approximately $4,000 acres Of alfal
ia hay in Grady county is now ready
for its first cutting, according TO j.
W. Owens. county agricultural agent
Many of the farmers are now har-
vesting the first cutting of their al
falfa crop, Mr.. Owens says. Speaking
of the condition of this crop in Ora
dy county Mr.. Owens says:
"To the best of my knowledge
Grady county has never produced a
better crop of alfalfa The fields are
in excellent condition, the hay was
never more abundant; I believe the
$4,000 acres in Grady county will pro
duce 10000 tons of hay. The probable
price will be 500 a ton, which will
net the farmer a large profit.
MANY of the Grady county farm
ers will reap a good years income off
their alfalfa crop alone, and with 9th
er crops coming on, predict flour
ishing year for the Grady county
farmer"

HYBARCER
IS STRONG
FOR BONDS

Certainly, | am going to vote for
the $250,00O bond issue for a Grady
county courthouse" said d. c. Hy-
barger, who lives east Of Chickasha.
Mr.. Hybarger is president OF the
Grady County Free Fair association,
in addition to being one of Grady's
most progressive farmers.
Continuing, Mr. Hybarger said, 81
am going to vote for the courthouse
bonds because | would not stand in
the way of the upbuilding of this
county If l voted against the bond
issue l would be placing just that
much in the way of progress.
Another reason that l am going
to vote for the courthouse bonds is
that don't think we will miss the
money in taxes. | don't believe it
will make a difference that is no
ticeable.
Reason No. is that we need a
courthouse. We haven't any, that's
a cinch. Now from my place, can't
bring man into Chickasha without
crossing the viaduct. If he is a
stranger he asks me what that build
ing on Choctaw avenue is. If | don't
tell him, he asks me again. take
him around and show him the fed
eral building and the churches. They
are all right, but when he asks me
Where is your courthouse?' honest,
am ashamed to show it to him.
Some of those against the propo-
sition say that it is too much. They
say that $250,OOO is more money than
is needed / say that it's not too
much Grady county is the best
in the state and is entitled to
the best courthouse or anything
else"

ADDED LEVY DOES NOT
MEAN INCREASED TAXES

In a statement issued this morn
ing to the citizens of Chickasha
school district, the Chickasha school
board stressed the point that be-
cause the people are asked to vote
an additional levy of four mills at
the election tomorrow, it does not
follow that the taxes will necessar-
lily be increased. The board states
that for safety only the additional
four mills are asked. The statement
follows:
"Supplementing the statement
made by Superintendent OF Schools
in the Express of yesterday, we
beg to remind the patrons and citi-
zens of the Chickasha school dis
trict that the election for additional
levy to be held tomorrow does not
mean or imply that there win be
greater taxes than in former years
for school purposes.

voted an additional levy of taxes of
three mills but the board used only
one and three-fourths mills. The
exact levy can not be determined
until after the assessment rolls are
completed. For this reason in or
der to be safe it is necessary to ask
for an additional levy of four mills,
although when the assessment rolls
are completed it is not likely that
this amount will be required.
"Tle voters. patrons and tax pay
ers OF he district will be assured
that only such amount will be used

MAY HAVE
BIG SHOW
JULY 4TH
Merchants are Now Considering
Plans; Definite Plans to Be
Made This Week by
Committee.

Whether there will or will not be
a Fourth Of July celebration in
Chickasha was the principal discus
sion at the meeting of the Chick
asha Retail Merchants association
held last night. The opinion was
reached that with the support of the
business men of the city, said cele-
bration can be staged and made a
big success.
b. C. Garvey, Ohn Brashear and
T. J. Brown were named as a COM
mittee to probe the proposition and
determine whether or not the cele-
bration can be arranged. This com
mittee met this morning in the Of
flee of the Chamber of Commerce
and after going over the PROPOSE
ton, decided to defer final action
until more thorough investigation
of the affair was made. The COM
mittee is scheduled to meet again
Friday morning at which the final
arrangements will be made for the
show, or it will be shuffled into the
discard.
Sentiment seems to be favorable
to the proposition as many of the
merchants present last night ex-
pressed themselves as unqualifiedly
for" the celebration.
Plans that are still in the MAX
ing, but which have been roughly
outlined, call for two-day affair
with all the trimmings that go with
a regular celebration and including
many stunts not listed on the time
honored stunts staged in the misty
past.
The affair, as proposed would be
combination July 4th celebration
and a sort of "home coming" for
the men who fought the Hun and
those who were in uniform on this
side, ready to go over and take a
crack at the Boche.

If Grady county keeps up the pace
that has marked the progress for
the past three days in the Victory

of May will have come and gone be-
fore the entire quota OF the county
is raised This Is shown by the fig

reached their respective quotas.

cording to the reports received. The

quota. Grady county people have
always come to the front with their
end of any proposition that has had
to do with the promoti noof the war.

"Your new schedule of rates in
creasing telephone charges from 80

years of war and the burdens that
