Here and there in oklahoma are
those still who maintain secretly that
American young men are being sent
to the trenches Of France at the call
of American dollars, that the draft is
bat the beginning OF oppression OF the
poor man by a military machine. that
the Liberty loan was a scheme by
which moneyed interests of the coun-
try worked to obtain the poor mans
coin. that this is a useless war,
fight that was none of our affair.
The fact that the women and child
rem of Belgium are starving under
orders from the Prussian government
has no effect on this mans attitude,
nor the fact that nothing but bleach
ing bones remain to tell the tale of
the murder OF women and children in
Poland. Il wouldn't mind fighting II
We were invaded" he argues. but |
don't want TO go to war with the
enemy three thousand miles away
Must this mans own wife or daugh-
ter be outraged before he will realize
the menace of the Prussian advance ,
Must the children of his own neigh
bors be starved. the old men in his
own home town be killed in cold
blood, their homes pillagcd and their
fields laid waste2
Must he see 1t with his own eyes
before he realizes that, with n turn
ing point in the struggle less unex-
peCtCd than have taken place in the
past. Germany can have an invading
force on American soil in less than
two months? That If by any turn in
events Prussia should gain command
OF the seas thru her submarines.
Won Hindenburg could land soldiers
in the United States faster than we
can train our millions.
America is not safe. a free people
nre not safe, nor homes nor women
nor children, so long as Pruss'an
autocracy holds the balance of the
worlds military power. our man can
shoulder the struggle now and keep
the battlefields on European soil. or
he can wait a few months or n few
years as chance may determine and
fight the battle of the Arras on
American soil. In the latter case II
will be his home and the homes
of his neighbors that Prussian sol
diers lay waste.
American dollars had no part In
| bringing on this war. The draft is
above all the poor mans friend, II
takes poor and rich, side by side. The
Liberty loan marked the beginning or
n new ola in America, more than ever
before tie farmer and .hc lahorer and

Americas war the fight of "Our
Man" and of his neighbors. 1t is a
| fight for self preservation.
America is IN the fight to stay, TO
win America will make free govern
ment and free peoples and free homes
safe In the western hemisphere by
making them safe thruout the world
"Our Man" the one who still holds

support to the government. will have
no effect on the efficiency OF the
American army directly. But his at
titude does retard the efforts of those
who are attempting to prepare a
nation for war" He Is prolonging the
struggle lust a little longer. He will
be responsible for the death CT lust q
few more of the boys of his neighbor-
hood War taxes will be made Just q

Why We're I'm the War.

German war plans are admitted by
German authorities themselves to
have included levying on the United
States heavily enough to pay the en-
tire cost of the war and collecting by
ruthless pillaging if pillaging became
necessary. Ambassador Gerard is au-
thority FOR the statement, and further
proof is not hard to find. The follow
Ing editorial comment appeared in the
kelnische Volkszeitung:
Certainly the heads of our army
and navy weighed the possibilities
carefully before deciding upon ruth
less submarine warfare. We are en-
titled to humping indemnity and
we do not care who pays il. Those
states which have already sacrificed
immense sums will be unable to nav
1t, therefore America will have to un-
button its pockets

Wheat May Win the War.

"The war Will not be Won by the
last 500, 600 fighting men, but by the
last 100000 bushels OF wheat" A
European statesman made the
prophecy and Mr.. Hoover America g
food administrator, declares mat the
United States must furnish that last
500 600 bushels
oklahoma farmers should increase
thei racreage Of wheat by a million
acres. farm men agree. Patriotism
demands 1t, and good business de-
mands It. Ard seed for next falls
sowing must be purchased now, be-
fore the best of this years crop is
taken out of the country. Moreover,
the men who raised wheat this year
should cave not only seed for this
fall hut as an emergency measure,
seed also for the following year.

Rippling Rhymes
THE SOLDIERS.
lEy WAIT MAsONl

It's sad 10 see the young men 20, away
from all they love and know, to where var s
beaeons burn; and poignantly it pains the
heart 10 feel. while watching them depart
that they may not return We calmly read OF
Others sons who went to face the Prussian
guns In yonder endless fray; We gave tho
tribute Of sigh to Engli hmen who went TO
debut they were far away. We cannot
truly sympathiEe with foreigners; an ocean
lies between them and our doors; the story
Of their sorrow seems like some vague horror
seen In dreams, when wintry tempest roars.
Now We behold our own depart. hru mists
Of tears We see them start, the laddies we
have reared. perhaps to see our home no
more. perhaps TO come back TO our door all
stricken, MANNED and scared. IL racks tho
soul TO see them stride away, away, with
noble pride. SO young brave, SO strong
we see them march In fine array, and then
kneel down somewhere and pray tina. wal
may cease ere long 1t breaks the heart to
see them 90 hut better far to face the foe
and for their country fall, than to pursue a
peaceful trade, and by base stratagem evade
the conrtry'S urgent call.

BIRTH CONTR0L.-The ancient
religion of ZoFoasteF practically
taught the men that their souls sal
vation depended upon the kind treat
ment of women. This was taught
hundreds Of years before Moses
time and it is still true today. f..
Ever read the motto of the Roman
wife in those beautiful, ever touch

Why was it 80, why did she cling to
him and he to her? They under
stood the laws Of NGod and man re-
garding sex; understood them and
obeyed them. Because woman de-
sires information that will enable
her to defend herself and the future
of the race, she seeks to gain MOTH

seeks to regain her jewels Of per-
sonal liberty and intellectual liberty,
of which she was stripped years ago,
and get it she will for the laws of
God are always in force,
Under the. laws Of justice and
righteousness what man, no matter
what his station in life may be, has
the right to dominate her person, her
mind and her soul. Birth control in
formation would not be. required if
man understood himself; if he but
knew that with right living, eating
and drinking, according to his indi-
vidual temperament, there would be
no such thing as abnormal sex ex-
preston. But eating and drinking
and living as they do, it all iRfames,
