MOUNTAIN VIEWWAS
BEAT BY PONCA CITY
The Game Was Played La t Tri-
day at Nor man on the Boyd
Field. The Weather Was
Exceptionally Bad For a
Football Game.
The sane last Fridey between
the local football team and Pone*
Ci’y on the Boyd Field at No*
man resulted io favor of the
Pooca City team by a score of
64 io 7.
The day was exceptionally bad
for a football game. The wind
was blowing hard and during
the forvnooo n light sleet fell tbat
made th> ground too ihpp'.ry
fer ttrtm work. The Ponca City
boys scored a touchdown in the
first quarter by the wind fay*
oriog them in recovering their
own k.ck-cff. From that on
the playing whs in their favor.
some hard games this season ssd
have been victorious in all games
except the last. The g«me be-
tween Madill and the home boys
was protested and does not
count.
The boys have done well in
their several positions, and i*
would be hard to give one roor*
credit than another. Ted Burii^
name has bceu placed in thr.
all* star state second team as th«:
bast quarterback.
The fact that this is the fitM
year for a number of tbe ooyx
oo the team makes tbe honors
woo a record that is hard to beat.
As the record now stands,
Mountain View holds the cham-
pionship for the south part of
the state.
Oklahoma City and Marshall
played at Oklahoma City tbe same
day and Marshall lost by a scon
ot 77 to 0.

Two weeks ago last night a
Red Cross Society was organiz-
ed at Cottonwood school house.
At that time twelve members
were enlisted. One week after
that, or a week ago last night, a
pie supper was given for the
Red Cross Society. The sum of
$68 was turned to the new chap-
ter and a large number of new
members were enlisted. This
society is an auxiliary of the
Mountain View chapter and are
proving themselves active work-
ers while young in the cause.
TRAVIS LAUNDRY IS
LARGEST IN WORLD
All Your Laundry For One
Month No Matter How Much
For $1.60 a Month. And
Government Owned.
All of your laundry for one
month, no matter how much, at a
flat rate of $1.50. That is what
Uncle Sam's big laundry at Camp
Tray is charges tbe soldier boys
and collects at tbe end of the
month. The Soap Sud's factory
is the largest of its kind in the
world ane contains some of the
most modern and expensive laun-
dry machinery. The task of
sorting and classifying laundry
for 50,000 soldiers is no small task
when it must be taken into con-
sideration tbat all of these clothes
are exactly alike. This giant
laundry does even more for the
soldiers than guaranteeing him
the return of his own clothes,
clean and ironed. They all come
back mended. Buttons tbat have
been lost in drilling are replaced.
It does seem hard to convince
some people that tbe local Red
Cross Society derives no com-
pensation for their work. The
officers and the members do not
receive a penny of the money
donated, and they donate their Rents that have been made in
share with the others, besides crawling through the brush are
working all the time on the hos-
pital garments or knitting. The
money raised is used to buy
varn, the cut-out garments for
hospital use, etc. and these gar-
ments are bought through the
Government Red Cross head-
quarters. There is no one
organization that can do as much
for our soldier boys than the
Red Cross society and every mau,
woman and child should be a
member. All you need is a
heart and a dollar.
