The Press invites its readers to express their opinions through its columns and each week it plans to carry Letters to the Editor on its editorial page. This newspaper is independent in its policies and is glad to print both sides of any question. Letters to the Edi tor should be written legibly on only one side of the paper and should be of reasonable length. Of course, the editor reserves the right to reject letters which are too long or violate one's better sensibilities. Weekly Bible I will lift up mine eyes unto the help. Psalms 221: 1. Chamber of Commerce Needed PROPOSAL ,to revive Franklin's Chamber of Commerce, dormant since last Autumn, is broach ed in the "Public Opinion''" column ihis week by George Dean, town clerk, .who also served as secre tary of the chamber until it ceased to function for lack of support. , With the vacation season almost ,u'pon us, meaning an influx of summer visitors and a heavy increase in tourist traffic, Mr. Dean's proposal is most timely. The business men of Franklin should lose no time in putting the old Chamber of Commerce back on its feet or organizing a new body along similar lines. Call it Chamber of Commerce, Board of Trade or Civic Association it' makes little difference but some organization to disseminate information about Franklin and Macon county, to act concertedly for the betterment of the community and to attract new business enterprises and new residents here is an mi perative need. , : Although the Chamber of Commerce has not func tioned for some months, Mr. Dean has been contin uing to carry out his former duties as secretary- on a voluntary basis. Each (lay he answers numerous letters addressed to the Franklin Chamber of Com merceasking for information about the summer re sorts in this section or the agricultural and industrial advantages of this county. Such effort is commendable. More is needed, however, than an information bu reau. One man can't run a Chamber of Commerce especially when he not only receives no compensation but has no funds with which to operate. The joint effort and support of every business man and public spirited citizen of the community is needed. Towns like private business firms, gram of development, without which little progress can be made. Some one must push a town, just as someone must push a business enterprise, if it is to grow and prosper. "Where is the money coming from?" is the qucs tion one usually hears when the Chamber-of Com merce proposal is mentioned, "it's just another ex pense. We can't afford it." The truth is that we can't afford to do without a Chamber of Commerce, The business that a properly maiiageu civic agency win for the cost of -operating progressive town; in almost every instance you wil find that it has a Chamber bet your feet fast in the common, soil. There are the roots o life. There you must learn to stand. Begin on the plane of every nay noi in me uiue oi me neavens plow the field before you gather in one. With joy and sorrow, .hope earth a bridge up to the. stars." - 1 - Public To the Editor: If you will give me a little space in your good paper I want to do some "kicking." If good hard kicks are placed in the right spot they help regulate the world., . Last December the Chamber of Commerce ceased to function. It had done a good work in advertis ing Franklin and Macon county. The directors had some nice fold ers and other literature printed and the secretary mailed them to many sections in other states. The former town clerk was secre tary and received a small " salary for doing this work and answering letters and inquiries. The town office was used and no office had to be rented. Since December I have carried on the work as best I could. I have used the town stationery and postage. One hotel man offered to help pay the ex ;nsj6. The others do not appear to be Interested. Thought hills, from whence cometh my requesting, daia concerning need" an organized pro auraci will more than pay that agencv. Go into anv of Commerce. and grow upward. -.Must, you not the harvest?

