The exact status of construction
activities at Fort Sill is told in an
official government bulletin published
under the direction of George Creel,
chairman of the committee on public
information. 1t Is rs follows:
Reports of the progress of construc-

the quartermaster department, and
the following facts are given out:
The adequate provision of a water
supply Is the most vital point to be
considered In putting camp in con-
dition to receive troops. About nine
teen miles of piping is required for
each camp, and special endeavors are
being made to secure sufficient iron
and wood pipe CT the sizes needed.
The work at each site includes pro-
viding railroad sidings, roads, build

FOOD TASTES GOOD, WORK is
PLEASURE; LIFE 0. X. SINCE
E.A. VERNON HAS TAKEN 0RGAT0NE

Mr.. f. A. Vernon, the well-known
hotel keeper of Tulsa at 217 East Third
street, Tulsa, at one time suffered
with stomach trouble and biliousness
and he is especially grateful to Orga-
tone because Orgatone, he says, gave
him the relief he sought in vain from
other sources.
'I suffered with stomach trouble
and bilousness for over a year" Mr..
Vernon stated to the Orgatone repre-
sentative. II had severe pains IN my
stomach caused BY the gas that was
continually forming there. especially
after eating this would settle In my
right side and put me In misery for
hours at a time. My nerves were un-
strung and my appetite was failing.
"well, I tried several things looking
for relief but outside Of Temporary

Alkali Makes Soap
Bad For Washing Hair

Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali, which is very
injurious as 1t dries the scalp and
makes the hair brittle.
The best thing to use is just plain
mulsfied cocoanur oil. for this is pure
and entirely greaseless. It's very cheap
and beats the most expensive soaps or
anything else all to pieces. You can
get this at any drug store, and few
ounces will last the whole family for
months.
Simply moisten the hair with water
and rub 1t in. about teaspoonful is
all that is required. 1t makes an
abundance of rich. creamy lather,
cleanses thoroughly. and rinses out
easily. The hair dries quickly and

the necessity of my suggestion when
you examine the whole situation
thoroly. The whole country must line
up to make the American eagle su-
preme. The whole country Is inter-
ested In the success of the program.
The army is interested. too, especially
in training pilots. The manufacturers
are interested in producing aeroplanes.
Public opinion must help carry thru
these measures. 1t must allow no de-
lay and be impatient to see the resuits
obtained. Every man realizes, almost,
that the easiest way and the cheapest
way, both in lives and money. to win
this war is to build on overwhelming
number of aeroplanes. And France
and the other allies know that. and
they are waiting for the leadership
of America in this its own special
field"

of the allies, whose armies nave pech
fighting for three years.
'To resume all that has been SAID
the primordial importance OF the aVl-
alton in modern battles is no longer
questioned by anyone. The allies ac-
auired and have kept the supremacy
Of the air, but they can not de'eiop
their aviation to any further point
The arrival next spring OF corps
composed OF five thousand American
ayiators would assure the absolute
supremacy of the allied aviation; 1t
would greatly hasten the final victory,
and 1t would save millions of dollars
and thousands of lives.
United States Equal TO Task.
"The United states can make this
great industrial effort and can equip
this corps Of aviators In order to do
this 5000 planes and 10000 motors
must be built before April l, 1918,
and $4,000 planes and $4,000 motors
before December 81, 1918"
Captain de In Grange was asked
how. In his judgment. this result
should be brought about.
FIRST" he said, "a large industrial
commission should be sent to France.
Second, large number OF skilled
workmen should be recruited.
Third, the factories must work dur
ing the night as well as the day.
Fourth the manufacturers mus,
increase the number of their ma
chimes.
Fifth American factories must be
created in France"
He said that the effort to accom-
plsh all these things is possible and
that ''if the Americans set out to do It,.
they will do It."
Must Allow No Delay.

