lii- Represented.
O lahoma City, Jan. 9.—A meet-
ing was been culled at Tulsa by the
'iui hamber of commerce for Jan-
Uaiv to to consider wajs and mean.-,
vi av,..ictin" industrial enterprises to
Oklahoma. Sec re La ry Clarence Doug-
las ui the Tulsa «. ham bur of tom-
metce, urges all commercial clubs,
kui.neji men, intension workers of
the • > I..ho,ii,i Agricultural ( ollege
and the Oklahoma University, farm
agents, bankers ami piogressrve farm-
ers meet in Tulsa to talk over Lhe re-
louiu's of each cummunity and to
agree on a practical plun for placing
such information in the hands of
northem and eastern investors with <i
view t<> interesting them in Oklahoma
industrial enterprises.
The federal war board has decreed
that there shall be no additional in-
dustrial enterprises established in th
industrial section in the present north-
east Atlantic area. Industrial Com-
missioner R. W. Hockaday of the M.
K. A: T. railway thiiiKS that in view of
this fact there will be a splendid op-
"ortuni* - now to get some of the new
industrial enterprises to seek locations
in the southwest if business men of
this section will get together and
agree on a concerted plan of -iction.
"Oklahoma has about eighty billion
tons of coal and an inexhaustible sup-
-ly of oil and cas, that would provide
an unlimited amount of cheap fuel,"
he said.
'Tne big coal fields of New Mexico
and Arkansas are also within easy
reach whenever they may be needed.
Big munition slants, cotton mills wool-
en mills lumber mills and factories of
various kinds w;ll be established dur-
ifn" the nresent year anil there is no
reason why Oklahoma should not have
her share of tl.em if business men will
'o after these propositions in the
proper way. In spiU* of the fact thai
we raised X51 ,(HHJ bales of cotton thi>-
year there is not a single mill for man
ufactiring cotton cloth in the whoit
state of Oklahoma. Texas has sixteen
cotto i mills that it obtained tnrough
the concerted action of its business
men. Oklahoma can have just as many
if we i^t busy and do something.
"If your community wants industrial
enterprises of any kind the first thing
to be done is to send a representative
delegation of your commercial club,
bankers, and farmers, to this meeting;
at Tulsa that has been called for Jan-!
uary 15. If you have a good sugges-
tion for the advancement of this work
take it with you to the Tulsa meeting.
More industrial enterprises will mean
more and better markets for many of
our farm products and for this reason
farmers should also send delegates to
this meeting. Let us do all we can to
make this convention a representative
and successful affair."

ANOTHER HOLIDAY WEDDING
We have it that Frank OTannon, of
thi OTannon Co., and Miss Maurine
A lison, teacher of domestic science in
the local public schools, are married.
Further details will be given later.
They say as how Frank O'Bannon
ran for the school board and got de-
feated and then tried to wreak his
vengeance on the Board by stealing
one of the best teachers.
They are n >t married yet but it's a
~"od guess that they'll be married be-
fore th month wanes to an" appre-
ciable degroat Here's what] Frank
has to say about it:
SINGLE MEN WILL FILL WAR ARMIES
n I
Washington Jan. 8.— Any men for
the war armies still t be raised
by the United States will come from
Class 1 under the new selective serv-
ing plan. That means the nation's
fignting is to be done by young men
without families dependent upon their
lsbor for support and unskilled in nec
essar" industrial or agricultural work.
« lass One Sufficient
Provost Marshal General Crowder
announces the new policy in an ex-
haustive report upon the operation of
the selective draft law submitted to-
day by Secntary Baker and sent to
congress. He says Class 1 should pro-
vide men for all military- needs of the
countrv and to accomplish that object
he urged amendment for the draft law
so as to provide that all men who have
reached their twenty-first birthday
since June 6, 1917, shall be required
to register for classification. Also, in
the interest of fair distribution of the
military burden, he proposes that th<
quotas of states or districts be de-
termined hereafter on the basis of the
number of men in Class 1 and not up-
on population.
Available figures indicate, the repon
says, that there are one mrllion physic-
ally and otherwise qualified men under
the present registration who will be
found in Class 1 when all question I
naires have been returned and the;
classification period ends February 10.1
To this the extension of registration'
to men turning 21 since June 0 of I
last year and thereafter will add seven |
hundred thousand effective men a
year.
What It Comprises
Class 1 comnrises:
Single men without dependent rela-
tives, married men who have habitu-
ally failed to support their families,
who are dependent urton wives for
support or not usefully engaged and
whose families are sunxorted by in-
come.! independent of their Labor; un-
skilled farm laborers, unskilled indus-
trial laborers, registrants by or in re-
spect of whom no deferred classifica-
tion is claimed or made, registrants
who fail to submit questionnaires and
in respect of whom no deferred classi-
fication is claimed or made and all reg-
istrants not included in any other di-
LOCAL UGH ONE OF

