—John Fisher is seriously consider-
ing the advisability of getting into
the race for clerk of the court.
—Mrs. W. D. January was in from
Route 2 on Wednesday, and made this
office a pleasing call.
—Fine Meeting at Red Hill: County
Supt. Clark is continuing his thrift
stamps and baby bond campaign and
proposes to cover every part of the
county before lie lets up. Last night
he took a party of Norman men to
Red Hill, away down in the south-
east part of the county, where a big
crowd assembled and after an hour's
talk by Mr. Clark and other speakers
over $1,100 was subscribed. The party
besides Mr. Clark consisted of John
Fisher, Jim Corbett, L. C. Palmer.
Glenn Morris and E, B. Helms ,and
they made the seventy-mile round-trip
ill good shape. Tonight the party
goes to Willow View, where an extra
good meeting is expected.
Welfare Meeting
A National Welfare man will be
in Norman four days, from March
10th to 13th.
Churches, schools, homes and civic
bodies are uniting in this community
welfare drive.
Sunday, March 10th, at 3 p. m., will
begin a great four-day Community
Welfare Campaign. The Field Secy,
of the National Public Welfare
League, Frank G. Wilcox, will be in
Norman for the above four days to
lead in the project. The churches,
schools and civic bodies are co-operat-
ing and every citizen—especially
fathers and mothers—are expected to
give attention.
This drive has for its aim the for-
mation of definite plans for an au-
thoritative department in the units
' of government—city, county, and
state—which can deal with those
causes of human wreckage, in the
public arena, that are producing con-
ditions which cost the body politic
men and money.
If the conservation of our forces
is needed to win this war, and no one
doubts it, one of the best ways to
conserve must be to search out and
remove these causes of wreckage,
which not only burden us, but lessen
the efficency of the generation who
shall take our place.
The most valuable asset for the fu-
ture is boys and girls. We must take
better care of them in Oklahoma.
Buying in Oklahoma
(Federal Food Administration, Nor-
man, Oklahoma, Floyd E. Miller, Pub-
licity Manager.)
The Food Administration for Ar-
kansas has notified Dr. Brooks, fed-
eral food administrator for Oklahoma,
that some of the folks in Arkansas
have crossed the Oklahoma line and
have purchased flour and sugar in
larger quantities than permitted by
the food regulations. Investigations
are under way to determine who the
grocers are sold to the visitors from
Arkansas and proper action will be
taken to stop these friendly visits
from our neighbors across the line.
MY PA
My Pa he is the strangest man
That ever I did see.
He never sings or whistles,
Nor talks to ma and me.
But ma, she just talks to him,
He won't talk back at all—
He just looks up and looks at her
And says "uh-huh"—that's all.
He lets me go to town with him
And stands 'round on the street
While he talks to the farmer men,
Yes, everyone he meets;
And I feel awful proud of Pa,
That he can stand and talk
About the crops and everything
And never make a balk.
And then I wish that he would talk
To Ma and me that way.
I'd never want to do a thing
But talk to him all day.
I'd tell him everything I do,
Good things and bad and all.
But Pa he wouldn't talk to me,
He'd say "uh-huh"—that's all.
My Ma and me we often sit
Out under the old tree,
While soft winds blow the blossoms
down
And cover her anil me.
She teaches me the song of birds,
The partridge's low call.
When I go home I'll tell my Pa;
He'll say "uh-huh"—that's all.
Sometimes I wonder what my Pa
Was made for anyhow?
My Ma can do most anything
That he can, I'll allow—
But when the bell for dinner rings,
Pa's ready for the call.
He just looks up and looks at her
i And says "uh-huh"—that's all.
| One day my Ma came running in,
| A pantin' fit to kill;
You'd a thought the kaiser's army
Was marching up the hill.
She said: "The house is burning down
J From cellar door to hall."
j Pa just looked up and looked at her
And said "uh-huh"—that's all.

BULLETIN
By t 'itited Press.
Washington, Feb. 27.—Thirty
men probably lost their lives
when the United States naval tug
Cherokee foundered off the At-
lantic coast yesterday. Secretary
Daniels announced today.
The bodies of four dead have
reached Philadelphia.
The complement was five of-
ficers and thirty-five enlisted
men.
The ten known survivors have
been landed.
The list of those aboard will be
made public soon. The message
has no details of the floundering.
Got Her Husband
Leavenworth, Kans., Feb. 27.—Mrs.
Florence Wettig, champion war bride,
was celebrating her victory over a
grizzled top sergeant today, while
her soldier husband was on a troop
train speeding toward an unnamed
destination.
While Private W. P. Wettig of St.
Louis was waiting for orders to board
a troop train with his company, the
bride, who was Miss Florence M.
Cunningham, Dallas, Texas, appeared
with a motor car, a license and the
county judge. Despite the protests of
the sergeant she "kidnapped" Wettig
and sped to a nearby grove where
the ceremony was performed. Five
minutes later Wettig boarded the
train as it pulled out.
The university not o ly acts as the
center of the food conservation move-
ment for the state but the Sooners
over the state are leaders in this mo-
vement. Orel Busby, LL. B. '14, j
county judge of Pontotoc county and i
Robert Bellati, LL. B. '12, lawyer at ]
Blackwell, are food administrators
for Pontotoc and Kay counties res-
pectively.
Sergeant Fayette Copeland, Jr., of
Fort Sill was a guest at the Delta
Theta house Sunday evening.
Hogs vs. Norman
No one has any more serious
thoughts about winning the war by
conserving food to feed the boys in
France than the writer. Anything that
they want they can have, and we will
sit down at the second table, give
them the best food and clothing that
money can buy, and then they will be
underpaid. May the bird of fate that
now spreads its darkened wings over
the land, soon fly away and remove its
shadow.
While the boys are away, keep our
city bright and sanitary, to await their
coming home. We beleve there is a
confusion of thought as to how it
should be done. Well-meaning people
may believe that a hog pen in the mid-
dle of Main Street makes it a patriotic
spot, and sheds its light upon the
owner.
The doctors tell us that hog pens
bring disease, and disease brings
death, and fills ud the cemetery, and
the funeral car travels the road of
sorrows.
Only a few years ago Norman was
called an unsanitary city by the high-
est authority in the state, and it hurt.
It kept students away, and the fair
name of Norman was kicked about
over the state like a football. These
are cold facts. Whether we had an
unsanitary city at that time or not,
we should guard our gateway in the
future and not make a packingtown
of it. The private gain of a few in
cultivating hogs in our midst should
not control the welfare of the City
of Norman. As a farmer, we speak
and think as a farmer, and know there
is no money in feeding hogs out of the
high priced food that comes out of tin
cans; and corn is higher than hogs,
hence no gain in raising them, except
patriotism and patriotism should be
on every farm in raising food. But
Norman should not encourage the
raising of hogs inside the corporation
limits.
Norman is bigger and better than
any man in it. It is your city, not
mine, and our thoughts as written are
not for personal reasons.
Hogs or health?—that is the ques-
tion. We want both—but like country
ham best.

Buy a Light Weight
Maxwell
Scientifically constructed for light weight, strength
and durability. Any surplus weight you buy costs you
dearly.
First place, you pay extra for the extra material
used.
Second place, you pay continuously during the life
of your car, for fuel, to haul this extra weight around
with you. If your car were so constructed that you
could detach any surplus weight, whether 200 pounds
or 800 pounds, or whatever the weight, when going on
errands, or trips, how often would you take it along?
Be Economical
Get a Maxwell, a fully equipped car, the best auto-
mobile value in America even at the new price. Posi-
tively no cars will be sold at the old price after
