Millions Need Food
“We must help feed 375,000,000
people," says Dean A. H. Van
Vleet of the -University of Okla-
homa', who has charge of the gar-
den work being promoted by the
council of defense. The home
gardens are going to come in for
their share in helping in this
great task, too, and Dr. Van Vleet
is urging the early preparation of
gardens for next spring. He
says that now is the time to get
in a lot of the best work for a
successful garden. ‘‘The trash
and dead vines should l.e burnt,
as this will destroy more insects
and insect eggs than you can kill
easily next spring," advised Dr.
Van Vleet. “The dead leaves that
fall from the shade trees can be
put into the best of use if they
are piled up in a pile and allowed
to rot. They make good fertil-
izer for garden plants and should
be used for this purpose.”
Dean Van Vleet says that the
gardens in the United States were
worth $500,000 last year and
should be worth almost twice
that much next year. He urges
special preparation of garden
spots.
Britain Day
R. H. Wilson, State Superin-
tendent ot Puhlic Instruction, re-
ceived the following letter from
Dr. Charles W. Eliot, Honorary
Chairman of the National Security
League and American Defense |
Society:
“We are writing to advise you
that December 7th will be ob-
served as a special tribute to
Britain for Britain’s part iD the
world war. Will you co-operate
with us to the extent of getting
this information to students and
have mention made in the col
lege bulletins. Should you have
students especially familiar with
Britain's part in the war they
might offer their services to Brit-
tain Day committees. We will be
glad to hear from you and greatly
appreciate any co-operation or
publicity you can give to Britain
Day."
With his hearty indorsement
Mr. Wilson urges every school
and teacher in Oklahoma to join
in this movement.
Permanent Record
As a permanent war record the
Oklahoma State Council of De-
fense is obtaining authentic and
complete information concerning
each man from this state who
lost his life in the war. Blanks,
which can filled out so as to give
the desired information, are be-
ing sent to every countv council
in the state. The county councils
will attend to the distribution
and filling out of blanks and re-
turn them to the state council.
One set of records will be filed

cal Society, another at Washing-
ton and a third in the home

BRITAIN TO WRITE
LAW OF THE SEAS
Simonds Says it is Britain's
Right to Write the Law of
the Seas.
Coming Home
At the signing of the armisi ce
the machinery at the receiving
station of Camp Travis was re
versed and recruits of the latest
draft are being paid off and sent
back home. Beyond the return
of these, however, officials are
without further demobilization
orders, and probably not until
after congress acts will earlier
arrivals be released.

Copvriget 1918 bv New York Tribune
New York, Nov. 23.—It is to the
wars of Rome and Carthage that
one must turn for a parallel for
the gigantic naval surrender that
detroys German hopes of wrest-
ing the control of the seas from
Great Britain. After Zama the
Carthaginian state accepted a
peace by the terms of which all
their battle fleet, save ten galleys,
were surrendered to the Romans.
So perished the last serious chal-
lenge by any organized state to
Roman world supremacy for cen-
turies.
It is much less than a genera-
tion since the kaiser issued bis
challenge to the British in that
historic speech in which he de-
clared that the future of Germany
was upon the seas. And from
that hour to the present German
naval officers have drank to “The
Day" when British mastery of
the ocean should be destroyed.
And it is less than two years and
a half ago that the kaiser, visiting
his battle fleet after Jutland, arro-
gantly and mendaciously pro-
claimed that the goal had been
attained, the decision of Trafal-
gar abolished.
The submarine war was a
deadly peril, only imperfectly
perceiyed at the outset. It was
the deadliest thrust of Germany
after her defeat at the Marne.
But this threat, too, the British
navy met, gallantly aided both by
the French and the American
navies, and even this precious
aid was slight. The sea phase
was the British share, the British
job, and how well it was per-
formed we saw when the pick of
the enemy’s fleet, the best of the
armada so carefullv prepared
against the day of German reck-
oning, sailed to British ports and
surrendered without firing a shot.
Had the German armies tri-
umphed on land to the extent
that those of Napoleon triumphed
the world war might have lasted
as the war of the great emperor.
Only victory on land could com-
plete the victory on the water.
But while the British controlled
the seas the opportunity was al-
ways preserved against the mo-
ment when it could be embraced.
None of us knows today quite
what the phrase "freedom of the
seas” means, but we do quite un-
mistakably know what the free-
dom of the world means and we
are having spread before us at
this hour an impressive demon-
stration ot how that freedom of
the world has been preserved.
Between the United States and
German domination only the
British fleet has been an un-
shaken barrier for more than four
years, and one may not doubt
that with this lesson before them
the British nation will not con-
sent, to any agreement national or
international which weakens in
one slight detail the single sure
weapon for their defense, which
has been the salvation of the civ-
ilization of the world.
And in the defense of their
fleet, which has defended the lib-
erties of the world, our British
allies can be assured of the over-
whelming support of the Ameri-
can people. It is for Britain to
write the law of the seas—if she
will,
The great world war besides
the many thousands of lives lost
cost in money millions that fut-
ure generations will have to pay.
Though bloodless it will not be
a light burden.
Now is the Time!
Opportunity Awaits You
FARMS FOR SALE
We have a number of farms for sale ranging in price from
$10,000 down to as low as $1,000 per quarter section; some
on exceptionally easy terms. Now is the ideal time to buy
land if you possibly can do it, as the prices are sure ts advance
in the near future.
FARMS TO EXCHANGE
160 acres of good land located northeast of Mtn. View only a
few miles to exchange for land south of Mtn. View. Thia is a
good farm and is worth the money.
160 acres northeast of Mtn. View to exchange for income
property in Mtn. View priced right. This is worth looking into
by the city man who wants to get on a farm.
TOWN PROPERTY TO EXCHANGE
Good 9-room residence to trade for Aulo. Look at this. A
better one but not so large to trade for Auto. Surely you will
like one or the other. Better hurry and see them.
MONEY TO LOAN ON FARMS

big or little, at the lowest rates and most liberal terms. No
reason for looking elsewhere for farm loans. Let us know; we

LIBERTY GIRL8
The second number of our Mountain View Lyceum Course will
be a varied patriotic program by the Liberty Girls at the High
School Auditorium on Saturday evening) Dec. 7, at 8:30 prompt.
This company consists of five talented young ladies, each tal-
ented in her own way. One will read that great story “A Man
Without a Country." The kaiser is such a man today and we all
want to know how well it fits his description.
Another plays the piano with ease and the others will be heard
in solos, duets, trios and perhaps quartettes. They will sing selec-
tions of a patriotic nature, with other types of music to make a
varied program, which all music lovers will enjoy.
This company comes highly recommended and sure anyone
who misses this musical program will miss a rare treat. Ceme and
hear it and forget the worry of every hour for a little while.
Since the number comes on Saturday evening and we’re rushed
with Xmas shopping, the program will not commence until 8:30.
