"I am mighty sorry, Uncle Dnn, that
this Is your last night with us. Can't
you stay longer? We boys are having
a pench of a time," said Billie.
"Well, if you get more out of It In
the way of pleasure than I," said Un-
cle Dan, "you are going some."
"Billie, I have been talking seriously
with your father and mother about
sending you to a military academy and
they asked me to talk with you about
It."
"Whoopee!" Billie screamed, like a
wild Indian.
"Now, bold your horses," said Uncle
Dan, "and listen to me. You know I
sent my boy, Howard, to one of these
schools for a year when he was about
your age. lie was narrow chested,
stoop shouldered, rather loose jointed;
he had the big bead and needed dls-1

was growing fast and I wanted him to
be strong physically."
"Say, Uncle Dan," said Billie, "I be-
lieve your description of Howard fits
me pretty well, eh?"
"Well," said Untie Dan, "to be frank j
I think it does; yon need the same j
thing. Howard did not like it at first. I
am told for a few weeks he had 'rough

only way was to obey orders, he caught
the spirit of the Institution and liked j

HAWAIIANS SEEK

of Fire.

Purpose.
Honolulu. — Twenty-six Hawaiian*,
led by n fourteen-year-old schoolgirl,
sought to fling themselves Into the boil-
ing lava of Kllahea crater on the re-
cent anniversary of King Kamehameha
the Great. *Bhe fanatics were attempt-
ing to make a human sacrifice to Pele,
the goddess of lire. Their plans were
frustrated when they fell exhausted
on the mountainsides after the long
Journey toward the volcano.
The pilgrimage was started from
Hookena, Hawaii, by old men and
women, children and even infants In
arms, all unprovided with food and wa-
ter and scantily clad. The blazing suu
of the lava-encrusted slopes overcame
the pilgrims after a day and a night
of continuous traveling, and they were
found by A. R. (rasper, who operates
an automobile stage around the island
from Hilo to ICona.

They must have the approval of their

of the Kansas City meeting is as fol-

It was to women—Kansas City

City. Under ordinary circumstances,
some of his statements might have of-

once he was paid the tribute of tears.

"You can conserve. You can save in
those things the army must have. You
must. If you are unwilling to do that,
you have no right to expect the pro-
tection guaranteed by the American
flag."
Then, with a sidelight upon condi-
tions in Belgium, he permitted his
audience to understand what the "pro-
tection of the American flag" means.
"Your government," he said, "has
an official report stating that there is
not now a girl or woman in Belgium
over 16 years of age who has not been
misused by the Germans."
A sort of half grasp swept over the
audience of women, but Mr. Kennedy
ignored it.
"You and your country are in dan-
time to awaken. If you love Ameri-
readily how you, out here in the cen-
ter of the food producing region, fail

Farm Lands
and Loans
At no time in the history of the coun-
try has there been such u demand for
farm lands as now.
Hitfh 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 we can satisfy you.

'Well, mother and I were delighted.
That was ten years ago, and Howard
says the year he spent at the military
academy was the best year of his life.
Now," said Uncle Dan, with great
earnestness, "when such training does
so much good, makes better citizens and
at the same time fits a man to defend
his country, why should not Uncle Sam
furnish this training at the govern-
ment's expense? The government has
the right to call anyone to serve In
case of war, and without training, a
man Is worth nothing as a soldier. Un-
cle Sam has splendid new training
camps that will soon be available for
the purpose, therefore, here Is double

compulsory military training should be

Word to Subscribers
In consolidating the Norman
weekly newspapers a thousand and j
one details have to be worked out,
and we have not yet "struck our
gait" in getting out such a paper as
we desire. We trust our subscrib-
ers will bear with us for a short ;
time, and we'll then give them .a
weekly paper of which they will be i
proud. We hope to be able to get
out twelve pages next week, end i.Id i
to that number from week Lo week j
as business justifies.
True Patriotism
As per announcement in this issue
the Carey, Lombard Lumber company
will give five per cent premium on
Liberty Bonds, thus demonstrating its
thorough confidence in the country
and its earnest and true loyalty and
patriotism. In addition to this, the
company has subscribed for a very
large amount of the bonds, and every
one of their employes has gone his
limit, feeling and knowing that in
this way they can best contribute to
the success of our arms and the care
of our soldiers. These are the days
when America expects every man
and every interest to do its full duty,
and this is one way in whick this
great company is demonstrating its
earnest desire to do that duty.
Appreciation is due the company
for its true Americanism, and we
trust it will have to pay out a goodly
sum on these premiums. Read the
announcement and profit thereby
