market tomorrow" said a strawberry
man. who received the wire from

cars Of Strawberries instead of the
40 that would have gone there except
for the market news service of the
bureau Of markets. Chicago could
use 20 cars but not 40, and because
the other 20 cars went to different
markets many growers received checks

Helping the Uncle Henrys.

Guesswork in marketing of fruits
and vegetables has gone. The market
news service is working for many
"Uncle Henrys' and also for dealers
and consumers. No one profits when
a city receives more of any fruit or
vegetable than it can consume, and
rs means of correcting such cond-
ton it is necessary to know how much
produce is en- route to that city.
The market news service for fruits
and vegetables. with its many agents
and with assistance from railroad Off
Gals, gives daily picture of market
conditions throughout the country for
both shipper and dealer and places
this picture in the form Of a typed re-
port in the hands of all persons inter-
ested. The bureau of markets uses
leased wires to gather this infOrma-
ton and furnishes market news, in
Guiding prices and supplies, to more
than $4,000 individuals in 80 states.
The reports. which are issued stimuli

ducing sections, covered in 1917, p
commodities, including Strawberries,
tomatoes, peaches, catalogues, onions,
potatoes, apples, grapes, watermelons,
and asparagus. Each report carries
market information from most of the
large cities as well as giving shipping
point information.

why anyone should want to know

ELECTION

According to the result of the city
school bond election held yesterday,
the teachers in the Chickasha schools
are due to have their salaries raised.
The election carried by a vote of S5
to H.
While there was no decided rush
evidenced at the polls at any time
during the day, as indicated by the
total ballot cast, there was yet
enough voters remembered the oc-
casion to put the proposition over.
By their action, the voters authoriz-
ed an additional levy OF four mills
over the five mill levy allowed by
law, making a total of nine mills for
the schools
This figure is but one mill more
than was used by the schools last
year. The intention of the board of
education as announced before the
election is to increase the salaries OF
the teachers about 1917 per cent.
