Draft Resisters
Chickasha, Ok., Sept. 15.—Eleven
men, mostly farmers, in the vicinity
of Alex, in this county, were arrested
today by Sheriff Hodge Bailey of this
county on a charge of being members
of an organization to resist the draft
law. The officers claim they have evi-
dence tending to prove that there was
a concerted movement to resist the
draft law and that a number of meet-
ings were held, most of which were
heljl in the woods on cloudy nights. The
officers also claim members were
sworn to secrecy and pledged them-
selves not only to resist military ser-
vice, but to attempt to keep other peo-
pie from going.
The following men were arrested:
John W. Weatherford, Jay and Acy
Andrews, E. S. Callings, O. B. Wil-
son, John Foster, Earnest and Cor-
nelius Atkins, Zebedia Stevens, Law-
rence Stevens and Otis Phillips.'
Soldier's Letters
The Daily Transcript is i receipt of ]
a letter from the War Department!
requesting it not to publish any let-1
ters written by soldiers in the camps j
or at the front. In accordance there-
with, no more such letters will be
published. The idea is that the letters, j
no matter how innocent they may be '
may inadvertently give information'
that might be of advantage to the en-j
emy, and with spies everywhere,!
ready and anxious to earn their mon-'j
ey, .uch information might get to
the Germans.

Rucker's Exhibits
A Fashion Display That Attracted a
Large Audience and Was Well
"Worth While"—A Dozen
Beautiful Live Models
The Fashion Display made by the
W. N. Rucker store on Saturday night
was well worth while and attracted a
large audience of ladies and gentle-
men. It was a showing of the beau-
tiful new fashions in coats, cloaks,
gowns, dresses, skirts, etc., that would
have been a credit to a much larger
city than Norman, and demonstrated
how thoroughly excellent and com-
plete the Rucker stock is. Dozens of
gowns, cloaks and coats in all the
new models were shown, and shown to
perfection, in the most approved and
attractive manner
NUMBER 93.
The show" was made In the large
show windows of the store, which had
been especially arranged for the oc-
casion, large French mirrors covering
back and sides of the windows, giving
the spectators a most comprehensive
and complete view of the exhibits. In-
Can He Do It
Today Bennie Owen, the taciturn
Sooner football mentor, begins in earn-
est on the task of building anew the
university foot ball machine; starts
all over on the construction work
which he and all of the faithful fol
lowers thought he had completed
when the season closed with that bril
liant victory over the Aggies, but
which the needs of Uncle Sam in the
war with Germany tore down dur
ing the past spring and summer.
What will the result be? is the
question that is agitating the minds
of the many followers. Is Owen equal
to the occassion? they are asking
themselves and will the Sooners make
a showing that will be a cred'itable
one in the face of one of the heaviest
schedules that has ever been attempt-
ed.
On the shoulders of probably a half
dozen letter men and the returning
freshmen rests the honor of O. U. on
the gridiron; little is expected from
others.
Probably the biggest task that

Purcell, Noble, Guthrie and Norman.

beautiful creation, giving the onlook

line and this year it means a super-
human one since the backfield will
be composed of light men who will
need all the protection that a husky
bunch of forwards can afford. In the
backfield the men who return are
some who have been through the fire,
thus affording the coach quite a bit
of assistance in his task. Among
these are Graham Johnson, Graham
McDermott and possibly Wilmoth and
Von Tungeln. Along with these there
will be Davis, the star freshman back,

Wages Raised
Realizing that the high cost of liv-
ing worked a hardship on employees,
the Norman Milling and Grain Co!
on May 1st voluntarily gave all its
men a raise of 12% cents on the dol-
lar, and Saturday, Sept, 15th, notified
them that another raise of the same
amount was coming to them. Thus
men who got $2.00 on the 1st of May
are now receiving $2.50, and all other
employees in proportion. They talk
about "Soulless Corporations," but
Quite a task on the surface, but the
students are confident that Bennie
Owen can take care of it as none oth-
er could and all are looking forward
to a "successful" season in spite of
the many handicaps.
—To the Ladies of Norman: We
will be glad to remodel your last fall
suit for you. We can make itolook like
a 1917-style. The times are hard, but
we can save you money if you bring
your garments to us. H. (1. Green-
man, The Tailor.
