Lightless nights are a thing of the
past in Oklahoma. State Fuel Admin-
istrator P. A, Norris, has Issued an
order, which went inco effect Novem-

More than 1,000 Oklahoma selectives
will be in the first bunch of men
discharged from Camp Pike, accord-
ing to the program announced by
General March, chief of staff, at
Washington. These are Oklahoma

schools and the development battal-
ions and they are now being sen'
home.

DEMOBILIZATION HAS BEGUN
The department of agriculture haa
called to the attention of all county
agents in Oklahoma the fact that hot-
ter cotton should be grown. The de-
partment estimates that the exports
of the first year following the close
of the war will exceed 2,000,000 bales
the exports of any year in the history
of the country.
Sugar allowances in Oklahoma was
increased to four pounds per person
per month, by wire received at state
offices from Herbert Hoover. Ali in-
dustries in the “a” and “d” class are
now permitted to have a 50 per cent
additional sugar allotment. This in-
crease goes into effect on December
certificates, now being issued. The
4-pound ruling means that public eat-
ing houses now may use four pounds
for every 90 meals served, serving 2l/s
teaspoons to each person.
The Blacksmiths, Horseshoers and
Wagonmakers’ Association of Okla-
homa closed its tenth annual conven-
tion at Durant by selecting Oklahoma
City as the next meeting place. The
following officers were elected: W. A.
Pursy:, Durant, president; W. M. Kil-
ius, Henryetta, vice president, and A.
R. Bradshaw, Okmulgee, secretary-
treasurer. The new executive board
elected consists of J. H. McCurley.

E. M. Blanton. Durant. The next
annual meeting will be held Nov. 17-
18, 1919.
STATEHDUSE BREVITIES
An order was issued Jjy the corpora-
tion commission giving.the. Enid, City
•Railway ,’.Company permission to
•charge;; a 'seven cent street .'car fare
This is the second increase in street
car fares to be granted by the com-
mission, the other increase being
granted to the Chickasha Street Rail-
way Company.
Walter J2rrett, secretary of the
state board of pharmacy, says that
there is an unprecedented demand in
Oklahoma for competent registered,
pharmacists.
Legislation permitting Oklahoma
City to raise the limit of fines in mu-
nicipal court probably will be asked
of the next state legislature by city
officials who profess to be dissatis-
fied with the present limit of $19 and
costs.
Six hundred twenty-four Oklahoma
Men have been killed in action or died
since entering the armed services of
the country.
Redmond S. Cole, 37, of Pawnee,
recently elected judge of the district
court of the Eighteenth district, com-
prising the counties of Pawnee and
Tulsa, is said to be the youngest map
on the district court bench in Okla-
homa.
State Superintendent Wilson says
that he will again give his influence
and support to the proposal to furnish
free text books for school children of
Oklahoma if the question again comes
beore the legislature in January. Sen-
ator Elect Wilburn Cartwright of Coal
county, who as a member of the house
two years ago was joint author of a
free text book proposal, said that he
will introduce another bill in the sen-
ate during the coming session. Super-
intendent Wi:son has recommended a
free text book system to the last three
legislatuies.
Attorney General Freeling will ask
the next legislature to make provision
for another assistant in his depart-
ment who will devote his entire time
to the legal questions involved in the
enforcement of the state inheritance
and income tax laws.
There is no provision in the state
compu sory education law that pre-
vents the employment of truant offi-
cers to compel Indian children of the
five civilized tribes to attend public
schools, according to an opinion given
to State Superintendent Wilson by
Attorney General Freeling. The ques-
tion was referred to Freeling by the
superintendent of the Indian agency
at Muskogee.
A flat automobile state tax in lieu
of the present graudated fee based on
horsepower and the length of time the
car has been in use. will be recom-
mended to the legislature in January
by George Noble, state highway com-
missioner. Mr. Noble will a!so recom-
mend the use of a permanent tag thus
eliminating the present excessive ex-
pense of buying new tags each year.
These two charges in the automobile
tax law will greatly simplify the work
of the highway department and reduce
the cost of its maintenance more than
50 per cent, according to Mr. Noble

