OKLAHOMA'S WAR CHEST.

INCREASED yields OF farms and mines and oil wells
supplemented by enhanced values cause Oklahoma to
assume orcefu financial position at time when the gov
ernhent calls for funds prosecute the war Oklahoma
war chest is bulgng it will be overflowed long before
Father Time rings down the curtain at the end OF l9l|
This state has been asked subscribe for Liberty bonds
in the amount of $lS00OO tmid citizen propounded
the question OF Oklahomas ability to absorb that amount
Why we could have taken that much year ago and
Oklahoma proposes to tap Mother Earth for double
earning this year.
Bankers OF this state held conference in Oklahoma
City few days ago 1t had been pointed out by The
Times that farmer could have boueh, 500 Liberty bond
year ago with 100 bushels OF wheat while today he can
buy similar bond with about forty bushels The bankers
looked deeper into the subject and some OF the announce
ments Of Okahoma productive capacity this year indicate
that state absorb the Sl50O0OO allotment OF Lib
ery bonds and have remaining to subscribe to
other Liberty bond issues which may be Offered to the
public
For instance Oklahoma sold something like SlOOWoO0)
worth of oil last year This year the oil more THAI
likely to sell their output for 2OOOOOOO So the oil pro-
ducers alone could digest several Liberty bond issues OF the
size expected to be handled in OkahoVa
The five Oklahoma crops OF wheat corn kafir, cotton
and broomcon promise to yield abundany and may sell
for Sl75O0O0OO more than the crops of 1916.
Since more of products used outside ef the state
than within its borders is easy that Oklahoma Is
10 have many millions of dollars in Of any prio
year All OF which will enable the people OF this state
including the very small investors to respond in such man
ner that share OF the Liberty bond issue should be
oversubscribed many times.
But let no person with $50 in cash larger amount
aiter in this crisis Let show TO the nation and the
hostile forces the that Oklahoma not only has
mighty war chest but that the chest is at the service o
our country II subscribe several times the amount
expected from this new state such action will strike terror
to our enemies will indicate that financial
are offered to the nation and show that have the
pacity to subscribe again and again to any fund which
may be needed to drive auocraoy from the face Of the car,
