the post was named "Chickasha Post.
Application for membership in Ameri-
can Legion will be filed with the

mander Emanuel stated after the
meeting last night.
In the naming of the post, it was
suggested that the unit be named
after one or two of the Grady county
boys who made the supreme sacri-
flee in the great conflict. This was
protested by several who contended
that in naming the post after a fall
en- hero, it would be necessary to
show partiality.
Another suggestion was that the
post be named in honor Of the first
Grady county lad to die in the strug-
gle Objections was offered to this
the opposers declaring that the first
Grady county soldier to fall should
receive no more honor than the ones
who died defending their country at
later date. The name of Chicka-
sha Post was finally agreed upon,

You can fry chickens and large steaks
cook vegetables, bake bread, pies and
cakes to perfection, all by heating the
radiators for 20 minutes, and in the
same length of time that it takes to cook
them on the regular stove. The Duplex
cuts your gas bill to about half, and
you can put your dinner on and your
hat at the same time, and your dinner
is ready when you come home from town
There is no danger of burning If you
