EMPLOYEES TO FARM
THE RIGHT-OF-WAYS
Every railroad train in Oklahoma
may run through gardens of growing
vegetables this summer. '
U is planned te have the employeos
of the railroads utilise the vast areas
bounding the railroad tracks to in-
tease the food supply. Every tillable
foot in Oklahoma along these tracks
will be used to grow food that will
help to defeat the kaiser.
Last season several roads tried out
this plan on a small scale and found
that a great quantity of vegetables
and grains were grown. One company
furnished its employees with seed po-
tatoes, and 28,000 bushels were pr*>
duced. m„ I
AIL.
FLOUR CONSUMPTION
MUST BE REDUCED
It is highly important that the
rural schools be reached at once and
urged to respond to the nation-wide
campaign for junior enrollment be-
fore the spring terms close. Junior
Red Cross includes many things for
little hands. Besides planting beans,
peas,, corn and potatoes, raising pigs,
sheep, chickens and calves, canning
vegetables and fruit, testing seed or
doing anything that will contribute
to the conservation or production of
food. Can you not as parents hunt
up every bit of outing flannel and
let the children have a pair of sc's-
fiors at home and cut gun wipes for
the soldiers at the front. Cut these
one and a half inches square itnrt
string one hundred on a string. How
many Children in Tahlequah will
take'to Mrs. Adair at the work room
a hundred or two this week? Make
play out of it and learn at ti same
time the pleasure of service.
The knitting shipment for last
week consisted of thirty-two pair of
sox, twelve sweaters, five helmets,
two mufflers, and two pair of wrist-
lets. The women of Hulbert >re to
be congraulated upon the very ex-
cellent quality of their knitting.
Judging from the knitting which
thev have sent In. they must hive
knitted "before the war." They
sent In nine pairs of sox Monday.
The knitting from Woodall Auxil-
iary was excellent, too. It consisted
of six pairs of sox and one sweatee
last week.
Park Hill Branch has just been
supplies with yarn.
The shipment last week from the
hospital department was a box con-
taining sixty suits of pajamas, twen-
ty pairs of bed sox, seven ajioets.
five bed jackets and twelve napkins.
There were made in the work room
since last report, 168 hospital under-
shirts.
The United States Foci Administra-
tion has issued a statement calling
upon patriots to reduce their coa-
sumption ot wheat flour to six pounds
per person per month.
This urgent call is made because ot
the necessity of supplying our aol-
diers and our allies and to keep i*m*
wheat for home consumption until
harvest comes. Unless this advice Is
heeded a practical shortage ot all
wheat flour wil' .esult before harvest.
