rived. There is no smallest vein or artery
of the Washingtonian social body which
has not been stimulated by the arriving
hordes. Even the gentleman who has al
ways wound the White House clocks and
many of the most fashionable clocks in
the town says that the number of clocks
in Washington has increased so that his
business threatens to overwhelm him But
there is no need to go on with the list;
there is in Washington not enough of
anything except incompetent people.

And while you wait, in the far hope of

can make acquaintance and swap stories

that two happy youths were encountered

OUR BOY SCOUTS

no denying the fact, folks
ia new and wonderful force is at
work in our midst. 1t is force that
has always been here but hitherto
has been dormant. 1t is the bouyant,
refreshing, virile force of the youth
converted into a real dynamic under
the inspiring influence Of the Boy
Scouts of America.
In Chickasha there are more than
120 of these lads. Under the direc-
ton of Rev. VIM. Denham the scout
band has grown numerically and 9th
erwise till now ii is one of the most
active and useful social and civic
agencies in the city. Particularly,
in patriotic service have the scouts
shown their quality and the effect of
the lessons taught by scoutcraft. On
every occasion when the community
is called ON to put over a piece OF
patriotic work, the scout is at his
post.
In the Red Cross, Liberty bond
and War Savings campaigns the Boy
Scouts have played conspicuous and
important parts. Recently, in the w
S. s. carnival, they were given a
great variety of jobs and in every in.
stance they made good. "The thing
that impressed me most about these
boys" said Mr.. Conner, manager of
the carnival, was their manliness
and the promptness and thorough
ness with which they performed their

sibility that is placed on them and
do their best, and that is the spirit
which must prevail among the folks
at home if we are to win the war
Take a second and third thought be
fore you say you cannot and will
not pledge more war savings than
you have pledged.
Every man, woman and child IN
America can help win the war Ev
cry man, woman and child who buys

toward winning the war, enlists in
one division of national service, sup
porting the government, and backing
up our fighting men in France and

duties. No less striking was their
uniform courtesy"
Standing out ccrspicuously among
the qualities developed in the boy
by scoutcraft is the sense Of respon'
sibility. No sooner is lad enrolled
in the organization than he begins to
feel that he has a distinct place to
fill in his troop and in the commu-
nifty. The thought that is impressed
upon his mind is that he must make
good as a scout and he forthwith sets
to work to accomplish this purpose.
Rewards come to scouts strictly on
the basis Of merit and the boy recog.
nizes this fact. Every day he is to
do something OF value and in doing
good deeds he acquires habits that
make for useful citizenship.
1t would be mistake to assume
that the influence Of scoutcraft is
limited to the lads enrolled in the
organization. Hundreds of young
sters in the community, too young to
become members, look with envy on
the manly boys in uniform, and arc
eager for the time TO come when
they can take their places in troop
The effect is uplifting and inspiring
to all the youth of the community
That coming years will see better
type of citizenship, as a result of the
scout movement, is not open to ques
tion

OTHER TOWNS "oVER THE TOP"
WITH w. S. S.

Chickasha was not the only town
that failed to subscribe its quota OF
war savings ON June 2S. At Bartles-
Vile less than one-half of the city's
quota was pledged but Bartlesville
didn't t-@stop. meeting of leading
citizens and business men was held
and within one hour two hundred
persons were enrolled in the Limit
club, making up deficit of 5000,
600. In Usage county 555 persons
became members of the Limit club
each pledging to purchase $1,000
worth of stamps.
In Chickasha a committee of bank
ers and business men have been hard
at work for several days, carefully
considering all the pledge cards and
endeavoring to apportion our juota
on basis that is fair to all. The
purpose of this committee is to make
the burden fall equitably on all mem
bcrs of the community. The people
are being asked to raise their pledg'
es when it is apparent that they have
not subscribed in proportion to 9th.
ers. The entire idea is that every
person shall pledge in proportion to,
his ability.
1t is a solemn responsibility which
confronts the city and should be ac'I
cepted in the spirit of real patriotism,
The rural districts of the county have
come across with their quotas and
we cannot afford to have it said that
Chickasha has failed in its duty to-
our government. Remember that
no man has done his share until he
has done his best. 1t is up to us as
patriots and citizens to accept the
quotas assigned to us and to do our
best to make good our pledges.
The spirit of our fighting men in
France should permeate every man
and woman at home. We can never
do as much as one of those boys
"over there" When those boys are
ordered "over the top" they ask no
questions but bravely go forward in
the face of all perils They don't
stop to ask what the cost will be to

I NEW YORK, Nov. S0,-Frankness
belligerent powers that have seaports.
will be difficult TO secure because
every nation with a powerful navy has
one set of interests to serve when
helligerent, and another when neutral.
The widest meaning of freedom of the
seas is that all blockades shall be abb
olshed so that neutrals shall not be
held in any way from trading with
beigerent powers that have seaports,
II this principle had been enforced
during the present war. America and
the allies could not have held Ger
many from getting whatever food sup
plies she desired from South America
or any other neutral by direct trade.
+ A less inclusive meaning is that while
the blockade of a belligerent is per-
missible, no interference shall be al
lowed with the ocean commerce Of
any country bordering on the bellig-
erent nation. With this rule effec-
tive, America and the allies could not
have prevented Scandinavia from act
ing as Germany's agent, importing for
Germany's use whatever foodstuffs
for the Teutons theycould.

1 America had the unique experience
Of having been neutral and belligerent

States opposed any interference with

products to Holland and Scandinavia
but, immediately after America be-
came belllgerent. public opinion woula

end that a neutral world could have

dinavian ports Had this been done
the war would not now be determined
but would have been prolonged to'the
great destruction of Americas young

war is abolished. freedom of the. seas
will come automatically. The ultimate
question is whether the financial ad-
vantage during period while Reu-
trai outweigh the possible defeat when
war comes.
