NUMBER 21.1.
$100 Pr Month
Washington, May 3.—Candidates
for training at the officers' reserve
camps are to receive a flat pay of $100
per month while serving their pro-
bationary period, with stipulation
that in consideration of receiving the
money they shall accept a commission
for the grade tendered by the Secre-
tary of War. This agreement reached
by the conferees on the army ap-1
propriation bill today settles the vexa- j
tious question of how the candidates I
for commissions were to meet their I
fixed chargs while away from civil
employment. In addition, they are
to be given travel allowances, sus-
sistence and a uniform at the ex-
pense of the government/The tefrm of
enlistment at the camps is three
months, by which time the candidate
will have demonstrated whether he
possesses qualifications that would
make him an officer, but if there is
a manifestation meanwhile that none
of the grades can be accomplished it
is probable the department will or-
der the candidate discharged.
Officers already commissioned in
the reserve corps, who have been or-
dered to attend th camps, will re-
ceive pay and allowances of their
ranks.
Some disappointment is expressed
at the department that responses for
training in the camps have not been
Takes $25,000. (
The Security State Bank of Nor-1
man telegraphed the national treas-
ury department yesterday that it
would take $25,000 of the Liberty
loan bonds.
200 Graduates

as great as was hoped for, and prob-
ably a statement will be issued from
the War Department urging all men
of military experience to offer them-
selves. It is roughly estimated that
not more than 20 per cent, of those
attending the first c'amps will develop
talent sufficient to bring them com-
missions.
The regulations fix the age limits
for this service between 20 years and
y months and 44 years. There seems to
be an abundance of those who will
make the grade of Second Lieutenant
and a prospective number of First
Lieutenant, but there promises a
shortage of eligibles for Captain and
Major, which is the maximum grade
offered under this service. Work" of a
Captain is executive as well as mili-
tary, the same being true touching the
rank of Major. The situation appears
to be thrown somewhat out of balance
in that those offering in large num-
bers are either very young or too old,
since age as well as ability count in
the grade to be attained.
I Nearly 200 students will re'je'.-e
! their degrees at commencement
J which will be held on June 5 at
I 10:30 according to an annou ce-
:nen^ issued Thursday^. The speaker
; for the 25th annual commencement
! will be f'urtis Lee Lawr, editor of the
j Watchman Examiner The university
! authorities consider themselves very
; fortunate in securing his service* as
! speaker.
Of course the number of stu lents
1 who will attend the commencmc nt
exercises will not be as large us ii:
| previous years due to the fact that
i nearly half of the graduates have
enlisted in the officers training
camps and will be at work daring
the cot iniencement week.
The list of the students who hav*j
filled out all the blanks in the reg-
istrars office show that 81 will re-
ceive B. A. degrees, 3 B. M., 9 B. S.,
16 LL. B., 7 M. A., and 5 Ph. G.
Assistant Registrar Kibler estimated
that nearly 100 seniors have, not
checked up their credits and urges
niors to call at the office at
once.

Great Institution.
C. C. Williams, in sending his
yearly renewal to The Transcript,
writes from Fort Collins, Colo., ab t
the (ireat Western Sugar com pan;.* of
that city, with which he is connectrd-
"This is a great country and we
like it very much.
"Have by far the best position I
ever had. I am with th Great Western
Su^ar company, which owns and op-
erates thirteen factories in Northern
Colorado, Northwestern Nebraska,
Wyoming and Montana.
This factory is one of the largest of
the thirteen, and to give you a small
idea of its business will say that last
season (1916-17), they paid out one
million and a half dollars for sugar
beets at this point and made about
nine hundred thousand 100 pound
sacks of sugar. Some sugar, eh ? They
employ about 800 men at the Fort
Collins factory, and grind 100 tons of
beets an hour.
Thousands of cattle and sheep are
fed here on the pulp from the beets,
so with the grain and alfalfa, etc, all
go to make this a very prosperous
country."
—Souvenir Flag: A 'souvenir flag
will be presented to very person
making a purchase from 6:30 to 8:^0
tonight. Be patriotic and take a
flag on Rucker.

Robbers Active
El Reno, Okla., May 3.—At 2 o'clock
this morning two masked men forced
Dr. D. P. Richardson, postmaster at
Union City and president of the
Bank of Union, to accompany them to
the bank and open the vault. The safe
was guarded by a time lock. The rob-
bers obtained only about $75 in the
bank. Next they visited the postoffice
where they obtained a lot of stamps,
and the Richardson drug store, where
they secured a lot of valuable old
coins.
The robbers then took Dr. Richard-
son to the freight yard, bound him and
locked him in a box car. He was dis-
covered there this morning. The rob-
bers are still at large.
—Kiddine will do what no other
cleaner will for your white kid shoes.

Norman Wins Debate
Before an audience that filled the
Franing the Norman high school de
haters—Hyde, Montgomery and Pru-
ett— were declared champions of Ok-
lahoma in that line, and each of them
was given a gold medal and the
school they represent a gold shield.
Their opponents were the Waynoka
team, and were really fine debaters,
so Norman's victory was really de-
served. The question wus on the
Monroe doctrine, Norman taking the
affirmative. The boys have won sev-
eral victories, representing both the
negative and affirmative and are
thoroughly well posted on the ques-
tion.
