sic class of st. Johns school last

SALES DAY
CROWD IS
LARGE One


The crowds on the streets Of
Chickasha today are the good, old
fashioned First Monday crowds.
Coming early, the streets of the
business sections of the city were
congested with a good natured, jost-
ling crowd by nine o'clock this
morning.
The monthly sales on Choctaw
avenue were in full swing by 10
o'clock. Two sales were in pro
gress, one in front of the new
Doughty-McDonald building at the
corner of Fifth street and Choc-
taw. avenue and the other near the
corner of First street and Choctaw
avenue.
At these sales practically every
thing in the lien of farm imple-
ments, live stock and household
goods was offreed. Mules and
horses, cows and calves, walking
pplows and riding plows. stalk cut
ters and harrows, sewing macrines
and wash tubs, beds and bed
springs, cooking stoves and heaters
lin fact a little of everything
which one person might not want
and another might was Offered un-
der the auctioneer's hammer.
The crowds did not linger about
the scene of the sale alone; neither
were they content to wander about
the streets, but went in and out
the stores keeping the clerks busy
and the store owners smiling.

CUTS
The PRICE
OF FIDDLE

Love Of sweet sounds possibly lead
Herman Simpson to frame story a
few short evenings since which re-
suited to his becoming the temporary
owner of an instrument known as a
fiddle, as long as the initial cost does
not exceed five dollars, but violin
when the price reaches a higher scale.
But love of good things to eat also
possibly lead the young gentleman to
dispose of the fiddle-violin for $3.50 in
order that he might salve the creases
of his interior grillings with beans and
spuds and sole leather roast.
nd then, as told in the Express of
recent issue, hold, bad policeman
gathered Simpson into his arms and
landed him in the city holdover from
whence he was transferred to the
county Jail wherein he languished, un-
soothed by music, u-riI today when
Allan X. Swan, assistant county attor-
ney, filed charges against him and
hailed him before the bar of justice.
Judge Moore presided at that bar
and decided whether or not the de-
Iendant should be held for the district
court or be permitted to plead to petty
larceny by fraud and take a Jail SEN
tence. The man from whom the
had been fraudulently ac-
quired claimed that the music ma
chine was worth forty-five dollars.
The dealer from whom it had origin
ally been purchased told the prose
cutting attorney, so statement was
made at the county law exchange this
that he had sold the instru-
ment for twenty dollars. Then Judge
Moore took hand. Did he want to
examine any witnesses as to the real
value of the machine? He did not. A
Ford might be worth as much as forty
five dollars to man who really
needed it, but fiddle, neverl No
fiddle, this court opined, was ever
made that was worth to anyone TWEEN
one dollars, let alone forty-five dol
lars. So, spake the judge, Young
man, I'll find you guilty of unlawfully
obtaining possession of and disposing
of one fiddle and will fix your punish
ment at thirty days in Jail and a fine
of fifty dollars"

PLANNING
TO ASSIST

Southern Bankers Meet in New Or
leans; ''Sell 1t Gradually"
Slogan Proposed for Cot
ton Growers
BY United Press.

By United Press.
New Orleans, La. Dec. 6.-Mem-
bers of the Cotton States Bankers
association met here today to for
mulate plans for aiding cotton
growers to dispose of the 1915 crop
in the most pprofitable way.
All suggestions centered about
the slogan, "Sell 1t Gradually"
originally proposed by Joe Hirsch,
Of Corpus Christi, president of the
Texas Bankers association.
THE production of sufficient
feed crops in 1915 resulted in the
southern farmer raising his cotton
at the lowest cost in years." said
Hipsch today. UNLESS vigorous
and continued Efforts are made by
southern bankers and business men
II Is feared the farmers will revert
no the all-cotton crop next year
tempted by the high prices this
year"
Last year the south produced
nearly 17.0OO,O06 bales, the great
est crop in its history. Conserva-
tive business men all over the coun-
try believed that as a result of the
enormous crop and the European
war these would be an excess of
100000 to 100000 bales. Yet
we find the world has consumed
the geratest amount of cotton ever
used in a similar period.
with a short crop this year, va
riously estimated at from 10000
600 to 2.50O.OOO bales, indications
point to a reduction of the visible
supply to a minimum. Let the
farmer market his cotton gradually.
Don't sell in three months what the
world used in twelve. If you need
money to follow this advice the
bankers will aid yiu. Don't dump
the cotton on the market. Sell it
as the spinners need it,