vision of the schedule.
Narrowed down undur the analysis
of the first draft niac'.e in the report,
the plan places upon unattached s.n-
gle men and married men with inde-
pendent incomes most of the weight of
military duty for the aggregate num
ber of men in the other divisions of
Class 1 is very small.
General Crowder finds that the first
Iraft surpassed the highest expecta-
tions of the friends of the selective
service idea. He pays hig;h tribute,
not only to the thousands of civilians
who gave ungrudging service to mak-
ng the plan a success, but also to thi
high patriotism of the American peo
pie as a whole.
Respond Instantly
"At the president's call," he says,
''all ranks of the nation, reluctantly
entering the war, nevertheless in-
: tantly responded to the first call of
the nation with a vigorous and unsel-
fish co-operation that submerged all
individual interest in a single endea-
vor toward the consummation of the
national task. I take it that no great
national project was ever attempted
with so complete a reliar.ee upon the
voluntary co-operation of citizens for
its execution. Certainlv no such bur-
densome and sacrificial statute had
ever before been expected without a
treat hierarchy of officials.
"This law has been administered
by civilians whose official relations
lies only in necessary powers with
which they are vested by the presi-
dent's designation of them to perform
the duties that are laid upon then.
They have made some mistakes. The
system offers room for improvement
Rut the great thing they were vailed
upon to do, they have .Hone.
Analyzing the first draft. General
Crowder shows that 9,5Hi'>..">08 men
between the age of 21 and "1 regis-
'ered themselves. Up to late in De-
cember only 5,870 arrests had been
made of those who had sought, ti
evade registration and of that num-
ber, 2.2(53 were released after having
registered, and there remain only
2,095 cases to be prosecuted. The re-
port declares that in the final analy-
sis of the records it will be shown that
only .00020 per cent of the men within
draft age evaded registration.
A rough figure of 8.2 per cent is
; riven as the number of registrants
' who failed to appear when called by
their local boards for examination,
' but General Crowder hastens to ex-
1 ' 'ain that most of the men already
; are in Europe m the American, Brit-
' i: h and French armies. They did not
await the draft process in their ea-
Ige.ness to get into action.
< <f the total registration of 9,580,-
the number called and examined
[was 3,032,949, and of these l,C." 7,:i0i
were certified by the boards for mili-
tary service. Since the first call was
| for only (iS7, iiio men, there now re-
main 870)363 men awaiting summons
to the mobilization camps.
"The final data will undoubtedly
show,'' General Crowder adds, "that
the number of those who willfully
failed to appear for examination when
called is insignificant."
Of all men examined, 730,756, or
23.7 per cent, were rejected for phys-
ical reasons. That, it is pointed out
shows nn encouraging improvement
m the physical condition of the young
men of the nation since Crvil war
days, for at that time the draft au-
thorities rejected 32 per cent of all
men called on physical grounds.
One-Half ( laim Kxemption
About one-half of all men called
or 1,5<>0,570 claimed exemntion. The
< laims of 78 per cent of these were
;• ranted, showing, in the opinion of
officials, that very few fraudulent
:lainis were filed. Of those exempted,
74 per cent were released because of
dependent relatives, 20 per cent be-
cause they claimed alien birth and
nationality and only 0 -"er cent on vo-
cational grounds.
Less than 1 per cent of the exemp
tions were granted to religious objec-
tors or to those morally unfit. The
figures are 3,887 exempted because
of religious relief, their exemption ex-
lending only to release from partici-
l>ating in actual combat; and 2,001
rejected for moral unfitness. The
majority of the latter were convicts
now in prison.
Tht? total cost of the first draft, ex-
clusive of the cost of the provost
marshal general's office here, was
$5,211,905. This amount has been
refunded to the states bv the federal
government
It represents an average cost of
I $4.93 per man accepted for military
service and with the provost marshal
general's expenses included $."> per
i man against a cost of $24.48 per
voluntary recruit in 1914; $19.14 in
| 1915 and >28.95 in the first nine
months of 1917. Prior to the draft
act during the crvil war the cost per
man was about $34 and after the
draft was enforced about $9.84.
Discuss Draft Future
In discussing the future of the
draft. General Crowder takes oc-
casion to say that the first duty is tc
provide an adequate army. Economic
considerations must be regarded in
selecting the men, he says, but not
at the expense of an efficient fight
ing force. Viewed beside the efforts
' Germany and Austria have nut forth
to place man power in the field, he
adds, it little became us to emphasize
above a whisper as a substantial
national problem anything we have
yet been called upon to do."
Tables accompanying the report
-how many striking results of the
draft. Taking the total of 1 243,801
"liens registered, it is shown that of
(he 457,713 called up for examina
tion, 7(5,544 were certified for mili-
tary service, having voluntarily
waived their claims to exemption a*
aliens and in effect volunteer for the
battle of democracy. Fven of the
"81,168 exempted, 40 per cent went
out on other grounds than their alien
status. There was evident some vari-
ation of practice among the states on
the ouestion of exempting married
men. A total of 163,115 married men
have been certified for service. In
Mississippi the boards held .'fx per
MM ®f all married men Milled for
service: rn Wisconsin and North
Dakota only 8 per cent were held
After further study of the results it
is expected efforts will lie made to
unify the -actice of boards more
closely in this regard.
Montana led among the states in
the number of men called who filed
no claim for exemption. Figures for
that state show that 80 ner cent of
)*ien called u- were readv to go to
the front. Kentucky had the greatest
number of exemntion claims, 52 per
cent of all men called filing affida-
vits. The averatre number of claims
was 46 per cent.

