ought Stlll TO continue to grow the
largest crops possible and trust Uncle
Sam to clear up such injustices by due
process of law in good time. 'Keep
kicking as hard as you can, but keep
working.'
A scoring was administered to the
Non-partisan league which has been
quite active in Oklahoma and other
places, and it was characterized as the
radical tail end of the !. w. W., and it
was suggested that if there are any
specimens of American citizens of that
| stripe in our section of the country
they would serve better purpose if
used to decorate some of our telegraph
poles than if allowed to continue 20
serve Uncle Sam in their present ca
pacity.
The second of these groups are ma
tional problems. The speaker stated
that in one days fighting more ammu-
milton had been used than during our
entire civil war. He urged the people
to beware of that class of pro-German
| sympathizers who serve the kaiser by
belittling the work of the American
Red Cross society; charging graft N
the handling of goods, etc. Mr.. David
son of the J. P. Morgan Banking com
pany had authorized the speaker to
nffor vi al,
misuse of funds or goods and that only
twice had this offer been accepted, one
charge being run to earth and found
absolutely untrue, and the second boy
who accepted the offer proved to be a
doserter and the local Red Cross soci
ETY. received $50 for the return of the
descrtcr. He got nothing bccauae GA
the date when he claimed to have pur-
chased a helmet from the Red Cross
people for less than the cost of the
yarn in it he had not been at the camp
at all, but had already deserted. Lieu
tenant Nance declared the work of the
Red Cross to be absolutely straight and
above board and that there was AS
much necessary red tape as safeguard
in the handling of its affairs as in any
other branch of the service.
He expressed hope that the sedition
bill now before congress would be
passed quickly. He thought the custom
of caring for German spies in the best
hotels of the land was hardly the
proper method of procedure. The hope
was expressed that the time would
come soon when the property of Ger
man sympathizers iy TIM co.. ntry
would be confiscated by the govern.
mcnt and they confined in internment
camps until the end of the war after
which they would be.sent back to Ger
many to stay forever.
The speaker took pleasure in the
fact that the government is now in Il
position to furnish food, clothing, arms,
ammunition and transportation for it's
troops in way that We were not able
to do at the beginning.
The third group mentioned was the
social problems. Men will come home
from the front in large numbers with
one, two, three and even four limbs
missing, many either blind or deaf, or
both. It will be necessary to re.edu-
cate those men SO as to make them
self-supporting as far as possible.
France and England are already at
work on this gigantic task and we
must face it soon.
The lieutenant could not pass by a
little facetiousness and prophesied that
good many of our American girls
would soon become a good deal less
finicky about the sort Of husbands they
marry than they used to be and sug-
gested that some Of them might Le
