How do you like the new head of
the News
o
Ypres may yet prove the Waterloo
of the Kaiser Four times since the
war began have his troops made des-
perate attempts to capture the place
but the British have always held on
like a bunch of bulldogs It remains
to be seen whether or not the next
drue will shake their hold on the
place
o
The International Typographical
Union of America has 2500 members
in the army and navy Besides this it
has paid many thousands of dollars
to beneficiaries of members who died
in service and has purchased a quart-
er of a million dollars of Liberty
Bonds besides what individual mem-
bers have taken How is that for
patriotism?
o
Since the inauguration of the go
to work go to the army or go to jail
campaign by the county officials
there has been a very noticeable
change on the streets of Ada and
some faces which had been seen ev-
ery day for years are missing When
the Juries began to assess heavy fines
and jail sentences the joke was be-
ing carried too far for these gentle-
men of leisure to relish
The only way to secure industries
lor a town is for everybody to give
active support to those already there
and the same for others when once
secured If people persist in sending
their money away for things manu-
factured at home the community can
never prosper The rule that should
never be violated is patronize home
institutions and keep the money cir-
culating at home
o
Now that the war has gone back to
close range' fighting it Is reported
that the United States will supply its
soldiers with pump shotguns and
buckshot As a charge of buckshot
covers more territory than a single
rifle bullet it will be readily seen
that such a weapon could do terrible
execution at close range With the
Huns charging in close formation a
charge of buckshot could make sev-
eral sick at the stomach
o
Germany now demands that Rus-
sia release all able bodied Hun pris-
oners who may be sent to the
trenches again and continue to care
for those who are incapacitated In
return she will send back all the in-
capacitated Russian prisoners and
hold the able bodied ones lest Rus-
sia might renew the war The kaiser
threatens to capture Petrograd un-
less this demand is complied with
Just another example of the Prussian
idea of might making right
o
Another startling bit of evidence
of how the Huns planned the war
comes from S J Vigg county attor-
ney of Woods county who came to
America from Austria at the age of
11 and was naturalized on reaching
Ins majouty He leoeived orders from
the Austrian consul at St Louis in
May 1914 more than two months be-
lore the war began to report to the
consul or else return to Austria for
military duty proving that the cen-
tral powers were putting the finish-
ing touches on their preparations for
the world war Of course he paid no
attention to this insolent demand for
he is a thoroughly loyal American
citizen and has no sympathy with
the military masters of his native
country whose tyranny he came to
America to escape
It is not to be supposed that Italy
will bite very eagerly at the separate
peace proposal said to have been
made by Austria The example of
Russia and Ukraine are too recent
for the Italians to take a chance of
becoming a victim through like ma-
neuvers It is also reported that the
kaiser will soon propose a peace bas-
ed on the principle of no annexation
and no indemltles but it is remem-
bered that that was the same basis
proposed to the Russians but when
once in the power of the Huns the
deluded Russians were made to give
up just about every mile of territory
the Teutons had grabbed and promise
an enormous indemnity under the
guise of making good losses of Ger-
man subjects resulting from the Rus-
sian invasions of East Prussia in the
early days of the war
V HOME LABOR
The question of broomcorn as a
money crop this year especially on
land where wheat has failed is being
talked about pretty generally In Wes
tern Oklahoma Broomcorn lends It-
self especially to substitution of this
kind and there is little doubt but
that the price will be high and the
market good The chief question to
be considered is that of labor If we
are to figure on about one man to
every three acres of broomcorn the
lihor propnMtlnn should be figured
out In detail before the crop is plant-
ed A' e there men In the neighbor-
hood who can be hired when this
broomcorn Is ready io harvest?

Voters In Ada and perhaps all oth-
er parts of Pontotoc county will have
to get a hustle on themselves if they
register in time to vote Friday the
dent that with the possible exception loth Is the last day and voters are
of wheat harvest time Oklahoma J not doing much so far As explained
folks will have to depend on Oklaho-
ma labor pretty generally this year
for all the operations of the farm
This means that every community
will have to solve Its own labor prob-
lems as best it can and that the solu-
tion will largely rest on the folks In
that community who are accustomed
to doing farm work There has been
quite a great deal o( talk about clos-
ing the stores in the towns and get-
ting the merchants out to help dur
ing the rush periods on the farms In
one sense this is a fine thing It will
help the town merchant to under-
stand more fully the problems of the
farmer and the labor conditions un-
der which the farmer must work But (
so far as real help goes in disposing
of the farm work when the town
man goes to the farm the local Red
Cross society should also get ready to
do business on a large scale right at
home
The oyernment has worked out a
very complete Bystem whereby the
on to the state and national labor
agencies But I have yet to learn
from any of these state or national
labor agencies about any supply of
farm labor which they can send to
Oklahoma in case we asl it And
right there is where the shoe pinches
Crop plans this year more than ever
before will depend very largely on
the available home supply of farm

