Ardmore. Jan. 25.-l.ate yesterday.
Judge Oldfleld. sitting In district
court In Ardmore, sustained n motion
to quash the jury list in Carter coun-

case was reset for February 7.
Mathers said hiatt he had been
given permission by "the jury com.
mission to change some of the
names, and cited several instances,
giving his reason far making the
changes. Mike German and ]. A.
Givens, jury commissioners, denied
having counseled with Mathers on
the change. but Tom Ellis, third com.
missioner, said that Mathers had
drawn his attention to one or two
names of men who had served on
previous juries and were not quail
fled.
In his testimony, German said that
nine or ten names had been dupli-
Gated and ten or eleven names had
been added to the list during the in.
terval of the selection by the com
mission and the time the typewritten
list was turned over to the court
clerk. German explained that the

to do the worn. Later .he names
were not checked, except as to num-
Der, German testified.

TRAINER OF POLO PONIES WANTS
CHICKASHA TO ORGANIZE A POLO
CLUB TO MEET OTHERS OF STATE

Why can't Chickasha organize and
maintain polo club and put q polo
team in competition with other
towns of the state?
That is the question asked this
morning by Mills West, a trainer of
polo ponies for a number of years
and himself a member of the Minco
polo team in earlier days. The
Minco team humbled the crack Chi
cago polo team on two occasions in
addition to taking the measure Of a
number of other good teams from
the east and north.
Mr. West was trainer for years of
horses from the G. B. Campbell
stables and has a reputation as a
horseman and handler Of polo
ponies. He states that there is a suf-
ficient amount of space on the inside
of the half mile race track at the
Grady county fair grounds for a polo
field and suggests that Chickasha
add that brand of sport to other
sporting programs staged on the
local fair ground athletic field.
In speaking of the proposition, Mr..
West said:
Il see that several of the Okla
homa towns like Oklahoma City,
Ardmore, Guthrie, Shawnee and Ada
are going to organize polo clubs.
What about Chickasha, the best

town on the map? Chickasha is the
gateway to the oil fields each, south
and west. With all this and then
not to have a good polo club would
give this city black eye.
I'VE have good baseball, good foot
ball and good basket ball. Polo is
played with a ball and Is the best
game of all. | see in the Sunday
Oklahoman the names of horses
that have been sold and that have
gone to the east and they have all
made good c. B. Campbell sold the
most if not all of those horses and
it has been my pleasure TO ride them
in training, and also in real polo
games. The Minco Polo club never
lost game with the blue bloods'
from the east and we played several
games with them. have played in
games with Jim Minick. He is a
good man but il he will bring DR..
Lipscombe, Mr.. Tye and Mr.. Fight
master to Chickasha after we get
organized we will clean up on them.
We have the men and can soon train
the horses. count myself a good
light weight polo player, so here is
hoping that Chickasha will organize
a polo club and keep up with the
rest of the world.
Il am for anything that can be
played on a horse but | don't want
any football for have corns."

CARRIER URGES SIDEWALKS.

Editor Pleasantville Press
In regard to Personalities mail de-
livery being taken away, a few sug-
gestions may be in order. Those who
own property in the city of Pleasant
Vile and have no sidewalks thereon
should take notice of this and start
some action toward placing them at
the front OF their properties. This
would lessen the probability of dis
pensing with free delivery of mail. 1t
seems to some of the owners and pri-
vate citizens that sidewalks would be
an extra expense to them and some
could not afford 1t. However, If they
considered having to walk a block or
a mile for their mail, | think quite a
kick would be made. In order to have
our city delivery put over, the people
OF Pleasantville should cooperate with
the postal authorities and meet their
demands for sidewalks, which seems
TO be the only hold-up in the matter
of city delivery. Taxes are high, that
is true; but if the two were put to-
gether, city delivery and taxes, | think
the people of Pleasantville would con
slider city delivery. This town is
growing every day and business is
increasing rapidly. Such an act as
having our mail carriers disposed of
would be quite a blow to this progress
sive town of ours, and | believe would
make a very large decrease in popula-
ton and business. Business men of
the town cannot close their doors two
or three times a day to go to the post
office for mail. Surely they would
lose money WnpIdnit ii ha obaanar
to put in sidewalks and have their
mail delivered by carriers? At the
present time the carriers we have are
little oVerworked, because so much
territory must be covered within a
specified time, and not a minute is
lost by the carrier; they are doing
their best to give the people OF Pleas
satisfactory service for the
amount of stops and ground they have
TO cover. If every one owning prop
and having deeds TO same would
notice this and get busy as soon as
weather moderates a little and
place the sidewalks in, quite a differ
enee would be made by the p. O..
on their next inspection
Of this town, which isn't far off, /
% lieye. We must cooperate with the
government to keep our motto: Pleas
a Pleasant Place for Pleasant
People to build a Pleasant Home.
Trusting the people of P~leasantville
ire well informed OF the conditions
concerning this problem, and II they
Will work together on this, | think we
will obtain our city delivery.
