The Richmond automobile show has
been widely advertised. automobile

NAVY HAS
FULLQUOTA
TRAINING

Word was received today at the
local naval recruiting station that all
the naval training canfps throughout
the country are now full aud all who
enlist in the navy within the next
few days will have to await further
orders before they can be sent di-
rectly to the various training sta
tions.
The order containing the above In
formation states, however, that if
any one enlists that has no employ
ment whereby he can earn liveli-
hood between the time In which he
enlists and the time in which he is
ordered to report the government will
pay for their board and lodging dur
ing that time.
The order does not state just what
time new recruits will be called but
those in charge Of the work believe
that 1t will be at least six weeks be-
fore any new recruits will be order
ed to training stations.

No Guests" al City BasiiIe During Day;
Citizens Rest After Strenuous
Campaigns Of Week
COLD WEATHER DRIVES
PEOPLE TO FIRESIDES
Few Wanders Abroad; Business Slows
Down; No Booze" Charges Lodged
by County officials

To merely say that the. people of
chickasha passed quiet Christmas
without some qualifying adjective,
would not be giving an exact de-
scription Of the occasion that was
passed here yesterday. The day was
exceedingly quiet, as could be seen
from outward appearances. Wheth-
er 1t was due to the exceedingly cold
weather or to the people resting af-
ter the strenuous shopping days and
after the big Red Cross campaign
had been pushed eover the top" could
not be told but no doubt both causes
acted in cooperation for the placid
Quitude that prevailed
There were perhaps fewer men to
be seen who had imbibed too freely
Of the liquor that maketh for joy,
than ever before. When police head
quarters were visited this morning
It was thought that the city bastile
would be found taxed to its capacity
with men who were. recovering from
the blow they had received from old
John Barleycorn, but this was not
true. Not a single man spent this
Christmas or any part thereof within
the four dingy walls OF the city jail
j. P. Holiday was taken in late Mon
day afternoon but was allowed his
freedom yesterday morning after he
had paid the city $475 for his lodg
ing during the night. None other
that institution during
Christmas day
At the county jail conditions were
found to be similar and although
three men had been taken into Gus
tody 1t was only their misfortune to
be caught in the strong arm Of the
,aw at this particular time as they
we're taken up on charges that in no
way had their origin in an atteT.s,t
to gain "Christmas cheer"
All Of those whose names were
found on the roster at the county
jail we're, Will Carter and Mush VIII
son were caught Monday on gamb-
ling charge and they were later re-
leased under bond Fred Jackson
was brought in on a charge Of carry
ig large knife and was fined $25
and costs after WHICH he promised to
leave town.
Not only did these departments Of
the county and city government wit
ness a very quiet Christmas day but
in the county clerks office much to
the delight of Col. Wyatt, not sin
gle couple called to obtain the nee
essary license whereby they would
be- permitted to unite under the
bonds Of matrimony.
Few people were to be seen on the
streets and business at those estab-
Iishmeuts that stayed open for the
day could not be said to be rushing.
No fire works we're to be seen any
where and seldom did one hear the
boom Of cracker. Yes, it was
quiet Christmas indeed

bers. The minimum quota to be rails
ed by this county was placed at about
four thousand members and J. W.
Kayser estimated this morning that
something over five thousand mem

tai subscriptions would probably
amount to between $4,000 and $1,000.
Mrs. William Inman and her corps
of workers who held forth at Third

number Of subscribers Monday with
a total OF nearly three hundred.
Those working with Mrs. Inman were

it was sold to the highest bidder

berships from the three higher class
es. The classes contributing were
the Seniors, Juniors and the sopho-
mores.
Complete returns had not been re-
ceived from the entire county up to
noon today but indications we're that
all of the towns had oyer-subscribed
their quotas by a good margin. Alex
led in this mornings report with s244
to her credit. Incomplete returns
from Pocasset showed that 6S mem
bers had been secured at that pace,
and Dutton reported 60 members. a
report had not been receiv-
ed from Verden although Miss Katy
Sage, a teacher in the Verden
schools, reported II subscriptions se-
cured as result Of her personal
work.
Rush Springs. Minco, Amber and
Tuttle had made no report up to
noon today but it is understood that
they have made an exceedingly good
showing and will boost the total
amount several hundred dollars.
