RINGLING, Okla. Nov. 10. - SOL
diers at Camp Doniphan want heavier
and more entertaining reading than
they get in letters from foolish girls.
This is the message brought from the
camp by j. B. Monical, superintend-
ent of schools, who, with Mrs. Moni-
cal, visited a nephew there recently.
The nephew pointed to long row Of
letters along the tent wall.
Probably not third Of these will
be read" he said. "There is nothing
of interest in them The boys get
them by the bushel- basketful every
day and hundreds of them are de-
stroyed unopened. If foolish girls
only knew that we don't want that
sort of literature, am sure they
would join the thinking women of
America and send us good books and
good magazines and the daily news
papers that contain news from home"
Mr. Monical got conception Of the
value of the Y. M. G. A. work in mill
tary camps, and upon returning home
accepted the Craftsmanship of local
committee of the Y. NJ. G. A. organi-
zation, and he and his committee will
inaugurate a campaign here to raise
the towns pro rata share of funds for
the organization. He announces that
the Ringing school has purchased a
$50 Liberty loan bond which Wau-
rika man was willing to release.

PROFlT.SHARING PLAN IS
GRAND SUCCESS ON FARM
Pontotoc County Man Finds Way 10
Make Agriculture Attract
I've to Boys.
Special to Tho World.


Special to The World
ADA, okla, Nov. 10.-That the
agricultural writers and speakers are
mostly wrong about the best ways of
interesting the boys on the farm and
keeping them on the farm Is the opiu-
ion OF w. II. Riddle, one of the sue
cessful farmers of Pontotoc county
Mr.. Riddle has four boys, and two OF
them have decided definitely to be-
come farmers and stock-raisers and
are getting ready to attend the Agri-
cultural and Mechanical college. They
were given n. chance to 20 into any
profession or business world, as they
have been given every educational
advantage.
Mr.. Riddle says most of the agri-
cultural writer's insist that the father
should give the boys something he can
call his own, something he can add to
and gradually grow into a small capt.
talist. This Is the wrong idea. II one
boy Is given something, the others
must be given something. Gradually
petty jealousies arise and the boys
finally get to the place that they want
pay for every days work done.
Common Ownership.
The plan followed by this farmer
| is to own everything in common, every
member of the family having an equal
part in everything. Ever since his
boys have been old enough to write n
check, the bank account has been at
the disposal of every boy. The chill
dren are taught to spend properly and
not waste the savings of the family
They are taught that to spend fool
ishly they are not only spending their
own money, but are spending some
thing that belongs in part to the
others. The privilege has never been
abused.
That a man can make money farm
ing In Oklahoma in spite of bad
drouths and late seasons, this farmer
has proved beyond any doubt. He
came to old Indian Territory 26 years
ago and hired out for S14 n month.
When he married he and Mrs. Riddle
moved out into a little shack on
rented farm. The bed consisted Of n
few goods boxes and rough boards
The young couple went to work and
prosperity finally came to them
After renting about ten years they
bought a small place, paid for It,
bought more land and paid for It.
The farm now consists OF more than
500 acres Of gently rolling and bottom
sandy land
Crops Are Varied.
Every crop that is suitable for
sandy land is grown. Hogs, cattle,
horses, sheep, goats and hogs arc
raised. The registered Holstein COW
is now seen and the dairy herd Is to
be built up rapidly. The old scrub
stuff Is passing away.
The family now has in the cellar
more than seven hundred half-gallons
of fruit and vegetables canned for
winter use. This Is two or three times
as much as the family will need, but
Mr.. Riddle says it Is much better TO
be safe than sorry.

SUCCESS PHENOMENAL
Fame Of the Medicine Spreads Over
Whole Nation-Now Sold From
Coast to Coast.

