VIOLATION
is CHARGE
Hugo Cohen, Carnival Man, is
Caught in Federal Law Tolls;
In Jail Here Under
$4,000 Bond.

Hugo Cohan, an operator of a
carnival concession, has discovered
that at least it is costly to become
involved in the tolls of the law on
as serious a federal charge as vio-
lation of the espionage act. He is at
this time reposing in the county jail
under such a charge and with his
bond placed at $4,000 by U. S.
Commissioner j. w. Speake He will
await his preliminary hearing be-
fore the commissioner, the same
being set for August 26.
Cohen was arrested yesterday and
brought here late yesterday after
noon by James f. Dillon, deputy u
S. Marshal of the eastern district,
of Oklahoma. Although Comanche is
out of Dillon's district, government
officials thought it of sufficient inn
portance to issue a special order to
Dillon for the mans arrest, Dick
Worley, marshal of the Comanche
section being away on other bust
ness at the time
1t is intimated by federal officials
that numerous charges have been
unearthed against Cohen No defi-
mite statement has been made by
the officials as to the full extent of
the information that has been So
cured against the man. 1t is known,
however, that the government ex-
poets to prove at the preliminary
hearing that Cohen talked against
Liberty Bonds and War Savings
Stamps to members of the carnival
troupe
When arrested yesterday at Co.
manche, Cohen protested his inno-
cence, declaring that he had lived
in the United States since he was
a small boy. that he was for the
United States government, first, last
and always, that he worked for his
living and was as loyal to the gov
ernment as anyone.

HERE'S FURTHER
PROOF OF GAINS
IN BIG BATTLE

Proof that the allied drive on the
German lines has netted good results,
is contained in a bulletin issued by
the postal department to all post
masters and received today by Post
master G. W. Barefoot, in which all
offices are authorized to accept mail
to be forwarded to a list of GO towns
in France formerly held by the Ger
man army.
Previous to today VIC were not
allowed to accept mail addressed to
these towns" said Colonel Barefoot
Mail to them could not be delivered
because that territory was in the
hands of the Germans. It is differ
ent now. The allies hold these towns
and many others by this time and
we are at liberty to accept mail for
them.
This makes it very plain that the
allied armies are making rapid pro-
gress. II the news that we are get
ting were not authentic. that is, if
these towns had not been actually
captured by the allied armies. we
would not have been authorized to
forward any mail to them. 1t is proof
that our boys are doing what they
were sent to France to do and it is
further proof that we are getting
correct news of the progress of the
great battle in France"

GOOD FREE
FAIR SHOW
Farms Hard Hit by the
Drouth, Canning Exhibits for
Gray County Fair to be
Up to Standard.

Though practically every farm in
Grady county has been hard hit by
the drouth farm womens clubs
are preparing good exhibits and that
department will show up well in
comparison with the other agricultu
raj displays, according to a statement
issued yesterday by Mrs. Nettie Cor
yell, county home demonstrator.
Work of collecting exhibits has al.
ready begun and by making an un-
usual effort the woman's club show
can be brought near the standard,
Mrs. Coryell believes.
Rules first adopted to govern the
woman's exhibit have been changed
because of a shortage of gardens in
the state, the county demonstrators
was advised yesterday by letter
firm Emma A. Chandler, assistant
state home demonstration, Instead of
each contestant being forced go en-
ter specified products, girls ana
women will be permitted to exhibit
what they can, new rulings specify
Ia lining up rural club members for
the free fair, Mrs. Coryell announced
yesterday that duplication of jars
will be avoided as much as possible
but club members are advised to
bring exhibits they have on hand,
even if there are duplicates listed.
Prizes for girls club exhibits will
be awarded in four departments,
each being further divided into small
er groups in which smaller individual
premiums are offered Besides the
regular woman's club exhibit, the
form girls display has been listed In
the premium catalog just off the
press, as follows Girls Canning
Club, gitls bread club boys and
girls joultry club, and special girls
clugs will consist of domestic art ex
hibits, etc. All premiums will be paid
in War Savings Stamps as in the
other departments.

CONFER ON
QUOTA FOR
LIB. LOAN
Representative of Reserve Bank
Gives Assurance that Crop Con-
ditions in Drouth- Stricken
Section will be Considered.

