FIFTEEN POUND BOXES
TO BE SENT SOLDIERS
Congressman T. A. Chandler
Obtains Special Dispensa-
tion for Tulsa.

Notwithstanding the fact that the
postoffice department is spreading
broadcast notices to the effect that
Christmas packages containing more
than seven pounds in weight would
not be accepted by the French gov
ernment for delivery to the United
States expeditionary forces in France.
the boxes recently ordered by Tulsa
to be used in remembering the Tulsa
soldiers at the front will not be dis
carded.
Thru the efforts of Congressman r.
A. Chandler Tulsans may utilize their
15-pound boxes. Bruce Cox of Tulsa
communicated with Congressman
Chandler explaining the Tulsa situa-
ton and asking if something could not
be done preventing these boxes being
discarded. Chandler communicated
with the postmaster general with the
result that Tulsa's representation in
France will receive eight pounds more
this Christmas than other soldiers.
Subjoined is the telegram from the
postmaster-gen department:

FARMERS WANT AUTOMOBILE
Large Part Of Proceeds From Cotton
Crop to Go for Pleasure Cars.

Special to The World
RINGLING, okla, Oct. 30-Unless
some influence stronger than that ex-
erted by a farmer of the ClayroCi
community over his son is put to work
in southern Oklahoma much of the
money made by farmers from cotton
this year will be squandered in auto
mobiles. The young man Of Claypool
had third interest in a cotton crop
that will net him about $1,000. His
uppermost thot is to invest a large
'slice Of that in motor car.
The young man, the father says, has
no earthly use for a car other than
to satisfy his demand for pleasure
that may be obtained in that way. He
hasn't considered investing the money
in land or live stock or interest bear
ing securities. "He simply wants a
car" the elder man says, ''and l guess
he'll buy it."
The young man represents a large
contingent of men of that mind in this
part OF the state. Motor car dealers
are looking for the best business in
their history. THE farmers are as
crazy mad as anybody else over cars"
this farmer says. II know of men
in this community who are out of
debt for the first time in ten years
who will put big part of their Saw
ingS in automobiles"

MARSHAL WOUNDS TEACHER
Driver of Auto Makes Mistake of Try
ing to Escape From the Claw"

Special to The World.
RlNGLlNG, Okla, Oct 30.-Miss

Sugden, was wounded in the leg by
a bullet from the revolver Of Deputy
United States Marshal John Hart,
near Waurika, while Hart was on an
expeditonary search for motor cars
bearing liquor from Texas into Okla
homa. The wound Is said not to be
serious
The young woman and her escort
were driving on the road frequeneted
by cars operating between the oil
fields and Wichita Falls. 1t was dark,
and Hart ordered the driver TO halt.
Instead of obeying, he shot more gas
into the motor and sped away. Hart
at the same time was keeping watch
on another car. When he was at lib
erty he gave chase and followed the
other car bearing the girl and the
young man nearly to Sugden There
1t eluded him and turned back toward
Waurika. When next he encountered
II. II was stopped by roadside. Fear
ing open opposition to his capture.

Taking the bad with the good, taking the
good with the bad,
Clinging TO faith in our sorrow, living the
days that are glad.
Blindly we follow the pathways mapped out
for all mortas 10 tread
This is the battle called living and nobody
knows what's ahead
The goal OF our strife isn't told us, we know
not what waits at the end,
Nor the length OF the journey we're making
nor how many years We shall spend
As soldiers who 40 into battle aren't told OF
its purpose or plan
So We come TO this world ander orders 10
take up the labors Of man.
We are here, and it's not OF our choosing
nor the ultimate goal may we choose,
We shall learn from the Master who sent US
the final result OF life's cruise;
But we have one choice that's unhampered
We are servants and yet we are free
We may choose from lifes good and its evil
we may say what the soul Is TO be.
II Ian I for us to determine how long We shall
live, but how well;
The purpose OF life and its struggly is some
thing no mortal can tell
We can choose not our coming or passing
that summons the Master must give
But each, TO his fancy or thinking, may pick
out the way he shah live.

