TULS.AS NEXT DUTY.

With the nation on the brink
of war Tulsa has another duty to
face. Many Tulsa boys Will be
called to the colors-Tulsa faces
the patriotic task Of providing Il
place in which their equipment
can be gathered An armory is
needed. Under usual circum-
stances such a building would
cost $4,000 to 100000, but
Tulsa can provide an ideal struc-
ture for $4,000 or perhaps less.
This can be accomplished by
making tie buildings at the
free fairgrounds permanent by
flooring, siding and properly
supporting them. The fair
grounds and buildings are the
property Of the people. They are
under the management of pub
! lic-splrited citizens who, no
doubt, would gladly allow the
use of the buildings for such a
patriotic purpose. Under their
, present conditions they are not
suitable for such use. Those
Tulsaus who cannot be on the
front line of defense can do their
part by helping to make a proper
home for the assembly of the
I troops OF eastern oklahoma.
\ Now is the time to act.
