Some two hundred persons from
Claremore journeyed to Tulsa Sunday
to bid "her hoys" of the Tulsa Aubu-
lance Corps good-bye. The boys were
bound for Mmeola, Long Island, and
from there they are soon to embark
for France.
When the special train of eight
Pullmans urew in at the depot at Tul-
sa several hours behind time, due to
wreck near Bristow which necessi-
tated a detour Irom *t. SHI via o.
Holdenville, there awaitod at the
Frisco depot at Tulsa at a few min-
utes after 8 p. in., some seven thou*-
and people to bid them first a hearty
welcome and then a brave but tearful
good-bye.
Most of the ambulance corps was
composed of Tulsa boys, but Clare-

a number of "her sons" in this branch

DR. L. C. PRESSON HEARS
THE CALL
Dr. L. C. Presson, of Collinsville,
who is a memlirr of the Rogers
county exemption board, is, and
has been for some time, hearing
the call to the colors. He is a
married man and well settled in
civilian life with a lucrative prac-
tice, but his heart is with the boys
in the trenches and it is his desire
to go to the front and there do his
"bit" in the hospitals and on the
field on the firing line.
Dr. Presson is a man that mixes
well with, and endears himself to,
men. He is a man that will make
a valuable addition to Uucle Sam's
eorps of physicians and surgeons
and he is turning a ready ear to
the call for men of the medical
profession that has been sounded
the length and breadth of the na-
tion. He would do his bit in this,
the nation's hour of need.
Monday, Dr. Presson was in Ok-
lahoma City, looking the proposi-
tion over of going into the Medi-
cal corps.

MANY WITNESS THE PARADE
Claremore has been besieged by so!
much hot air refinery talk in the last
few months that it is almost irnpos-,
sible to realize that at last some-
thing tangible in the refinery line
has been grasped. There now seems
litt'e question but that a refinery is
to be located here and that at a near
future date.

Ladies to Be Commended for the Way
in Which They Served the
Large Crowd.
The big barbecue honoring the 221
young men from this county to ans-
wer the draft call, was held at the
free fair grounds in this city Wednes-
day and attended by some four thou-
sand persons from every part o.'
Rogers county. The day was one
long to be remembered in the history
of the county and considering the
large crowd the barbecue went off in
excellent shape, not a single hitch
marring the pleasure of the occasion.
At 10 o'clock in the morning the
Boy Scouts assembled at the city
hall while the children of the city
schools assembled at the Hiawatha
school building. To the beat of the
drum all marched to the city park at
the fair grounds where a huge crowd
had assembled to attend the ceremon-
ies of the day and partake of ths
feast.
In the mornmg Rev. R. J. Pirkey,
newly called pastor of the local Bap-
tist church, delivered a short but
strong address. He made a favorable
impression on those who heard him
while members of the Rogers County
Sinking Association entertained with
two songs.
At noon the drafted boys, veterans,
preachers and newspaper editors
formed in line and marched to the
banquet board. Running east and
west almost the length of the city
park a big table, decorated in red,
white and blue, flowers and flags,
had been erected. From this the
draft boys were served by the Boy
Scouts and the ladies and misses of
the town.
Further west meat for the other
visitors was passed out. Many of
