This is chapter three of the story
entitled, Paving Begins Monday
which has been running as a serial
for several weeks. But the assurance
Is given that it is no joke this time.
Mayor Bridges stated today that
the contractors were ready to begin
putting in the curb and guttering for
Chickasha's paved street next Mon
day and the work on Kansas arsnue
would be started without ny further
delay.
Arrangements have already been
made for hauling the Grady county

the asphalt" said the mayor. "The
investigation Of the city engineer is
conclusive that this stone is as good
for the purpose as can be found any
where and there is plenty Of it to sup
ply the whole state. BY using home
stone, we not only keep more Of the
money in Chickasha, but we also en-
courage a home industry. Grady

The c. H. S. girls basket ball team

being Is to II in favor Of the visit
ing team Although the girls feel
disappointed over being beaten, they
have the satisfaction Of knowing they
played a good game, and that with
a little more practice they would have
been able to win. AS it was Oklaho-

good as Oklahoma City's, but the
home girls lacked the close team work
Of their foes. The visiting team al

tered the field. however. This
element is the organized efforts
of the farmers of the wheat
growing regions.
Some weeks ago the American
Society of Equity, representing
the organized principles of. the
wheat growers, began a cam
paign for better prices. Not on
ly was there an effort to pool the
crops of the present year and
hold them for better prices, but
the portion of last years crop in
the hands of the farmers was
considered in the plan. If no
more wheat is delivered to the
buying elevators, it will take but
a very short time to so exhaust
the terminal supply that there
will be a demand for wheat at
any price.
The fact that the present SEN
sational feature of the present
market was an advance Monday
of eight cents on December de-
liveries, would indicate that next
years crop is being moro seri-
ously considered than any other
phase of the present condition.
December deliveries are the
sDeculations in the part of the
crops which is put on the mar
tat late in the fall after the
turner's have completed their
farm work, and comprises the
larger portion of the crop. IN
the past the immense supply in
excess of the demand has forced
the price downward. But if the
supply were withheld from the
markedly the producers them
selves the demand in excess of
thesupply would increase the
price. This is the condition
which seems to confront the
wheat ring at this time. The
efforts of the Society of Equity
are bearing fruit, and the plans
for withholding the crop from
the market has made necessary
the enormous advance in price
in order to secure options on the
same.
But the farmers have not suf-
fered by this attempted specul
alton. They can afford to sell
their entire crop at one dollar
which was near the price Of
July and September wheat, anC
a few cents below December.
The condition of the market al
this time and the remarkable ad
vance since the agitation was
commenced by the farmers or.
ganization, should convince the
wheat growers that they have
make the market price of their
products if they only have the
nerve to do so, and so combine
as to unity their efforts. They
