BIG DRIVE
TO WIND UP
CAMPAIGN
Memberships Roll In; Good Records Made
By Red Cross Workers Saturday;
Strong Arm Squad Busy

The last day Of the Red Cross
membership campaign. opened this
morning with prospects good for a
record run OF business as fitting
climax to strenuous week.
The feature Of the days business
locally was the scheduled giving
away OF a registered pig. His hog
ship was donated to the local chap
ter OF the Red Cross by R. A. Moore
of Slower, in the southern part of
the county. Mr.. Moore is the owner
of a prosperous stock farm in that
section. He gave his numerous hogs
the once over and selected the best
in the lot, which animal he delivered
to the Red Cross officers here to be
given away today. Workers were
busy during the day selling numbers.
The drawing was to take place this
afternoon.
While reports for Saturdays work
are not complete from over the coun-
ty, it is thought by the manager Of
the campaign that some good records
were hung up Mr. Kayser stated
that it is probable that the campaign
will run day or two longer through
the county precincts in order that
they may have better opportunity
to get in their quota,
In Chickasha Saturday, the Strong
arm squad did a regular holiday
business at the corner Of Chickasha
and Third. SO efficient did they be-
come that there was not chance to
get by them without being separated
from dollars unless you we're wear
ing button. Their receipts for the
day were s2s3.
At the booth in the First Nation
al bank building, Mrs. Snyder made
good record. She was on duty six
hours and collected a total of S59
Others who made good reports for
their work Saturday were; Miss
Margaret Sastner sci, Mrs. A. B.

STOPS FOR

CoriOn Shuts Down; Work TO Continue
After Jan. |; Other Wells COmplei-

Since the blow-off at the Gorton
well on the Wade farm in 2-5-9 a
week ago, things have been rather
quiet in the southwest Chickasha dis.
trict. AT the same time, prepara-
tions for drilling in several locations
continue.
Word from the location this morn
ing is that the Gorton well is shut
down until after the holidays. Mr..
Gorton, millionaire owner Of the well,
left Saturday with his wife for RAJ
cine, Wis, there to spend the hol-
idays, It is said that there will be
nothing done at the well until their
return. More casing trouble is re-
ported from the Gorton and it is by
no means a safe bet to state just
when the well will be drilled to the
production depth, which is believed
to be only few feet beneath their
present level, 2O0s feet.
While no actual drilling has been
evidenced at the Fortuna No. 2 To-
cation in $50, it is known that they
have their rig completed, tools on
the ground and all preparations made.
They are ready to spud in.
At the Gladstone location, which
is the property Of the Sonora Oil and
Gas company, in 1863. the rig IS
completed, the tools are on the
ground and they are completing the
gas line from the Fortuna gasser to-
the Gladstone location. As soon as
this is complete, drilling will be start
ed. This location is 400 yards east
Of the Fortuna gasser. The Sonora
owns the property and the Gladstone
company has the drilling contract.
Very little progress has been made
by the Santa Fe people at the old
Star well, 1860, on the Kunzmuller
farm during the past week. They
are ready to drill as soon as their
gas line is complete. There seems
to have been some delay, owing 70.

pected to begin there this week, how
ever.

Mr. and Mrs. NJ A. stoddard receiv-
ed message from Santa Clause
early this morning stating that he
would arrive in this city tonight at
o'clock sharp and all those who
expect him at that time must be at
the city hall where he will gently
swoop down in an airplane and stop
for short visit with the poor chill
dren.
The Christmas tree that is TO be
given by the various fraternal or
ders in this city for the benefit Of
the poor children is all in order and
a pleasing sight it is indeed When
the children step into the city hall
tonight they will see a large ever
green tree located In the center Of
the hall on the second floor, that
reaches to- the top of the building.
On this will be placed enough pres
ents for at least two hundred chill
dren whose names have been hand
ed to the committee.
The committee in charge Of the
work has sent out special request
that none but those who have receiv-
ed invitations apply for admittance to
the second floor as this space has
been provided for the children who
viii receive the gifts, and their pa
rsnts. To those who have received
invitations it is requested that they
bring with them their written invita-
tion that has been given them BY the
committee in order that they will
not meet with any embarrassment at
the door as it is the plan Of. the COM
mittee not to admit anyone to the
floor on which the tree is located,
without the invitation.
However this does not mean that
the public is not invited as seats
have been placed in the gallery and
this space win be open to the spec
tators.
Preliminary to the giving out Of
the presents there will be short
program which will take about thirty
minutes time. This part of the work
has been under the supervision of
Mrs. Morgan which is assurance Of a
splendid program. The program will
consist of readings, songs and drills
given by the children.
Immediately after this wrogram the
presents win be given out and Santa
Claus win be there to personally su-
perintend this part Of the exercises.
These presents have already been
sent in advance and were to be seen

GIVE GOOD
PROGRAMS
Christian Church Stages CauIata With
Songs and Readings;Mei Ser.
iYce Has Patriotic Touch

A large audience was delighted
with the rendition Of the Christmas
program at the Christian church last
night, consisting of a cantata with
songs aud readings given by the chill
dren. Each and every part was
roundly applauded but especially did
the crowd show its appreciation Of
the little girls who represented fai-
ries and the "little tots" who were
dressed in their night clothes in rep
resentation Of "The Slumber Islands,
When Santa appeared with a sleigh
filled with presents the children's
faces lighted up and they began
climbing upon seats to get view
Of the much talked Of Kriss Kringle.
When the Tiny Tots" came out
for their number they were greeted
with a round OF applause. which at
first they seemed unable to inter
pret This was followed by a roar
OF laughter from the audience but
the tots soon got under headway,
much to the delight Of the great
crowd.
The program was divided into
three parts The first period was
taken up with the preservation of the
cantata. This was followed with
songs at which time the presents
that had been purchased for the less
fortunate we're distributed and while
the audience joined in singing AT
the Cross l Glory, the gifts were
laid at the base Of the white cross.
The last part was the offering given
for the aged ministers.
The church was specially decorat-
ed with Christmas cologs. In the
center Of the stage was large white
cross draped with an American flag
and on one side was small Christ
mas tree appropriately decorated but
which bore no presents. Christmas
bells and holly leaves were used
throughout.
The closing part OF the cantata
was very impressive Each member
that had taken part was presented
with a small American flag and while
the chorus sang the fairies, the
brownies and the ''tiny tots" took
their places on the stage and with
flags waving they sang the Star
Spangled Banner" while the audience
stood.
An equally impressive program was
presented at the Methodist church.
The program opened yith a talk and
scripture reading which was follow
ed by a short play given by members
Of the Sunday school This was fol
lowed by reading and songs after
which a general collection was TAX
en-, finally closing by singing Amer

An Italian flying corps, it is estim-

Trieste.
These achievements have cost Italy
approximately S48 ,S45 100000 in a
wear. Nearly $4,000, 100000 Of this
was spent on the army and $166,O00,-
600 on the navy. The present monthly
cost OF the war is close to $2250O0,-
900. Americas financial aid has been
of great service in helping Italy to
meet this tremendous strain.
The German submarine campaign
has resulted in sky-rocketing living
prices in Italy and in considerable
discomfort. The situation, however,
is far from serious. The cost of liv-
ing is now mp nearly GA per cent.
from before the war. Coal is almost
prohibitive. That for ships, at sea-
board, is around 500 a ton; American
shoes, formerly So and $40, cost more
than SIS now. Sugar, butter and flour
are rarities. Meat is scarce. But the
Italian people do not appear TO be
suffering in the least from their de-
privations.
