GET GOING
AFTER HUN
Was Husky Bunch Grady Sent on First
Leg Of Journey 10 Front; Men
In Fine Spirits

They look good for special duty
in Uncle Sans army those twelve
husky young engineers who left
Chickasha yesterday afternoon for
Camp Mabry, Austin, Texas. And
although the increment was small
the Chickasha band did not forget TO
give them the glad departure and
wish them well with lively tunes.
At three o'clock Wednesday after
noon eleven Grady county men from
the northern and southern boards,
assembled at the exemption board Of
flee at the Federal building and
checked up ready for voluntary in
duction into army engineering train
Ing at the university Of Texas All
the lively airs in the music books
were ripped OFF to show the latest
honorary draft men that folks of
Chickasha were behind 'em on the
big shove.
Dozens of other men from north
ern draft districts we're enroute to
Texas university training on the
same coach that carried the Grady
boys to their destination.
1t was no bunch of down-hearted
lads, either, that made up the crew.
Veteran army engineers could have
had up no better spirit than that
in that laughing bunch of novices
who took to their future like an
Irish brigade goes over the top.
"What Saint Pat did for Ireland
we're going to do for France" yelled
one red haired son of the Uiu sod
from the car window. "They say ne
gave the high sign to the rats and
snakes and wen give duck soup to
the varmints in spiked helmets"
And that was the spirit of the whole
company.
The route for the engineer contin.
gent will be Waurika to Fort WORTH
and from thence by special train to
Austin. In addition to the list of in
crement published yesterday, Elmer
w. Gray, of the southern district was
added at the last moment.

JUDGE MOORE IN RACE AGAIN.

81 guess I've been on the job long
enough for the people to know
whether l am capable of handling
it and so l have nothing to say
except that l am a candidate said
Judge T. P. Mooe by way of letting
the voters know that he is again
in the running for justice of the
peace of Chickasha township, sub
ject to the choice of democrats in
the primary August Judge Moore
has served the people continuously
in this position since Oklahoma be-
came a state. That litigants and
attorneys approve of his methods of
doing business is shown by the fact
of his reelection from time to time.
By long experience in office he has
acquired a large knowledge of the
law, added to which he has the
judicial mind that enables him to
deal cut justice impartially. Judge
Moore will appreciate the support Of
his friends in the coming primary.

All Difficulties Ended When Board Makes
Deal for ShauOan Springs Grounds;
Ideal Place
COMPLETE PLANS FOR
BEST EVER STAGED
Many Exhibits 10 &c On Job; Try For
AirpIane Exhibition; Speakers Of
Noe Coming

Difficulties in settling on a site
for the Grady county free fair have
been entirely overcome and arrange
mcnts have been concluded with the
owners of Shanoan Springs where
by the use Of all buildings and equip
ment of the park were turned over
to the disposition Of the fair asso-
citation, according to ]. w. Kayser,
member of the board this morning.
Every building ON the grounds and
even the stock pens which are al
ready there will be turned over to
accommodate fair exhibits, Mr..
Kayser states.
Ben Johnson, owner Of the shan
oan Springs grounds, has fixed con-
tracts with free fair authorities to
clean out bath houses, bowling al
leys, larns, pens, etc, about the
park and surrender them ready for
rea heforas igcelags h,e,a ssfi.N1.iA'
ready for posting in the halls. When
all is finished, the Springs viii pre-
sent an ideal location for the annual
show fair board officials think. The
difficulty of erecting big tents for
the exhibits will be done away with
and the place has natural advan-
tages of ample shade and water for
such purpose.
Billing attractions for the fair is
under way this week. Though the
program of attractions was started
only q few days ago, it is the inten-
ton of fair promoters to combine
patriotism and civic interests and
with the double aim, the whole show
should be unusual. Fair men are to-
day in communication with Scott
Ferris in an attempt to arrange for
squadron of airplanes to be here
and if there is no miscarriage OF
plans the best stunt artists at Fort
Sill will antic before Grady county
fair crowds this year. Speaking
dates will be made soon with repre-
sentatives from both the republican
and democratic parties and oratory
will not be forgotten on the feature
bill. Candidates in the gubernatorial
race will be stars on the speaking
ticket, it is thought. All of the
other small amusements and attrac-
tions will be thrown in.
All premiums granted at the fair
this fall will be in War Savings
stamps. Mr.. Kayser declared this
morning. Premium lists are now or
the press and will be mailed out
to farmers and fine stock raiser'
over the county in few days.
