THE CASE OF CAPTAIN
HENDERSON

The other day Capt. w. d..
Henderson, 627 Iowa, showed us
some pictures Of his residence
and yard. at just shows what
a man can do by deyoting lit
tie time to his yard and flow
ers, was all that he said as he
made an unsuccessful effort to
suppress any manifestation of
pride.
Now there are numbers of
homes in Chickasha which fur
nish fine examples Of civic at
tractiyeness and we wish we
had time and space to rave over
all Of them but we can use only
the case of Capt. Henderson as
our text today. We are not sure
that the captains statement
was strictly accurate. Possibly
he should have said that the pie
lures show what man can ac-
complish when he is sufficiently
urged by the manager Of his
household. But, waving this
mooted point, whatever the
force which prompted his indus
try, the captain has every reason
to be proud Of the results of his
labors and we wouldn I blame
him bit if he should swell up
over it. He has made his yard
a wonderfully beautiful place
which must minister to his own
pleasure as well as to that of the
passerby.
Wouldn t Chickasha become
famous town if every resident
would follow the example of
Capt. Henderson, There is no
place in town so unpretentious
that it cannot be made attrac-
tive by the exercise Of little in
dustry. 1t doesn't cost much to
have a pretty yard and parking.
Some civic pride, plus a small
expenditure of time every day,
will do the business. Take
look at the Henderson place and
then resolve to go home and do
likewise.

Wheat Crop Aid

Washington, June 14.-Congress,
man Scott Ferris has been appealed
to by the Oklahoma state board of
trade and the Oklahoma Grain
Dealers association asking him to
secure from the shipping board
more ships for southern ports in or.
der that the grain now being har-
vested in Oklahoma laay not go to
waste through lack Of shipping ia
cilities.
Ferris today presented the matter
to the shipping board and Mr..
Bailey, a member of the shipping
board, has just advised him that
meeting of the entire board was
held today when they considered
the appeals of the Oklahoma peo-
pie and they give Ferris assurance
that they will cooperate in every
way an dthey know of no reason
why they cannot take care of the
in the shipment Of wheat
that is now being harvested.

HONOR OLD GLORY

Today, June H. is Flag Day.
If you have forgotten 10 fly The
nations emblem, put it up right
now before the day is cnded.
During the past year cold
Glory" has done lot Of gall
wanting abroad 1t has been
borne at the head Of columns Of
victorious American troops in
France and into Germany. Our
boys are now bringing home the
battle-worn flags and who can
gaze upon them without thrills
One of the soldiers Of the
142nd said to us the other day,
"Glad to get back? Yes, and
you bet America means more to
us than ever before. " Those Sc
rious-looking youths, after go
ing through The fiery ordeal in
France, fighting for what the
flag represents, know the signi-
ficance of every star and stripe |
in the flag and we who re
NAMED at home should be able
to share their emotions as we
view the emblem.
Etiquette prescrbes that eve
ry civilian stand and bare his
head when the flag is passing
but in the excitement attending
the parade Of the returning vet
Grams most Of the folks on the
street forgot it. However, it is
the substance Of the thing, rath-
er than mere formality, which
counts and we feel sure that the
patriotic people Of Chickasha
We're filled with pride as the pro-
ceSSion of herOes' moved thfough1
the streets, following the flag as
they had across the seas.
On this day, dedicated to
paying respect to the emblem
which stands for all that Ameri-
ca means to us Individually and
to the world, it is we'll for us to {
indulge in serious reflection
while we display the colors re-
membering all the precious I
rights and privileges which are {
ours as American citizens.

SCRIPTURE
I King $3.50.


In Gideon the Lord appeared to
Solomon i'm a dream by night: and
God said, Ask what ! shall give thee.
And Solomon said, Thou hast shew-
ed unto thy servant David my father
great mercy, according as he walked
before thee in truth, and in right
eousness, and \ in uprightness of
heart with thee; and thou hast kept
for him this great kindness, that thou
hast given him son to sit on his
throne, as it is this day
And now, o Lord my God, thou
hast made thy servant king instead
of David my father, and am but
little child: l. know not how to go
out or come in.
And thy servant is in the midst of
thy people, that cannot be numbered
nor counted for multitude.
Give therefore thy servant an un-
derstanding heart to Judge thy peo-
pie, that I may discern between good
and bad; for who is able to judge
this thy so great a people?
And the speech pleased the Lord,
that Solomon had asked this thing.

