Doing Our Bit

sit all day and knit and knit, And eat corn bread to do my bit, So the soldiers may have plenty to eat, And good warm sox to wear on their feet; And sweaters to keep them warm, The Red Cross provides the yarn. How little we are asked to give, While we at home in comfort live Compared to the youths who sail away, To the blood-soaked battlefield far away, Where they give their lives, if need be, For the sake of their country and liberty Three cheers for the San1mies, brave and true, Let us tend to our knitting and do, do, do! If we do our duty well today, Tomorrow we will receive our pay, When our dear boys come sailing home, From over there across the foam Where they have done their duty well, And sent the Kaiser and his hordes to hell. Where Old Glory has her folds unfurled, Proclaiming liberty for the world; Where the brave allies have fought and won, The battles of liberty against the Hun; All hail that glad and glorious day, When all the world will joyousy say: 'Peace on earth, goodwill to men" For we shall now have peace again.

County Push ia Progressing
in Fine Shape.

The Fourth Liberty loan drive
proper is on In Chickasha today and
from all reports up to noon, the solic-
iting committees were meeting with
good success, all their work being in
dicative that Chickasha will go over
the top with her quota Of 100000
providing the response of the citizens
continues as good as il was this
morning
While the intensive campaign did
not start until this morning, subscrip-
tions have been filtering in since
Saturday. The Rock Island shopmen
were reported as the first to go
over with a record of 100 per cent.
However, later reports indicate that
at that, it was horse race between
the shopmen and the other depart
ments Of the Rock Island. The clerks
water and bridge service employees,
switchmen, yardmen, platform work
ers, engineers, siremen and yardmas-
fr's force rang the 100 per cent
pure bell early Saturday, according
to the records, making every employe
of the Rock Island here, an owner of
a bond from the Fourth Loan drive.
Among the number were 90 negroes
who are employed as platform labor
ers All bought bonds.
Firms Go over.
Officials of the drive think that
when the records are complete, it
will be seen that number of Chick
asha business houses went unanimous
on bond purchases before the inten-
sive drive was launched this morn
ing. To date, however the Oklaho-
ma National bank is the first bust
ness, outside of the Rock Island, to
be reported where every employe pur'
chased bonds before the drive was
opened officially.

the policy of the company and that
they will spend probably $150,0OO for
Liberty bonds OF the fourth issue, dis

has held conferences with township
chairmen. He will complete his tour
of the county this week. While he
has made no official announcement,
it is understood that the campaign
in the county is getting results.
No Discussion Required.
1T Is slow work but there seems
to be no trouble about getting the
subscriptions" said a member OF a
soliciting committee this morning.
"One thing is evident There is no
necessity of explaining what the
bonds are for. OF all the people my
committee called on this morning, it
was not necessary to discuss the pro-
position with them They knew what
we were there for, they knew what
the bonds stand for and they were
ready to go their limit on subscrip
tions."
