getting back to our first premise is positively treason.
 Not only is it not patriotic, but it may be said to be even idiotic, to be pessimistic over the business prospect when seven billion dollars are to be put in circulation, practically all in this country.
 Quoting from an editorial that ap- peared in the Philadelphia North American, extracts of which are given elsewhere in this issue: Tt was the expenditure of the first fifty million dollars on materials for the allies that started the business of the country booming; when it was realized that they would need one billion dollars worth of our products, the flow of prosperity became a torrent; the force of that is still felt, and now it is to be multiplied seven times.'
 Patriotism Abounds Patriotism is still a predominatine trait of all true Americans, and there are more of the latter today than ever before We expect it in individuals but it is more surprising in the cor porations, large and small, which have been showing themselves far iron

Secretary Lane is convinced that if the United States statutes will permit the investment of Barnetts funds in Liberty bonds many hundreds of thousands of dol lars probably will be invested simi- larly by other Indians in the various reservations.
 The story of Barnett and his rise to wealth and national prominence is romantic one. The son of a Greek chief, Barnett lived the life of a mo- mad of the plains When Iidian Ter rf"rv became Oklahoma Barnett was arbitrarily allotted a parcel of land Tn the district north of Tulsa, which later was to become the famous Cush- ing oil fields. In 1905 oil was dis covered near Barnett's land. Eastern capitalists applied to the department or the interior for a long term lease Of Barnett's allotment which, it was discovered, fairly eXuded rich oil. The lease was executed and by its terms Barnett has received part of the pro- ceeds of the sale of oil from the wells on his property ever since, the money being deposited in national banks of Oklahoma to his credit.
 Barnett displayed no interest at the official announcement that the land he had spurned as useless and upon which he steadily refused to abide had become enormously valuable and promised to make him a multi-ml- lionaire. He declined from time to time to accept a greater portion of his income than was required to supply his humble needs. In signing receipts therefor he made his mark, for he was unable to read or write He sell dom spent more than $50 a month for provisions, tobacco and other supplies, and what was left he distributed cheerfully among the less fortunate Indians of his tribe. A cabin was con- structed for him, but he persisted in sleeping upon the porch, winter and summer, rather than live within it's walls. Soon after his sudden rise to wealth it became evident that Barnett was incapable of attending to his if nancia1 affairs and the probate court declared him an incompetent and ap pointed a guardian.
 Reports to Secretary Lane May 1 showed that Barnett has $755,S9S.06

 AMERICAN ARMY FIELD KITCHENS

.for the production of his new steam driven pleasure car, to be manufac- tured by the Doble Detroit Steam
 Motors company, MT Doble felt that
 he would like to work on some of our new military problems, having an idea
 that he might be able to turn his in-
 ventive engineering talents to the pro-
 fit of the government. He turned to
 the prosaic, but vital, problem of feed
 ing an army, rather than to the more
 romantic and appealing submarine
 puzzle, because of the somewhat primi- tive and limited nature of the cooking equipment now in use for army field work
 The field ranges now used by the army consist of a sheet iron boiling plate set up over a small trench and
 on this the kettles are placed. At the end of march the trenches must be
 dug, the ranges set up and the tired soldiers are obliged to rustic for wood which is used for fuel. With this i equipment no other kind of fuel is practical.

Otherwise put, the plain facts are that thinking hard times makes them, and confidence in the approach of good times or the continuance of their ex- istence, just as surely brings or holds them. Fear that business is going to
 suffer when all the signs are to the
 contrary, is rank pessimism, and hence

Hearing on Amsbaugh Road.

The route to be followed by the
Amsbaugh road in the Gull Harbor
district. recently petitioned for,
whether 1t should follow the old
Ames road or should be constructed
entirely new through district
which has lately been settled up,
formed the chief point of contention
at the hearing on the petition. con-
Quoted by the county commissioners
last Monday. The Ames road route,
1t was said. would be cheaper, but
the advocates of the other route de-
clared it would serve more people
and therefore would be better, even
though small bridge had to be
built and several fills made. The
commissioners took the matter under
advisement.

mas Day The first figure is for the
whole United States, the second is
the number fixed by c. A. Rose,
chairman of the local campaign COM
mittee, as Tnurston county's desired
membership.
1t means that here in this county
there will have to be almost twice as
many members of the Red Cross
when the holiday drive" is ended,
as there are now. 1t means that all
present members will have to renew,
as it is expected they will, and nearly
as many more be enrolled. But the
committee doesn't believe it is an i'm
possibility, by any means, for the
estimate of the census department
upon which the county's draft quota
was based fixes its population at
1912.
The campaign committee will open
headquarters the latter part of this
week in the room adjoining the head
quarters of the local chapter, on
Main street near Sixth. Miss Helen
Cowles will be in charge of the Office
and. with a corps of assistants, will
keep is open every day and evening
until the drive is ended.

next week. local high school girls
will offer memberships for sale, in
attractive booths erected at different
places throughout the business Sec
ton. while memberships will also be
on sale at the drug stores, depart
ment stores and cigar stores and a
number of stores in the various COM
munities of the county.
