THE NEED or ECONOMY AND
SAVING
WHAT CONSTITUTES
A VIOLATION or
riSH AND GAME LAWS
The Baited Htatea ia now at war. A
large pan of our country’s human en-
ergy in taken away from the far as.
factories, and industries of pence, and
until the war ends rll their energies
will be devoted tc fighting.
A great portion of our productive
energy is being turned into the crea-
tion of implements of destruction-
Many of our products are now being
devoted to purposes of war. Destruc-
tion instead of construction is the ob-
ject of a gm«t portioa of tbs country’s
energy.
An much of the human energy and
productive capacity of the Nation are
now being devote^ to the purposes of
war, so should the proper amount of
the money of the United States be so
devoted. He who offers his life for
his country is offering the greatest
possible sacrifice, but the American
men and women who support the Gov-
ernment with their money arc doing
their part.
This war is going to be financed
largely out of the savings of the Am-
erican people during the war. It is
not too great a sacrifice to make for
one’s country in time of war to deny
one’s self luxuries, to cut down un-
necessary expenses, to lead quieter and
busier lives. Not only, will the money
thus sgved and used to buy Liberty
Loan Bonds help the United States but
the diminished. consumption of food
and other articles will do much to re-
lieve the country from the strain of
war.
The less the people use the less
•train there is upon the productive ca-
pacity of the Nation and the more can
be devoted to winning the war; the
more the people save the more liberal
financial support can they give the
Government. This is the people’s war,
and it is to be financed by the Am-
erican people, not by the rich aud not
by the poor, but by the rich and the
poor, the capitalist and the wage earn-
er, the miner Hnd the farmer nud the
n *>nufacturer.
HOW THE MONEY IS SPENT.
Subscribers to the recent $2,000,000,-
000 issue of liberty bonds and intend-
ing subscribers to the second liberty
Joan are interested in knowing just
bow the money obtained is used. A
large amount of money is necessary to
maintain the Navy, which has been
c. lied iqioy. to defend our coast anu
our coquatnee from attack.
To jWttvilic Navy on a war basis,
every ship In reserve had to be fully
manned'liv'd commissioned. Many aux-
iliary vessels also bad to lie added.
On AprY/'A there were •>■!,.SO0 enlist-
ed men; WDJW there are more than 136,-
000. lqt.n)ldition. we have enlisted
more tl/aji 35.000 reserves and there
are 10,OM) National Naval Volunteers
in service.
Contracts have been placed for ev-
ery desttoyVr and submarine chaser
that tile shipyards of the country can
build, had Hew '-records are expected
in construhtiofa. All this is in addi-
tion to the battleships; the
five battle eruiscVk of 35,000 tons
each,the largest and swiftest war ves-
sels ever built; the six scout cruisers
and many auxiliary craft for which we
have made contracts.' These will be
built as early as possible, but the
right of wav in construction is being
given to destroyers and small craft.
Since the day war was declared the
Navy has patrolled our own coasts.
For coast defenses scores of vessels
have been secured—yachts, fishing
vessels, fast motor boats, and other
minor craft, aud others are being ad-
ded to this force as rapidly as possible.
The Navy has sent to France a corps
of aviators, who arrived on June 8, the
first contingent of the regular armed
forces of the United States to land on
French soil. , The Aeronautic Corps hss
been greatly enlarged, aviation bases
established along the coast, and offi-
cers and men trained in the operation
of seaplanes, dirigible balloons, and
• other types of aircraft. An additional
In line with National Conservation
of Food, the State Game and Fish De
partment is endeavoring to repopulate

fish. Two fish hatcheries are already
putting forth every effort to supply
young fish to the farmers nnd for the
streams of the State. Four or more
game preserves will be established it.
the near future for the propagation of
not only animals, but for the propa-
gation of pheasants, quails, partridges

be apportioned oqt .among the farmer*
of the State. The Department is %»k

forcing the -tow ib thnl game and fish
may h«v# an opportunity to propagate
themselves. Most people desire to obey
the law. and many laws are broken
because of the fattt that those break
ing them do not know of it. Below is
a condensed list of law violations
which all good citizens will avoid:
It is a violation of law:'
To sell or offer for sale any game
animal or game bird or non-game bird
or part thereof. Squirrels and rabbits
are not classified as game animals.
To transport beyond the boundaries
o' the State eny game, animal, game

pant.

