According to reports, our good friend
Pete McNutt at Sequoyah is very much in
love with the idea of running the clocks 1
hour ahead. Pete always rises with the sun
and the new time gives him an opportunity
to eat dinner 1 hour earlier.

Seemingly, the old political ring is climb-
ing back into the political saddle in an at
tempt to ride once more to glory. But Old
'Man Taxpayer is going to have a hand in
the game just the same as he did two years
ago. .

At a recent meeting of the Anti-Drain-
age organization in Claremore, a resolution
was read and approved unanimously t!
this orgainzation will, to the man, oppose
any candidate who aspires for office and is
in any way connected with or in favor of
promoting the proposed Drainage ditch in
Rogers County.

Judging from the property listed on' the
assessor's books this year, which has sue
ceeded in years gone by to evade taxpaying,
we have come to the conclusion that Alex
* A. Dennison, the present assessor would
make a danged good detective. Especially
are his efforts appreciated more at this
time when it is up to all of us to save and
to bear.the burden of taxation equally, nc
one shirking in giving in his property.
was but fairly under way when announce
ment came from that place to the effect
that $12,000 worth of the bonds had been
subscribed tor. The populace of the Inola
vicinity does not consist entirely of Amer-
icans of German blood, however, and the
balance of Inola's citizens will do them
selves justice to this occasion just as they
have in the past.
Gilbert R. Gregory, Cherokee citizen
Claremore, this week stepped into one
the local banks and said give it to me $6,000
worth of it what you call Liberty Bond>
Perhaps fhe bank official was astounded
but Gilbert produced the wherewithal an*
he now has $0,000 gilt edge security back oi
him and at tne same time assists the boys at
the front who are fighting for a just cause.
'Rah, for Gregory!

A Sailor Song.
In an unnamed port by an unnamed sea
There's an unnamed girl who waits for me;
But soon on an unnamed-day I'll trip
To this unnamed girl on an unnamed ship,
And then we'll hie to an unnamed spot,
Where an unnamed*parson will tie the knot
And then I'll give her a name, by Jove,
No * censor will ever remove!

RCCERS COUNTY ABST. CO.
Claremore, Okla.
Everywhere we look now days is the slo-
gan: "save, and help win the war." Right,
every word of it. And that is how the pres^
ent county administration is meeting witi
so much popularity when it is being learned
that the county government is run this
year on some $60,000 Jess than the previous
year. We wonder if the little editor up the
street will continue to harp on Mr. Slack's
and the other boys' economy record.
POTATO DEALERS REFUSE
SHIPMENTS AND GET IN BAD
Several dealers In potato** hava re-
fused to receive shipments lately and
us u result the Food Administration
for Oklahoma has recommended to
the Natlonul Food Administration
that their licenses be revoked
The inalu complaint made by the
firms was that potatoes hsd advanced
In price since the orders ware placed.
In some Instances dealers maintained
that the shipments were not In food
condition; In such case* the Pood Ad-
ministration offered to detormlne th*
amount of damage, and this offer was
accepted.
PotntonH are s vnhtalile article of
dint now since /the wheat supply W
limited. None will he permitted to
rot on the sidetracks by dealurs who
desire to return the shipments on a
count of a rise In price.
RUSSIAN-GERMAN OF 73
PLEDGES HIS SUPPORT
Win. Zlsmann, of near Stlllwatur,
writes the Food Administration In
Herman that he understands no Kng
llsh, but^hat he corresponds with aev
oral Uerman newspapers and will bo
Klad to do all within' his power lu
push the Food Conservation program
In his write-ups In the vurlous publi-
cations.
Loyalty in Oklahoma Is becoming
sontagious. Food habits are difficult
to change, but all cIushos of citizens
•re scceptlng the limits placed upon
scrtaln foods With" good grace. Ge<u
ian citizens are not lacking in their
support of the war program.
:L0UR RATION SIX
POUNDS PER PERSON
itfVhst Practically Amounts To a Flour
Ration Has Been Issued by th*
Food Administration.
The necessity of conserving what
wheat Is left has caused tho Food Ad-
ministration to advise all millers, doa!
ers and grocers that no person Is al-
lowed to purchase more than six
pounds of wheat fldur per month. Gro-
jers are forbidden to sell more than
:hls ration to each person and no ex-
:ra flour is to be sold because of the
presence of small children in the
'onvly.
"Bachelor", our correspondent at Sequo-
yah, in his last week's nevtfs says "the song
of the spring birds, the click of the corn
planter and the woa-gee, have begun to har-
monize in that locality during the past few
days; that several of the farmers in that
neighborhood have pledged themselves to
set aside one acre of oats, the proceeds to
be loaned to Uncle Sam to help whip the
Billie Kaiser." 'Rah for Sequoyah farm-
el's! *
The patriotic demonstration given here
last Sunday in commemoration-of the en-
try of the United States into the war, anii
participated in by the entire county wa
par excellence. A crowd of five-thousand
citizens assemb'ed in the parade to the fail
grounds .where they listened to two elegant
speeches by Pat Maloy of Tulsa, and Hend
erson S. Martin of Olathe, Kansas. This
crowd included practically every nationali-
y in America, and all were equal in their
enthusiasm.
FOOD BRIEFS
Pontotoc county has twenty-five
paluied food signs, lumber and work
'jelng donated by local citizens.
The Food Administration lias seized
considerable wheat that was bciuj
aoarded in Arizona.
Oklahoma's drive on the jack-rub-
jits has aaused us rcuch comment in
:he east as anything she has done in
;he way of aiding the food program.
We nee8 not have a concave front
to long as there are plenty of good
lubstltutes in this state.
The simple life is also the patriotic
>ne nowadays.
When you sit down to a meal think
f the allies who withstand Zeppelin
•aids and I e down with empty stora-
ichs.
Hand down to your posterity the
leritage that you helped in this great
iar by saving food to feed the Mi-
llers and the allies.

The effort on the part of the.national ad-
ministration to elect a Democratic senator
from the Republican state of Winconsin
failed, just as would such an effort of a Re-
publican administration to elect a Republi-
can senator from Texas or Arkansas. This
world war is not going to change the politi-
cal complexion of the various states to any
great extent. Domestic propositions are
more apt to make changes. The sound doc-
trines of the Republican party will be in
great demand to adjust commercial prol>
lems that will confront this nation at the
close of the war,, and the G. O. P. will be
ready to deliver the goods.—Vinita Jour-

James S. Davenport while in Miami last
week told a reporter of the Miami Record-
Herald that he would run for the Demo-
cratic nomination for Congress from this
district He mentioned that it is very im-
portant for the district to have a represen-
tative oflhe true Thomas Jefferson type of
democracy. The Vinita Journal says that
it is of the opinion that Mr. Davenport
could not support the American govern
ment and the President any stronger than
Congressman Chandler has done and that
one's affiliation has nothing to do in help-
ing to win this war. The Messenger's idea
of Mr. Davenport and his above assertion
is that he is capable of injecting most any
kind pirtiaan fading regardless of after ef-
fects on the people just so he can slide back
