Oakland Sensible Six
1"^ HIS new Oakland Sensible Six represents the most effective combination of high
power, light weight, full comfort and definite economy yet accomplished in a motor
car.
It is .in all-family, all-purpose car—simple in design, strong in construction, exceed-
i.iuiy powerful in action—capable of enduring severe and constant daily service with a
minimum of wear and upkeep cost.
Oakland owners' records show for it such economies as from 18 to 25 miles to the
gallon of gasoline under ordinary driving conditions, and from 8,000 to 12,000 miles from
(he oversize tires with which it is regularly equipped.
In all its fundamentals this new Oakland Sensible Six is a continuation of the car up-
on which Oakland has specialized for two years.
Today, not one part or detail of it remains untried or unproven.
Let us Demonstrate it for you.

How it Works
j The following conversation could
happen here everyday:
"Good morning, Bill."
I "Good morning, John."
| "Say, Bill, what is the price of that
wagon over there?"
| "Ninety dollars, John."
"Ninety dollars! Why, my father
bought that wagon fifteen years ago
for $60."
''Yes, John, he did, and he bought
it of me. But, as I wanted some corn,
your father delivered 300 bushels of
corn in payment for the $60 wagon. I
need corn now, and 1 will make the
same trade with you, on this $90 wag-
on as I did with your father fifteen
years ago, and will give you in ad-
dition one buggy, $50; dining room
suite, $74; range, $40; one suit of
clothes, $20; one dress for your wife,
$20; 200 pounds of sugar, $20; 200
gallons of gas, $50. I will then give
you a check for $86, or more than
enough to buy a wagon at the price
fifteen years ago. •
"Present market price of corn
$1.50. Three hundred bushels, $450.
Think it over, John. Which price would
you like?"

Sunday Morning
Dear Myrtle and Auntie:
Perhaps you think you are a long
time hearing from me but you can't
imagine how busy a soldier's life is.
This is Sunday morning and a beau-
tiful morning it is. How I wish 1 had
! an opportunity to attend church some-
| where, but of course religious advan-
tages are very limited in a place like
this. I am very glad 1 joined the Ma-
rine corp. While 1 wouldn't have chos-
en this kind of life from mere prefer-
ence yet it had to be some kind of a
| military branch and really I believe
(this is the best branch of service,
j There is a fine class of young men
in the Marines. For example in one
|company on the island there were 62
out of 64 who joined a Bible class.
There is a young man who bunks
next to me who is a good Christian
and reads his bible every day. This
young fellow was in the Canadian
army until a few weeks ago his mother
had him released from there as he
was under age and immediately he
joined the Marines.
I he oldest man in our company is
only 33 most of the fellows are under
age. We have the best company I
know of here and we are getting along
fine.
We have a hot headed Irishman for
captain and of course he gets angry
now and then, but he is a fine captain
and so we get along fine.
They have a prison here known as
the Brig. The other day the command-
ing officer allowed three prisoners
whom he had taken a liking to, to go
fishing out in the bay in a small boat
with only one guard.
The prisoners overpowered the
guard, rowed over to a near by island,
tied this guard to a tree so that when
the tide came in, it would drown him.
Luckily, however, for the guard a
ship came along and rescued him be-
fore he was drowned.
The three prisoners were later cap-
tured in the north somewhere and
brought back here. They are confined
in their cells now each one has to sit
in a dark corner of his cell without a
move and live upon bread and water
until they are tried.
This island was formerly a Naval
Prison and Supply Base, and a good
place for a prison it is, for there is
very little chance for escape.
We have comfortable beds to
sleep in, good bunk houses, shower
baths and fairly good eating, such
as it is. But ice cream, candy and other
things are getting to be foreign deli-
cacies to us.
It is beginning to get rather cold
here now at nights. I notice quite a
number of the boys are wearing
leeveless sweaters, some olive drab
color and some gray. Auntie, if they
are knitable and you have time and
care to do it, get Dad to get you the
thread and whatever it takes. I don't
know what system the Red Cross uses
in supplying the boys with socks and
sweaters but we have never heard of
anything about here. Could also use
| some gray socks. They givs us black
| house which are not very good for a
■fellow's feet on lon^ hard marches.
Am hoping to get a furlough Xmas.
or before and come home for a few
days, but can't tell just how it'will be
then. i
Not many of the fellows are getting
furloughs now. They are needed so
badly they ship them right on into
the service.
I may be sent to Ontario, Va., or
Philadelphia, Penn., or to some of the
South Sea Islands or maybe for ship
duty, That's what I want.
We have a fine Y. Mi C. A. here,
have a piano and we all gang around
at night and sing songs we used to
sing and of course it brings back mem-
ories of the past. Of course our whole
mind and energy is bent on the one
thing, military things and a little
recreation now and then helps us out
so much,
I am studying French now. Class
meets three nights out of the week,
that just leaves four nights to write,
rest and wash clothes, clean our hifles,
shine our shoes and dozens of the lit-
tle things. Surely is a busy life, but it
is surely agreeing with me and you
wouldn't hardly know me even now.
Well I must close. Hope you are
both well and getting along fine. Want
to hear from you both real soon.
Much love from,
CARL.