and South America, may turn thee"
eyes eastward to the country Of the
Soyotes This is an almost unknown
territory in Asia in the upper valley
Of the YeHisei river, lvirg partly l.
China and partly in Siberia. In July.
1914, a Norwegian expedition, led by
Mr. Orjan Olsen, undertook the ex-
ploration Of this region. 1t comprises
an extent of more than $50, 900 squarp
kilometers, inhabited by some fifteen
or twenty thousand Soyotes These
are individuals belonging to the Finno-
Ugrian race, l. e., to the same race as
the Firms, the Lapps, the Samoyeds,
and Ostiaks, though residing thous-
ands Of miles distant from these They
live mainly on raising cattle or rein~
deer. The expedition referred to
above has recently returned to Europe
and published an account Of it's eX-
plorations, resume of which is given
by Mr.. Rabot in the Bulletin de la
Societe de Geographic. It is stated
that the Soyote country has remarka-

Grade Root Crops on Timber Farms

Grade Root Crops on Timber Farms,
To meet the feed situation in north
ern Minnesota, NJ. J. Thompson, super
intendent of the Northwest Expert
ment Station at Duluth, suggests the
grading of rutabagas, the feeding of
the tops and poor grades to stock, and
the marketing of the choicer grades,
if possible, not until late in the win
ter when the market usually advances.
This suggestion is made in answer
to the question especially pertinent
this year whether to feed roots or
grain.
One pound of grain is usually re-
garded as equivalent to from four to
nine pounds Of roots. This COMPARE
son, however, Mr.. Thompson says,
ignores the succulence of the roots So
essential to the health and productiv.
ity of animals Likewise, in the north
ern Minnesota situation, it leaves out
Of consideration the cost of exchange.
That is, Of hauling the roots to the
market and hauling the grain back.
Moreover, the yield Of rutabagas last
fall ranged from two to four tons.
! Therefore, even with rutabagas at
from ST to $25 a ton, Mr.. Thompson
feels that the plan should be con-
sidered.
AS a general result Of the years
work at the Northwest Station, Mr.
Thompson recommends a good acreage
of hay and roots annually on ever!
timber land farm.

MARKET IS FIR MER
Local Spud Prices Advance the First
of the Week-Receipts Are
Extremely Light,
Chicago and Eastern IS Are
Stronger-Notes of to
Growers and Sh.r

The local potato market has be-
come more firm during the last few
days, and farmers are again hauling
tubers to market. The receipts have
not been what might be termed heavy,
due no doubt to the miserable condi-
ton of the roads. Prices advanced
the first of the week, and from S1.15
to $1.25 is being paid for eating stock.
Triumphs are bringing from $1.4O to
S1.45. The feeling on the local mar
ket is much better, with prices now
higher than for several weeks. If
road conditions improve brisk move,
ment is expected.
The Chicago potato market followed
the firmer tone that developed last
week by additional strength gained
early this week, which advanced the
price levels on offerings from all Sec
tons.
The demand has been good, but not
active. Operators anticipate an i'm
proved inquiry the coming week be-
cause of the interest shown in the sit
uation the past few days in spite Of
, the fact that it was in the midst of
j the holidays and the bulk Of attention
was naturally directed to holiday
lines. Local trade has been fair and
the call coming from the outside has
shown some Improvement
The small volume Of arrivals was
the principal factor in the strength
which developed. The weather
throughout producing sections has
been very severe the past two weeks
which resulted in the cessation Of eff,
forts to load out stocks This was
especially true in Michigan, Wiscon>
sin, Minnesota and the Dakotas, where
the temperature ranged lower than in
any December for number Of years
Because of this condition which pre-,
vailed the arrivals from those states
were limited last week.
Conditions are looking up in thc
east also, and the strongest potato
market that New York has had pre-
vailed last week. And the same was
true all over the east, including the
shipping sections.
Up in Maine, in Aroostook county
the shippers were paying the farmers
81 per 165-pound barrel but they were
getting very little stock, as most of
the potatoes shipped from there were
coming out of the warehouses. The
shippers were quoting $1.75 @ $3.50
per bushel delivered at Harlem river
but stock was not easy to get at the
inside figure. Maine Central Railroad
shippers were quoting the same prices
delivered in New York and what few
potatoes they were getting from the
farmers were costing them from 81. As

In New York state there was very

are selling in the yards in New York
