ty of Water now to last us for a
Jong time if it doesn't rain any

Foot Million Dollars to the Farm-
ers of Oklahoma
The above sum is bMng annu-
ally loaned by the Aetna Life
Jnsurance Company to the farm-
ers of Oklahoma. This vast
amount is distributed by the
Gum Brothers Loan Company of
Oklahoma City at a low rate of
interest over the state.
In dealing with the Aetna
your papers are never assigned
hence you are not delayed in
paying off loan by having to
wait upon the action of some
private investor. Their business
methods are plain, simple and
very satisfactory to borrower.
Mr. A. S. J. Shaw has former-
ly been the local representative
of this companv but since giving
his attention to other lines of
work, M.L. Cowan has been
appointed the local representa-
tive of this company for Jack-
son county.
Mr. Cowan can write your pa-
pers at his office and give you
the quickest service and will ap-
preciate your business. 1234

(bier C. Churchwell Killed
W. H. Churchwell, living just
north of the city, received a tele-
gram Wednesday from the War
Department, which informed him
that his son, Omer C. Church-
well, was killed on the firing line
in France on October 27. He
gave his life in the cause of his
eountry, just a few days before
the armistice was signed.
Save your fruit seed pits and
nut shells and bring them to the
courthouse. They are valuable
in making munitions for the
army, and will help in the war
work. The Council of Defense
will appreciate whatever can be
done in this line.

Salvation Army. October 1.
Each of the seven overseas war ac-
tivities, known as the United Wa.'
V\ irk. iuu an appeal peculiarly Its
o\\ ii and that of the Salvation Ariny
ha? been formulated by the soldiers
'hemsehee for tbey have accepted
it us tUe ever prtweut representative
of heme and mother.
Its lassies have wielded over the
boys at the front a most p' .rerful
i-.iliueuce. physical and moral, with
•htslr douchniKs and coffoe. needles
and thread, fresh bandages, words
of cheer and above ail etee that
pure and elevating power given only
10 these who live aose to the Groat
Redeemer of the World.
The soldiers chose the Salvation
Army slogan of
"Doughnuts For Doughboys"
but they have put Into It a deeper
and more sincere meaning than the
words themselves imply for dough-
nuts and coffee bring to your boy
aud my boy a touch of the home
across the seas which they fully
realize they may never see again.
The work of the Salvation Army
is most intimate for it is the work
of "mother." It is carried on by a
field corps of which over seventy
five por cent are women who go in
to tii« trenches braving the spitting
tongues of machine guns and the
nursling of the murderous sheiis.
Wherever the troops move the Sal-
vation Army follows on. Its lass.es
cook, nurse, sing and entertain, anu
minister to those in need of spiritual
comfort.
There is no whim of the injured
they do not try to satisfy. They
take as their model the American
mother and that they have succeed-
ed in partially filling her place is
evidenced by the almost pathetic
love and admiration shown them by
the boys. x
"Tell dad, when you get back,
that they are the real thing over
here," was the message sent to T. R.
by his son, Lieut. Col. Archie Rmee-
velt. "Don't let bwn forget*'
The former president 1mm not for-
gotten, neither have thausaada of
American families that once scoffed
at the tambourines and street meet-
ings of the days gone by. In many
a household there is dm a deep
reverence for the orgaalzaiUon that
had the courage te send ita *
to the Sring Maes that they might
bring comBenta to the toy who is
fighting the rtrthlees hosts at aatoc-:
racy.
In the letters of tha he«e will bej
found the etery of the wwrseaa -work)
of the SalvaUaa Amy. It needs on
ly presentation to strike hame for
it has that sane deep appeal aa the
old song of the CM1 War.
"Just before the battle. Mother
I am thinking most of you.""
which for sixty years has brought
tears to the eyes and a tug at the
heartstrings of all who hear it

STARS AND STRIPES
"Well, we are all homeless oven
here and every American soldier will
take back with him a new respect'
for the Salvation Anny. Many will'
carry with them the memories of a
cheering word and friendly cruHer
received in one of the huts nearest
of all to the trenches. There thei
old slogan of 'soup and salvation'
has been changed to 'pies and piety.'
It might be 'doughnuts for dough
I boya.'
'These huts, pitched within stock
of the German guns are raihahackla
and bare and few. for no organiza-
tion can grow rich on penniea and
nickles tossed in tambourines at the
street corners of the world. But
they are doing a splendid work that
the soldiers 'bemssives will Barer
forget and it is a special pleasure
to say so here because the Salvation
Array, being much too simple and
old fashioned to kaow the uses of
advertisement, has never ashed us
to."

