MARE THRIFT PERMANENT
Now that tbe Victory Loan cam-
paign has been successfully termi-
nated an dthe bulk of our war debt
is covered a great many of us will
be inclined to slip back into the old
time pre-war method of living today
and letting tomorrow take care of
ltseelf But before we so abandon
ourselves let us consider a few
things
It 1st rue that the expenses of the
war have been met but how are
we going to benefit ourselves by the
period o f prosperity that is bound to
ensue?
j practically no typhoid This again
was due to typhoid vaccine
It Is the intention of the State
Health 'Department to make an ex-
tensive campaign county by county
Tbe department will have the aid of
the County Health -Officers and the
County Physicians It is almost con-
fident it will have the sympathy and
support of practically all citizens in
each c ounty Where in dividuals
cannot afford to pay for the serum it
will be given free Where they pay
it is expected that they will have this
vaccine administered by County Phy
sician No such campaign as this
hart ever been started by any oth
state The State Commissioner of

ditions may attain the upward trend I ilealth has one and only one amlii

The signing of the war armistice
with Germany did not stop the war
between the people of the United
States and the deadly enemy at tome
Social diseases On the contrary
hostilities are continuing with an in-
creasing vigor with the U S Public
I Health Service marshaling the for-
ces of decency against- vice and Its
attendant evils — venereal diseases
The educational offensive exempts no
one from service The brains and in-
telligence and tact of local commu-
nities throughout Okla homa are
neededfor the enlightment of all
especially the ignorant the Illiter-
ate the tempted and the wordly
“wise’’ as to the seriousness and
dangers of communicable diseases
Social diseases with their hidden
submarine attacks on innocent wives
and children their slow deadly
wounds their instdous propaganda of
deceit preying on the ignorant with
lies about tbe sex necessity and with
the “no worse than bad cold” fraud
these diseases affect directly or in-
directly every citize n Good citb
zens frown upon these conditions
upon the evils
investments In this country totalled
9700000 0000 This capital was
used principally in developments
such as railroads oil and mining im-
provements but owing to the war
was withdrawn and never will be re-
placed as It is needed at home ’
This vast wealth was not the for-
tunes of a few individuals but rep-
resented the accumulated savings of
the middle class or working people
of Europe acquired by the practice
of thrift living
We Americans through the stem
necessities of war have learned the
virtue of thrift Will we now a-
bandon these teachings or shall we
continue as we have in the last two
years and thus derive another great
benefit from the war? '
The thrifty man of today will be
be the successful business man of
tomorrow So why not start a reg-
ular Bystem of saving now that later
on when opportunity knocks at your
door you will be ready with the nec-
essary cash to take advantage of it?

STATE-WIDE TYPHOID
CAMPAIGN CONDUCTED
Under direction of the State Com-
missioner of Health Oklahoma is
about to begin a campaign which is
probably the first of its kind ever
undertaken by any state — a cam-
paign to eliminate typhoid It is not
necessary to say how desirable such
a result will be We all know the
terrible toll typhoid has taken in
this state There is scarcely an in-
dividual who has not lost someone
near to him or her through Typhoid
Even where typhoid is not fatal
It is always a serious disease always
long enduring and hard to bear al-
ways leaving a weakening effect
which persists for a long time and all
too frequently leaves after results
which may persist through an entire
Iffe time
A few years ago there might have
been some discussion as to the value
of typhoid vaccine There always
has been discussion in regard to
every advance every step in human
WASHINGTON June 17 — Th
Fourth and Fifth divisions of the
regulars have been removed from the
lists of units scheduled for early re-
turn to the United States the war
department was advised today by
General Pershing
These two divisions we scheduled
to sail from France this month and
officials believed cancellation of the
sailing orders would have been only
under plans of the interallied high
Command and with the approval of
President Wilson

desiring to enlist in the air service
xx ill lie sent by airplane from Okla-

it as onginally authorized by the
War Department to send a plane
after each man vxho wrote in request
ing enlistment but it was found im-
possible in some cases to send a ship
to all towns throughout the district
Now a man may write to the Com-
manding Officer I’ost Field or to
the U S Army Recruiting Station
Oklahoma City stating that he de-
sires to fly to Post Field to enlist in

sent to him immediately giving him
full information how to go about it
Applicants will be furnished trans-
poitation from the nearest euxiliary
recruiting station to Oklahoma City
and from that place will be sent by
airplane to Post Field for enlistment
The first Sergeant at Oklahoma
City daily wires to Post Field
“Send up that airplane taxi I have
several men that want to joy ride

pated that an aero-omnibus will

started a progress that nothing can

Tlie voters in districts 15 16 18
and 13 held an election on June 16
1919 to vote on the proposition of
establishing a Union Graded School
There were fifty-two votes cast
forty-six in favor of the proposition
and six against it This shows a
goodly per ceit for the Union Graded
School which almost insures its suc-
cess The new school buidling will be
located on the site where the Patton
school hou-e now stands as that i"
the most suitable site and probable
center of th diMr1'- for a location
The building will be' constructed on
modern plans the durability of
which will be sufficient to maintain
its permanency Besides its use for
school purposes the new building
will be the community center and
will give room for the accomodation
of the people for dll community
meetings
The school wil be called Liberty
Center — a suitable name as it will
