American justice, American independ-

A community that lets the educa-

country that would send all its inen

THE PURPOSE
OF THE WAR.
"The purpose of the war is to dis-
courage aggression by such a defeat
of the German autocracy that no na-
tion will again undertake a war for
self-aggrandizement. This purpose
requires that the war shall be vigor-
ously prosecuted until it can be ter-
minated in such a way that PEACE
WILL BE PERMANENT."— League
to Enforce Peace.
VALUABLE V. S.
BULLETINS.
The U. S. department of agricul-
ture bulletins listed below are of spe-
cial value to people of this state now:
No. 847, Potato Storage and Storage
Houses; No. 753, Commercial Hand-
ling, Grading and Marketing of Po-
tatoes; No. t>5<i, The Community Egg
Circle; No. 852, Management of Com-
mon Storage Houses for Apples; and
No. 302, Apple Market Investigations.
Circular No. 75, Food Needs for 1918,
is of especial interest now.

"THE ROLL
OF HONOR."
The term "Roll of Honor" is at-
tainting a new signrficance. Churches
lodges, fraternities, clubs,organiza-
tions of all kinds, everywhere, are
starting these "Rolls of Honor." They
are made up of members who have
either volunteered or have been se-
lected in the draft to battle for their
country.
The practice should be followed
throughout Oklahoma. Not only
should the names be announced in
meetings but they-should be made a
part of the permanent records of
every organization in the state. This
is due the boys who go.
In later years there will be other
rolls of honor, made up of the organ-
izations that furnished the largest
number of their members for this
greatest war of all history.

PABMER
PATRIOTISM.
The shortage in field seed next
spring may be as acute as in garden
varieties. Certain it is that the de-
mand for sorghums, sudan grass,cow-
peas, melons, peanuts, millet, etc.,
will be greater than ever before. This
will be the case especially where the
acreage of wheat is increased.
It is especially important at this
time that every farmer attempt not
only to save all of his own seed, but
that he make a special effort to save
the best. Nor should any man stop
with just the amount he is certain to
need for his own use. Safety de-
mands the saving of twice this
amount for himself, and there will be
both patriotism and profit in putting
away a little extra for the neighbors
The shortage of seed when late
rains came this year resulted m heavy
loss.

THE SECOND
LIBERTY LOAN.
"Are you saving your money to in-
vest in the second issue of the Liber-
ty Loan?" It's coming, October 1,
according to an announcement from
the office of the secretary of the
treasury. Experience has proved
that a man or woman becomes a bet-
ter citizen on becoming the owner of
a Liberty Bond. For that reason an
effort is to be made to get everj per-
son who can possibly do so to make
his "vote of confidence" in the gov-
ernment and the boys who go.
Experience of other nations also
proves that those communities which
take the largest investment in the se-
curities of their country in the long
run become the prosperous communi-
ties of the nation. The purchase of
government bonds stimulates econo-
my and thrift. The man who is re-
sponsible for his country's taking a
large share of bonds is doing a serv- ...
ice both to his nation and to his fel- R,cha^ Moore- Collinsville.

FAREWELL GREETING
Today nc greet out brave defender*,
• ailed to arms by I'ncle Sam;
What they may do to the Kaiser,
We don't really care a d n.
For our hearts are torn with anguish,
A.s we bid our boys Cod Speed;
Who bare their breasts to German bullets,
In their quest for Power and Greed.
Sure this is a sad sad meeting.
From our loved ones we must part;
Though entwined with sacred memories.
Ever linger 'round our hearts.
• 4
For we know that in the Battle,
Many brave men there will fall;
Torn by shot and shell and sickness,
Who are answering now tho call.
Good-Bye, boys, may God be with you.
As you enter in the fight;
For we have His precious promise,
He will ever shield the right.

SAMMIES
(Song of Our Men in France.)
We're just a bunch of Sammies,
From country, town and mine.
We've crossed wide, flowing rivers,
So do not fear the Rhine.
We'll cull the German kultur
To the tune of Dixie Doodle,
From Belgium and from I ranee.
We'll make the Crown Printz dance.
Chorus:
We're Sammies, Sammies, Sammies,
Come from the western hore,
To fight and win your battles,
And many millions more
Are marching, marching, marching,
From inland to the sea,
To do their bit for freedom
And make the whole world free.
We're going to can the kaiser
Before this war is through,
And take him back to Coney
And put him in a zoo;
And any other nabob.
Who thinks he's the whole thing,
We'll cop, and, like a string,
We'll lead him by the string.
Chorus:
Yes, we are Sammies, Sammies,
The vons we've come to trim;
The Turks and Austrian nobles
Will feel our power and vim.
We'll make the Huns go hungry,
Our throwing arms they'll feel,
And while our airmen chase them
Our boats will cork the Kiel.

"God Keep and Guide You' - - - Wilson
In a farewell address to the draft boys of Washington, D. C.,
Tuesday President Woodrow Wi'.srn said:
"To the soldiers of the national army: Ydn are undertaking it
great duty. The heart of the whole country i* with you. Every-
thing that you do will be be watched with the deepest interest and
with the deepest solicitude not only by those who are near and dear to
you, but by the whole nation besides, l or this great war draws us
all together, makes us all comrades and brothers as all true Ameri-
cans felt themselves to be when w,- made first good our national in-
dependence. The eyes of the world will be upon you because you are
in some special sense the soldiers of freedom. Let it be your pride,
to show all men everywhere not only what good soldiers you are, but
also what good men you are, keeping yourselves fit and straight in
everything and keeping yourselves rlean and pure throughout. Let
us set our standard so high that it will be a irlory to live up to it
and then let us live up to it and adii a new laurel to the crown of
America. My affectionate confidence goes with you in every battle
and every test. God keep and guitio you.
