(Special.)—The men in military organizations at Fort Sill and Camp Doniphan and the men from Oklahoma at Camp Bowie and Camp Travis, who will soon go to France, are going over there to make the supreme sacrifice, that of their lives, in the winning of this war. With this startling statement, Major George P. Whitsett of Fort Sill asks the people of Oklahoma who remain behind. "What are you doing to help win this war? Major Whitsett in speeches at Tulsa and elsewhere in behalf of the war Savings campaign, declared that War Stamps are now the medium of service for all Oklahoma citizens not otherwise engaged. "We are spending little time teaching our soldiers how to defend themselves, "said Major Whitsett. "We are teaching them just how far and how deep to send their bayonets into the bodies of the Huns to kill them. We are teaching them to be killers because the more efficiently they kill, the sooner this war will be over. "We have at Camp Doniphan 40,000 men, the pick and flower of Oklahoma, Kansas and Missouri. They are lawyers, doctors, and merchants. When they go to France, not one of them will come back. You may make up your mind to that. When they go over the top after a week or more of artillery preparation and go against the Germans five and six lines deep, they can be expected only to hold the ground until reserves arrive. They will not be there. They will be dead. "Do not deceive yourself into thinking that peace is coming within a few months or the next year. Do not imagine there will be a revolution in Germany and that the striking laborers who are demanding peace will be able to overthrow the government. No opportunity is there—no chance that the forces off unrest in Germany can organize a movement of sufficient strength to bring peace. The military power of the Kaiser's machine is so strong those who seek to force peace will be crushed before they can get started. "We are fighting the most perfect war machine ever created. We can win only through discipline, better discipline than the Germans have. Not only must every soldier in our army be disciplined but every man, woman and child in this country must discipline themselves and obey every order and every request of the government. "Those of you who are not in the draft must get into service some other way. War Savings Stamps are the medium of service just now." Do you get up at night?

The above named Fair does not in any way conflict with the Great Co-Operative Negro Farmers Industrial State Fair, which will be held in Muskogee next fall and of which the Honorable J. Coody Johnson, of Wewoka, is President. We make this statement because jealous parties have attempted to circulate statements among the people that there would be an opposition Fair in Muskogee next fall. In answer to the call of the President, J. Coody Johnson, the Fair Association held a stockholders' meeting at Wewoka on the 12th of February and Officers were elected and a Board of Directors. The full proceedings of the meeting will be published in the March issue of this paper. Just as soon as we can get all the facts concerning the shooting of Oscar Mayfield, by a Muskogee Policeman, we will give the same to the public with our comments. We want to do Justice to both sides. A number of our boys failed to get their questionaires through the mails and are coming in and making inquiries and getting them and having them filled out. There is no disposition on their part to dodge and we are glad to see this spirit as it shows that all of our boys are loyal to the government. When you have Backache the liver or kidneys are sure to be out of gear. Try Sanol. it does wonders for the liver, kidneys and bladder. A trial 35c bottle will convince you.

"What is to be the condition of affairs after the war?" is a question now largely of speculation, but nevertheless it is a question of consideration of which is most important. From the close study of other wars and post war conditions, many helpful suggestions may be derived. We know there must be a reconstruction: a reorganization of business and industry, a readjustment in politics, and, though more subtle, a readjustment of morals and religion. Of course most of the nations at war have assigned high altruistic motives. But whether it is to make democracy safe or to get more world trade, the moral reaction must be great. What will be the effect on the Negro? The whole war like all wars will be educative. The boys who come back from France will be different from those who went. They will have learned to an extent a different language, seen new landscapes, heard new music and learned new customs. Particularly will this be true for the Americans. The white soldier will learn to respect the black man more on the one hand and on the other his hate will be directed more to other whites—Germans. At present the white man's hate goes out to blacks only, while all whites are his friend. That is the color line divides friend and enemies. The war will undoubtedly destroy this in that the circle of hate will know no color line, and the circle of friendship will include some blocks, and the longer the war lasts the more. Again, this war will teach that a black man can be above white men. With seven hundred Negro officers in the army, there will be seven hundred men with higher ranks than a quarter of a million whites. As the war progresses there will be more and higher officers, and army discipline will demand that they be respected, and should the war last long, this discipline will tend to habit. The Negro will get great education out of this war. He will find less color line in France than anywhere else. He will find a grateful heart in the Frenchman, such as he does not find here at home. This will tend to make him hold up his head, stand on his feet, and remember that he too is a man. And when he comes back to America, whether our arms are victorious or not, he can never forget this lesson. Let us send a big army to Europe—to help the Allies. But more to educate ourselves from our narrow bigotted provincialism to a broader international and human point of view: the bigger the army the better, and the longer the war lasts the better still. His wonders to perform." 