Wheat hoarders are getting in
bad with the ir slackerism.
Thousnds of bushels are being
seized over the country and the
owners are being made to pay
all expenses of hauling the
wheat to market, to donate lib-
erally to the Red Cross and to
buy Liberty Bonds.
The inch and a half of rain
that fell here last Saturday and
Sunday was certainly a God
send to this community. Prior
to that time crop conditions
were anything but promising.
Pastures had not brought forth
enough grass to furnish any
grazing and none of thy spring
crops were mak:ng any tiotitable
growth. Things have changed
as if by magic since. Even the
wheat has made a wonderful ad-
vancement and spring crops and
pastures are greening up and
the day is not far distant when
cattle will not look at a fork of
dry feed. It was a glorious rain
and in the warm sunshine that
has followed the birds are sing-
ing; the air is laden with the
perfume of locust bloom and
fragrant roses Oklahoma is a
great state to live in and Cash-
ion is in the center of it.
I To Edward Paisley
You, Edward, are the first of
j our neighborhood boys to make
| the great sacrifice. While you
I did not meet the Hun face to
I face and fall by a sword thrust,
j never the less, you did your part
'and your efforts were felt by
I those fiendish hordes that
| trampled the life out of Belgium
land are carrying their hellish-
j ness into France. Like you,
j other boys have fell to that grim
reaper, and like you they are
heroes, as they spoke their love
of country in actions and the
monuments that this great na-
tion will raise to the fallen of
her victorious armies when the
kaiser and his followers are made
to bite the dust, will include
you and your comrads who fell,
not on the battle line in France,
| but going over the top in will-
! ingness and patriotism in Amer-
| ica, and posterity will bless you
and give thanks to God for your
I having lived and for the great
I part you played in this great
conflict.

The Commitee on Public Infor-
mation has recently issued a
phamplet "The Kaiserites In
America" in which they accuse
the Kaiserites of telling lies.
All loyal Americans have long
since conceded that the corner
stone of the German govern-
ment is a lie and is laid in a
mortar of deceit. A thief is
always a liar and usually a liar
is a thief. The Kaiser and 1 is
co-partners in crime are th'e . es
in the fullest sense of the word,
therefore that they are liars
goes without saying saying, and
that their agents in America
would use the same method is
but natural.
