DRUMRIGHT, OKLAHOMA, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 1917
Do your bit.
Italy is weak, it is not Geimar
strength.
Every home is ur^ed to help in the
food drive.
News of all the wtrld every slay in
the Derrick.
That Hindenburtf line doesn't seem
inclined to "stay put."
No, the "German"' is no longer a
popular dance in allied countries.
That pound of wheat flour YOU
tave every week will weigh heavily
on the kaiser's mind.
Corn muffins are mighty good for
breakfast. Eat them several times a
week and help win the war.
Every time you use the bread-knife
on a non-wheat loaf you cut ofT n
■lice of Germuny's chance to win the
war.
Wnat you save from what you
serve will help turn the scale against
kaiserism. Think of this when you
ait down to eat.
Every bunch of vegetable leaves
you use for greens instead of throw-
ing them in the garba*.?" can is a
bouquet on the grave of Prussian ism.
Save your bit.
Peru has broken with Germany and
tenders to the allies her "moral sup-
port." Well, the preachers tell us that
"moral 'suasion" is the greatest force
in the universe.
Abraham Lincoln ate com bread
and grew to greatness on it. By eat-
ing corn bread today you can help
make secure those things for which
Lincoln gave his life.
A full plate at the end of the meal
means a full victory for the kaiser
at the end of the war. A clean plate
means a clean defea* for him. Save
food to save democracy.
Senator Berah of Idaho has an-
nounced that he will not be a candi-
date for re-election, and Mrs. Borah
is being urged to make the race for
the succession. Those Idaho folks
must think the gray mare is the bet-
ter horse.
many division.- of their troops fron.
the eastern front to launch against
the Italians. In a few days the ItaP
tans have .ost about all they won in
more than two years and the issue is
fo be settled on the plains of Italy.
However, Italy still has a large army
and once before repelled an Austrian
offensive and the chttnces are will be
able to rally ar.d hold her own against
the invaders. The whole system of
war will now develop into the trench
system of the western front, and the
same fctate of siege brought about.
However, for the time being Italy's
dream of conquering a slice of cov-
eted Austrian territory is shattered.
BEWAP.E OF THE STREET
PEOD1ER
Far be it from our purpose to say
a word that will cast further shame
upon those who are forced by circum-
stances beyond their power to peddle
their goods and wares upon the
streets but the time has come when a
peddler is an undesirable visitor and
great caution should be exercised in
buying their wares.
German agents have been scat-
tered throughout the country in the
guise of needy peddlers, stooping to
fhe low, contemptible, sneaking cow
ardly act of murdering American peo-
ple by selling to them goods that are
filled with poison. Not every peddler
s of this kind but it is an axiomatic
fact that such agents are at work and
the people know not at what time
they will i e approached by one of
these hell-hounds of the kaiser. At
the best you obtain from these pack
merchants en inferior article and the
risk under present circumstances is
not worth the gain. Beware of the
street peddler for you know them
not, neither do ycu know from whence
they come nor whither they are go-
ing.

"I regard it as very important to
overcome the bad Influence of the
Injurious advertisement which Okla-
homa has received.
Surely the wit and skill and great
abilities of our editors arid repcrter.4
are e<;ual to the task of finding news
:tems which would commend Okla-
l.dma and remove the bad impression
vhich stories of an adverse character
have inflicted on the state. Certainly
the editors arc clever enough to make
Oklahoma's greatness a subject of
comment and to omit incidental cases
of individual rascality.
"May I not appeal to you for an
organized effort along this line, to co-
• perate with the railroads in their ef-
fort to bring Oklahoma and our great
resources, material, financial and so-
cial, to the favorable attention of the
American people?*'
TAHLEQUAH FEUDIST
HELD WITHOUT BAIL
Tahlequah, Okla., Nov. 2.—Tahle-
quah spent yesterday righting herself
after having passed through one of
the most exciting days in her exciting
history.
John Lasarus, half-brother of Har-
dy Stc venson, who fired the shot at
Isaac Huston which precipitated a
panic in the court room of Justice J.
D. Wilson, was held without bail to
await the action of the district court.
Bob Thompson, the constable whose
bullet may cause the death of Wesley
Moss, a young farmer, is waiting the
outcome of Moss' injuries and no
charges will be placed against him
until later. Moss is said to be critic-
ally wounded. The bullet entered his
lack, passing out at his breast.
Thompson said he misiooK Moss for
Lasarus.
Houston, the alleged slayer of Ste-
venson and Albert Lawhut, will be
held iri the Muskoge? county jail un-
til his case comes up for trial.
"BEWARE OF SPIES"

"BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU SAY'
SENATOR OWEN ASKS NEWS-
PAPFRS TO RUN CLEAN STUFF
American boys who die in Europe
will die in vain unless American men
and women do their part. Isn't that
a thought to stir you? Your part to-
day is to sign the food pledge so that
American boys will not have to bear
the battle's brunt alone.
Mr. Edison says that the clothes
of the future will be so cheap that any
woman can follow the fashions with-
out feeling the expense. The saving
feature of this prophecy is that Mr.
Kdison carefully omits to state ju«t
how close that future s to the pre
ent.
Italy has gone up against a tough

lapse of Russia, mrking it possible

Senator Robert L. Owen has ad-
dressed letters to Oklahoma newspa-
per men appealing for better adver-
tising for the state by playing up the
pood news in place of stories of
crime.
Senator Owen's letter says:
"The eastern preiu contains many
stories from Oklahoma of criminal
acts of conspiracies against the se-
lective draft, as from Seminole coun-
ty, which serve :s news items from
Oklahoma, leaving upon the public
mind a discrediting effect. My at-
tention has been called to these things
by the publicity department the
railway companies fiiat are trying to
advertise O'lahoma favorably.
"Mcy I not be permitted to sug-
gest to you that you instruct your
reporters to find pleasant things,
complimentary things and attractive
things to mention as news items?
For instance, our enroumous output
of oil. the splendid zinc production
of northeastern Oklahoma amounting
l« more than $20,000,000 per annum
from one county, the splendid citi-
v.enship of the state, our products of
ah kinds, our fine school system, our
magnificent new buildings—incidents
of this kind, along these general
groupings. Oklahoma stood sixth in
THE GIFT OF THE AGES
Of all the things that make for hap-
piness the Jove of books comes first.
No matter how the world may have
served you solace iies there. The
weary, toilsome day drags to a close
and love and frienship and the affairs
of the world prove powerless to ap-
preciate or understand but in a quiet
corner consolation can always be
found.
Is your world a small one made
unendurable by a thousand petty
cares? Are the heart and soul of you
broke down by bitter disappointment?
Then, friend, open the covers of a
book With this gentle comrade you
may journey tc the ends of pie
world, year, to the very beginning of
civilization^ There is no land you
may rot visit from Arctic snows to
the loftiest peaks of southern moun-
tains.
Each book is n secret chamber ad
whether you may enter therein is de-
pendent upon the mood of the reader.
"Bookf should to one of these four
ends conduce; for wisdom, piety, de-
light or use."
The wisdom of a nation is written
in its literature. If tired of the sight
of pe.f and power enter the great
structure of literature that is open
to you and therein you will find hap-
piness.
