floor of the Federal building, by the
loca lRed Cross society. Cardboard
boxes 2x4x9 inches have been receiv-
ed by the local chapter from division
headquarters at St Louis These
boxes will be used as containers for
the articles sent to the Yankee "over

Each soldier will be provided with
one Christmas parcel label. This Ia

Der II, Says County Health
Superintendent.

"There is on need to worry further
about when the ban because OF the
influenza epidemic will be lifted in
Grady county. 1t will not be lifted
before November IL at the earliest" ,"
said Dr. S. o. Marrs, county health
superintendent this morning.
"This word comes from the state

tinued Dr. Mars The instructions

decision of the state health author

The physicians in Chickasha met

experiences in connection with the
epidemic and to discuss the best
methods of combating the disease.
I'VE must abide by the decision of
the health officers said Supt. Ra-
mey of the city schools The Chick
asha schools will make no attempt
to open until permission is granted

GRADY ALL SET FOR
GENERAL ELECTION

The election machiney in Grady
county has been put in motion in
preparation of the general election
to be held next Tuesday When the
bell taps, the al precincts in the
county will be supplied with all box
es, ballots and supplies and the 2SS
men required to stage the battle of
ballots" in Grady will be in their
places, if instructions of the Grady
county election board are carried
out.
II. N Canaan of Pocasset, member
of the board, has been in Chickasha
for several days assisting S. c. Dur
bin, secretary, and Dr. j. NJ, Hanna
of Alex, president of the board, in
the preparation of the boxes. Every
thing was put in readiness last night
and today the boxes are scheduled
to be taken to the various polling
places over the county, where they
Yill be in charge of the precinct
election judges until the day of cleo
tion. This applies to the county
boxes, as the city precincts win be
supplied with boxes on the evening
before election.
Safe Bet for Demos.
AS to results on the Grady county
ticket, it is easily nine to two bet
for the Democrats straight through,
playing 'em "on the nose" Of every
demo entry Only one Republican
is entered in the race for a county
office, all other G. o. p. entries fail
ing to get in shape for the start.
The lone Republican to take the bur.
den of the entire county ticket on
his shoulders is w Smedley, who is
booked for the county treasurer's

race.
This condition is not true of the
Socialists. The Red Cards have put
several men in the race and while
very little has been heard of their
campaign in the county, the Demo.
cratic leaders have been active in
the past week to rouse up good
vote, for safety first reasons.
The Socialists entered are as fol-
lows: L. r. Roger for sheriff; A. G..
Parish TO rcounty clerk; j. b. An
drews for county treasurer; John
Copp for commissioner, district No.
/; J. c. French for commissioner dis
trict No. q w, A. Ruth for assessor;
E. c. Godfather for public weigher;
r. c. Soarcy who was nominated
on the Socialist ticket at the prima-
ry for county attorney, has resigned
and his name taken from. the ticket.
State Ticket Interesting.
The state ticket in the county is
holding the center Of the stage as
far as interest is concerned. The
Republicans have been busy over
the state, while recently some con
siderable activity is evidenced in
Grady county, the G. 0. p. leaders
here working ON the basis and theory
of every little helps"
Outside Of the naming OF officers
by ballot the only other item to be
decided is the constitutional amend
mcnt on woman suffrage. During
the last week or two this question
has come to the front in Grady and
while it is believed that it will carry
here, it will undoubtedly prove of
much interest to the voters OF the
county as well as the women.

lies yo0r danger, II you think it is
cinch you are mistaken 1t is go

has been my experience that a big
quota is raised quicker than a small
quota, for the reason that the people

must get mighty busy on a big quota,

are inclined to exert small effort,
thinking the task an easy one and
therefore experience some trouble be-