DEAN. ?jv a mw, SYNOPSIS In 1889, Yancey Cravat and his oung wife, Sabra Venable, with heir four-year-old son, Cimarron, nd a negro servant, Jsaiah, start (nit as . pioneers to the newly pened Oklahoma country, from Wichita, Kansas, where Cravat racticed law and edited the VVich- it VVigwm. A typically picturesque figure of the West at that time, Yancey Cravat was a dashing cow boy, born orator, brilliant lawyer, whose past was shrouded in mys- ery, and who, gossip said, had Indian blood in his veins. He revolts against the decadent aris- ocracy of his wife's family who Utterly oppose his taking the' young and beautiful Sabra to the dangers md hardships of frontier life. In two covered, wgons they make the ourney across the prairies through days of heat, with several adven turous encounters, to the month-old own of Osage. Sabra is shocked by the wild ami lawless character of the town, and frightened by a pistol shot aimed at her husband the day' after their arrival. Yancey begins trying to discover who mur dered the last editor, named Tcg- er. ' - V A combination newspaper plant, aw office and dwelling is secured. Sabra bravely sets up housekeep ing and assists Yancey in the ptib- ication of the Oklahoma Wigwni. Yancey continues .his determined efforts to find the murderer of Pegler in spite of Sabra's frantic pleadings that he should not ex pose himself to a like fate. Now go on with the story. "Yancey," said l'ete I'itchlyn, de liberately, "stick to your lawy'in'." "Why?" "Anybody's 'got the gift of gab like you have is wastin' their time doin' anything else." "Oh, I wouldn't say that," Yan cey replied, all modesty. "Running a newspaper keeps me in touch with folks. I like it. Ik-sides, the law isn't very remunerative in these parts. Running a newspaper's my way of earning a living. Of course," he continued brightly, as an afterthought, "there have been times when running a newspaper has saved the editor the trouble of ever again having to earn a liv ing." The faces of the two were blank as a sponged slate. Sud denly "Come on, bovs. Who kill ed Pegler?" Fete Pitchly vanished. Yancey and the Spaniard were left alone .on the sunny street corner. The face of Miro now became strangely pinched. The eyes were inky slits. He was summoning all his little t ii 0 Dravado, iiuinug. it out ot his in most depths. "I know something. I have that to tell you," he- said in Spanisl his lips barely moving. . xanccy replied in the same tongue, "Out with it." The Spaniard did not speak. The slits looked at Yancey. Yancev knew that already he must have been well paid by some one to show such temerity when his very vuais were gripped with lear. You know something, h'm? Well, Miro, mas vale saher que haber." -With which bit. of philosophy he showed Miro what a westerner can do iii the way of a shrug; and sauntered off. .Miro leaped alter turn in one noiseless bound, like a cat. 1 1 seemed now to be more afraid of not revealing .that which he had been paid to say than of saying it He spoke rapid! v.. - in Spanish. "I say only that which was told t nie. The words arc not mine. They say.. 'Are. you a friend of Yancev Cravat?' say, 'Yes.' They say then, 'Tell your friend Yancey Cravat that wisdom is better than wealth. If he does not keen' hi (1 ni mouth shut he will die.' The words are not mine." nianks, replied anc.ey. thoughtfully, ' speaking, in English now. Then with one fine whin hand he reached out swiftly and gave Miro's scarlet neckerchief a quick strong jerk and twist. The gesture was at once an insult and a threat. "Tell them " Suddenly Yancey stopped. He opened his mouth, and there issued from it a sound so dreadful, so unearthly as to freeze the blood of any whhin hearing. It was, a sound between Mr 15 Edna Fei'her ;j& the gobble of an angry turkey cock , and the howl ; of a coyote. Throughout .the" -Southwest' it was known that this terrible sound, famed as the gobble, was Cherokee in origin and a death cry among the Territory Indians. It -was known, too, that when an Indian gobbled it meant sudden destruc tion to any or ull in his path. The Spaniard's face went a cu rious dough gray. With a whimper he ran, a streak of purple and scarlet and brown, round the corn er of the nearest shack, and van ished. Unfortunately, Yancey could not resist the temptation of dilating to Sabra on this dramatic triumph. The story was, furthermore, told in the presence of Cim and Isaiah, and illustrated before Sabra could prevent it with a magnificent ren dering of the blood-curdling gobble They were seated at noonday din ner. Sabra's fork, halfway to her mouth, fell clattering on her. plate. Her face blanched. Her appetite was gone. It was all like a nightmarish game, she thought. The shooting, the carousing, the brawls and high altercations; the sounds of laughter and ribaldry and drinking and song that issued from the flimsy card board false-front shacks that lined the preposterous street. Steadfast-1 ly she refused to believe that this was to be the accepted order of their existence. Yancey was always talking of a new code, a new day; live and let liveA Sabra refused to believe that this business of the Pegler shooting was as serious as Yancey made it out to be. It was just one of his whims. He would, she told herself, publish something or other about it in the first edition of the Okla homa Wigwam. Yancey stoutly maintained it was due off the press on Thursday. Privately, Sabra thought that this would have to be accomplishc-d by a miracle. This was Friday. A fortnight had gone by. Nothing had been done. Per haps he was exaggerating the dang er as well as the importance of all this Pegler business. .Something else would come up to attract his interest, arouse his indignation, or outrage his sense of justice. (Continued next week) The heart, liver and kidney of beef, the liver of lamb, and the liver and heart of pork are com parativcly inexpensive and are rich er in vitamins than muscle meat.
