An Old One-Revised

I'm view of the Empirical situation these past few
weeks-featuring Byron and Owens)
The game that day from round to round had been n
scroppy fight;
The home club and the risors had bGttled close to

The vsitors had tailed in the fourteenth round at last
And ,che the chance for victory seemed pretty nearly
past,
The frenzied fans in chorus nth the oid-tme woolly
roar,
Rose up and clamorcd madly for at least the ieing
The first tco famed the breeses, but the last guy
caught good
He cufed it on the trademark and IL bounded of the
Oood;
The Bugs stood up and bellowed he slid into the
plate,
And hailed the doughty hero who had blocked their
bitter fate;
The umpire paused moment as he looked around in
doubt,
And then, in shaking quaking roce, exclaimed, "The
runners out"
That night his rife a,coited him. quite panied at his
delay,
Until she got little note Which these sad words did
say:

"Honey dear listen here I'm afraid to go home from

Epery day the papers say "here's umpire slugged

SO here SIT in the clubhouse alone railing aloud in
the dark:
"There's no place Ike home, street. home,
But I'm afraid to 90 home from the park"

OKLAHOMA CITY. oct. l9.-Ef-
feet of all opinion of Attorney Gen
eral Freezing today will be investment
Of hundreds Of thousands Of dollars
of public money in Liberty bonds. He
ruled that cites whose charters at
thorized investing sinking funds In
United States bonds, or Independent.
school districts. could invest sinking
fund money in the Liberty bonds
without regard as to when the bonus
matured. An Independent schoo, ois-
trlct is city of the first-class or a
school district maintaining a four
year school and which has been ac-
credited by the university.
Only those cities whose charters
specifically provide for investing sink
ing funds in bonds may participa,..
The counties cannot invest county
funds in the bonds nor can the oro'-
nary school district.
1t had already been held that tho
state could invest the permanent
school fund, which also includes the
Homer ownership fund, n portion or
the latter having already been or
dcred invested. The state may from
this source alone take half a million
dollars worth of the bonds. II is be-
lieved that with such resource
opened up there will be no delay In
Oklahoma subscribing it's full share
OF the bonds before the time limit ex
pires on October 81.
Attorney General Freezing gave the
matter a thoro investigation and while
there Is no precedent by which to be
guided ne believes that such sinking
funds may be invested in the bonds

Here Today Under Auspices
Ministerial Alliance.

A mass meeting to be held in the
building for the Syrian and Armenian
relief tonight will be addressed by
Or. Charles +. Aked "a speaker OF ma
tional reputation. So urgent is the
need of relief for these Syrian and
Armenian sufferers that Doctor Aked
now breaches independently of any
special charge and has just finished
course of lectures in which he spent
an entire month touring the Pacific
coast telling the story of the bitter
need in the Bible lands today.
Doctor Aked, who is brought here
under the auspices of the Ministerial
alliance. was for IL years pastor of
the Pembroke chapel i'm Liverpool and
afterwards answered a call at the New
York Baptist church. where for his
brilliance of thot and eloquent deliv-
cry he made "a name for himself in
the pulpit. He was also n member OF
the Ford peace party and after rsturn-
ing took up lecturing for various hu-
manitarian movements.
This relief association which Doctor
Aked now represents has sent out
much literature over the country.
which pictures and describes the suf
fering this Christian nation has un-
dergone since the devastations brought
on by the great war. "Over half
million lives of little children" says
Doctor Aked. depend upon the char
ity of this United States"
He, being thoroly conversant with
the conditions. and being forceful
speaker, will come to plead with Tulsa
to help the youth of this fast perish
