With a precipitation Of an inch and

mately the same amount extending
over a wide area in this section Of

maturing OF late feed crops. So much

Following the showers of the past
80 days, the rain, which fell gently.

meets immediate needs and is OF
vast value to the country with
a reasonably late fall. it is believed
that farmers in most sections Of the
country will have plenty OF feed to
carry them through the winter, which
is all important in view Of the short
corn crop.
AS to the effect on cotton, it is
said that while more bolls may ma
ture, if frost holds off long enough,
the deterioration in quality OF the
cotton already open win about coun-
terbalance this benefit and therefore
the rain win make little arprAeiable

Many farmers in this section have

age. and the rain win likely result
in the early starting OF the wheat

WANT MOTOR
CAR PUT
BACK
Petition Circulated by Nc
CraCken is Signed by
Business Men

Secretary Mccracken ofthe Retail
ers' Association is circulating a pefi-
ton among the busines men, which re-
quests the Rock Island to restore the
motor car service between this city
and waurika. The petition has been
signed by practically all the merch-
ants, bankers and leaders in other
lines Of business and viii be forward
ed to Gen Supt. Beacon.
The motor car formerly ran drily
between waurika and chickasha. ar
irving here in the morning and leav-
ing late in the afternoon, thus afford
ing the people Of the south half Of the
county an opportunity to come here to
trade or transact court business and
return home the same day. Since the
service was abandoned some months
ago there has been nothing TO take its
place and consequently it has worked
hardship on the people along the
llne south OF Cnlckasha.
The abandonment Of the motor car
service was talked OF last spring but
upon the urgent representations Of the
Chamber OF Commerce, officials Of the
company agreed to maintain it for two
months to determine whether Il could
be made TO pay. They declare it was
losing money Tor the company and
hence discontinued the service.
With all kinds Of business picking
up she citizens Of Chickasha believe
the motor car would carry a full load
OF passengers every day now and
therefore they are urging the restora-
ton Of the service.
