An invitation has been given by of-
ficials ia charge of the census to all
who know of anyone missed to re-
port the same.
It is highly probable that some of
the people of Chickasha were miss-
ed by the enumerators although the
latter were very competent men and
did their work carefully. Do yon
know of anyone missed? If so report
it at once that it may be invesigaie
Other towns and cities in the new

Th1 Sells-Floto parade was pulled
off just be.'ore noon and the several
thousand people who came down to
Ciickasha avenue had an excellent op-
portunity to see it in all its tdory.
Most show parades are ail alike and
the Sells-Floto was not a disappoint-
ment. There were the elephants and
fie camels tigers the bands the
clowns th pretty .women dressed in
outlandish coBtumes the mysterious
ouking wagons which are. gaily paint
ed on the outside and lead the small
boy to wonder what is on the inside;
and there was the inevitable calliope.'
That ended the long parade. This af
ternoon at two o clock the usual b;g

They have a pride in the show not or-
dinarily found and to a man who went
every man employed seemed a press
agent. They all bragged on the show
its features manager class of peo-
ple as well as the beautiful horses.
With the usual band of small boys as
a reception committee the circus pitch
ed their tents on the show grounds
just below the Rock Island round
house. It was the first circus of the
season and the only good show that
will visit Chickasha this year; and
for that reason it received more than
the ordinary share of attention from
the rising o-encation.

Feehheimer badges and the Fech-
hiurner boosters were much in evidence
as the delegates gathered at the op-
era house this afternoon. Many dem-
ocrats wore Fechheimer badges "just
for todav" and there was much enthus
iasm for the Chickasha candidate.
Wiiile it was conceded that Maj. Mc
Knight would lead on the first ballot
it was believed that Mr. iechheimer
could then come to the front strong
enough to land the nomination.
Owing to delay In arrival of dele-
gates the convention was not called
to order till about three o'clock.

A Matter of Choice
Really as a matter of choice we would rather have
tea persons deposit $1 each than one person $10; or
ten persons dnposit $10 each than one person $100; or
ten persons deposit f 100 each than on pet son $1000; or
ten persons deposit $1000 each than one person $10 000
True these smaller deposits give us more labor in caring for them
still we prefer them. No one therefore should feel at all timid
about bringing iu small deposits.