11. The Readjustment After the War. In the readjustment after the war which we are fighting "to make the world safe for democracy," what part shall we play? Obviously our hope is that out of the war sentiment may come to make America safe for democracy. We hope that here at home, democracy may mean something more than a sham; that it may mean that governments derive their just power from the consent of the governed, whether they are white or black; that South Carolina and Mississippi have no more right to intimidate and virtually disfranchise its black citizens than the Germans have to rule Belgium without her consent. That the Constitution of the United States with the Amendments thereof, is no more a mere "scrap of paper" than is a German treaty; that lynching, Jim-Crowism, and other illegal discriminations against the Negro are no more righteous in America than Kaiserism is in Europe. We hope the war will clarify the vision of America, and nerve us to set about to make the democracy of which we boast more than a mere by-word. In fact, we believe that since we have entered the world politics, Europe will be quick to see our hypocrisy in reference to our so-called democracy. The Church's Part. The Church's Part. In the adjustment the chief factor upon which we are to depend is the Christian Church. If our democracy is to be made more than a sham, it will be because of the Church's influence. If the Brotherhood of the Church is to mean more than white men it will be because of the influence of the Negro Church. Our task is to interpret the Negro into the Democracy of this nation and into the Christianity of America. At present we are brother-in-law-in-Christ, but not brothers in fact and practice. As a noted historian wrote some years ago when questioned regarding a certain Negro's great explorations, "Historians have not searched history with an eye to the deeds of Negroes," so Christianity in America has not yet been practiced with an eye to the welfare of Negroes. And as a group of aggressive Negroes has turned the attention of historians to the great mines of Negro history, so a group of Negroes must put it up to Christianity of the nation to consider the Negro as Jesus intended. The Religion of the South. What is the fact? Take the religion of the South, and nowhere in the nation is there a greater proportion of church members than in the South. Nowhere is there more religion. Yet there is the worst practice of religion toward the Negro. All preachers in the South are fond of the individual Negro; they as a rule like to preach to Negroes; many of them give money to Negroes; some help to educate Negroes. But they do not do the most necessary thing. What Negroes need more than alms, or occasional sermons to them, is: 1. Security of Person: A sentiment in the community which holds as Negro's life as dear as a white man's. 2. Security of Property: If a Negro works for property he ought to hold it until he disposes of it, and no amount of intimidation ought to force him to dispose of it. 3. Equality before the Courts: The scandal of America is that the Negro cannot get justice, especially in the South, when a white man is concerned. 4. Fair Laws: The brains of the South have been too long devoted to endeavoring to make laws to rob Negroes of their rights. 5. The sanctity of the Home: The Christian South has never honestly faced the subject of racial interbreeding. It has made a lot of fuss about intermarriage and thus encouraged the great- est moral scandal in our nation. We might mention other things which the Christian Church should consider sincerely, frankly, honestly. When it considers these things honestly, and ceases to evade, there will certainly be improvement. There are 100,000 white preachers in the country. Perhaps not one out of 100 preachers for a wider Christianity for Negroes. But if it were possible to get 25,000 of these to preach five sermons a year on the Negro's clai into Christianity: say on (1) Shall the Negro have justice in the Courts of Our Democracy? (2) Lynchin; (3) Shall the Negro Women be Projected in their Virtue? (4) Democracy, Christianity and the Negro, are they compatible? (5) Are we doing our part toward educating the Negro? If 1,000 white preachers should preach these or similar subjects, vigorously, we should have much better conditions. But what is the Church doing? Almost nothing, except a few great souls here and there. But should we Negroes not insist that it is a part of the white man's Christian duty to treat these subjects? Should we not insist that the white clergy cannot be true to their Master and longer ignore these subjects? Should we not seek to cultivate friendly relations with the white clergy and pointe out to them the great need of the hour? And what better time is there than now, when Christianity seems to be on trial? When men are realizing very where the serious consequences which a false Christian practice has brought upon us? Should we not do something? What shall we do? When the war is over, how shall we harness the results and give the Negro his share of the victory?—From The Christian Recorder, Dec. 13, 1917, R. R.

