Dear Mr.. Lawson:
Thanks for report on your County.
You did. well. In some of the dry

voted NO."
Some talk of contest. One pre-

AMERICAN RED CROSS
AIDS LEPER COLONY

Washington, d. c.. Aug. 9-The
American Red Cross has shipped
twenty pounds of quinine to the Sis
ters of st. Vincent de Paul, who have
charge of the leper colony at Fara-
fangana, South Madagascar. The
Sisters recently sent an appeal to the
French minister for the colonies in
Paris, but he was unable to send the
quinine because of the enactment Of
a law which forbids the exporting Of
it during the present war The mat
ter was turned over to the American
Red Cross and as a result the quinine
was on a vessel which set sail from
an American port several days ago.
The quinine is wanted because of the
prevalence Of fever.

ON SUGAR
is BETTER
Oklahoma Gets Additional Allot-
ment; Grocers Allowed In
crease Supply to Meet
Demands for Canning.

Oklahoma has been allotted more
sugar by the federal food admins
traitor according to q letter received
at the office of county food admin
istrator c. NJ Hollingsworth yester-
day and grocers of the state will be
allowed an increased supply to meet
the new canning season demands, Mr..
Hollingsworth announced today State
food dictator, Ames, is of the opinion
that the sugar situation is getting
some better and at least for the pre-
sent the canning allowance will not
be cut.
Grocers of the county who have not
received sugar certificates from the
state office are now requested to call
at he Office of the county admins
traitor and secure permits. Orders to
rush canning as much as possible in
order that no fruit or vegetables
might be lost were issued some time
ago and to secure the proper interest
for canning it has been necessary to
take a few limitations from the sale
of sugar for that purpose.
Instructions as to securing sugar
for canning are that the first %
pounds of sugar may be obtained for
canning purposes without special
permit from the food administrator
To obtain the second 25 pounds it is
necessary to obtain permission from
the food boss.

was Given Biggest Boost
of Entire Year.
OFFICERS TELL OF
NEEDS OVER THERE
Say Allies Depending on America
to Win War by Food Produc-
tion; Farmers to Play
Big Part.

One thousand farmers registered
during the course of the August
Farm Congress that has just closed
at Saltwater, according to Grady
county farm agent j. w Owens who
returned to Chickasha this morning.
An imperative need for the increase
of production of food stuffs was made
the keynote Of the meet as every
farm agent in the state lined up his
community behind the administers
ton pledging unstinted support in
keeping up the farm movement.
War preparation on the farm and
increasing efforts to produce food for
the men in the trenches was ham
mered home to every county farm
man in the state by representatives
of the food department, members Of
the state board of agriculture and
even soldiers fresh from the trenches,
according to Mr. Ovens At no pre-
vious meeting of Oklahoma farmers
has the gospel of rush on the fields
for additional preparedness been
sounded so clearly, Mr.. Owens says.
Features of the convention were
speeches Of members Of the national
legislature and French officers from
the war zone who told Oklahoma far
mers and farm agents of the alarming
wheat shortage in the European ma
tions at war and the prayer of the
fighting allies for American susie
nance. Senator Colby Of New Jersey

Work of Excise Board Held up
Here by Failure of State
Equalization Board to
Make Report.
IMPOSSIBLE TO MAKE
CALCULATION OF LEVY
County Clerk Office is Now Blu
reau of Information; War
rants Approved but Can
not be Issued

There is mighty little doing in the
office of the county clerk, In fact,
as far as the transaction of actual
business is concerned, the operations
are practically nil. However, posing
az a bureau Of information the office
is comparatively busy-even better
than that it is derned busy place.
There is one question that is asked
more often than any other at this
particular time. 1t is when will |
get my salary warrant?"
Mt only that, but everyone who has
a bill against the county is asking
when they will get their money. The
explanation is UP to County Clerk Cox,
who with patience and at length tells
the insistent ones why there is no
thing doing in the payment line
"Ain't the county got the money!"
they ask.
sure the county has the money"
replies Mr.. Cox.
We'll, why in thunder can't | get
what's comm to me then?"
The explanation is like this: At
the meeting Of the board of county
commissioners, all bills against the
county fr the month July were
audited and allowed. Despite this
fact, there is no money available at
this time because the state equali-
zation board has no yet made the
public service valuation approval yet
Until that approval is made, the
county excise board cannot complete
its work, a nd until the county excise
board finishes with the business in
hand, there will be no checks issued
from the office of he county clerk
except possible rain checks.
The county excise board has been
in session for several days, recessing
from day to day awaiting the arrival
Of the necessary reports from the
state equalization board When those
reports come, the levy may be figured
and business completed but at the
present there is no way to determine
the ultimate valuation upon which to
base a levy
The work of the county commits
sioners is complete for tho month as
far as the regular routine business
is concerned, There was little bust.
ness to come before the meeting,
which was adjourned from the first
Monday in this month. Among the
regular monthly bills, the handling
Of which furnished most of the bus
mess of the session, were items to-
taiing about $4,000 for road work in
the county.
The commissioners board left the
business in such shape that there
will be no further tie up of salaries
and other warrants when the neces
sary report on the public service
valuation is received from the state
bard of equalization. All bills stand
approved and there will be nothing
left to do but issue the warrants AM
vouchers.
