Machinery or Flesh.

THAT is one place where they have
gone little too far" remarked some
one on reading the request of the
Council of National Defense that the
Ese Of gasoline for pleasure riding be
discontinued. That person didn't
think.
Despite the enormous production
America will face a shortage of gaso-
line and crude oil products for the use
of our thousands OF airplanes, battle
ships, torpedo boats, destroyers etc.
If we are to compete with our enemies
1t is necessary that these war ma
chimes be efficient in the highest de-
gree.
And there Is another angle. The
more Of the struggle that can be borne
by iron and steel, the less must be
borne by the flesh of American boys.
Conservation Of gasoline Is necessary
to the use of machines OF war. When
you burn a barrel of gasoline for your
own selfish pleasure you are thrust
Ing the lads of your own community
Just that much closer to the mouths
Of Prussian cannon.
He Burns Money.
The man who burns his straw stack
is guilty of two offenses. In the first
place he destroys that which will help
win the war, that is, forage for farm
stock; and in the second place he de-
pr1ves himself of source of profit.
Objects of Food Control.
81. Full inquiry into available
stocks of food.
"2. Inquiry into actual costs and
practices OF producing and distrib-
uting.
"3. Prevention Of boarding of and
speculation in foodstuffs.
-. Requisition of food supplies and
equipment for handling them when
necessary
"5. Prohibition of wasteful uses of
od."-Herbert Hoover

homa who are agitating against the
draft law, against conservation Of
food, against every movement of the
government that has for Its object the
bringing of the war to a victorious
close at cost of the fewest possible
number of lives. Some go far enough
that they can be placed in prison.
Others are more guarded in their
but they are just as dan
gerous.
A number OF reports have come to
the Oklahoma state council OF de-
fense concerning such agitators
When sworn evidence has been sub
mitted II has ben turned over to the
federal authorities. We are request
ing that patriotic citizens send in re-
ports OF any such agitators of whom

whose very lives depend upon their
having the undivided support of the
nation.
Why We're In the War.
"No treaty and no agreement with
the Prussian military government or
with the house of Hohenzollern Is
worth. or ever will be worth, the
paper 1t is written on except where
those who have the pledge have also
the military power to compel obedi-
ence to the promise. Their treaties

The low yield of our farms at the
present time is sad commentary on
the efforts of the past two or three
decades for increased efficiency on
the American farm. The average
States is about fourteen bushels and n
fra elton. while in Great Britain and
Germany II is over thirty bushels The
showing as regards oats. barley and
potatoes is quite as bad Now, when
you consider that the blowing, cul-
tivating and harvesting OF an acre

costs nearly as much as that OF an
acre producing thirty bushels. you get
a glimpse Of the appalling waste at
