retary Daniels denies the charge in a
letter in the March Womans Home

The navy department does, oI
course, furnish necessary clothing for

forts which are provided by the wo-
men, working through the Red Cross
naval auxiliary, are very acceptable
to the men in the service and, in add

the men are cheered by the knowledge
that the women at home have them in

NJ and Rowdy did not 90 around
N to see the siSter-in-law's baby
this morning when my father
and Rowdy and me had fed our faces.
asked my father how long It was going
to take for the baby to grow up till it
was as old as me and he said quite a
while, and then he said that when it
got as old as me ! would be twice as
old as II, so ! said | guessed it never
would catch up with me, and his eyes
looked kinda twinklish and he said he
didn't know about that, he said when
the baby is one year old will he about
nine times as old but when it is two
years old will only be five times as
old and when II is four years old |
will only be about three times as old,
and then | told him | was going to get
pencil and find out Just how old |
would be before II caught up TO me. but
he said | had not been to school long
enough to be able to figure that ont /
know now why my mother which art
IN heaven wants me to have an educa-
tlon and | am going to 60 right ahead
and get il, but il is going to be so long
before the baby can play basketball
and climb trees that | don't believe |
am going TO waste time on it, at least
as much time as | have.
When | came away my own true
daddy was out in the backward digging
up the ground to make a garden, and
the Wells kids was all waiting for me
when i got up to the corner going to
school and Norcen said, Patsy, how
would YOU get down off an elephant"
and | had been on an elephant once In
a circus so | said THAT is easy, the
elephant knecls down and then he
reaches up with his trunk and lifts you
down" She said "No, that amt right"
and clapped her hands. "All right" I
said, how would you get down off an
elcphant?' She said ~ would not get
down off an elephant. | would get down
of a goose" and then they all hoIered
and laughed, and ! laughed too Just to
let them see that | am a good sport.
but II that is a Joke there is not any
sense in it, | could step over a goose,
and then they all ran for school and
| could see that they had got done with
me and Rowdy so me and Rowdy went
over on the other side of the street and
ram faster than they did and got to
school first, there would not be much
fun playing with kinds like that any
how, would not want to be laughing
all the time when there is not anything
to laugh at.
The Oklahoma City times. [volume] (Oklahoma City, Okla.) 1908-1984, 1918-03-18

WHEN school was out me and
w Rowdy stood in front OF the school
quite a while and if anyone had wanted
us to play with them we would have
been right there where they could have
found us but they didn't stop and when
they had all gone We looked around TO
make up our minds where we had ought
to go, and it was kinda warmish AMI
the sun was shining and we hked along
and came to the place out by the river
where learned myself to swim, and
the water is warmer than it has been ali
winter and there are buds on the bushes
and on the trees and it certainly felt
like swimmy weather so me and
Rowdy went in but the river was not as
warm as it looked at first, but when
we had been in a while it was warmer

so swan acrosSt and back and

Rowdy played hide and seek around
the bushes and he likes to play that, he
nearly bsrN his head off when he
finds ME and he looks so ashamed
when ! find him that hardly ever do
It. then ] walked on my hands a little
while and turned over endways. and
then ! clumb up a high tree and made
up a song to my mother which art in
heaven and hollered il so loud that |
bet her and the other angels heard me
easy and then when | was coming
down | heard a wagon and | looked
down and there was a man IN a wagon
and he was driving two horses, and he
smiled at me and smiled at him and
he said Where is that mockingbird !
heard singing" ] said, 81 didn't hear
no mockngbird," then he asid "Were
YOU singing9," and when / said was
he slapped his knee and said that must
have been what he heard and he asked
me Rowdys name and knew right
away that he was not going to try to
steal Rowdy the way some men have
tried,
II KINDA like to have folks steal
Rowdy because they get so anxious
to unsteal him before they get done
with It that Il is fun, but like to meet
men that don't1want to steal him and
he asked nlf my name and my fathers
name and thcn ] told him my mother
was in heaven he said, "Ain't that fine |"
and then he asked me il wouldn't
come to see him some time and |
would go right then, and that made him
laugh out loud, and he said he was on
his way to town but Just to prove to
me that he meant it he would 90 right
back home, and | got in the wagon and
he let me sit on the Springy end OF the
seat and we drove quite ways, and
then he drove right through the river
and | never had done that before, and
he said This is a ford" said Ford
nothing, ! guess | know a Ford. This
IS nothing but wagon" Then he
laughed louder than ever and said he
would have to tell his wife about that,
and then he said that the place we went
across the river was called a ford, and
it is a place where the water is thin
and runs over stones and | said guess
it was called a Ford because il made so
much noise. And then he said, "Oh,
Patsy Kildare, YOU are a jewell And
then we got to his house which is
little house through woods and on
a hill by the river and a woman came
out and wanted to know why he was
home so soon and ne said he came home
because he forgot whether he had
kissed her goodbye or not, and then he
told her all about me, and she gave
me a hug and made me stay to supper
and did and so did Rowdy and they
both took me home in the big wagon
when IL was bedtime, and | asked them
il they wanted to hear me pray and
they said they did so | did and they
did and they kneelcd down and got up
when | said Amen and the man said
that was a sure enough prayer, and
then they went away and me and
Rowdy went to bed, and this was q
good day. Amen But they haven't got
any kids for me to play with, darn II.