ALLISON—O'BANNON
When you announce my marri-
age, start something like the
above. And put it on the front
page; and be sure that it is real
fact. Your yesterday's effort to
announce something which has not
taken place does me great honor,
as all will admit who know the
young lady; but it is embarrassing
to me to have political motives as-
signed, and more than embarrass-
ing to me to have so important an
event (when it does take place)
relegated to the boiler-plate page.
Along with the happiness which is
to be mine, I am determined to
have the greatest possible amount
of first-page advertising as your
contribution, so get ready to give
me the whole front page.
Yours blushingly,
FRANK O'BANNON.
Editor's Note: Frank, old boy,
the front page is herewith tender-
ed to you. Just see to it that we
get the correct dope and the box
car letters shall be displayed.
But Frank, in announcing a
wedding the Dallas News, of which
you ought to be a confirmed read-
er, as well as other more correct
publications, give the caption,
O'Bannon—Allison, instead of Al-
lison—O'Bannon, the gentleman's
name in this wrinkle of journal-
ism being us.d first, but in your
case, ,-ou not being so important
as the most estimable lady. ..a
will gladly use her name first when
the news story really "breaks" and
is released for oublicution by your
congenial self.
Also we submit to the calling
down with humility and humbleness
Especially do we regret the inex-
ciisable bonehead which permitted
the item being placed in the boiler-
plate section.

