SP. SESSION
IS FAVORED

Bert Jackson, principal of the Union
Hill school, was in Chickasha Satur-
day afternoon ON business with the
county superintendent. Mr.. Jackson
has organized a moonlight school and
states that it is proving great sue
cess. He states that everyone in his
section seems to be taking the deepest
interest in this educational venture,
and that he feels the ultimate good ac-
complished by such schools will be
almost beyond comprehension.
Mr.. Jackson is one Of the members
of the state legislature and says he
favors a called session Of the legis-
iature by the governor At the pres
ent time, Mr.. Jackson says, there are
many matters of Importance to the
people of the state that the Legislators
should get together upon; that there
are many matters of legislation needed
that may be attended to by called
session which would naturally not re-
ceive the proper consideration at a
regular session of the legislative
bodies.

Be LAST RESORT

Of Winning Contention if
Case Goes to Court

By United Press.

made in its latest note protesting
against the British interference with
American maritime trade.
Action instead of words is expected
as the proper reply to the American
note, it is officially stated.

reply can be expected because of the
length OF the note and the numerous
technical legal points that have been
raised.
Arbitration is to be the last resort
of the United States in obtaining a
satisfactory settlement of the points
at issue, officials indicated If dead
lock develops, as seems possible, 1t
can be authoritatively stated thatshe
United States will consent to arbitra-
ton, confident of the strength of the
American case.
Criticism is expected from southern
congressman and, cotton interests for
failure to protest specifically against
the contraband order and the seizure
Of cotton cargoes.
1t is officially announced, however,
that separate note will be prepared
and sent to England, dealing with the
contraband question. Information on
which this note will be based is still
being gathered by the department and
the note win be formulated as soon
