Million Dollars
a Word
invent an oyster with a soda cracker
shell?
Four little words can be made worth
almost each to the state of
Oklahoma and its people you and I
I and all of us.
As a state we are needlessly spend-
ing $7,000,000 of our good hard earned
cash, in other >tates for something we
produce better at home. We do this
because of habit or custom or indif-
ference. It's a bud habit that can be
changed to a (lOOI) habit easily.
"Give Me Oklahoma Flour"
These an the four little words. They
are golden words. To say them to
your grocer every time you buy a sack
of flour will mean that you are doing
your share in upbuilding one of the
biggest industries in your home state
and helping make things more pros-
perous for us all.
It Is Really Better
Y n sacrifice nothing in quality. It
is an ; huil fact that in the Ka>teni
.Markets, Oklahoma Flour commands
h premium. It ranks first in Oluten
and protein contents. Its food value
is higher.
It Is Usually Cheaper
Am i )klahoma flour is usually a bet
ter grade for the same price or an
equal grade for a lower price. 0kIn
homa wheat milled in Oklahoma and
consumed in Oklahoma saves needles-
expense of freight both ways.
Makes Better Wheat Prices
l?y buying Oklahoma flour you pro-
vide a market for Oklahoma Mills
at home. This increases the demand
for wheat and enables the miller to
pay YOF a higher price. It's not sen-
timent it's GOOD BUSINESS for
the fanner the miller—for "veryone
in l >klahoma.
Why Not?
why not help keep $7,500,-
000 of Oklahoma money in
Oklahoma by always saying
to the Grocer the golden
words:

In the open nlrsehool movement Red
Cross Seals have played and are still
playing an lmi>ortant part. Tbe seal
money, through the Anti-Tuberculosis
snelefips, has been the means for t'X
perlinentlug and convincing the hard
headed school boards of the wisdom of
tbe plan and also for providing food,
clothing and special nursing care which
tbe public funds could not furnish. Iteil
Cross Seals are among the children's
truest friends.

newspaper office In an Indiana city,
she fell a victim to tuberculosis through
some one's carelessness. She was only
nineteen anil tbe sole breadwinner for
a little family group which consisted
of herself utid her grandparents. Ilei
fellow workers noticed that her cough
became chronic and that day by day
she grew thinner and thinner, but she
never confided her troubles to any one.
She just "kept on the job." Through an
unknown channel tbe King's Daugh-

tion proved that the girl slept at night
on a pallet laid on three chairs so
that she could be near the two old
people whom she waa supporting.
