CUPID AND
WAR TARE
TEACHERS
Shortage of Instructors is Result
of Onslaughts of Boches and
Wily Youngster; Schools
Are Starting.
There is a dearth of teachers in
Grady county and the county super-!
intendent Inw harl a hard time scar-)
ing up teachers to fill tho places.
Two reusons are given for this
shortage. Ono is war and the other
is Cupid. The records show that
19 men teachers have gone to war
and that 2S women teachers have
been married since the close of
school last spring. At this time
the superintendent is 10 teachrs
Bbort.
Many of the schools in the county
have started. This applies to both
town and rural institution. Ninne-
kahj is now teaching in the necond
week while Verden Tuttle and
other towns are scheduled to open
their term soon according to a
statement given out Xof.ay by M. II.
Sheppard superintendent. Mr. Shep-
pard will urge that all schools start
early and continue their terms two
months then adjourn that the pupils
may take to the cotton patch and
help harvest the fleecy staple.
"I am urging that each district
tako care of its own cotton" said Mr.
Shcppnrd. "This can bo done very
nicely and I believe the patrons
teachers and pupils will see it that
way. Tho teachers are taking the
lead in the movement and many of
them have promised to do all in
their power to organize their schools
and lead the processions to the cot-
ton fields. Tho people need the
money and the nation needs the
cotton. It must be saved and I feel
fully confident that the schools o
Grady county will do their purls in
savins the crop."
CHILD IS
RUN DOWN
BY AUTO
Charles Daniels the three year old
son of George Daniels 622 Choctaw
avenue was badly injured at ten
o'clock this morning when struck
by an automobile being driven by
J. E. Black. Tho accident occurred
on Choctaw avenue directly in front
of the Chickasha hospital. The
child's risht shoulder was masnca
by the weigni
of the car which
passed over the body but the extent
of the injuries could not be estimat-
ed this morning.
The Daniels children had been to
the store and while returning
Charles was being carried by his
sister who had become excited by
the- fire alarm that had just sounded.

Between three and four million
men to be used as workmen of all

and other- war work over the United
States must be recruited at once
according to O. L. Hudson inspector
for tho Federal State employment
service who was hero this morn-
ing to direct first active steps to-
word raising tho quota for this dis-
trict. Mechanics skilled laborers
and ordinary workmen are needed
now in dozens of construction camps

Charles E. Day examiner in
charge of the local employment serv-
ice office received a wire this morn-
ing from the state labor office stat-
ing that a shipment of workmen
gathered from every point in Okla-
homa would go out from Oklahoma
City' J ;riday and tho unit from this
district has been schedulc-d to leave
Thursday. At present three slu-
tlons for shipping men from this

yards on both coasts have been re-
cently opened and the problem of
organizing all the available man
power of tho United States to face

state. With men being called out
each month to make up a draft army
of several millions it will require
the combined efforts of every labor
and employment office in the land to
meet the increased need it U point-
ed out.
'Four Minute Men."
Organizations of "Four Minute
Men" are being perfected all over
the United States and according
to official bulletins 25000 of such
public speakers are now at work
trying to awake the people to sense
the situation as it is. A publicity
campaign that will cover every town
in the United States is on and will
be pushed as rapidly as possible
labor authorities state. These ora-
tors will work under the directions
of the division of the ' labor com-
mittee and are entrusted with ham-
mering the need of concerted action
for patriotic labor. j
Unlimited numbers of men quali-
fied and unskilled alike can be ;
used in federal service at once and
continuing through the fall and
winter. Navy yards located at Se-
attle Washington Aberdeen Spav
rows Point Maryland Pensacola
and in fact practically every ship-j
ping port of nny size in the United 1
States coasts are in need of men
and tho government will supply the
want. It ia not the intention of the
labor department to take railway
mechanics and skilled wormen nec-ess-ary
for domestic industry but
rather to take any competent help
that can be secured without damag-
( ins commerce or business. I
Enrollment cards that were filled
out and filed during the recent labor
reserve enrollment will be referred
to in supplying the main bulk of men
for government construction. Names
of local registrants arc on file at the
state labor office subject to call
into the reserve.
