STRAY DOG
is MENACE
TO HEALTH
So Says City Physician and Ad-
vises That Critter Be Bumped
Off; Declares Too Many
Dogs Here Now.

Get rid of that stray dog, the most
thriving agency for the dissemina-
tion Of hydrophobia, is the advice
of Dr. e L. Dawson, city superin-
tendent of health.
Speaking of the hydrophobia stua-
tion, Doctor Dawson said
THE hydrophobia season is at our
door We should rid ourselves o,
the pests that are the best source
for the transmission of the hydro
phobia germ Many dogs are worth
less, are injurious to any community
and one Of these pests may convey
enough hydrophobia germs to kill
several people
Men who have studied the hydro
phobia situation and the germ for
many years state that the safest and
surest way of extermnating the
germs is to smother out the trans
mitters. the dog.
"Chickasha has too many dogs,
that wander over the city through
and in the germ breeding places, and
are therefore soon infected WITH
germs and gacterla of almost every
disease. The germs are soon given to
the human being and thus the disease
secures a strong foot-hold No better
o. earlier time will ever exist for tie
stamping out Of the hydrophobia
malice than right now
1T was necessary to shatter the
German army before the world could
be made safe for democracy; it will
be necessary to shatter the large
army CT dogs before Chickasha AMI
Grady county can be made safe from
the dreaded germ Of hydrophobia.
Kill the stray dog"

WARNS OF
UNLAWFUL
s. S. SALE
Postal Department Points Out
Dangers of Selling War Saw
ings Stamps to Spectators;
Can't Be Cashed

In the Postal Bulletin recently is
sued by the post office department
of the United States, reference is
made to the unlawful traffic in War
Savings Stamps. 1t points out that
provision is made for the cashing Of
w. s. S. by the original purchasers
but states emphatically that postmas,
ters are ordered not to cash stamps
for those who have bought from the
original purchaser.
In this connection the bulletin
says:
'The government needs the money
and hopes the holders of war-savings
certificates will retain them, but it
will place no obstacle in the way of
those bona fide holders who request
repayment On the other hand, the
secretary will exercise every means
within the power of the treasury,
and has asked the cooperation of the
post office department, to prevent
payment being made to those ras-
Gals who are buying the certificates
and stamps for less than their re-
demption value and promptly turning
them in to the government for re-
demption at a profit, and serves no
tice upon those people who are en-
gaging in this disreputable business
that this is the settled policy of the
treasury.
In this connection attention is in
vited toehe following extract from
the instructions issued to postmasters
by the post office department, un-
der date of January %, 1919, with
respect to the redemption of wax
savings certificates presented by per.
sons or firms known to be buying
or publicly offering to buy WARSAW
ings stamps or certificates from their
owners:
'Postmasters are further instruc
ted not to pay any war savings Ger

Washington, June G. President S.
j. Koenkamp Of the Commercial Te-

declared that Postmaster General
Burleson's order restoring the con
troll of the nations wires to the com
panies and their owners means a
Finish fight" between the telegera-
piers and the Western Union
throughout the country.
This action, President Koenkamp
saidI will be made necessary by the
Western Union refusing to reinstate
uniustly discharged employees and
abide by the regulations.
Immediately after he had been no.
titled that Postmaster General Burle-
son had ordered the wire returned to
their owners late yesterday evening,
President Koenkamp authorized a
strike throughout the southeastern

Il am informed that 100 per cent
of the men are out at New Orleans.
Highly satisfactory word comes from
the entire southeastern section. The
men employed by the Postal Tele-

1t will be impossible to hold them
much longer" President Koenkamp
said
The electrical workers have set
June l6 as the date on which they
win leave their posts. 1t is regard

That present indications point to
sufficient amount of labor during the
harvest period in Grady county and
Southwestern Oklahoma, was the
statement made this morning by
Chas e, Day, in charge of the local
office of the Federal-State employ
ment service
Work to Be Plentiful
Although Grady county and south
western Oklahoma probably will not
suffer shortage of help during har-
vest Mr.. Day says, work viii be
plentiful There is a slight probaDil-
ity, he Declares of their being q
shortage and insufficient amount OF
labor in the extreme southwestern
portions Of the state where farmers
are depending on the local federal
state employment agency here to
supply a large part of their harvest
hands. Prospects are that the com
ing harvest viii be one Of the most
successful in years, inasmuch as la
Dor and help is concerned
Action Next Week.
According to Mr. Day, the harvest
army goes into the field of golden
grain next week vii continue the
campaign for three, possibly four
weeks
Harvest in Tillman county is now
well under way. and cal for 81
more hands was received this morn
ing by Mr. Day These will lbe sup
piled to the Tillman farmers by to-
morrow afternoon, Mr. Day says.
In Grady and the remaining couu.
ties Of southwestern Oklahoma, in

