Within week these men and other
men who are expected to be registered
during the next few days will be lined
up so that they will be subject to the
army calls along with other men who
were registered on June 5 of this year.
There were some interesting things
in connection with the registration of
this class of men. One young man from
the town of Bristol is going to have a
world full blossomed on his vision
probably before the end of the year.
He came hestitantly to the exemption
board on Saturday ready to do his full
part but unaccustnmed to strange
" cities and strange people. Although
born in the town of Bristol twenty
one years ago this month, his trip to
Kenosha to register on Saturday was
the realest event of his life, as it was
the first time that he had ever been to
the city. He had never seen Lake
Michigan and he told the members of
the board that in the twenty-one years
he had never been away from his home
but two nights. The young man claim
ed an industrial exemption but it is
probable that within a few weeks as
soldier he will have great introduce
ion to a new world which will contain
wonderful things for him.

was registered on Saturday. he was
among the first men to come to the

REPRESENT
CHICKASHA
AT MEETING
Donahue and HuIen Leave for Oklahoma
City to Attend Council of
Defense Session

A meeting of the State Council OF
Defense has been called at Oklaho-
ma City today and some of the local
members were requested to be there
as some very important matters were
to be taken up Viv Hulen and Will
liam H. Donahue are representing
the local organization.
1t is expected that plans for float
ing the Third Liberty loan will be
taken up at the meeting and some
definite steps will be made toward
floating the third loan.
"We have not received anything
definite as to when the Third Lib
erty loan will be made" Mr. Dona-
hue, manager of the Liberty loan
campaign in this county, said today,
I'VE thought that the third loan
would be called about the first of
February but the government here
tofore has notified the committees
that nave been in charge of the
work about a month before the loans
were 70 be floated.
"The Income tax will begin coming
in sometime in February and | am
Of the opinion that the third loan
will not be floated until after the in
come tax collections have been well
started This | think will delay the
floating of the third loan until some
time in March.
Another thing that will be taken
up at the meeting will probably be
the redistricting of the Liberty loan
districts. Heretofore this state has
Teen divided into three districts.
One was known as the Oklahoma
City district, which was composed Of
the western and southwestern part
of the state. The Tulsa district was
composed of that strip of counties
across the northern part of the state
ard extended as far west as Cimar-
ron county. The other district was
known as the Muskogee district and
this was composed of the southeast
ern counties The plan that may be
adopted will probably cut these dis
tricts down and make them smaller.
"These districts will probably be
composed of one or more counties
and where those who have been sue
cessful in putting the loans over will
no doubt be appointed as district
chairmen and the work will be con-
tinued in their hands.
"The president of the Federal Re-
serve bank for this district will pro-
tably be in Oklahoma City today and
no doubt will have some very valua-
! BILE suggestions to make relative to
what will be undertaken in a finan'
cial wag in the near future"

SUFFERING
OF STOCK
REPORTED
Cold Weather Takes Toll of Dumb Ami
mails; Many Covered by Drifting
Snow; Water Scarce

Cattle have been suffering very
much during the cold weather that
has been evident for the past week
and many were frozen to death in
the storm that swept the country last
Friday, according to reports reach.
Ing the Farm bureau The cattle
were not frozen as a direct result of
the cold weather but. they were COY.
cred uo in drifts OF snow, it was
said. Some of the farmers state that
where the cattle had gathered about
bluff they were found covered with
ten or twelve feet of snow.
Not only have cattle suffered but
all other stock as we'll The prin.
cipal trouble seems to have been
chat ths stock are unable to get wa.
ter. Ponds were very low before
the rain and since the cold weather
began the water has been frozen to
the bottom and since wells are low
as a result Of the preceding dry
weather there is hardly any water
for the cattle
Several of the farmers have lost
as many as three or four head of
cattle as result of the storm. It
Is said that where the cattle had no
place for shelter other than straw
stack or bluff they gathered
around these places and many OF
the smaller ones were covered with
the drifting snow.
Stockmen say that this has been
the worst time on cattle and other
stock in the history Of this section
of the country The east and west
roads have nearly all been made i'm
rassabe and around barns and out
houses the drifts were three or four
feet deep making it almost impossi-
hle for stock to shelter about them.
Chickens have come in on the suf.
fering also and many of the feathered
birds have been frozen where they
did not have the best of shelter. The
cold weather has also had a decided
effect on production of eggs and the
egg production has fallen off consid.
erably in the past week while pur.
chasing an egg is almost like buying
that much yellow gold However,
warmer weather is promised by the
weather man and it is thought that
things viii be back to normal within
another week.