JOONAN. 01 S. 19th St., Philadelphia, Pa. 109 ALL YOU NEED FREE It is high time that people who have been engaged in the whiskey traffic in this country should call a halt. There have been a number of cases tried in the U. S. Court at this term and in every instance up to date the defendant has been convicted. The government is determined to put a stop to the traffic and it seems to us a fellow is very foolish to attempt to buck the government. It would be a lesson to our people who have been talking too much without informing themselves about the war and about those engaged in it to go to court and listen to one of the trials where defendants are charged with obstructing the government. They would learn then that it is possible for a man to get into trouble and very serious trouble by talking against the government and advising young men to resist the draft. Some people are so ignorant that they think there is no harm in any kind of talk and that you have to kill some public officials or throw a bomb before you can be charged with obstructing the government or guilty of treason. The Court will not be light in assessing punishment against those found guilty. The committee appointed to investigate the charges made against a number of Muskogee lawyers has done its work and returned to the capital and they will make their report some time soon. In the meanwhile many Muskogee lawyers are on the anxious scat. MEMBER NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION A barrel labeled "Pure apple cider, consigned to F. Armellini, 108 West Washington avenue, was taken into custody by Constable G. S. Scott, Saturday, when the bung blew out of the barrel at the Missouri Pacific freight depot and let some suspicious odors escape. An analysis of the contents showed that the cider contained 5.9 per cent alcohol. Mr. Armellini said that he did not know that the cider contained alcohol and agreed that it should be destroyed. Constable Scott is holding the cider, awaiting orders for its disposition—Arkansas Gazette. SEPTEMBER A WET MONTH MUCH LIQUOR SEIZED IN "BONE-DRY" WEST VIRGINIA Federal Prohibition Law Fails to Prevent Citizens From Having Drink—Raid After Raid—ManyArrests and Convictions—But Still They Git It Charleston, W. Va.—Seventy-four arrests and the confiscation of 390 quarts, 2,596 pints and 46 half-pints of whisky; 24 quarts of alcohol, 177 pints of beer, 490 gallons of cider and 340 gallons of wine were the results of the operation of the state prohibition department officers in the month of September. A large number of arrests and convictions also were reported to the department today. I. F. Howell, W. C. Preston, J. A. Morely and Sherman Anderson were arrested by Officers Ketchum, Katsem and Kane, as the four were passing Camden Park, near Huntington, in an automobile in which they had 24 quarts of alcohol, 12 quarts and 48 pints of whiskey. The four were tried, convicted, and each was fined $100 and sentenced to two months in jail. Ed Ridley, George Levess and Mike Aallet, of Gary, were arrested by M. E. Ketchum at Nenova, each having in his possession more than the legal amount of intoxicants. Each was fined $100 and sentenced to two months in jail. W. E. Graham reported the confiscation and destruction of 62 pints of liquor from trains at Kenova. Nick Salitt, of Logan, was arrested with 40 gallons of grape wine in his possession and was convicted and fined $100 and sentenced to jail for two months. Alex. Johnson, of Holden, was arrested with 50 gallons of grape wine in his possession and was fined $100 and sentenced to jail for two months.—Pittsburg Gazette Times. OTHER PEOPLE'S MORALS There is no accounting for hate, and I suppose some people are never happy unless some one is going wrong to give them an excuse for sobbing noises. Two of my sisters started for school one morning, and one of them suddenly felt something stinging her in the back. The other, thinking it was a wasp, slapped her on the spot on her back, and the younger screamed with pain and ran for home. The louder she screamed the harder the other sister slapped her back, determined to kill that wasp, and then they came rushing home. I will never forget it. The good mother quickly loosened the clothing and discovered that a pin has caused the trouble, and every slap had driven its point a little deeper in the tender flesh. It is the same way with mending the morals of other people. Be sure it is a wasp and not a pin that is hurting them. I have noticed also that the man who has made the biggest failure in raising his own boys is the fellow that puts in the most time raising other men's boys. If all of us cleaned up our own back yards, the town would be rid of its smells.