Washita and Beckham, harvest will
son, Caddo, Jackson, Greer, Harmon,
be well under way by Thursday of
next week Hundreds Of laborers
will be supplied the wheat grower
next week by the local mploymnt
office is the prediction of Mr.. Day.
Laborers Arriving Daily.
Laborers from the non. whoat belts
and many young men who have been
atteding college during the winter
and fall and who desire to work in
the fields during the summer, are ar
riving in Chickasha where work is
plentiful now, while others remain
here awaiting the opening of harvest
in Grady county next week Twenty.
four applicants for employment in the
harvest were received yesterday by
Mr.. Day These were mostly labor
ers from the non-wheat growing belts
who had come to Oklahoma to help
reap the wheat crop
One Possible Detriment
Only one possible detriment to the
wheat harvest can be seen at the
present time, assrtad Mr. Day this
morning That is the possibility Of
Kansas opening her harvest before
the Oklahoma reapers reach their OBJ
jectives. 1t is virtually assured that
Kansas will not launch her harvest
until Oklahoma is entering upon her
final lap and symptoms are that the
Sooner crop will be in shock before
the Jayhawkers enter their field with
their harvest army.
"Al in all" emphasized Mr.. Day.
"the 1919 wheat harvest in south
western Oklahoma will be one Of the
most successful in the history of the
state There will be plenty Of work.
plenty of labor and the biggest gross
yield the state has ever seen."

Important Session Called for City
Hail. To Be in Nature of Gen
eral Mass Meeting for
All Interested.
TO DECIDE WHETHER
CHAMBER CONTINUED
New President in Statement Says
Better Not Have Organization
Unless Business Interests
Cooperate.

Alger Melton, newly elected pres-
dent of the Chickasha Chamber of
Commerce. has called a mass meeting
naming the council chamber at the
city hall as the place and Monday
night at 8 o'clock as the time.
The purpose of the meeting, as out
lined in a statement by Mr.. Melton
yesterday afternoon, is to ascertain
what support the business and profess.
sional men Of the city, as well as the
citizens are going to give to the or
ganization and to perfect plans to
push the interests of the city, in the
event the necessary financial and
moral support of the citizens is forth
coming.
Mr., Melton, in his statement, does
not mince words, but makes 1t plqin
that if Chickasha is to have a Cham
ber Of Commerce, that organization
must have the full support of the
business interests of the city. He
states that otherwise, 1t would be
better to disband the organization at
once
These matters will be taken up at
the meeting Monday night and it is
urged that every business and pro
fessional man in the city, as well as
the citizens and property owners, be
present promptly at o'clock This
is desired, it is pointed out, so that
the citizenship may have a full rep
resentation at the meeting which,
withal, is to determine whether
'Chickasha is to have a Chamber of
Commerce that does things for the
town or whether Chckasha has no
commercial organization.
Mr. Melton's statement follows:
81 urge every member, every bust
ness man and every citizen interested
in the organization to be present. A
commrcial organization can accom-.
plish nothing without the co-opera-
tion and support of the commercial
and property interests of the com
munity Cooperation and support
means a willingness to work at the
things to be done and providing the
money to pay expenses necessary to
maintain the organization on a bust
ness basis If the organization can't
be maintained on this basis it would
be better to disband and quit
Il didn't seek the position as pres.
ident. l was chosen at time when

willing, however, to give some time
and some work to the organization if
the members and citizens stand ready
to work and help and pay the nee
essary expenses. | would like to have
clear understanding about these
matters before any plan of work or
program is outlined and | would like
for every one interested to be pres
ent at the meeting so that we may
understand just what is to be under.
taken and just what we will have to
work with
CAS- for myself, shall not under
take to do any work or make any
definite plans until there is full un-
derstanding about these matters, and
this is the main purpose of the meet
ing Monday night. Let's get together
and see what we want and whether
there is any way to get it. I'll have
something to say at the meeting Mon
day night"

That's the slogan under which the

United States will wage campaign
and next week for associate mem
bers and to boost the boy scout
movement in the United States.
In Chickasha, plans are nearing

of tn proposition. It is probable that
soliciting committees will be named
and a general campaign made.
To Help Scouts.
q The plicu is dollar mead, which
dollar pays you dues for year as
an associate of the boy scout. This
money raised in the city of Chick
asha will lbe strictly for home con
sumption That is, the local council
is not entering into the proposition
with the national council insofar as
any part of the money collected is
concerned. All the money collected
for memberships here will be used
for the promotion of local boy scout
work, according to Rev. VIM. Den
ham, local scout commissioner, who
is at the head of the drive in this
city.
It is pointed out that the drive is
two-fold. First, there is the dollar
that each membership costs, and
which goes to help the promotion
of scout work. Second there is the
association and the added interest
in scout work that is stimulated in
everyone who invests dollar Ac-