That due consideration will be
given to conditions in the drouth-
stricken sections in the fixing o.
quotas for the Fourth Liberty Loan,
was the assurance given by c. A..
Davis, special representative of the
federal reserve bank at Kansas City,
TO bankers and members of councils
of defense of Grady, Caddo and sse-
phens counties who met in the court
house in Chickasha Thursday after
neon.
AT the request of Liberty Loan
Chairmen of southwest Oklahoma,
Mr. Davis came to the state to make
a personal investigation of conditions
and the meeting was called that ne
cessary data might be furnished to
him. The conference lasted over two
hours and in the course of it d
tailed information was presented to
him. ,az7
Practically all the banks in Grady
county were represented at the meet
ing and Caddo and Stephens coun-
ties were also well represented. w.
H. Donahue, district chairman of the
Liberty Loan Committee, called the
to order and Alger Melton,
chairman of the Grady County Coun-
Gil of Defense, presided. Mr. Davis
proceeded at once to call the roll
of those present and to put questions
that were calculated to give him the
information desired. Mr.. Melton made
the suggestion that no quotas be as
signed to the counties that have been
hit by drOuth but the concensus Of
opinion was that it would be better
TO fix quotas at figure that can be
met. 1T is not the intention of the
to place upon the people
OF these counties heavier burdens
than they can bear" said Mr.. Davis.
"and shall recommend that quotas
be assigned with due consideration
for the conditions which / find here.
Mr. Davis left this morning with
Mr. Donahue for Lawton and Altus
where meetings will be held with
bankers and business men.

there is little change in the Rauola
well in 14-1S-9 in tae Duncan field.
Efforts are being made to clean the
well out and drill deeper. There is
considerable oil standing in the well,
according to reports and the plans
are to go deeper into the same.
This sand was struck at depth Of
22i9 feet, which is about 100 feet
below the sand in the Magnolia "dis.
covery well, located a half mile
southwest Of the Ranola. The Rs-
nola drill is not deep in the sand
and it is but a question whether
the well will develop into q sensation

General Foch's blow on the Somme

Outlook for Year is Promising !;
Strong Faculties for Ward

Signed Up.
EDUCATIONAL DUTIES
ARE PRESSING NOW
With War on, Need of Education
More Acute Than Ever, says
Ramey; Makes Statement
to Parents.

Chickasha public schools will open
Monday September o. according to
a statement issued this morning by
city superintendent of schools, viii.
liam r. Ramey. Strong faculties for
all city ward schools and especially
the Junior and Senior high schools
have been signed up and all build.
ings are being put in order this week
for the start of record year, ac.
cording to Mr. Ramey.
In announcing the opening of
schools the city superintendent called
the attention Of students and patrons
to the fact that the educational system
OF every city this year will be a try.
ing one because of pressing war
emergencies. That there will be a
tendency on the part of parents to
keep their children out of school was
pointed out by Superintendent Ra-
mey as one of the biggest difficulties
that will be encounteredsth season.
While discussing the outlook for
the opening of schools, Mr. Ramey
issued the following statement:
THE city public schools win open
Monday September 9th. We have
cndeavored to complete plans to make
this one of the best school years.
Strong faculties have been secured
for the senior high school and the
junior high school, and we believe the
teachers for the ward schools are
on par with teachers formerly EN-
ployed in the schools.
"These days have been and will
continue to be trying ones i'm the af-
fairs Of schools While the supreme
idea of every true American citizen
is to win the war, it should not be
forgotten that the education of the
young people today is of great inn
portance. Because conditions are
pressing and many demands are
made upon the young people to fill
positions in the various lines of in
dustry, it should rot be forgotten that
educated men and women will be
much needed when the war shall
have closed.
Il desire to call the attention of the |
patrons Of the schools to the matter
of arranging for their boys and girls
to enter school the first day 1t will
doubtless be a great temptation to
many Of them to remain out of school
this year because they are now fill |
ing positions which pay them a small |
salary. The fact should not be lost
sight of that the future will call for |
educated men and women and those |
who are prepared will have no trou-
BILE in securing positions. Present |
time is the only opportunity for our
boys and girls to receive an educa-
tion. If disregarded now they doubt
less will feel the lack of it with very |
much regret in time to come"
