The closing of the 47th annual con-
fiiWM Social Welfare workers at
New OHeaaa Wednesday April 21,
left • definite Pfirpoae in the hearts
and minds of the MTf delegates who
attended. A purpose to carry the Gee-
pie of fellowship and the Golden Rule
to the farthest corners of their res-
pective communities.
The key note of the meeting was
never lost sight of even in the some-
times necessarily techinal papers and
addresses. And the statistics, an al-
ways dry subject was teeming with
reproach for the loose and lax en-
force of our laws Regarding the" men
and women of the future who are now
the boy and girl in our own home or
in that of cur neighbor.
The key note was simple: "Think
together, Work together and Play to-
gether." It covers every phase of hu-
man interest but is being eternally
overlooked by all classes each in its
mad rush to a selfish end. The com-
mercially inclined wildly chasing the
almighty dollar, the class whom none
of us want to admit we belong to, but
all of us know is undermining the
very foundation of our mortal struc-
tone, and last bat by no means least,
the religious class which should rep-
resent the best of all phases of life,
but often only succeed in leaving the
"Holier than Thou" atmAephere in-
stead of a helpful one.
The average citizen is waking up to
the fact that he is his "brother's
keeper" and can' no longer live his
life unto (himself alone but must be
vitally interested in those around him,
mast do his mite in. time of peace to
make those around him feel that each
has a place in the grand scheme of
life and that a country is only as
strong as each unit in it, be that a
community or an individual.
A magnificent plan for a league of
nations lias been laid down by the
statesmen who recently gathered
around the peace table at Paris. But
the plan needs to be worked out
among the individual nations; and al-
ready great obstacles are being en-
countered. But unless the plan can be
worked out thue, it is no good; for
the new democracy will be evidenced
internationally only in so far as it is
in evidence in individual nations; and
it will not be evidenced nationally un-
til it is developed in the local com-
munity, which is after all the ultimate
unit of democracy.
To usher in the day of the new de-
mocracy; to make actual in the life
of every community the principles for
which the war was fought; to secure
liberty, equality and fraternity among
all citizens; to so apply the princi-
ples of human brotherhood in our re-
lationships each with the other that
this dear old United States will be a
better place in which to live—that is
the task that faces us today; and the
citizens of Greer county are asked to
give their cooperation and in fact
should accept it as their task—the
doing of this job.
It was definitely made plain in the
early meetings of the Conference that
the child and its needs are uppermost.
An all-embracing benediction was
therefore bestowed on all those aux-
iliary Agencies of education which
seek the development of charade?
through the -primary power of habit,
and suggestion, such as the Junior
Red Cross, Boy Scputs, cfampfire
Girls, .Girls Scouts, Boys Brigade and
kindred fraternities.
Time and the limited space I am al-
lowed in this week's paper compels me
to conclude "the summary of the con-
ference at this point, I hope however
1 have given you the great thought
and I earnestly ask your, cooperation
in helping to do what you want done
in the Social Welfare work according
to the standards of the American Red
Crosa.
tea to changed conditions?
The Government offers a bonus up-
on discharge, compensation for dis-
a bility, vocational training for men
unable to resume their former voca
tions, medical attention for discharged
men disabled in the service. Does the
men know of these provisions? How
many are eligible? Have they put in
their claims? Are they keeping up
their insurance? Are they employed?
Why not do your "bit" towards
finding them, they will thank you foi
the information, and the Home Ser-
vice office will certainly appreciate
your cooperation.
Moat of the guys we knew in France,
Are back in civil life,
Where the only reminder "that war is
hell,
Is a scrap now and then with the
wife;—
But we must t%ttl« on and on
And never dare to quit,
For a brand new fight is on our hands
And we must do our bit—
We're Totally Disabled.
o . ,
Up from the South the warm wind
comes,
With the news of another spring,
And the guys we knew in the A.E.F
Are out where the birdies sing;
The blood of our veins is just as red
As it was three yeprs ago,
And we still can yearn to the thrill of
a port,
Though it's all in vain, we know,—
We're Totally Disabled.
Most of the boys we soldiersed with
Can anawer the season's call:—
They'll be up in the stand or out on
_ the lot
When the umpire yells "Play Ball"!
We can only squirm in our plaster
casts,
Or shift our crutches a bit,
And memory must substitute
For the whang of thf three-base
hit—
We're Totally Disabled.
In the stirring warmth of the sports-
man's sun
The whole of the world's at paly,
And the gang we knew in the A.E.F.,
Is out in the van,*they;—
But we must do our playing, now
On the field of some sporting sheet.
And play a game that is new and
tough,
And never brook defeat—
You can't when you're disabled.
Eighty bucks the government says,
Is to be our montly pay;—
A million a month could never wake
up
For the unsated urge to play.
You guys that we knew in the A. E. F.
When the game gets hot, recall
That, tnentally, every one of us,
Is in there lamming the ball—
Though Totally Disabled.

