VOL 27.
GUYMON, OKLAHOMA, THURSDAY, AUGUST 16, 1917
OFFICIAL COUNTY PAPER
NO. 24
MORE MEN CALLED
FOR EXAMINATION
Large Number of Exemption* in Pre- 1
vious Draft Makes It Necessary to
Call 270 More—Only 41 Out of
the 208 Eumined Passed Mutter
Another Call Probable.
The forty-one names of the men
passing the local examining board
last week will be found elsewhere in
this issue of the Herald. Owing to
the large number of failures the
board finds it necessary to issue a
call for 270 more men to appear for
examination beginning Monday, Au- i
gust 20. The examinations will con-
tinue three days as heretofore, and
by a perusal of the following list
it can be easily discerned what day
to appear before the board. County
Attorney Dale has been appointed
federal appeal agent, to whom all
appeals from the decision of the local
board should be directed. The board
has issued the following call:
Notice of Call to Appear for Physical
Examination
The following named persons are
hereby notified that, pursuant to the
act of Congress approved May 18,
1917, they are called for military
service of the United States by this

order number of each such is shown
below. They will report at the office
of this local board for physical ex-
amination on the 20th day of Au-
gust, 1917, at 8 o'clock a. m. Any
claim for exemption or discharge
must be made on forms which may
be procured, or the forms of which
may be copied at the office of the
local board, and must be filed at the
office of this local board in Guymon,
Oklahoma, on or before the 7th day
after the date of posting of this no-
tice. Your attention is called to the

Regulations, which may be consulted
at the office of the local board:

List Rapidly Changes
Every week brings changes of ad-
dresa for Texaa county's enlisted
boys. After their short stay at Ft.
Logan they are sent to the various
other camps throughout the United
States, scarcely any two being sent
to the same place, until we are send-
ing Heralds first one place and then
another. Samuel Albea has been
sent during the past week to Ft.
Clark, Brackettsville, Texas. He la
a member of the 7th Ambulance com-
pany. George Rockwell is at the
same fort but assigned to another
company.
In a recent letter from Morris L.
Wardell he informs us to send the
Herald to him at South San Antonio.
He is a member of the 52nd Provis-
ional Aero Squadron. In a most in-
teresting letter he says: "There are
about eight or ten thousand men here
in camp now and more coming each
day. Fifteen hundred came yester-
day. New barracks are being built
all the time. I don't know how many
men will be assembled here. There
are men being sent out often. Some
quadrons have left for France and
some go to base camps. The average
length of time spent here is about
three months, but I think our squad-
ron will be sent out sooner. The
Field is solely an aviation one. I
think there are three hundred air
planes here—only commissioned of-
ficers fly them and many of these are
needed. This place can't compare
with Ft. Logan. The days are
mighty hot, but the nights are cool
and pleasant."
He also enclosed some clippings
from the San Antonio Express de-
scribing the new Camp Kelly, its
site, the number of men working on
its construction, the cost of which
will be $4,500,000. We regret that
lack of space this week will necessi-
tate its omission in full. All eyes
are now centered on the Texas
county boys who are in the service
and a minute description of their
surroundings and every-day life In
camp is most interesting reading.
We solicit letters from all the boys.

the town of Guymon was thought of,
the O'Loughlin brothers, Charles
and John, came from Chicago and
purchased what is now conceded to
be the best large body of land in the
Panhandle. In the early days they
did their freighting from Channing,
a distanct of 96 miles. You can
imagine somewhat the task that was
before them when you stop to con-
sider the ranch was unimproved and
all the lumber for house, barns,
sheds, fencing and well materials
had to be hauled this distance—and
that was before the mammoth motor
truck of today had been dreamed of.

Who Said Rain?
Moisture has been such • rare
thing in this section the past season
that when big general rains fall such
as have been coming almost every
day the past week, they are worthy
of scare heads, double column ar-
ticles and everything else to attract
attention and show our appreciation.
Their very presence here have been
more welcome to our farmers at this
time than anything else. Their vslue
can never be estimated. Many crops
were suffering, but we have heard
Contract for construction of Guy-
mon's new high school building was
let yesterday to G. W. McBarney,
Okemah, Oklahoma, at |41,955. Tha
heating and plumbing contract waa
given the Oiler Heating Co. of Mc-
Alister at $6,485. The ground was
laid off and preparations made to
begin actual construction September
1st. The contract calls for comple-
tion of the building April 1, 1918.
The school board received yester-
day the resignation of Mrs. Chester

High and eighth grade work. Her
many Guymon friends will regret to

What will be most interesting
reading to the man who left Texas
county some year* aeo with the dec-
laration that it wouldn't grow white
beans, was related to the writer a
few days ago. The land surround-
ing Optima is no better than any
other part of this wonderful county.
The climatic conditions this particu-
lar year have been no more favor-
able, and yet J. D. Conwill informs
us that he has 200 acres of the best
row crop he has ever raised. He
settled here about a dozen years ago.
With the assistance of an excellent
helpmate and a few sons who have
been trained fo work, he has kept
everlastingly at it He had the mis-
fortune a few years ago to lose all
his improvements by fire, but that
did not discourage him. In this
dryest of all dry years he figured his
wheat would make him about 81
bushels to the acre, altho he has not
yet threshed. Last year he com-
pleted one of the prettiest, most ex-
pensive and most complete and mod-
ern farm homes to be found any-
where. We don't believe he could
have made this progress in any one
of the old states where land is so
j high. It goes to show what can be
done by staying right with the game
and having everlasting faith in the
JI country.
children are right in the midst of
their education. For this reason,
and this only, they have decided to
tear themselves away from their
beautiful ranch life for the short
period of four years and return to
Chicago. The oldest son, Charles,
will finish the coming year at De La
Salle and his father has reserved
five yections so if early training is
too strong at the end of that time he
can return. The three girls entered
St. Agatha's last season, one of the
finest Catholic schools for young la-
dies in the middle states, and will
finish there during their residence
in Chicago.
W. D. Hudson and Fred Snyder,
the latter until recently a well
known ranchman of these parts, and
both trained cattlemen of Pecos City,
Texas, this week signed a four-year
lease for 20,000 acres of this fine
ranch, and Will Hudson, son of W.
D., will be the resident manager.
This land all lies in Hansford county,
thirty-five miles southeast of Guy-
mon. Twelve hundred registered
Herefords were also bought by these
gentlemen from the 0*Loughlins.
This is the largest ranch deal made
around Guymon in some time. The
O'Loughlin brothers have worked
hard, earned an enviable reputation,
accumulated a fortune, and their
many friends trust they will live
many years to enjoy it
Heavy rains have fallen every night
since last Saturday. Vegetation has
taken on a new color and a new look.
We have had sufficient now to ma-
ture the growing crop and put the
land in the best condition for wheat
we have had in three years. May the
seasonable weather continue.
