U. S. INFANTRYMAN
FINDS HIS FATHER
AMONG PRISONERS
[By United Press.]
WITH THE AMERICAN
ARMIES IN FRANCE, Aug.
2.—An infantryman, bringing
in a squad of prisoners, was
startled to find his own father
among them.
The young American I -ubtcd
the German's identity until
enough confidential informa-
tion was disclosed to convince
him the man was his father
who had returned to German
Poland several years before
and had been forced into the
army.
The son immediately loosed a
tirade of good advice against
being a German. Then he
threw his arm about his
father's shoulders and promis-
ed him "the best in tne house."

Once 60 Cents,
Is $12 a Pound
Broom-corn dye, used in the manu- j
facture of brooms, has advanced j
from 60 cents to $12 a pound since
the war has been in progress, accord-
ing to E. Haksteen of Norman, a for-
mer broom-maker, who received a cir- j
eular from a broom supply house
Thursday making new quotations on
materials. Mr. Haksteen remembers
that only a few weeks ago, when he
was making brooms, that the dye
used in coloring them was very easily j
, obtainable. Now it is almost prolnb-
I itively high, since the war has cut off
I the supply, which formerly came
from Germany.
No quotations on the broom corn
itself are made by the supply house.
Mr. Haksteen, who expects to resume
the making of brooms this fall, how-
ever, will get his broom corn from
Cleveland county. He has arranged
with farmers to raise a large supply
for him.
Good stemless broom corn is worth
$GOO a ton, Mr. Haksteen says. He
has on display at the Farmers' Na-
tional bank a sample of corn which
is thirty-four inches in length. This,
he says, is the longest he has ever
seen.

The following is a copy of the no-
tice sent out by Mr. Muldrow to res-
idents of this county:
August 1, 1918 i
To Dealers and Consumers of j
Food Staples in Cleveland
I County;
Beginning Saturday, August ^
1 10, 1918, the Cleveland county ]
fair price committee will publish j
weekly lists giving the prices )
dealers shall charge consumers j
for all staple articles of food.
The margin of retailers' profit
has been fixed on mill feed, flour
and sugar. On mill feed fifteen
cents per hundred pounds from
dealers' station to place of busi-
ness, with five cents per hundred
pounds extra for delivery.
On sugar the basis of profit
has been fixed at one cent per
pound over carrying charges.
The retailers' margin on flour
depends upon the size of the sack
but should not exceed one cent
per pound on a basis of twelve
pound sacks.
The retailers will in the future
be required to make weekly re-
ports to the county food admin-
istration, showing the amount of
sugar sales and the names of the
purchasers, also the cost and the
selling price of all staple arti-
ces of food.
Famiy sugar certificates will
be issued by the dealers as soon
as the same can be furnished by
the food administration, and
purchases of sugar for ordinary
home consumption can be made
only upon certificate and from
the dealer issuing the same. This
is done in order to prevent "re-
peaters," and the name of any
person found indulging in this
practice will be published in the
papers and his certificate revok-
ed.

LONDON, Aug. 2.—Eight hundred
and forty-four enemy airplanes were
. brought' down by the allies during
Use Artillery on Small Scale
j The Germans were able to use their
' own artillery only on the smallest
scale, being compelled to rely upon
machine guns. These were taken one
I by one, notwithstanding the boches'
dogged resistance.
The enemy's casualties during the
day were extremely high. The brav-
i ery of their defense could not be
: questioned, up to the point where it
seemed hopeless. If they disobeyed
these orders to resist to the death,
their commanders know why.
Many Places Taken
| Hill 205, four miles northeast of
1 Oulchy-Le-Chateau, was conquered
I at 6 o'clock. Courdoux ( i mile west
1 of Hill 205), Servenay (2 miles east
J of Courdoux) and Cramosille (a mile
I south of Servenay) fell soon after.
. giving up many prisoners.
The Germans violently counter-at-
{ tacked from Buzancy (eight miles
i north of Oulchy-Le-Chateau) and
L'Eveque wood (just south of Bu-
I zancy) but French infantry broke
1 up their efforts.
Fismes Is Threatened
As the result of the allied success-
es, German positions up to and in-
cluding Fismes (twelve miles north-
east of Cramaille) are menaced
Railroad line and other communica-
tions radiating from that city are
subject to direct fire from our artil-
lery. Fismes has been a great store-
house for German supplies. The ex-
tent to which the enemy has been
able to evacuate this, if at all is not
known.

PRISONER CONFERENCE
TO I5R IN SWITZERI'ANP
I By United Press.1
WASHINGTON, Aug. 2.—Switzer-
land has accepted the presidency of
the American-German prisoner con-
ference to be held this month in
Berne. The Swiss president will per-
sonally open the session, naming a
Swiss official as presiding officer, the
state department announced today.
The personnel of the American del-
;n Oklahoma City for violation of the
regulations. The letter in full is as
follows:
August 12, 1918.
To the Bakers of Cleveland
County:
The rules of the food admin-
istration require that you use
one (1) pound of substitute cer-
eals for every three (3) pounds
of wheat flour in making bread
dough, For other products you
Tiust use one (1) pound of sub-
stitute for every two (2) pounds
of wheat flour.
A few bakers '-eem to think
that their rule of substituion
means one pound of substitute
to four pounds of flour. This is
NOT CORRECT and will not be
tolerated. Three bakeries were
• losed in Oklahoma City last
week for violation of this very
rule. Bakeries are checked
through their weekly reP°rts
and my instructions from the
federal food administration are
mandatory to report all viola-
tions and to require that the
weekly reports be made regular-
There will be no change made
in the amount of substitutes re-
jired without sixty days notice
having previously been given.
Pay no attention to notices go-
ing around about reducing sub-
stitutes; vou will have due and
timely notice of changes in the
rules. ..
When there is any matter
about which you have not had
ear instructions from the
chairman of the baking service
board, do not hesitate to call up-
o'i mv office.
Very trulv yours.