(Migratory birds from sunset to sun-

of season. (Note—Write State Game
Warden for new laws.)
> To hunt without license except on

To seine nnv of the rivets, poads or
lakes of the State. (A few rivers uam
ed in the law are scinahle exeept for

To dynamite or poison fish.

wood-duck, crane, pelican, gull, heron
and all insectivorous birds.
To sell, or possess for sale aigrettes,
egret plumes, osprey plumes, feathers,
quills, heads, wings, tails, skins or
parts of skins of wild birds.
It is lawful:
To kill at any time, in any manner.
English sparrows, hawks, owls, buz-
zards, jay birds, black birds, crows,
because they arc not insectivorous, but
live off of the farmer and kill other
birds and animals.
There is no closed season on rabbits,
squirrels and doves.

“ THE ROLL OF HONOR.”
The term “Roll of Hour” is attain-
ing a new significance. Churches,
lodges, fraternities, clubs, organiza-
tions of all kinds, everywhere, nre
starting tiiese “Rolls of Honor.
They are made up of members who
have either volunteered or have been
s leeted in the draft to bottle for their
country.
The practice should be followed
throughout Oklahoma. Not only should
tin* names be announced in meetings
but they should be made a part of the
permanent records of every organiza-
tion in the state. This is due the boys
who go. In later years there will be
other rolls of honor, made up of the
organizations that furnished the lnrgest
number of their members for this
greatest war of all history.

To the cad that there may be co-
operation and co ordination of -effort
among public health official* and phy-
sician* throughout the entire country
a ”w*r meeting” will be held at
Washington, D. C., Oct. 17-20, by the
American Dublin Health Association.
This meeting will replace the annual
meeting of the association whiob w»*
to have been held et New Orleans,
Dec. 2 4, 1917. The papers and confer-
ences at Washington will deal largely
with the health problems created by
the sir—the food supply, communic-
able diseases among soldier*, war and
icueral disease, war and the health
of the civil population.
President Wilson has said “It i* not
at: armv we must shape and train for
war; it is a nation.” It ie expected
that the conference will be attended,
by men prominent in health work fro#
.every section of the country. It is
likely that the experi^nor of this coun:>
try will resemble that of Canada, rath-
er than- of the'nations across the At-
lantic. After the war hnd been in
progress for a short time Canada
found that it was facing serious
health problems, which affected, almost
every community. This country has
not vet begun to feci the, real effects
of the war. When it doc* the coop-
eration of every community will be re-
quired to meet the health problems
which will arise.
TO LENGTHEN LIFE.
The life of no individual is a fixed,
immutable span. Barring accidents its
length depends to a large degree upon
the care taken to conserve health.
Fifteen'years is the average length of
time which may be added to life. This
statement has been made as the result
of an extended investigation conducted
in many sections of the country under
the direction of the Life Conservation
Commission.
Learning how to live is the ue.cret
of how one may add 15 years to hi*
life. Individual hygiene or the hy-
giene of personal habits contains, .pos-
sibilities of self improvement far be-
yond what 99 out of 100 have ever real-
ized. In other words, only one per
cent of the people today know absolu-
tely how to live, or at least apply that
knowledge. The other 99 are victims
of more or less improper living habits.
They have not learned to order their
lives according to their physical needs.
They Hre content to tolerate bad air,
bad food, imperfect teeth, wrong post-
ure, improper clothing, constipation,
self drugging, alcoholism and other im-
proper conditions of life. Not all the
99 per cent to be. sure suffer troin all
these evils, but all endure one or more
of them.
The 99 per cent who have not learn-
ed and put into practice the right meth-
od of living are responsible for the
increase of 41 per cent in the country’s
death rate from what are known as
“wear and tear” diseases in twenty
years. AVear and tear diseases are
sometime called the by product of civ-
ilization; not that civilization is all
wroug, but that people have not yet
learned to adjust their modes of life
to its demands.
PUTTING SCHOOL IN ORDER.

the health viewpoint that sehoolbouses