( amp Grcenlcaf, M. O. T. C.
Fort Oklethorpe, Ga., Oct. 31.
Dear Transcript:
1 am now receiving the Daily
1 ranscript and. believe me, I sure
enjoy reading the home news. This
is "some" camp here, and a fine
country, but you don't want to get
the itlea that Georgia is all sunshine
and roses, for it sure has been cold
here several different times since Oct.
1st. There are about 1500 doctors
here in training and the training we
set is great from a military stand-
point. Tliey keep us so busy that wc
don t notice the lapse of time very
much. 1 am only about eight or ten
miles from Chattanooga, Tenn., so I
go over there almost every Saturday |
afternoon.
We had a big "review" this after-
noon, and the boys made a fine ap-
pearance. I suppose it would have
en a real treat for some of the
people at home, for 1 know that I
never saw anything like it until 1
came here.
A fellow certainly ought to get
fat down here, bccause they feed us
medical officers good. It costs us
$1.00 per day, and its well worth it.
Entertainment is not so bad here,
cither. We have picture shows at
the lecture platform, also prize fights
and musical entertainments and the
like once a week so that is not so bad
after all. Wc have a fine bunch of
doctors here from all over the United
States, and every one seems to enjoy
his work. I want to say again that
your paper is sure appreciated by me
away down here, far away from old
Oklahoma and Norman.
Yours truly,
Lt. T. M. BOYD, M. R. C.
Farm Lands
and Loans
At no time in the history of the coun-
try has there been such a demand for
farm lands as now.
High prices for all products and the
freedom resulting from farm life are
largely responsible for these condi-
tions.
This is the year for renters to obtain
homes of their own.
We have a number of excellent bargains in farms at
all prices and in all parts of Cleveland and McClain
counties, on which we can give excellent terms, and, if
desired, make loans at a low rate of interest. If you are
interested let us show you some of our bargains. We
know wc can satisfy vou.

Food Reminders
1. Buy it with thought.
2. Cook it with care.
3. Use less wheat and meat.
4. Buy local foods.
5. Serve just enough.
6. Use what is left.
7. Don't waste it.
Food is ammunition—don't waste it.
Eat the home products and save the
freight.
The new bread line must stretch

Chicken and fish are not bad sub-
stitutes for beef and pork.
Germany now has some of our boys
in her prison camps. We must save
so we can win the war more quick-
ly and rescue them.
We must eat more popcorn and less
candy. Save the sugar for tiie soldier*.
One of the most valuable divisions
of Uncle Sam's army is the food
pledge women who stand guard over
the nation's food supply.

Provide Substitutes
Stratton D. Brooks, Federal Food
Administrator for Oklahoma, reports
that complaints are coming to him
from all over the State from house
wives stating they cannot buy mixed
flour, corn meal, rye flour, or other
substitutes for straight wheat flour,
and that the bakers do not bake any-
thing but wheat bread, on the ground
that there is no demand for it.
He therefore has requested all
grocers to provide promptly their
substitutes and all bakers to increase
the proportion of rye and graham
breads, because public sentiment de-
veloped during the Food Pledge Cam-
paign had increased the demand for
these substitutes.

OKLAHOMA CITY, Nov. 7,
(Special.)—"A blank well and a fir-
ing squad may soon be the remedy
for pro-Germanism in Oklahoma in
the few sections where it exists," de-
clares the Oklahoma Stale Council of
Defense, in sending out to its mem-
bers warning to take every precau-
tion to protect stores of foodstuffs
from incendiary fires. The statement
comes as a result of the destruction
of foodstuffs in the north and east
through German agents, and a result
of the realization of what German
propaganda and the German spy sys-
tem have done in Russia and Italy,
rile work of German agents was also
evident in the food pledge campaign
in this state.
"Every American," the statement
continues, "must realize that we
at war, that our lads are already at
the front, that that men who is not
aiding in America's fight against Ger-
many is aiding the Prussian
slaughter his neighbor's sons.
"We must realize that a few trait-
ors in our midst can kill, indirectly,
more American boys that can entire
batallions of Russian soldiers. We
must realize that a disloyal remark
is an assassin s shot at every boy
wearing khaki.
"Those living in Amcrica can he of
but two classes, Americans, or ene-
mies. Protection for our own lads at
the front and for our own mothers
and children and homes demands
that enemies among us be kept be-
hind bars only until that punishment
all traitors deserve can be meted out
to them."
A timely warning is also sent tp
those who make statements without
realizing that they are placing them-
selves in the class with traitors. "Be-
ware, the statement says, "you may
make pro-German remarks and not be
molested now. But a day of wrath is i
coming in America just as surely as
it came in England and France and in j
countries of other of our Allies.
The careless statement you make to-
lay will arise like a spectre at some
future date and brand you as a mur-
derer among your neighbors whose
sons have been killed in battle."
Much information concerning dis-
loyal statements has been turned over
to federal authorities by the Okla-
homa State Council of Defense. Pa-
triotic citizens should report such
things to the council headquarters,'
