FOR
Circuit Clerk

To the Voters Of Pulaski County:
Clerical capacity is not confined to
any one man or set of men. Sasisfac-
tory salaries will secure the services
of many good men. For that reason
no county officer is entitled to an Of
flee simply because he has employed
an efficient force of clerks. That is
his duty, and If he failed to employ
men of ability he would not perform
his duty toward the public. / claim
that long years of service have
equipped me for clerical work, and
that am as capable of selecting COM
petent assistants as anyone else That
is one reason I am asking the nomi-
nation for Circuit Clerk. If elected
the people will have the benefit of nay
personal services, as well as those
of able assistants J. e. CHRISP.

HEALTH or Orr SOLDIERS

With the large and constantly in
creasing number of Oklahoma boys
drawn into the service. the question
of their health becomes more and
more vital. 1t is recognized that
our soldiers must run the risk OF
war. but many mothers and other
relatives are worried lest. aside
from the danger of shot and shell,
conditions in the camps should be
such as unduly tn endanger their
health. These fears are unfounded.
The health OF soldiers is better than
that of civilians. In no city in the
world are general health conditions
so good as in our camps.
This not matte rof luck and
chance. II is due to carefully stud
led and strictly enforced precau-
tiOns.
The Government has made an es-
pecial appeal to civilian communi-
ties, in fact to eevry patriotic citi-
zen, to aid in protecting our soldiers
agains venereal diseases. There have
been many exaggerated statements
made as 30 tie prevalence OF such
diseases among our soldiers and
sailors. As matter of fact. cOndi-
tiOns in this respect are much better
in the army and navy than in civil
life.-Dr. W. II. Duke. Health Com
missioner for State of Oklahoma

FARM AGENTS COLVMN
(By County Agent c. W. Brown

Several patches OF potatoes in the
ncighborhood of Durant are just
about destroyed by potato beetles.
This should not be allowed. ~ you
know that these beetles buryiv and
next year will rcappear to destroy
next years crop?
About four hundred club members
attended the rally last Friday. We
hope the boys and girls enjoyed the
occasion as much as we did.
war garden for every child and
bird-house for every garden should
be the slogan of Oklahoma.
Woodpeckers and their feathercd
allies will protect orchards from the
ravages Of the tent catapillar. II
homes are provided for buebirds
and wrcns the garden will not be bo-
htered with SO many insects. A
grasshoppcr will eat several times
its own weight in grain each day.
and on an average meadow lark
will eat thirty-seven grasshOppers n
day. The Audubon Society esti-
mates that the quails of Virginia and
North Carolina eat 1241 tons OF
weed seed annually. Save the birds
and you will increase your yield OF
! farm crops
Farmers should see their district
! chairmen and arrange meetings in
every school district to discuss labor
problems. Those who do not attend
will certainly have no kick coming
IL they get no help. Cooperation is
the watchwOrd for the farmer today.
The Boys Working Reserve Is
ready to serve the farmers. Remem-
ber, farmers. that these boys are
not seasoned hands, but they are
ready to do their best, and as they
are the best we have, 1t is good
judgment to see to II that they be-
come seasoned and hardened with
out seeking to drive them.
The war has put extra work on all
Government employees, as we'll as
on everyone else. If the county
agent and home demonstration ag-
ent do not get to call on you, you
should call on them when you need
their services.
