Friday
Exactly thirteen cars filled with
Ozark Trail getters pulled out from
the city hall on time this morning with
Captain John Grihi iu the lead. Cap-
tain E. Frey was to have taken second
place but could not get his car to
working when the flag fell and he was
delegated to a place in the rear.
To break the hoodoo however about
fifteen minute later the official start
er P. G. Spilling reached the city hall r
and picking up five men who lacked
accommodations in the first thirteen
autos overtook the band of boosters
before they reached Anadarko.
The Chickasha group left for the
Tent City with the full intention of
landing the trail. They were prepared
to show Colonel Harvey and the other
judges in black and white that their
roads would come up to specifications.
Eleventh hour rushes were made to
surrounding townships to secure prom
ises to put prospective routes into
proper shape and the excise board held
a late meeting at the Farm bureau last
night to approve tho action of the
township boards.
Members of the county commission

prominent business men made up the
hustling group of highway seekers

Chickasha Boys Will Soon
Know Fate in Draft Lottery
Active Work of Conscription Will Proba-
bly Begin About July IS is Cuess
of Registrar Murray
Although no definite orders to the
effect have yot come to the hands of
the Grady county exemption boards
R. W. Murray who has had charge
of the registration here believes that
selective conscription may begin by
July 15. At least this is the date now
under the consideration of the war de-
partment and though -that time has
not been actually fixed the selection
will begin within a few days of that
time in the opinion of Mr. Murray.
July 4 has been suggested as the ear-
liest possible date but it ia thought
that July 13 is the most probable as
it will be difficult to complete ar-
'rsngeawats by the first of the month.

Smaller Towns of Grady However Have
Come Up to Scratch for Respectable
County Showing
Although accurate figures are not
yet available on Chickasha's donation
to the Red Cross 4100000000 fund it
is believed by those in charge that the
entire subscriptions up to date will
not pass 4000 if it reaches that mark.
This total includes the first day's
$1000 taken in by Red Cross girls.
This is based on figures already at
hand and incomplete reports of com-
mittees some of whose members left
on the Ozark Trail excursion.
That Chickasha has fallen down on
her allotment however goes without
saying according to the estimates giv

Washington June 26 The prohibi-

dition tacked on in the house.
SPECIAL SCHOOL ELECTION
A special school election will be held
tomorrow. The polls will be opened
from 6 a. in. till 7 p. m.
The Grady county registration
board has had all work finished up
for some time and Is patiently await-
ing instructions. Typewritten lists of
registrants arranged in alphabetical
order by precincts were requested and
the wish complied with by the Chick-
asha officials at an early date. The
exemption boards for the county have
been organized and they too await
the pleasure of the government. The
regulations for exemption have been
completed by the national war office
and approved by the president but in
spite of the fact that Mr. Murray ex-
pected a copy of them last night the
regulations had not been received at
noon today. Everything is in readi-
ness to begin Grady county's part in
raising the new nationa larmy how-
ever and whenever the orders are re-
ceived from the adjutant general
