been cast at II O'Clock.
Many women in Chickasha who
did not vote on the road bond prop
osition were planning to go to the
polls today Work started early in
the city and yes" cars were busy
rounding up voters. The heavy vote
in Chickasha was expected to be
polled in the afternoon, if indeed a
heavy vote could be rounded up.
Those favorable to the courthouse
proposition were urging the sup
porters to get out and vote, point
ing out that those against the
measure would wade through fire"
to get to vote against it, while the
Eyes" faction would be inclined to
'let it go at that"
There was nothing to indicate
how the vote would go in Chickasha
early today Supporters of the prop
osition, however, were claiming that
Chickasha would go for the court.

MOVEMENT AFOOT TO GET
LOCAL ARMORIES FOR ALL
NATIONAL GUARD UNITS

Oklahoma City, June 25.-The move
ment to provide an armory for every
town in the United States In which a
national guard Is located, the expense
of which is to be appropriated by the
federal government, is meeting APPROX
al by those interested in the welfare
of the citizenry soldiery. The sugges'
ton was made by Clarence b. Douglas,
secretary of the Tulsa Chamber oil
Commerce and referred to Congress
man Z. b. Howard.
Mr.. Douglas is confident that the
United efforts Of the Oklahoma delega-
ton on congress supported by appeals
from the citizens generally will secure
a fund of two to three million dollars
for armories in Oklahoma. Cities
which are to be regimental headquar-
ters are expected to secure buildings
costing up to a million dollars, while
those towns with one or two compan-
les would be cared for by allotments
of about 5000, 900. The promoters of the
movement are urging the construction
of these buildings not only as homes
for the militia companies but as monu-
ments to the service rendered by the
soldiers to a grateful country.

Preparing Estimates.

All county officials are busy making
estimates for the amounts which may be
required to run the affairs of the sew.
eral county departments for the en-.
suing fiscal year.
These estimates will be submitted to
the excise board when that body meets
the last Saturday in this month, June
2Sth.
Owing to the fact that the last
legislature, in view of the advanced
cost of living, advanced the salaries
of the deputies in some of the depart
ments, the estimates will be higher than
those made last year.
There is one thing that must be said
to the lasting credit of all excise boards
of Carter county, according to a state
ment authorized by one of the county
officers, the members have always as
sumed that the different officers knew
better than did anyone else, just how
much money would be required to con-
duct the affairs of the office for the
year.
