who had the Interviewing of the mer-
chants In charge were not able to see
all. It may be that Home will be
omitted from the lint who will volun-
tarily close. It Is sincerely hoped
that every merchant whose name Is on
the list will close promptly in fairness
to all others and that as many others
as possible will Join In giving this sup-
port to the great team a. the high
school.
"All but one of the downtown dry

"The spirit of 'get-together' pulling

dents and friends of Chic-kasha high
school pledge their unbounded loyalty
and support to the business men of

STAMPEDE
STARTED BY
STUDENTS
Amidst scenes of confusion embel
lished by screams of excited lady wit
nesses and shouts of excited men wit-
neses Judge Linn hurriedly adjourned
district court yesterday afternoon
right in the middle of hearing a case
while officers Investigated a supposed
murder that might have been trans-
piring In the lower hallway of the
county courthouse.
Preceding the storm the lull was
restful. Judge Linn reposed on the
small of his back behind the bar of
Justice; witnesses dozed In their
places within ihe railing; Attorney F.
E. Riddle had Just run his fingers
thoughtfully through his flowing end
leonine mane; Chief Bailiff "Daddy"
Hill glanced angrily at a belated fly
which buzzed and buzzed and other-
wise annoyed the stillness of the at-
mospheiH. Attorney Bert Barefoot
had gotten as far as "May It please
the court" In the marfer of anlimber-
ing his heavy oratorical artillery
when well to be brief pandemonium
broke loose In the lower scenery of
the court house. Yells and shrieks
and groans and crieo all all were
turned loose In one vast volume of
soul-stiring peace-of-mind destroying
noise.
Ladies In the court room shrieked
of murder and other similar scarry
things; Mr. Riddle came to attention
with a snap; Mr. Barefoot found an
immediate period to his remarks;
Court Clerk Newman sought refuge
within the Innermost recesses of the
vult in his office; Mrs. Watkins hid
behind a large typewriting machine;
Moman ?hej3rd twenty miles away
thanked the Lord he was not present
and Judge Linn left the bench crossed
the court room at two bounds took
the stairs In one jump and landed in
the lower hallway intent on stopping
the riot the assassinations and anar
chical uprisings. Meekly bringing up
the extreme rear came a procession of
court !ouse attaches. And the noise
stoppei
Invb3 Igation developed that the
noise emanated from the leather air
apparatus of about two score and ten
high school lads and lassies who had
Just succeeded in selling tickets to
Monday's football game to the county
clerk the county assessor the county
treasurer the county Judges" the
county deputies the court house Jan-
itor and Jim Robinson and they were
celebrating the events by rending the
air with the high school yells.
The students were dispersed and
court reconvened in due and ancient
form.
ADDITION
TO CHURCH
The congregation of ' the Second
Baptist church located at Eighth

cided to enlarge that place of worship.
The Improvement upon the building
will consist of an addition work upon
which will begin at once.

congregation the building committee
reported that $150 had already been
subscribed to defray the expenses of
the addition. This committee is com
posed of Messrs. Dan W. Beets

A hignly Interesting and unusual picture Just from the Argonne district. The crown prince has been making
attacks along this front in which poison gas was extensively used. Entire regiments go about constantly masl:ed
against the deadly fumes and when during a lull In the fighting the regimental band got together for re-
hearsal in the ruins of a village they presented this grotesque scene.

Deputy Worley Seizes Various
Brands of Wet Goods in Rounds
North of Red River; Ford
Car Confiscated
Deputy W. A. Worley of the United
States marshall's' offices has been
busily engaged for the past several
days in suppressing from circulation
an abundance of malt? "vinous and spir-
ituous liquors which have chanced to
wander far from the paternal rooftree
down Wichita Falls way across the
line into the booze Sahara of Okla-
homa. Mr. W'orley's latest raid was pulled
off only a dav or o ago when he and
a constable down at Ryan in Jeffer-
son county descended upon a wagon
loaded with 124 quarts of Budweiser
and 72 pints of Schlitz. The occu-
pants of the wagon had ditched about
half the German disturbance when the
officers overhauled them. The beer
was destroyed the outfit confiscated

Muskogee jail while his fellow trav-
elers having satisfied the United
States commissioner that they were
only "passengers" in the wagon were

Just a night or so before this. Dep-
uty Worley was one of a party who
came down like a warrior of old upon
some fabled demon upon an auto or
speaking strictly adherently to tho
truth a Ford--which the driver had
deserted after it ha.! "stuck in the

by the officers. In this auto-Ford was

ERIOUSLY
SLASHED AT
ANADARKO
O. B. Mashore of Washita was
brought to the Chickasha hospital
from Anadarko this morning suffering
from a serious knife wound received
in an altercation in a room at the
Robinson hotel in that city at an early
hour this morning. The wound is al-
leged to have been inflicted by a man
named Massey formerly a resident of
Anadarko but now of Oklahoma City.
The details as learned at the hos-
pital set forth that O. B. Mashore of
Washita and John Wames of Fort
Cobb were in Anadarko last night and
had taken a room jointly at the Rob-
inson hotel. After engaging the room
they went out in town and remained
until quite late. Returning to the
hotel after midnight this mornintr.
through an error they entered the
room occupied by Massey who ob-
jected to being aVakened and dis-
turbed. An altercation between
Wames and Massey Is said to have
ensued. When this altercation grew
rather too warlike It Is alleged Ma-
shore who had left the room as soon
as he discovered they were in the
wrong room re-entered the room and
endeavored to quiet the men who were
quarrling. It was whilq (rfcting as
peace maker that Mashore Is alleged
to have been attacked by Massey and
stabbed one time.
Massey Is under arrest In Anadarko
awaiting the result of Mashore's in-
juries. Dr. Kerley of Anadarko who
was called in to attend the wounJed
man finding his condition serious re-
moved him to the Chickasha hospital

