Monument Is Erected to Slackers

|
Slackers had better keep away from
Lawler, where they have evolved an
original and unique way of showing
up the Stacker population Of the COM
munity. There is in that community
one family who are conscientious" OBJ
jectors to war, basing their object
ions on religious principles. They are
believers in the "teachings" of Pastor
Russell and distributors Of his doc
trine.''
Information 1T hand reveals the fact
that they have>persistently refused to
purchase bonds, stamps or donate to
the Red Cross. although they are
among the wealthiest and most up-to-
date families in Chickasaw county, and
were very popular in the community
until war was declared One of the
daughters, it is said, bought Liberty
Bonds, and reports have it that she
was compelled to leave home for so
doing. The people were inclined to be
lenient until they fatty refused to pur-
chase bonds of the Third Liberty Loan.
They have fine home short distance
from Lawler. One morning recently
they awoke and Cooked out upon a
world snew." Every tree and fence
post doomed up bright yellow.
They drove to town to demonstrate,
and when reaching the public square
they were Mortified to see looming up
before them a monument eight feet
high, surmounted by flag, the monu-
ment painted bright yellow with their
names in large black lettering on the
four sides of the base. Near the top,
also in black lettering, was the in
scription: dedicated to the Chicka-
saw County Slackers-the Slaughter
Family" Just beneath were the
names of every member of the family.
except the young lady who had pur-
chased bonds.
The man who is not with Uncle Sam
is against him the only thing for
the Stacker to do is to move and keep
on moving. -Ossian Bee.
