Ping Bodie Is one of the New York
Yankees heaviest batters. Miller
Higgins seems to be getting more
baseball out of him than did any other
manager. Bodie was with the White
Sox for some time and was criticized
so extensively by the press and his
manager that he was unable to play
to the true worth of his talent. He

Dearest Friends of Knowles:

sent me Christmas and want to thank
all Of you for your kind remem-
brance Of the boys Of your vicinity
| also thank you for the small kit you
sent me some time ago. 1t sure came
in handy as a soldier has all of his
own sewing to do. such as sewing on
buttons, etc, etc, and It comes in
handy all the time.
Well. l haven't left for France yet
but think we will go before long. and
IL so may not come back. II not you
can all say the boys of your home
town went against the wheel with
both shoulders and did their little
bit.
Well. dear friends OF Knowles, !
would like to see you all some time
and be one Of you again but will have

LET'S GROW SOME SHEEP

For the past three years | have
been interested in organizing a
Beaver County Boys and Girls Sheep
club, but until recently have not
been able to do so, primarily because
suitable sheep for this work could
not be had in sufficient quantities
without shipping them in from other
states or other sections of this state.
There are, however. now in Beaver
county some two hundred or more
last springs eve lambs that are suit
able for sheep club work. and | am
very anxious to see them all taken
up by Beaver county boys and girls
who will then organize into Sheep
club, and learn something of grow
ing and handling this animal. which
is easily one of the most profitable
forms of farm livestock.
These lambs are high-grade Ram
boullet stock, western grown, and are
excellent animals for the farm boys
and girls of Beaver county to start
in business with, as they are high
producers of very fine grade Of
wool.
They should not be bred until this
fall, and this fact will give the boys
and girls chance to learn something
about sheep this year. so they will
know better how to handle and care
for their sheep when their first
lambs come In the spring of 1919.
Any Beaver county boy or girl who
is not less than ten years old nor
more than eighteen. is eligible to join
the Sheep club, and all that is neces-
sary is that each one secure at least
two head of eve lambs or sheep and
enroll their names as sheep club
members with the County Agent, and
they will receive instructions in the
care and handling of sheep from the
animal husbandry department OF the
Oklahoma A. & NJ. College. and from
the United States Department OF Agri-
culture, free of charge.
These eve lambs can be had at
prices that will prove a profitable in
yestment, and want to ask all
Beaver county boys and girls who
are interested in growing some sheep
to either write me or come and see
me- about II. and ! will help them to
get some of these sheep.
Don't delay about Il for the sheep
will not last long.

RED CROSS TO HELP
FAMILIES SECURE
GOVERNMENT BENEFITS

A group of lawyers in Washington
are making a practice of watching
the government reports telling about
the death or injury of a soldier or
sailor and then writing the nearest
relative and asking such relative to
employ them as their attorney or
claim agent. The Home Service sec
tion OF the Red Cross chapter in this
county wants all the families OF their
enlisted men to know that the en-
ployment OF such attorney or claim
agent is not necessary and that they
are prepared to tell the families
everything necessary should death or
injury to a loved one occur. The
Home Service section will be pre-
pared to tell what financial compen-
sation will be made to the family,
how il can be obtained. and will
supply the family with the necessary
forms to make the application.
BY utilizing this proffered service
- - - DobA--hiN W Nht
lily on account OF the death or injury
OF a loved one will be received by
them and not spent for unnecessary
attorneys or claim agents fees.
The Home Service section has made
a special study OF the War Insurance
bill which makes provision for SOL
diers allotments. allowances, injury
compensation and death benefit. They
receive all the latest rulings of the
War Insurance. Bureau. Also they
are prepared to correctly answer a
great many questions that every SOL
dier or sailors family is anxious
about.
They have an Office at the County
Judges Office at the court house. The
chairman OF the Home Service Sec
tion is John A. Spohn.

TINE LIMIT FOR
WAR INSURANCE
FIXED APRIL f2

That every Oklahoma boy who has
enlisted In the army or navy should
protect himself and his dependents
against the III fortunes OF war is the
purpose Of the Oklahoma State Coun-
ell Of Defense.
War life insurance is issued on a
basis so cheap that a large sum Of
money must be made up by the fed
eral treasury to pay the difference
between the regular premium and
incidentals and the sum which the
soldiers and sailors are asked to pay.
II is the desire Of the government
that every man take out the full
amount, $4,000, not only for the
protection OF relatives but for his
own protection in case he is per-
manently disabled.
The time limit has been extended
from February IL to April IL.

