and sailor does not end at least until they are again fully reinstated in their former positions in civil life. The Relief Act protects the soldier only during his period of service. Accumulated troubles confront him upon his return. Especially in the instance of small farmers, small business men and professional men with small practices who are most apt to need legal advice, profits will not begin to come in for months with which to pay for legal advice. And yet 30 days after discarge from active service judgment may be entered against him and in ninety days his opportunity to have reopened any judgment entered against him during military service is lost. few weeks delay, due to accident or misfortune, prevents the discharged man from taking advantage of the provisions of the act. Two months before they are required to cease wearing uni forms. they will be in every sense civilians before the law.
 The protection given under the act to persons remaining in the military service continues for six months af- ter the proclamation of peace by the president.
 We can pay part of our debt to the returned soldier by seeing to 1t that he receives exact justice under the war emergency legislation, but we owe more than that. He will often need constructive legal advice In many instances, it will not be So much in actual litigation that is pending against him as in problems concerning the title to his farm. the validity of his debts. adjustments oi personal relationships and similar matters upon which he must be ad vised.
 In addition. there is immediate work to be done in preventing re' turning soldiers from being mulcted by loan sharks and others. The steadying effect of legal advice avail able on the spot will make the cam paigns of these scoundrels, who are already at work, of little avail. The state council especially warns return ing soldiers and sailors against 'the loan sharks and to have no dealings with them.

The average Oklahoma Indian is more interested in oil royalties than in current events. Recently a locally well known Indian came into Ard more to cash his quarterly check, and on being approached for a Red Cross contribution, asked:

 Red Cross work was briefly ex- plained and the Indian came back with another query, What war;"
 Why, the war with the Germans, was the answer Didn't you know America is at war with the Ger mans?'
 "No," replied the Indian. How long?"
 The situation was explained at length, and after studying over the matter the Indian said:

KNOWLEDGE UNTO HIMSELF

A group of business men Tn southern Indiana city some weeks ago met on a street corner and were discussing the progress that had been made by the allied forces on the western front. During the conversa- tion a fellow citizen who is fond of expressing his opinion, but whose field of information is so limited that he doesn't appreciate how small it is, joined the crowd and listened to the various expressions
 Unable to hold his silence, he de clared:
 There ain't no doubt but that our boys has thrown new life into the alleys, but in my opinion the boches can't fight like the Germans did. {. And then, before any one could get in a word, he added:
 And then we've done lots better work since our merchant marines has got into the front line action. .'- Indianapolis News.
