Of the multitude
Public Responds Literally.
That was the spirit which was mani
tested at the mass meeting which was
called by the committee last night.
The people Of Chickasha had been
waiting to learn the details OF the loan
and the terms upon which the bonds
might be had in Chickasha. This data
was slow in reaching the public but
in they understand that the full
iamount in cash was not required they
subscribed freely and over $4,000 was
reported as the net proceeds for a few
hours work. And the canvass has just
begun.
chiekssha 100000 Behind.
Chickasha still lacked 100000 Of
getting out Of the Stacker column when
the books we're closed last night and
there is only until noon tomorrow to
make this good. The committees, who
win continue working all day expect
10 reduce that amount By half by to-
night or the $4,000 reported last
night about half, or se9.5O0. had been
put mp by the banks. The committees
believe that the individual subscrip-
tions should be three times as great
as the amount invested by the banks
and if this is done Cdckasha viii meet
her quota.
It's Not a Donation.
The people are just beginning to
understand that this is in no wise
donation to the government. It is good

to keep Prussian militarism out Of
