THE MARINE CORPS is

We are in receipt of the following
from Sergeant Stuart, who is in
charge of the marine recruiting sta
ton in Pocatello:
THE U. S. Marine Corps is open for
men between the ages of Is to 36
years, inclusive.
THE Marine Corps offers excellent
advantages for young men, as all Off
GERS in the Corps are made from the
ranks; that is, to become an officer
you first have to serve in the ranks as
an enlisted man. =sI
There is great need of men in the
service at the present time, as we ex-
pect an increase of twenty thousand
men in the Naval Bill before congress
now. So you see it is up to the re-
cruiters of this state to place the Ma
rine Corps before the public eve. and
the only way to do 80 Is to appeal to
the editors of our papers. The newspa-
per editors of my district have been
very kind in that respect. and have
helped the Corps to their last quota
from this state.
ITO enlist In the Marine Corps q
man has to weigh at least 1873 lbs.
be feet 4 inches tall and not over 6
feet inches In height. A man In the
draft may enlist providing he obtains
statement from the draft board con-
cerned that he Is not needed to Ill

PATRIOTISM OF THE
r-7 s.t AMERICAN PRESS

In noting the patriotism OF the
press in the western states, the Man
ufacturer OF Portland says:
"The Manufacturer gets exchanges
from every western state and not one
has yellow streak.
1.-THE nation is not rich enough to
ever repay the newspapers for the
generosity OF their support.
"They make the drafts, the great
war loans and multitudes of local en-
terprises possible.
"They are loyal in support OF the
great national industries and unit
In condemnation of enemies.
Every newspaper is editorially
right upon the fighting line of enthu-
siasm to win the war.
Back of a loyal nation is a loyal
press building the bulwarks of pub
lie sentiment for victory"

HOLD MEET
CITY HALL
THURSDAY
Important Session Of Farm Bureau BOOs
ters Call to Decide Fate of Chamber
Of Commerce Feature

| One OF the most important meet
ings so far as Chickasha as a city
is concerned will be held at the city
hall Thursday evening at 1880 o'clock
when everyone, and especially all
/ business men are requested to be
present. The importance of the meet
ing lies in the fact that it has to do
with the question of whether the
Commercial and Farm bureau be
abandoned or be continued as it has
been in the past or whether it be
reorganized and continue the Farm
bureau as a department of the same.
The plan of deciding the question
was determined at meeting OF the
directors of the Commercial and
Farm bureau yesterday The ques-I
ton of whether the Commercial and
Farm bureau should be continued as
it had in the past was brought be-
fore the directors at this meeting
and after considerable discussion itI
was decided to take everybody into
counsel on the question before any
definite action was taken,
1t was the unanimous opinion OF
the board of directors that Cham
ber of Commerce should be formed
and that the interests Of the city
demnaded that some action be taken
at this time. Orin Ashton is leading
the movement for the organization OF
a Chamber of Commerce. Support
ing this movement is Ed F. Johns
and Ben F. Johnson and many other
prominent business men of the CITY,
If a Chamber of Commerce is or
ganlzed and the Farm bureau is re-
tais,ca as separate department a
secretary will be chosen and sal
ary provided for, that whomsoever is
ch, sen as secretary will be on the
Job all Of the time and in this way
the city will be able to take care OF
any proposition that may be offered
and the secretary will know just
what is doing all the time.
In discussing some of the matters
that could be taken up by a Cham
Der of Commerce at this time the
proposition of securing natural gas
for this city was mentioned as we'll

opening of the Cement Oil field. 1t
was shown that a great deal more
might be done toward building good

