Gotebo drills are kept going, it
is said, with the determination o:
striking oil or going on through
to China_
Indications are that Italy wil
get back in line with the allied
powers and give a quit-claim to
Fiume.
The Reds, otherwise I. W. W
o
are trying to create a reign of
terror in the East by sending in-

fcrnal machines by mail to prom
inent men of the country.
Oklahoma City has one sure-
enough nigger cop. He has been
unofficially on the force for some
time but is now a regularly ap
pointed policeman.
Tuesday the wife of former U.
S. Senator Hardwick of Georgia
received by mail at her Atlanta
home an infernal machine which
exploded in opening and pain-
fully wounded the lady and blew
o
oil both hands of her maid.
A Paris dispatch of the 30th
says the credentials of the Ger
man delegates to the peace con
ference would be handed over to
an allied commission yesterday,
and the terms of the peace treaty
will be presented to the German
delegates Monday.
Farmer boys who have been in
the army and served in the motor
transport corps or in motorized
branches of the field artillery
haye obtained a fund of informa-
tion which is now of great value
to them in their civilian work in
the management of tractors <
the farm.
Airplane Fight
An airplane battle oyer Okla
homa City will be a spectacular
feature of the Liberty Loan drive
this afternoon. Two German
Fokkers will attack a Curtis plane
while the latter is circling the
city. The Fokkers will in turn
be attacked by four American
and English scout planes, anc
will be driven to the ground out
of control. It will be a reproduc
tion of the battles fought over
Paris and London when those
cities were raided by the German
planes. ___
Kerosene Explosion
Ten dead and one believed to
be mortally injured \ as the result
of an explosion caused by an at
tempt to kindle a fire with kero-
sene. A telegram from Chelsea
gives the following details: The
explosion and fire was the resuli:
of Tom Ballard's attempt to kin
die the morning fire with kero
sene. Coal was burned in the
cook stove and when the smoul
dering fuel failed to burn rapidly
he dashed oil from a can into the
fire box. An explosion followed
and almost instantly the entire
xuilding was in flames. The
house was a two-story frame lo
cated 12 miles west of Chelsea. .
Cottonwood.
The officers and men at Fort
Sill are to have swimming pools
constructed by the deepening of
some of the natural pools of
Medicine Creek back of the post.
Also a theater building costing
$27,000 with a seating capacity of
2,500 will be completed early
this month.
In spite of pessimistic predic
tions the spirit of optimism grows
stronger. Abnormal conditions
cannot last. A year ago there
was apparently less prospect for
the ending of the war than since
the beginning, yet every sane
man fully believed it must end in
a comparatively short time. And
now that the end of active hos-
tilities has come conditions gen
erally are becoming normal and
a spirit of hopefulness prevails.
Now that a bountiful wheat
crop is almost assured the farmer
can rest assured the stock sales
man will be along soon if he haS
not already put in an appearance.
Of course there are some good
stocks peddled about the eountry
but they arc very few in number.
At least 90 per cent of the get
rich-quick kind hawked by "live
wires" are fakes. It takes a slick
salesman lo sell that kind. So
We did think this time last
week that we would neyer again
pen the news from this vicinity,
but thinking that maybe some
would conclude we were "shooed”
or rather scared out of the game
And we certainly won't take a
bluff, no true American will,) we
will each week hereafter send a
lew lines from Cottonwood, un-
ess something unusual happens
to ye scribe—a black eye, frac-
tured arm, etc.
Otto H. Krater was the guest
of Will Ash Sunday.
Mr. and Mrs. Charlie Veach
were visitors at Mr. Dvson's on
Monday afternoon.
The rain and hail of Sunday
night did quite a bit of damage
to gardens, growing crops and
fruit in this yicinity. Nearly ev-
eryone has something to replant
and about half the fruit was
beaten off by the hail.
Mr. and Mrs. Dudgeon and
children visited with their daugh-
ter, Mrs. Leonard Brown, Sunday.
It is reported that wedding
bells were ringing around Cot-
tonwood Sunday, but not being
certain will not state it as a fact.
Claud J. Riggins, who has been
with the A. E. F. for the past 8 or
9 months, arrived from France
Saturday by way of Camp Pike,
where he received his discharge.
His many friends join with his
parents, brothers and sisters in
welcoming him home.
A traveling picture agent cre-
ated lots of excitemeut in this
community last week. Just ask
the ladies on the "F" phone line.
Not mentioning the news items
stir Cottonwood is there when it
comes to staging big stunts.
Mrs. Vance Grubb and the in-
0
fant son of Mr. and Mrs. Leonard
Brown are reported recovering
from recent sickness.
P. F. A. Posey reports 41 fe-
male registrants. Glad to see
Oklahoma lining up with other
states. Every woman as well as
man should vote next Tuesday

make or lose.
The heavy rain of Sunday and
Monday was general all over th**
state, and while some damage is
reported from hail as a whole
the down pour was of great ben-
efit. According lo statement of
John A. Whitehurst, president of
the state board of agriculture, the
April crop report will be the best
that department has ever issued.
Says Mr. Whitehurst; "On look
ing out over the state after the
splendid rains of the past week,
it is found that growing condi
tions as a whole were never bet
ter in lhc history of the state,
and it is s*le lo sav this will h"
the biggest year egncnltiirally
Oklahoma has ever had."
Mr. and Mrs. Harry Crater ei -
tertained last Tuesd iy night in
honor of their nephew, Edward
C. Crater, who was leaving for
California.
Though we had to abandon our
* weinie" factory on account of
high prices for raw material, we
are satisfied to be back on our
old job, and besides we were in
the lime light a bit. We have
been cussed and discussed enough
to make a movie star turn green
with envy—have been the most
talked-of person hereabouts, not
counting the dog.

Mrs. Vincent Astor Is Just asking the young man In khaki If ,he wants
another spoonful of sugar In his cocoa ns ho assembles his food at Victory
Hut, the new Y. M. C. A. center opened in Battery park, at the lower end of
Manhattan, New York city, for the accommodation of soldiers, snllors and
marines. Mrs. Astor worked for seventeen months In a “Y” canteen at the
base port pf Brest, France, and knows the soldfcrs and sailors require plenty
of sugar. She returned to New York at the end of the war, but re-entered
the work when the Y. M. C. A. opened Victory „Hut. Mrs. Astor is only one
of a large number of wealthy women who are giving liberally of their time
and menns to this work, trying In some measure to give the soldier a real
substitute for home.