to
The Claremore High School was in-1
spected and fully approved by Prof.
A. C. Parsons, the high school in-
snector, December 14th. He stated at
the time of approval that it would be
considered one of the best in the
state. It is now offering, altho but a
new institution, thirty-four units of
work, with only sixteen required for
admission to the State University.
December twenty-eighth State Su-
perintendent R. H. Wilson approved
the normal training course in the high
. . hool, which gives a limited state
certificate to those taking the normal
training work in the high school.
A telegram received last week by
Superintendent Mary A. Davis from
the State Vocational Board announc-
il that the Claremore High School
had been approved by the Board of
which S. M. Barrett, former president
of E. U. P. S., is now secretary. This
means that this high schoel will par-
ticipate in the money appropriated
by the federal government toward
encouraging secondary schools to en-
large their courses along vocational
lines. The work in Domestic Sicence
and A"riculture will be aided by th*
federal government. Only a very
few shools in the state have as yet
U^n able to qualify. It is the inten-
tion to strengthen the vocational
work in the public school system, as
there is no question but that this is
the tendency of modern education.

WHY?
By Byron R. Newton
(In New York Ilerald-
The night .inds steal o'er the fields of France,
Where a million dead n. m lie,
And a million ghastly faces there
Are mutely asking, Why?
Why are heavens red with hate
From the cannon's angry flare''
Whv must the eyes of the pitying Christ
See myriads dying there?
Why from the Alps must sr.ow-fed streams
With brave men's blood run red?
Why are the bodies of innocent babes
Strewing the ocean's bel T
Wh'- are starvation and sorrow and pain
And terror in every clime?
Why are the souls of men cast down
With death at this Christmas time?
What's happened, O God, o your beautiful world,
Aflame witl. the furies of death?
What demon has banished sweet peace from the earth
And loosened hell's withering breath ?
Answer, O Teuton!—the secret is thine—
Give up thy creed of hell,
For on the final judgment day
God will make you tell.

To crucify and kill.

War Bread for United States
The IMSt of Uncle Sam's wheat sur-
plus was shipped ta Europe more than
a .uonth ago and it is far from bein<r
enough. More wheat is crucially
needed there. The only way to keep
our allies from starving is by making
a real sacrifice ourselves. The white
loaf bids fair to be as obsolete on our
tables as it is on those of Europe be-
fore the year is over.
In Finland three and a half million
neo-le are living on a war bread made
largely of ground birch bark ami
beech buds with a very small propor-
tion of wheat. Germany's war bread
is so bad that it is causing all sorts of
Intestinal troubles. Our bread, for-
tunately, will be nothing like that.
We have cora meal, which will be
our salvation. As a rule, Americans
est about a bushel aniece of corn meal
in a year. It's considered more of a
delicacy than a staple in most parts of
the country. This year the crop per-
mits us thirty bushels per |>erson.
That Is two and a half bushels a
month—end we cannot starve on that.
There is no need to fear pellagra
from a war bread of wheat mixed with
com It is the bud arrangement of
the diet which causes tfcit and other
digestive diseases. The addition to
the dietary of a reasonable amount of
meat and milk, together with the all-
in.portant green vegetables, will ob-
viate any danger from that source.
The great thing is to get one's mind
ad'usted to the change. That done,
the ri-sl is easy
All-wheat bread is not necessary for
us. Just one thing is necessary if we
are to preserve our lives and the life
of the nation. That one thing is the
winning of the war. Anything which
will contribute to that end is good for
us.
In the matter of war bread, the sen-
sible thing is to get used to it gradual-
ly'. We cannot change from wheat to
corn suddenly with success. But we
can begin at once to mix a small pro-
• ortion of corn meal with every loaf.
This proportion may be increased
gradually until it reaches half or two-
thirds vithout causing difficulty.