President After Reading Stephens
County Report; Boost Roads

: e. c. Burton. president of the
Grady County Highway association
has just received the following re
port from Duncan on the work Steph
ems county has done toward com
pleting the proposed road north
from duncan to the Grady county
line:
County Clerk Ralph Talley, Coun.
ty Commissioners Moore and Reagan
accompanied by County Engineer
Leverett, returned Sunday from Okla
homa City, where they had been con-
ferring with the tSte Highway Com
mission for several days in the in
/ terest of that part OF the State High
way that passes Though Stephens
county.
after hearing tlo statements and
claims of Stephens county party, the
board promptly approved the appro-
priatior of $4,000, made some time
ago, for the improvement of the
highway from Duncan north, to the
Grady county line. The plans of this
part of the highway was also ap-
proved by the board, and were
brought back by Mr. Talley. Bids
for construction of the road are be-
ing advertised for in this issue of
the Banner, and these bids will be
opened next Monday. 1t is expected
that the contract will be awarded and
that the work will be commenced at
a very early date.
"The plans call for a dirt road, to
start from the northwest corner of
the corporate limits of Duncan and
follow the section line due north
passing through the western edge of /,
NARROW, distance of IL miles.
"The construction of this road will
be of the most permanent nature.
Culverts will likely be of steel and
concrete, while bridges will, be of
iron and steel, wherever it is possi-
BILE to build them so with the amount
of money on hand
This will mean the completion of
another important link in the State
Highway, which is to be known as
the Meridian Highway, from Canada
to the Cuff" /
Speaking Of the report, Mr.. Bur-
ton said Today: "This is the sort of
action decided in Grady county,
These people are actually doing
They have not only used
the money derived from their own
tax, but they have secured
$4,000 from the state. Grady coun-
ty has $4,000 tax money to spend on

after the state money and stay with
them till we get it, just as Stephens
county has done"

ORGANIZE
SUFFRAGE
MOVEMENT
To Start Educational Campaign Here;
New York Woman Tells Of Suf Co.
Operation With Government

Yesterday afternoon at the Chris
tian church, Mrs. Frank ]. Shuler OF
New York City spoke to small
assembly of Chickasha women on the
suffrage question, and perfected an
organization here. The following
officers were elected: Mrs. John G.
Hewett, chairman; Mrs, M. CoryelI
! vice-chairman; Mrs. Ed F.. Johns, sec
retary; Mrs. Morgan Hamilton, treas
urer; Mrs. Lloyd Doughty. chairman
Of the finance committee.
The main points touched upon by
the speaker, were the cooperation
Of the women with the government in
the various war preparations that
are under way throughout the nation
at this time. The speaker showed
how the government had called upon
the women, individually and more
especially on their various organiza-
tions to help win the war, and she
covered In detail the work that the
women have done in the Liberty
bond campaign, the Red Cross work
and the vast assistance the women
are giving Herbert Hoover to make
the food conservation program sue.
cess.
She declared that the suffrage or
ganizers, or organizations were in
no way antagonistic to the govern.
ment as some people were led to be-
lieve, but on the other hand were
ready and willing at all times to do
their part in cooperating with the
government.
In answer to the theory advanced
by some that the women should not
be permitted to vote because they
cannot go into the trenches and
fight, Mrs. Shuler referred to the
Legion of Death" organized by the
Russian women and showed how they
went to the front and fought
shoulder to shoulder with the men.
She also pointed to the vast mum
ber OF girls and women who are
irving ambulances and in other ways
doing their part in the actual war
zones. All this, the speaker said,
Is in addition to the monumental
amount of war work that is being
Zone by the women of the various
war ring nations.
The purpose of the meeting yester.
lay, was primarily to perfect an or
sanization here, and to start a cam.
paigu of education as to the real
doctrine of woman suffrage.
The speaker was accompanied to
Chickasha by Mrs. Frank Lucas, OF
Oklahoma City, one of the most
prominent suffrage workers in the
state.

What Il is
This section of ss.lc w.. = etsts
ment is really a vast engineering
body organized to conduct inspections
of signal corps equipment during the
manufacture so as to maintain the
higfh standard demanded for our
troops. The Importance of this ex-
pert work cannot be over estimated.

stampings 921: forgings 79S; turn

wire, feet 1892; vanish, gallons II;
dope, do SO; aluminium, pounds 65
rubber, feet "a; linen, square yards
POI; spruce, feet 244; pine, feet So;
ash, feet 81; hickory feet IL.
Guarding Against Sabotage
The lives of our whole fighting
forces depend upon the perfect and
adequate production of all signal
including airplanes and
radio telephone and telegraph sys-
TENS. There is probably no place
where defect in material would bring
greater disaster than in an airplane
or in the equipment which transmits
orders for advances or reinforcements
or directs the artillery fire of our
fighting forces. Production must be
speeded up so that our armies can
be equipped with every technical in
strument that will help save the lives
Of our soldiers.

trained along mechanical
