portance to the business men Of the
city is to come up Mr.. Johns has

ent. VIII you be there?
We presume everybody admits that
more unity Of action Is needed among
the business men Of the city II re-
mains to be seen whether those who
hold this view will act upon IT, a
chamber of commerce can accomplish
nothing without the cooperation Of
its members. We cannot expect the
officers of it to accomplish wonders
unless we give them our aid.
a very capable secretary, Mr.. T. J.
Brown, has been employed by our
new organization Ee is looking to
the business men of chickasha to
support his efforts and he has right
to expect every man to put his shout
der to the wheel. The meeting this
evening will offer an opportunity to
our citizens 10 demonstrate to Mr..
Brown that they are standing back
Of him, ready to give him their cheer
ful and earnest cooperation. It will
be very discouragins, indeed, to him,
If our citizens generally do not re.
spond to the call Of Mr. Johns.
Attend the meeting tonight and by
your action show that you are ready
to do your part in every movement
fer a greater and better Chickasha.
It is up to our citizens to say wheth.

TRACK MEET WILL.
 N0T Bf. HELD IN
 THIS CITY IN uAAl
Prohibitive Hotel Rates Civ en as Reason by President
 of Association.

It is very probable that the all nual track and field meet of the Ar- kansas lnterscholastic Athletic asso. held in this city during the first week in May, will not be held in Pine Bluff.
 This statement was made yesterday in letter written by Prof. Joln G. Rossman, superintendent of the schools at Stuttgart and president of the interscholastic association, to Secretary E. B. Bloom of the Cham Der of Commerce, in which it was stated that the very high rates at the local hotels will prohibit the meet from being held in this city. Mfr. Rossman and Secretary Bloom have been in correspondence for several weeks in regard to the matter of se- curing lower railroad and hotel rates for the high school athletic teams and the visitors during the meet. and Mir. Rossman considers the hotel rates i'll this city entirely too high.
 Mir. Bloom has been in conference with the managers of the local hotels. in an endeavor to secure lower rates
 
 claimed by the officials of the hotels that the high prices of foodstuff and the added expenses of operation pre- vent them from being able to make any reduction whatever ill their prices.
 Professor Rossman stated in his letter to Secretary Bloom that he considered the local hotels unfair Tn their prices, and that if some red'Bc- ton is not made the meet will not be held in this city as scheduled. Secretary Bloom has been endeav- bring to make arrangements for the securing of several large halls, in which cots could be placed for the ac' commodation of the visitors, but Is !, unable to secure any satisfactory rooms, and it is very probable that Pine Bluff will lose the track meet this year.
