AN IMPORTANT MEETING

The board of directors or the Com
mercial and Farm bureau has called
a meeting Of all the citizens OF
Chickasha to be held at the CITY
hall Thursday evening for the pur.
pose Of deciding the future Of the
organization, Back OF this step is
the realization that Chickasha needs
more effective organization OF her
business forces in order to further
her interests. Instead of deciding
upon the nature of the fe-organiza-
ton to be undertaken the members
OF the Board preferred to put the
matten clearly before the people
1t was felt that the action taken asI
a result of such meeting should be
such as would meet with general
approval and thereby receive the
largest measure OF support
1t must be confessed that our ef
forts in the line of civic organization
in Chickasha in the past have not
been as successful as they should
have been The existing bureau has

RED CROSS CAMPAIGN


The Grady County Chapter Of the
American Red Cross requires at least
S1200 a month to carry on its work,
according to careful estimates made
by the officers This amount of
money must be spent every month
for materials in order to meet the
demands that come from the ma
tional officers for surgical dressings,
bandages. knitted garments, etc
without materials the workers con
do nothing and money must be
forth coming before materials can be
bought
Mr.. Myron Humphrey, chairman Of
the finance committee Of the local
chapter, has been given the job OF
raising the sum OF money required
and he has set about the accomplish
ment of the task in a business-like
way as well as in n truly patriotic
spirit The citizens OF Grady are
being asked 10 sign checks, payable
monthly, for the amounts they feel
able to contribute This system VIII
obyiate all difficulties in collection,
resulting in the saving of much time
and labor, an important item in
these times when war work is max
ing so many demands upon every
body
It is 10 be remembered that all the
money that is thus subscribed is 70
be spent by the local chapter none
OF it going to headquarters. Not
cent Of It is spent for salaries or
rent. all Of it going for materials thai
are used in making articles for mil.
itary use except very small sum
that is being spent for incidentals.
The work that is being done by the
Red Cross isI recognized by the war
department as essential to the sue
cess of our military operations. We
who are not enlisted in the army are
called upon to assist in caring for
and equipping the men in the field
The government expects this service
OF us and we shall fall short Of doing
oar duty if we fail to respond.

To contribute the amount which
Mr. Humphreys committee will re-
quire sacrifice on the part OF many
but those in whose breasts the fires
OF patriotism burn will not murmur
The young men going to the front
must risk and perhaps sacrifice all
they have; no other sacrifice can be
comparable to theirs. Let us talk
it over carefully with our conseiences
when the committee calls, asking
ourselves not how little we can give
to escape the stigma Of the Stacker
but how much can we give,
Keeping up the Red Cross win be
part of our business as long as
the war lasts and we should figure
our personal and business budgets
on the basis OF giving a certain
amount monthly for its support.

with a department devoted to agri-
cultural matters, seems to be the idea
of those who have given the subject
the most study.
The action taken by the citizens
when they meet Thursday evening
may be expected to have a far reach
ing influence upon the Development
of Chickasha All Of us who live
here have business or property in;
terests at stake should make sne-
cial effort to attend the meeting and

London, April 13-A motion proposed by Irish Nationalihts to omit the conscription of Ire land clause from the govern ment man-power bill was re- jected by a majority of 172 in the House of Commons last night. The total vote shows a large section of the house ab- stained from voting.
 The debate in the house yesterday and last night was remarkable for the speech of H. H. Asquith, the for mer premier, who, while strongly ob- jecting to the conscription of Ireland frankly declined to take the respon- sIbiIity at the moment the nation is facing a grave military crisis of push ing that opposition to the extent of forcing a change in the government.
 Henry E. Duke, chief secretary for Ireland, made a brave attempt to con- ciliate the Irish members. The effort led to a strong altercation with the Nationalists at the close of the de- bate.
