 1905, and said
organization was for the purpose Of
disrupting and destroying the unions
of Muskogee, which were organized
for the purposes of securing better
wages and conditions, that their wives
and children might have the necessi-
ties of life.
Be it resolved, that, we, the Chick
asha Trades and Labor Assembly
condemn the action taken by the
Muskogee Citizens Alliance in trying
to destroy our sister organizations at
Muskogee whose welfare is ours, and
be it further resolved that in view Of
the fact that G. N. Haskell took an
active part in organizing the Alliance
and was cAairman Of said Alliance,
and also made some bitter speeches
against organized Labor that we ask
our brothers all over the great state
of Oklahoma not to support or vote
for c. N. Haskell, and to use every
honorable means to defeat him at the
democratic primaries.
"And be it further resolved, that,
if C. N. Haskell receives the nomi-
nation for governor at the hands Of
the democratic party, we the labor
unions Of Chickasha will use every
means in our power to defeat his
election at the general election to be
held in August, 1907.
"Also we denounce Dave Fill foi
the action he has taken toward or.
ganized labor.
Therefore, we denounce any mar
who offers as candidate for any Of
fee until he has shown a clean record
as a union man.

DON'T WAIT UNTIL SATURDAY
TO DO YOUR BUYING
An Appeal to the City Trade Of Chick.
asha by the Merchants
and Clerks

We want to ask the good people of
Chickasha to do as much Of their
trading during the week as possible
thereby leaving Saturday foT the
farmers and the people who cannot
get to the stores any other time. The
best time to trade is IN the morning,
during the i0eek ioksn the stock is in
good condition and the sales people are
feeling fresh and not tired and soorn
otst as they are on Saturday.
The city people win find that If
they adopt the plan Of trading during
the week and trading in the morning
as much as possible, they will get
much more satisfactory service.
Summer is coming on and the girls
standing behind the counters for Is
hours during the hot weather, as they
have been compelled 10 do on Sat-
urdays, is extremely injurious to
their health. In addition to the long
hours they wait on about three times
as many customers as on any other
day. The government is making
eight hours a work day with all kinds
Of labor on all public work. The
salespeople work ten to twelve hours
every day and fifteen on Saturday.
Don't you think they are entitled to
some consideration? If every man
and women in Chickasha will give
the above their earnest consideration
and do their buying during the week
and in the mornings as much as pos
sible; they can make conditions a
great deal better, both for the stores
and themselves. Wont you help us?

CATS WHISPERS.
These Sensitive Organs Are Relic Of
Jungle Days.

jungle lays
1t is perhaps not generally known
that a cats power of discernment, es-
pecially at night, is due almost as
much to his whiskers as to his eyes
To any one who goes to a menagerie
and looks at the giant cats Of the for
est-the lion and his like-the purpose
of these vibrissae, as science names
the hairs that project from the muzzle
and from above the eyes, is evident
enough.
They are delicate organs Of touch,
wonderful mechanisms Of warning.
Each one grows from a follicle, or
gland, nerved to exquisite sensibility.
Its slightest contact with any obstacle
is distinctly felt by the animal, though
the hair itself is tough and insensible.
Those exaggerated whiskers on the
muzzle often project to each side of
the animal so far that from point to
point they stretch to just the width Of
his body.
Imagine, now, lion stealing through
a jungle at night, tracking his prey,
where the stir Of twig gives alarm
His long hairs indicate through the
incest nerves any object that may be
in his velvet path A touch stops him
short before pushing through some
close thicket where the rustling leaves
and boughs would tell aloud his pres
ence. Wherever his head may be
thrust without a warning from the
vibrissae there his body may pass
poiselessly, and it Is their aid, in con-
junction with the soft cushions Of bis
feet, that enables him to travel as ST.
lently as the snake.-Scrap Book.

TAPPING" STEEL.
The Way Manufacturers Conceal De-
fsets ln the Casting.

The Way Manufacturers Conceal De-
fsets in the Casting.
1t might very naturally have been /
Thought that If there was one trade I
which could be said to be free from
trickery and taking it was that Of steel |
manufacture. The mere fact that steel
Is synonymous with strength would
seem to bear out this view And yet
methods are sometimes adopted in the
making of steel which once again illus
trate the saying that there are tricks
In every trade.
At the same time it must be admit
ted that some Of these tricks when car
ried out do not necessarily mean
lessening In the ,soundness and quality
Of the material. For instance, it some
times happens that in casting piece
Of steel what is known as a elbow
hole" occurs. Often this is not noticed
until the steel has been cut and trim
med for the required purpose. In such
a case the hole is usually tapped" and
we'll fitting screw inserted, the head
Of the latter being filed of 50 closely
to the metal that it needs an expert
eye to detect any unusual feature
This is a trick which makes no differ
ence in the strength of the metal and
consequently is quite harmless.
Sometimes, however, a crack ap-
pears in piece of metal which it is
impossible to remedy by the usual ex-
pedients Of hammering and rolling.
The careful manufacturer will put the
piece on one side and make a fresh
casting, for if such a piece Of metal
were used as a crank shaft, for In
stance, it might split at time Of extra
strain and so bring untold disaster
On the other hand, the manufacture
er may decide that he cannot afford to
throw the faulty casting Oh one side,
and in order to cover the defect it is
put In the open air to rust. The wealth
er will most likely be found to have
filed the crack by the time the cast
ing is required, and no one outside the
foundry will have known Of its exist
ence until perhaps 1t causes a vessel to
become disabled. And, as it is almost
impossible to tell afterward how the
crack originated, the maker is quite
secure from blame.
One Of the most sensational scandals
which have agitated the engineering
world for some years past came tc
light not long ago in connection with
the building Of a great battleship
After a trial trip she was found to be
somewhat leaky, and an examination
of some of the plates forming the side
of the vessel revealed the startling fact
that the rivets had been put In the
holes cold and simply calked
When a ships plates are riveted to
gether 1t is usual not only Of course tt
drive the rivets in red hot, but also t
/ calk them over with special compost
ton as an extra caution against leak
: age. In the case mentioned the build
er was working under contract and ii
order to save time resorted to the tricl
described The result was that th
: strain on the plates quickly loosene'
the calking and some of the rivet
:, actually dropped out Of the holes.-
