Western slope fruit growers today
have more money in their pockets

lost practically nothing thru car short.
age and consequent fruit wastage.
Missouri river terminals and east.
ern elevators have had to place an
embargo on receiving any more grain
loads that the West has dumped at
Geir gates.
Refrigerator cars have been made
available for the potato movement
and all perishablc vegetables sent
quickly on their way to market"
And Mr. Kipp announces that by

NO RELIEF
FROM ICE
SITUATION

If you should happen to friendly UP
to a local soda fountain and get a
soda that has not waxed cold, it may
not be the fault Of the man who
made it. The ice situation that be-
came serious here last week because
of the extreme dry weather is no bet
ter and ice deliveries have been cut
to the minimum even in the business
districts.
Beginning early this month contin-
ued hot weather drove daily ice con
sumption far beyond the production
that has been boosted at the ice
plant as much as possible. Factories
that usually have an ice surplus on
hands to ship out to relieve any To-
cal emergencies are now compelled
to shut down on export business, o.
L. Bingham, manager of the plant
here stated yesterday afternoon
With but one plant in the state
making ice for shipment and dozens
Of orders returned untitled daily to
the dry towns, the situation has be.
come serious at least temporarily,
Mr. Bingham thinks Quartermaster
authorities at Camp Doniphan have
arranged for regular supply from
El Reno and points in Texas, it is
understood, hut other wants must be
turned down
Fewer deliveries and in the cases
Of excessive orders, reduced quanti
! ties to consumers, win be observed
until there is some relief in the
drouth or until cooler weather, ae
cording to Mr.. Bingham.

Women Are Enrolling for Red
Gross Service; Applications
Coming to Committee
and More in Sight.

The drive for Red Cross nurses in
Grady county is getting well under
way, according to Mrs. Orin Ashton
chairman of the committee in charge
of the campaign.
Four applications for assignments
as student nurses have been received
and four graduate nurses have been
signed up while number of other
prospects are in sight.
One young lady who enrolled today
is a graduate of the state university
holding a B. S. degree, and she gave
up teaching position paying $500
per year in order to serve the Red
Cross. Another teacher who has rel
atives in the army called on the COM
mittee this morning to make arrange
ments for enrolling. The govern
ment is anxious to have educated wo-
men take up this work since it re-
quires less time to train them" said
Mrs. Ashton.
A widow with two children to sup
port, was among those to call on the
committee today She is anxious to
take up nursing but will be unable
to do so unless arrangements are
made for caring for her children. The
committee will be glad to confer with
anybody interested in this case.
From sections of the county out
side of Chickasha a number of pros
poets are reported by the workers
The committee is hopeful of being
able to enlist the county's quota be-
fore the drive is closed.

Under the new system of centralized
government employment in all works
of the country the hiring of labor
has been simplified and the supply
will easily meet all demands if the

Washington, Aug. Showing to
break the power of the so-called meat
trust, the federal trade commission
has recommended to President Will
son that the railroad administration
be given a monopoly of the transpor.
tation and distribution of meat.
1f'the commissions plans are adop-
ted, to the packers will be left the
single business of slaughtering and
skinning Through control of trans
portation the railroad administration
would break alleged priority papers
which the trust grants to its men,
bers now in all phases OF the bust
ness.
The commission charges that the
packers control the market and hold
the fortunes os competitors in their
hands.
