FRUIT CROPS IN
GRADY TO PROVE
SHY IS OPINION
County Agent Bases Statement On
Number of Blossoms On Trees;
One Freeze Would Ruin Pros
poets for Any Yield.

Based upon the number of bios
SONS on the fruit trees that are now
in full bloom, which number in
cludes peach, plum and apricot it is
predicted that the yield of fruit in
Grady county will be far below that
of 1919, j. w. Owens, Grady county
farm agent, stated today
Although the fruit in the county at
this time, with the one exception of
blue plums, of which there are but
few, is considered "safe,' it is ex-
planned that one freeze would prove
almost wholly disastrous to the
whole crop, grapes excepted
Elbertas Blooming sparngly.
Only a few blooms, comparatively,
over the county in general, are found
on the Elberta peach trees and in di-
rect contrast with the very large
yield last year indications point to
a very small crop of that variety of
peach for this year. "When we have
a very large yield of Elbertas one
year, we may reasonably expect a
very marked decrease in the produe-
ton the following year. The reason
for this has never been satisfactorily
explained, but some advance the the
ory that the trees just naturally
have to 'recuperate after every yield
above normal and during the period
of recuperation the production is
well below normal" Mr.. Owens ex-
planned. Apples have not yet bloom
ed but it is expected that they, too,
will produce less than last year.
It is pointed out that the work of
spraying fruit trees against insects
and disease is being carried on by
fruit growers of Grady county as new
er before.

the only result of an accident which
occurred just east of the city yes
terday afternoon when the plane of

Strickland, they encountered an "air
pocket" The machine settled quick
ly and was soon below the tops Of
a row of trees, just ahead. The pi-
lot. seeing that he could not "zoom"
over the trees, "nosed her down,

gresham Scott Ferris Of Lawton

ested in securing the passage Of re-
lief legislation for the ex-service men

Big Crowd Attends Sermon; Lecture
at Methodist Church Last Night;
Surpassed Only by Sunday
Night Gathering.
SPEAKER TAKES RAP
AT CHURCH MEMBERS
Says They're Too Much Like Out
siders; Makes Strong Appeal for
Model Living; Meeting In Re-
vva Tent Tonight.

Before Evangelist Grimm had fin.
ished his sermon at the Methodist
church last night, he had driven home
the feeling that everyone is his
brothers keeper, the talk being
among the best that the evangelist
has delivered since his meeting start
ed.
His subject was personal Respon-
sibility," and was so filled with
strong phrases and personal appeal
that when he issued the call, more
than 100 hands went up in renuest
for prayer The speaker used Ezek.,
the 33rd chapter
Again as Sunday night the church
was well filled, but not to the extent
of the preceding meeting when every
inch of available space was taken,
including all standing room. In adj
dition to this, Sunday night, hun
dreds were turned away from the
church unable to get inside the build
ing
Mr.. Grimm took a considerable rap
at the average church member in his
sermon, What is the Matter with
the Church or Why has the Curch
Lost its Power" The speaker de-
clared that the answer is the fact
that the church members are too
much like people outside Of the
church.
9They run their business like them
they lie like them, they go to the
theaters like them, they dance like
them, they play cards and gamble
like them, they stay away from the
church like them and the world can't
see where religion has changed their
lives any the speaker said.
He made strong plea for high
standard of Christian living and
"panned" the SISSY" preacher who
is afraid to "stand up in the pulpit
and fight sin
The song service continues to be
a big feature of the meeting. Direc-
tor Clarke is keeping up his record
of special stunts and has them all
singing, even to the little tots, one
of the features of last nights meet
ing being a solo by Agnes Wagner
little daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Wal
ter Wagner.
Miss Sells, who is to take Mrs.
Crimms place at the piano, arrived
in the city today and will have
charge of the instrumental music at
the services tonight.
The tent, located between Fifth
and Sixth streets on Chickasha ave
nue., was blown down by the storm
Saturday night, and being put up
again today and the meeting will be
held there tonight

MADAME HAMMER
SCORES SUCCESS
IN FAMOUS PLAY
Norwegian Actress Supported by .
Splendid Company Pleases Big
Crowd In lbsen's "DoII House"
In College Auditorium.

Before a comparatively large audi
ence Madame Borgny Hammer and
her company played Ibsen's popular
play, "A Dolls House." with natural
perfection in the auditorium of the
Oklahoma College for Women last
night.
Like most of Ibsen's productions,
the play lacked a strong plot and
was wanting in action but an intense
interest was created and maintained
by the excellent ability of the play
ers to bring out the many truths
with which the drama was filled.
"a Dolls House" deals with the
crime of a woman made as a sacri-
flee for husband and the blind fury
of the man when he discovers her
act. Madame Hammer as Nora, the
wife of a banker, first appears as a
frivolous woman who has been petted
and pampered and treated more or
less as doll by both her father and
her husband Although Nora appa-
rently is very happy during her mar
ried life and loves her husband with
a supreme passion, and although her
husband seems to return the love,
it develops after eight years of
married life that the husband and
wife in reality have no love for each
other and that what seemed to be
happiness was nothing more than
merriment. The climax is then
reached when Nora leaves her mus
band and the three children who
have been born to her and goes to
her old home to find herself
Madame Hammer spoke our Ian
guage fluently, clearly, with distinc-
tion, and always with only trace
of the accent of the foreigner Her
acting showed many evidences of
long and thorough training and she
wasted no effort; she did thorough
ly we'll whatever she aimed to do.
Her resources seemed to be more
ample than her needs and she con
tinually refrained from attempting
to adorn her impersonation.
Although unable to speak the Eng
lish as clearly and distinctly as
Madame Hammer, Rolf Hammer, who
played as Torvald Hemar, the bank
er, evinced rare genius that was COM
parable to that of his wife. His act
ing represents the highest attain
ment of European training.
Every member of Madame Borgny
Hammers company was a thorough
ly experienced, versatile and success
cussful actor or actress. Even the
actress who played the part of the
maid, Mae Anderson, was real per-
sonage of the stage

ern association.
f. r. McGaha, franchise owner,
stated some time ago that he and
Pettigrew had come to terms and
that the only thing standing in the
way of "a contract was Pettigrew's
release. Now that Ned has that re.
lease tucked away in the safety de-
posit box with the Liberty Bonds
and what not, it's a certainty that
he will lead the Chickasha clan on
the field of battle, unless something
bobs up at the very last moment.
Pettigrew has been beating the tim

cult in quest of material and has
turned in several contracts. He is
expected back in town today.

About IA dozen of these will give the
occupants real "close up" of the
proceedings on the diamond.
The dog houses which will house
the two clubs during the progress of

nate are being completed. These
will be sunk in the ground about
three feet so that the roofs will not
hamper the gaze of the frenzied
fans. The home club will occupy

Of the new wall is complete. At a
glance it apepars that the center
field fence is too close, that about
anything that would go for a hit in
the center garden would be over the
wall, but the tape shows that it's
about 335 feet from home plate to
the center field wall and any ball
player will tell you that when a bird
slaps one over it, he is entitled to
homer 1t is about the same dis
tance to center field fence as to
right field. The fact that in all the
scores of games played at University
park only four balls have been hit
over the right field fence in fair ter
ritory is evidence that it's back there
a sufficient distance.