V. V. Hardcastle, deputy internal
revenue collector engaged in securing
returns of income tax in Rogers coun-
ty, will be at some point within the
county during the entire month of
.January.
It is his desire to see every person
in the county who, in the case of singU
persons having an income of $1,000
and in the case of married nersons
having an income of $2,000 and over
Altho it is not absolutely necessary
for such persons to see him and have
him make out their returns, the law
is so complicated that each person
coming within the provisions of the
income tax law, should see Mr. Hard-
castle nevertheless, because if they
fill out the returns themselves, mis-
takes are liable to occur which in some
cases result in severe penalties and
fines.
A large number of citizens have
availed themselves of the oi ^ortunrtv
of having him assist them in making
the returns, while Mr. Hardca tie has
been in Claremore for the past few
days, in this manner showing a pa-
triotic willingness upon the part of
most persons in this class to do theii
part and also, demonstrating the grat
ifying nrosperity of our people.
Many whose duty it was to have
een him have failed to do so. Ne*

ers that persons liable for reports
have not made them the government
is going to be very severe and arbi-
trary in imposing penalties.
After March 1st, all incomes not re-
ported will be investigated and tho.^e

will be punished. Therefore, to avoid
Inter trouble it would be far better ti,

Next Week

The Countv Agent and the County
Home Demonstration Apent have just
returned from an agents conference
which was held at Stillwater, Oklaho-
ma, and they return with the instruc-
tions to continue to urge the produc-
tion and conservation of food and feed
stuff to the limit. Just about one
• ear ago now the department of ag-
riculture started a big drive for the
increased production of food and feed,
and for the curing and nreservin" of
all food stuff produced.
The people of Rogers county re-
sponded splendidh' to the suggestions
of the department, and yet in spite of
the increase made, the food supply of
lhe nation and of the world is consid-
erably lower today than it was at this
time one ye:.r a"0, consequently the
•traduction and conservation of food
and feed continues to be the most im-
-ortant part that we can play in the
task that confronts the nation.
Through the office of the County
Home Demonstration Agent, the De-
partment of Agriculture and the state
colle-"> expects to take place before
the "eople of the county, many plans
for substitutes to take the niace of
food stuff that is short. Many ar-
ticles which we can use at home are
not suitable to semi abroad to our
armies and these things must be made
use of here at home.
Through the office of the County
Agent the Department will place be-
fore the farmers additional informa-
tion that should materially arsist in
increasing the yields of grams and oth-
er food products. For instance, it has
been found that smut takes a toll of
about ten per cent from the yields of
most of our grain crops. Smut can 1-e
eradicated and this loss checked. This
information, together with methods of
♦ reatin". will he laced befor the far-
mers immediately and the cost of tow*
ment is so small that it is not consid-
ered an item. Special Field Assistant
II. L. Gross, from the office at Wash-
ington, will be in the county with Mr.
Meloy on January l(i and 17 putting
on demonstrations along this line and
all grain farmers should arrange to
attend some of the meetings that will
be held and acquaint themselves with
(he methods to be followed. The fol-
lowing meetings have been arranged

KELP FLOCK OF HENS AND HELP
WIN WAR
to
Waahingti. . D. ('., Jan. 5.—In an
effort to produce the greatest possi-
ble volume of food from America's
poultry division of the food adminis-
tration, expects to start a campaign
among American farmers and poultry
men to sell no hens until after the lay-
ing season."
"In many sections of the country,"
Priebe says, "because of the high
poultry prices that normally come In
late winter, farmers sell their hens
ii.st before the beginning of the spring
laying season. In our present need
for increased foodstuffs, it would be a
Teat mistake for this to occur this
s ring. A good hen will contribute-
approximately hi r own weight in eggs
iinl still be worth as much for foo4
herself as before si. > began laying."
While the tendency of such a move
ment normally would be tu increase
harply the prices of poultry on the
•ity market, under the present condi-
tions it probably would result in little
more than decreasing the supply of
fresh fowls. 1 or chickens already
have reached apparently about the
peak of prices that the consumer will
