Shattuck Chosen -I as
r Meeting Place of Ameri-
- - can Legion -1
- JOIN TEE AMERICAN LEGION
AH discharged soldiers and sailors
will Thfft at Shattuck Saturday night
October 4th in the 1 0-0: FIIal
for the purpose of organizing the
American Legion i A meeting was
- held at that - place Saturday night
where it“ was decided that an All-Ellis
County Legion would be organized
Permanent officers and deflate itteet-
‘ ing dates together with a name for
the Ellis County Post will be' chosen
at that time
There are about 300 ex-service men
in the county they have all done
‘ tbdr duty in the camps and on the
' battle fields when they left their
homes the people of the Nation ' was
expecting a certain obligation of these
- boy? fbey have fulfilled that obliga-
tion and 'the expectations of their
people as the chosen representatives
of the people they have covered them-
selves with everlasting glory and hon-
' or and no man has a ' right to be
ashamed of the uniform he has a
right to demand that his services be
recognized
Without organization the soldier
will never be able to take the place
in civil life that the nation Wes him
he wifi go on' year after year and
never be thought of as a factor In
the -up-building of bb! community
with organization and by-working in
a body he is force to' be reckoned
with the crook ‘ amt politician must
take him into account and know that
he is a powerful force behind our peo-
ple and our government ’"The pres-
ent Congress has treated the soldier
pretty-tuff in some manners and the
soldier must demand that (us wrongs
: ' be righted without organization the
soldier is ineffective but when' he
joins an organisation composed of
his own kind and makes demands he
shal) be heard by the “powers that be”
- Let’s get together boys and remind
the Trench Dodgers” and those who
would take away our just rewards
that we are from now on hence-forth
" and forevermore a force in the politi-
cal and domestic' life of our county
Let’s show them that we can fight the
Bobheviki in the United States as well
as w? did in Russia- that we can fight
-the enemies' of Democracy and good
government as Well at home as we did
on the western front - We were good
soldiers the whole world says we were
he finest army in the field now we
can he good citizens and " “Carry on”
here at home jujt as Well- as we did
on theother side 1 " Join the Legion
help make that old maxium "In union
there ia strength” felt as it was never
felt before we can “fall in” and do a
few stunts here at home not only for
our own benefit but for the benefit of
others

v Has Done Great Work -For
Americans
Vigorously indorsing the work of the
Salvation Army Brigadier General
Soy Hoffman issued a statement last
light recommending tbe home service
Campaign eet for September 29 to the
generous attention of the citizens ot
Oklahoma '' -
“I gave all that I could give in the
ipring drive in Oklahoma City and
will do all within my power to help
them ' in their work ovei the south-
west’’ Mr -Hoffman said “The work
t the Salvation Army came to my
attention on numerous -occasions in
he- World War while on duty in' for-
eign fields For sheer efficiency and
tvhrietian spirit the organization was
not surpassed by any -
‘It is with a sense ot deep gratitude
for the work done among the soldiers
In France and on this side that I
warmly commend the Salvation Army
home service campaign to the gener-
ous consideration ot the citizens - of
Oklahoma -T
am sure tha money given to this
organization will' be used for the bet:
terment of conditions among our poor
Oklahoma Is a progressive and grow-
ing state cannot affotd to overlook U
welfare of our poor people
’The Salvation Army by virtue of
its peculiar organization Is probably
better fitted to enter this particular
field than any other oganization that
baa come to my attention" ' '
In the discussion of the League of
Nations those who stood back seven
thousand miles from the recent con-
llict in Enropc seem to be the first to
condemn such a League Tbe man
who served for his $3300 per and
“Corned Willie” is not considered
ilany people forget that the American
soldier fought to prevent aI1 future
wars he stood the acid test to make
the “Brotherhood of Nations” possible
)o you'want to see his effort? come
td naught? Will the American people
allow their boys to 'be disappointed
jy a few contrary Senators who did
their overseas service in the Halls of
Congress No the American people
ore made of finer stuff - We win bnd-
die call the Company to At-ten-tion
the people are going to demand that
the League of Nations become a fact
The attention of our people has
been centered on the League of Na-
