Grady County Commissioners We're Ready

Structure But Did Not
STATE LAW PREVENTS
ADOPTION OF PLAN
Counties, Cities and townships May Join
Public Service Corporation Only
in Building Bridges

Just as the county commissioners
were preparing to arrange for an appro-
priation of $4,000 toward the construc.
tion of the proposed bridge at Newcas-
tie, which, it is believed, will cinch the
Ozark Trail location for Chickasha, a
copy of the Daily Oklahoman of Sun
day mornings issue was brought in
which threw cold water on the propo.
sition under the present state Of af-
fairs The dampening information
was contained in a report of meet
ing which was held by Colonel w. H.
Harvey, the promoter of the Ozark
Trails with the commissioners Of Ok
lahoma county, and showed that under
the law Grady county could not put UP
this money except in conjunction with
a public service corporation which may
undertake to build the bridge. The
following statement was submitted to
the commissioners:
"a law passed by the sixth legisla-
ture provides that counties, cities and
townships may join with public service
in building bridges. That
law, as explained by Judge Burford,
means that oklahoma City, Me Claim
county and townships along the high
way from the southwest to Oklahoma
City may take part in the building Of
the Newcastle bridge if a public SER
vice corporation is interested. Two
plans were suggested: One for the
building Of the bridge in cooperation
with a railroad; the other for the for
nation of toll bridge company by
or stock sales and coop
eratiye appropriations by counties and
townships
"This knocked us right off our
perch declared Chairman J. A. Tenn
pie of the county boar dtoday "We
we're ready to help build the bridge and
10 put up the money am in fave ofI
the Newcastle bridge. We shall have
to have a bridge on that river sooner
Or later. 1t ought to be built now

ers of this structure, however, will re-
seive our careful consideration.

CONGRESS TO GIVE WILSON
EVERYTHING HE NEEDS TO
WHIP GERMANS in WAR
WORDS MEANINGS
EXPANDED BY STUDY
Simplest Phrase often Contains Great
Beauties Of Sentiment.

We sometimes speak Of a kind
person, things Of the same kind, and
again of mankind" but do we ever
reflect that the three words come
from the same root? That wonderful
genius, Shakespeare. meant more than
mere play on words, when he put in
to Hamlets mouth--who was alluding
to his fathey's brother-"A little more
than kin, and less than kind"
A "kind" person is one who treats
other people as his kindred, and by his
words or actions confesses his kinship.
Things of the same kind are OF the
same family. Mankind includes the
whole human race. The meaning that
gradually unfolds itself as flower
develops, leaf by leaf, is therefore sig
nificant and beautiful. Words we use
today meant other things centuries
ago. But there is always reason for
it. Language Is not a mere haphazard
growth, but logical development in
terwoven with the historic develop
ment and growth Of people.

sion to patriotism that has apparently
lain dormant in the past few weeks
and new flags sprang into view from
a number of business houses and pri-

The matter was brought up before
the county commissioners yesterday
afternoon but the officers deemed it
proper not to put the county to the
expense of flying the national colors
from the building and contributions
amounting to $l2 were spontaneously
offered for the purchase of beautiful
flag and staff to fly the Stars and
Stripes throughout the war At the
same time county officers nailed
flags to their doors giving the
place a martial air