If America were bone dry capital amounting to more than $1,000,000,000 would suddenly have to seek other occupation, according to the World's Work, from which also the following figures are taken: More than 200,000 employees of breweries, distilleries, saloons, etc., would have to seek other jobs, and the wages on which 1,000,000 Americans lives depend would cease. Besides the 1,500 breweries, and 650 distilleries that would have to close their doors, manufacturers of and dealers in barrels, staves, corks, bottles, beer pumps, boxes, kegs, cigars, but fixtures, glassware, ice machines, iron hoops, motor trucks, and many other businesses would suffer incalculable losses. The railroad would lose 7,000,000 tons of freight annually. The Federal Government would lose $262,000,000 annual revenue; the states, $21,000,000 a year; counties, $6,000,000 and municipalities $52,000,000. Americans would have to find other ways of spending $600,000,000 a year.

Dr. Haven Emerson, Health Commissioner, says he was dismissed on charges after a hearing because of disobedience following unsatisfactory work. Dr. Luttinger, however, alleges that the real reason was Dr. Emerson's dissatisfaction with a report which he made on the effect of alcohol on warm-blooded animals. This inquiry was conducted by Dr. Luttinger over a considerable space of time, and he reached the conclusion that, while alcohol in large quantities was a poison, in small quantities it was not harmful to the life processes of warm-blooded animals, and might even be beneficial. "I... report," said Dr. Luttinger, "disagreed with Dr. Emerson's well-known beliefs in favor of prohibition. He was very much displeased when I presented my conclusions, and I was given to understand that my resignation would be acceptable. I did not resign, but some time afterward Dr. Emerson asked me to come and see him and talk over an insignificant matter of office detail. I did not understand that our interview was a hearing or that I was on charges but two weeks later, when I was on my vacation, I got notice that I was dismissed. I had never thought that Dr. Emerson would let his belief in prohibition interfere with science and pro-ethics"—New York Times. Some maintain that John Barleycorn is dead.

The average flow of water over Niara Falls is 231,000 cubic feet, or about 1,500,000 gallons a second. The total quantity of alcoholic drinks made in the United States in a year is about 2,000,000 gallons. If this were turned into the Falls it would take ten minutes to flow over. If all the barricades in America were placed side by side in two parallel to make one street, this would be almost 978 miles long. If all the liquor handled by the rail roads were loaded on one train, this would be 180 miles long and would require 156,200 freight cases. The money paid for the 1,350,000 auto- tomobile sold in this country in the year 1855-1856—about $1,000,000,000. would be about $800,000,000 short of enough to buy out the stock and equip- ment of the county's liquor interests.

The accident occurred a short distance north of the city limits last night, Hutchison's car crashing into a machine driven by Antone Anderson, of Thatcher Idaho. The cars were going in opposite directions when the drivers attempted to pass a buggy. In the crash a year-old baby was thrown from the Hutchinson car into the Anderson car, but escaped injury.

AN ANTI-WAR MEASURE The act of the House of Representatives in passing the prohibition amendment is a call to disunion and internal conflict when all the thought and energy of the people should be unified and concentrated on the winning of the war. The protest of Representative Mr. Arthur from the dry State of Oregon on the ground that the fight over the amendment would divide the people into hostile camps and distract their attention from war activities was a sound and potent 'argument against throwing this bone of contention among the States; To inject a question, such as national prohibition, will not tend to solidify the people of the country in support of a common cause, but will coopup business, economic and political conditions, that the war will become of secondary importance in the minds of millions of people. If this amendment is approved by Congress and sent to the states for approval or rejection, the question of standing by the administration and supporting the war will become secondary in the minds of several million radical prohibitionists and extreme anti-prohibitionists when next year's elections are held. The general fitness test of loyalty to the government will be lost sight of in the campaigns that will hinge on the attitude of candy dates on the question of prohibition. Mr. McArthur gave a well deserved rebuke to the Anti-Saloon League and other prohibition agencies which are pishing this measure when he said that they would be better employed in constructive movements against the violations of the anti-liquor laws we have and in conducting campaigns of education against liquor than in forcing "a question that will create ill-feeling and recrimination among millions of our people." a amendment is not a war measure because at least three years and possibly seven will be required to settle it. It is an anti-war measure because the fight will take place during the period of the war and will seriously interrupt national unity in war work and war measures. It will divert vast sums of money to the pro and anti propagandas and campaigns which ought to be expended in the context of the war. Congress has adopted ample legislation for the control of the manufacture of liquor during the war. Whisky-making has been prohibited and the manufacture of beer and wine may be suspended and their alcoholic contents regulated by the President. The battle may be futile. It is hardly likely that 36 states will agree to control all the states in the matter of liquor. The question of the right of each State to govern the conduct of its own citizens in the use of liquor, which does not arise in State campaigns for prohibition, will appeal to many voters, particularly in the dry South. If the amendment should be adopted its enforcement would require an army of United States officers and heavy arm propriations by Congress.