Red Cross Appeal for Aid
.Membership Campaign, Cleveland
County Chapter Ameri-
can Red Cross.
NEEDS GREATER THAN EVER
5,000 Members in Cleveland County
by November 1, 1917.
Every man, woman and child in
Cleveland county has a duty to per-
form that no one man can do for him.
This is a time when no one has done
his share until he has done all he pos-
sibly can do. The duties and opportun-
ities which confront the American
people, the people of Cleveland coun-
ty have no precedent in history and
are not within human estimate today.
It is not a question of giving. Neither
is it a question of charity. It is a
question of duty. It is a question of
sacrifice—a sacrifice of time, of
strength, of money.
When our men go to France we must
not only prepare to take care of them
when sick and wounded, but they must
Jiave a home somewhere to rest
omewhere to find friendly atmosphere,
when relieved for short intervals
from their grim duties in the trenches.
cost. Just behind the filing line will
be put field canteens which will sup-
ply hot and cold drinks to the men
who are fighting. Many of them now
have nothing to relieve their thirst
except their days rations which they
carry in containers which may be
smashed any minute. Each station
will be able to keep about 125 gallons
of coffee at the boiling point constant-
ly. This requires money. Many famil-
ies of soldiers and sailors must be
given financial assistance. Your dues
will help.
The Red Cross is establishing hos-
pitals all along the line of battle and
in all the home cantonments. Millions
of hospital garments are required.
Cleveland County Chapter has been
asked for over 5000 garments. It will
require thousands of yards of material
to make these garments. With the
constant increase in cost of material
this means many hundreds of dollars.
Your dues will help.
The making of these garments de
pend upon volunteer service from the
women of Norman and Cleveland
county, no organization is responsible
as such, each individual has a duty
The Red Cross must, and it alone can,I and she alone can fulfill it,
become a real foster parent to our
boys while they are in Europe. This
will require money, your due? will
help. When the soldier comes out of
ttie trenches for a rest period he is
mud stained, vermin covered and
reeking with infection.
The Red Cross is putting up bath
houses, laundries and mending and
disinfecting rooms, which, will remove
the menace of dirt and disease when
they begin their rest.
Canteens will be opened at the rail-
road junctions where the men must
v ait enroute, dormitories and lunch
rooms at such places where hot meals
can be bought at a price just above
Come to the Red Cross headquart-
ers over the First National Bank any
afternoon except Saturday, and help
with this work, your work and mine.
Workers are badly needed. We must
get ready for a shipment by October
15th. They are asking from headquart-
ers that we finish this assignment at
once. In addition to the hospital gar-
ments and bandages the Red Cross is
calling for (5,000,000 knitted garments
and 1,000,000 comfort kits by Thanks-
giving.
Come and help, everybody, don't
wait for an invitation, this is not a
social affair, it is dead, hard, earnest
duty for each one.
"Buy A Home"
"Buy a Home" campaign has
been waged in Dallas, with results
that many of the residents of that
city who formerly rented, now own
their homes. One of the arguments
advanced to "Buy a Home," was the
story of the experience of a young
Dallas couple, which is doubtless the
experience of numerous Norman coup-
les. The "Buy a Home" idea is espec-
ially adaptabile to Norman, and a
campaign along this line is always in
order. The Dallas story goes:
"About eleven yars ago a young
couple rented a new cottage on Jun-
ius street, in East Dallas, for $25 per
month. The owner offered to sell them
the place for $3,000, with a cash pay-
ment of $200; but, like many people
who have thought owning their home
was not a paying investment, they de
cided to rent. Being self-respecting
people, they took good care of the
place and added to its attractiveness
in many ways. Consequently, the land-
lord occassionally raised the rent un-
til, at the end of about ten years, they
were paying $40 instead of $25 per
month. But this was not all, one day
the owner gave them notice that he
had sold the property and they must
vacate within thirty days.
"This set them to thinking, and
they figured that the rent they had
paid, together with the compound in-
terest on the money, would have paid
for the home twice over at the price
they could have bought it for original-
ly. But still worse, they were ousted
from the little home they had become
greatly attached to; the home they had
paid for twice over but were not al-
lowed to keep."

