Cooperate In Get-to- Gether
Gathering Monday Eve.

Preparations for what promises to
be one of the biggest local events
of the year were formally gotten under
way Monday evening when represen-
tatives of some of the Caldwell
churches met to plan a reception for
the teachers Of Caldwell which is to
be held at the high school building
next Monday evening from 7:30 p.
m. until 10 o'clock. Teachers from
not only the public schools of Cald-
we'll but from the College of Idaho
and the Gem State academy are in
vited to this reception which is to
serve as a wedge for closer cooper
alton between teachers and schools,
churches and Caldwell homes.
In the opinion of those who have
charge of the arrangements, thi, il

most every family in Caldwell is Wit

arouse greater interest among those

immense crop of corn. It totals g.

indicated yield of 30.2 bushels per
acre has only been exceeded twice dur.

only fraction of bushel. -
Drought and rust damage reduced
spring wheat prospects. The COM

resolutions and reservations that
are acceptable to two-thirds OF
the senate will make possible the
ratification Of the treaty.
Many domestic issues are be-
fore the nation and they should
be squarely faced on their merits
in the coming presidential cam
paign. To deal with these issues
effectively will require the most
thorough discussion. We may
well wipe from the board the in
ternational issues which have oc-
cupied the attention Of the coun-
try for months and devote our at
tention to setting to order the in
side of orr house. Domestic IS
sues, which are seriously pressing
for solution, furnish the battle
ground Of the presidential elec-
ton and to this end the senate
should get the peace treaty out
of the way.

MAKE A DRIVE FOR A COM
PLETE CENSUS.

The period allotted by the gov
ernment for census taking is fast
slipping past.
Chickasha s interests demand
that the count be made rs near
ly complete as possible.
The total of the figures return
ed by the enumerators will be
published in the newspapers and
will stand in the records for 10
years as the population of Chick
asha.
Unless some special efforts are
made to assist the local enumer-
ators there is grave reason to
fear that many people will be
overlooked.
Our comercial organization and
our citizens generally should get
busy at once, making drive to
the end that a complete count be
recorded whens the task is fin
ished.
There is no time to lose Talk
census. Ask your neighbors, ask
your employees, ask your bosses,
if they have been counted Ask
the man on the street whether he
has been listed by the enumera-
tor.
A righteous roar will go up
from the community if when the
returns are announced it is be-
lieved that Chickasha is not given
a full count. Now is the time to
hedge against that sort Of calam-
ity. BY making q drive now we
can do much toward insuring
correct census and it is highly
important that we bestir ourselves
Immediately.

BUILD MORE HOMES.

In cities and towns, large and
small, throughout the country
there is a demand for more homes.
Chickasha is like other communi-
ties in this respect, the housing
shortage being serious. One of
the surest ways to make a larger
town here is to provide more
homes.
The prices of lumber and labor
have held back building opera
tions but there is little or no hope
that either will be appreciably
lower. Indeed, some excellent au-
thorities express serious doubts
whether there will ever be any
reduction in the cost of lumber,
this being due not only to the in
creasing demand but also to
dwindling supplies of timber.
The town that tackles the
home building problem and makes
progress with it now is going to
get the people. Chickasha needs
more residences. In spite of the
considerable amount of construc-
ton work that has been carried
on during the past year, the de-
mand for houses is apparently un-
diminished 1t is certain that
many more people viii locate here
if homes are provided for them.
At the present time there is no
more effective sort Of town
boosting" than home building.

ship in dealing with the peace
treaty as Senator Owen.
The Oklahoma senator believes
the treaty should be ratified
promptly and in the best form
that the two-thirds Of the senate
can agree upon. lie points out
that there is no real conflict be-
tween the president and Mr.. Bry-
an in regard to the matter al
though much adoo has been made
about the alleged split between
them. The president cannot con
sistently advocate less than he
stood for in the Paris conference.
AS one of the principal authors OF
the treaty he cannot be expected
to announce that he will accept
changes which he believes will
weaken the treaty but this fact
does not necessarily mean that he
will hold out against the treaty
in the form that it is finally rati-
fled.
Nothing is to be gained by max
ing our international policy the
football of partisan politics. To
carry the questions involved in
the treaty into the presidential
campaign will delay the settle
ment of issues which require inn
action in order to stabi-
Iize business conditions. If we
can't have exactly the kind of
league Of nations that the original
treaty proposed, let us have the
next best thing. Interpretative !

I The difference between being eX-

+. W. Judy. general manager of the
Holton Power Co., of FL Centre, W. j.
Briggs. that company's local agent at
CaleXico, Chief Electrician Reed of the
Mexical Water. Light and rover Co,
and Joe Walker, electrician for the
Imperial irrigation district.
started out early Tuesday morning to
explore a section of the lower valley
in Mexico, at the junction of the Col
orado river and its old channel, at
point known as the Chinn ranch.
where they hoped to arrange with the
owners for the installation of a 10000
volt power line, to be used by the
ranch for irrigating purposes.
Finding entrance to the ranch inn
possible via Black Butte or Volcano
Lake the party took the roundabout
course of going via Signal mountain
and I.aguna Salada, thence north to
the ranch.
When about Is miles from their
destination they encountered high
water and. starting back they found
they had but three gallons of gas.
The problem seemed hopeless; they
were to all intents and purposes ma
rooned on the desert. Suddenly one
of the party espied an abandoned
tractor. Investigation showed there
was but a scant few gallons in this
which the party speedily appropriated,
but still they had SIS miles to go.
Further along the homeward route
they ran across two abandoned auto
trucks, and here's where American
ingenuity came into play. They
drilled for gas, literally by puncturing
the tanks with improvised drills, leav-.
ing the wrecks as they had found
them. minus what gas there was,
which happily proved to be enough to
carry them into Mexicaii, hungry, dis
gruntled and gasless, just about the
time they closed the front gates OF
Mexicali.
