SOLDIERS TO BE GIVEN FURLOU-
GHS TO HARVEST WHEAT CROP
boards to consider all applications
for furlough whether men are Reg-
ular army National Guard or 'Na-
tional army'
"In this connection you are ad-
vised that local boards must not
furnish transportation or meal tick-
ets to the registrant for the pur-
pose of returning home or return-
ing to camp
“Your attention Is called to the
fact that the furlough of men from
the army at this time will neces-
sarily weaken the army and that no
man should be furloughed unless he
is a farmer and able of rendering
valuable services on the farm and
he should not be furloughed for
any other purpose i The camp com-
mander will in all probability ac-
cept your recommendation and you
are as much Interested In the out-
come of the war as they It is
therefore very important' that you
closely Investigate and - recommend
for furlough only such men as
you are satisfied will actually con-
tribute to the production of food-
stuff You should not hesitate to
refuse to recommend when you
think the same is not merited In
other words keep this in mind
‘What Is best for the Nation’ ”
GIPSON Adjutant General
Tbe application foissfurloughs and
necessairly the recommendations
from this county will probably be
heavier than most any other coan-
ty In the state owing to tbe In-
creased acreage and the probability
of the biggest wheat crop In tho
history of the county George W
Vincent tnrm labor supervisor lor
Oklahoma and Arkansas was here
tbe Drat of the week and made
the statement that 70 per cent of
the Oklahoma wheat crop was lo-
'ated In five northern Oklahoma
counties
E R Clark of Aline was a coun-
ty seat visitor the first of the week
He stated that the fine rains would
cause the planting of a vast amount
of feed stuff in the southern part
of the county
