Little Cash Paid.

Thus far in the last half Of the
fiscal year, which period started
July /, members of the Chickasha
Chamber of Commerce, and Chicka
sha citizens in general, have not sup
ported the organization financially
according to statement issued by
Alger Melton. president of the cham.
Der to VIM. H. Donahue.
This statement shows that out of
a budget Of about $3,5O0 for the last
six months of the year, approx
mately $3.50 represents the total
that has been paid into the treasure.
of the organization. Mr. Melton
statement points out that out of a
list of monthly subscribers. about

month, Out of the list of annual
subscribers, the statement adds
about Is percent have paid and out
of list of 100 indiytduals and firms
of Chickasha, three have paid mon
ey to the treasurer. All the indi.
viduals and firms on the three. lists
represented, have received letters
outlining the purpose of the chamber
of commrce and asking that finan-
cial support be given.
Donahue Makes Statement.
81 don't know how the rest of the
business men in Chickasha feel
about it, but it is my idea that if we
are to have chamber of commerce
to boost for the interests Of Chick
asha, we must support it financi-
ally" said Mr., Donahue.
"There is no use in dragging
along about it. Chickasha needs an
organization of the business and
propert yinterests to further and pro-
mote the things that will benefit the
town generally. There is no ques-
ton about that. The only question
now. is whether the business men
and those interested in property
here want to support such an organ
ization with their money.
If we are going to have Cham
ber of Commerce, let's give it suffi-
cient cash on which to operate A
business man wouldn't think of run
ming his business without an appro-
priation. If he didn't supply the ap-
preparation, the business would have
to close up.

wards. Aside from the above, some OF
the leading live stock breeders in
the county served notice last year
that they would not show this year
on account OF lack OF acoommoda-
tons The class of stock we have
in Grady county is as good as any in
the state, and we cannot ex-
pect farmers to bring stock in to
suffer. Some exhibitors have even
claimed that they have not yet re.
ceived their premiums for last year.
Grady county is an agricultural
county Chlckasha depends almost
wholly ON the success Of the farmers
of the county for its prosperity We
are stepping back 25 years by Civ
ing up the county fair and county
agent.
The county fair is to the farmers
what the up-to-date show window Is
to the merchant. Not only that 1t
brings the farmers and city and
town men together more closely, it
encourages the raising OF better live
stock and also crops, on account Of
creating a friendly rivalry for the
ribbons.
"Chickasha and Grady county will
lose thousands of dollars worth of
advertising both here and at the
state fair on account Of the lack Of
free fair and the county exhibit at
the state fair.
The directors were to meet and
sign the estimate for the expenses
of the fair. They failed to meet and
no one has the time or money to go
out in a car. and round them up to
get their signatures. We want to
make it clear to the public that as
far as we know we understand that
the excise board favors free fair
and would have o. KID the estimate
as in the past"

Baptist Minister Pictures Two
Routes Open to Mankind;
One Broad and Easy;
One Very Difficult.
ONE WAY LEADS TO
CHRIST; ONE TO HE'LL
Believes in Money if Possessor Is
Bigger Than Wealth; Have
a Good Time But Be De-
cent Says Preacher.

Last night at the First Baptist
church, Rev. Sam D. Taylor pictured
the Two Ways, ODE leading to
Christ and the other to hell, and ex-
planned the different methods and re.
suits Of entering upon these ways
and negotiating them.
His text was taken from Matthew
f:1S and Luke 1924 and the min
lister spoke in part as follows:
"Our subject for this sermon is
"The Two Gates, Two Ways and
Two Destinies." The text naturally
breaks itself up into these three d
visions. In this scripture we have
the picture of man who has come
to the years of accountability and
must answer to God for himself,
standing face-to-face with two gates
through which he tust enters into
life. One gate is wide and wide
open and no effoit is required to en-
ter into it. The other is narrow
and in order to enter into it Jesus
says one has to put forth an ef
fort; more than that he must strive
This is stfong word in the original
and means to agonize.
These two gates represent the
gchciee sor rejection OF Jesus Christ
as ones Savior And redeemer. Every
man, woman and child here tonight
who has come to the years of ac-
countability have stood before these
two gates and have been compelled
to choose between them. PLATE
stood there and the easiest way out
of 1t was to wash his hands and
without struggle enter in at the
wide gate. 1t took agonizing for
Paul to enter the straight and mar.
row way. A spiritual operation had
to take place before he could get
in. His sins had to be separated
from him, his mind must be re
newed. his faith had to be wrecked
in the old system and built up in
the new; his whole attitude toward
Christ and his followers had to be
changed.
when You entered was your sins
left behind? Was your faith in your
own ability to save yourself
wrecked? Was it then grounded in
Christ and Him alone? Was your atti-
tude toward the church and Chrlst's
followers changed? Did you quit
the church members
when you came in? Did you turn to
try to save the world from sin when
you entered? When you came in did
you come through prayer and agony?
If not you had better take the meas
ure of the gate through which you
came
Having entered the two gates
the two ways are as distinct as the
gates we're One is broad and spa
cious, easy to get into and hard to
get out of. The other is narrow,
and difficult. But
there are certain inducements for
one to enter either of these ways.
Let us consider the inducements to
follow the broad way first.
"The Master at the entrance of
the broad way stands crying out
these inducements, one is wealth,
gold, silver and precious stones
Many a man has sold out his souls
salvation for the wealth of this
world Was that the appeal that
got you, lost man? No? Well, per
haps it was the sinful pleasures of

CHlCKASHA STREET RAILWAY
ASKS COMMISSION FOR FARE
HIKE; WOODWARD TELLS WHY

Announcing the fact that the
Chickasha Street Railway company
has petitioned the corporation com
mission for an increase of one cent
in the fares, that is, from six cents
to seven cents, Chas F. Woodward.
treasurer Of the company, has issued
a statement from the Boston office
OF the company, outlining the rea-
sons why the increase is asked. The
statement follows:
THE Chickasha Street Railway
company has forwarded to the Cor.
poration Commission a petition for
authority to increase the fare to sew
en- cents, which the management dis
likes to do but is compelled to by
increased expenses. The people may
not desire this increase or the ad-
vance in price of anything which
they buy, but we feel that no one
can object providing they understand
the true situation.
When we received authority to
charge six cents last year we thought
the advance would be sufficient but
increased costs of operation more
than offset the receipts. To illus
trate, take the three months ending
