BROTHER OF LOCAL MAN IS
HONORED FOR BRAVERY IN
ACTION ON RHEIMS FRONT

For remaining at his post of duty
in the midst of shot and shell,
when his patients and his attendants
were being killed round about him,
Dr. Frank McGregor, of Mangum,
brother of p. H. McGregor Of the
Chickasha Cotton Oil Company, has
been awarded the British medal for
bravery, and ciCL1 for special com
mendation by his superior officers
The story is related by Percy Noel,
special British war correspondent.
He compares this bravery with the
habit-of the German physicians who
apparently have the habit of running
away and leaving their wounded 10
die when danger approaches. The
following is the story of Mr.. Noel:
"The other day at Achiet-le-Grand
saw about fifteen dead Germans ly-
ing on stretchers in a very substan-
tial stone building which had been
made bomb proof by concrete for the
protection of the German medical of.
ficers. The dead men showed no
signs of having been killed by the
o~closion of the shells that had fall
Ell around the dressing room. Ap-
parently they had died from their
wounds and want of attention before
the British took the town. Several
were partly stripped and the wound
dressings were only half completed
There were no dead German medical
corps men in the vicinity, so the

fully south of the Rheims the last
week in July, acted quite differently
from those Germans. Shells fell about

Lieut.. Frank Harrison McGregor,

citation which reads as follows;

played the greatest devotion to duty
and on the 23rd, 300 casualties pass

established i'm the open. Although his
orderlies and the men he were at
tending we're killed ariund him he

That at least fifty per cent Of the
membership Of Chickasha churches
are suffering from "protracted in
fancy" in their spiritual makeup
and are busy trimming oilless lamps
as the five foilish virgins, was the
opinion expressed by DIR. e. ]. Bull

Or. Bulgin spoke last night to the
biggest audience that has turned out
81 ce Sunday In dealing with the
TOPIC Poor Fiolish, Silly Girls" the
speaker presented in the form Of a
parabolic lecture strong attack
against procrastination in religion,
rapping the man who lives with the
intent of burning out his candle with
the Devil and blowing the SCOT in
Gods face Character and patience
are things which may not be trans
ferred while man tries to fight his
neighbors spiritual battles. DR.. Bull
gin pointed out.
Basing his discourse on the parable
of the ten virgins who went out to
meet the bridegroom with trimmed
lamps, the revivalist said in open
ing: 81 love to read the story of the
ten virgins and to me it will always
be sweet though the infidels and free
! thinkers attack it with criticisms.
MY Interpretation of the story is
that it is a character parable. The
famous infidel. Bob Ingersoll, ques-
toned the story of the wedding that
lasted nutil after midnight but its
truth is backed up by history. A par
able is a story that is true-a fable
is untrue. In this parable we must
remember tho speaker, the one spok-
en- to, tho purpose of the speech and
the customs of the age.
81 have heard Ingersoll refer to
the Bible story of heaping Goals on
neighbor's head, calling il tom
foolery. But the Lord did mean AZ,
tual 1.-Two Goals, though we must rB-
fer to the customs Of carrying fire in
box on the head for the purpose OF
baking bread in a community oven
before we can understand the Ferna'
cular of that age. Bob Ingersoll was
a great big fool and didn't know what
he was talking about.
In studying the parable we must
go back to the history of the old
Jews and find out how and why
they did things over there. The
church is represented by the virgins
parable as being completely asleep

man of the Express, was spending the
night with friend, leaving the
house vacated. When Mr. Patrick re-
turned to the house this morning he
found it in great disorder. Buffet
and dresser drawers, together with
their contents, were scattered about
the rooms. AS far as has been
checked up this morning, nothing has
been found missing except watch

War Savings Stamps OF these Mr..
Greek lost $235. worth and Mr.. Pat
rick $8S worth.
Upon learning of the robbery by
phone early this morning, Mr.. Greek
returned to Chickasha. Mrs. Greek
stated that doubtless the burglar was
frightened away, for laundry bag

purpose of carrying away silyerware
and cut glass. None Of the glass or
silver was disturbed, however.
This completes string of burgla-
ries for every night this week, except
