Naomi White Geta a Raise -
Judge Case Tuesday granted Na-
omi White widow of Sickles an addi-
tion of $5 a month to the $10 which
she was already drawing Mrs White
has six chcildren The Tribune read-
ers of some four or five summers ago
will recall the drowning of a man in
the Washita river about four miles
southwest of this city on what is
known as the "lower” road to Ft
Cobb It was a peculiarly-distressing
accident He and another man or two
and their families were camped there
for an outing as we recall the cir-
cumstances Two if not three of the
men were engaging in the way of
sport by jumping down the right bank
memory is to the effect that the fam-
ily were in straitened circumstances
at that time
‘£35 place of residence G?ndfield
bridge when Mr White fell in such a Okla and Harry Powell 22 Fair-
manner as to break his neck Our view Okla The name of the woman
Pair of “White Slavers” Turned over
to Federal Authorities
One of the most brazen attempts-of
social offal to run the gauntlet of a
civilized community was pulled off
here the latter part of last week Two
men each accompanied by a woman
posing as husbands and wives put up
at the Royal rooms on Main street
Friday night It appears that the out-
fit had come here from Texas recent-
ly although their homes if we have it
right were in Oklahoma The men
gave their names as — but they may
have been far different — Ed Cathey
with’ Cathey was given as Helen
Stock and her age as 17 Cathey
stated that he has a wife -and three
children With Powell who claimed
to have been just from the army was
Myrtle Cullens a widow 23 years of
age who said that she has three chil-
dren— one at Clinton Okla and two
at Thomas Okla Cathey is a jitney
driver and gambler
All four were arrested on suspicion
by Sheriff Cox at noon Saturday He
took them to Hotel de Jail and gave
them quarters until Tuesday when he
turned them over to the federal au-
thorities who no doubt will see that
the opportunity to mete out adequate
punishment to the brazen quartet is
improved to the proper limit
EVERYBODY DECORATE
TO THE CITIZENS OF ANADARKO:
j The celebration of the birth of our nation and Caddo county’s
Victory “Home Coming” Jubilee July 4 should create a desire in
every one to decorate their places of business homes automo-
biles and vehicles of all kinds in flags and bunting in honor of
the heroes of the three American wars who will be our guests
on this occasion Let Old Glory fly from every housetop The
people of Caddo county are expecting a great deal from Ana-
darko Home Coming day and without the proper background
much in the way of artistic effect will be lost It is the request
of the decorating committee that each citizen shall consider
himself appointed as a committee of one to see that these plans
are carried out

NOTICE TO OUT-OF-TOWN BOYS AND GIRLS

AMERICAN COMMITTEES FOR
DEVASTATED FRANCE INC
National Fund Minimum $2000000 —
Oklahoma Quota $100000
The Oklahoma Committee of the
American Committee for Devastated
France has accepted a quota of
$100000 as this state’s share of the
national fund which is needed to carry
on this committee’s work- for the en-
suing year
Several states have already put on
their campaigns ' and a substantial
amount of money has been raised The
Oklahoma State Committee feels that
the week of July 4 will be the most ap-
propriate time to carry on the cam-
paign in this state since there would
be no United States and no Fourth of
July to celebrate if France had not
sent her sons and supplied money and
material without one particle of ad-
vantage for herself when our fore-
fathers were fighting for independ-
ence The following methods if carefully
followed will secure the quota in most
of the counties without any great ex-
penditure of effort on the part of any
one: '
A general solicitation should be
carried on at all Fourth of July gath-
erings The most feasible plan is to use
girls as tag sellers Tags will be fur-
nished from state headquarters in suf-
ficient quantities but none will be
sent out until the county chairman
makes requisition for a definite num-
ber By giving their all the people of
northern France have protected your
liberty your home and your business
The aumed homes the scarred earth
and the broken lives are terrible and
borne the brunt of the tremendous
struggle which has made liberty se-
cure for all time
“Am I my brother’s keeper?” has
come down the centuries with clearer
and clearer meaning surer and more
j sympathetic understanding
" If you could be in northern France
today you would find four hundred
square miles in which people are liv-
ing in quarries people living like rats
in cellars You would see villages with
not one wall standing and not one sign
of life yet at your aproach there
would appear shivering half starved
women and children who have return-
ed to their sacred hearthstones to find
—nothing They have no homes noth-
ing to build with no beds no blankets
no stoves nothing to cook with and
but little food yet you would likely
be asked to luncheon in a cellar to
share the family’s only dish — of len-
tils Money actually buys life in France
today Because it would not be just
for the people of the war devastated
area to carry their crushing burden
alone we tell you now of their great
need with the certain faith that you
will contribute to this fund for the peo-
ple of suffering but invincible France
Caddo county’s apportionment for
this great cause is $1000 H M Til-
ton has been appointed county chair-
man and will in the next few days
perfect the county organization It
will be the plan of the committee to
raise the larger part of this sum by
means of selling tags July 4 See else-

proclamation and the appeal from
