MAY RUN
TRAINS TO.
R.L.DEPOT
Proposal Is 10 Make Union Station Here
TO Cut Operating Expenses;
DOse MOI Official

AS a part of the great govern
ment program for reducing operating
expenses on railroads, the three
lines running through Chickasha may
operate through a union depot here,
according to unofficial statements
from local agents yesterday. Super
intendents of the Rock Island, Fris-
co, and Santa Fe lines have already
been here considering the possibility
of making the present Rock Island
depot a center for the three sta
tions but the date for effecting the
combination is not known. 1t is
thought however, that some definite
steps will be taken within the next
thirty days.
That the change, if it is made,
could be put into effect easily and
without inconvenience is the opin-
ion of j. r. Nugent, local Rock Is
land agent Mr.. Nugent believes
the Santa Fe traffic here could easily
be transferred to the Rock Island
depot and handling frisco trains
over the c. r. /. and p railway
tracks will present but little more
difficulty Though l am not pre-
pared to make an official statement
on the matter, l believe some change
to reduce the operation expense of
roads here as elsewhere is probable.
Il may come within the next thirty
days" said Mr.. Nugent.

IS CHARGE
Msysville Man Makes Talk Against Gov

Under Heavy Bond

Charged with having uttered state
ments intended to obstfuct the pro-

government of the United States, j.
]. Morton now reposes i'll the Grady
county Jail after appearance before
U. S. Commissioner j w Speake,
who placed the bond OF the accused
at $25O0. He awaits preliminary
hearing before the commissioner
The arrest was made by Deputy U.
S. Marshal James Dillon near Mayes-
VILE
In this case the government ex.
poets to prove that the defendant
stated that the War Savings Stamps,
the Liberty Bonds and the Red Cross
were frauds, and that at least eight
men in the United States had made
a million dollars out of the various
campaigns waged for these war en-
terprises.
The commissioners court also dis
posed of two or more cases, the ac-
tions being Stacker charges. Pete
Morgan and Raymond White were
arrested in Stephens county and
brought here by Deputy IT, S. Mar
shal Worley. Morgan entered a plea
of guilty as charged, made a bond
of $1,000 and was released pending
the action of the grand jury at Ard
more. His plea included the state
ment that he did not register.

White case, the commissioner re-
leased the defendant

Gifts On Christmas Are
ToaBe Abolished as War
Measure, Council Reports

Warnings of an intensive campaign
which win be launched against
Christmas giving we're received this
morning by Arthur Ersland, secre-
tary of the Retail Merchanes' asso,
citation, from the Oklahoma council
Of defense. Merchants and manu-
facturers of the state are being ad-
vised even this early that Christmas
giving that involves the purchase of
goods should be discouraged as re-
lieving 10 some extent the heavy bur-
den placed upon labor. Transports
ton and other reasons are cited by
the defense council as additional
cause for the curtailment of useless
giving during the Christmas season.
The campaign will be pushed Wig
orously at the present time, the letter
from the Oklahoma Council of De-
fense stated, but the big object of
rushing the announcement is to ad-
wise manufacturers and merchants

FARM MAN
PROSPECTS
ARE SLIM
Little Interest Shown in Call to Decide
On County Agent for Grady;
Outlook Gloomy

Prospect for securing an efficient
farm agent for Grady county now be-
came gloomier last night when only
a handful of farm boosters and
stockmen appeared at the farm bu-
reau to meet w. A. Conner, district
agent from Saltwater to complete
final arrangements in the matter
Though Mr.. Conner would issue no
statement on the meeting this morn
ing it is thought that the difficulty
of securing a man to fill the vacancy
here has been increased.
James A. Wilson, state farm agent,
will be here today according to a
letter received from Saltwater this
morning, and farm bureau officers
think some steps will be taken to
relieve the emergency. Extra appro-
priations for the hiring of a county
agent have been partially raised in a
canvass conducted by Arthur Ersland
of the fair association recently and
the few representatives from the eX-
treme southern part Of the county
who were here last night pledged
their support to whatever is one for
the good of agriculture in the coun-
ty.
1--WE were badly disappointed in the
interest shown last night as it was
the second attempt that has beer
made to settle upon the farm agent
problem" said Mr. Ersland this morn
ing. at shows a surprising lack OF
enthusiasm for good farming here as
we'll as our free fair this fall. l be
lieve, however, that farm boosters
and stockmen of Chickasha ana
Grady county have the t.dng more
at heart than was shown last night.

PARKER IS
TOANSWER,
BOND $500

Lon Parker, employee of the Bill
and John restaurant was bound over
to the action of the district court
this morning by Justice T. p. Moore,
being charged in effect with mis- sap
propriating funds. His bond was
fixed at $500.
The defense put on no evidence,
but the testimony for the state show
ed that on Sunday night ]. E. Woods
of Duncan came to Chickasha with
a roll Of about $50. That he deposit
ca $50 of that amount with Parker
who was on duty at the restaurant
and that about 10 or II o'clock Park
er knocked off" work for the night,
and that in the morning when Woods
called for his money, it was not in
the safe.
Parker does not deny receiving the
money from Woods, but says that he
put it in the safe and did not see il
again. He stoutly denies the charge
of appropriating the $50 to his OWL
use.

CALL OFF FLOUR
RECEIPTS SOON
IS NEW ORDER
New Wheat Crop Relieves Emergency,
Food Boss Believes; Some Restrictions

After July 20 the use of flour re-
ceipts in Oklahoma will be discontin-
ued until another food emergency
arises, official letters from the state
food administration to c. NJ Hol
lingsworth, Grady county regulator,
stated ehis morning. Restrictions on
the flour limits will not be removed,
however, and the flour substitute
rule will remain valid.
G. b. Ames, state food administra-
tor, is convinced that there is no
longer cause for a strict observance
of the checking system on flour pur
chasers and an honor system on the
buying of wheat products will be
tried out for a few months. New
wheat crops will afford a relief for
the emergency, Mr. Ames has decid
ed Farmers will be able to ex-
change wheat for flour and enough
wheat products VIII be issued on the
eight pound per person per month
scheme to last until October /. Gro
GERS are warned, however, to insist
on the sale of substitutes TO equal the
output of flour to both town and ru-
raj customers.
Hereafter prices charged by gro
GERS on sugar will not exceed one
cent over the purchase price, wires
from Washington repeated to county
directors announce r. d. Stone,
deputy food administrator for Okla
homa launched a campaign this week
for the reduction of sugar prices and
the new regulations will figure in
changing sugar quotations on the fair
price lists.
