ALL WILL ',JD|N TO
MAKE ''FLAGDAY''
A GREAT SUCCESS.
WOMEN, CHILDREN AND
BUSINESS MEN ARE
WORKING no ONE END

The suggestion contained In The
Leader of Thursday has created great
enthusiasm all over the city. The
proper observation of Flag Day has
already been planned by the patriotic
organizations of the city and commit
tees are already at work. Many Of the
special features of the day have been
planned and preliminary committees
have agreed to get busy They will
begin the active work Saturday.
While representatives of the various
city organizations are being organized
into an executive and sub-committees
which will have active charge of all
the various features necessary to make
the occasion d great success and a
highly creditabe incident in the his
tory OF Guthrie. The Leader was not
mistaken when it presumed that every
body would at once get full Of patriotic
enthusiasm at the mere mention OF
the tentative plan as suggested in the
article Of Thursday. But 1t was hardly
thought that the enthusiasm would
take so quickly and so deeply. 1t
shows that Guthrie citizens-men,
women and children-are wide awake
to the propriety Of just at this time
making Flag Day in Oklahoma, and all
over this great Nation, an energetic
reality instead of a formality. The
Leader is now positive that the COM
ing observance of Flag Day in
Guthrie will be an historic event, and
that every man. woman and child
especially the childrenwill long re-
member the occasion and all that it
now means.
For the purpose OF starting the, or
ganisation of each of the city school
districts meeting has been called at
the school houses Saturday afternoon
at 2:30 sharp. Besides the various
workers in charge of these preliminary

Reef Used in Salad.

Although beef is not at all an ideal
salad meat, surprisingly good meat
salad may be made from a small piece
of boiled beef (bouilli). A half cupful
of such meat cut in small pieces and
mixed with dainty cooked vegetables
and mayonnaise dressing may be
very tasty and will make an unexpect

The vinaigrette of beef, a popular
way with the French of using left over
boiled beef, is practically the same
thing as a beef salad, except that the
meat is cut in as pretty slices as pos
sible and allowed to lie in the dressing
for time before it is served. This is

Now 1t is customary, in the case Of
rural funerals, for those who attend,