BIG SHIPMENT OF
KNITTED GOODS


Mrs. w. F. Carson. chairman of
Red Cross knitting for Beaver county
chapter. reports another big shipment
OF knitted goods. In the shipment
was the following:
Beaver branch: / sweaters, 13
helmets, muffler, 35 pairs socks, IL
pairs wristlets.
Knowles branch: 13 sweaters, IL
pairs socks.
Balko branch: sweaters. 4 he'll

Floris branch: sweaters, 2 pairs
socks, 2 pairs wristlets.
In justice to some of the branches
that do not appear on the above list
and others, whose output is small
will say that this is due in large
part to their inability to supply yarr
to knitters. Calls for yarn that can
not be filed are constantly on file II

THE POLAND CHINA HOG

A few reasons why the Poland
China breed is popular among breed
ers, stockmen and farmers:
A carload OF Poland Chinas averag-
ing 305 pounds at 10 months old
topped the market at Omaha Feb
ruary Is, 1918.
At the National Western Stock
Show In Denver. 25 Poland China
barrows sold for 33c per pound. aver
aging 26S pounds or $SS.44 per head
AZ months old or under.
Carter a. Van Deventer OF Mex
leo. Mo-, sold Al head of Poland
China brood sows at auction for
s2S.O2O. averaging $6S3.4O per head.
Peter Mouw, OF Orange City, Iowa,
sold a Poland China boar for $4,000
the highest price ever paid for a
hog.
At the National Swine Show in
Omaha, the Poland China out
weighed all other breed OF hogs.
The Poland China has been bred
for so years and are past the experi-
mental stages. IL you are looking
for some of the popular hogs come
and see my herd of Poland Chinas.
| have been buying stock from the
corn belt in the north (the home OF
the best hogs) and from breeders
who have had 40 years of experience.
The most popular blood lines and
some of the most prominent breeders
names appear on the pedigree of my
hogs.

Certain articles OF diet tend to
check movements OF the bowels. The
most common OF these are cheese. tea
and boiled milk. On the other hand
raw fruits, especially apples and
bananas, also graham bread and
whole wheat bread promote a move
ment OF the bowels. When the
bowels are badly constipated, how
ever, the sure way is to take one or
two of Chamberlain's Tablets imme-
diately after supper.

A. G. Skinner returned the first of
the week from Camp Bowie. Texas,
at which place he visited with his son
Seth who is in training there. Mr..
Skinner reports Seth as feeling fine
and that all the boys are ready and
anxious to go across. He was much
impressed with the air service and
said 1t was a wonderful sight to sec
so many airplanes flying here and
there, as gracefully and as much at
ease as bird. The other work of
the camp was also interesting to him.

HOME SERVICE OF A. II. G.
VITAL PART OF WORK


"The Home Service" OF the Amer
lean Red Cross is a vital part OF its
program. Governments have in past
wars given little or no attention to
the suffering soldiers and their fam
HES. The idea OF an organization
for the purpose OF ministering to such
needs was conceived only half a cen
tury ago and in the present world
conflict the United States has wisely
delegated this work to the American
Red Cross.
There are two questions which
every army asks when they are at
the front. First. Is the nation as a
whole behind us? Second, are our
folks at home being cared for?
These two questions must be an
swered satisfactorily to maintain an
efficient fighting forces The Ameri-
can Red Cross through its Home
Service Section is giving answer to
the second question in particular.
The Home Service department OF
the Beaver county chapter OF the
American Red Cross is now duly or
ganized with the undersigned as
chairman. and good live worker
In each branch throughout the county
as members OF the committee. and
this Home Department committee
stands ready to assist the home folks
in every way possible. who have mem
bers OF their families in the service.
In cases OF financial or business diff
ficulties, sickness, failure to receive
allotment, questions concerning the
soldiers insurance or in any cases
Of any kind where aid is needed by
the home folks, where the support of
that home is In the service, refer the
matter to some member OF the Home
Service section OF the Red Cross, and
II possible, aid will be given.
Some may not know that the
United States has worked out an in
surance plan, whereby every man in
the active service of the United
States, during the war may carry not
TO exceed $4,000 insurance and at a
very reasonable rate, when the risk
is taken into consideration. For in
stance man OF 80. without physical
examination, may carry insurance at
the rate OF 60 cents per thousand.
which upon his becoming disabled
would pay him 1915 for each thou
sand dollars he carried. during his
life, or upon his death would pay TO
his beneficiary s5.75 per thousand
dollars he carried for a period of 90
years, less any amount he had drawn
down because OF his own disability.
The rate of premium varies accord
ing to the age OF the insured. but only
slightly. A soldier only has 800
days from the time he enters the
service to take out insurance.

II people past sixty years OF age
could be persuaded to go to bed as
soon as they take cold and remain
