TO use WOMEN
AS COWPUNCHERS
Oklahoma Ranch Owner
Thinks They Can Do
Light Saddle Work.

Waurika, Okla, July 2-"Just as
certain as shooting" says Bill Davis,
mayor of Fort Worth and ranch
owner of jefferson county. Okla,
well have cowpunchers in skirts be,
fore next summer, if the war doesn't
end before that time. The govern
ment is no respector of persons in the
draft these days. 1t can't afford to
be, in this emergency. Hence the
ranchers of Oklahoma and Texas
have got to give up their cowpunch-
ers, and they must be replaced by
women, Just as women are replacing
men as railroad trains, street cars, in
barber shops, offices and stores"
Mayor Davis believes thtt women
may do practically as we'll as men for
the lighter duties of the ranch. In
Workmanship, he says: many of them
already have proved as efficient as
men.
$50 long as we have men at home
over the age of As years, the ranches
need not seriously suffer" through the
substitution of women for many du-
ties" Mr.. Davis says. Naturally we
would expect men to do the heavy
work by branding cattle and loading
and unloading feed But the woman
should do eXcellently in the saddle on
the roundup and the long drive She
could easily attend to the dipping that
is required, for it is a matter only of
driving the cattle one at a time into
the vat of oil. Wild West shows have
proved that the average horsewoman
could easily cut cattle on the range.
She could do feeding and assist in
loading cattle for market"
Mayor Davis is making a war city
of Fort Worth. The policy of fight,
work or go to jail is especially to his
liking. So long as he's mayor liquor
will be kept away from soldiers in
training near Fort Worth. He
strongly believes that women Of
America can do far more than money
to help win the war;