—St. Louis Post Dispatch. NEW YORK CITY ANTI-SALOON LEAGUE DOES NOT REPRESENT "CHURCH IN ACTION," DECLARES H. L. MENCKEN, NOTED EDITOR Anti-Liquor Forces Hope to Obtain National Amendment and Expect Commonwealth With Fewer Population to Override Wishes of Majority of People II. L. Mencken, noted satirist and associate editor of Smart Set Magazine, is directing his agile pen against the Anti-Saloon League, in a series of articles in the New York Evening Mail he is exposing the workings of the league and tearing to bits the league's claim that it represents the "church in action." His latest article appearing in the Mail reads: is an effort by the voters of the cross roads and water-tanks to ram an unpalatable deser down the gullets of the people of the cities. In the combat, of course, the countrymen have the advantage, for it actual scene, in the critical stages, usually the state legislature, and that the representatives of the backwoods nearly always outnumber the rea The Anti-Saloon League, in its bulbs and ukases to the possantain, usually describes itself as "a federation of the churches against the saloon," or in some shallar manner, and its rabbitrons always try to make it appear that the whole body of "Christian sentimen," whatever that may be, is behind it. As a matter of fact, its membership is confined almost entirely to the three so-called evangelical denominations of Protestants, and these three denominations, between them, can muster no more than two-fifths of the recorded church members of the country. True enough, the league occasionally snatches a supporter without the gates—a Catholic priest, an Episcopal ecclesiastic, a Jewish rabbi, or even, by some lucky chance, a Lutheran pastor. Every much convert, naturally enough, is made much of; if he can not actually be counted twice, then he is at least mentioned twice. Claims Are Unfounded. Nor is it to be forgotten that many influential individuals in the three evangelical denominations are anything but prohibitionists. An example, if one is needed, is offered by the President of the United States. In truth, the more one examines the figures, the more it becomes obvious that the Anti-Saloon League by no means represents "Christianity militant" or "the church in action against the saloon." What it does represent is a small part of the Christian church in action against a carefully nurtured bugaboo—and that part keeps on shrinking as fact after fact is unearthed. In New York state it probably runs to no more than 25 per cent of the total of church membership; in certain other states it may be no more than 10 per cent. In the country as an entirety, according to John Koren, a high authority, "only 15 per cent of the population belong to the denominations which the league would claim for its own." In brief, a very small tail is trying to wag a very large dog. Representing in fact less than one church member in three (even allowing them the unanimous support of the evangelical denominations), the gladiators of the league boldly presume to speak for all church-going Americans, try to make it appear that every man who is against them is a publican and a sinner, and launch impudent anthemets upon all who venture to dispute their balderdash. Country Against Cities. The strength of the evangelical denominations, of course, is concentrated in the country districts. The Catholics, Jews, Episcopalians and other such robots against the new revelation are chiefly concentrated in the cities. Thus there is the same line-up in occupation and mode of living, speaking broadly, as there is in sentiment about prohibition. The remoter yokels, in the main, are evangelical and prohibitionist; the city folk, in the main, are on the other side. The result is that the effort to pass "dry" laws, in four-fifths of the states, is an effort by the voters of the crossroads and water-tanks to ram an unpracticable dose down the gullets of the people of the cities. In the combat, of course, the countrymen have the advantage, for it is actual scene, in the critical stages, usually the state legislature, and there the representatives of the backwoods nearly always outnumber the representatives of the cities. Working Into Cities. Consider, for example, Virginia. Even calling a district of 2,500 population city, more than three quadrats of the state's inhabitants live in the county. In Kansas, about half a million live such "cities" and about 2,250,000 live on farms. So, again, in Oklahoma, Georgia, Idaho, Mississippi, the Louisiana, the Dakota, West Virginia, the nessness—in fact in nearly all the probilion states. And if you raise the minimum population of a "city" to 10,000—surely lowest reasonable figure—then you will take in the few left over. No urt state has ever gone "dry." In a states—not instance, California, O and Maryland—the Anti-Salmon Least has always come to grief. But as the leaders of the league vance in techie, they begin to into the citie, and despite some vere reversen—as in Boston and Bmore—they threaten to make prog in the not distant future. They have already managed by process described in my last article sew up the yap legislators in prox twelfths of the state; they are trying the same tricks upon the makers from the city districts, once in a while they succeed. I in the most urban state, let it be membered, they need very few votes to win, for, save in New and Massachusetts, the actual ma of the cities over the country 3 where more than a scant and one.

