FOURTH TO BE
QUIET DAY
chiekasha Win Rest and Celebrate in
Other Places

Tomorrow is the nations natal day
and win be duly celebrated by the
citizens of the city. The railroad
shops wills close. The stores, banks
and business houses will not open dur
ing the day and everything will ap-
pear as Sunday, except possibly, the
occasional boom Of the fire cracker.
"A nice quiet Fourth" is the unwrit-
ten law of Chickasha and no fault
can be found by those having in charge
the enforcement Of this provision.
There will be no picnic to stir the
animation. Of the small boy, nor will
there be program Of public speaking
to afford the amateur orator an oppor-
tuity to declaim his nations great
ness. A large number Of people will
attend out Of town celebrations, the
majority Of them going to Oklahoma
City; few wiz attend the exercises
at Waurika. At Verden, Rush
Springs, Tuttle and many other plac-
es in the county, celebrations will BE-
held. Local sports have arranged a
rabbit hunt in the afternoon. Some
viii go fishing, othrs will devote ths
day to meditation and prayer.
Flags will fly from all public
buildings and from many residences
Confectioneries that will be open viii
be decorated with the national colori
and everywhere Old Glory will be il
evidence adding charm to the gals
day.

cruisers Tennessee and Washington
are to be- sent to the Pacific COMES the
that sixteen battleships will eventual
" be sent there. II will not be hurl
ried but viii be on its way and will
require about year for its concentra-
tion. President Roosevelt has been
going over the situation with Secre-
tary Metcalf and the latter has gone
over it in turn with the highest naval
officers. The plans for the movement
have been formulated by the naval Of
ficers who have been wrestling with
the problem Of the disposition Of the
navy. The President has approved
the plans.
While It may be said that this move
is aimed at Japan, the attitude Of the
government will be that it is aimed
at no one in particular, but at the
general protection Of American influ-
ence towards conserving Chinese in
tegrify. The plan Of dividing the
fleet, sending part to the Pacific and
keeping part in the Atlantic has been
vetoed by the naval strategists, who
say the For Eastern war taught the
wisdom Of keeping fleets intact. There
is no question that the administration
fears the movement in the Pacific viii

COLORED BOY IN TROUBLE

Henry Parker, colored lad about
twelve years old, was placed in jail
last night charged with assault. AT
the colored skating rink a number Of
small children were standing on the
outside gazing through small open
ing when Parker came along and stab
ed at the children with a stick. He
struck Allene Wilson, a small col
ored girl, in the eye, rupturing ths
eyeball. As a result she may lose the
other eye.

held at Tulsa July H. The alleged
gerrymander il the legislative appor-
tionment Is disliked by the republic
cans more than any other portion Of
the constitution. Inasmuch as the
democrats have nominated their legis-
aative candidates according to this
apportionment, the republicans are
positive that the apportionment will
not be changed.
The republicans were never in as
great distress as they are now. It is
probable, that even If the state con-
vention should decide against the nom
ination Of ticket, there viii be en-
ough republicans to form a bOlting fac
tion and nominate a ticket, which
would divide the party. Republican
leaders declare that the nomination
Of ticket, especially county ticket,
would give thousands Of republican
votes for the constitution, because the
candidates would forget party poll
cies in their desire to get office. On the
other hand, with only democratic
ticket in the field, there would be sucE
inertia among democrats, especially
those opposed to the constitution, tha'
large numbers would stay at home ant
fail to vote. This would weaken th'
showing in Washington.

During the past season remarkable
progress has been made in the culti-
walton Of a new species Of potato In
the department Of vienne, in France.
1t originated in Uruguay, and Is called
the Solanum Commersoni. Amid its
new environment In France. and by
dint OF careful cultivation and selec-
ton, 1t has developed several forms
which promise to become fixed. and to
possess much value as additions to the
food resources Of Europe Among these
forms, all springing from one parent
species, there are yellow variety. a
white variety, red variety and va
riety not specially characterized by
color, all Of which possess distinctive
shapes and qualities. A fact that par
ticularly interests botanists and cult.
vators is that these varieties have ev-
identity not yet reached their final set
tied forms, and the experiments Of
NJ. Labergerie in vienne are closely
watched because 1t is thought that they
will throw light upon the unsettled
question of the general origin Of the
potato.

Feeding stock.

Giving the cows coarse food, in order
to dispose of such foods, will not add
to the quality Of the milk. nor the
quantity, but it puts the COWS to service
in converting such materials into ma
nure. A good farmer, however, can
not afford to keep cow simply to
make manure. The manure should be
considered only as a by-product. To
make an animal profitable, not only
should the coarse and bulky materials
be used, but they should be REINFORCED
by the best feeding stuffs that can be
produced, so as not only to Increase
the yield, but also render the manure
more valuable.
