CARE FOR WHEAT
CROPS IN GRADY
SEEN AT MEETING

That the abundance OF wheat raised
in this section Of the state will be
handled successfully and that growers
who so desire can find Immediately a
market for their grain, was the state
ment made yesterday by J. w.
owens, county farm agent, after his
return, from El Reno, where he at
tended a meeting Of millers and ele-
vator men OF this section of okla
homa
Plans for the handling of the grain
we're discussed at the meeting, Agent
Owens said. 1t was decided that the
dealers would ship the grain to the
the Galveston market. 1t was
the concensus of opinion at the
meeting, said Mr.. Owens, that there
would be no trouble in taking care OF
the grain, despite the extra large
yield from the increased acreage
Practically every miller or grain
dealer in Grady county was present,
according to Mr.. Owens. Included in
the Grady county delegation were Mr.
Owens, Myron Humphrey, of the
Chickasha Milling company, Mr..
Moore of the Moore Grain company;

II the Willard Dempsey fict. were
stared in Chickasha, what would be
the result locally?
That's the question that was trou-
bling gang Of followers of the fight
dope at a tanning bee recently and
their conclusions arrived at after
much wordy speculation is about as
follows,
First, j. R. Nugent, Rock Island
and Santa Fe agent and c. o. Finch,
leo agent would be turning mental
handsprings two weeks before the
ght and two after, trying to take
care Of the traffic, incoming and out
going. All the yard space and tracks
of the three railroads would be lined
every minute of the day and night
w,ih special trains bringing the
ut fans from every quarter Of the
globe. There would be a string OF
specials coming into the city on every
main line and branch road for days
before the fight and traffic would be
absolutely choLed.
Every available room in Chicka-
sha's hotels would long since have
Leen leased and the cash accompany
ing the order for reservations would
lie resting, at this time, in local
tanks. The advance guard of several
thousand people would already be in
Chickasha Hot dog, lunch, cold drink
and other stands of that variety
would already be doing a thriving
business waiting on those who eX-
pected to make money out of the
fight through merchandising to the
thousands of mere spectators. A
crew of carpenters that would equal
the population of a fair sized village
would have been busy here for weeks
in the constructing of the arena.
With hotels and rooming houses
full, the overflow would nightly be
prowlng up and down the streets in
Every vacant building would have
its full quota Of cots set side by side
at from a dollar to a five spot a
throw Some enterprising person
would have rented the knitting mill
and filled it with cots for sleeping
quarters. Likewise the cigar vender
factory.
Chief Linns modest police force
would have grown to the proportions
Of the American standing army and
would have plenty to occupy the time
of every copper while Desk Sergeant
Dayton would be having plans drawn
for a bastile of huge dimensions to
house the flock of law violators.
Likewise, Sheriff Sankey's force
would have grown and it would be
necessary to cut stars out of tomato
can tops to supply the long and ever
growing list of deputies.
The streets would be jammed. A
circus day crowd or a sale day gath
ering would be insignificant by COM
parison. Instead of $4,000, Chicka-
sha's population would jump to 75,-
600 or better. There would be mil
lions of dollars in circulation. Gro
Gerry stores, clothing establishments,
1ewelry stores, druggists confection-
ers an don down the list of the rou-
tine bushes establishment would in
crease their crews of clerks ten fold
and they would be unable to wait on
half the trade. There would be
thousand fly-by-nights" eating houses
where a "ham-an' would cost you
dollar and a cup of coffe a two
bit piece
A 25 by $50 foot vacant lot would
rent for 500 a day and thousands 9.
