- system makes the installation of
gasoline pdwer plants that will
furnish light's and at the same
time charge d storage battery for
use when the engine isj not run-
ning This gives with the small
” est of plants : practically twenty-
four hour service the number of
lights furnished depending on the
size of the power plant ana storage

many nice improvements in the
way of buildings that it is time it
shook off -the darkness and got

Need to Know Names ’ 'T
pf Dur Eqem'ef
' Enid Oklaj Nov 14— It has
ybeen reported to the News that
there are people throughout the
country whqfare refusing to sign
the food pledge cards Some
through ignorance some saying
they are afraid to sign stating
that they do not -understand the
meaning of the cards And then
there are "others who absolutely
refuse to sign and have even
gone so far-according to reports
3§ to order their children to throw
the cards In the fire The plan is
to work through the Schools the
pupils taking the cards home in
Some cases to hive 1 their parents
sign them - ? - -
For the last "class of - citizens—
that is those persons who have re-
fused to sigh because they were
not in sympathy with the move-
ment it is well to’ state for- their
benefit that they may be compel-
led to submit to greater indignities
than the mere presentation of
card for their signature Iq Kans-
- as City and many other places the
committees in chage have had the
nan)e of the enemies of the copn
try published in the pres There
are steps right now in this city to
do the very same thing We neet
to know the names of the enemies
among us There are only two
ilde'tho(e for America and these
against America
In so many places in Oklahoma
the people-have left their work
and attended to road matters for
a day or so or have assigned 'to
themselves the task of completing
a certain amount of road in a day
so much the next dry and so on
until the first thing they knew
they had a system of good roads
' and were none the worse off from
a business standpoint Now if the
thing eould only be carried out on
the road fiorth of town it woulc
be a splendid advertisement for
Ringwood and everybody wouU
feel better for haring contribute
some of their time and energy to
a most important work

ization orders for the remainder of

t lousands of overcoats are being
delivered dally the supply soon
will be sufficient for the men yet

pleted and as the plans call for
more buildings than are necessary
to house the number of men draft-
ed as yet there will be plenty of
room even before all barracks are
inished
The men at the northern can-
tonments were fully supplied with
overcoats immediately on their
arrival At some of the southern
cantonments this was not consid-
ered necessary because of milder
weather Since winter has set in
lowever full clothing equipment
for the men will be provided be

Oil Dope '
5 It is looked upon by some as be-
ing an unfortunate occurrence
finding oil in the abandoned and
lugged well north of Lahoma
'his well was drilled something
like a year ago and was abandon-
ed as a dry hole Investigators
seems to have found oil in some
auantity byond what the driller
iscovered This find will not
change the opinion of many that
the oil was there and they knew
It all the time but it will make
trading and selling of land and
property difficult because land
leases in this field are classed as
worthless so far as oil and gas are
concerned but no owner of land
near this well and likely other
test propositions will consider any-
thing like a reasonable price for
his property
Along in the summer the Bra-
den well was closed down under
similiar circumstances the drillers
announcing a dry hole at a depth
of 2750 feet Still there are per-
sons who kept pretty close tab on
the operations there that are will-
ing to swear they have seen traces
of oil there Last accounts were
that the Utility people were fish-
ing for lost tools

The thing that bothers - us is
this: Some people object to being
Hooverized and at the same time!
they would not want to be Ger-
manized If they submit to the
first they stand a good chance of
missing the latter but if they
dont stand for the first they w ill
sure get the latter
The Boche who biindly follows
the lead of his government wiil
find himself in hell along between
Christmas and next 4th of July
Several thincs have happened
along about July 4th of different
years where the U S was con-
cerned and another big -happening
may be due along about the
next 4th of July that will give the
day added significance to the U
S as well as to the whole world
But for the Red Cross and Y
M C Aj the war would now be
in America The stout couraee of
these two branches of American
endeavor to win the war have
kept the Boche from our shores