Every purchaser of war savings
stamps performs a distinct individual
service to his country and to our

o
For the third time America has
answered the challenge of the kais-
er in his attempt to conquer the
world by oversubscribing the Liberty
Loan The American people are
more aroused now than ever before
and In a mood to respond to any
call made by the government neces-
sary to aid In winning the war They
are grimly determined to put an end
to kaiBerism and Prussianlsra for all
time and are ready to make real sac-
rifices to accomplish this end It is
over the top for Americans in every
war enterprise and the success of the
three Liberty Loan Saving Stamp
and Red Cross campaigns are just a
mere beginning of what the people
at home will do when the necessity
arises The soldiers In France are
speaking for themselves by giving
the Huns the surprise of their lives
o
The attention of the public has
been focused so closely on the battle
in France that little attention has
been given to the campaigns in Asia-
tic Turkey With armies moving
steadily from Bagdad on one side
and through Palestine on the other
the situation does not look promis-
ing for the Turks The Germans are
not able to spare many more men to
aid the Turks and If the war lasts
another year it Is not Improbable
that the British will be at the rear
gates of Constantinople and the doom
of the Turkish empire sealed This

istence to threaten the safety of the
World in after years! Why send out
boys the best we’ve got to Europe
to fight if at the same time we are
determined to give the devilish
monster a Bound thrashing and let
his poisonous nostrils still exhale the
poisonous breath! When America
goes forth to do a job she usually
does it in same fashion and that

YELLOW DOGS
Are you a yellow dog? No? How do
you know? If you have read the story
In The Saturday Evening Post by
Henry Irving Dodge probably you
are convinced that you have been a
yellow dog and did not realize it
i t 1
both young and old An organiza-
tion of the young boys of this local-
ity to stamp out yellow dogisni might
not be a bad thing
American people are too prone to
make rash statements and not be
able to back them up The rumors
about the Red Cross frauds were
nothing more or less than some at-
tempt to slow up the war work of
America These rumors were carried
about by yellow dogs or those too
yellow to come out in the open and
say they knew It to be true or to be
false If something is going wrong
it ought to be corrected Construc-
tive criticism is welcomed by all
phases of the government in trying
to banish from the earth Hunism and
Kalserism Backbiting yellow doglsm
and calamity howlers are things not
wanted now and never

STRUGGLING RUSSIA
The Russian people are becoming
tired of the Bolshevlkl rule as all
sane people knew they would become
The Bolshevlkl are out-czaring the
czar They are killing where the
former rulers simply imprisoned
The revolution is turned Into a farce
and blood still flows
More than a year ago when the
Russian revolution occurred the peo-
ple shouted with Joy They felt that
the long reign of terror and slavery
1 was at an end They felt that for
I the first time In history the shackles
had been loosened and they would
be permitted to toil and get the
fruits of their toll The Jews felt
that the pale restrictions had been
removed and the Russian Jew would
be able to make an honest living
and do it without bribery and In-
sults Tired of slavery tired of war the
people did not care for carrying on
the fight against the German men-
ace The greatest and closest menace
had been removed Why fight to re-
move abstract things they could not
conceive oft Thus when the Bol-
shevikl managed to get Into control
stud began to luake overtures of
peace to Oermany the Russian peo-
ple believed the day of happiness
through every vale and over every
hillside in the great expanse of
country i
The Bolshevik! rule set in For a
time citizens breathed deeply ns a
result of the prospect of the mlllln-
eum 'Then followed the reign of
terror Honest citizens were killed
because they said what they thought
‘Men who had formerly upheld the
Kerensky government were thrown
into jail The old slavery had re-
turned Increased with a goodly per-
centage '
Now the oppressed people realize
they have been tricked by the Ger-
man rulers - That Lenine and Trot-
sky were in the employment of the
German officers few well informed
people doubt In their sorrow and
remorse they begin to turn to the
Allies for help and comfort (The
Allies will give them the aid and
comfort asked for but the first de-
mand will be the expqlsion of those
two rank traitors Lenine and (Trot-
sky As long as these snakea lahsbit
the globe the globe will be tdo
small for Russians and Allies to ml
on peacefully
We see a brighter ‘day for 'Rus-
sia but the brighter day lies beyond
a dark night ' During the interven-
ing night the time for ridding the
world of the two arch traitors blood
will flow
o
DISPOSITION OF GERMANY
Dhen we went to war President
Wilson ably made the distinction be-
tween the German people and the
German government declaring that
we were fighting for the first and
fighting against the second That
distinction still holds When we
fight to blot out Kalserism we fight
Frankly the- freeing of the German
peiple Is not our object our object is
the freeing of ourselves Equally
frankly we realize that the ’German
people do not want to be freed Their
bondage seems to be a sweet bond-
age Theyj prefer so it Beems to
worship at the feet of the Kaiser to
standing free and unshackled and
worshipping only the God of the
Universe We shall free the Germans
because their freedom must come as
a result of our own
Bat what is Kalserism? It Is
now extant
While freeing the German people
therefore we must kill a big bunch
of German men land incidentally
German women and children When
we win as win we will the ideals
will not be changed When the army
of Hindenburg is sent belter skelter
alross the Rhine the threads of the
Kalserism fabric will begin to give
way a bit but It will by no means
be torn asunder Before the fabric
will be destroyed the German peo-
ple must be separated- new combina-
tions must be made new govern-
ments set up new officers put in
charge
awhile
Now that Britain and France and
Italy have cut off some of the heads
of the many headed Hydra why not
let America cut off the rest of them!
Germany as a state must be destroy-
ed France can well afford to ex-
tend her boundaries tu the Rhine
Poland rebuilt reconstructed could
easily control the territory east of
the Rhine Denmark would like to
have back her colonies and we should
like to see them back Ita’y should
be given what territory she wants
on the Adriatic The Balkan states
might be put into a United States
of Southern Europe and given a re-
publican form of government Poor
Austria would be permitted to ch lose
a real ruler instead of the puppy-
head now on the throne but a few
thousand square miles must be cut
off tf Austrian territory and the peo-
ple permitted to choose the form of
government In other words the
German people have forfeited their
right to have a hand in government
of any kind They have been given
a chance and have made a damnable
mess of it

