The county council of defense
had a number of parties before
their meettng last Thursday to
ennsider the question as to
whether they were slackers. No
real slackers were found, but a
number had not subscribed as
liberal to the Red Cross and Lib-
erty bond as their financial con-
dition justified and they were
asked to “kick in" a little more.
All did as asked and there is not
much doubt that they will do the
right thing in the future.
Our new serial, "North of Fifty-
Three" starts in this issue. This
story is a dandy and will be in-
teresting and exciting from start
to finish. It will be well to see
that your subscription is paid up
so you will not miss an install-
ment. We bad some difficulty in
The Tribune-Progress enters
into its twentieth year with this
week's issue. It would hardly
be appropriate for the present
editor to elaborate on how good
a paper the Tribune-Progress
is—yet after a little over seven at
the helm we are in a position to
know that its sucscription list
has increased magnificently and
we challenge any paper published
in a town as large, and, we’ll even
include many county-seat towns,
to show a better list of bonafide
paid up subscribers. Our one
effort has been to give our read-
ers the news and our advertisers
more than their money’s worth.

a pro-German and don't seem to
be inclined to tell what he has
done in Liberty bond or Red
Cross contributions.
The republicans of Kiowa
County are called to attend a
county convention at Hobart to-
morrow. It appears that can-
didates are scarce, but there is
going to be a lot of fun when the
state convention is held, which is
May 15. At this latter meeting
the present state chairman
Arthur Geissler, is going to get
his office and tobacco taken away
from him and a package handed

Team-Play in Time-Saving
Never before has the requirement been so insistent for ac-
curacy in telephone service.
In days like these, when things are done in a huge rush,
there is a tendency on the part of telephone users to attempt
to hurry their calls by the rattling off of numbers and by
verbal short-cuts that are almost invariably confusing.
The present great traffic volumes are a tax on even the co-
pious facilities of the Bell System. And in order that the
public’s time may be conserved in fullest measure, it is urged
that the needless waste of undue haste be avoided, and that
consideration he shown the operating force in its endeavor
to maintain service accuracy before all else.

Some damage was done to the
crops growing on uneven ground
by the heavy rain, Sunday.
With the Liberty bond over-
subscribed and a good season in
the ground all is well at Spring
Creek, except for a Pro-German
who is trying to force his tenant
to plant one hundred acres to
cotton on his farm in this Com-
munity. I said Pro-Germafi* and
would like to know what should
be done in a case of a profiteer
who is trying to coin gold out of
the blood of our soldier boys, and
the tears of their mothers. 4
John Pressley, our rural car-
rier, broke his car in crossing a
culvert Monday, but a piece of
wire and a wagon rod started the
car and incidentally the mail,
bringing cheer to many a weary
heart.

In the matter of James F.

All persons having claims a-
gainst James F. Meier, Deceased,
are required to present the same,
with the necessary vouchers, to
the undersigned administratrix
at her place of residence at
Mountain View, Oklahoma, with-

barred.

Dear folks:
t Received your letter
tonight.
1 am not in the Depot Brigade
now; I have been transferred to
the Ordnance Depot. I suppose
am here to stay, though I may be
transferred back to the infantry
or some other branch of the ser-
vice.
The Ordnance Department
handles everything the army uses
except clothiug, hence, vou may
imagine the different qualifica-
tions a person must have. Every
person in this department is at
0Q€ tbiPg, for iflaUCvt,
For the sake of what they died for, will you not
/
give—and give till the heart says stop?
None of us here can give as greatly as they gave
and as others are yet to give. But can we not sacri-
fice ourselves a little? Will you take a little from
the comforts of your life and give, not a mere “coni
science gift ” that salves your pride and lets you say
to yourself: “ I have given to the Red Cross”—but
a gift that cuts down into the quick and hurts be-
cause it makes you deny yourself ?

bookkeepers, clerks, accountants,
mechanics and engineers. I was
sent here as a draftsman.
1 like this department much
letter than any of the others,
though I would rather have gone
on with my company. I shall
never be satisfied until I am "over
*b<re." However, the chances of
me going joop look very sligj
* present.
A continual stream of boys are
coming in all the time, and an
equal number going out.
Yes, I have heard that it is very
easy to get furloughs from Camp
Bowie, bat they are scarce here.
Transportation facilities are too
badly congested.
Hmyoo begrd wbttfccs Lee
' got his commission?
I came near trying out for ai
officer, bat decided to wait
while, at least until J get my twi
teeth replaced.
Well, I musi close, as it is near
ly time for the lights to go out.
Sincerely,