tions for the past several weeks the
tour being made by tbe President has
brought everyone in our Country to
face the fact that a number of milita-
ry leaders and politicians of tbe Unit-
ed States are fighting the League at
every opportunity ' -
The leading argument against ' the
League is that Great Britian and her
colonies have six votes to tbe one held
by the United States We grant that
this charge is true jbut at the same
time tbe one Vote held by the United
States it just 09 powerful as the six
held by Great Britian and her posses-
sion Any act or measure passed by
the League of Nations must be pass-
ed by an unanimous vote therefore
the one vote of the United States cast
against a measure is just os powerful
os all the votes cast for it by the oth-
er Nations Canada Australia and
theother British possessions refused
to take part in the League of Nations
unless they could be represented
They are practically independent of
England and did not feel that Eng-
land could properly represent them in
the League of Nations therefore
France and the United States decided
that they should have their own rep-
resentatives They have done as
touch in the giving of blood and treas-
ure as any other nation to win the
war and it seems to us that it is im-
proper and unjust to ark them to sit
out of the game and allow England to
represent -them bn the League of Na-
tion Remember our obe vote is -just
as ‘affective as all their votes a meas-
ure must be passed by an unanimous
vote not a majority ' 1
Another leading argument against
the League is that other nations can
order American troops to fight on for-
eign soil ' This is a lie of the first
magnitude Only an act of Congress
can send American boys away from
our shores to fight ' Congress must
act before American troops can take
part in any war Other Nations can-
not order our boys to fight under the
covenant of the League of Natipns
The most malicious lie advanced js
that the United States must help to
put down rebellion in Ireland should
the Irish rebel against English rule
The covenant of tbe League of Na-
tions allows all people the right of
self determination ' In othej words
all peoples and nations have the right
to choose their own government If
Ireland wishes to rebel against Eng-
lish rule that is her business and the
League of Nations can have nothing
to say in the matter ' The league
deals with International affaiirs and
not domestic quarrels
To get down ' to the real fight
against the League of Nations it will
aid in stopping all wars General
Wood hacked by Senators Johnson
Knox Lodge Borah and the old
Roosevelt factions wants a large and
powerful army in thb country The
League of Nations makes it impossi-
ble for any Nation to have such an
army The people of America do not
want a large military establishment in
this country therefore they are going
to demand the League of Nations as
a precaution against- this verr thing
It b either the League of Nations or
a Military Rule in thb United States
choose and forever hold your peace

CITY NEEDS A FIRST
CLASS CLOTIilKO STOitE
A Good Opening' With a
Prosperous Future For
' A Clothier
PLENTY OF BUSINESS HERE
Arnett is badly in need of a first-
class clothing and gents furnbhing
store this thing of patronizing tbe
mail order house and out of town
store has proven very unsatisfactory
most of our people dmuld rather ppeiul
their money at home young men are
growing up every day and they want
good -clothing shoes and hats and
they are going to- have them it seems
to us that some' one with a little push
pep and business ability would be
glad to start a first-class store in the
town where the men can buy their
necessary clothing to wear to the oc-
casion of state their wedding and
their funeral
Crop conditions are of the best the
boys are home from the army and
everything mokes a good up-to-date
clothing store look like a real busi-
ness proposition ' There are a num-
ber of suitable buildings ia the town
where such a store could be opened
rent is cheap and business men of the
town would be glad to offer their as-
sistance to help a new firm get such a
business started
We can show a lire merchant a
hundred men' in thb neighborhood
who will spend at least a hundred
dollars a year with such a store if
they ’ are ' accorded fair treatment!
Arnett wants a- first-class clothing
store and the peoplehjre-abouts are ’'
willing to go the limit to get’ such an
establishment started in our town
If you know of a live merchant who
is looking for a location where he can
have the support of one-third of the
population of tbe best County in
Oklahoma teO him to hit the trail
for Arnett
