VOTED SCHOOL LEVY.
I The school election yesterday to
1 supplement the levy was a very quiet
an air. Not half of the people in
I town knew an election was to be held
and those who did know it were so
little concerned about it. thai, they
failed to vote. The cause of this
j apathy was due to the fact that there
I was no opposition to it, or so little,
| rather, that it could not be called op-
position.
The total vote cast was seventy-
two, seventy of which were for the
levy and two against it.—Hobart Re-
publican.

Oklahoma City, June 1.
1 Patrons of hotels and restaurants
| are notified that the necessity for
I saving jneats_has come ayain, and
I that one of the best ways of saving
: meats is to cat more vegetables.
In in appeal sent out today by
Joseph Huckins Jr., State Food Chair-
man, for the Oklahoma Food Adminis-'
traion, he said:
"In ordinary tim-s the person who
eai: more than ok^ a day risks ids
health.
In these times, wht. V:If m Europe
is on the verge of starvation when up-
wards of five million men. womta .• .1 '
children, have yielded their' lives l<;
hunger, and when the vitality of al-
most twenty million more has been!
weakened to an extent that makes
many of them practically useless as
wage-earners, present or future, the ,
American who eats more meat than
1 necessary is not a patriot.
At this season of the year, when
fresh vegetables ad fruits are coming
into the markets, when every day
they are getting cheaper, there should
be no excuse for anybbdy in this
country to eat a large quantity of
meat. Diet should bp varied. The hot
season demands the consumption of
less meat, and more vegetables. Ev-
erybody should use more milk. Salads
Should be eaten."
CAREFUL WITH PEACHES.
Camp Travis, June 1.
Peach marmalade is a delicacy, par-
ticularly in an army camp, but the
« ty it is being served recently is not
at all popular and steps may be taken
to stop any further distribution at
Camp Travis. Soldiers have recently
been getting a taste of it on their let-
ters or Hewspapers. -Friends and par-
ents of the soldier boys have thought
to send them fresh peaches in flimsy
containers. "The large volume of
mail received at the camp makes ten-
der handling of mail sacks an impos-
sibility and peaches have been smash-
ed and their juices and meats distrib-
uted among the remainder of the
mail unless the containers are heavy
enough to stand some pretty hard
jolts. The peaches never reach the
parties intended and the good humor
of many is spoiled when oftentimes
the most important or most eagerly
sought-for word in a letter fs nothing
more than a stain of peach juict.
TWO IN JAIL.
D. P. Horton and A. U Henard are
in jail, failing to make bond of $1,000
each charged with adultery, Mrs. Nora
Burke being the "woman in the case."
Horton was held at a hearing Wednes-
day and Henard was held' Thursday,
being arrested following the arrest of
Horton. Horton has four children,
Henard one and Mrs. Burke two.
E. E. Wies, pharmacist at Ira Tay-
lor's drug store, and his brides are
expected to arrive Wednesday from
Higgins, Texas where they have vis-
ited his mother the past few days.
HOLD TO DUNKIRK.
LAMBERT BACK FROM TEXAS.
J. H. Lambert, returned Thursday
evening from a week's stay with the
boys at Camp Travis. Mr. Lambert
had spent a week there last Decem-
ber, and was greatly Impressed with
the progrc 3 the boys had made, both
in appearance and spirits. He says
that every man of them from this
county is the picture of health and
anxious to get into the job of rubbing
< ' inai.y off the face of the world's
Aside from his son Philo,' he
mixed with Messrs. Haxton, Gault,
Harris, Bachelor, Holden, Stites, Mc-
Kee, Brence, House and Hilling, all
in the early contingents from this
county.
■Mr. Lambert states that if every
citizen of the county could have the
opoprtunity to spend a week with the
boys at camp that they would realize
what the training was doing for them,
physically, and would have a different:
idea of army life.
JIM MURDOCK TO OKMULGEE.
Jim Mnrdock and family were here
latter part of the week. They were
removing from Frederick to Okmul-
gee, where Jim has bought a half in-
terest in the Karcher Motor Co., cap-
italized at $50,000. This company
handles the Dodge and the Packard.
His Frederick agency will be in
charge of Mr. Garst of the C. H. Mur-
dock local agency.
London, June 1.—Dunkirtr, "The
City of Dreadful Night," it is pointed
out by a corespondent of the Daily
Mail ,has been metioned perhaps more
often in French cummuniques during
this war than any other city. There
are weeks when it is rare for a com-
munique not to conclude with the
words "Enemy airplanes dropped
bombs on Dunkirk during the night,"
or "A long range guu has fired into
Dunkirk."
That seaport, the nearest of all to
the firing line, is now scarcely less
dear to the hearts of the French peo-
ple than Verdun, and, like Verdun, it
has been decorated for its courage
under fire. Recently France'? biggest
ship was launched there.
■ 'rhe amazing thing about Dunkirk,
, the writer continues, is that it is still'
•a city. Its. inhabitants, refusing to
j leave, have earred on its normal life
with indomitable courage. Tramway
j cars run as usual along its cobbled
streets and well-stocked shops are
jopen every day. Weekly in the main
square, market is held and the count-
iless stalls are well patronized by
[shrewd housewives.
j The frequent bombardments from
sea, land and air are not laughed at,
i although they are taken as a matter
,of course. Bedrooms, instead of being
;on the upper floors of the houses, are
now in the cellars, and public dugouts
dot the town as do the air raid shel-
ters of London.
The Red Cross is the heart of the
wond. Your money will keep it
throbbing.
