With the American Army in Eng-
land, Aug. 12.—When a soldier leaves
the United States he should not feel
certain he is going to win glory on the
battlefield in France. Whether officer
or enlisted man he is subjected to
further scrutiny in England and in
France and until a little corps of keen
eyed and careful officers have com-
pleted the examination no one can
(tell into just what part of the big
army machine he is going to fit.
I There are in England camps where
(every man who passes through is
"trade indexed.'' This is especially
j true of one camp where a large part
j of the airmen and motor transport
! forces arrive shortly after deharkn-
' I tion. The records accompanying them
show what the men have been doing
in civil life and a further examina-
tion of them and a scrutiny of the
demands often determine the part
.they are to take, sometimes only for
j temporary duty in some cases for an
indefinite period.
From this lot are selected the men
who will go into the big repair shops
at once Men experienced in electri-
cal work are sent to stations where
service is most needed. Orders for
automobile experts are filled and not
infrequently the men !n command of
the station are called upon to supply
men for following, for a time at
least, exactly the same kind of work
they were doing in the United States
before their numbers in the draft were
called.
A big hospital is being erected at
one camp. The money for the ma
terial was furnished by the Red Cross.
The w ork is being done by the army.
1 he construction of the buildings s
not materially different from that of
war hospitals being erected in the
United States and the same .lass of
skilled labor is being used. Experts
in ues pf cement are working there.
Plumbers are doing the same sort of
work they were paid to do in the
United States, carpenters are em-
ployed in doing as high grade labor
as could be found anywhere, and the
drawing of plans and specification was
done by architects and engineers. All
the men whose work is going into the
building have been taken from the
rank and file of those who reached
camp on their way from the ports of
debarkation. They will be held there
enly so long as their work on the
structure is required and then they
will rejoin their organizations unless
detailed for other work.
Officers engaged in fixing the trade
index of the army have boasted that
from the ranks of the national army
there may be found men who can do
any class of work required, frpnt
grinding a diamond to working on the
rfling of a big gun.

Man comes into this world without
his consent and leaves it against his
will; during his stay here on earth hi,
time is spent in one continuous round
ontiaries and misunderstandings
by the balance of the species. In his
infancy he is an angel; in his boyhood
he is a devil; in his manhood he is
everything from a lizzard up. If he |
is poor he is a poor manager; if he j
is rich he is dishonest; if he goes to j
church he is a hypocrite; if he does j
not he is a sinner and is damned. It ;
he donates to foreign missions he does
it for show, if not he is stingy and a
tight wad; if he saves money he is a
miser; if he spends money he is a
spendthrift; if he marries rich he mar-
ried for money; if he marries poor he
has married beneath himself; if he
speaks to all the women he meets he
is a flirt; if he speaks to none of them
he is a brute; if he dresses nice he is
a dude; il he works hard he is a fool,
if not he is a deadbeat; if he speaks
friendly he has an axe to grind, it he
does not he is a bighead. When he
comes into the world everybody wants
to kiss him, before he goes out every-
body wants to kick him; if he dies
young there was a bright future be-
fore him; if he lives to an old age he
s in the way and is simply living to
save funeral expenses. This life is a
funny old road, but be it long or
short we all have to travel it just the

ICE FAMINE IS
IMPROVING HERE
AND ELSEWHERE
PRACTICALLY EVERY TOWN
COUNTY SUFFERS FROM
LACK OF ICE
IN
Indiana Day will be celebrated on
August IH by member of the Indiana
colony of Drumrigh in an auspicious
manner. The day will be observed
one-half mile southwest of the city
op the picnic grounds. As there are
a large number of Indianians here
and as they include some of the lead-
ing citizens of this city it is believed
that the outir.g which they will give
will prove one of the most delightful
affairs of us kind ever taking place
here.
Natives of Indiana are expected to
participate in the gathering and bring
well-filled baskets of delicacies which
will be served on the picnic grounds.
An interesting program will b
carried out and there will probably be
speaking by some of the leading mem-
bers of the Indiana colony, songs,
music and anything in fact that may
be added to the enjoyment of the oc-
lion.
The ice famine which was prevalent
in all parts of Creek county for the
past ten days now shows signs of con- (
siderable improvement hut conditions
are far from normal yet. Drumright
was apparently not the only town
where it was impossible, or nearly so,
to get ice as practically every town
in the county where ice is used re-
ports that ice was exceedingly scarce
and this was also true at the county
seat of Sapulpa.
Sapulpa not only was short on ice
but also faced a water shortage. The
situation has become so serious as
regards water at Sapulpa that the city
commissioners took up the matter.
Orders were issued to forbid sprink-
ling except on Thursdays and Sun-
days. The drouth in the cause of
the water shortage at the county seat
and there is no great improvement in
that regard up to the present time,
although citizens from that town say
that ice is more plentiful.

At Shamrock the leading firms, 172- t

entirely of ice. Efforts of Shamrock, |
Oilton, Yale and other places to get (
ice here contributed in making Drum-

there were glad to get it.

SAVING AND SAVING AN1) LENDING
Sir William Goode, of the British Food Min-
istry, says that from July 1917, to April 1918,
Hie United States exported to the allies 80,000,-
000 bushels of wheat products. Of this it is as-
serted that 50,000,000 bushels represented volun-
tary sacrifices by the American people in their
consumption of wheat.
There is a triple economy, a triple aspect to
to this saving of wheat. It saved wheat for our
Army and the armies of our allies; it saved mon-
ey to the American people, and for the most part
this money went for the purchase of Govern-
ment war securities.
There is another saving still; this sort of
sacrifice and economy is helping win the war-
shorten the war—with the resultant saving of
,,, soldiers' lives.