month and to sign 10 checks in ad-
vance, which checks are turned over
to Rel Cross headquarters, to be
cashed as they become due. The
! idea in having the checks signed in
advance is that it will save much
time TO the Red Cross workers in
collecting these amounts each month.
1t is pointed out that it will save the
time that the women may put in on
the actual work of knitting and sew
ing for the organization.
Also, ii it were left up to the wo-
men to raise the necessary amuonts,
their work in the Red Cross rooms
would be greatly hindered by their
being compelled to give entertain
ments and to use other means to
raise the required amounts. 1t is
stated, however that in the event
any person does not want to sub
scribe monthly to the organization
and does not want for any reason
to sign the checks in ADVANCE their
pledge will be accepted and the com
mittee will take the responsibility
OF collecting the amounts monthly.
M. b. Humphrey of Chickasha has
been named as chairman of the com
mittee to raise this monthly fund
He states the plans are not ready
at this time, but that actual work
will doubtless be started next week
Anyone desiring complete informa-
tion on any phase of this particular
work mag address Mr.. Humphrey at

be announced later.

Take Up Plans at Meeting Today; Pur-
pose to Give Working knowledge
Of Agriculture
POSSIBLE TO GET
GOVERNMENT AID
Not Imperative That Work Be Taken Up;
Give Certain Time to Actual
Soil TiIling

Plans are now on foot to have
more attention given to agriculture
in the various schools over the coun-
ty than has ever been given before
so that the productiveness of the
country will be enhanced to such an
extent that the farmers will be able
to take care of any situation that
may arise. The plan is to give the
pupils of the schools a knowledge of
practical agriculture that they may
be able to make two ears of corn
grow where one grew before.
w. r. Curry. state superintendent
OF vocational education, is here today
and meeting was held at the coun-
ty superintendents office when a
plan was made out for the schools
whereby the work will be able to
receive federal aid. Members of the
school boards of Norge, Minco and
Amber were at the meeting and all
seemed to be in favor of taking up
the work for the next term of school.
1t is the plan Of those in charge of
the vocational training department to
make the work as practicable as pos
sible and to do away with all unnec
essary studies and devote this time
to the line of work which the pupil
desires to take preferably agricul-
ture The schools that take up the
work will be required to give at
least fifty per cent of the pupils
time TO the actual work which they
are stuCying. If in agriculture, then
a plat OF ground will have to be set
aside for the pupils to cultivate and
raise their crops on. 1t is estimated
that in order to do this the district
that takes up the work will have to
make an initial investment of about
$500 for equipment with which to car
~ on the work
1t is stated that none of the pupils
will be compelled to take up the work
o. agriculture but if they do they !
will not be required to take many
cf the other studies. Aside from the
fifty per cent of the time of the pu- |
pill that will be required for actual |
work tairty-five per cent of the re- |
time must be spent in study |
ing sciences which bear upon and |
may be applied to agriculture. This
will leave only fifteen per cent of |
the pupils time for other studies
such as the languages, English and |
other studies that have no bearing !
upon agriculture.
Certain requirements will have to
be met by the districts in which the
work Is to be undertaken. In the |
city schools where the work is to be |
taken up. certain plats of ground will
have to be provided or those who |
pursue the study will be required to
do actual work on a farm.
Where the requirements are met |
by the districts they will only be re-
CURED to pay half of the salary of |
teacher who will be employed for the |
purpose of instructing in the agri- |
cultural work. This instructor must |
be graduate of some established |
