BP A LIBERTY LOAN BOND
They are absolutely safe and sound,
draw 3'/-* per cent, interest; and are non-
taxable. They are a splendid investment, in
addition to the fact that you show your
loyalty to your country by subscribing
for one.
It is the duty and privilege of every loyal citizen to buy
a Liberty Loan bond, and every loyal and patriotic citizen
will do so.
Arrangements are now being made to issue buttons to
every buyer of a bond with inscription thereon:
I Have Purchased
My Liberty Bond.
Have You?
and anyone who does
not wear one of these
buttons will be regarded
as a "Slacker."
It is also being arranged to reduce the denomination of
the bonds to $10, and maybe $5.00, so that no one can or
will have anv excuse not to buv. The present denominations
are $50, $100, $500, $1,000 and upwards to $100,000.
See any of the banks of the city for full particulars. Any
and all of them will subscribe for you without charge for
services. You do not have to pay for them all at once, but
you can buy them on the installment plan. $14,500,000 has
been named as Oklahoma's proportion of the bond issue.
Norman citizens must do their part.

Congress can not raise sufficient

Putting up a prescription is not
merely taking four or five kinds of
medicine, pouring them in a bottle
and giving them a shake. Frequently
it takes knowledge of the greatest
skill to mix medicines properly to get
the results the physician desires. In
urgent cases when powerful med-
icines must be used, the doses must I
be accurately divided in capsules or j
powders. If the prescription be a j
liquid, care must be taken so that
the powerful medicine will not be
precipitated In the bottom of thej
bottle, but will be mixed so that each I
teaspoon will have the correct dose. I
An emulsion, if properly mixed, |
may be palatable and easy to take; if
badly made, disgusting and nauseat-
ing. Care, honesty, and knowledge
must be used at every stage of the
prescription business.

Bailey-Denten
The wedding of Mr Ed Bailey and
Miss Birdie Denten was solemnized at
the home of the groom's mother in
South Norman on Wednesday eve-
ning, (May 1G) in the presence of a
few intimate friends and relatives.
The groom is a reliable young
man of fine ability and is the nineteen
year old son of Mrs. E. L. Bailey of
•512 East Symmes. The bride is a
charming girl, the eighteen-year old
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Den-1
ten of Moore, Okla., and was dressed
in a beautiful white taffeta and silk
net wedding gown.
The house was decorated in beauti-
ful roses and ferns. A cousin of the
groom played "Meldenshon's Wedding
March." Mr. Albert Short was the
best man with Miss Mary Finchum
as bridesmaid. Little Alice Mae
Carmieal was the flower girl, and
carried a basket of rose buds and |
ferns. Many warm
Students' Dress
A resolution signed by all the
women's clubs of the city and repre-
sentatives of the churches was pre-
sented to the Board of Education last
night, asking it to decree that some
simple uniform costume for the stu-
dent boys should be adopted, sug-
gesting khaki, and a similar uniform
costume for the girls, to be de-
termined by themselves. The resolu-
tion was adopted, and the coming
school year will see the boys and
girls dressed accordingly. The girls
meet this afternoon to decide upon
their costume.
Mrs. J. B. Cheadle has had charge
of the work of arousing sentiment in
favor of it, and is enthusiastically in
favor of it.

Would Make
Motion Dry
' From the Outlook.
There are a numfcer of those who
are coming to believe that if the idea
of putting a dry zone around our mili-
tary camps is a good one, the idea of
putting a dry zone around the United
States is a better one. Massachusetts,
which has never been regarded by the
Western and Southern States as a
stronghold of prohibition, recently wit
nessed a striking expression of the
sentiment of the leading citizens of
Massachusetts towards the abolition
of the liquor traffic.
A delegation which included such
men as Dr. Charles W. Eliot, presi-
dent emeritus of Harvard; the Rt.
Rev. William Lawrence, bishop of
Massachusetts; Prof. Thomas N.
Carver of Harvard University, the
chaplain of the state grange, the
president of the Boston Associated
Charities and Maj. Henry L. Higgin-
son, appeared before Governor Mc-
Call, asking him to appeal to Con-
gress to enact a prohibition law for
the period of the war. Bishop Law-
rence said:
The change in public sentiment on
prohibition has been simply enormous.
There is the question of economy of
grain and other products, the ques-
tion of drawing men now mnnufactur-
ing liquors into munitions and all
kinds of production, the question of
saving money in police, jails, and
alms houses, the question of cre-iting !
a n.ere efficient and thoroukhty heal-
thy body of troops. All tl -so '.nint*s|
are going to strike home liard for t
pri hiTmion.
Dr. Charles W. Eliot pointed out
the need of protecting the health of
our armies by the prohibition of j
alcoholic drink:
The greatest sap of the efficiency
of an army in the present war in
Europe is venereal diseases. Before
prostitution and brothels always goes
the saloon or the free chance to get
a drink. As a military measure we
want prohibition first of the saloon
and next of the brothel. Here is a |
chance to use the military power of |
the government to prevent these
enormous evils which exist wherever
large numbers of young men are
gathered together separated from
the usual restraints of home and
friendly neighbor.
The experience of the Canadian
and Australian troops after they ar
rived in England and now on the
French front demonstrates the fact
that venereal disease is one of the
worst enemies of the efficiency of an
army.
The growing tide of such testi-
mony as this from all parts of the
country is very impressive.

School Tax Carries
There was a small vote polled at
the election yesterday to vote a five
per cent, additional levy for school
purposes, but except in outlaying
precinct the vote was almost unani-1
mously for it. The totals were 178 for
to 28 against.
By precincts the vote was:
First Ward—Yes, 34; No, 5.
Second—Yes, 25; No, 0.
Third—Yes, 79; No, 5.
Fourth—Yes, 2G; No, 5.
Johnson Corner—Yes, 14; No, 13. :
But the vote was sufficient, ami the
Board can now go ahead and make
arrangements for the nine-month's
school.
Sapulpa defeated a similar propo-
sition yesterday, but just because of
carelessness. That city has a voting
population of 1900, but only 53 votes
were polled, of which 20 were "for"
and 27 "against."

A Gibson refrigerator will save you in ice bills one
summer a good share of the cost of the refrigerator.
If the ice in your refrigerator melts fast, it's because
the ice chest is not properly built.
This Gibson shown above is made with double walls or
cases, with charcoal sheating, especial prepared felt,
mineral wood, and a dead air space between these
wells, the insulation is as near perfect as it is possible
to secure in any refrigerator.
