THOSE AWFUL ROADS.

II a farmer had very stout team
and strong, we'll built wagon, he
might be able to haul a load of feath-
ers over some of the roads leading
into Chickasha However. not being
an authority on this method of trans
portation, we do not make the posi-
tive statement that this would be the
case. II is mere conjecture on oui
part, you must understand. As to haul
ing load of wheat or transporting
the entire family here for the Fourth
of July celebration, it is reasonably
certain that this would be out of the
question.
The recent heavy rains have rem
dered the roads problem more press
ing than il has been for a long time.
Within few miles of Chickasha in
several directions the roads, especial
ly in the hilly sections, are so furrowed
and cut up that il is only with extreme
difficulty that any kind of load can
be hauled over them. At this particu-
lar time, with large wheat crop al
most ready for the market, this condi-
ton is extremely unfortunate and un-
less 1t is promptly remedied the busi-
ness of Chickasha must suffer.
In many instances the expenditure
Of a few dollars would eliminate a bad
place in the road, increasing its ser
viceabiIity fifty per cent. If we would
realize the benefits of making Chick
asha a wheat market, we should set
to work at once. improving the worst
places at least, pending the undertak-
ing of more comprehensive plans of
highway betterment.

THE "eRANpFATHER" DECISION.

The grandpa clause" is dead and 1t
is scarcely necessary to hold an au-
topsy to determine the cause OF its de-
mise. The legal doctors composing the
supreme court found that II had fatal
weakness by reason of its conflict
with the organic law of the land and
their decision is final.
That the people of Oklahoma will
find some way to meet the conditions
growing out Of the supreme court de-
cision Is highly probable. In some sec
tions Of the state the menace OF INT
crate negro domination is serious. In
the meantime, there is no necessity
for any hasty. ill-considered action. In
this connection, the views of Mr.. Alger
Melton, chairman of the Democratic
state committee. are pertinent. Mr..
Melton comments on the decision as
follows:
"This decision will have no immedi-
atd effect upon conditions in Okla
homa. II will take some time for II,
legal and illiterate votes to colonize
and qualify under existing laws In suf-
ficient numbers to change or mater
tally effect present conditions.

Home Ownership
Act Becomes Law

Chickasha, Okla, June 10, 1915.
Mr. Editor:
Permit me through your columns to
convey message to our people in
whose b. half the recent session of our
Legislature passed what is known as
the home ownership bill, designed to
promote home ownership in Oklaho-
ma.
This measure goes into effect on
the 22d day of this month. There is
fund of over seven million dollars of
state money now available under this
act, for the following purposes:
First, to assist the borrower to pay
for a home.
Second, to pay off an existing mort
gage upon the home.
Third, to make permanent improve
ments upon the home farm
Loans under this act will be made
by the commissioners OF the land Of
flee of our state at their office, in Ok
lahoma City. under rules and regula-
tions to be made by said commission
ers not in conflict with the following
conditions embraced in the act, To-
wit:
Not to exceed two Thousand dollars
shall be loaned to any one individual
or family.
All loans shall be secured by first
mortgage on farm lands upon which
the borrower resides and holds as his
homestead, and the cash value of
which, disregarding all improvements.
is at least double the amount of the
loan.
Notes for the sum borrowed shall
| be drawn to run for twenty-three and
one half years Payment OF four per
cent of the full face value of each
note to be made semi-annually; at
each payment interest at the rate of
six per cent per annum upon the un-
paid balance OF such note to be oe-
Quoted from the amount paid and the
remainder to be credited upon ;le
principal of the loan.
Under this system at the expiration
of twenty three and one half years the
entire debt. principal and interest is
extinguished.
The citizen desiring to avail hinl-
self or herself of the use of this money
in buying farm or taking up a mort
gage on her or his farm home, should
write the commissioners of the lana
office at Oklahoma City direct
There will be no agents outside that
department handling this fund. and

A PLAIN STATEMENT BY PRESl-
DENT AUSTIN.

In letter addressed to the citizens
of Chickasha today. President Austin
makes a plain statement concerning
the college and the necessity for
funds with which to advertise it, This
letter is an appeal for cordial cooper
alton upon the part of the community
in furthering the progress OF the in
stitution. If it is needed. as it should
be, there is no doubt that the coming
term will see a vast increase in the
enrolment with corresponding bene-
fits to Chickasha. 1t is to be hoped
that every citizen will carefully read
Mr.. Austin's letter and cheerfully re.
spond to his requests. In part, the
letter is as follows:
mo state school has grown more In
the hearts of the people during the
last session than this, and the man
agement OF the institution enjoys the
unqualified confidence of the state
board of education and the patrons are
delighted with the progress of their
daughters and the personal care that
has been exercised in looking after
their interests.
Because of the prosperous condi-
ton of Oklahoma at this time, and
the rapid growth the institution has
enjoyed during the last session. there
is no question about our being able to
induce five hundred girls to attend
this school next year. The only ele-
ment that is necessary to bring this
about is locked up in one word-co-
operation.
"I am very anxious that we know
zach other better In order that our re-
lations may be more helpful. Do YOU
not know some young woman to whom
you would like to have a catalogue
sent2 II so, send me her name and
address
Il am sure you would like TO know
what this school means to Chickasha
in a business way and | take pleasure
in giving you the following statement
The state has spent during the last
twelve months S33,600 In addition TO
this, have written checks for more
than $4,000 to pay the expenses OF run
ming the Nellie Sparks hall. All of this
amount has ben spent in Chickasha
except $217. Add TO these two amounts
what the students spent while here,
and you will have a good idea what
this school means from commercial
standpoint.
"The state makes no provision for
advertising expenses of the institu
tion. asked for no assistance alons
this line last year but was given $l9S
which | might say did not cover the
outlay. Money spent in advertising
this school now would bring Chicka
sha greater returns than any invest
ment II could make. A committee VIII
likely call on you in few days and
sincerely hope you may see Il to your
interest to contribute literally to this
important fund.
Il very much covet your friendship
and solicit your cooperation in this
great work"
