Thursday, September 6, 1917.
People are sometimes killed by
kindness—in books.
A Ldberty Loan Bond would make n
line birthday present.
The munitions profit taxes are pop-
ular with most of us because they hit
so few of us.
We always feel sorry for a ruaii
who has to act as a chaperon for a
poodle dog.
Lots of Cordell school children will
enjoy the fact that their teachers
will be graded this year.
Another reason we need a larger
square is that we've run out >>f
. places to park the Fords.
If we can't ha\^ paving around
our square, we ought to have the b^fii

Seldom hear that expression any
more about the "almighty dollar."
We've learned to think in a dozen
figures since the war began.
The economical "war menus" we
read about in the women's magazines
frequently sound like Sunday dinners
to us.
Why not make it impossible for a
beggar to solicit or a "fakir" to ped-
dle his wares on Cordell streets with-
out first presenting his case to pro-
per authorities for permission?
The plows that dig trenches In the
wheat fields back up the men who dig
trenches in the battlefields. And
both trenches will help to teach the
kaiser the lesson of national honor.
This is a bone dry state. But that'a
no sign you can't get drunk if your
yelf respect Is flexible enough to
let you fill up on so-called "tonics"
sold by drug stores.
Remind out-of-town visitors that
there's a cool resting place and a
good place to take lunch at our city
park. If they don't visit It, they may
tell someone else about it.
The man who confines his joy-rid-
ing to 15 miles an hour won't see as |
many miles an hour as the fellow I
with the 30 mile gait, but he'll see\
more to the mile, and see more miles
In the long run.
The drafting Into the German army
of cripples and hospital patients
, might not be in opposition to the
kaiser's idea of kultur, but It should,
be a difficult fact to get around in
the partnership dealings of "me und
gott."
Probably less mall-order merchan- j
dise Is shipped into Cordell and sur
rounding territory than In any other
portion of this state. Cordell mer i
chants are making their values and1
guarantees too good for outclde com-
petition.
It was considered advisable by the
people of Chickasha to cant'"! the,
speaking date of Senator Gore.. It
would be a shame to break Into the
senator's fun. which be claims to be
having over the telegrams that are
burning up the wires from all over!

Some towns are giving old shoes

Can't we take up some "hobby" in

A i ard from w. A. iBIIIi Dutan'

plenty material from which to pica

selves to be mentioned'
Cordell'. schools are her greatest
asset. No short-sighted pollcle* by
bMr cIMsens should bo allowed to

The farmer is one who wins by war
conditions. He is asked to do as
great a share as anyone; yet he faces
no such taxes as do ammunition mak-
ers. The more he can do for his
country, the more he will be paid.
One of Frederick's regular adver-
tisers is the Chamber of Commerce.
Advertising a town has the same ef-
fect as advertising a private enter-
prise. Cordell merchants believe in
advertising for their business. Why
not our town?

The Red Cross not only deserves
support; it inherits a right to your
appreciation and what help .you can
give. Have you given your dollar?
There are many in this county who
are devoting every bit of their spare
time to work for the soldier boys.
Are you doing half as much?
A charter has been granted in this
state to the "Anti-Tobacco League of
America," which has for its purpose
the ultimate extermination of the to-
bacco habit, and the tobacco Indus-
try. When Oklahoma gets "bone-
dry" on the tobacco question, we've
got a lot of substitutes in mind, saved
from the days when we. learned to
smoke buggy whips.
Six out of every hundred boys who
sail for France will not come back;
but those who come back will have in
their character a firmness und a pow-
er of endurance that might never
have come to them otherwise. After
such an experience, hardened as we
who are far from the trenches can-
not comprehend, the ordinary trials
of civil life must seem insignificant to
them. In the great business of the
reconstruction theirs will be the
leadership and the honor— Every
Week.