No wond Saloon League wire-puller for the Sheppard amendm "FREEDOM FOR ALL, FOREVER," MAY BECOME U. S. SLOGAN BY AN ACT OF CONGRESS. Washington, Jan. 28.—"Freedom, for all, forever," may be the official war slogan of the United States. A joint resolution making "Freedom for all, forever," the war slogan of all Americans has been introduced in the national house of representatives and referred to the library committee. Carl C. Van Dyke, representative from Minnesota, is the author of the resolution. He introduced it in the house and expects early and favorable action for the committee. No opposition to the resolution has thus far developed on the floor of the house. The resolution reads as follows: "Resolved: By the house of representatives that the people of the United States be urged and encouraged to use on all possible occasions, and live up to, and fight for, this as the national war slogan: 'Freedom, for All, Forever.'" This slogan was selected by newspaper judges in a nationwide slogan contest conducted by newspapers all over the country, under the direction of the Newspaper Enterprise Association, which awarded the first prize of $100 to Miss Marien I. Coop, of San Diego, Cal. Miss Coop is the first person to suggest "Freedom, for All, Forever" as the national war slogan. Congressman Van Dyke represents the St. Paul Minn. district. Nearly 8,000 slugs were submitted in the contest conducted in St. Paul by the St. Paul Daily News. "I got interested in finding the best war slogan then." Van Dyke explained at his once in the house office building. "And I think the slogan which won first national prize is as good a slogan as any nation ever had. "It's a fine slogan for the whole world. And it ought to be lived up to, here and everywhere. It means freedom for al;; don't forget that—for out! When every living person has that there can be no question about its not having forever." Van Dyke is a democrat, elected from a republican district. Before coming to congress he was president of the United States Railway Mail Employees Association, and achieved an enviable reputation fighting for the rights of mail clerks bound down by postal department rodtape. He led the fight to do away with deathhay, wooden mail cars. Van Dyke is a veteran of the Spanish-American war. He fought for the freedom of Cuba, forever. Many Washington people believe that this war's slogan, "Freedom, for All, Forever," will take a place in American history with other famous war slogans, "Taxation Without Representation Is Tyranny" of the Revolutionary war; the slogans of unity and freedom, of the Civil war, and "Remember the Maine!" of the Spanish-American conflict. A DEMOCRATIC GOVERNMENT War Savings Stamps are the answer of a great democracy to the demand for a democratic form of government security. They are "baby bonds." Like Liberty Bonds they have behind them the entire resources of the government and the people of the United States. They have the additional advantage that they are delivered when purchased, and steadily increase in value from the date of purchase until the date of maturity. These stamps are issued in two denominations, the 25c Thrift Stamp and the $5 War Savings Stamp. You can buy these Stamps at your post offices, at any bank, and at many of the periodic retail stores, offices, etc. Don't wait for the committee to call. Make up your mind now hoy many Stamps you can buy each week during 1918. Act now! Get your first Stamp today! Paste it on the card that will be given to you. Add another each week. A New Saver is a Life Saver. This is the opportunity of every man, woman and child in America to help win the war and to preserve the prosperity of the nation after victory. SAVE THE HENS. Washington, D. C., Feb. 9. Every laying hen sold from the farms before the first of May means a loss of about 30 eggs to the food supply of the nation. These eggs are valuable food, manufactured largely from insects, weeds, and grass, garbage and waste. The eggs, therefore, are almost wholly a net gain in human food. Moreover, the hen is just as good meat after she has laid these eggs as before. Save the hens is the message that the United States Department of Agriculture is sending broadcast through press notices and posters, and through its county agents, especially in the southern poultry raising section. THE COLORED AMERICAN CITIZENS. Americans of every section, of every class, and of every race have answered the call of their country. "Twelve million colored people have rallied to the defense of their country in this crisis, and will do their full soare in helping to win this world war for democracy," Dr. Robert R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee Institute, successor to Booker T. Washington in that office, said