their soldiers abroad are doing.
In giving out the teyt of the state
ment, Secretary Baker could not Say
definitely that one would be forthcom-

General Pershing.
AS to the military situation in the
two sectors held BY American troops,
the communique was exceedingly
brief. Increased activity on both
sides, both north of Toul and in Lor-
raine were noted, with the comment
nothing else of Importance to re-
port" Most of the statement was de-
voted to official accounts of the dar-
ing and enterprise of American Off

Army officers here hope that while
General Pershing may as yet feel that
it would be improper for him to issue
formal statements as to operations,
where his forces are holding sectors
in French corps or army fronts, he
will be able to follow up todays pro-

AMERICA FACES
GREATEST TASK

The problem of building up food
reserves that will permit the sending
of 100000 tons OF foodstuff acre /
the Atlantic next year is the situati,
facing America, according to c. b.
Ames, federal administrator for Ok
lahoma, home from his conference at
Washington with Herbert Hoover and
other state food administrators.
America has her greatest duty to
perform during the coming year, for
in addition to supplying food for her
own army, she must take care of the
greater part of the needs of the Al
lies" Judge Ames said.
America will have an army of
100000 men in Europe by June. Sub
stantial rations must be supplied for
these men and there must be sufficient
reserve supplies at ali times"
This year America is sending
10,0O0,000 tons Of food across the At
lantic. The minimum requirement
for next year will be 15,0O0,0Q0 tons,
it was said at the Washington confer
ence. This means that not only must
SO per cent more food be sent but so
per cent more shipping made avail
able.
1T is up to all good Americans to
tighten their belts, eat less and work
harder to the end that our armies and
those Of our Allies be fed" Judge
Ames said.

NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC

We, the undersigned physicians of
Grady county, wish to announce to
the public, that the former charges
for our medical services are no long
er sufficient to cover the increased
cost of living and the great increase
in the cost of all medicines, drugs
and other materials used in our work
The following increased prices,
which have been in effect and charg-
ed by. most members for some time
will be continued until further no.
tice:
Calls, in the city or town, until 10
p. m, $500.
Calls, in the city or town, after 10
p m, $500.
Calls, in the country, InfTT TO p III,
$3.50 mile.
Calls. in the country after 10 p m,
$500 a mile.
For Obstetrics, in the city or town,
there will be minimum charge of
$500.
For Obstetrics, in the country,
there will be minimum charge of
$25.OO and $15O mile.
Anesthetics $1,000, consultations,

All office work, prescriptions, etc,
will be increased in price proportions

For the protection of the public
and those of our profession, who
have entered the services of our gov
ernment and who will enter, we feel
that all charges, for medical services,
to those who are able and can pay,
and all bills due physicians viii have
to be paid or arranged for, before the
services Of another physician can be
secured.
We feel that this action is neces-
sary as nearly all are now paying
cash or its equivalent for all the com
modities.
