meeting of the Chickasha Baseball
association will be held in the Cham
ber of Commerce rooms, at which
time the report of the representa-
tives who attended the Kansas City

From the expressions of Dr. A. b.
Leeds, o. j, Hallowell and e. e.
Wrenn, who represented Chickasha
at the Kansas City meeting of the
Western association moguls, their
report is to be the story Of re
vamped organization, the detail of
which is to put the western associa-
tion in new light as baseball
league The league was known last
year as tho biggest little league" in
the country and it is indicated that
the Kansas City meeting put it on
an even better rating, setting the
skids under Dick Cooley and Ted
Waring, who created practically the
only dank odor that eminated from
the circuit through last year.
Now that Chickasha is definitely
in the Western association for the
season OF 1921, what is Chickasha
going to do about it?
That's another question that will
be taken up at the meeting and it
Is the desire Of the directors of the
association that the fans turn out in
droves Monday night and help solve
the problem.

High Quality
Eggs Desired


Ninety-five per cent of the eggs
brought into us are strictly fresh
and the other five per cent drag
down the selling price of all.
During the hot weather eggs
should be brought to market at
least once a week, twice would be
much better. Eggs from stolen
nests should never be marketed.
The Gambling of all eggs as they
are brought into the store means
lot of work and expense, and we
hesitate to start it. However, I'M
less some who bring eggs to us are
not more careful, we will be COM
PEELED to commence Gambling, and
will then pay for each lot accord
ing to their quality.
Please help us help you by bring
ing in only strictly fresh eggs, as
the price we are able to pay you is
governed entirely by the net re-
ceipts after eggs have been candled
by the buyers.

THINKING

Thinking was invented by So
crates, whom Francis Gallon calls
the greatest genius in history. Be-
fore Socrates, the head of man was
largely a loafing place for hair.
Now it is a perfect hotbed of
ideas, and the blank look of man
who isn't thinking of thing is so
rare that one almost never sees it.
Loose thinking, which prevailed
for centuries before Socrates, was
getting man nowhere. Socrates
saw that and substituted for it hard
thinking, which may be said to have
done the business.
Like everything else new, think
ing was regarded with alarm, and
Socrates was put to death for it.
Nevertheless, there were men who
liked it and thought it was a good
thing. They kept on. thinking, and
24O0 years after Socrates, we find
ourselves enjoying the fruits of hui
man thought to such an extent
that men get rid of the hair on their
heads as quickly as possible and
devote themselves exclusively to
the cultivation of thought.
If there really were hair restor-
ers we wouldn't use them. Heads
are much too valuable for waste
products.
