TWENTY TONS OF
MAIL HANDLED BY
LOCAL OFFICE

Assistant Postmaster Mckenzie has
Just completed his report to the post
office department of the weight of the
mail dispatched from this office for
the six days from November IL to No
vember 16, both dates conclusive, over
the Frisco and the Rock Island rail
ways. This report shows that during
that period a total of 32,56S pounds of
all classes of mail went out of the
Chickasha postoffice over the two
aboye-named roads, or an average of
5,42S pounds each day.
No weights were taken of the trans
fer mail which passed through this
office after having been handled over
the Oklahoma Central branch of the
Santa Fe, but, Mr.. Mckenzie states, a
conservative estimate would place the
figures at approximately 1900 pounds
daily. These figures would bring the
weight of all classes of mail handled
from and through the Chickasha post
office at well over twenty tons.

submarine bases along the United

Tense program features to be sub
mitted by Navy Secretary Daniels to

rest up after trips" said Mr.. Daniels.
Quiet quarters should be provided
where the men may recuperate while
the vessels are resupplied and re-
paired"
The new submarine MI, just
launched. is the first so-called United
States fleet submarine. Her sister
ship is the Schley. These vessels are
expected to accompany the battle fleet
on cruises Of any length, The new
naval program calls for fifteen Of the

build a large number of smaller coast
defense submarines. Several Of these
small subs, however, have recently run
the two thousand miles between San

lalio Gutierrez provisional president.
The villissa armies captured Mexico

This was the strongest point in
Villas efforts From this moment his
power waned. Carranza and 0bregon
retreated to Vera Cruz. Villa and Ia
