Olrector of Education
Oklahoma City
IUBERTT BOND
The Home Circle
By or Idabel Lady
T.X Y OKLAHOMANS WIPE
V.'HEAT OFF THEIR MENUS
Hundreds of Oklahoma citizens
have gone the Food Administration
me better than it requested. They
not only have returned their Hour and
marketed their wheat, but they have
refused to take even the six pound
ir.or/hly allowance of flour and are
using substitutes entirely.
This is the response of the patriota
of Oklahoma to the call of Hoover for
every possible ounce of flour and
every extra bushel of wheat. Car-
oads of wheat and flour are leaving
Oklahoma for the muddy flelds of
Picardy.
Oklahoma people are coming to
realize that those who remain behind
should be willing to do without wheat
"our; that if they are safe and are
enjoying the good things of life In
every way, they should give up a few
of the things that are not necessary
for them to have but are necessary
for the boys at the front. At the
present rate, it is predicted that prao
tlcaily all of Oklahoma will soon be
on an entirely substitute basis. Noth,
ing could better convince the world
that we mean to go through thla waf
to the end than for every Oklahoman
to adopt a wheatless menu thres
times each day.
I You may be one of many peo-
: pie, anxious to do your share
towards helping Uncle Sam
beat the Hun, but are in doubt
just how to proceed, and the de-
tails concerning Liberty Bonds
may be a little vague to you.
For the benefit of all, a few
facts may clear things up.
The Bonds, guaranteed by
the United States Government,
and consequently the safest in-
vestment in the world, are of
the .following values:—$50.00,
$100.00, $500.00, $1,000.00, $5,-
000 and $10,000.00.
The interest at the rate of
4K% per annum is payable on
September 15, 1918, on March
15, 1919, and thereafter on
each September 15th and March
15th.
The Bonds are redeemable
in gold on September 15, 1928.
Sign the application form
which you can obtain from any
banker or Liberty Loan sales-
man.
You can pay for your bond in
full at the time of your appli-
cation.
FOOD ADMINISTRATION
TO OKLAHOMA CITY
The Food Administration is now
located In the state capitol building
in Oklahoma City.
Judge C. B. Ames has been appoint-
ed by Hoover to succeed Dr. Stratton
P Brooks an State Food Admlnis
trator.
The retiring administrator has per-
fected a loyal and energetic organ,
lzatlon that haa carried through th«
food pledge campaign so successfully
»s to place this state fourth in rank
in the nation. Through hie ability to
meet people, he has succeeded in put
ting over other programs and In lining
np all organisations solidly behind the
Food Administration. Increasing
duties at the University forced Dr.
Brooks to request that he be per
mitted to retire from the work.
The appointment of Judge Ames to
succeed Dr. Brooks Is a bappy one.
His work as chairman of the Liberty
loan campaign committee has not
been surpassed in the nation. He is
a man of broad vision, of legal train-
ing and realizes the Importance of
food conservation.
Oklahoma has reasons to be proud
of her two food administrators
If you would rgther pay by
installments you cpn pay the
banker or salesman 5% of the
amount of the Bond you intend
to purchase, that is $5.00 on
every $100.00, and pay the bal-
ance as follows:—
:
FOOD BRIEFS
Pontotoc county has twenty-flvs
painted food signs, lumber and work
being donated by local citizens.
The Food Administration has seized
considerable wheat that was being
hoarded in Arizona.
Oklahoma’s drive on the Jack^rah
bits has caused as much comment in
the east as anything she has done lg
the way of aiding Rze food program.
We need not have a concave front
so long as there are plenty of good
substitutes in this state.
The simple life is also the patriotic
one nowadays.
When you sit down to a meal think
of the allies who withstand Zeppellg ;
raids and lie down with empty atom
schs.
Hand down to your posterity the
heritage (hat you helped in this great
war by saving food to feed the aol
dlers and the allies.

j The Bonds bear interest from
j May 9th, 1918, so if you buy
on the installment plan you
will be asked to add to your
August payment the small
amount of interest you are not
entitled to, owing to the fact
that the Government has not
had the use of the full amount
of your subscription until you
made the final payment. The
amount involved is so small
that it is not worth consider-
ing.
The money you pay for the
Bonds and the interest you re-
ceive on them is free from tax-
ation, except Inheritance Tax,
and the surtaxes on large in-
comes. A man must be very
wealthy before his interest of
4''4% is reduced by even one-
half of one per cent, so to the
average citizen the Bonds are
! tax free.
Arrangements have been
made to deliver Bonds at a few
days notice as soon as they are
paid for in full.
There are two kinds of
Bonds—Coupon and Registered.
Coupon Bonds bear Coupons
which you tear ofT and ex-
change for interest money at
your bank or Post Office. Reg-
istered Bonds have no Coupons,
but the interest is mailed to
you twice yearly. Up to the
$10,000.00 value Bonds you can
take your choice as to which
you will buy.
