BUSINESS
IMPROVING
Many CHckasha People Take Advantage Of
Saving Method; Postmaster to Appoint
Agencies TO Handle Stamps Here

sCol. G. w Barefoot, Chickasha
postmaster, has his troubles. At this
particular time, the fact that Christ
mas is coming with its rush of mail
matter is one OF them. This would
! not be so bad, were it not for the
fact that the sale OF government war
savings stamps is picking up as the
people become acquainted with the
method of purchase and the purpose.
Il don't see what we are going to
do said Col Barefoot this morning
with Christmas coming on, and the
mail already getting extremely
heavy, don't know who around the
office viii have time to sell any war
savings stamps, or if they devote
their time to that who will handle
the mail At the present time, the
post office is the Only place in Chick
asha where the stamps can be pur-
chased Lam going to appoint some
agencies in the city probably among
the banks, We had good business
on the stamps and thrift cards yes
terday. One woman came in with
something over $13 that her children
had saved and put it all in the saw
ings certificates and stamps. In ad-
dition to the agencies that | will ap
point. the rural and city carriers are
going to handle the stamps
In this campaign two classes Of
little baby bonds are issued. The
thrift stamp costs twenty-five cents
and with the first one goes q thrift
card containing sixteen spaces. That
costs $4 when filled out. Ono adds
12 cents in December or next Janu-
airy and for s4.12. one gets IS war
savings stamp. With the first Of
these stamps you get war saving
certificate which holds twenty stamps
and in five years from January J.,
1918, one. can cash this in for 800.
1t costs only $8240 il one bought the
war savings stamps at SAP. This
brings interest at the rate Of per
cent year, compounded quarterly.
In February these stamps will cost
s41S, and they will increase in cost
one cent a month through 1918,
One should keep war savings GER
tificates for five years to do Uncle
Sam the most good. But if one must
cash them sooner, one will be paid !
interest at the rate Of about per
cent a year on what he bought If
one does not buy twenty S. stamps
BY January /, 1919, he will receive
the same interest on those which he
does buy. No one can buy more than
500 worth at one time.

CLEAN UP
CITY FOR
CHRISTMAS
Street Department on the Job; Asks thai
All Trash Be Piled in Alleys; No
Extra Expense

II the plans Of the street depart
ment are carried out, Chiekasha will
soon be looking like a queens gar
den. With the approach Of cold
weather the work OF the street de-
partment is somewhat hampered, so
far as the actual street work Is con
cerned and so they are going to make
a general cleaning up Of the entire
city
Everyone in the residence section
OF the city has been requested by
the department 10 rake all the waste
matter off their yards and pile it up
in the alley so that wagons which
will be sent around over the city can
pick the debris up and carry It off.
The purpose OF the department Is to
have this work all done before Christ.
mas day SO that when guests visit
here from other places, this city can
be pointed to with no little pride as
the cleanest city in the state,
Not only is this done in order toI
merely have the city clean, but this
will IN no small manner help to keep
the city in a healthy condition. This
will cost nothing extra but in order
for each one to have trash taken
from their property they win have
to rake the stuff together and have
it in piles SO that whaa the wagon
comes around the teamsters will
have nothing to do but load the
waste in and carry 1t away. The
last time that this was done some
people did not understand and failed
to have the trash collected in a pile.
This win be done again unless this
precaution is taken.
On most every lot in town there
are dead weeds and grass that have
grown up along the fences and in the
corners that should be cut now and
carried away both for the sake Of
cleanliness and to lessen the danger
of fire. If this is done now these
places will look much better next
spring when the grass begins to
grow
The wagons have already been
started at the north side Of town and
will work their way to the south lin
it's of the city. 1t is hoped that ev-
erybody will have the trash from
their property collected SO that when
the wagon comes it may be hauled
away
Those in charge Of the work say
that one Of the peculiarities Of the
work is that in that section Of the
city where most of the laboring peo-
ple work the trash is always ready
while in other sections they are rath-
sr negligent. Therefore it is espe-
,iany urged that everybody see that
the trash is collected SO thai the city
may be made as clean as possible.

NINNEKAH
CITIZENS
INDIGNANT
Strong EeeliHg Shown After Inquest Over
Body Of Little Girl; Theory that She
Fell From Train Exploded

Since the coroners inquest that
was held yesterday evening relative
to the death Of Lois Englebretson at
which time the jury fosnd that she
had come to her death as a result of
freezing, indignation has been mani
Tested by the people of Ninnekah and
feeling is running rather high, it was
learned through the county attorneys
office.
/ In the inquest yesterday afternoon id
developed that the little girl had
been staying with Mr. and Mrs.
Schultz and attending school at MIN
nekah. In her testimony Mrs
Schultz admitted that she whipped
the child just a short time before
she left. She also said that she
thought she was justified in inflict-
ing the corporal punishment as the
Child had told her a STORY"
When the child's father Hans En-
glebretson. testified, he admitted that
he had been called over the phone
yesterday morning and told that the
child had been missing all night He
said at first he thought he would
get car and go to Ninnekah and
see about the matter, but that he
was rather busy and decided to wait
until the 2 o'clock train. The next
thing that he heard Of his child, he
said. was that she had been frozen
70 death and was chen lying in the
morgue
The theory that she might have
fallen from the train was exploded
when Mr.. Schultz testified that he
went down to the train to see if she
got on at Ninnekah and found that
she did not
It was further developed at the in
quest that only very short search
was made for the child on the night
she ran away. The last that was
seen Of the child by Mr., and Mrs.
Schultz, with whom she was staying,
was about 5.30 in the afternoon, the
testimony stated She came home
from school about O'Clock and ate
lunch after which Mrs. Schultz ques-
toned her about her report card and |
then whipped her because she told !
me a story" Mrs. Schultz said. Soon |
after this, the testimony showed, the !
child said that she was going to the |
church to practice for program that
would be given Christmas night At
ter she left the Schultz home she
was not reported to have been seen
again until picked up beside the rail-
road track frozen and dead.
Several Ninnekah citizens came up
yesterday afternoon for the inquest
and they showed a great interest in
he matter, an interest that amounted !
to Indignation. NO word had been re-
ceived early this morning from Min
nekah but the county attorney said
that he was anxious to know wheth-
er any action had been taken there
last night
The funeral services OF Lois En-
glebretson we're to be held at
o'clock this afternoon after which
she will be laid to rest in the Rose
Hill cemetery.

The past three months have witness

agreeable weather that has ever been
experienced by the present generation
during any previous spring season.
The planting and cultivation Of the
agricultural crops in this vicinity have
been considerably retarded on account
OF unfavorable weather conditions and
mole than one farmer has been obliged
TO drill his corn a second and some
even third time in order to Sc
cure an adequate stand. Almost all
the corn which was planted in this
neighborhood during The month Of
April has thriven very poorly as re.
suit Of the excessive GOODNESS and bad
condition Of the ground. Notwith-
standing all these facts. however. We
sincerely hope and believe that a real
nice crop Of corn will he raised Outing
tie present year and the sorghum crop
also gives promise % being unusually
large.
