Oklahoma City, Feb. 8.-The sub

centrated foods which will be sent
to the allies and to the American
army in France, the consumption Of
home grown vegetables, in order to
release cars for transportation of war
materials, and increased food produc-

Council of Defense. The planting
of a garden OR every home is advo-
Gated.
A definite plan Of the proposed
garden should De made on paper.
This plan should indicate the loca-
tion of each kind Of vegetable in the
garden, the distance between the
rows, and the approximate time of
planting each crop. A we'll thought
out plan is necessary in order to
take care Of proper crop rotation
which is one of the most vital fac
tors in connection with home gar
dens where a small area has to bear
several crops in the course of sea
son.
A good application Of barnyard ma
nure is very important. The manure
should be worked well into the soil.
This will enable the soil to hold the
moisture much better and the soil
can be worked much easier and
more satisfactory. The ground
should be prepared as early as pos
sible and the better 1t will be for
the crops.

Pocasset Hurler VIII Go

Battled Hard Luck Route

show that Fentress turned in several
three to five hit games that he lost.
OF the teams around the circuit,
Atlanta, the pennant winners, were
the hardest club for Fentress to beat
on Atlanta grounds, but one of the
easiest for him to humble on the
Memphis diamond One Of the few
times Atlanta was shut out during
the season, tins Fentress party was
on the business end of the white
wash brush. New Orleans and Blr-
mingham, both pennant contenders,
proved to be pie" for the Pocasset
Rurler. 1t got so ati ne had to do
in New Orleans or Birmingham was
- simply throw his glove into the
box and the stuff was off.
AS an illustration of his hard luck
hurting, there was a hot July day in
Atlanta when Fentress did the iron
man" against the Crackers, flinging
both ends of double header.
da, at third base, pulled some weird
stuff behind Roy in the first game
with the result that Atlanta had the
game on ice by the fourth inning.
Fentress gave up four hits, and the
team made seven errors. In the sec
ond game, Roy got away to a good
start. His team gave him run to
tho tosd, and he held the lead, pitch
ing superb ball to the sixth inning.
At that stage, Brachti in left field,
dropped a long one and the rest of
the crew Immediately contributed to
the Memphis downfall. Although AT
lanta garnered only three hits, they
beat the Chicks by six to two score.
Fentress is ready to go to war
when Uncle Sam says the word, but
if he is not called, will report to
Memphis between March ! ano
Many predict that he will have
good year in Prexy Baugh's circuit.

Roy Fentress of Pocasset was in
Chickasha yesterday looking after
business matters. He is winding up
his affairs around these parts pre-
paretory to leaving. either for the
army or for Memphis, Tenn. He is
not fully advised as to which course
he will pursue. In case he is called
io7 the army, he will go and should
be big help to the Sammies in heav-
Eng hand grenades into the German
trenches.
In the event, however, that he is
not called this spring for the army,
he will join the Memphis Chicks in
Hhe Southern league, to which organ
t2ation he belongs. Last year Roy
went pretty strong with the Chicks
and was a big favorite not only in
Memphis, but in the other towns
around the circuit. His was hard
row to hoe in the Southern for the
reason that Hard Luck camped on
his trail. The shattered condition
of the Chicks during the reign of
Mike Donlin, former Giant outfieidor,
was the principal cause. Mike man
aged the club during the first part
Of the season, during which time it
was on the rocks. Outfielders were
taking their turns on the infield and
pitchers were cavorting around in

forced to take his turn in the box

GENERAL BIDDLE ExToLLs RED CROSS

General John Biddle, commander of the Am
erican army in Great Britain, speaking recently
of the Christmas Roll Call of the American Red
Cross, said that everyone was taking it for
granted now that the Red Cross could provide
any kind of aid in the shortest possible time In
a message to the War Council he paid the fol-
lowing tribute to the organization:
81 really do not know what the American army
would have done in England without the Amerl-
can Red Cross. Everywhere the Red Cross IS
giving the best that can be given or asked for.
Our men are being cared for as well as they can
be and are helped by the Red Cross in every way.
The large hospitals in London at Paignton and
Salisbury and the one at Mossley Hill, Liver
pool are some of the largest gifts. At all our
camps throughout the British Isles it has given
us many things which we either could not get
from the government, or could not get without
much delay.
'"This VIC - oee- so well done that nova
days ev-ry G applies first to the Red Cross
whenever tce- want anything very particularly
CT very qU-cl Il seems to me that every
time | les.ve Lcndcn tC &C anywhere | see some
thin ne7 the5 the Red Cross has been doing.
IN the Otranto disaster the first thir6 we did

supplies of various kinds, and whe sent a

OF Isiay many provisions for the expedition
came from the Red Cross. When sent large
number of men to northern Russia a short time
ago, the Red Cross sent don't know how many
hundred tons of supplies.
eve in the army all feel gratitude to the
Red Cross which it is hard for to express
in words. Without the Red Cross it would be
impossible to have given the camps the COM
forts, conveniences and happiness they have re-
cevied in England. You have our hearty thanks
for all you've done, doing, and intend do
ing as long as there is American soldier in

TO SAVE LIFE

Millions of starving women and cn1ldren IN
Europe are looking to the people OF America 10
feed them The fighting is over, but famine,
mother of anarchy, is still lowering over the
world.
Millions of Russians, the experts report, must
certainly die this winter of starvation. How
many more, the people of America-especlaly
our good housewives determine. The poor
of POLAND, Finland, Armenia and the Czecho-
Slavs are starving The whole war-wrecked
world looks to America for food.
All the food of the world is practically in
common pot Statisticians know where every
pound is located and what shipping and other
manipulation is needed to distribute it to the
best advantage.
There is not enough for everyone, even if no
one buys or consumes more than he or she
needs.
Because the United States is one of the great
repositories of food, and because the shipping
facilities from this country in better shape
than in almost any other zone, we must do more
than our share.
Twelve million tons of food were exported
from this country last year. This year the pledge
of the United States to Europe is 100000 tons.I
We must save-that is, not use-two-thirds
more food than did last year. It is great
promise, and only possible of fulfillnent if the
housewives of America exert all that they have
of perseverance and thrift.
It is longer question of substituting GER
tain foodstuffs for others. Vegetable oil for
butter? There is as great shortage of vege-
table oil as of the dairy product. Coarse grains,
instead of wheat? There is really more wheat
than coarser grains, comparatively speaking, but
more than a supply Of each. Sugar is scarce,
but the sugar substitutes scarcer.
The housewife who plans carefully, not for
campaign of day or week, nor to save one
special kind of provender, but who pledges her.
self to program of daily food saving, carried
out with the same devoted enthusiasm that has
characterized the American women throughout
the whole struggle, will certainly do her part in
the great reconstruction period that is to come.
Save a human life by saving food in your
hor-~

WE'RE ALL IDEALISTS

The insistently practical man is an uncon-
scious idealst His ideal is action
The sternest inconoclast is an idealist He
wants to realize simplicity.
Ideals impractical in one stage of human de-
velopment become the realizations of later gen.
erations.
Ideals are the oars of Progress.
The higher the ideal the nobler the character
OF the individual can become.
Sneers at idealists and idealism are wasted
They are too often self-condemnations
The Great War was clash of ideals as truly
as it was a conflict of men.
The higher ideals won. They always win
Ideals create enthusiasts. Thrice armed is
he who has enthusiasm.
