Muster Out
At Fort Sill
OKLAHOMA CITY. r»b. 13 Word
tit received by Adjutant General
Ka(|> that the members of the Ok
lahoma national guard now at Fort
Sill would be niualered out of tAe
itr>k« immediately.
Captain W. G Murchison of the
United State* armj wan ordered t
Fort Sill several day a ago when the
soldiers arrived there but the muster
out order previously received had
been suspended.
Two troops of cavalry, the field
hospital and the engineering corps
are those now at Fort Sill and to be
mustered out of the service.
These men are also in tho service
aader two different systems. or
oaths. Some confusion has been
caused especially to the understand
log of the non informed, that has
arisen because of the two different
oaths subscribed to.
Some of the men went Into the
federal service simply tinder the
militia. In this they only have to
serve out the time of their enlist-
ment under contract with the state
guard This only requires a three
year's enlistment. When their time
is up they may receive their dis-
charge. Under the oath subscribed
for the regular federal service they
made a new enlistment of active
service for three years and a reserve
of three more.
When Oklahoma's soldiers return
home they will be paid twenty-five
dollars each by the state, if a bit
which passed the senate is also
passed by the house and signed by
the governor. This payment la pro-
posed in view of the fact that the
clothing now being worn by the sol-
diers Is all federal government proiL
erty and must all be surrendered on
mustering out. The twenty-five dol
lars paid by the state would tie a
very welcome help to the men and
at the same time a mark of recog
ultion of service on the part of the
state
Oklahoma guardsmen other than
those at Fort Sill MO *lill at (be
border. There is no indication when
they may be sent back home for mus-
ter out.

the lovely Cherokee country the
fruits of a fortune made out of oil
his successor In ihe executive chair,
Lee Cruce of Ardmore, is mounting
to the capitalist class by the same
route, and Governor Robert L. Wil-

ancially for the cost of politics in the
same manner.
The highest offer for oil of which
there Is any note in southern Okla-
homa was made the other day to
former Governor Cruce for his royal-
ty interest la a producing
tract in the Ringling field The prlee
offered was $1,000 a barret based on
a day’s gauge of the well. The prop-

than $120 a day. The sale would have
brought him about $125,1)00. Governor
Cruce, however, as haa Governor
Haskell, has paid the heavy financial
obligations that mounted high and
menacingly during the career In
politics, and probably the rest of his
years will be spent in ease.

GIRAFFES
The giraffe is a high, narrow an
imal found in circuses and delerlum
trenjens. It has a ten story neck
and no use for it. We often wonder
why is a giraffe's neck anyway. The
giraffe probably wonders too. And
it keeps hia head so far from the
ground that eYerv time he looks
down he’s afraid he'll fall off.
But let's not hold the giraffe too
strictly account for his neck. He prob-
ably started out to be a boa constric-
tor and forgot about it. The eoly
person that ever envied a giraffe
was a small boy on the wrong aide of
ihe fenre at a hall game.

Water Damage Sale
One fellow's loss is alway* some
other fellow's gain and the damage
caused to our stock by water pipes
freezing and bursting and the resul
tany soaking of some of our stock
gives the other fellow a chance to
secure some rare bargains. In many
instances the good* are very slightly
damaged. Just enough that they can't
be sold at the regular prices and
we do not want to keep them on our
shelves. We have marked them down
so they are sure to go in a hurry
for the people of Sapulpa have long
ago learned that when Rucker an-
nounces a special sale there Is some-
thing doing. On Thursday, beginning
at one o’clock these damaged eoods
will be put on sale and the first
customers will be the ones who will
get the best bargains. The sale will
continue over Saturday the 24th
but of course the best bargains will
go first. Better be on hand at Ruck
ers at that hour If you want the
best bargain* in this water damaged
sale. * Adv.