NEVER before. perhaps. in all his
tory has the demand for pro-
prietary medicine ever approached the
wonderful record that is now being
made by Tanlac. the celebrated medi-
cine which has been accomplishing
such remarkable results in all parts
of the country.
From Coast to Coast and from the
Gulf to the Great Lakes. Tanlac Is
known and hOnOred. Millions have
takehfit and have pronounced it the
greatest medicine ever given to the
people, and the only explanation of
Tanlac's triumph in the medical world
is Tnnlac's true worth. Back of Tan
lac's triumph in the drug stores is
Tanlac's triumph in the homes. 1t is
the peoples medicine and the people
themselves have made Tanlac what
It is.. ~,
No matter where you go, Tanlac is
household word and it is unQues-
tionably the most widely talked-o
medicine in the world today. One per-
son invariably tells another about n
medicine that helps him and in this
way scores or even hundreds may hear
of Tanlac as direct result of one
bottle in a single home.
The first bottle of Tanlnc to reach
the public was sold just n little over
two years ago in the thriving little
city of Lexington. Ky, where 10000
bottles of the medicine were sold in
only a few months. Since that time
there have been sold throughout the
United States something over seven
and quarter million bottles. and n
romance which has no parallel in the
modern business world has begun.
The instant and phenomenal success
which Tanlac won in Lexington has
been duplicated In practically every
large town, small town. village and
hamlet in North America. Hawaii,
Alaska. Cuba. Porto Rico and other
American possessions have clamored
for Tanlac.
Just n few months ago, it was an
nounced in the Atlanta papers that
twenty-five carloads. 265.476 bottles of
Tanlac had been sold through the At
lanta office alone. Since that time.
I 1496. AS bottles have been sold, and
the grand total now stands at over n
million and half, or to be exact.
1,695.204 bottles.
These are actual figures, md the
fact that one hundred and fifty-eight
carloads of Tanlac have been sold and
shipped into the South and West since
the first day of October, 1915, Is n
matter of record and can easily be
verified.
One retail firm alone, the Jacobs
Pharmacy Co. of Atlanta. have sold
the astonishing total of $4,000 bottles
within the past twelve months. What
is true of Atlanta. is also true of prac-
tically every large city of the South
and West. where the sales have been
correspondingly large.
The greatest drug firms of the coun-
try have voluntarily come forward and
stated in plain, cold figures. the rec

= Eleven million male citizens from
twenty-one to thirty years old, inclu-
sive. will be subject to draft by the
president of the United States.
But in order that men under twenty
one and over thirty may serve their
country If they so desire, the measure
provides for the acceptance of volun-
teers over eighteen years and under
forty years.
The gigantic number of men subject
to draft will not all be called to the
colors by any means. The proposed
law gives authority to the president to
draft as many men as he deems nee
essary to I'LL up the regular army. the
National Guard and the conscription
force of 100000 men.
2,oO1 900 Armed Men.
1t is estimated by the war depart.
ment that as result of the authority
2.0o1 900 officers and men will COM
prise the military establishment of the
United States.
Under the new bill agreed to author
ity Is given to I'LL up by draft the reg
ular army and the National Guard to
war strength, and to raise outside this
1.OOO.OOO men. 100000 to come as the
first quota,
The war strength Of the regular
army is about 100000 men. 1t has
now about 135. 900 men and Is short
about $4,000. The National Guard
has a war strength of 625.0O0 men. 1t
has now about 125,OOO and Is short
about 5OO.OOO men.
Therefore. on the first call there can
be taken for war service about 655.OOO
men to fill up gaps in the regular army
and National Guard and In addition
100000 as the first quota Of the con-
script army of 1.OOO,OOO men.
In the first draft 1t Is possible about
1.155OOO men will be taken for active
service. leaving authorization under
the present bill to call out immedi-
'ately 100000 more for another con-
script army.
No Place for Roosevelt.
The action allowing Col. Theodore
Roosevelt to enlist volunteers for for
eign service has been eliminated.
What the colonel will do nov that
his pet project is incapable of realiza-
tion Is question. 1t is generally un-
derstood that President Wilson Is alb
solutely opposed to the idea of vol
unteer orgnnizat ton under command Of
the colonel.
Pay for enlisted men and non
commissioned officers was agreed upon
us follows:
Men now receiving less than S21
per month are increased to S31 per
month; those who received S24 are
increased to $32 men who receive $50,
$36 or $40 are increased SO each; men
who receive S45 are increased to $50.
Army Officers Pleased.
Army officers received notice of the
age limit with pleasure. They had
expected n higher maximum, though
they would rather have had the orig
inal ages oftnineteen to twenty-five.
A new section in the bill authorizes
the president to organize and equip
three machine-gun companies for
each infantry and cavalry brigade
and four machine-gun companies and
an armored motorcar for each in
fantry and cavalry division.
An interesting change Is that the
draft will not be based upon the num-
ber of persons available for serv-
ice," as first proposed, but upon the
population.
