As the result of a bill passed by the
last congress placing everyone who
sells, handles or uses explosives in
any form under a license, people in
the Drumright field have begun mak-
ing application for such licenses. The
wholesaler and retailer of explosives,
as well as foremen of construction
or pipe line gangs who issues this
( class of material to workmen, must
obtain a license.
Gus Corey, clerk of the district
court of Creek county, has been ap-
pointed to issue such licenses, and
has deputized L. H. Childress, deputy1
court clerk for Drumright, to issue
such licenses in this part of the
county.
The law provides that a correct
record be kept of all explosives sold,
to whom, for what purpose, kind of
explosive, and that those who issue
them to workmen must keep a record
of the amount and for what purpose
used and all unused explosives must
be accounted for and returned.
The bill is designed to prevent ex-
plosives falling into the hands of anti-
war agitators and anarchists who
might use them to destroy property.

Atlanfcu, Ga., Poc. M.—The na-
tion's war preparation were char-
acterized as "unwitiofactory" and
conditions in army cfcmps were criti-
cized by Frank A. Vanderlip in an
address here nt a mooting of Georgia

derlip, who is chairman the national
war savings committee, aaid there is
a startling lack of ofjuipment in

Whereas, the return of the Christ-
mas season finds our country at war
with forces embodying the antithesis
of the spirit of Christmas; and
Whereas, America must not only
uncomplainingly consecrate to the
cause of Christian civilization, hun-
dreds of thousands of her noble youth,
but sustain in suffering both her own
sons and their comrades at arms under
the colors of our Allies; and
Whereas, the president of the Unit-
ed States has asked the people to con-
secrete relief work in the hands of
the American Red Cross, as a "single,
experienced organization, which has
been recognized by law and by inter-
national convention, as the public
instrumentality for such purposes;"
and
Whereas, the American Red Cross
has appealed to all patriotic citizens
to rally to its support during the
week beginning December 17;
Now therefore, I, Robert L.
W illiams, Governor of the State of
Oklahoma, do hereby appoint and set
apart the week December 17 to 24 as
"Red Cross Christmas Membership
Week," and call upon all citizens of
Oklahoma to observe this occasion by
becoming "Christmas" members of
the organization, by endeavoring to
persuade others to do so, and by dis-
playing in their homes on Christmas
eve the candle-illuminated Red Cross
service flag, believing that in no other
equally appropriate or effective way
can the spirit of Christmas be ob-
served in America this year by citi-
zens saddened at the sight of a world
at strife, determined to lessen a« far
as in their power, the human sufferng
that is inevitable, and who have in
their hearts a sincere prayer for the
day of "Peace on Earth, Good Will
towards Men."
In witness whereof, I have here-
unto set my hand and caused to be
affixed the great seal of the state of
Oklahoma.
Done at Oklahoma City, this the 10,
day of December, 1917.
R. L. WILLIAMS.
The Governor of the State of Okla.
J. L. LYON, Sec. of State.
