MEETING OF

Fessenden Explains Automatic Fire Alarm
System; Railroad Proposal is
Presented

At the bi-monthly meeting Of the
Lions club at the Geronimo hotel
during the noon hour Monday, Mr..
Feesenden, of the U. S. Automatic
Fire Alarm company, explained the
lystem which his company is endeav-
oring to install in Chickasha and ask
ed the cooperation Of those present
"Al that we ask is that you care
fully investigate our system which
has recently been recommended by
the officer in charge for installation
at CampFunston and which is fully
endorsed by the chief Of the Kansas
City fire department" said Mr. Fes-
senden. "We want to install the sys-
tenn in Chickasha and all we desire is
chance to give it a thorough tryout
here, demonstrating to you that we
are able to reduce your fire insur-
ance rates. Several of your own in
surance agents, who would stand to
lose money by the installation of the
system, have given it their approval,
thereby showing a fine quality Of
public spirit We offer this system
to you on terms that will cose you
practically nothing and we would be
glad to have you give us hearing
when we call on yoI
Upon invitation Of the club, Mr- r
E. Montgomery, of the Chickasha Cot
ton Oil company, placed before the
members a proposal for a new rail
road. The matter is still In the ten
tative stage. A committee consisting
Of Myron Humphrey, Grin Ashton
and f. G. Witherspoon, was appoint
ed to investigate further and report
ITO the club

MIDAS NO.2
IS A GOOD
PRODUCER

Dr. L. e. Emanuel, secretary-treas-
urer of the Midas Oil and Gas compa-
ny received a telegram yesterday
from Field Manager Brown at the
companys property in the Nowata
field bearing decidedly good news to
the stock holders of the company.
The message stated that the Midas
has brought in their second well and
that it is better than the first one.
I'VE have opened up new pool,
said DR.. Emanuel. There seems to
be no doubt about that How big it
is, I cannot say. but our second well
proves that we are going to get sew
eral good producers at the very least
/ talked to Mr.. Brown by phone after
I received his telegram. He was very
much enthused over the new well.
He stated that the well flowed all
day yesterday and would be a bigger
producer than our No /. Our settled
production on the two wells is going
to be very good indeed. We have an.
other well drilling, which should be
in within the next few days"

About twenty representative busi-

formulate some plan whereby the
Ozark Trail between here and that

It seems that the Caddo county peo-

been announced that unless some
work is done in the immediate future
there is little doubt but that the trail

Farmer Has Less Corn on Hand Than Last
Year. More Wheat; Growing
Condition Low
BIG IMPROVEMENT
SINCE RECENT RAINS
Average Price Cotton More Than 10 Cents
Higher; Cotton Seed Nearly $40
Per Ton Up

That the farmers in Oklahoma are
in better condition than they were a
year ago in many respects, is the in
formation contained in the monthly
crop summary for November, issued
by the Oklahoma state board of az.
riculture. The wheat shows a low
percentage, but the estimate was
ilade before the recent rains.
The report follows:
"The farmer has on hand from this
years crop SO per cent Of corn, 10
per cent Of wheat, 20 per cent Of
oats and So per cent of kaffir and
milo Having consumed and market
ed during the past month 2S per cent
of the corn crop, IA per cent Of
wheat 10 per cent of oats and 81 per
cent of kaffir and milo On the
same date one year ago the farmer
had on hand from the 1916 crop 50
per cent Of corn, IA per cent of wheat
and 81 per cent Of oats
The growing condition Of wheat is
s. per cent. Condition Of same date
last year was "a per cent. This con-
dition of 81 per cent does not show
the benefits OF the rains Of the latter
lait Of November, and the condition
in December should be greatly im-
proved on this account. Reports re-
ceived at this office show that good
deal OF the wheat acreage already
sown has not come up, and also that
IN 1aany parts of the wheat belt con
siderable wheat sowing has been in
progress during the past month and
at the present time.
Lint cotton is selling at an average
price Of 26.Sc per pound throughout
The state, and cotton seed is selling
at an average price Of $6O.SO per ton.
On the same date in 1916 lint cotton
sold for 16c per pound and cotton
seed at $4,000 per ton, The cotton
crop has been practically all picked
and placed in the hands Of the gin
ner.
The acreage cut for hay this year
is Is per cent less than that cut in
1916. This decrease is due to insult
ficient moisture during the growing
esason.
The condition Of live stock is as
follows: Horses and mules 81 per
cent, cattle s4 per cent and hogs 50
per cent. These conditions are based |
on a perfect condition of 100 per cent.
Our reports show that in the south
west cattle are in the poorest condi- !
ton, owing to the scarcity of feed. |
In a good many places reports also
show that water for stock is also
very scarce. Some cattle have been
reported dying in different parts OF
the state, due to being turned on corn |
stalk pastures. Just how corn stalks
effected the death of these cattle has
not as yet been satisfactorily deter
mined. Numerous herds of Texas
cattle have been shipped to Usage |
and other counties in Oklahoma, |
where fair to good pasturage is OBJ
tanned"
