SOLDIERS IN FRANCE
 TOBACCO FUND

The boys down at the o. K. barber shop are doing their "bit" in the cam paign to keep the American soldiers in France supplied with American tobacco. Most of the barbers in tho o. K. use tobacco. and they are of the 'other fellow" to imagine his plight in a trench without tobacco. And realizing, they help. The si0 turned in last night was the third subscription list the barbers raiseN. the total being in excess of $22.
 Contributors to the fund Of SiJ are J. A. Maxwell, c. c. Boyer, C. J. Hoops, John Dellmon. N. A. Ander- son, T. H. Jenkins and M. Hendricks $1 each; H. N. Henderson 75c, T. A. Maxwell, T. w. Mitchell, w. B. Hughes and J. M. Wootten 50c each, Dr. Blankenship 25c.
 Many men are willing to "chip in' and help buy tobacco for tae boys lover there" They only need to be reminded. If more would do as the o. K. men are doing, there'd be no danger of the American soldiers in France being compelled to suffer an unsatisfiad craving for American tob- bacco.

c. G. Logan Killed-Bodies of Wife and Child Found in Burnt Home
 Near MuskOgee, Okla.

Muskogee, Okla., Dec. 29-The bod ies of c. G. Logan, his wife and four year-old daughter were found tonight in the ruins of their home near Me Lain, 12 miles south of Muskogae. The bodies of Mrs. Logan and the child were burned to a crisp, but ex- animation of Logan's body showed his head had been crushed with a blunt instrument. The position of the body indicated he died after a struggle. Deputy sheriffs from Muskogee took bloodhounds to McLain, and it is re- ported that they have picked up trails which may lead to arrests. Logan was a well-to-do farmer, and was highly respected, according to officers, who found no motive for the murders

COMPLETE PLANS FOR
 DELIVERY OF NITRATE
American Farmers Will Soon Be Able
 to Get Chilean Fertilizer From Government.

Washington, Dec. 29.-Deliveries of upwards of 100000 tons of Chilean ni- trate, purchased through the war in- dustries board under the food control act for sale to American farmers at cost. probably will begin in January. Secretary Houston said today that the board arranged some time ago for the purchase, but until recently it had not been able to obtain transportation Ships now have been secured for the delivery at American ports during January of 18,000 tons, and assurance has been given that tonnage to bring in the remainder soon will be availa- ble. While the price has not been def initely set, the secretary said it will probably approximate $75 on board cars at the seaboard.
 All sales will be for cash, and far mers will have to pay rail freight charges, the state fertilizer tax fee and any other local charges. The De- partment of Agriculture is now ar ranging for the distribution of the ni- trate, which will be sold only to far
 mers for their own use in the coming season, and generally not in excess of the amounts used by them in preced- i ing years.

ONLY 4o PER CENT CITY REG|S1RANTS
 RETURN BLANKS
More Than Half of Question .naires Not Yet Sent Back
 to Local Board.

, ..gs s
 Only forty per cent of the question: naires sent out by Board No. ] had been returned filled out up 70 yester- day afternoon, according to informa- ton given out at the office of the board This means that over half of tho rcgistrants in the city are delay ing the return of their papers. Such a delay not only makes the work of the advisory and exemption boards much more hurdensome, but it is also dangerous for the registrants them- selves, as heavy penalties are pro- vided by law for those who delay in getting their papers back.
 Owing to the sudden cold snap the advisory board had light day yes terday, but because of the large num- Der of questionnaires unreturned the members expect mex, week to be the busiest since they began work. The size of the daily teams has been tn- creased and additional volunteers are still being asked for to aid in hand- ling the expected rush.

 Sharpe Blames Defense Council.
 In concluding histestimony regard ing clothing and other army supplies, General Sharpe placed responsibility for delays in securing wool for army clothing on the Council of National Defense. No large purchases were made until September, after prices had risen greatly, he said. Senator Weeks told the committee that he was reliably informed that a loss of $150,- 000,000 to the government resulted.
 Replying to testimony yesterday of commanders of Camp Bowie, Texas, and Camp Doniphan, Oklahoma. that overcrowding of tents and lack of win ter clothing caused many deaths in re- cent epidemics.

 Washington, Dec. 29.--Dcfinite steps toward national unifcation of railroads and Improvements of con- gested conditions were taken by Director General McAdoo in the ap- pointment of temporary staff ana the issuing of his first formal order, directing absolute pooling of all traf- fife, common utilization of terminals. rolling stock and other facilities, hauling of frtight by tne shortest routes, and retention of all present of ficers and employees.

 Brot'lcrbOOds Defer Demands.
 While the director general was con ferring today with railroad leads, in- terstate commerce commissioners and members of congress. and planning immediate action, it became known that the demands of the fourtrailroad brotherhoods for forty per cent wage increases had been denied by the railroads, and that consequently the labor men had decided to post pone for probably 60 days presen- tation of their case to tue severn ment.