The American forces in France, lien
oral March said, had taken 14.000 Ger-
man prisoners in round numbers and
1,400 guns. He added that the cas-
ualties among the American forces in
northern Russia were not severe, con-
trarv to reports and that encouraging
accounts of the situation of the forces
there had been received.
Demobilization of the American ex-
peditionary forces, already in progress
with the movement homeward of sick
and wounded, will be hastened by the
return at an early date of eight divis
ions of national guard and national
army troops, eight regiments of coast
artillery and two brigades of field ar-
illery. This announcement was made
by General March, chief of staff, on
receipt of dispatches from General
Pershing.
These To Come Home.
The divisions which General March
said have been designated by General
Pershing to return as soon as tiie s:ck
and wounded have been moved to the
United' States are:
National guard: 31st (Georgia, Ala-
bama and Florida); 34th (Nebraska,
iowa, South Dakota and Minnesota):
38th (Indiana, Kentucky and West Vir-
ginia). and 39th (Arkansas, Mississip-
pi and Louisiana.)
National army: 76th (New Eng-
land); 84th (Kentucky, Indiana and
southern Illinois); 86th (northern IUi
nois, including Chicago), and 87th
(Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi and
southern Alabama.)
The coast artillery regiments to he
returned as soon as possible were an
uounoed as the 4Gth, 37th, 48th, 4!)th,
5l)th, 73rd, 74th and 75th.
The two field artillery brigades to
be brought home are the 65th and the
163rd. Eighty-two aero squadrons,
aighty-one construction companies and
special branches from England will be
brought home as soon as facilities are
available.
The aero squadrons to return are
Nos. 92, 1 10. 156, 167, 177, 1S7. 188.
210, 211, 216, 219, 220, 225, 226 228 to

Xheo 'construction companies tYre:
Nos. ,3 to 19 -inclusive with the exesp
'.ion of Company^ No. 11 and three
Jtlier special units.
The strength of the American army
:o be maintained in France was not
indicated, beyond the demobilization
plans announced. The American
iroops in Italy, including the 332nd in-
fantry, will be stationed for the time
oeing at Cattaro, Flume and Trieste,
ane battalion of the infantry being
located .at each place.
Demobilization of the forces at home
is proceeding steadily. Several of the
present camps will he abandoned as
i.oon as they are cleared of their oc-
cupants.
General March deferred answering
all inquiries as to the reorganization
of the regular army until the regular
bill, which the general staff is prepar-
ing, has been approved and laid before
congress. He said, however, that
there are only 30,000 men now in the
army bound by the pre-war seven-year
enlistment.
These, he said, will be held to their
enlistment contracts while the 700,000
men who volunteered for the duration
of the war will be released except
where they re-enlist.
Some were pacifists before the wnr.
Some of these have changed while oth-
ers—well, for Instance, my frleiul—or
rather my former friend, Miss B. She
never did believe in war. When Bel-
gium was Invaded and the Hun fe-
rociously bayoneted babies and violat-
ed little girls »lie still refused to be-
lieve In war. To some of us war seem-
ed the most horribly apparent fact In
the world, hut still she did not believe
In it. Sin- was a pacifist; and a paci-
fist, as near as I can tell, seems to lie
one who has resolved to Ignore wnr
as long as the war does not hurt them,
sin- had been for years, and is still, a
state employee, and at times she lias
been a social worker, one of those well-
meaning persons who believe Hint one
part of society is qualified to reach
flown and lend by the hand certain
more unlucky parts of society to show
ihem the way they should go.
Up to tlie last minute of the Inst
hour before the war vote was taken my
former friend maintained that we hud
uo cause for war and there was no
possibility that we would ever be In
the war. Just what went on In her
mind when we took up our stern task
of cheeking the advance of the Hun 1
cannot guess and sin- has never told.
I wondered If she would stick to her
principles and fight for them. 1 no-
ticed that she bought bonds and sub-
scribed to tiie Red Cross. She may
have been one of those who would glvtl
to the Red Cross because in doing so
she was not helping the war. Ollier
pacifists have said as much, but even
their “tainted” money will help.
At Red Cross Headquarters.
Later I learned that my former
friend had gone to Washington, spend-
ing her vacation as a clerical helper ia
Red Cross headquarters. Then I lie-
lieved Unit she had been regenerated 1
and was no longer a pacifist. We hud
bien pretty stiff about the time war !
was declared owing to our different
views, hut I now felt free to write and 1
tell her to find a place for me to work
also. Her reply amuzed me. She wrote j
that Washington was too crowded a |
place to live mid Hint she was quite
tired of it. It really took hours to get
anywhere. Living was too high to
save any money. She had written nil
the expert stenographers who had ap-
plied to her for advice that they should
keep their Jobs in Nebraska. That, in-
deed, the most patriotic tiling that Ne-
braskans could do was to stay in Ne-
braska even though the government
was “Just crying for stenographers.”
She was coming buck to raise a garden
and u pig and that was the best thing
for all of us to do. And at tills time
the entire country was placarded with
advertisements bogging women who
were competent to apply at once to
the civil service commission and urg-
ing ottiers to begin to study ns the cler-
ical force of the country was not suf-
ficient to attend to war work.
Pacifist Needs Watching.
I thought of the 20,000 men ulready
enlisted from Nebraska and of the
many more who would go and I wrote
to Miss It. and remonstrated with hoi
for throwing a wrench In the machin-
ery. I made Investigations us to tiie
cost of living and conditions and found
nothing to deter workers who were
willing to' put up with some Incon-
venience for the sake of necessity. In
reply I received such a torrent of
abuse and accusation that caused me to
understand that a pacifist will fight
and fight In a mighty nasty way if
crossed in anything. My puclttst ac-
quaintance has now returned to her
state Job. Her wnr service consisted
In keeping a number of very efficient
workers away from Washington and
they In turn no doubt kept others
uwuy. The epithet—“council of of-
fense”—sin- applied to me, merely con-
vinces me That a pacifist in war work
needs watching or lie may help tlu
enemy instead of ills own country.
FORGET-ME-NOTS

