with humility but with utmost
resolution:
But, oh Lord, if they must

President Wilson urges gencr-

grades during war time. In a let
Ter to Secretary Lame approving

for an educational campaign this
summer and fall he says:
9 | am pleased to know that
despite the unusual burdens inn
posed upon our people by the
war they have maintained their
schools and other agencies Of ed
ucation SO nearly at their normal
efficiency That this should be
continued throughout the war
aud that, insofar as the draft law
will permit, there should be no
falling off in attendance in ele-
mentary schools. high schools or
colleges is matter of the very
greatest Importance, affecting
both our strength in war and our
national welfare and efficiency
when the war is over. So long
as the war continues there will be
constant need Of very large num-
bcrs of men and women of the
highest and most thorough train
lng for war service in many lines.
After the war there will be urgent
need not only for trained leader
ship IN all lines of industrial, com
mercial, social and civic life, but
for very high average of intel
ligence and preparation on the
part OF all the people. | would
therefore urge that the people
continue TO give generous sup
port to their schools of all grades
and that the schools adjust them |
selves as wisely as possible to the
new conditions to the end that |
no boy or girl shall have less op- |
portunity for education because |
of the war and that the nation
may be strengthened as it can
only be through the right educa-
tlon OF all its people approve
most heartily your plans for max

you may have the cooperation

.tives of County Councils, bankers
and county agents in all counties
comprising the Oklahoma wheat belt
have been urged to attend.
Leon Estabrook, representative of
the federal government in the distri-
button of this fund, will be present
to confer with the Oklahoma bankers
and defense workers.
This money is to be devoted to
the purchase of wheat seed which
will be loaned to those farmers Of
Oklahoma who are unable to get Gre
dit elsewhere and who can raise the
money in no other way. Oklahoma
must take a strong showing in order
to convince the government that the
State is entitled to substantial
part of this loan. The $5.O00,00O fund
is to be distributed among seven
states and Kansas has already shown
the urgency for quota of S2,500,OOO.
A large representation is expected
from the following counties:
Cotton, Tillman, Comanche, Kiowa