Dr. Downey of the Chickasha hos-
pital reports Mashore's condition very

WAR BRINGS
PROFITS TO
FARMERS
Exports of American Agricultural
Products Increased Thirty Per
Cent During First Year
of Struggle
WASHINGTON Nov. 13. Figures
compiled by the department of agri-
culture and available for the United
Press today indicate that the American
farmer is pocketing big profits as a
result of the European war.
During the first year of the war the
exports of American agricultural
products increased thirty per cent.
The stimulus resulted in a 3.4 per cent
increase in acreage and grain exports
were particularly high. Catton ex-
ports were lower than usual.
This year the country can spare for
export 373000000 bushels of wheat
250000000 bushels of corn 7000000
bales of cotton 200000000 bushels of
oats $330000000 worth of meat and
dairy products.
The aggregate production of all
crop3 this year is estimated to be
seven per cent greater than last year.
Crops showing Increased acreage this
year were sugar beets rice wheat
sweet potatoes tobacco corn oats
rye and Irish potatoes. Decreased ac-
reage was shown for flax barley cot-
ton. In many cases increased yields
per acre were shown.
The cotton crop this year is esti-
mated at 11000000 bales against over
16000000 last year. A surplus of
2000000 bales of the previous crop U
on hand.

SUN-DOWN SIGHTS
AT BIG AERODROME
"Lordy.It's Cold Up There" Say$
Aviator; Air Fleet Perfectly
Organized; Is Big Aid to
French Army
By WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS j
U. P. staff correspondent
WITH THE FRENCH ARMY 1T
CHAMPAGNE Oct. 22. (By mall.)
The Americans in the French aviation
corps are making good the air fleet
commandant here told me today.
There are six of them left; one Jimmy
Bach of Utah having recently been
taken prisoner by the Germans.
Among the others are Elliott Cow-
den wealthy Bostonian and a good
polo player; Bert Hall of Texas lean
lank and goodnatured; Billy Thaw ot
Pittsburgh Norman Prince and some
others. I saw Hail and Cowden today.
Both are "fast cruisers" flying the
swiftest machines in the squadrilla.
Georges Carpentier the famous
French middleweight youngster is a
member of the same group.
I visited the aerodrome towards sun
down. One by on the birds were
coming home to roost circling over
the field volplaning down turning and
rolling back on the ground under their
own power. Down from one of the
tiniest of these a beautiful short-
winged creation In pearl-gray and blue
stepped Hall. Seating himself on a
runner he was helped out of his fur-
lined overalls Esquimaux boots and
other Arctic overwear.
"Gee." he exclaimed walking up
and warming his hands before a hen-
zine flare lighted to guide belated
pilots home. "Lordy' but It's cold up
there!"
"I thought I was going to be late"
he said "I no out pretty far. It Is
no Joke landing in one of thesa
little rapid boys like mine even in the
daytime. And if it is getting Jark
the machine capsizes three-fourths ot
the time. Leon Hourlier and his
brother-in-law Leon Comes both fa-
mous French bicycle racers were
killed in the same machine only the
other day on this very field in just
such a stupid landing accident. Pretty
tough to escape the Germans only to
get smashed before your own door
ch?"
The French air fleet Is now as per-
fectly organized and in much the same
way as is the high seas fleet. It has
its powerful two-engined double pro-
pelled planes corresponding to the
dreadnaughts. They can mount to
any altitude quickly taking consider-
and observer. There are super-dread-naughts
some with three planes and
enormous double engines carrying
bombs enough to blow up a small
town In addition to a cannon and ma-
chine guns. There are scouts "coast
defense" planes escort cruisers for
the slower bigger mightier air navi-
gators. This is a big change from the first
days of the war when an aeroplane
performed any service its pilot wa3
ordered to do. Hall for example
I never carries explosives. His duty.
with his swift short-winged biplane la
either to do scout service far behind
the German front or accompany a
bombarding fleet and like a destroye-
at pc ward off the enemy. When
you read of the French air fleet bom-
barding some position or other in Ger-
man territory you may know that
these lightning fast biplanes accom-
pany it scouting vjn advance and pro-
tecting it on flanks rear above anil
below.
Other aeroplanes specialize on pho-
tographing still others cruise behind
their own lines coast defending chas-
ing or attacking with machine guns
any German planes coming over.
These "chasers" are so constructed
that they can train their machine guni
on the enemy from any angle up
down fore or aft All these machines
