parish, as they had no idea of their
numerical strength. Moreover from
friendly criticism in town, the steady

night from well known mining man
OF the Elk district who is conversant

good products from the Elk and Orc

BALE
OF COTTON
RECEIVED

w. 4, Carpenter Of Tabler set the
first bale record yesterday evening
for the cotton season of 1914 in the
Chickasha district when he arrived in
the city with load OF the fleecy
staple
The cotton is from a field df So
acres, and cotton men have estimated
the yield now in evidence at half
bale per acre. 1t is of the Mebane
variety. Mr. Carpenter states that he
picked over about one third Of his field
to get the load, leaving about two bales
now open in the field Merchants and
cotton men are today working ON a
p4ize for the first bale for this year.
The Moore gin is in readiness to ham
die almost any amount of cotton. hut
the bale will not be ginned until Mon
day.
In preparation Snr the heavy run ex-
peeted this year, the Moore gin he's
for the past several weeks been under
going thorough repairs. The plant now
stands completely oyerhauled and in
better shape than ever before to han
die the receipts. Though no new gin
stands have been added, we are IN a
position for a heavy run this year,
said L. l., Kennedy, manager, today.
New equipment has been added that
viii make it possible to get the best
possible service out of the stands. The
plant will turn out as good samples
as it is possible for gin machinery to
produce. We are in position to han
die 90 or 60 bales per day if we can
get that much. The crew that will op-
crate the gin are all men having had
years of experience" The Moore gin
will be thA only plant operating in
Chickasha this season. The Farmers
gin was destroyed by fire shortly after
the close of last season and was never
rebuilt
The first bale of 1918 came several
days ahead of this years record, cot
ton men giving as reason that the
hot weather of last year opened the
cotton prematurely.

Mr.. Hickam arrived here on the

number of his adherents called upon
him. He was scheduled to speak on
the street at o'clock this afternoon,
firing the opening gun in a Progress

primary, Mr.. Hickam, who was unop-
posed in his own party, travelled over
the state extensively for the purpose

Mr.. Hickam stated in an interview
that he would devote the major por-
tion of his speech to state issues, deal
ing particularly with the Progressive
plans for reducing taxes. He said he
would touch national issues lightly,
referring possibly only to the trust
question and his partys methods cf
dealing with it.
"In the course of my speech | shall
likely criticise all other political par
ties, but | expect to take the hide of

it was then John Fields was nom
