The School Agriculture Club Mem-
bership of Cherokee County, Or-
ganized by the County Farm Agent
The boys and girls oi this county
have shown quite an interest in the
Agriculture clubs that have been or-
ganized throughout the county. Two
hundred and thirty-twb members
have enrolled, which is the largest
membership that this county has
ever had, and is probably as large
as any county has in the state of the
same population.
The boys and girls are urged to
use pure seed for the crops they plant
or pure bred stock for the stock they
raise, and poultry.
This alone is doing much in im-
proving the grain and live stock of
this county.
These boys and girls are encour-
aging their fathers and neighbors in
improvement very much, and increas
Ing the value of the land.
These clubs meet occasionally un-
der their officers and each gives his
or her experience and discuss each
others work and ideas, and also of
fer suggestions that are often helpful
to all of them.

it is all over, they are trying to im-
press upon the minds of the numbers
and wives and sweethearts and all
citizens of the United States the fact
that the boys overseas now are left
behind because they have mistreated
themselves and have contracted a
disease not fit to be brought into the
homes of the true American. But,
believe me, as a soldier of the U. S.
army. I have been In France nine
!months and have seen several thous-

that the man that printed such trash
is either a pro German or has been
weak-minded enough to let some

know a case no later than yesterday.
A man of my division received a let-
ter from his wife saying that she
never wanted to see him again on
account of the talk that is flying
wild throughout the states. It is the
duly of every American to stop this

printed that paper never saw France.

A SOLDIERS LETTER.
Hospital Center, France, June 12
To the Cherokee County Democrat:
It seems as some of the news-
paper men of the U. S. are trying to
meddle with overseas business. Since
the war Is over they are writing long
articles for publication asking the
young men to jump in and fight for
The Little old red 2-cent stamp
came back 'from service this morning
ready once more to take up 'business
as usual." At midnight Monday
night the 3 cent stamp, which has
served on first-class mail matter
since October 3, 1 y 17. was retired
and the red stamp, interned for the
period of the war, came out again
to take up its duties of carrying let-
ters across the country, instead of
acting only within the cjty, as it has
done since the postage was raised
nearly two years ago.
And though the two-center is still
as red and as unassuming as ever, its
advent into the postal world aga'n
will mean a saving of millions of dol-
lars yearly td American letter writ
era. It is expected to make a de
crease of about 20 per cent in post-
office receipts.
All letters in the future will be
carried for 2 cents an ounce ar y

plans tire to be laid for the reception
of President Wilson, when lie visits
Oklahoma City on his "swing around
the circuit," probably during the
last week in July. Definite assurance
that Oklahoma City has been includ-
ed in the president's western itiner-
ary reached Governor J. B. A. Rob
ertson last Saturday in the form of a
message from Congressman McReo-
wen. who stated that Secretary Tit
multy had notified him that Okla-
homa City'is given a place on the
route sheet.
Tentative plans contemplate seour
ing a representative delegation from
every city in the state to attend the
reception and it is expected that the
coming of the president, almost di
rectly from the peace table will at
tract thousands from all parts of the
state and that many will come from
adjoining states that are not so for-
tunate as Oklahoma.
The president's visit to the city,
party leaders point out, will mark
the sounding of the keynote of the
campaign of 1920 and democrats will
welcome the opportunity to show
their strength as a reply to the stuta-
ments of Will H. Hays, republican
rational c* >l,-nian, that the (! 0. P
leaders ct jfidenty expect to find 0>

next year.
