section have not become acquain-
ted with the facts as they really
exist concerning the entrance of
this country into the war. It is
not an unpatriotic feeling that ex-
ists, but rather a lack of knowl
edge of the real motives of the
men at Washington concerning
the war measures. The matter of
securing good speakers, and plenty
of them, is being taken up with
the State Council of Defense, and
other sources, and it is announced
that a strong line of speakers will
be on hand. The festivities, the
music, the entertainment, will be
free to everybody, and Crescent
heartily invites every man, woman
and child within reach of our town
to come to Crescent on next Sat
urday and enjoy the treat we have
arranged for you. We want you
We want to impress upon your
mind the seriousness of the issues
that confront the people of the
United States today.
Every boy who was drafted will
be asked to register at some con-
venient. place in town, as soon as
they arrive. Headquarters will be
at the Commercial Club rooms
over Brown's store. As soon as
you arrive in Crescent, go there
and get your badges and identity
cards that will throw every door
in town open to you. A big pa-
rade of the drafted men is being
arranged for. All these features
will be explained to you when you
Crescent will entertain next
Saturday afternoon. The Guthrie
Fair boosters, with their excel-
lent band led by Ralph Davis,
former Crescent citizen, will be
here in force. Theri coming is to
advertise the Cimmarron Valley
Fair, your fair and our fair, which
is to be held at the county seat
Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday
and Friday of next week. Every
farmer in (his end of the county
ought to be in Crescent next Sat-
urday afternoon. You ought to
be here for several reasons. The
main one is to see what Crescent
j merchants have to offer you on
i that day, and to listen to what
these fellows from Guthrie have
One new feature of the fair just
arranged for is the annual style
show by the Guthrie merchants
which will be given in front of the
grand stand Tuesday and Thurs-
day evenings. Admissio n to the
grounds being free. These with
the Carnival company will be a
big drawing card.
On Friday, Sept. 21, there will
be two Ford races for a purse of
$150. Both will he ten mile
races, the first open to the world,
the second to Ford owners in
Logan county outside of Guthrie.
All of the stores of t he city will
close on Tuesday, Sept. 18th and
citizens generally will turn out to
drawal from our community a
time of as much cheer as possible.
Let's make them feel that we are
behind them in their endeavors
and show them that Crescent ap-
preciates, heartily, the sacrifices
they are making so as to be ready
when their government says
come.
Next Saturday is the day. The
merchants want to see you in
Crescent. The citizens of the
town want you to come in and go
home to dinner with them. The
Guthrie fair boosters will be here
with their band, of which Ralph
Davis is the leader, and they will
make the occasion lively. The
speakers will be men of big repu-
tation, and will tell you of the
things you ought to know. It
will go down in the history as the
biggest thing ever pulled off here.
Everybody is invited, but the
boys who are drafted are to be the
guests of honor. Every drafted
man is requested to go to the
commercial club rooms and get
his badge as soon as he gets to
town, so the special favors and
features of the entertainment can
be thrown open to him all around.
A crowd of ten thousand people
here next Saturday would not be
a bit surprising.
