DECIDE IT

Whether or not ehickasha is to
have baseball team this year ana
whether or not they desire member
ship in Sunday league with okIaho-
ma City and other towns, are the ques-
tions that must be settled within the
near future. and call has been issued
for a meeting of All baseball enthus-
lasts, to be held at the city hall Friday

~ H. Burgess tody received a ier
ter from the moguls Of the proposed
league at Oklahoma City stating that
on next Sunday a meeting win be held
in Oklahoma City for the purpose of
formulating plans for the league The
statement was to the effect that the
league would be maintained strictly as
an amateur proposition and that rep

Shawnee. III Reno and Guthrie and

asha represented at that time. in the
event Chickasha wanted a berth IN the
league The idea seems to be to play
ball only on Sundays and holidays. in
which event ii would undoubtedly be
money making proposition in Chick
asha. At least Chickasha should sup
port a club in a league Of that kind
and break even Gu the al.which would
be satisfactory to all concerned. II
seems a mutual proposition can be
handled here satisfactorily, and the
players viii be content, even II there
isn't enough left from the gate TO
more than pay expenses
All baseball fans are especially
urged to be present at the meeting and
express freely their views on the sub
ject If chickasha is to secure q
berth in the league. it is imperative
that a representative be sent to Okla.

the suppression Of the mnufacture,
sale or transportation in the United
States or any territory under its pro
lection Of any Intoxicating liquor

The Oklahoma Progressives have taken
step ahead OF the national conven-
tion. The same proposition was pro
posed in Chicago. but voted down J.
G. Rails Of Atoka. delegate to the
national convention at Chicago. moved
that the national prohibitio plank be
stricken from the platform. but this
was voted down by what seemed an
almost unanimous vote.

burden of his seven years and
the dignity of his position as president
of the Children's Congress, wiped his
brow, and gazed down at his audience
in brooding silence.
He had called the members in ses-

newest rival for public attention-the
Eugenic Baby. He felt that the fu-
ture was dark and deary for the little
tots in front of him, none of whom
were the offspring of eugenic mar
riages, recalling with a bang that his
own mother was near sighted and his
father had been a colicky baby.

himself moodily, for the son of such
union to develop perfect physical

Harrison Hartigan Hardtop, aged 4,
