OVER THE TOP ,
FOR LIBERTY BONDS
County's Response to Third Liberty
Loan Gives Quota of $247,000,
With Lots to Spare.
Washita county went over the top
in good style for the Third Liberty
Loan. How much more than her quo,-
ta was made is not known—as not all
reports are in, but a surplus of $35,-
000 is indicated by the returns made
ip to Saturday night. A number of
the reports cannot be as final, while
no report has been received from Col-
ony at this time. The result must
yet be taken from the report
issued Saturday by headquarters and
seut to Chairman H. F. Toliver, of
the county committee. This . report
is made by banks and not by districts.
Cordejl bank quotas totaled $84,300,
and the final results as shown this
morning gave subscriptions as $117,-
400, a surplus of $33,100, or about
forty per cent. The county results as
far as obtainable are given below.
Quotas in first column and subscrip-
tions in second column:
State Bank, Bessie .. $13,700 $22,350

It is believed that all banks behind
with their quotas will report the quota
Ailed when all reports are in, and
that every school district in the coun-
ty will pass its quota.
THE HOLY CITY.
A large and elaborate oratorio "The
Holy City," will be presented at the
Dixie Opera house Friday night of this
week by a cast of fifty local singers,
under the direction of Prof. W. A,
Greene. This event will be one of the
greatest efforts of our local talent, and
promises not only an unusually large
program, but an unusually attractive
one. The choruses include fifty voices,
with the town's best soloists. The sol-
oists announced at this time are Mrs.

LETTER FROM FRANCE.
Somewhere in France. March 31.
Mr. N. Boatright, Sec. I. O. O, F„
Cordell, Okla. <
Dear Brother: Yotl as well as the
lodge will no doubt be surprised to
hoar from me in France for you
doubtless know I was over draft age.
But I had flmost fully decided to join
the army or navy before I left there
last spring. I Joined the Quartermas-
ters Corps at Cheyenne, Wyo., last
November, as an Auto and Scenic
painter. Went from there to Fort
Jx)gan at Denver, Cool., and then to
Camp Miegs at Washington, D. C.,
then to Camp Merritt. N. J„ then to
France. Little did I think when I
went to church last Master in Cordell
that I would be going to church in the
Young Men's Christian Association in
the loft of an "old building that was
•sed in a part of a fort of Napoleon's
days. The Y, M. C. A. is certainly
doing a great work during thife war.
There is no place on can go even to
the front line trenches that you can't
find that a Y. M. C. A. man hasn't
been before you. These people over
here have certainly stood up wonder-
fully under the strain of this present
war. We expect to move again in a
few days then if I can I will write
and tell you something of the French
people, the country and thalr customs.
Wish you would write me and let me
know how much my dues are up to
June the first. 1 lost my pocket book
containing all ray receipts. "Will send
my dues then. Trust tfiat the lodge
is progressing as much as when I was
there and that I may hear from you
at an eary date. I beg to remain
