for free raw materials was this: The
manufacturer would get his material
cheaper. no duty to pay, would reduce

ANOTHER SHOW
FOR BAND BOYS

Under the auspices of the Chickasha
Band, the Hodginnis' shows will ap-
pear in Chickasha Thursday, Friday
and Saturday, November 4, and 6.
On account of the inclement weather
conditions the receipts from the recent
street carnival given in the interests
of the band boys were not nearly as
productive of results as had been
hoped. In order that the remainder
of the needed funds for buying their
uniforms may be raised, the band man
agement has secured this show which
is said to be most meritorious one
The place where the show will Do
staged has not yet been chosen, but
it will be on some vacant lot near the
car lines and accessible to all.

The dawn of musical America is
just at its rosiest glow, and we may
now pause moment in passing, to
contemplate the stages by which she
has risen in the musical firmament.
New York, Boston, Philadelphia and
Chicago are the four greatest music
centers of the United States. With
their permanent grand opera compa-
nies, symphony orchestras, oratorio
societies, famous bands and sacred
concerts, one may have feast of the
best music at any time in number OF

department today submitted a report
to Secretary Lansing stating that the
Allan liner Hesperian was sunk by
torpedo. not by mine, as Germany
contended
Lansing indicated that the report
would not reopen the submarine ques-
ton with Germany except as to the
amount of indemnity for the loss Of
the Hesperian. A large amount OF
American merchandise was aboard
the vessel and for this damages will
be asked. No lives we're lost.
The finding Of the navy experts was
based on a piece of metal that was
thrown on the ships deck by the ex-
plosion. 1t was established conclu-
sively that this was piece of a tor

Of the same, superintendent Shepard
introduced State Superintendent Will
son, who addressed the board mem
bers present upon the Importance of
education to all and upon the impor-
tance of their own positions In the edu-
catlonal advancement of the commun-
tiles in which they lived.
The assembled school board mem
bers were told, by the speaker that
they occupied positions of trust Of far
greater Importance to the community
at large than did possibly any other
public official in the county. 1t was
up to them, the speaker said to en-
ploy the best Of talent to teach the
children and prepare them for the
battle of life, and that it was their
duty to see that peace and harmony
was maintained in all districts. Mr..

that it was their duty as such mem
bers to exert their every effort in
well directed endeavor to bring the
teacher and the pupil and the school
patron together in a greater harmony
"a greater uniformity of action.

down TO the business of putting the
good things to eat on the blink inter
esting talks were delivered by Messrs.
Tom Dwyer, o. c. Cooper, NJ. H. Shep-
ard and others.
Mr. Dwyer's speech was probably
the forensic feature of the occasion.
Eliminating the fact that he mistook
the school directors present for the
school teachers, not present, and won
dered in his speech at the dearth OF
calico present this speech was one of
marked success. Mr.. Dryers remarks
were received with enthusiasm by his
audience.
In addition to the speakers above
mentioned who spoke entertainingly
during the banquet hour. Messrs. L.
Hollingsworth of Amber, President
Austin of the o. c. W., and H. NJ. Null
