BEN GOFF SAYS
ALL BOYS SHOULD
JOIN THE ARMY

Ben Goff, assistant county attorney
has arrived at Fort Logan II. Roots
Colo, and has been duly received into
the army ranks. He likes it, He
thinks it is just the place for all live
Americans and hopes the boys in
Chickasha will volunteer in this hour
Of their country's need. "The boys
cannot whip Germany by staying at
home he wrote his uncle, County At
torney Simpson, at same time tender
ing his resignation as assistant. "The
United States win have to show force
in order to show Germany that we are
in earnest"
Mr.. Goff likes the army discipline
so far as he has gone, but that was not
his object in joining It. He realized
that America was facing a terrible
foe and believed that sooner or later
men may be called from all ranks to
defend the nations honor
No successor to Mr.. Goff has yet
been appointed.

assert, is the matter Of the conserya-
ton of rags and linen scraps An in
jured man or woman found in a street
of the city receives instant attention
but many heroes are left for days UNI
provided for on the battlefield because
there are not enough clean rags on
hand to permit even themselves to
bandage their gaping wounds. This is
a condition startling enough when it
concerned boys and men of other ma
tionalities but it is our own boys who
are fighting now, they say and the
American mother and sister will sure
" see that these do not want for these
small attentions when rent by shot or

No woman in Chickasha is too rich

before the war is over, who will not
be doing this service for a relative or
