It is said the ladies from the leases
and the surrounding small towns are
showing a superior effort to the ladies
living in Drumright. Regardless of
the weather the boys are in the
trenches and the least the women at
home in comfort and safety can do
is to willingly do their small bit, ard
each person must do their own Re 1
Cross work. The fact that some one
goes two days a week reflects no
credit to the woman of leisure who
talks lots and does little. It is no
time to slack. Finish this job and
get at another.
