Nora took down quart measure, in

But, IS Helen was far from an eN-

There was no doubt about it-they
had overcharged her ten cents.
He had added up the bin before he
knew her address, or undoubtedly he
would not have Overcharged her on
her first order. Helen was glad he
had not known. If it was that kind
of a store, she was fortunate to have
found it out so soon.
The stale. short-meas cranber-

the Overcharge seemed eliminating
evidence against their honesty. or at
least their efficiency. And Helen's
irritability. which still ranked. was
promptly transferred from BOlands to

SCHOOLS OF
CITY OPEN
ON SEPT.l4

Concerning the opening of the pub
lie schools, Supt. Ramey makes the
following announcement:
The city schools will open on Mon
day, the 14th of this month. All
classes must start in the new books
called for in the recent state adoption.
1t will take quite little time for all
the children in the schools to make
the exchange and get their new books
from the dealers. Children who know
what grade they will be in at the be-
ginning of school need not wait until
the first day to get their books.
Lists OF books for the grades with
the retail exchange prices are printed
in this issue of the Express.
| suggest that you cut out the slip
that fits your grade, collect all your
books of last year and make the ex-
change at your early convenience. The
dealers will be supplied with grade
and price slips so that any pupils
knowing their grades can go to the
dealers and secure correct instruction
for the purchase.
II you will think about eighteen hun
dred children trying to get their books
on the same day and all about the
same time you can guess how much
easier it will be to get your books be-
fore the rush.
Price lists OF the high school books
will be found with the dealers. The
superintendent and the principal of the
high school will be at the high school
building next Tuesday, Wednesday and
Thursday to classify any new pupils
for the grades and all high school pu-
pills who will come for enrolment. We
would be glad to enroll every pupil
at that time who win be in the high
school this year.
All who will attend to this matter
can get their classification and have
all books ready to start off the first
day as the schedule of recitations has
already been made out and will be
adhered to.

All Ready for Labor
Day Celebration

Plans for the big Labor Day cele-
bration to be held at Shanoan Springs
next Monday have been under way for
some time. They are now complete
and according to the program announc
ed there will be something stirring in
the way of amusements on that day
Every detail has been worked out and
all preparations are complete.
From 9:30 in the morning until late
at night the gay, giddy whirl of the
pleasure seekers will hold full sway.
However, one must not get the idea
that there will be nothing but what
might be termed light amusement. Far
be it from suchl While liberal
quantity Of fun will be spilled promis-
cuously about, there will be the big
guns of oratory to boom ever and anon
during the afternoon while literally
be sprinkled through the festivities
from early morn till late at night will
be music by the Chickasha band
One of the big features not staged
with every celebration in the land, will
be the swimming races pulled in the
Shanoan natatorium. Prizes are Of
fered for the winners in the girls and
boys classes. Judging from the ardent
manner in which the youngsters, as
well as grown-ups have taken to the
popular pool, these contests will be of
more than ordinary interest. Then
there will be the usual potato, sack
and threelegged races, together with
the usual other contests that go to
make an affair of the kind big sue
cess

Two Games Scheduled
Both Teams Strong

Eotchers in Oklahoma Amateur
Ball - Contest Promises
Pitchers Duel

1t is fitting that the two teams that
furnished the best exhibitions of the
season at University park should also
close the season. II is also fitting that
the two pitchers. famed above all
Others in amateur ball In this section,
should be the opposing mound artists.
The big circus scheduled for Sunday
and Monday at the ball park will be
fought out between Chickasha and
Minco and the opposing twirlers will
be Lofty" Masters for the home
guard and Fred Haag for the visitors.
These hurlers are recognized as the
best in the business round about, and
no real baseball fan in western Okla
homa needs an introduction to either.
They have appeared in practically
every ball lot in central and western
Oklahoma and always deliver a classy
brand Of stuff. Whenever a manager
of an amateur or semi-pro team is hard
pressed to win game, he calls either
Masters or Haag to the rescue and the
records show they generally pull it
across. What then, will happen when
THESE Two premiersgs twirlers meet?
That's what will be demonstrated Sun
day at the park.
1t will be Christy Mathewson against
Eddie Plank and that's about all there
is to it. Both are capable of going
extra innings If necessary and of put
ting down the screws in the pinches
Haag showed that he could do this
several times this summer against
Chickasha, but the last two times he
has faced the local brigade, they have
touched him up freely and, it seems,
that the home guard are beginning to
solve his delivery.
On the other hand, Masters has
pitched a number of games for Minco
this summer and should be fairly well
acquainted with the batters and know
their weak points II not, he is cap
able of serving up something "unhit-
table" The dope swings over toward
the Brashear clan. but no one who
knows will even venture to suggest
that the Bond followers from Minco
are not there with the goods. When
ever a team takes the measure of the
Minco slugging crew, they so home
and talk about it for weeks.
At that Chickasha has had some
thing to talk about at least twice this
summer, the last time the Minco co
horts were humbled on their home
, lot. There is no way sidestepping the
fact that the series Sunday and Mon
day will in all probability be the class
lest ball games ever staged in Chicka-
sha.
