President Determined to
Push Conscrjptjo1 Bill IN
Spite Of All Opposition

BY United Press.
Washington, April Undetermined
to rush the selective conscription bill
through congress with all possible
speed, President Wilson went to the
capitol today to confer with Senator
Chamberlain and other leaders.
The president told Chamberlain that
the bill must go through at once
without change in the form suggested
by the army war college, "for the wei
fare of the nation"
The administration has decided to
center its efforts in behalf of the bill
in the senate and the leaders believe
they will be able to get the measure
through soon. The moral effect of this
action on the house is expected to be
strong, making it possible to push il
through that bodys
The committees are finishing their
work on the bill today. House lead.
ers still want to try the volunteer plan
first and then conscription.

TWO CASES OCCUPY
COURT ENTIRE WEEK

1t is probable that only two of the
civil cases which were ealendared for
hearing this week in the adjourned ses-
sion the January term of the district
court will come to trial now, the 9th
ers to be passed over till the regular
June term.
The suits in question are both OF 10.
cal interest. The first one, Riddle VS..
First National bank, in which Judge
r. Il. Riddle sues the bank for s15,-
GAL for back rents and damages alleg-
ed to have accrued from alterations
in the building, came to trial on Mon
day and yesterday was consumed in
the taking of testimony. This morning
the jury was charged by Judge Linn
and the arrangements were heard.
Immediately succeeding this trial is
the hearing Of the suit of Gilbert VS..
Citizens National bank, in which S17,-
600 is involved. This will require the
nalahce Oh the week for its compile
tion, it is estimated, and will leave no
room for other business.
In order not TO disturb the docket
which was set for next week Judge
Linn decided to pass over till the reg.
ular term all other business which was
to have been transacted this week.

BIG FREE FAIR PLANS

People are beginning to sit up and
take notice of the Grady county con

Ferguson, who said yesterday:
"The president and secretary Of the

counties throughout the state than it
has ever been"

COUNTY JAIL
MADE SECURE

Reports Of future jailbreaks from
Grady county will be fewer in the fq-
trre than they have been in the past.
The five windows on the first floor
Of the county jail are being made
more secure by the Introduction Of
heavy iron frames containing bars
which will make cutting and breaking
more difficult. A Jail specialist was
brought to Chickasha to investigate
the matter but the bars could not be
obtained at an earlier date.
There is not an inmate of the coun-
ty Jail at present who would try to es-
cape, in the opinion of county officers
which accounts for no more attempted
Jail breaks Of late.

A RAIN THAT HELPED

Grady county is basking in the de-
lights of a pleasant quiet day after. a
six-tenths inch rainfall which was
needed for corn which had been plant
ed but which had not come up.
"The rain will help wonderfully" de-
clared County Agent Cooper today
"and will put the ground in good shape
for corn. wheat and oats. The soil is
now in good condition to plant"
Grady county has not suffered the
heavy crop losses which have been re-
ported from other parts Of Southwest
Oklahoma.
Reports from Amber received today
are to the effect that heavier rain
fell in that section than was felt here
and that it came in time to do great
good as the country was extremely
dry. having been missed in the last big

OF FOOD CONSERVATION

That about fifteen percent Of the

agents late yesterday afternoon after
the regular business Of the bankers

been brought TO a close. That seeds
Of various kinds were available at va
rious points in Southwest Oklahoma
and could be distributed without great
effort or expense under the initiative
of the bankers in the various sections

prime necessity Of the moment was
proclaimed to be the bringing Of the
people to a realization of the alarming
condition which threatens them and
which is likely to leave their families
without the necessary supplies on ac-
count Of heavy drains to be made up
on farm products and supplies in gen
eral as result Of provisioning the al
lies and the recent drouth and conse-
quent shortage Of natural food sup

The suggestion was made during the
progress OF the convention that all
county agents work through the coun-
ty school superintendents in bringing
the school trustees together at conyen-
lent points in each county for the pur-
pose of educating them as to the
threatening state of affairs, and, in
view of the prediction that was freely !

county agent and said II was up to the
home people to act with him.
He urged the organization of free
fairs throughout Oklahoma and ex.
planned that the tangle created by the
new bill dying without the governors
signature would put the decision UP
to the attorney general but that this
would not affect Grady and other
counties which had already acted.
He urged the organization Of the
work with the banks which has already
been done in Grady county and urged
the county agents to cooperate with
bankers and vice versa, as word
from a becker could ofteh help the
county agent materially.
Imperative need of action with re.
spect to securing and planting seed
for extra acreage was impressed upon
the meeting Grady county was well
supplied with all kinds of seed and
could ship some out to other commu
mites less favored.
He also spoke Of the duty Of Amer
leans in this time Of great stress to
do all that was possible for the ma
tional good. This extended to the la.
dies. Mothers could be Of great SER
vice in curtailing consumption Of food |
by adopting economic methods In the

children the necessity Of saving their
clothes and shoes regardless Of the
financial ability OF the parents to fur.
nish these articles.
Other Speakers. !
Mr., Williams explained what con
fronted the nation in the way OF
food shortage
Raise Feed Stuffs.
Mr. Fields delivered one OF the
strongest appeals Of the day and EN-
the futility Of trying to raise
corn on land not adapted to its growth
as was done III the majority Of cases
in Oklahoma. This same land, he
said, would yield abundantly and prof.
itably such crops as kafir, feterita,
maize and cane which would be in
great demand this year. In 1911. with |
the rainfall the same as in 1917, corn
was a total failure. The subsoil was
too dry for a crop. The average corn
Yield that year was $2.55 to the acre
while the proceeds Of kafir were
s11.4O per acre.
He attributed the great decrease in
he livestock supply in Oklahoma to
he scarcity Of feed Cattle has de-
,reased 100000 head since the last re.
port While there are 100000 fewer
logs in the state. Don't guess at IT,"
ie said. "Plant sure crops. Figure
IN sure things and stay with them.
The speaker also warned against
planting navy beans but suggested
squash, Irish potatoes and
'owpeas for the garden.
George A. Wilson took issue with

billion dollars behind in the produc-
ion Of food crops and declared it to ,
