FOR BOY* IN ARMY
The State of Oklahoma will
establish a workshop for the
mechanical training of boy-
! who are to go to the canton-
ments in the coming draft. The
preparation of conscripted men
so far as is possible, for occu-
pations neded by the army will
he given the men in classes 1
and 2 before they leave their
homes, according to a resolu-
, tion passed by the State Board
of Vocational Education.
The extent of the training
will depend upon federal co-op-
eration, the board hating asked
military authorities to place
these young men under pay
while learning fifty trades com-
prising the army and navy
courses. The aviation corps al-
one wants 79,00 trained men.
With federal aid three or four
large centers may be establish-
ed in Oklahoma where compe-
tent instructors will be engag-
ed. The university of Oklahoma
and the A. & M. College have
placed their plants at the dis-
posal of the vocational educa-
’tional board. The Rock Island
offers its railroad shops at El
Reno. Other proffers have been
made.
Director S. M. Barrett ex-
pects to have the schools in op-
eration on or immediately af-
ter January 20. In the event
federal aid is not forthcoming
as many young men in these
classes will be trained as will
volunteer to attend at the large
centers at their own expense.
RED CROSS IN FRANCE
WORKS FAST
The degree of organization
of the American Red Cross ab-
road, and the speed with which
it can formulate and execute
plans, is shown in its recent
achievement of equipping a
hospital and organizing its
1 staff within two weeks after the
hospital property was placed at
its disposal,.
The new link in the chain of
institutions which the American
Red Cross is forging to regain
for Prance the health of her
citizens, is the Sainte Eugenie
Hospital at Lyons, for tubercu-
losis repatriates.
A cable dispatch from Paris
headquarters of the American
Red Cross announcing the op-
ening of the hospital, said in
part:
“Sainte Eugenie is lent to
the American Red Cross by the
Hospital Board , of Lyons, which
supplies the building with heat,1
light, water and sanitation
without cost to the Red Cross,
and with food, linen and disin-
fection at cost. The American
Red Cross provides the nurses
and doctors and hospital sup-
plies.
“Often as many as 65 tuber-
culosis repatriates arrive at
Evian in one week, coming
from occupied France and Bel-
gium. Returning to their homes
they have spread infection.
The new hospital cares for 200
patients in five new hospital
barracks and in the main buil-
ding.”
The skelled mechanic who
offers his services at aviation
and shipbuilding plants is lit-
tle less a patriot than the man
who will carry his gun to the
trenches.

Iowa Cream Separator
LACK OF RESPONSE
TO NATION'S CALL
With the exception of Major
and Woods Counties in particu-
lar and one or two other coun-
ties in lesser degree, northwes-
tern Oklahoma has been placed
in the slacker list at the adju-
tant general’s office. It is far
behind other sections of the
state in the tender by citizens
of personal service without
compensation on county draft
and exemption boards, “too
busy” being the usual res-
ponse when called.

Song__________Congregation
We will meet any separator on the market In any
farmer’s house to show him that we have the best
machine on the market. If any other dealer will meet
us and will skim as close as we do (we don’t ask him
to beat us) we will buy his machine and make the
customer a present of it. But if we beat him he is to
buy our machine and do likewise. We will also put
up $100.00 to this effect to be used on the road from
the customer’s home to Wewoka. This challenge is
open to everybody.
Come in and let us show you this machine and how
we can wash the disk with the patented washer in2
minutes without taking the disk apart. Cream is now
worth 50 cents per pound. Just think of it! At these
prices our county’s cream would bring more money
than the entire grain crop.
The government is urging us to be patriotic and
conserve all the resources. Let us give you a list of
satisfied customers as references. It looks strange to
us that we sold 16 separators around the little town
i
Bearden and several in Pontotoc beyond Konawa.
Seminole is a better county than either of the above
named, so lets get busy and develop its resources.
Again we tell you: Buy your implements early, for
later on you won’t be able to get them. This has been
the case for the past two years.