SHRINERS FARE FORTH
TO BLACKWELL "SH0W''
Two Hundred Masons and
Their Ladies Leave Tulsa
in Special Train.

Two hundred Shriners and their la
dies Jared forth last night bound for
Blackwell. where an all-day session
of the Halloween celebration will be
staged for the entertainment of lodge
men from all over the state. Advance
notices did not say whether a prize
would be given for the largest delega-
tion present but should such be the
case. Tulsa will without doubt fare
forth from the scene of the celebra-
ticn with the prize in captivity.
1t required n special train of seven
Pullman cars to transport the Tulsa
representation to the scene of the Hal
loween festivities. The schedule of
the local Masons embodied an earlv-
morning stop at Ponca City, where
breakfast was prepared by the ladies'
of the Kay county metropolis shrine.
Large delegations are expected from
Oklahoma City, Wichita and many
other Oklahoma and Kansas towns.

PATIENCE HAS AN END.

Tulsa is apprehensive that other
acts of wanton destruction will occur,
either I'm the city or at the big indus
trial plants. The l. w. w, German
bought and German controlled, seems
bent upon following the inclination Of
its warped mind, sparing neither life
nor property.
II is truly unfortunate that any sec
tion OF the country should have the
visitation of a class that knows not
what II wants and that knows no
happiness except the fiendish glee in
the maniac who is obsessed only with
the idea to slay and destroy.
The suggestion OF a citizen OF Tulsa,
veteran Of the Civil war, and a man
whose bravery has been tested on a
dozen battlefields, contains note Of
warning to the helpers of the Hun.
81 will be one of n committee of
citizens who will knot the rope and
pull 1t over the nearest tree, when one
OF the disreputable wretches is found"
he said. Years ago the same course
was pursued in regard to horse
thieves. why should any discrimina-
ton be made between n horse thief
and one of these cowardly vandals p"
Tulsa will not tolerate any untoward
acts, any more than the brave citizens
OF Hughes. Seminole and Pototoc
counties tolerated the half-hearted re-
bellion there in August. Besides the
danger of allowing the rabid, skulking
terrorists to be at large, the citizen
ship suffers in the estimation OF tho
world. Tulsa is too proud Of her good
name to stop at any measures which
will end the trouble.
This, then TO the assassins:
Your worthless lives will be made
more wretched at any attempt to in
augurate the reign of terror you have
contemplated. Your German begot-
ten inspirations from your Goldman
and your Haywood will be your death
warrant, Il you attempt to carry them
out. Your leaders got the German
gold. while you got nothing, but the
price of folly will be prison or death.
There is no tribunal to which you
can appeal for clemency: there is no
official but will sustain the true clti-
2enship in keeping civilization upper
most and In upholding the nation 4.
Its work to be done.

Is probable there will be no deviation
from the program that has gone to
make the annual event an unquali-
fled success. Tulsa. however. may eX-
perience a tame evening. At least,
this was the impression gained from
a conversation with heads of the po-
lice department relative to the leeway
that would be granted the youth Of
Tulsa tonight
But spry youth of this city will do
well 10 watch its step. Behind every
brightly glowing pumpkin may lurk
the shaggy whskers of bomb throw
ing anarchist Tick -tacking parties
will find themselves in something of a
predicament II they fare forth with
their sleep disturbers and are appre-
hended by a policement.
Monday mornings explosion has
stirred the entire city and as pre-
cautionary move the police have been
instructed to scour the entire city
thruout the night and to arrest any
person found wandering about thru
the residence district and who are un-
able to supply satisfactory account
of themselves. However. Tulsa is ex-
pected to celebrate Halloween in a
manner befitting the occasion. Nari-
Gus dances are to be staged by many
clubs. Masquerade balls are to be
given in profusion, which after all will
well make up for the absence OF howl
ing youth parading the streets.