IDEAS i
(By Roger W Babsoa)
A little more 'than 100 years ago
the last real world war was at its
height Instead of Germany trying to
conquefl Europe it was France under
the leadershp of Napoleon which
was trying to rule the-world Yes
then England and the other great na-
tions were fighting Napoleon as we
are now fighting the Kaiser
Napoleon had been pretty success-
ful ip smashing Europe and stoud un
the shore of northern France near
where our own troops are today wait
ing for a wind to take his troops to
England In those days England was
still the goal as she is today but
armies then had to depend on sail-
ing ships and it was impossible to
cross the English Channel from
France except with a southerly
breeze
An American nsmed Fnlton who
had been ridiculed by his own people
here at home went to Francs at that
time and presented an Idea to a great
general He took with him a model
of a steamboat Napoleon looked at
it shrugged his shoulders and cast
It aside saying: “If it were possible
to build a ship to go without sails
my generals would have invented it
before this"
Hence Robert Fnlton broken
hearted was obliged to ' return to
New York and Wait until the Ameri-
can people were willing to give him
a hearing Yes it was some time be-
fore he was allowed to build bis
“crazy steamboat” on the Hudson
River which finally made him world
famous In the meantime Napoleon
unable to get to England was oblig-
ed to fight It out at Waterloo where
he was bitterly defeated
I often wonder if many of us em-
ployers are not like Napoleon when
one of our own people comes to us
with a new Idea How many of us
take pains to encourage and listen to
those who came to us? And yet some
one tomorrow may bring us a great
idea Wilt we fake the trouble to
listen? Let us remember how the
great general Napoleon was brought
to his defeat largely because he
failed to listen to the American In-
ventor Fulton
Whatever we employers do let no
reader forget Fulton Whether or
not your employer listens to you
stick to your idea Just the same If
Fulton hadn’t stuck to his there
would be no steamboat today If
Marconi hadn’t been full of courage
there wouldn't have been any wire-
less today If Langley and Wright
hadn’t shut their eyes to laughter
and derision there would be no fly-
ing machine today If Lake had not
been willing to be jeered at there
would be no submarine today More-
over if our own government had en-
couraged those people before the idea
got rooted in other countries there
perhaps would have been no war to-
day We all remember how when last
month the news was published of a
new German gun shelling Paris at a
distance of 75 niiles the experts said
“Impossible it can’t be done”
The employer who refuses to list-
en to anyone with a new Idea is a
lazy ass The employe who gives up
at the first rebuff is a silly fool Both
are losing a great opportunity for
not talking together “Get together”
must be the watchword in every fac-
tory and office from now on
High School decided to raise chick-
ens for the Red Cross Several mer-
chants loaned Incubators Tbelr
chickens are hatched and sold for the
nice sum of 91500 One of the most
unique girts was Friday when five
little girls namely Nedra and Jos-
ephine Bullock Lady Percy Shaw
Nelle Chapman and Elizabeth Wim-
blsh walked into Red Cross head-
quarters and handed the secretary
9135 proceeds of an entertainment
they had given They have organized
a “Red Cross Amusement Club” and
expect to give little entertainments
all along
