MAY TALK
BIG BILL
TO DEATH
By United Press.

By United Press
Washington, Jan 24.-A movement
to talk the $1OO,OOO,OOO famine bill
to death developed today in the SEN
ate.
Warned of the intention of hostile
senator's to 9itbuster, Ike admins
tration leaders we're frankly unde-
cided whether to adopt rushing" tao
tics in an effort to get the bill
through today or to let the opposi-
tion take its course.
This indecision arose from the fact
that clear majority of the senate
is doubtful concerning the wisdom
of the measure, wherefore the admin
istration leaders seemed a little
doubtful as to whether it would be
advisable to attempt to crash down
opposition and put the bill over.

Huns Plan Campaign.

By United Press.
PARIS, Jan. PA warning was
issued by American officials today
that Germany is planning big
commercial campaign, particularly
in the United States and France.
They point out that Germany has
always been keen commercially and
for the last quarter Of a century
she has devoted half her energy to
commerce and the other half to
building up her war machine.
Now that the machine has been
eliminated, the industrial organiza-
tions can direct vastly more energy
to trade.

Standardization Of the cotton crop
in Chickasha's trade territory is vir-
tually assured as a result Of the con
ference between bankers, business
men, farmers and grain dealers, held
in the Chamber OF Commerce head
quartrs yesterday afternoon.
To this end, Alger Melton presid-
ing, appointed a committee compos-
ed of representatives to be named
by the five local banks, Ed Bitsche,
seed dealer, and J. w. Owens, coun-
ty agent, to arrange plans for the
procuring and distribution Of a high
grade uniform seed
NJ. F. Courtney chairman, has
called a meeting Of the committee
for tomorrow afternoon at o'clock
in the Chamber of Commerce rooms,
First National bank building. At
this meeting, Chairman Courtney
says, plans for the procuring and
distribution of the seed will be made.
It has been proposed by Mr.
Bitsche, that the banks Of the city
lend him financial aid and he will
purchase the seed and distribute
same among the farmers. When the
seed are secured, the Chamber of
Commerce, in conjunction with the
county agent, the bankers and all
business men, will float an extensive
educational campaign in an attempt
to educate the farmer to the value
of Standardization Of the cotton crop.
Mr.. Bitsche's proposal will probably
be accepted, is the belief of many.
Mr. Slaton, of the Chickasha Cot

ing and gave assurance that if it

ard and uniform seed for the farmers
in Chickasha's trade territory, that

place their seed on the market in

HOW ABOUT
FAIR SAYS
YBARCER
Free Fair President Asks What
Commercial Chickasha In
tends Doing in Regard
to Fair Buildings.

what / would like to know is
what support the commercial men
Of Chickasha viii give to permanent
quarters for a Grady county fair?"
This was the question put today
by Dave Hybarger president of the
Grady County Free Fair association
in speaking of the outlook for fair
in the fal lof 1919 and the advisa-
bility ia concerted effort to make
a permanent home for the fair.
"The time is ripe to make start
lin this direction" Mr. Hybarger
cntinued. 81 believe that the best
move that could be made in Chick
asha at this time is to locate perma-
nently fair grounds here.
THE merchant has his shown win
dow to display his goods. That dis
play is worth a lot to him. A mer
chant who had no place to show
the people the Gloss of goods that
he handled would not get far in the
selling game. His competitors, with
ample show windows would quickly
land all the busines loose. It is the
same in principle that applies to a
county fair That fair is the show
window of the county. TO that fari
the farmers and stockmen bring
their products to display.
"Now a merchant does not use
make-shift structure for a show
window. He makes it a permanent
thing and beautifies it. He puts the
best material he can find into the
construction of that window IT,
then, we are to have a county fair
to show the products OF this coun-
ty, why not make a show window
that looks like something and is
something?
Grady county can have fair
That is not the point Last year
demonstrated that Grady need not
worry about products to make a
mighty good agricultural exhibit
Last season was one of the worst
if not the worst that the country
ever weathered, yet the fair that
was staged was a good one. At this
time, Grady goes into the new year
with the best prospects for crop
in years There is the best season
in the ground that we have had in
many years. The wheat at this time
looks fine, planting conditions pro-
mise to be far above par and 1 pre-
dict that next year will produce
bumper crop in everything.
"a home for a county fair can't
be constructed over night. 1t must
be planned and method of build
in git and providing for its main
tenance. Therefore l repeat that
this is the time to start work on
planning a permanent home for that
county fair, if indeed the CONNER
cial people Of Chickasha are going
to support it."
I'VE are already getting inquiries
from amusement people who want
to show at our fair next fall. One
communication is from a company
that proposes to bring a 100000
amusement outfit here.
"The war is over and there is no
reason why we should not get busy
This is going to be a year of jubi-
lee"

Miss Theda Bara will be seen at the
Star theatre next Thursday, June 10,
in the William Fox photodrama,
THE SOUL OF BUDDHA," a
stirring and fascinating story of the
mysteries of those who worship the
God Buddha in the Far East Islands
of Java. The author Of this photo,
play is no less parsonage than the
famous actress herself.
1t may surprise the millions Of ad,
mirers of this famous portrayer of
siren roles that in addition to being
the foremost screen actress of the
silent drama today, she has literary
style which compares favorably with
some of the best writer's of classics.
None of her real intimate efforts have
been published, but have been distri-
buted among her intimate friends.
