tOn jefferson Brings Up Rear People Asleep Says District Chairman
Is Short $2l4 ,OOO Service Flag 10 Harmon

Grady county has established the
best record of any county in the
Fifth Oklahoma district in the Third
Liberty Loan campaign, as shown
by figures given out today by VIM
II. Donahue, district chairman. Not
only was Grady county's quota more
than any other county in The dis
trict, but this county has raised more
money and has exceeded her quota
by the greatest margin than any 9th
er of the II counties comprising the
district.
While Grady leads, jefferson coun.
ty brings up the tail of the process
sion. At this time, Jefferson is 50
far behind that they will have to use
whip and spur to even get in sight
OF the leaders at the finish. Grady's
quota is s5o2 500. Total subscrip-
tons to date amount to s545,OOO, ex-
eeeding the quota by $42i0o. JET
ferson county's quota is SSS9,l00. To
date they have raised $4,000, being
short s214,1OO.
According to the report OF Mr..
Donahue, the other counties have
made the following records to date:

SPECIAL
WORK FOR
DRAFTMEN
LOvernmeai Offers Opportunity For Work
10 Qualified Trades Under Head Of
Nations Want Column"

Under the heading, THE Nations
Want Column the war department
ir issuing a call for volunteers Of
draft age for special service with
the army. The men are urged to re-
port promptly if they desire to get
in the work for which they are es-
pecially skilled.
The call is issued from the office
0. Provost Marshal General Crowder
and specifies that the draftmen must
report to their local boards not later
than April 25 in order to get in for
this special work. The government
call for this work covers practically
every branch of skilled mechanical
labor and extends to the clerical end,
making it possible for almost any
skilled worker to get in. Full de.
tails may be had in this county by
applying to S. G. Durbin, chairman
OF the exemption board. This call
applies only to men of draft age.
Those who have been notified to re-
port for regular duty on April rs VIII
not be considered in this special.
The local exemption board has re-
ceived an additional call for men to
report between May 6 and g. This
will take five men from the northern
and four from the southern district
of the county The only change in
theorders is that these men will go
to Camp Macarthur Waco, Texas.
The board is busy at this time pre-
pairing the list of men who will go
forward between May / and G and
May 6-S, two calls being on the dock
ct now, in addition to the increment
that will go to Camp Travis on April
26, the list of names of which call
have been announced.
The best bet for the draftmen who
have some particular trade and who
want to take advantage of the oppor-
tunity of serving the government in
the capacity for which they are best
fitted, seems to be to report to the
local board before April %. Their
names will be listed but they will
not be inducted into the service on
that date. Their calls will come
later.

In speaking OF the campaign up to
date and the shortage shown, Mr.
Donahue said, "More than half OF the
shortage comes from the Stacker

reason it has been impossible TO

Beyond Expectations

Like the show in "Polly Of the Cir.
GUS the Third Liberty Loan drive
IN Grady county "must go on" until
May 4, according to statement
made this morning by F. L. Slusher,
Glady county chairman.
The campaign up to this time has
been success, but it must be a big
ser success and if the bonds sub
scliptions being received at the banks
now are to be taken as an indica-
toin, complete satisfaction will be
attained. Few indeed are the towns
on precincts in the county that have
not exceeded or at least equaled
their quotas
Rush Springs is one of the towns
that is yet behind and in an effort
to inject a little more pep" into the
campaign there, F. l.. Slusher, coun-
ty chairman, and Alger Melton of
the Grady county Council of De-
fonse, will go to Rush Springs today
to make a diagnosis of the case and
erdeavor to determine the exact
trouble, then give medicine that will
effect cure.
"We will meet with tho precinct
chairmen Of the south end of the
county" said Mr.. Slusher this morn.
Jig. There must BE some dead tim
ber in the bunch. Something is
wrong, because | feel that the Rush
Springs people and the folks of the
south end of Grady county are just
as patriotic as any other section, yet
they have not gone over the top with
their Liberty loan quota. 1t is posi-
Bile that we will be compelled to
make changes in the lineup of south
ern Grady county. At any rate, we
Will see what we can do to help
them weed out the slickers and
slackers in the district and go on
record as 100 per cent patriotic.
"That the campaign is actually go
ing on is evidenced by the fact that
both Chickasba and the country
banks report applications for bonds
coming in every day. With the ter.
ritory practically covered, OF course
the rush is over, but the sniping
squads are still active, and many Of
the people who were missed and
others who were seen but who did
not buy at that time, are coming in
with their applications. The total
is going to put Grady county miles
over the quota, just where it should
be.
But because Grady county is over,
is no reason why we should let up.
We are not putting up and want
everyone to realize that the bond
campaign is just as much reality
at this time as it was on the day it
opened. 1t is a well known fact
that we have received orders from
the Federal Reserve bank to keep
hammering away until May and
take all the subscriptions we can
get. The idea of the government
is to give everyone chance to as
sert his patriotism by buying these

stay after it hot and heavy until the
