At the present high price of galo-
line 12 to 16 miles to the gallon is
not enough. There is a recently
patented device known as the
"BlJRKE" which conducts steam and
vapor from radiator through C-tr
buretor into the engine and which
will positively double the average
mileage, and in many instances gives
40 miles to the gallon. The steam"
taken Into the engine prevents car-
bon, cools engine, and Increases
power. At the present only Ford
models are manufactured, and wo
believe those who buy gasoline should
look Into the matter. H. Earl Hardy
recently installed one on his Ford

that he ordered twenty-five to be

WOMEN'S OVERSEA
HOSPITAL, 0. S. A.
NOW IN FRANCE
Supported by the Suffragists ol with the Lutheran committee
OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla., June 6.
—Political candidates for office In
the coming campaign will refrain
frou holding daylight meetings# dur-
ing the summer if they arc to act In
accord with the wishes of the Okla-
; homa State Council of Defense. That
body at its monthly meeting, on mo,
ition of Major E. M. Kerr, passed a
' resolution expressing its disapproval
of political daylight meetings while
efforts are being made by the county
councils to draft men for farm ser-
vice.
, The question of the price of wheat
as affected by the increased freight
rates was discussed. It was pointed
out by C. H. Hyde that congress had
fixed the price of wheat but that Di-
rector General McAdoo had subse-
quently raised the price of freight
rates twenty-five per cent, making
a difference of approximately six
cents a bushel in the cost of getting
the wheat to Chicago where It com-
mands a price of $2.20, thus prac-
tically reducing the price of the
cereal. On motion oi Mr. Hyde the
state council resolved to ask Presi-
dent Wilson to recomme.-.d an lif-
rrease in the price of wheat in an
amount equal to the increase in
freight rates.
The efforts of the pastors of the
Lutheran church to launch a cam-
paign of education among the ger-
mans on the issues of the war and
the adoption of the English language
and to promote even a more acute
spirit of patriotism, this campaign to
be based on data furnished by the
United States government, were com-
mended by the State Council which
appointed a committee consisting of
J. M. Awdelotte. Chester H. West-
fall and J. R. Boardman to consult
