With the Italian Force*, Not. 21.—
Preconceptions, that the Germans
were husbanding their manpower in
their drive Into Italy, have been
refuted by the battle along the Piave
river.
The Teuton* are malting their at-
tacks with overwhelming masses of
troop*. They are being slaughtered
by the Italian defensive fire but
always seem to have plenty of fresh
troops to take their places. The
Italian* are greatly outnumbered by
both men and guns but are defend-
ing their lines desperately and driv-
ing the Germans back.

Creek county made the best show-
ing in the food pledge campaign of
any county in the entire state o'
Oklahoma.
It must be so for no less a person
than Stratton Brooks, state food ad-
ministrator, told Mrs Chas. Whitaker
that the records of the various coun-
ties showed Creek to be head anti
shoulders above them all. And this
in spite of the fact Uiat Creek coun-
ty is the wealthiest in the state and
should be better able to indulge in
luxuries without pinch than many
of her sisters.
The signatures of 20,1 IT persons
were procured.
Although the drive for food con-
servation closed more than two
weeks ago it was not until today
that exact figures were available.1
Much credit is due the workers and
leaders In the campaign which made
the wonderful success a possibility.
Sapulpa led (he list of Creek
cities by more than 2,000 in the num-
ber of signed flood pledge cards. The
exact figures for the city show that
