WILL BURN
ALL COTTON
is REPORT
!. W. W. Plan Destruction Of Staple
Chickasha Learns, Liberty League Said
to Be Forming Here; Guards Doubled

The city officials and business
men were notified late yesterday eve
ming Of telegram said to have been
received at t.~ Santa Fe offices here
stating that it had been learned up
on good authority that a band Of /.
w WIS were planning to destroy all
cotton that could be found stored on
platforms and other convenient
places.
1t is reported that the band plans
to approach the city from the south
east unless some action is taken that
viii upset their plans. Adequate
precautions have been taken by all
cotton concerns here and a double
guard has been placed around all
places where cotton is stored.
Upon receipt Of the telegram the
business men of the city immediate
ly took action and this morning it
was reported that a Liberty League"
was being organized similar to the or
ganization that was recently organ
lied in Tulsa and which took such
drastic action against the l. w w.
organization there.
Police and guards about the vari-
Gus places where cotton is stored
rave been instructed to shoot to kill
if any suspicious character is found
loafing about
Despite the warnings little trouble
is anticipated and if anything is
started it will soon be nipped in the
bud and the culprits will be treated
to a bath Of tar and feathers the
same as was applied to the members
of the same organization at Tulsa,
according to the information obtain
able.
There are about 5000 bales Of cot
ton stored at the Chickasha com
rress which represents a total Of
more than a million dollars. Cotton
is used in the manufacture Of one Of
the highest explosives known to mod
ern warfare and if this amount Of
cotton could be destroyed it would
mean more than a mere financia.

NO RELIEF
In SUGAR
SITUATION
Only Few Retailers Supplied With Staple;
Car Expected This Week; Two Bits
is Limit 10 Each Purchaser

The sugar situation was never more
serious III the history Of Chiclasha
than 1t IS at the present time and ac-
cording to local iobbars there is hope
for but little relief for AZ least three
months. Cuban sugar Will NOT be on
the market before tbe first of Janua.
ry and until this is marketed there IS
little chance for a change IN the situ-
alton.
While the southern sugar crop IS
being marketed throughout Louisiana
and the other sugar states and the
ware houses are reported to be filled
there is a shortage of cars. The crop
can not be transported to the states
which are in most need OF the article
This delay will make the shortage in
the middle west SO great that the
manufacturers can not begin to sup
ply the demand
Some sugar is being shipped to this
state from Colorado and California,
but this is not enough to supply the
demand and only a few Of the stores
here have any sugar at all Those
who have sugar are selling only TWEEN
ty-five cents worth to any one custo-
mer and unless sugar is received here
in a few days there viii be none at
all
The firm Of Williamson -HalsellFra-
zier company expect a car Of sugar
to arrive within the next ten DAYS
but this will give but little relief as
under ordinary circumstances this
community consumes two car loads
a week Most Of tue people have but
a small quantity OF sugar on hand
This amount viii perhaps tide them
over for a short time but it is not
known when another shipment viii be
credited to this community By the
board Of control Of the food supply.
The fact that the shipment expect
cd to arrive this week is coming from
California is taken by some to mean
that there is some hope Of the situa
tion opening up. Since California has
been supplying the western states.
