ANOTHER WORTHY CITIZEN
CALLED BY DEATH
The sad news of the death of Ixiuis
Green at his home southwest of Guy-
mon last Saturday afternoon passed
from one to another of the large crowd
that had gathered in town to do their
week-end marketing, and left a train
of sorrow in its wake. The inanv ex-
pressions of sympathy heard on every
side were from the heart, for Mr.
Green wan a man well thought of by
his fellow men and his family is held
in high esteem.
Louis Daniel Green was horn July
13, 1867, at Bartlesville, Mo. He united
with the Presbyterian church in 1881
and has ever since been a faithful mem-
ber of that denomination. He was not
only faithful to his church, but just as
faithful in believing that it whs his
duty as a Christian to do the will of
his Master at all times. He was mar-
ried to Miss Mattie Miller on July 5,
1891. Nine children came to bless
this happy union, at the time of M
Green's death, six remaining to com-
fort the heartbroken wife. The young-
est, Daniel, a lad nearly four, follower
the father within 24 hours, and was
buried at the same time Monday after-
noon.
Mr. Green had been in rather poor
health for the past six weeks. When
he was taken with influenza he seemed
to combat the disease reasonably wel!
until the entire family was down. 7h«?n
it was that Mr. Green thought himself
sufficiently well to arise from his bed
and minister unto those that nt the
time seemed worse than himself. That
seems to be the worst feature of the
present malady. An entire family
gets down and with little outside help
coming to their assistance, those who
feel the responsibility of the family
resting on their shoulders, get up be-
fore they are really able. The oldest
son, I.ee, is now in France. I^ouis,
Lucy, Juliet, and Cyrus, ranging in
ages from 17 to 9, are on the farm
with the mother. The deceased also
leaves four sisters, Mrs. Dan McGrady
of Elk City and Mrs. A. F. Church of
Clayton, being present at the funeral.
A niece, Mrs. John Cott and husband
of Amarillo, were also here. Mr.
Green has been a resident of Oklahoma
for about 26 years. We understand
the daughter Lucy, aged 11, is still very
sick. The funeral services for father
and son were held from the porch of
the residence at I o'clock on Monday
afternoon, Rev. Walker officiating, and
the interment was in the Guymon ceme-
tery.
Much has beep taken from the wife
and children, much from these sisters
and the large circle of friends; sweet
ties have been severed, but much is
left. The Christian's hope and fade-
less memories are still theirs.

Oklahoma City, Okla., Dec. 4 —That
the fighting men from Oklahoma fully
justified all expectations was the posi-
tive statement made by their Com-
mander, Brigadier General J. P. O'Neill
in a letter to Governor R. L. Williams.
General O'Neill, writing from head-
quarters of the 179th Brigade, A. E.
P., France, under date of October 29,
says:
"My dear Governor:
"I have just a moment to tell yon
that the men from your state, the 179th
Brigade, have gone into the real thing
and have not been found wanting. In
the last operation they ran into the
28th German Division. This division
is known as the "Kaiser's Favorite,"
and it is supposed to equal, if not
superior to, the best in the Guards.
We chased them from their position
and we took prisoners from each of the
three regiments that form the division.
After this I think you can depend on
them for anything.
'There is no news that I can tell you,
but it would take a great stretch of
imagination to say that everything is
quite. Kindest regards to all.
"Sincerely,
"J. P. O'NEILL."
A very pretty quiet wedding took
place Wednesday at one o'clock, when
Miss Marie Palmer and Fred Arm-
strong were united in marriage hv
Rev. Irons at his home. Miss Addie
Armstrong, sister of the groom, and
Emmet Phillips, cousin of the bride,
were the attendants. The only guests
were the immediate relatives of the
bride and groom. Miss Palmer is a
charming young lady, a niece of F. M.
Phillips and has been his bookkeeper
for the past few months. Mr. Arm-
strong is the son of J. H. Armstrong,
who recently moved here from ltange,
and is a model young man. The happy
couple left on No. 2 Wednesday for
Willard, Mo., the former home of the
bride and will visit relatives there, then
return to Guymon to make their home.
CITY BONDS FOR
LOCAL INVESTORS
Municipal League Endorse* Plan to
Keep Money at Home and Stir ln<
terest
Oklahoma City, Okla., Dec. 4.— That
the small investor in a city should be
given the first opportunity to invest
in bonds issued by that city and thai
outside agencies should be excluded
from participation for a period of su
months after placing such bonds on the
local market, is a measure whose ap-
proval will he asked of the the Okla-
homa State Council of Defense by the
municipal league. This, when pre-
sented by N. It. Graham of the Kx
change National Bank of Tulsa, met
with the instant approval of the league,
which has just held its convention in
Oklahoma City. Mr. Graham pointed
out that several millions of dollars an-
nually had been brought in from money
centers to finance municipal projects,
under the delusion that local money
could not be found for that purpose.
Oklahoma during the last eighteen
months has sent out $180,000,000 for
war purposes which, he declared, an-
swered the question. Investment at
home, he urged, would give the citisen
a keener interest in local government
affairs.
MRS. LON HOLLAND SUC-
CUMBS TO DREAD DISEASE
It is again our duty to chrnniclc the
sad death of a mother. Mrs. Lon Hol-
land passed away at her home north of
Guymon Tuesday afternoon. Decern
her 8, leaving beside her husband, six
children to mourn the passing of a
lovely and loving mother. Vuln is any
attempt to measure the loss of a
mother to her children; after all the
poets have sung and lovers dreamed,
outside of heaven there is no love like
mother-love. We believe the tender
care devoted to those nearest and dear-
est, went with her to the better land
in the possibilities of eternity, may be
needed hereafter.
Edna May Bacon was born in Van-
sandt county, Texas, September 13,
1882. She was married to Ix>n J. Hol-
land November 21,1901. Beside tic
husband the immediate family is ma.le
up of three girls, Gladys, Vida and
Bernice, and three boys, Homer, L. J
and Albert. Her mother, three sisters
and three brothers are also left ti
mourn the loss of a devoted daughter
and sister. The funeral was held hi
the cemetery yesterday afternoon, pre-
| sided over bv Rev. Walker.

"Flu" epidemic in full swing all local
councils of defense are directed to aid
in handling the situation. It should be
the duty of every local council official

down. The various councils should see
that such people get help, and this ap-
plies particularly to sending out inen
ami women who will go into the homes
and care for the sick. All councils are