The blue of the l'orgot-me-nots
A bumble beauty wears;
But the Hume light ts In their leaves
That powders heaven with stars;
It minds me cf blue legions
That packed the great advance.
The sparkle of the dancing eyes
In the blue ot lighting Fiance.
The violet of the ocean,
The gentian of the sky.
I’ve loved them all my life, and now
My life Is passing hy;
A prayer to thee, kind heaven!
A kiss to thee, bright wave!
But the blue of the fnrget-me-nnts
Smiles from my hero's grave.

Idaho vote on November 5 confirms
the re election of Senator John F. Nu

by 970 votes out of a total vote ol

Eighteen Lost On Dumaru.
Washington.—Eighteen men from
the American steamer DuMaru lost
their lives after the vessel was wreck-
ed near Guam last month by lightning
exploding her cargo of gasoline. The
navy department announced that six-
teen of the men died from exposure
and starvation in an open boat and
that two others were drowned when
the boat with fourteen survivors, was
making a landing at San Jose, L'Or-
iente. Philippine Islands, November
4. A majority of the sixteen named
were residents of the Northwest.
The doctor said no with nil Hie final-
ity with which our medical men ex-
amining candidates for tiie army can
pronounce this word. The rejected
candidate turned away, profoundly de-
jected, Ills mind in chaos because nil
liis plans were upset. He was over
draft age. but lie had been so confi-
dent that he could pass. He was of
uo use in this war, he reflected bit-
terly. lie might as well be a cripple
or blind for all that he could do to
help.
It lind seemed so simple to pay nil
his debts, arrange his affairs, put ids
surplus into Liberty Bonds and the
(illd change into Wnr Savings Stumps
—and then enlist. And now they
wouldn't have him. All on account
of an Infinitesimal heart murmur.
“There's no use sending one man ffi
the front whom two will have to carry
buolc,” the doctor had said decldedlv.
As lie slouched down Michigan ave-
nue in Chicago, drooping In mind an I
body, In- noticed n button on the coat
lapel of a six-foot stranger. It. whs not
a Liberty Bond button, nor a Red
Cross button. Tiie stranger stopped to
gaze out over Lake Michigan and he
managed to read “War Camp Commu-
nity Service” upon If. The stranger
looked up. saw him reading, and gave
him a quids appraising glance.
A Ray of Sunshine.
“Know about H?” lie asked.
“No,” the dejected man answered
half henrtedly. “What is It?”
“Great stuff,” Ids new acquaintance
informed. “Little old war Job Ihe
Recreation Association of America
took on when the soldiers and sailors
began springing up over night like
mushrooms. It's tied up with the War
Department Commission for Training
Camp Activities—”
The man who had been turned down
by the doctor pricked up his ears.
"What do you do?” he wanted to
know.
The six-footer grinned.
“Kind of a long story,” he began,
“lnit we get ufter every community
anywheres near the training camps
and forts and nnvai stations, and—
well, see that the boys get some sensi-
ble entertainment—get folks interest-
ed in them as Individuals, you know.
bo that they get a chance to eat u
meal in a house with n regular family
around thorn. We get up dances, too.
with mothers, just like the ones
they've left, for chaperons. Then we
fix up clubs, and lists of cheap lodg-
ings which are all right. There’s a
bit to do. you can bet your bottom
dollar on trait.”
Need Men Like Him.
The man who had been refused a
Chance in the army grabbed him by
the sleeve.
“Say." be broke nut. “Do yon need
anybody to push tilings along. I’d like
to get In cm a thing like that.”
The reply came quickly.
“Wc do need men who can form lo-
cal committees—to furnish Impetus-
Before he could go on the other In-
terupted:
“Who can I take it up with?" he
naked.
The tall man gave him a card.
"Write to National Headquarters, 1
( Madison avenue, New York," he In-
; strueted, “or If you have Hie time and
money go on there.”
I A week Inter the rejected candidate
I for military service started oat from
War Camp Community Headquarters
with a traveling ling in Ills hand. Ills
j head was high and his eyes bright.
They wanted men with records as good
as his, and he had been put to work.