recently in an address at the Twenty-seventh Tuskegee Conference. The colored American citizens will do their part in producing foodstuff on the farm, in conserving food in the home, and in fighting in the trenches in Europe, said Dr. Moton, and in addition the colored ministry and the colored teachers will preach and teach thrift among their race. It has been impossible to obtain figures on the amount of Liberty Loan bonds purchased and second loans, but it is known that accordig to their means and ability the colored race were very loyal and active and most liberal subscribers to the loans. Certificates May Be Revoked Under "Immorality" Cause in State Those public school teachers in Oklahoma who commit disloyal acts in the belief that there is no legal power to revoke their certificates are in danger of finding themselves without positions when the opinion delivered by Attorney General S. P. Freeling on this subject, reaches the proper officials. The case in point was that of a woman school teacher who refused to permit the American flag to be displayed in her school room, expressed pro-German sympathies, informed the children that if they knew what the Sters and Stripes stood for they would not want to display it in their school room and introduced F. W. W. songs and debates into entertainments. While adjudged guilty of these acts by the local board "immorality" was declared to be the only legal grounds upon which her discharge could be effected. The Oklahoma State Council of Defense was appealed to and the defense council asked help from the attorney general. After citing the law the attorney general says: "In my opinion a teacher with an attitude toward our government as shown in the letter sent in is not capable of teaching history or government or that morality that is defined by the law and this disqualification would have prevented the issuance of a certificate by any board or official in the first instance. If this condition of mind would not have amounted to a disqualification which would have justified the withholding of the certificate in the first instance, it would justify its revocation now, and I therefore advise that the certificate held by this teacher and all others entertainig similar views be revoked at once." Oklahoma City, Okla., Jan. 23. (Special) Many Oklahoma young women who are anxious to enter active Red Cross work at the front and for home service have applied for information regarding enlistment in the service as trained nurses. Miss Lyde W. Anderson, director of the nursing service of the Amer- ican Red Cross, St. Louis, Mo., has advised the Oklahoma State Council of defense that her section is badly in need of a large number of trained workers for war relief. Trained nurses desiring to enroll for the Red Cross should apply to the secretary of the nearest local Red Cross committee for the necessary application blanks. Those desiring general information regarding Red Cross work should address Chairman, National Committee on Nursing Service, Washington. To be eligible for enrollment, the applicant must be in good health, between the ages of 21 and 45 years, a graduate of a god high or private school and must be a graduate of a school for nurses giving at least a two years' course in a general hospital. HOME FOLKS MUST BE PROTECTED Families of Oklahoma Enlisted Men Should Insist Upon War Life Insurance. Oklahoma City, Okla., Jan. 23. —(Special)—The family of every man who has entered the army or navy from Oklahoma should be protected by the war life insurance offered at extremely low rates by the government. Uncle Sam is anxious to issue such a policy to every enlisted and selected man and has called upon the Oklahoma State Council of Defense to urge every family to insist upon the war or father taking out war insurance. The time for issuing solitions and sailors' insurance expires February 12, and one million men yet remani unprotected. This action is taken not only for rthe protection of dependent ones at home but in order to remove from the fighting men in France every possible source of worry. Those who stay at home are therefore urged to insist up on war insurance being taken out immediately, as the time is short. Dewey McCormick, and another little colored boy, both of Muskogee, have shown their patriotism by running away from home and joining the army. They are now at Newport News, Va. It is in the blood and you can't keep them down. There are several boys in our High School who are anxious to join the aviation corps and these boys should be given a chance. We hope the doors of the aviation school are thrown wide open to all patriotic Americans regardless of color or creed. and Loss of Appetite general at strengthening tonic JBS call TONIC, drives on up the system.
