MAYES COUNTY REPUBLICAN
PRYOR, OKLAHOMA, THURSDAY, APR 4, 1918,
April Showers Bring May Flowere
with no greater certainty than bank deposits
bring the flowers of business happiness.
Have you ever stopped to think that the
habit of setting aside a part of your income and
entrusting it to a bank, there to thrive and in-
crease, is watering the soil of the future years so
that they will be productive of the good things
of life, instead of a barren waste.
April is the month of promise, but always
remember that the chill of December is coming.
Why not display some wisdom by laying by
some of your earnings in the springtime of
youth for the winter of old age?

Ia another place in thii issue of
the Republican will be found a list
of the meetings to be held next
Sunday morning, afternoon and
evening, together with the places of
the meetings and speakers who will
address these meetings.
This is to be the most intensive
drive that has yet been undertaken
in this county since the beginning
of the war. It is for the purpose
of setting before the people the
third Liberty Loan and it is sincer-
ely hoped that Mayes county will
go over the top with her full quota
subscribed.
The quota for Mayes county is
$126,000.00, or a general average
of about $2000 for each school dist-
rict. However, the quota for each
district will be figured on a basis
of the assessed valuation. This
wili give some districts more and
some less than the general average.
When you stop to think of it,
this is not such a large amount
after all, that the government is
asking you to loan at a rate of
per cent. The bonds are non-tax-
able and therefore very desirable
securities. Let every one do his or
her bit in regard to the third Lib-
erty Loan and help the Sammies to
lick the huns.
Woodmen Prompt.
O. H. Graves, clerk of the local
Modern Woodman Camp, Friday
handed to Mrs. Urie a draft fori
Correspondent Musi Be Caretul.
The Rejfublican is always very
careful of news sent in by corres-
pondents, but once in a while an
item creeps in that should have no
place in the paper. This is because
we are practically a stranger in
this community and therefore easily
imposed upon. Be it said, however
that nothing is farther from our
I mind than to publish anyth'ng that
j is in any way misleading or false.

responsible for an item must stand
paying death ’ back of it, or else apologise for its
I appearance.
The Connell Votes.
After getting an expression of i
the people of the city of Pryor in
regard to the pool hall, three mem-
bers of the council, Johnson, Rud-
icil and Linseott voted Monday
night to disregard the expressed
wishes of their constituents in that
regard. However, there were three
members, Woodward, Shutt and
Watts, backed by the Mayor, who
voted to let the expressed will of I
people stand.

Bell’s Appointment Confirmed.

senate for confirmation as post
master of Pryor, last Friday. Altho
Mr. Bell has not a3 yet received his
appointment, it is just a matter of

ed postmaster.
Got After Preacher.
A preacher over near Locust
Grove was called on the carpet by
the federal officers at Muskogee
last week and called upoq to explain
a few remarks he had made in a
sermon. It seems a representative
of the Mayes County Defense Coun-
cil happened to be present and the
preacher’s remarks caused the rep-
resentative to get busy. The preach-
er was sent home with admonition
to be careful of his words hereafter.
Messrs. T. L. Marteney, A. Lee
Battenfield and J. C. Anderson
motored down to Long View school
house Thursday evening to hold a
war meeting. The parties who
asked that speakers be sent there
on that night, had either forgotten
about it or did a good job of "slack-
ing” as the house was dark and no
one showed up. A little of this
kind of work goes a long way, and
the County Council of Defense may
take a notion to call someone on the
carpet over this matter.
