Merchants Signing Petition to Coun'
Gil for Repeal Of Ordinance
Requiring Circus to
Pay Tax Of SITS

Chickasha may yet be hostess for
the Ringing Bros big circus if the
city council at its meeting tomorrow
night acts favorably on a petition
signed this morning by fifty city mer
chants. The petition asks that the
council repeal the ordinance which
requires all circuses to pay license
tax of s175 for each day they show in
Chickasha. The petition was circu-
lated by Arthur Ersland, secretary of
the retailers association. He de..lar-
ed he would have the names of more
than a hundred merchants and citi-
zens to the petition before night.
The action follows visit of an ad-
vance agent of the circus to Chicka-
sha several days ago He declared
that the license demanded here was
out of all proportion to the size Of the
town. that his circus could not afford
to pay the sum and moreover, that
AdtAtSl tidh oct tiiS plCSCuCAL VI pay :
ing such sum in towns of 10000 pop
ulation, the circus would pass up the
, place. as Barnum & Bailey are said
to have done last year.
There is not bit of doubt in the
world" said VIM. Reinheilaer, presi-
dent of the Grady County Retail Mer-
chants association, that the ordin-
ance should be repealed. 1t is not a
question of the s175 that is paid into
the treasury Maybe that is more
than the show can afford to pay. May
be it is not That makes little differ
ence. The facts are that the sum is
three times what other towns demand
and that the circus will not stop here
if it must pay Chickasha that amount.
"A hundred and seyenty-five dol
lars, more or less, in the city treasury
is not sum big enough to be of CON
siderable importance, but whether OF

Corn and other growing crops are

Cutting of alfalfa was delayed by
the rains but more is being moved to-
day, ready to get to the barns or the
markets the last of the week. The
third cutting is already being started
in many fields Though large num-
bers have been shipping to northern
and eastern markets Grady county
farmers are now reported to be hold

ceedingly low prices prevailing fol-
loving the immense hay crop through
out the country. J. II. Freeman &
Son, dealers in hay, reported this
morning that the price had now gone
down to Sc ton. and that as con-
sequence many heavy growers were
putting up sheds or were preparing to
stack the crop and hold i either for
higher price or for the feeding o.
live stock this winter.

Recreation Manager
for Boys Employed
BY United Press.

Madison, Wis. July Wisconsin
has come to bat with another idea.
This time it is solution of the leisure
time problem along somewhat differ
ent lines than those followed else
where. 1t is the belief in several Wis
consin cities that systematic employ
ment of leisure time by boys and
girls, young men and young women,
does not come through erection OF
buildings and purchase of equipment.
II is rather through leadership than
otherwise
Acting on this theory Neenah,
Stoughton, Edgerton and several other
places have employed community sec
retaries or athletic managers, such
as are employed in Kenosha, Superior
Milwaukee and other larger cities
Paul H. Coon, formerly Of Chicago
and Genevieve Demming, both OF the
University of Wisconsin gymnasium
have been engaged to organize and
systematic recreation and games o
all sorts and for all ages in Neenah
In Stoughton nearly $50 young mel
and boys have agreed to pay 81 eacl

ate a similar amount for salary for |

man, ex-college football, baseball an'
wrestling star has been offered th'

ganized also to employ recreation
