Try Out Validity Of Ordinance Re-

Frank Manning staff captain of the
Volunteers Of America was arrested
Sunday afternoon on a charge of vic.
lating a city ordinance recently pass
ed, which ordinance defined the linn
its on the streets of Chickasha,
wherein gospel services may be neld.
The case was continued this morning
in police court until next Monday
morning. In regard to the arrest,
Mr., Manning said
"As I understand the matter, the
city enacted an ordinance designat-
ing the places where gospel services
may be held on the street in Chick
asha, and have designated such plac-
es to be on any side street at least
onehalf block distance from Chick
asha avenue.
Years of experience in conduct
ing street meetings in this city has
taught us that it is not only not
practicable, but impossible to con-
duct successful gospel meeting at
the places designated by the city or
dinance.
Sunday afternoon my wife and
myself were conducting a meeting |
on Chickasha avenue in front of the |
Oklahoma National bank when wo
were stopped by Officer Davis, who |
placed me under arrest for conduct
ing services in the district prDnib-
tied by the city ordinance. / was

have no hard feeling toward the Of
Picer who arrested me, or any of the
police department. AS the matter
stands we have no choice in the mat
ter but must test this case out and
ascertain whether the courts will hold
the city ordinance valid or not. If
we are compelled to go to the dis
,ricts designated by the city to con-
luct street services, then we cannot

TO RELIEF
OF WHEAT

Washington, D. c. April 29.-It's
time to call out the potato reserve
in full force, says the United States
department of agriculture. Wheat
must have this support to last
through till the next harvest. There
are still millions of bushels Of that
442,596,000 bushel record crop of po-
tatoes we grew last year. Potatoes
can hold the line; they are made Of
the right stuff-much the same stuff
as wheat. They do much the same
work as wheat in the body. They
are plentiful and are getting cheaper
Eat lots Of them; then your wheat
needs become less.
There are almost endless way to
serve potatoes with meat and other
foods. Soups, salads and even des-
serts offer still other ways. Mixed
with flour they can be used in bak-
ing too That we can use potato flour
is not surprising, for the food sub
stance potato supplies most abun-
dantly is starch and it is largely be-
cause Of the starch they contain that
the world uses cereal grains as bread
stuffs. Food specialists of the de-
partment declare that with a little
experimenting housewives will find
that one-third to one-half of the flour
in some favorite recipe can be re-
placed with mashed potato.

State Board of Agriculture Requires
Team Work Before Campaign Is
Begun Against Parasite

Washington d. c., April 20
Agreements with officials Of 19 coun-
ties in Oklahoma, made by the Ok
lahoma State Board of Agriculture
and the u S. Department of Agricul-
ture, are expected to result at a COM
paratively early date in the cattle
of Oklahoma being wholly freed from
the federal quarantine against the
cattle-fever tick. The prospect of
the rapid cleaning Up of Oklahoma is
particularly significant to neighbor-
ing states, because Oklahoma is IA
vored by much good beef-making pas
ture, and many cattle have been sent
in from other states for feeding.
Eradication of the cattle tick in any
locality in the state means that cat
tie from infested regions both within
and without that state cannot be
shipped into the clean counties, un-
less they are dipped twice. AS the
various states clean up more and
more Of their territory their state
livestock sanitary officials are be-
coming more and more rigid in their
quarantines against infested cattle
from without the state Geolyia, in

even for feed or water, of infeNted