Bonds of $50,000.00 and
$100,000.00 are issued but must
be registered.
Your application must be in
by May 4, 1918. The Govern-
ment speciaily asks you how-
ever to place your order before
this date.
Many banks are willing to ar-
range for a small payment
down, and monthly payments
for the balance. This of course,
is for the benefit of those who
; do not at the moment, have th6
j ready funds to pay for their
bonds in full.
The main thing, of course, is
to get busy immediately on
some basis, for the emergency
is urgent, and it must not be said
that we are not ready to follow
with our money, the boys that
are ready to fight our battles
"over there.”
CITY ATTRACTIONS.
The illustration of the sea-bird
drawn to its doom by the glare of the
beacon light finds no truer' phototype
than in the case of the country girl
Hired from her home by dreams of
fortune to be realized in the great
city. As ignorant of the wiles of
evil as the mouse is of the mechanism
of a trap, unsophisticated in the
blandishments of sins; holding blank-
ly to the belief that sheep and goats
never mingle she dorps into a mail-
strom of a city existence as a snow-
flake settles into the river. “One
moment white, then gone forever."
There lie in wait for innocence, the
wide world over, a legion of plotting
devils arrayed in livery of light, hon-
est appearing advertisements that
are tent hooks with which the devil
angles for souls; employers who
scarcely take the pains to hide the
fangs of wolves behind their smiling
lips; boarding houses infested with
other and more hideous vermin than
the rat and the roach; companionship
of more fatal effect to the soul than
hydrant water to the health; counsel-
lors who spin viewless webs and plot
ruin as the spider works destruction
to the stupid fly. All these, and a
(treat many more pitfalls lie in the
way of the country girl as she turns
her light step from the cowslip and
the green turf to take her place in
the ranks of those who walk the path
of daily toil.
In the ideal home the ruling princi-
ple will be love. Love to the Supreme
Ruler of the universe and love for
each member of the family. Here the
golden rule will be followed in all the
intercourse of one with another. Per-
fect harmony exists between the par-
ents in regard to the management of
household affairs and the training of
the children. The same rules of
courtesy will be observed that we ex.
pect to find in society.
Girls, listen to your mothers; you
will never regret it. No matter what
your advantages are above what hers
were, you are no better. You can rest
assured that it is no book learning or
knowledge of fashion that will keep
your feet away from the many pitfalls
that she can warn you from, in a
tender, loving fashion, that you
would do well ito heed. No matter
how mothers may speak, you may
rest assumed their hearts are in the
right place, and that they want their
daughters to be innocent and good,
rather than fashionable.
Better appreciate your mother be-
fore your appreciation of her will be
no kindness to her, and the post mor-
tem regrets will be more and more of
an agony as the years pass on. Big
headstones of polished Aberdeen and
the best epitaphs which the family
put together could compose and a
garland of whitest roses from the
conservatory are often the attempt
to atone for the thanks we ought to
have uttered in living have done more
good than all the calla lilies ever piled
up on the silent mounds of the cem-
eteries.
The different between good and
bad mothers, is so vast and far-
reaching that it is no exaggeration
to say that the good mothers of this
generation are building the homes of
the next generation, and the bad
mothers are building the prisons. For
out of families nations are made;
and if the father be the head and the
hands of the family, the mother is the
heart. No office in the world is so
honorable as hers, no priesthood so
holy, no influence so sweet and strong
and lasting.
Oh, gather all charms Into your
house! If you can afford it, bring
books and pictures and cheerful en-
tertainments to the househlod. Btu
above all, teach those children, not
by half an hour twice a year on the
Sabbath day, but day after day and
every day teach them that religion is
a great gladness, that it throws
chains of gold about the neck, and it
takes no spring from the foot, no
blitheness from the heirt, no sparkle
from the eye, no ring from tbe
laughter, but that “her ways are
ways of pleasantness, and all her
paths are peace.”
The virtues grow about the home.
They cluster, bloom and shed their
perfume around the fireside. Love,
husband, wife, father, mother, child
and home—without those words the
world would be a barren wilderness,
and men and women but brutish
beasts.
When a man in search of a home or
business location goes to a town and
finds everybody full of hope and en-
thusiasm over the prospects of the
place he, too, son becomes imbued
with the same spirit, drives down his
stakes and goes to work with equal
interest.
A great helper to gladness is a
j>*PPy home. Many of us would never
be flble, day after day, to face life
with its struggles, its duties, its an-
tagonisms, were it not for the re-
newal of strength, which we get in
our home.
A hovel is often more a home than
a palace. If the spirit of congenial
friendship links not the hearts of the
inmates of a dwelling it is not a
home.
In a world where God lets the sun
shine, the birds sing and the flowers
make happy love to each other, man
should not be the only saddened ob-
ject.
There are too many fathers who
will tie up the dog at night and let
the boy run loose.