Military Training
President Stratton D. Brooks re-
cently addressed a meeting of students
of the university, who are desirous of
taking military training, and spoke of
the handicap under which the pupils
would work for the first year, due to
the fact that a government instructor
could not be secured, and that the
government would be very late in as-
signing equipment.
The war department has been asked
to permit those taking th • training to
be allowed to use the regulation army
uniform, but in case this is not granted
bids will be asked for by the univer-
sity officials to supply a regular cadet
Uniform.
After the first two years of train
ing, the students will receive $9 per
month, and will be subject to military
duty for six months after graduation
from the university.

The Staunchness Of True Love
(By W E. Harniuth)
A SHORT time ago my wife and I had occasion to spend an even
ing with an aged couple in whose hair the white flakes of many
winters had .settled and whose shoulders were rounded from many
years of hard, honest labor. The old folks were all alone, their child-
ren having all grown up and left for different parts of the globe, and
even though this loss of their beloved ones was evident in their ac-
tions and speech, it, nevertheless, did not hide the fact that they
were still the same sweehearts that they were on the day they were
married, notwithstanding the fact that they were both near the end
of life's journey. A compliment of ours on the beauty of their de-
votion to one another brought forth the following well chosen words
by the old gentlemen.
"Please do not think that my advanced years have robbed me of
my heart, for they have not, and even though what few hairs 1 have
are silvery white, 1 am still capable of loving my wife as much as
1 ever did. A glance at her face will show you that it is careworn and
furrowed from long hours of sorrow and trouble, but gloomy as the
outlook ever was there was always a cheering smile for me; always en-
couragement and even now these qualities are ever present, driving
away years that at times try to drive away the many joys of life.
"Bitter as some things seemed to me at different times, they were
made to seem sweet in having her share them with me and even though
care-laden years have robbed her of the freshness of her youth, it re-
mains still in my memory, like the perfume of a faded rose. Many
have been the rough roads that we have traveled and numerous the
storms we have passed through together, but through it all our love
for one another has been a halo of sunshine making even the darkest
day seem bright.
"It was in the morning of life that \ve met and only in the shadows
of the evening shall we part. Even now she thinks of me—for there
she sits and knits stockings and other things for .me to wear when the
weather turns slightly cold. I know that neither of you, nor anyone else
can see even faint traces of the pretty face that over fifty years ago
captured and enmeshed me with its fair young charms, but I do, even
though those sweet blue eyes are dim, a tremulous voice has replaced
one that was once sweet and musical, an dthe memory almost brings
tears to my eyes
"The body may be beset with almost every known affliction, my son,
such as blindness, deafness, etc., but te true heart will have within
its portals a wealth of love that no known means can conquer. This is
one of the reasons that we cannot see that we are old, though we will
admit that we are considerably advanced in the matter of years."
As the wife and 1 walked homo that evening we were of the same
thought—what a paradise this earth would be if all who take the
marriage vows would only respect them in the manner that this
venerable old couple have and what a beautiful journey through this
life it must be when one lives in such a wealth of love and devotion.

Freshman Election
A very keen interest was shown in
the Freshman election, which was
held in Assembly Hall, the latter part
of the week.
Over four hundred first year stu-
dents were present, the large number
being due no doubt to the efforts put
forth by the candidates in their cam-
paigning.
Some very clever talks were made,
each candidate making his or her
promises before the class members. |
Those chosen as officers were:
President, Herbert Hyde, Norman;
Vice-President, Harold Ball, Enid;
Secretary, Geneva Bush, Pauls Valley;
Treasurer, Francis Rosser, Muskogee;
Sregeant-at-arms, Ben Dawson, Ok-
lahoma City; Yell leader, John Gal-
loway, Oklahoma City.
As it is up to the freshmen to start
the "pep" and interest in general,
Hyde has planned several affairs
which will surely start the old time
O. U. spirit.
Social and vigilance committees
will be appointed in the near future,'
and the Freshmen "Queen" will likely,
be chosen this week.
