ample of a truly devoted christ-
tian she was charitable and kind

part in relieving the care and
sharing the joys and sorrows of

FROM OKLAHOMASTATE COUNCIL OF DEFENSE
Machinery or Flesh
“That h one place where they
have gone a little too far” re
marked soifie one on reading the
request of the Council of Nation-
al Defense tnat the use of gaso-
line for pleasure riding be dis-
continued Tnat parson didn’t
think - Y
Despite the enormous produc-
tion America will face a short-
age of gasoline and crude oil
products for the use o f our
thousands of airplanes ' battle-
ships torpedo boats destroyers
etc If we are to compete with
our enemies it is necessary that
these war machines be efficient
in the highest degree
And there is another angle
The more of the -truggIe that
can bb borne by iron and steel
the less must be borne by' the
flesh of American boys Conser-
vation o f gasoline is necessary
to the use’of machines of war
When you burn a barrel of gaso-
line for your own selfish pleasure
you are thrusting the lads of
your own community just that
much closer to the mouths of a
Prussian cannon
Germany Must Rule the Earth?

In the first place he destroys

that is forage for figra stock

Wheat is too high to sow on

Do You Want To Be
A Red Cross Nurse?
We have printed in this issue
of the Republican-Record a
special illustrated article by Jane
Delano chairman of the nation-
al committee of the Red Cross
nursing service telling the re-
quirements for war nursing and
describing the noble work being
done- by American women now
in field service in Europe This
article should be specially inter-
esting to those active in local
Red Cross chapter labors

stove when suddenly she heard
the coffee boil over she turned
real quick to attend to it and in

the draft law law against -conservation
of food afrainsb every
movement of the government
that has for its object the bring-
ing of the war to a victorious
close at a cost of the fewest
possible number of lives Some
go far enough that they can be
placed in prison Others are
more guarded in their statements
but are just as dangerous
A number of reports have
come to - the Oklahoma State
Council of defense concerning
such agitators When 9w0rn
evidence has been submitted it
has beqn turned o rer to the fed-
eral authorities We are request-
injrjthat patriotic citizens send in
reports of any such agitators of
whom they know Their work
is a crime against the boys of
every community whose very
lives depend upon their having
the undivided support of the na-
tion Boys and Girls Save Seed
Eighteen thousand boys and
girls in Oklahoma members of
boys’ and girls’ clubs will serve
their country and reap a profit
for themselves at the same time
by saving garden seed Federal
and state agricultural authorities
are asking for concerted action
by club boys and girls in the
preserving of field and garden
seeds of all kinds -Besides
jiatbering enough beet lettuce
radish mustard tomato and
other kinds 'of seed for home
use each is asked to have some
for others who cannot save It
may be impossible to obtain good
garden seed next spring
No Danger in "Minimum Price
Farmers should not confuse
the “minimum price with price
fixings The setting of a mini-
mum is merely a step to insure
the farmer against the possibility
of a loss It does not prevent a
higher price for wheat
"
Morally if not legally it is a
crime now to waste food even if
the waster is eminently able
financially to waste it The act
is a crime against every citizen
who is attempting to do her part

business of winning the war

Mr Badger came puffing up the
street with as much effort nnil cuntrao-
lion as the 5 :33 accommodation w hit-h
ho had Just left smoking Its way nois-
ily to the next suburb
On belli sides of the street very com-
fortable looking frame-houses much
terraced had the appearance of two
rows of soldiers marching sideways up
very steep steps Of course In summer
this illusion was softened considerably
by the trees from which the street de-
rived Its name With all of Its steep-
ncssand sameness Jdnple lane had
long been the harbor of '"caste” in the
little borough of Glenport which'waB
neither a glen nor a port by the way
About the sixth houe up on the right
side of the street was a house of In-
discriminate brown wide porches a
turreted effect on one side and a foun-
tain -
Toward this house Charles Badger
plutocrat now turned the tall of his
eye as he had every night summer
winter and seasons In between for a
number of years Sometimes It was
only the flutter of a curtain sometimes
the opening of the front door to get the
evening paper In the spring It was the
hyacinth and tulip beds that needed at-
tention but always when the S :32 train
came in there was evidence that Rosa-
lind Murray was somewhere on the
premises
To go back a bit into the archives of
Glenport: l-e Badgers and the Mur-
rays had one time divided the honors
of overlord And In those days before
Sylvester Murray had lost his fortune
in the failure of the First National the
scion of one house was betrothed to the
daughter of the ’other
But when the Murray fortune was
swept away Althea Badger Charles’
mother had taken her darling aside
nnJ showed him his duty not to the
girl he was to marry but to her So
he had allowed Rosalind to withdraw
from the contract when she" also had
Insisted
Years' had rolled along and brought
vacancies In both families In fact
there was no one left at the Badgers’
but Charles and none left at the Mur-
rays’ but Rosalind
This evening Charles looked as usual
when he was directly across from the
gate The tulip beds were gorgeous In
4lioir reds and yellows the hyacinths In
their purples and pinks And from the
shrubbery beside the house came the
languorous perfume of lilacs -A bird
perched on Cupid’s good wing 'In the
fountain suddenly let out a volley of
joyous notes - N
Charles paused to hear and to have a
better view Then he looked keenly
around for Rosalind He didn’t see her
It was curious
Ue turned again and Went on disap-
pointed It was Unusual He had
learned to look for her and to count
upon his evoning greeting
Again came the bird’s call and at the
same Instant a whiff of lilac made Its
way to Charles’ nostrils He was feel
Jng very curious and withal lonely
He stopped again
Still no sign of Rosalind
Then he did an unusual thing for
somehow or other he seemed t have
lost the power of will His feet seemed
to carry 1dm forward without the least
volition on his part He stepped off the
pavement crossed the street and found
ldmself opening the rusty Iron gate and
mounting the variously Inclined steps
to the house he had not visited for
jears'
The next instant he was ringing the
bell and trying in vain to think of what
excuse he should give when Rosalind
opened the door
But he need not have worried for
Rosalind didn’t open the door A
stranger answered the bell an older
woman with sharp features black
dress and a gingham apron
“Is Miss Murray at home?” inquired
Charles startled
“Miss Murray - doesn’t live here any
more” answered the woman “She
moved out today”
“Oh yes I see” stammered Charles
turning to go “I beg your pardon”
Then : “She didn’t say where she waS
going did she?”
“No She’s going to be a nurse I be-
lieve but I don’t know more than that
I’ve bought some of her things I’ni
going to conduct a fashionable board-
ing house here and I hope you won’t
mind mentioning It to your friends”
Through his brain were pounding the
words “Fifteen years and you’ve lost
her fifteen years and you’ve lost her
Fool 1 Fool 1”
Ho reached the Iron street gate at
last and agntn turned heavily up the
hill the same' words ringing In his
brain
Then he heard someone calling and
looking up he saw Rosalind coming
dawn the steps of the house next door
“I’ve been waiting to say good-by”
she said quietly “I’m going away
Charles and may not see you agalnor
a long- long while”
But Charles had her hand and "held
It as If he would never let go “No
you're not going away Rosy you’re
going to stay here and marry me this
very day I’ve got a duty to perform
us well as you I’ve got to spend the
rest of my life trying to make you as
happy as It’s possible for a woman to
be Rosy” he pleaded “don’t go I
know ill die If you do”
“Well If It’s to be my duty to save
lives Charles” she answered half se-
riously “I suppose It may as well be
yours”
