every single business man of okla
homa should personally get behind
this war savings stamp campaign and
sell stamps.
With but few exceptions the bust
ness men of Chickasha have patriot
ically taken up the task assigned to
them by the government, accepting
appointments as agents for the snle
of stamps. It is hoped that every
one Of these agents will make it his
business to push the sale of stamps
throughout the remainder of the
year

BETWEEN BOND ISSUES


The second Liberty loan is sub
scribed and paid for. There will be
another in a couple Of months, prob
ably on the same terms, with ths
same time-payments in order to en-
able people to buy the bonds from
savings out of their current income
In the meantime, what?
The answer is simple; Thrift
Stamps. They're on sale right now
everywhere. They serve the same
purpose as Liberty bonds. In fact
they are Liberty bonds They're
"baby bonds" bearing the same in
terest as their big brothers, and serv-
ing the same purpose for the govern.
ment for the investor and for the
cause of human freedom.
It's important that Uncle Sam
should have steady stream of mon
ey pouring into his war treasury
from this source. It's just as impor.
tant that citizens Of all classes should
keep up without interruption the
practice Of buying bonds according
to their ability. For that means the
development Of a national habit Of
thrift, and thrift habit is necessary
to win the war.
You'll be able to buy bonds all the
easier when the third Liberty loan
comes along if you've been cultivat,
ing the "baby bond" habit in the
meantime -McAlcster News.Capitai.

MEN Men OF q TO
REGISTER FOR
SERVICE SOON
Local Draft Board Instruct
ed to Hold Itself in
Readiness.

The local, draft board has received
Instructions from the war department
in Washington to hold ltseiI in readi-
ness for the registration of men who
became u years old on June 5 last, or
since chat date.
While nothing definite has been
mo usced, in view OF h fact that
additional legislation concerning this
registration Is still pending in the
congress. the preliminary notice sent
to the local board is interpreted as a
forecast that a date will soon be de-
cided upon.
Anticipating the registration sum-
mons. the draft board is making an
effort to ascertain the probable num-
Der Of men who will be ordered to
register in this county. The estimate,
tentatively arrived at. is based upon
the population of the county. roughly
given as about 10000, and it is cal
culated that approximately ~ per
cent of this number will come within
the regulations of the expected legis-
l%ation-~-in other words, about 800
men are presumed to have reached
the age of q since the registration
OF last year.
This figure. it VAS pointed out, is
by no means definite, but is a mere
olhand guess loosely based upon the
population percentage. The number,
p however. ~ uOI eApSCIcu " NC HhuSAA
larger, and for this reason it is not
thought necessary to have the reg
istration take place. as last year., at
the regular precinct places. It, Is
probable that IL registrar will be APP
pointed for each city and town
throughout the county. but no action
in that direction will be pIken until
definite orders arrive from the pro-
vost marshal general at Washington.
There are. it was said today, GER
tain facts which indicate that the or
der now looked for will arrive within
a week or two as the national legis-
lators as we'll as the officials of the
war department are DESTROYS of hav-
ing the question settled as soon as
noSsible.

CLUB MOURNS
6. 6. SHERWOOD
Local Organization Adopts
Resolution Expressing
Appreciation.

At a general meeting OF the Com
mercial club held last night the mem-
brs adopted a resolution, expressing
their appreciation Of the personal and
civic work performed by G.. G. sher-
wood, who died May 4, and setting
forth also the sorrow which members
felt at the announcement Of his death.
The resolution reads as follows:
ut is fitting that the Commercial
club of Grand Forks, through its di-
rectors. place upon record the deep
feeling of sorrow which permeates the
club at the death of George G. Sher-
wood. and also express the clubs
high appreciation OF his services to
and influence in this community.
George G. Sherwood was born in
Iowa about forty years ago. In that
state he received his education and
business training, and there he passed
the larger portion of his life, taking
up the banking business as his field Of
work. In the summer of 1916 he was
invited to come to Grand Forks as
cashier of the Northern State Bank.
This invitation he accepted, and
from that time until his death, on
May 4. 1918, he discharged h duties
of his office with ability and fidelity.
From his first coming to Grand
forks. Mr.. Sherwood made his influ-
ence felt in the city and in the state.
vi Il COfuldi, 6cIldl NISpOSltlOu, lie
made friends easily and retained
them. Everyone who knew George
Sherwood liked him, and his popular
ity soon outran the confines Of his
home city. He tool a keen interest
and prominent part in local and state
banking matters, and served on sew
eral important committees of the
North Dakota Bankers association.
Mr.. Sherwood entered heartily and
promptly into the life and affairs of
the city. He "a a valued member
Of this club. and his well-trained
mind. his broad and sympathetic out
look upon life, his keen analysis of
men and affairs. made his counsels
most helpful and his advice almost
constantly sought. Ever ready and
willing to answer d demand upon his
time and ability. his influence was
a for the solid up-building Of the
life and character. as well as the ma
.terial prosperity of the community.
But Mr.. S~herwood's activities were
not entirely local in their scope. A
true. red-blooded American. he was
intensely interested in matters con.
corning state and national citizenship
and well-being. For some time be.
fore his illness he had been promi.
nently active in the work of the state
council of defense. M a few day:
