PLENTY OF pep WHEN
DONIPHAN LADS GO
OVER TOP AT FRITZ

The beautiful part of it was that the
men did not know that they were
putting on any special show. They
were simply performing their days
work, but when the Liberty bond
campaign managers wound up their
tour Of inspection with the aviation
section Wednesday noon, they cast
a vote that was unanimous to the
effect that they had witnessed the
greatest performance ever. The said
show was at Camp Doniphan.
Every drill spoke volumes for tpe
efficiency of the training. Except
for a comparative few, the men had
never shouldered an army rifle until
they arrived at Camp Doniphan, yet
the movements of every unit was like
the workings of a machine. Expert
enced army officers might pick
flaws, but to the eye of the civilian
the ads at Camp Doniphan are fin
lShed soldiers.
The movements Of the companies
going through the bayonet drills
were the most comical, also the pre-
sentation of the most vivid picture
Of the grim work ahead. The come
dy of the piece was injected entirely

special instructor In the bayonet
drill. He is undoubtedly an expert
in his line, for. according to the
statement of a "Doughboy" the ma
jor offers a prize of $40 to any man

Reposing in the office of Sheriff
Hodge Bailey are six quarts of whis.

quoted by certain gentry are worth
a total of $48, yet no one seems in
clined to step forth and claim said

county attorney are endeavoring to

Also resting in the custody Of the
sheriff is one Ford flivyer, said to be

confiscation proceedings are being
started by the authorities. Bob Cas-

WHITE ELK
NOT KNOWN
TO BOARD
Registers in Pueblo; Gives ChiCkasha as
Residence; Vaudeville Profession
Says Has Been in France

Though he has exhausted all re-
sources, S. c. Durbin, chairman OF
the Grady county exemption board,
has found no trace of the residence
in Chickasha of Chief White Elk
(Touoxonanna) who registered in
Pueblo, Colo, on order of y. S. At
torney Harry B. Tedrow and at which
time the chief gave his home as
Chickasha.
The investigation was started when
parties in Salt Lake City wired to
the chairman of the local board, re.
questing the information. The tel
egram stated that White Elk claimed
TO be a Cherokee Indian and bore
passport under the name of c. w.
Ellis, also that he claims to be a sur
vivor of the Antilles.
The facts held in the office Of the
local board show that White Elk reg.
istered at the city hall in Pueblo, on
Feb. 8. Ills registration card states
that he was born in Syracuse, N. Y,
that his profession Is that of a
vaudeville performer and that his
home is in Chickasha.
The chief wants to fight, accord
ing to card received from him by
the local board. In the card he
states, "Will you please notify me
when called, addressing me general
delivery, Denver. / hope / am called
soon, as l have made one trip to
France and what I saw there makes
me feel like fighting"
Secretary Durbin wired Salt Lake
City this morning, stating in effect
that Chief White Elk is not known
here. that his name is not in any di
rectory nor appearing on the Chero
kee roll. eafsAiAH
The Salt Lake parties seemed rath
er inclined to wonder why the chief
is in possession of so many names,
towit: White Elk, Touoxonanna,
which might be Indian for White
Elk, and c. w. Ellis.
They also seem to be specializing
on the possibility that there are no
drops of Indian blood in his veins,
but that he is doing considerable of
a camouflage stunt.

WANTS ALL
TO ATTEND
FAIR MEET

The fact that all business men and
farmers are welcome to attend the
meeting of the Grady County Free
Fair association directors to be held
at the Farm Bureau office on next
Tuesday, March 26, was stressed par
ticularly by w. E. Smith, president.
In speaking of the meeting, Mr.
Smith said: Some seem to have
gotten the idea that we were holding
these meetings in a secret way, and
that we did not want anyone but the
directors to attend the session"
"Now the fact is. we want the far
mers and business men of this coun-
ty to interest themselves in the meet
ing.
"a decision as to where the next
free fair viii be held will probably
be made at the meeting. There is
one thing certainty The dates of
the fair cannot be changed. They
are fixed by the government officials
in charge of the fairs. Grady county
will have to hold their free fair this
year on Sept. 9-1O-11-12. The .rea-
son that there can be no change in
the dates is that the government has
just so many judges to cover the
fairs in this state. Their schedule
must be worked out in rotation so
that a limited number can judge all

drill it appears that in this branch
tn men are living up to their train
ing in every sense of the word.
Speed and thoroughness of dispatch
are the prime requisites. To see a
line Of men charge the dummies, ram
the old steel home and make a quick
withdraw is rather inclined to send
several cold chills chasing one anoth-
er up and down the spinal column.
There isn't chance for a civilian
to understand the orders given by the
English Instructor. They all snap
like a whip and the men move, never
slow, but always on the double quick
or better. After the men have killed
a considerable number of the
"Boches" swinging from the frames,
the semi-windup is staged. With the
unit selected to go "oyer the top
well secreted in their trenches, the
order is given and they come out,
not one at time to be picked off,
but in a solid line. With bayonets
looking mighty sharp and business
like, they charge. On the way they
pick up" a few "Boches" who hap
pen to be prone on the ground.
With blood-chilling yells they assail
the front line and dispatch their men
with vicious thrusts, "Y-e-e-ah!" as
they thrust and a duplicate only lit
tie more so, as they withdraw.
Then they go into the trench. This
particular one is about 10 to 12 feet
from rim to rim, with a firing step
scme four feet down. Terrible car

PEACH SEASON IS OVER

Atlanta, Ga, July 27.-Practically
all of Georgia's record-breaking peach
crop has been moved to the northern
markets. Up to date eight thousand
cars had passed out of the state, and
there are only few scattering ship
ments yet to be made.
Never before has any state in the
Union handled SO large peach
crop, and even Georgias best record
in 1912 has been surpassed. The re-
markable part of the shipment of so
large yield is that it has been sue
cessfully accomplished despite an ice
shortage, labor shortage and grave
transportation problems.
Much of the credit for this success
rests with the Georgia Fruit Ex-
change, which has achieved an even
distribution, maintained good prices
and answered in every way the de-
mands of the situation.
