FORMER HOWARD MAN
Whipped fin Oklahoma for DislOyal
 Letters and Talk.

The council of defense, that is, the working end of it, visited Soper last night and at about midnight gave the Rev. Charles F. Reese "a whipping he will remember for many day after the war and the Red Cross have finish ed.
 It came to the notice of the service department" of the council that Reese had been writing some letters and do- ing lot of talking. The council had the letters in it's possession as evi- dence and showed them to the rever- end gentleman, and he acknowledged being the author.
 In letter written last December he made some derogatory remarks about the Red Cross, and when faced with this accusation, said that he wrote the letter before the espionage act went into effect, and this was the only excuse he made.
 He told some parties, or perhaps Hdu WllIICA e lcIISi, StoIAhS ths.C hS would die before he would go to the
 war and he admitted saying that. And then there was some good eyi- Gence, principally letters, showing that Ee had wrecked home in Soper, and this was also held against him, and was proven beyond doubt. After he had been given a hearing and said what he had to say, he was stretched over a barrel and about 100 lashes were we'll laid on with Bob Con- nolls leather strap. He groancd and moaned under the punishment and tried to wiggle away from thenl-but every lick struck the spot. He claimed to be g minister of God and would talk about the good women of the world, who are giving their all for humanity, thousands of them with. O.. remunerction-while Reese
 preached fer his God for money. There
 arc those who Lave no further respect
 for God than to use his name to "get
 by" on, and Reese seems to be one o
 them
 Tie council is very we'll satisfied
 with tic job tley did, and believe the
 county will be troubled with Reese

L|GHTLESS NIGHTS
NOT TO Be CHANGED
Fuel Administrator Myer Says
Many Persons Under Wrong
Impression.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Nov. 90, (Spl)
Fuel Administrator W. f. Myer to-
day announced that there would be no
change in Tennessee witt reference to
''lightless nights" and that Monday and
Tuesday nights would be observed as
formerly.
For some reason the impression
seems to have got out that the regula
tions with respect to lightless nights
have been abolished said Myer, when
as a matter of fact Washington has
increased the number OF iightless nights
in some of the states. IN New York,
New Jersey, Delaware. Maryland and
the District of Columbia, the number
of lightiess nights have been increased
to four per week, while tennessee has
been left on the same old schedule OF
two.
1.-THE people of Tennessee should not
forget that this state IS still expected
to save $4,000 tons Of coal between
now and April, 1919" said Myer, "and
that instead of lightless nights being
abolished we are expected to continue
on the same old scheduie.''
