RAISING FUNDS
FORPANA|NA
EXPOSITION
LAR AND TAG DAY ALL OVER
THE STATE. CARTER COUNTY
TO RAISE $500 TOWARD BLDG.

Next Saturday has been designated
by Governor CruCe as Dollar and
Tag Day." for the purpose of raising
funds to build an Oklahoma building
at the Panama exposition. No appro-
priation was made for this building
by the last legislature, and the money
must be raised by private subscrlp-
ton. Carter county's prorata Is $500,
and as yet but fiye dollars of that
amount has been paid it. The Okla
hOma Panama Exposition commission
has named Mrs. II. c. Potterf, Mrs.
Pennington, Mrs. Harreld and several
other ladies as a committee to work
here tag day, and it is a safe bet
that they will get the money.
Judge Jesse Dunn, formerly of this
state, but now of California, has re-
turned to make a campaign for this
building, and is meeting with success
wherever he speaks. The following is
what an Oklahoma City, paper has to
say of his work:
"Oklahoma Panama exposition com
mission express themselves as highly
pleased with the interest shown by the
large audiences that have listened to
Judge J. j. Dunn's addresses during
the past week. The commissioners
say that complete arrangements have
been made, and big crowds assured in
the cities here Judge Dunn is to speak
the coming week in an effort to raise
funds with which to construct an Ok
lahoma exhibit building at the Panama
fair.
Judge DU"n has been closely identi-
fed with the exposition officials at San
Francisco, has closely watched the
construction of the buildings on the ex-
position grounds, knows the arrange
ments which have been made by all
other states in the Union, and says
that it would be unfortunate if Okla
homa should fail to make a proper
showing at the fair. The thought that
Oklahoma might not be properly re-
presented, has prompted Judge Dunn
to return to Oklahoma to assist in
raising the necessary funds.

MobiIizine Final Reserve

London, Aug. 10.-Official war ad
vices indicate that the French are
making two big strategic movements
into Germany.
One is the turning movement i'll AL
SAGE near the Swiss frontier where
the Austrians are hurrying to the
Germans aid. The other is directed to-
ward the great German fortress at
Metz.
The inundation of the Seille Valley
between Metz and Nancy was one of
the Germans futile attempts to block
this second movement.
The Germans meanwhile are max
ing a strong movement into France
via Luxembourg, entering chiefly
through Esch, where great unloading
platforms for horses, men and guns
have been temporarily erected In this
movement, the Germans razed the
village of Merl.
1t is reported that the Germans are
mobilizing one million men, its land
sturm, or final reserve. The German
invasion through Belgium appears at
a standstill.
The Times correspondent describ-
ing the Liege fighting, says that the
Belgians and Germans used aerial
fleets. One lone Belgian aeroplanist
pursuing a huge Zeppelin, destroyed
it. although losing his own life. The
Germans then quit using Zeppelins,
but used aeroplane scouts. The Bel
gans destroyed several of these. Two
Belgians in an aeroplane were knock
ed almost unconscious by a shell
bursting just beneath them, but they
reached the ground safely.
