TO THE PEOPLE OF THE
UNITED STATES

Ten Million Americans are in
vited to join the American Red
Cross during the week ending
with Christmas Eve. The times
require that every branch of our
great national effort shall be
loyalty upheld, and it is peculiarly
fitting that at tie Christmas sea-
son the Red Cross should be the
branch through which your will
ingness to help is expressed.
You should join the American
Red Cross, because it alone can
carry the pledges of Christmas
good will to those who are
bearing for us the real burdens
Of the world war, both in our
own Army and Navy and in the
nations upon whose territory the
issues of the world war are being
fought out. Your evidence of
faith in this work is necessary
for their heartening and cheer.
You should join the Red Cross
because this arm of the National
Service is steadily and efficiently
maintaining its overseas relief in
every suffering land, administer
ing our millions wisely and well
and awakening the gratitude of
every people.
Our consciences will not let US
enjoy the Christmas season if this
pledge of support to our cause
and the worlds veal is left un-
Red Cross membership
is the Christmas spirit in terms
Of action.
(Signed) Woodrow Wilson,
President of the American
Red Cross.

Nor mock Thy justice with his

We come Il but not with threats

Hear us, Lord God Of Hosts!
That Liberty be not betrayed and

And that her sons prove worthy
of the breed;
That Freedoms flag may shelter

Nor decorate the shrines of
Gold and Greed,
We come; and on our consecrated

We ask Thy blessing, Lord.
That honor be among those price,

Government Demands LGrge

The navy is figuring on purchasing
nifty million barrels of fuel oil for
naval purposes and the figures are 50
large as to be absolutely staggering.
1t is reported that the federal trades
commission is going to fix the pricc
but that the navy is demanding i'm
mediate shipments Of "A large amount
OF this fuel oil or at least the accept
ance Of order for same.
When ii Is taken into consideration
that there Is only a trifle over 1871
600 barrels of fuel oil in storage in
the Mid-Continent field, 1t will be
readily seen that the 10000 600 bar
rel order is some fuel Oil
This fuel oil is in the hands Of A.
separate Independent refiners but is
pretty well punched up at that. The
stocks as accurately reported at the
present moment are exceptionally
low. This applies to all kinds Of re
fined products and is as follows
Gasoline 326,0 barrels, owned by a
half dozen different refiners; kero-
sene 1890 barrels or n trifle more (,
distillate 1,3S7,00 barrels, and a total
production OF $1,000 barrels Of gaso-
line daily.
Should the government desire 20
purchase the fuel oil mentioned above
on a sliding scale based on the price,
last fall. Mid-Continent refiners will
bid for the business If given an OPP
portunity. on the other hand it
should he stated that all the fuel oil
and other refined products for tha,
matter are under contract at the pres
ent moment.
Many contracts must be filled as
for instance, the Malleable Iron
Works in Chicago has contract for
four cars per day Of fuel oil. The
Southern Pacifice railroad has n con-
tract to purchase II acrs of fuel oil
daily in this field and so it goes.
The consensus OF opinion among
refiners and marketers in Tulsa Is to
the effect that the Federal Trades
Commission ought to visit the Mid
Continent field and investigate condi-
tions before setting price on any
part of the output of the oil fields
here.
The commission has the un-
bounded confidence OF the oil fra
ternity most all of whom are willing
that they shall set the price for gov
ernment needs. this however should
not apply to the demand Of the trade

ALLEGES FIRST WAR XMAS

Alice" said her mother one day
about two weeks before Christmas,
you must remember that you can't
spend SO much for your friends this
year and you must not except as
big Christmas as the one We had
last year"
At first Alice was very unhappy,
then her mother reminded her Of
the hundreds of little children that
maybe wouldn't have enough to
eat. Alice asked her mother if she
knew of any of these children. Her
mother then told her of family
in France whose father was pris-
oner in Germany. The mother was
not very well and couldn't take
care of the family of three little
ones.
Alice thought it all over and told
her mother she would go without
her Christmas this year as the lit
tie children had done three years
in France and Belgium. The next
afternoon they went down town
and bought shoes, clothes and toys
for the three children. Then Alice
saw a doll she did so want.
Christmas morning Alice was
very much surprised TO see the doll
she had wanted so much. Their
Christmas tree had never looked so
lovely nor had she known how
good molasseS candy was till them.
She was very happy TO think of the
three little children in France who

mas, Frank an American soldier, in
France, was expecting few pres

Two long days passed and Frank
was still thinking of his folks and
especially of his little brother Ted.
He wondered if his little brother
had forgotten him.
1t was growing dark and a mid
dle-aged man came toward him car
Iying a large package which he
gave to Frank. After the man had
gone he opened the bundle. In it
were many presents, among which
were a suit marked From Mother"
pair of shoes marked From Faith
er." and many others from various
friends. Away down in the bottom
of the bundle was a small package
marked From your Little Ted" in
it was pair of mittens, which he
needed badly. He said, eff the nit
tens aren't as expensive as the suit
and shoes, appreciate them more,
because / had a good suit and a
good pair of shoes but had no nit
tens and also because they are from

PEACE

My soul, there is a country
Far beyond the stars,
Where stands a winged sentry
All skillful in. the wars.
There above noise and danger,
Sweet Peace sits crowned witt
smiles,
And one born in manger
Commands the beauteous files.
He is thy gracious Friend,
And 0 my soul awake!
Did in pure love descend,
To die here for thy sake.
If thou canst get but thither,
There grows the flower of peace
The Rose that cannot wither
Thy fortress, and thy ease.
Leave then thy foolish ranges;
For none can thee secure,
But one, who never changes,
Thy God, thy life, thy cure.