If you were registered for the
draft, examined and then give.i ex-
emption. you want to remember that
some one weat to take your place in
the trenches or wherever duty may
call; and you want to show your ap-
preciation to that man. Liberty
| bonds is one way—he must have
something to fight with and must re-
ceive his pay. And then you might
send him a post card, a magazine or
a few cigars. All these things he
will appreciate.
It has been persistently rumored
of late that Editor Mitchell, of the
Clinton Chronicle, would be a candi-
date for governor. We're for him.
Every newspaper on the west aid.-
should and no doubt will be for him.
He's clean. The muckrakers will
(have no chance. .Six years a member
of the state senate, he gained an en-
viable reputation, and he's favorably
known wherever he's known at all
A latp war prophecy which was evi-
dently made by some one well read
v .t conditions, and which stated
no dependency could be placed in any
time set for the war to end, but that
it might be suddenly ended by some
great diplomatic move, has now lost
that theory. For the answer of
President Wilson to the Pope's peace
note gives little room to believe a
diplomatic move could end the strug- j
gle. Our allies, it Is believed, ar - j
strongly with the sentiment express I
ed by the President. That ruins Ger- ]
many * hope of a diplomatic settl*- |
ment and makes sure of a hard win- j
ter on the kaiser.

It looks good to see some of our
streets acquiring a little more form,
with a bit of drainage. It will be a
greater relief when the down-town
streets are fixed so that they aren't
full of mud holes and chug holes with
every quarter-inch rain we get. Let's
do the thing up right; our streets
haven't been what they ought to have
been.
Remember, the dollars you've earn-
ed are really government dollars to
start on; the prosperity you've found
has come through the help of Uncle
Sam. And Cncle Sam has branded
every dollar. The picture of the bird
on a dollar is not an ostrich. It is
the great American eagle; and it
means that that dollar is a fighting,
helping, patriotic, enthusiastic Uncle
Sam dollar. Let it do it's bit in the
next Liberty Loan; or if you won't
do that, for goodness sake don't go
and hide it out of circulation.

It is a noticeable fact that the Far-
mers Union said much less about the
exemption of farm labor as a class
from military service when their rep-
resentatives reached Washington
thun they did in their Oklahoma con-
vention. And as for their demand of
us today with a reading of the his-
tory of the days of our forefathers.
This war is much the same as the
War of the Revolution. Its purposes
are much similar. Possibly the an
swer to our lack of-enthusiastic pre-
paredness for a state of long, wearv
war is partially due to the matter-of-
fact business way In which Uncle
Sam intends to convey a message of
humanity and freedom to the kaiser
of Germany.
IMPORTANT WORK
There are five commercial clubs in
this part of the state which merit
special attention through their work.
At Elk City the commercial club has
been busy keeping an accurate rec-
ord of the crop conditions of Beckham
county, and preparing to properly
handle the crops. Through this or-
ganization, the school board of that
town was last week Instructed to pre-
pare for an election to vote money
tor a new high school building. Effi-
cient co-operation is maintained with
the farmers of that vicinity. Clinton's
organization has been busy with good
roads, city improvements, extension
of trade territory aud similar work.
At Hobart remarkably good work has

E. F. Gibson Located at Leona by
Sheriff C. R. Lee—Mrs. Gibson
Discharged from Prison
E F. Gibson who mysteriously dis-
appeared from his home four miles
north of RooseveH on the night of
August 21, and whose wife, Mrs. Min-
nie Gibson, was arrested upon an in
formation charging her with his mur-
der and held in the county jail pend-
ing an investigation, has been found
at Leori'a, Kansas.
C. R. Lee, sheriff of this county,
left here last Saturday for Seneca,
Kansas, to arrest Clyde Miller, a
brother of Mrs. Gibson, who was ac-
cused of being an accomplice In the
alleged murder. Upon reaching Sen
eca Mr. Lee was informed that a 1> t
ter had been, received from the mis-
sing man.
The sheriff immediately wired his
deputy, Ira Hartzog, to discharge Mrs.
Gibson from custody and permit her
to return to her home. The officer did

noticed has been general criticism of
their president, John Simpson, of
Weatherford, and the admission by
many members of their errors at the
convention. Resolutions have little
effect on Uncle Sam at the present
time.

partment has begun to fight tire in

fires and cut down fire losses. And

held and other very important work

This clears up what was generally
supposed jo be a murder. Still the
reason for Mr. Gibson's disappear-
ance is shadowed in mystery.
The telegram Mr. Lee dispatched
was briof and did not state whether
or not Mr. Gibson will return with
him to this county.

ced as to why Gibson chose the
method he did for getting out of the