I Has Eatan Their Doughnuts.
Aud I know they are the realtMng..
I have shared with the boys the
doughnuts and chbcolate and coffee
that seemed to be so much hotter
than any other doughnuts or coffee
or chocolate I ever tasted before.
And when It seemed so wonderful to
mc after just a mild sort of experi-
ence down a shell swept road,
through the damp and cold of a
French winter day. w-hat must it bo
to those boys after trench raids or
redhot scraps down rain soaked
trcnchee or under the wet mists of
No Man's land?
How well I remember after the
"Ualtle of Shaiaprey," as our boys
culled it, following with one of them |
an exciting chase around dead man's {
curve down from the heights of |
Ueaomont, to draw up breathlessly |
in a shell torn village, to be wel-
comed by "de gang," as if it might
seem at home, with the wild jovfui
acclaim, "Come this way, Jud^e. the
old Salvation Army is sticking with
us like a brother—sinkers and choc-
olate, coffee and all."
Visited Them in Cellar.
And down around the broken
buildings, with shells whizzing over-
head, I was rushed by a group of
clieerv doughboys to meet Miss So
and So, and Miss So and So (thedr
names somewhere in my note book),
down an oid cellar, cleared of de-
bris.
Over the cheeriest fire I ever saw,
boiling In good American lard, were
the finest lot of fried cakes I ever
put in my mouth. In Amcrica two
of them—however good—would have
piK me cut of business—but two,
three, four, and five only served to
•whet my appelate, to the delight ol
one of the boys—who wels just a
good natured little rascal in my
court seven years before. And if all
this for a sedentary judge, what
must it have meant to those boys?
Do you wonder they love the Salva-
tion Army?
Listen to some of the stories they
tell me. "You see, Judge, the good
oid Salvation Army is the real thing.
They don't put on no airs. There
ain't no fluh-duh about 'em and you
don't see their mugs in the .fancy
magazines much. Why, you would
never see one of them in Paris
around the hotels. Good Lord, you'd
never kuoev they existed, Judge, un
less you came right up here as dose
to the front lines ae the colonel will
let you."
"Why, Judga," said an enthusiastic
urchin-yea. he seemed just ttfat, ao
boyish In his enthusiasm- "alter the
battle yesterday we couldn't get
those woman out of the village till
they'd seen every fellow had at laaal
a dozen fried cakes and all the cof
fee or chocolate he could pile in. We
just had to drag 'em out. for the
boys love 'em—we weren't goin\to
take no chances. Not much, for out
Salvation ladies."
Boye Help the Workers.
And there in the old cellars the
boys crowded around helping the
i assies with their work—one pre par
<ng a great half barrel like a tin tub
for the roasting fire, another sneak
ing out under shell Are bringing in
the wood, as he nevar did for Both-
er back home in all hie life, so Joy
fu! at the taak, eyes beaming with
anticipation, as the fried cakes
cratfeed and sizzled with tach new
panful piled into the boiling grease.
I felt like a kid myself. an4 na
more than those boye. can I aver
forget that cheery fireside beyond
shell torn Seicbeprey, down In that
old cellar as the sparks flew up, no
brighter than those boys' eyee aa
they seemed glued to the siaalina
pots, when not munching dongkagt*
and gtrtping dawn their hot ooffV
aa they never did before. O, it was
great
"And say. Judge," chirped a ruddy
faced, stomach Joyed kid. "thsae guy?
don't preach to us. neither. They
Just feed us up—that s what they
oo. And when you see w hat thos