A recent letter sent Red Cross
Workers by C. W. Jones, Director of
Civilian Relief for the Southwestern
Division of the Red Cross at St. Louis
says:
"Before devoting all our energies
to the great peace time work of the
Red Cross, we must finish the war
work for which we pledged ourselves.
There is probably no Red Cross chap-
ter in the Southwestern Division—
Missouri, Kansas, Texas, Oklahoma,
and Arkansas—1which literally has
lived up to the pledge made at the
beginning of the war. For thin reason
we are sturting a campaign to "fin-
ish the job". We hope in the next two
months to have such a systematic can-
vass made of every county, ctiy and
town that there wiH not be a single
soldier who has not been in contact
with the Red Cross Home Service
section.
What has become of the service
Won from Greer county? During the
war approximately 600 entered the
various branches of the service. The
Government took care of them during
this period and at home the Red Cross
assisted their families with informa-
tion and various types of service.
Now that the men ate home again,
how do they fare? Are they able to
readjust themselves and their famil-
TO THE VOTERS OF GREER CO.
Having been solicited by quite a
number of my friends throughout the
county,-to make the race for County
Treasurer, I have decided to do so.
May I ask you to give my claims a
consideration when you come to cast
your vote, on August 3rd. L believe
you will give me that investigation
and consideration justly due me, and
if in your judgment, you find me com-
petent, and in every respect worthy,
give me a sufficient vote to nominate.
Thave been a resident of Oklahoma
for twenty-seven years, coming from
Texas to Cleveland "Co., in 1893, from
there to Greer Co., in 1898 and filed
on a elaim, where I now live. I have
be&i a tax-payer in Greer county for
22 years, passed through all the trials
incident to the settlement and devel-.
opment of a new country.
While our progress at first, was
rather slow owing to meager facilities
I am Joday proud of our work. We
have one of tthe best, and most high-
ly developed counties in the state. We
stand at the top in schools. So, now
as I have passed the half-mile stone,
by two years (I am 52 years old) and
am going down toward tlje sunset of
life, I should like to serve the people
of our grand old country as your
Treasurer. If you see fit to elect , me
to this place, I shall endeavor to per-
form the duties of the office to the
satisfaction of all.
Yours hopefully,
H. E. WARLICK,
Brinkman, Okla., R. F. D. 1.
Martha line-up was as follows: Kidd,
left fiield. Warren 2nd b»se, Sampler,
center, Cunningham, 1st base, New-
comb, pitcher, Oean 3rd base, Dough-
ty, catcher, Mitchell short and Eti
wards right field. There were only
four errors made during the game,
three by Martha and one by Mangum.
The Mangum line-up for this game
was: \mbler, short, Flippin, 3rd, Cun-
ningham, pitcher, Armstrong center
field, Duffy, L. field, Bean right field;
Tobin played 2nd, base and caught
some innings, foffey, 1st base, and
Loomis played some at second.
The feature of the game worth
mentioning was the four long catch-
es by Aynstrong in center field, and
his good hitting. Loyd Flippin also
knocked out a three bagger. The
game v.ab played in one hour and 20
minutes. The* umpires were Cox and
Collier, and the Fans were mighty
well pleased with their decisions.
WE HAVE A GREAT HIGH
SCHOOL ORCHESTRA
The Mangum High School Orches-
tra won at Weatherford because of
their actual knowledge and ability.
They had no opposition, but that was
not because there were no other or-
chestras there, for there were others
there. But Mangum had no oposition
for the reason that the other orches-
tras could not meet the requirements
of the contest. ¥he selections required
of the orchestras were too difficult—
too technical for any of the orches-
tras except Mangum. All the require-
ments being met by our High School
they were given the cup.
The selections required were Rolf's
"Pictures In the Firelight" and The
Anvil Chorus by Verde. Those com-
posing the winning orchestra are Mil-
dred and Lena Wyman, Laverne Dod-
son, Gladys Teeter, Alice Geyer, Otto
Thrower, S. E. Echols, Houston John-
son, J. L. Guthrie, Jr., Francis Doolen
Marvin Hatley, Clarence Frost, Win-
ston Yeager, and Mary Hoyle Heatly.
Great many compliments were receiv-
ed by our orchestra on account of the
advancement they have made.
Miss Mildred Wyman, who repre-
sented the school in the violin contest
was second. The young people were
chaperoned by Mrs. Geyer, and were
accompanied by Mrs. Elmer V. Jessee.
The Orchestra members and other
contestants speak very highly of the
hospitable treatment accorded them
by the people of Weatherford and the
authorities of the South >v°estern Nor-
mal.
There is more demand for City prop-
erty at this time $han there has been
for the past several years. The past
week two of the most up-to-date
homes in the city changed hands. The
Dr. H. M. Ferguson home on North
Carolina Ave., was purchased by Miss
Willi e McKinney and the Central
Christian Church bought the Miss
McKinney property, for a parsonage.
These deals were made by Hearne &
Tittle. These two gentlemen .are tak-
ing hold of the Real Estate business
like old timers.
James Wilson of Foster, Oklahoma
is visiting his brother, A. R. Wilson.

three are the only living members of
