AMERICAN ARMY RIFLES SUPE.
RIOR TO GERMANY.

American troops are armed with a
faster firing and more accurate rife
than used by the Germans, according
to our expert designers, manufactur-
ers, and marksmen, says statement
by the Bureau of Ordance. One
military critic and writer claims the
German Mauser does not permit the
most skilled user to get more than 80
per cent Of the firing speed of the
modified Enfield adopted for the
United States service.
The superiority claimed for the
American weapon is supported on
three counts: Quicker firing as a
result of bolt-handle design, easier
and quicker sighting as result of
sight design, greater accuracy of
bullet flight resulting from bullet de
sign and greater mechanical accuracy
of chamber and bore.

r. |. MEN LOYAL

When a state of war with Germany
was declared by the United States
the local Rock Island employees were
first among the people of Chickasha
to unfuri their colors, erecting huge
pole and placing thereon an immense
flag, thus signifying to the world
that they were standing by their
country in the crisis that had arisen.
This flag, which was paid for and
put up by the Il. !. workers, has
borne eloquent testimony to the pa
triotism and loyalty of our railroad
men
In view Of the consistent attitude
taken by these men toward the war
policies of the nation from the out
set it was not strange that their
wrath was aroused when it was re-
ported that an l. W. w agitator had
been among them, attempting to in.
cite a strike, and that III their right.

WAKING UP!

BY LOIS MERTON.

1t was ike going into a new world
! for Jasper Fairfax to have a vacation.
For Il years he had been .cooped
up in q s'aony room fronting a blind
court, porting over the books Of Nor
ton & Co. His routine had never
known break At eight in the morn
ing he got up on his high stool at
twelve he ate small lunch, at FIVE in
the afternoon went to cheerless
apartment in a cheap boarding house,
and at nine to bed
His salary was liberal one, and he
saved money. What he was living for
except to provide for his old age, he
never tried to figure out. He was
shut away from the brisk, varied bus
tie Of the counting room. Perhaps the
only person he spoke to during the
day was his stenographer, Miss Ethel
Thorpe, who occupied wire box of
an Office adjoining his own.
He spoke to her now IT was early
morning. and Miss Thorpe regarded
him with wonder as he appeared, the
tasteful dresser complete. an entirely
new Jasper Fairfax, looking more the
typical business man than the desk
drudge.
81 am going away, Miss Thorpe" he
announced, so Overwhelming an event
in his life that he appreciated her
startled look.
"Not--not for good?" questioned she,
q quick fiutter in her tones.
IT don't know" responded Jasper.
"The house wishes me TO look over
their branch at Bolton. You see, I
told them last week that had saved
UP a LITTLE, and felt that l needed a
rest. They seemed really anxious to
keep me in their service"

"They asked me 70 visit the branch

On the contrary, we feel sure that
the Rock Island men would have done
exactly what they said they would
do if such a mischief-maker had open

probability being that the ranks of

have speedily been reduced by at
least one. Chickasha has every rea-
son to be proud of the patriotic

railroad men from the beginning OF

PARK MUST BE CLOSE IN

Several sites for the proposed city
park and fair grounds have already
bcen submitted and there will doubt
less be others. until the returns are
all in, we need not be in a hurry to
make up our minds concerning our
choice. In the meantime, however,
there is one point which should be
kept constantly in view in regard to
any location which may be consid-
cred and that is proximity to the
city
To locate a park at any point not
easily accessible from the car line
would be fatal blunder and a costly
one, too, even though the site could
be secured for song 1t is idle to
suppose that capital could be inter

especially at a time when street car

Chickasha and when so much of the

A park not within walking distance
from the car line would be Of little
use except to those who are able to
