D RAFTED NEGRO£S-
- IN SEPARATE UNITS
Washingtoo—Negro troops of the
national army will be organized in
separate units as is done in the reg-
ular army and so far as possible will
be trained in thfstates where they
are raised The call for negroes to
mobilize at their camps will be post-
poned to allow the officers at the
camp to arrange for the organization
cf these separate units
Both white men and negroes of the
selective forces will be given an op-
portunity for service in the bat-
(allions of troops to be used on the
line of 'communication their work
being military but not combatants
However there will be negro fight-
ing regiments of the national army
as thereire of the regulars and na-
tional guard '
‘ Secretary Baker outlined this pol-
icy of the war department today in a
statement dealing with the method
to be followed 'inthe organization
and training of negroes liable to
draft under the national army act
Presumably the negro' regiments of
the regular army and the—national
guard will be retained as they are as
fighting Units'” '-

Which Has Boon Sot at (ISAM
A great many Okfuskee county
citizens have heard Stanley Clark de-
liver socialist speeches in different
parts of the county They have heard
him slander - and criticize every de-
cent state and national official— you
now hear of him under arrest with
a charge of trtason hanging over hit
head The Wichita Falls Times con
tains the following: - -
(’ “Stanley J Clark socialist orator
waived a v hearing before- United
States Commissioner Lantz on a
charge of inciting rebellion late Wed-
nesday afternoon and was 7 bound
over to the federal grand jury here
and his bond set at $15000 Clark
was placed in the Wichita county
jail until his bond is made He sent
messages to a number jf his friends
in Texas and Oklahoma today and it
is believed that he will be able to
make bond 7 ‘ '
fit is charged that Clark ’did un-
lawfully wilfully and knowingly in-
cite rebellion against the authority
of the United States to-Wit an act
cf Congress approved May 18 1917
and that the said Stanley J Gark
did then and there the United States
being at war with Germany unlaw-
fully wilfully and in violation of the
act of Congress' approved June 15

tion disloyalty and refusal of duty

vided and against the peace and dig-
nity of the United States of Amer-
ica’” Claris was arrested following a
speech he -made at the Enterprise
schoolhouse near Electra In this
speech he said the time was here for
the socialists to rise against the gov-
ernment He did not openly coun-
sel resistance of the draft but his
language was such as would incite
the more radical of his hearers to do
this
Statements have been secured from
a number of persons who heard
Clark’s speeches at Electra and are
yet to be heard 7
Clark told in some detail in his
speeches the witness said of his ac-'
tivities at Bisbee Arizona He pro-
claimed that he was an I W W He

HERE'S TIP TO MR HOOVER
Why Not Draft Oklahoma Rabbits F01
Nation’s Meat Suppfy7
' The humble rabbit Is threatened
with being drafted into the food con-
servation campaign Oklahoma baa
piore rabbits both cottontails and
jackrabbits than the state has any
possible use for and the crop and or-
chard damage ftom these pests prob-
ably runs Into hundreds of thousands
9f dollars each year
There is no particular aversion to
the eating of rabbits except In the
pprlng and summer months OTd rab-
bits particularly Jackrabbits' are sub-
ject In these seasons to “warbles
and other diseases or parasites thaf
are unpleasant to think of Even in
the summer months young rabbits rl
yal chicken as a delicacy
Mrs Laura M McClain woman
agent - for “Harper County Okla
writes as follows concerning these
farm and orchard pests:
“The rabbits are doing a great deal
of damage to crops here In fact
thousands of dollars worth of crops
are destroyed each year by them 1
am told In the canning of meats w
hope to Include the canning of the
rabbit asr this will not only prevent
the damage to crops in the future bul
will mean a nice sum of money for tbe
families of tbe -county should tbe
wish to sell them instead of using
them Many people are using the
nice young rabbits right along and
others are prejudiced against them !
think because they are so common’
So far Mr Hoover hasn’t bad mucl
to say about the rabbit but a jackrab
bit will weight nearly as much as t
capon and Is said to make- excellent
sausage when mixed with a little pork
Oklahoma Kansas and Texas could
supply enough of this meat to suppl
an army and once tbe butcher shop:
and packing plantt recognize tbe- rab
bit as a legitimate branch of tbelr in
dustry we will have more meat and
fewer mutilated fruit trees

FARM CLUBS TO BUY SEEB
Quality Seed and 8oil Prfeparatiol
Help Beat the Drouth
Better seedbed preparation and bet
ter seedwheat Is one tangible result
seen from the droutb of tbe past yeal
In some of tbe wheat growing coun
ties In western Oklahoma
Many communities in the drouth
stricken section have solved tbe seed
heat problem by buying co-operative
ly Tbe banks usually show little he
itancy In financing these association
when properly organized
J F Newsom county agent M
Beaver County helped organize a
community association at Gray Th
banks readily co-operated with th
farmers and in order to insure a
plentiful supply of good seed a com
mittee was sent Into the best wheal
sections of Kansas to buy seedwheat
A sum of $11000 In cash was raised
for this purpose '
The record In many counties fu
nished a strong recommendation tot
early plowing and thorough prepara
tion of seedbed One county agent
saya that son fields In his county
where the ground was properly pre
pared made as high as twenty-flva
bushels to the acre while many fields
poorly prepared did not make enough
to pay ’for harvesting and threshing
In practically all instances where
seedwheat Is being shipped in efforts
are being made to get o'nly seed ot
high quality
SELECT UNIFORM FEEDERS
Steers For The Feedlot Should Match
Up In Every Way
Uniformity Is- highly desirable fit
cattle for ’ tbe feedlot according to
W L-Blizzard assistant professor ot
animal husbandry at Oklahoma A ft
M College at Stillwater
- "Feeding cattle should be uniform
in age weight color type form con-
dition breeding and quality for best
results" saya Mr BHszard “Siac
there is a difference 'In tbe way old
steers and young steers will fatten it
is not likely that a carload of steers
et mixed ages would be ready fer mar
ket at Us same time - -
“It eeme of the steers tre fat whllo
ethars art about half way finished
tho shipment will hardly command g
high pries The steers should ho uni-
form ’ In fieah and weight' to attract
the buyer' Butchers and packsrs de-
sire cattle uniform in weight so that
the cuts ot meat will run uniformly
It Is well to observe these facts in
assembling a buneb ot steers for the
feedlot Tho feeder will fake more
gride lu a uniform bunch of atooro-
tbau In a mixed lot” - -