SPANISH INFLUENZA
Do Not Fear When Fighting
a German or a Germ!
By DR. M. COOK.
The cool fighter always wins and stf
there is no need to become panic-
stricken. Avoid fear and crowds. Ex-
ercise in tiie fresh air and practice the
three C'a: A Cleun Mouth, a Clean
Skin and Clean Bowels. To carry off
the poisons that accumulate within the
body and to ward off an attack of the
influenza bacillus, take a good liver
regulator to move the bowels. Such a
one is made up of May-apple, leaves of
aloe, root of Jalap, and is to be had
at any drug store, nnd called "Pleasant
Purg»tlve Pellets.”
If a bad cold develops, go to bed, wrap
up well, drink freely of hot lemonnde
and tnke a hot mustard foot-bath.
Have the bedroom warm but well ven-
tilated. Obtain at the nearest drug
store “Anurlc Tablets" to flush the
kidneys and control the pnlns nnd
aches. Tuke an "Anurlc" tablet every
two hours, together with copious drinks
of lemonade. If a truo case of influ-
enza, the food should be simple, such ns
broths, milk,buttermilk nnd Ice-cream;
but It is important thnt food be given
regularly in order to keep up patient’s
strength and vitality. After the acute
attack has passed, which is generally
from three to seven days, the system
should he built up hy the use of a good
iron tonic, such ns “Irontlc” tablets, to
be obtained nt some drug stores, or
thnt well known blood-maker and
herbal tonic made from roots and barks
of forest trees—sold everywhere as Dr.
Tierce's Golden Medical Discovery.
TAKES IDEA FROM AMERICA
France Plans Establishment*©! Publio
Libraries Modeled on System
of the United States.
“The public library Idea was a new
one to tiie French people," says
World's Work. “They have seen it in
operation and leaders of French
thought believe it Is something France
needs. A committee, with the presi-
dent of the French republic as its
chairman, lias been created to work
out plans for tiie establishment la
France of a system of public libraries
modeled on American lines.
“Plans are maturing for the estab-
lishment in France, after the lighting
Is over, of an enormous system of
schools and universities for the better
education of our soldiers during the
period of demobilization. It will take
as long to get our men buck ns it has
taken to get them over—longer, prob-
ably, because there will be no pressing
need for haste. Talleyrand said: 'You
can make a soldier out of a civilian,
but you cannot make a civilian out of
a military man.’ Our government is
going to try to do whiit Talleyrand
said was impossible. Our men have
got to lie educated for their return ns
individual units to civil life and not
as u military mass. The library war
service is tending more nnd inure defi-
nitely toward this educational objec-
tive.”

thought! Their slangy “enn the kais-
er” expresses an intention as serious
as that of the Crusaders and we ougiit
not to dream of thwarting them by
diplomatic action.
Any talk of peace, by the way, re-
calls the fact thnt such trentles must
be based oil confidence In Hie word of
the parties Involved, nnd that our gov-
ernment inis expressed n certain dis-
approval of trying.to deal with a po-
litical coterie that sees in treaties only
“a scrap of paper.” If it now met
these same officials nt a eonfereni^
table, entering into any compact with
them would nt mice acknowledge their
honorable nnd legitimate standing ns
governmental representatives. How,
after thnt. could tills government en-
cne.rug" the people of Germany to dis-
place them ns unworthy nnd to estab-
lish more democratic government? Im-
possible !
The only plnce where we can help
democracy in Germany Is the field of
buttle. We can there capture or kill
the guilty individuals or by straight
conquest of territory drive them to nn
unconditional surrender. We couid
then hold them prisoners while we
called for newly elected representa-
tives of tiie German people to treat
with us for a lasting pence. Our hoys
nre simple and courageous enough to
expect to do Just that. They are gal-
lant fighters enough to do It. if we
back them hy saying, “On to Berlin!"

| Courage, O faltering soul of mine!
j Athwart the worn-torn, grisly night,
j Writ by a hand divine.
A message see in words of light—
I Naught shall avail against the Right.
' The legions of the Insatiate foe
i Shall strive In vain to win the height
' Where starry banners flow;
i Shall fall, those tyrant hordes of
Might-
Naught shall nvali against «the Right.
! God's Justice reigns. !llimifable, strong
| Above a world in bloody plight.
J An end will eonie to wrong!
I For. sure as day suee'tels the night.
1 Naught shall avail against the Right
Jolly War Victim.

bet,” lie said, ’That I ran see more
with iny one eye than you can with
your two.”
“Prove it."
“Well, I cun see two eyes in your
face nnd you can only see one In
mine.”—Boston Evening Transcript.
