George W. Barnes, state director of

Mr. Barnes believes there is room in
Oklahoma for fifty such institutions,
and is encouraging their organization
in every town of consequence.
An Immediate crusade against vice

of all persons afflicated with social
diseases in Oklahoma City and other
Oklahoma towns visited by soldiers

Following investigations conducted
by good roads clubs in Beaver and
Texas counties, on public expenditures
in highway building, it is probable that j
' an official Investigation will bo made
by the state examiner and inspector.
I The Beaver County C\ub has already
1 filed a request for such an investiga-
tion- Fifty thousand dollars has been
expended in Beaver County, and ap
r iImately the same amount in Texas
1 County, during the past year. It is
j alleged that results do not measure
j up to the expenditures.
"Founders' Day" was observed at

Industries at the state penitentiary ,

in the seven months ending January

107.98. The twine plant at tho prison
showed the greatest profit for the pe-
riod, turning in $70,152.59- Two in-
dustries, the printing plant and the |
dairy, showed losses in operation.
Seventeen boys in the state train
training school at Paul's Valley are
to be let out at once to responsible
farmers who will use them them as
farm hands. If the boys make good
on the farms it is the intention of
the board to parole them. The action
of the board was taken to help relieve
the shortage of farm labor, it was said,
and at the same time to give the boys
a chance to work their way to free-
dom.
Ed Boyle, state nrne inspector, won
his petition for a restraining order
against the state corporation commis-
sion and A. L. Walker, chief conserva-

son at Oklahoma City, when the state's
demurrer to the petition was over- i
ruled by the court. By this decision
Walker is restrained from oil and gas
inspection in the state of Oklahoma,
and from interfering in any way with
the duties in oil and gas work that
were done by the state mine inspect-
or's oflice before Walker was appoint-
ed by the corporation commission in

We will continue to do our utmost, un-
der Government direction, to increase our
production and assist the Food Adminis-
tration. We consider that the opportunity
to co-operate whole-heartedly and to our
fullest powers with this branch of the
Government is our plain and most press-
ing duty.
The Trade Commission Attorney has,
by false inference and misplaced empha-
sis, given to disconnected portions of the
correspondence taken from our private
files and read into the Record, a false and
sinister meaning with tne plain purpose
of creating antagonistic public opinion.
The services of the packers of the

President
Swift & Company,U.S. A.
To The
American People
There is no foundation for the alleged
violations of law attributed to our Com-
pany by agents oF the Federal Trade
Commission and I want to say emphatic-
ally that Swift & Company is not a party to
any conspiracy to defraud the Govern-
ment. Nor has Swift & Company been
guilty of improperly storing foods or of
making false entries or reports.
Conferences of packers, where prices
have been discussed, have been held at
the urgent request and in the presence
of representatives of either the Food
Administration or the Council of National
Defense. And yet the packers have been
accused of committing a felony by acting
in collusion on Government bids!
We have done our best, with other
packers, large and small, to comply with
the directions of the United States Food
Administration in all particulars, including
the furnishing of food supplies for the U. S.
Army and Navy and the Aiiies, now be-
ing handled through the Food Adminis-
tration.

will be the great test of a life and death
struggle on the Western front. In the
everyday walks of life, it is the soring
time that brings ill health. One ot the
chief reasons why the rundown man
finds himself in a bad state of health in
March or April, is because he has spent
nearly all his hours for the past four <>r
five months penned up within the walls j
of house, factory or office. It is the rea- ,
son for our diminished resistance—that I
is, lack of out-door life, coupled with i
perhaps ( ver-eating, lack of good exor- |
cise, insufficient sleep, and constipation.
In other words, we keep feeding the
furnace with food but do not take out
the "clinkers," and our fire does not burn
' brightly. Always keep the liver active.
There is nothing better for health than
taking an occasional mild laxative, per- (
haps once a week; such a one as you
1 can get at any drug store, made up of
M iy apple, jalap, aloes, (sugar-coated,

test of fifty years of approval—namely, !

Work in Joint Effort the Soil of the United States and Canada
co-operative farming in man power necessary
to win tue battle for liberty
The Food Controllers of the United States and Canada are asking for
greater food production. Scarcely 100,000,000 bushels of wheat are avail-
able to be sent to the allies overseas before the crop harvest. Upon the
efforts of the United States and Canada rests the burden of supply.
Every Available Tillable Icra Mcst Contribute; Every Available
Farmer and Farm Hand Must Assist
Western Canada has an enormous acreage to be seeded, but man power
is short, and an appeal to the United States allies is for more men for seed-
ing operation.
Canada's Wheat Production Last Y«ar was 225,000,000 Bushels; the
Demand From Canada Alone for 1918 is 40G,000,QCQ Bushals
To secure this she must have assistance. She has the land but needs
the men. The Government of the United States wants every man who can
effectively help, to do farm work this year. It wants the land in the United
States developed first of course; but it also wants to help Canada. When-
ever we find a man we can spare to Canada's fields after ours are supplied,
we want to direct him there.
Apply to our Employment Service, and we will tell you where you can best serve
the combined interests.
Western Canada's help will be required not later than April 5th. Wages to com-
petent help, $50.00 a month and up, board and lodging.
Those who respond to this appeal will get a warm welcome, good wages, good
board and find comfortable homes. They will get a rate of one cent a mile from Canadian
boundary points to destination and return.
