tive service but il is still true. At
the present time Chickasha is en-
joying a period of exceptional
prosperity and is making growth
Of the most substantial kind. For
months the sound Of the carpen-
ter hammer has been heard all
over town, building operations
being in progress in both the bus
mess and residence districts. The
demand for houses is still strong
and hence there is every reason
why construction work should
continue. Chickasha is the logic
al place of residence for The large
number of people who are being
attracted to this section Of the
state by the Developments in
nearby oil fields and :here is no
doubt that our population will
show a marked increase if the
housing shortage can be met.
Building is really a better pro-
gram than booming.

there is only one team III the
Western Association as lar as

"the" team because it is our
team.
There are many bonds OF inter-
cst that unite the people OF Il
community but probably no one
of Them is stronger than common

The dignified business man VINO

vince the loyal ChicRasha fans
that the Chicks are not the real

Of players assembled by Mr. Me-
Gaha is undirlinished bv Tempo
rary reverses. All eur real fans
know that it is only q question:
Of time till the Chicks will be sit
ting there near the head OF the

poL1TENEss AND PEOPLES

Politeness is forgetfulness OF
self in consideration for Others
Yet the most polite persons ar
not always the least selfish. Thl
French, for instance, are the most
polite people in the world; T. J,
instructive with them, says tn
Bartlesville Examiner.
A dispatch the other day told
of the collapse of Deputy Paul
Chassaigne-Goyon in the cham
Der of deputies. He fell in a faim
in the speakers tribune during
an impassioned address. Regain
ing consciousness and still lying
on top of the speakers desk,
where they had laid him, he turn
ed toward the assembly and said,
"Please accept my sincerest ex-
cuses."
A small thing to be cabled
across the Atlantic and printed IN
an American newspaper. Yes,
bnt how Enthusiastically French
and therefore how interesting !
Yet nobody would say the French
are unselfish. Politeness, there
fore, while instructive with shem,
must be some quality apart from
other dominating characteristics.
An Englishman or an American
in the same circumstances would |
feel quite remorseful at having
been forced to inject his personal
into a moment of such
Importance, but he would not
apologize for it. Rather he would
expect and accept, quite perfume
orily, the sympathy of his col
eagues. Only to himself would
le admit a weakness, and to him.
elf he would probably administer
a secret a severe mental kicking.

SUGAR FROM TREE AND FIELD
Years Ago People Got Sweetenns
Material from the Maple and the


AS long ago as 1891 DR.. Ben
jamin Rush put before the
Philosophical society of Philadel-
phia an earnest proposal to use
maple sugar, pointing out that
for a great number of years many
hundred private families in New
York and Pennsylvania have sup
piled themselves plentifully with this
sugar during the whole year."
The year before that the United
States had bought over 1850 900
pounds Of brown sugar, and more
than 100000 pounds of other varie-
ties from the West Indies. Seven
years after Doctor Rush made his
appeal the brown sugar importation
amounted to nearly $4,000 OO
pounds. and the loaf sugar exceeded
2O,500,000 pounds. AT that time
somebody in Philadelphia succeeded
in obtaining sugar from waterme
ons, getting half a pint of strip bv
gradually boiling the strained PUN
and junce of a melon that weighed
IA pounds. This led J. 3. Bordley
an agricultural writer, to COMPUTE
IN book published in 1901 that IN
acre of watermelons would yield slt3
worth of strip.
