Butter cream eggs wheat and
corn have been going down" said
Abercrombie so I decided that the
prices of shaves and hair cuta ought
to i-mne down also. I opened up st
25 cents for a hair cut and 15 cents
for a shave which is a fair price
considering that cream is selling
for 20 cents and wheat for 70 cent.
The state barber bord came down
here and enjoined me from charg-
ing Uiis amount saying Uiat 75 per
cent of the barbers of Chickasha
had decided Uiat 20 cents for a
slinve and 35 cents for hair cuts
was the lowest price that could be
charged. I think Uw tew is uncon-
stitutional and I am going to fight
it to Uw Supreme Court of the

Tlw law under which Abercrom-
bie was enjoined was passed by Uw

out in Cushing and the Cushing
case is now before Uie Supreme
