ICE FAMINE
THREATENS
CHICKASHA
Big Demands on Local Plant
Made by Other Towns; Lo-
Cal Supply Comes First,
Says Mandger.

Eleven weeks of continued drouth
and the hottest weather in years has
caused ice manufacturing plants over
several states in the dry belt to
double their production and still fail
in an effort to supply the ice de-
mand, according to statement is
sued this morning by 0. L. Bingham
manager of the Chickasha Ice and
Cold Storage company. Ice deliy-
cries over the city have been cut to
one each day in the business districts
and one every two days to the resi-
dence districts until rain or cooler
weather relieves the emergency, MIR.
Bingham says.
That Chickasha is better fixed for
ice than any other town in the state
excepting El Reno is the gist Of re-
ports from swamred companies
which have been appealing to the
local plant for helDsT ently. Okla

from Wichita Kansas, and from any
other source where it can be OBJ.
tanned and even tn pig ice factories
at Fort Worth and Dallas are. unable
to meet the multiplying need. Not
ten blocks of ice could be had from
Dallas and Fort Worth two weeks
ago and the condition is considered
even worse now All the southwest
ern part of the United States as far
north as Kansas City is under an
unprecedented ice famine, Mr. Bing-
ham has been advised.
S. o. S. Call received.
For the last few weeks calls have
been coming in to the Chickasha Ice
company asking even small ship
ments of ice to towns in Oklahoma
and Texas. Only part of these or.
ders have been billed out for gov
ernment use at Camp Doniphan, Fort
Sill and other points
City ice routes have been split up
and only one division can be covered
each day. Wagons will be able to
fill orders of any size at the house
on the days of delivery, however. it
is assured. Business house de.
mands will be filled on fewer deliv-
cries.
I'VE are doing our best to meet
the demands of the town and will

isfy home needs even though out
OF town orders have to be turned
down. Ice consumption in Chickasha
is the greatest in years and our
customers are requested to bear little
inconvenience until there is some
relief" Mr.. Bingham stated.
Regular deliveries will be resumed
as soon as the weather moderates.

Ioveliness- modesty.
l would rather put the whisky
glass in the hands Of my boy and
expect him to make a sober man
than to allow my daughter to do
the round dances and expect her
to emerge from that life pure in

Byron must haye looked a CEN
tury ahead and caught a vision of
the fox trot, bunny hug, and a.
few Of the modern dances when
he wrote:
"Fraught with this cargo, and
her fairest freight,
Delightful Waltz, on tiptoe for
a mate,
The welcome vessel reached the
genial strand,
And round her flocked the
daughters of the land.
Not decent David when before
the ark,
His grand paS-seul excited some
remark,
Nor love Quixote, when his
Sancho thought
His knights fandango friskier
than it ought,
Nor soft Herodias, when, with
winning tread,
Her willing feet danced off an
others head,
Not Cleopatra on her galley's
deck,
Displayed so much of leg, or
more of neck,
Than thou ambrosial Waltz,
when first the moon
Beheld thee twirling to a Sax
on tune"
And the suggestiveness of the
next few lines are not the sug>
gestiveness Of the poet but rath-
er what the waltz suggests:
Liberal of feet and lavish of
her hands;
Hands which may freely range
in public sight
Where ne'er before-but-pray
put out the light
Methinks the glare of yonder
chandelier
Shines much too far, or | am
much too near,
And true, though strange,
Waltz whispers this remark
My slippery steps are safest
in the dark.
But here the muse with due
decorum halts,
And lends her longest petit
coats to Waltz" \
But nowhere in the poem is
Byron's satire more biting thar
when he addresses himself to the
husbands of the waltzing wives:
But ye-who never felt a sin,
gle thought,
For what our morals are to be
or ought;
Who wisely wish the charm.

The waltz is demoralizing.

The waltz is demoralizing.
There can be no doubt of that.
In all normal, healthy people the
sex instinct and sex desire is
strong. 1t is useless to try to
dodge this fact. Natures Great
Plan would go all awry were this
not true. Ergo, the close con-
tact of the waltz, the embrace,
the motion. the challenge of the
eye, can not but excite the sex
desire and sweep the dancers
from all moral moorings. The
intoxication of the waltz is men
tai, but it is as truly intoXication
as that produced by alcohol.
The fact that men don't waltz
with men is sufficient indictment
against the waltz.
When you hear a man say that
he can hold a woman in the close
embrace of the waltz and feel the
softness of her flesh without his
passion being aroused, you are
justified in either doubling his
veracity or questioning his right
to wear trousers.
The ball room is psychological
ly demoralizing, Take the wo.
men who are devotees Of Terpsi-
chore and see to what extremes
of immodesty it leads. Would
women appear in church in the
same state of semi-nudity that
you see in the ball room? In her
