STORY WORK OF
CHEAP FAKIR
Newspapers Victimized BY
Boston "AlmOn" Who
Sought a Few Dollars

A cheap fakir by TIE name of cal
mon" who does business through a
postoffice address in Boston and who
/ is undoubtedly some hanger-on
around the waste baskets of some
Boston newspaper Offices has made
Smith College, Governor Coolidge,
/ the Caledonian- Record, and Miss
Madeline j. Cary of St. Johnsbury, a
student at Smith College, the medi-
ums of scheme to grab off few
dollars from this newspaper. The
"catch-penny" hangers-on of city
newspaper Offices who, by their lying
and taking put themselves outside the
pale of the newspaper profession, are
scourge 10 honest newspapers. That
our readers may understand how we
were victimized in this matter we
give an accounting of the facts.
On Feb. I'd we received the follow
ing inquiry from Boston by Western
Union:

,Johnsbuly girl, startles staid town.

As we did not know almon we ask
ed the Western Union for further
address. They gave The address AL
mon Hayward News Co., Boston,
MASS, and we ordered the story. The
story was published on Feb. 2 and
another story two days later from the
same source. The fact that the mat
ter bore evidence of being propa-
ganda to aid the S4,0000G0 Smith col
lege drive caused The Caledonian-
Record to give the stories special
prominence as we believed the facts
to be correct and Offering a medium
to aid so great and worthy an educa-
tional institution as Smith College.
Great was our surprise few days
later when Mrs. George Cary came
into our Office with a letter from her
daughter, Miss Madeline, which stat
ed that the stories were "a pack of
lies" that she had never taken part
in any of the alleged stunts and
that there was great Indignation in
the college where over 100 girls had
been made the "heroines" of the
same or similar stories in over 100
different cities throughout the coun-
try. She said the college authorities
were investigating the matter.

School Trustees Say Larger
Increase Not Possible
Within Appropriations

After careful consideration of the
question from all sides, the board Of
trustees of the Newport city schools
have offcred the city teachers a bon
US CT 500 in response to the petition
presented some time ago to the trus-
tees by all the teachers of the city.
The trustees recognize the right of
the teachers to ask for an increase
and are thoroughly in sympathy with
the movement throughout the state
to raise the salaries of the teaching
force, but feel that the 500 offered
is all that could be granted and keep
within last years appropriation.

MERIDIAN ROAD
INSPECTION Be
IN ORDER SOON
President of Highway Association
Due Here Thursday Night;
To View Two Proposed
Routes to Texas

According to communications in
the hands Of Chamber of Commerce
officials, John G, Nicholson of New.
ton, Kans, president of the Meridian
Highway association, with a party of
nine will arrive in Chickasha Thurs
day evening, November IL for the
purpose OF inspecting two routes OF
the Meridian highway south from

The plan OF Mr. Nicholson is to
leave Chickasha on the morning of
November 10 and go to Anadarko,
thence to Lawton thence to Wichita
Falls thence to Bowie and back
north to Chickasha via Waurika,
Duncan NARROW and Rush Springs.
The point to be determined by this
inspection, 1t is believed here, is
the definite marking of the Meridian
highway to points south. That is.
whether the road should be marked
SOutn from Chlckasha via Duncan
NARROW, Waurika and Bowie, or via
Anadarko, Lawton, Wichita Falls It
is pointed out that should the latter
route be selected the chances are
that the road would be marked from
Bridgeport t9 Anadarko, leaving
Chickasha, Marlow, Duncan, Wan
rika and Bowie off the route.
The Chamber of Commerce,
through its secretary, j. w. Conner,
has written to the towns mentioned,
outlining the program as set out in
Mr.. Nicholsons letters and asking
that arrangements be made to take
care of the party on the tour. Favor
able replies have been received from
Anadarko, Lawton, Waurika and
/ Bowie
No special effort for a public mee.,
ing has been made here, bat the gooc
readers are planning to have a dele
cation meet the Nicholson party ant

The socialist fighters are crudely

While the socialists are engaged

Strike Deemed Serious.
The Yucatan fighting began in
sporadic clashes, small mobs being
at first engaged in brawls and riots.
The latest fighting between the
socialists and so-called liberals oc-
Cured at Maxcabu, 3S miles south Of
Merida where II men were killed.
Government officials admitted today

Says Agent

Poultry raisers of Grady county
save $350,000 annually by culling
useless fowls from their flocks, ac-
cording to figures just compiled by
Mrs. Nettie r. Coryell, county home

of poultry club work in Crazy
county.
Now is the time to Gull and hens
that first ceased to lay are the ones
that should be removed from the

Mrs. Coryell estimates that about
100000 hens are being maintained
in Grady county and that about one
third of the average flock could be
removed without decreasing the egg

Produce men say that the value
of poultry and eggs marketed an
nually in Grady county amounts 10
more than all the livestock and
wheat sold in the county The
amount of poultry and poultry pro