TEXAS COUNTY SETS A
GOOD EXAMPLE.

/
Texas is a great and glorious
state-"a an empire within itself, >
as some steen thousands Of politi-
cal orators have no doubt remark
ed The I5ene Star state is big
in every direction and, besides
that, it has a history which is
filled with heroic pages. But,
gentle reader, don't get the idea
from this opening paragraph
that we are a professional Tex
an AS a matter Of fact, we hap
pened to be born in Missouri,
but at the present writing our
proudest boast is that we are an
Oklahoman. We mention these
preliminary matters only to
prove that neither pride nor
prejudice prompts the remarks
which follow
Some weeks ago the people Of
IOklahoma emphatically turned |
down a proposal to establish a
state system Of hard-surface
roads. 1t was a strange thing
for a progressive people to do
and naturally it made us feel
sad. But the hardest blow was
yet to come and it struck us
square in the face when we read
in the paper that Wichita com
ty, Texas, just caross the river
from Oklahoma, voted q million
and half for hard-surface
roads, the friends of the bonds
out-numbering the foes by about
fifteen to one. Now think Of
that for just one moment
Doesn't it make your blood
boil to think that it was Texas
and not Oklahoma that set such
a splendid example Proud as
we are of Oklahoma, we must
confess that we have crest-fall-
IN feeling. 1t ism right for
Texas, or any other state to out
10 Oklahoma but Wichita coun-
.y has done it and there s no
lenying the fact. l. = hurts but
here's no helping it now. Our
nope is that the next time we
get a chance to vote on the
proposition the inspiration of
he Wichita example will serve ,
o make the result different. \

OILERS IN
DISCUSSION
GAS TESTS
Representatives Meet With Corpo
ration Commission; Determine
Set of Rules; Commission
to Make Report.

Oklahoma City, June 14-Oil pro
ducers and manufacturers from all
over the state were present at a
two-day hearing before the corpora
tion commission on the question OF
making rulings for the testing and
inspecting of oil and oil products.
A set of tentative rules had been
drawn up for discussion.
The first point over which discus
sion arose was section A rule three,
which in defining kerosene said it
must be free from acid and sui
phur." Experts present said ii was
impossible to get Oklahoma oil alb
solutely free from sulphur and sug
gested that "a trace" be substituted
One-tenth Of one per cent was gen
rally agreed upon as a practical
maximum
Gravity or Distilate Test.
Most of the discussion of the first
day arose over Rule Four, the mer-
its Of the distillate test and the spe-
cific gravity test f. NJ Leaham,
OF Kansas City representing the
Western Petroleum Refineries com
pany, wanted a method so that oils
below the present standards could
be used, saying that there is an in
creasing demand for such oils
for tractors and similar machinery |
Part of the session was taken up |
over the discussion of the manner
of testing. A number of experts |
testified that the distillate test was !
all right for use in laboratory, |
but that it was too complicated for
field work and required a trained
expert to make it properly.
"Not only is the distillation test
90 complex said Mr.. Leaham,
but the results obtained from it
Utmost always differ AS for the
specific gravity test at 81 degrees
3aume-I do not believe a gallon

iona City in a month
Experts Testify.
Dr. A. p Bjerregard, chief chem
st of the Empire Refining companies
ave a demonstration of the dis
illate test
"The differential test is too com
licated for an ordinary inspector,
Though l would favor it if the
esting were done in some central
abOratory | think the gravity test
5 the most practical, but favor 55
lstead of 61 degrees. At 55 l think
he price of gasoline would be five
r six cents lower"
The experts present finally came
, an agreement of test with the
initial point ranging from 40 to $50
nth an N Noint of 450 to 470 de
rees and from 55 to 60 by the
aume test. 1t was suggested that
4 regard to Rule Six, a matter of
tandars, that a tolerance of one de
rec be permitted
Chairman Art L. Walker suggest
as an amendment to Rule Z that
sign be put up at the place of
ale, saying "Rules of the Corpora
on commission have been com
lied with. Only minor changes
ere suggested for changes in other
lies, which deal mostly with the
gal authority of the commission
he afternoon session was princi-
ally spent in demonstrations of
lie various tests.
The corporation commission will
Ike eht various suggestions under
dvisement and within a few days
i'll probably issue set of rules
