Soldiers Behind
Red C ross Drive
There were more than 80,000
Oklahomans, who were in ser-
vice during the war, are flockin
to the standard of the Red Cross
in the coming roll call member-
ship campaign from Novembei
2 to 11.
Service men wTho felt the
timely kindness of the Red Cross
from the day they answered th<
call to arms until they laid the t
down, are eager to express theii
feeling for the “greatest moth
er” by joining in the coming
membership drive of the Ameri-
can Red Cross.
Th® Red Cross started out vvitl
the boys from camr.s, went with
them to the battle fields of
France and back- again to camp
and hospitals —a companion sym-
bolizing the spirit and devotio1
of the American people. The
R“d Cross fed them when the.\
were hungry and made then
laugh when they were sad, care'
for their Wounds and desease;
and helped them readjust them
selves to civil life. No wonder
these men are steadfast friend;
lof the Red Cress and willim
workers in its cause.

Keeping the Young Folks I
is more of a problem now than ever before.
You don’t want your boys and girls to go to
. the city, then offer them some inducement
to stay on the farm. The best possible way
is to build good, attractive, comfortable
homes. Not merely a place to stay, but hon-
est to goodness livable homes. Don’t depend
on hiring your farm labor. Its hard to get
and often unsatisfactory. Settle your farm
labor prolem. Build now.

has a well of deep oil was re-
veiled to them “when Garvin
Rosser brought in his well at
1,800 feet. Mr. Rosser has the
salt water shut out af his well
which so often gives trouble in
this section, and now bails the
pure oil from its depths, al-
though Mr. Rosser has a good
well at 1.S00 feet it is generally
thought that Mr. Rossar has
penetrated the main pool which '
h»s for many years ‘furnished
the oil by seepage for .the Gote-
I o field of shallow- produ ction.
James S. Camp, a consulting
geologist of this pi ace, after !
making a careful survey of the!
Gotebo field and the sur rounding i
territory has made a st atement
chat the main pool lies '. to the
north and wmst of Gotel 5o, and
it is hoped that in the m ^ar fu-
ture that the mighty bi ts of
Teel will pound away at the ' new
hidden rocks of the region u orth
>f Gotebo and go down into the
depths of the earth to find the
hidden lake of liquid gold i ind
prove Mr. Camp’s theory is
right, or forever prove the her m-
tiful science of geology a failui 'e.
