Mr. Harvey was then introduced
and in his calm busmess-like manner
spoke in detail OF the work he hoped
I to have done and the Importance OF
the roads to the community as well
as how to build them He told Of
how, at the Amarillo convention. he
was appointed to take care Of the
eastern division of the Ozark Trails
and that Floyd Thompson of Oklaho.
ma City was delegated to look after
the southwestern division. He said
that since that time Mr.. Thompson
had gone into a business which con
sumed all of his time and that all of
the work had fallen back on him.
He said that troupfe had arisen
since the convention at Amarillo.
that at places had placed the reputa.
ton of the Ozark Trail on trial and
that much was at stake. He stated
that the question Of the location of
the Ozark Trails between Chandler
and Chickasha would be settled by a
date on March /, of this year.
Between here and there he said
there were two routes, the Central
rout which came by way Of Oklaho.
MA City and til Southern route which
went south from Chandler to Shaw
nee and thus by way Of Norman
across the Canadian river THAT
place and thence to Chickasha.
He said that where the Ozark
Trails run into the Central route at
junction points would be erected a
large cement pyramid at least twenty
feet in height upon which would be
printed all of the information of the
conditions of the various routes so
that the traveller might know which
was the better way
He said that plans for a similar
road had been made for route into
Nebraska and another for a route
into Chicago from Saint Louis This

CHAPLAlNS TELL OF FRONT
Moral and Religious Situation There
Declared to Be Excellent, and
viii Stay That Way.

Chaplans Francis b. Doherty and
Lyman Rollins have just returned
from France on q military mission to
the United States.
Chaplain Doherty Is attached to gen.
eral headquarters in France, being as
ISOLATED with Bishop Charles Ii. Brent
and Chaplain Paul Dwight Moody (son
of the well-known evangelist of that
name) in the general headquarters
chdplalns' office. The function of this
office is, declares the religious public
ity committee, the direction and dis
tribution of chaplains' activities in
France to the end of the attainment of
the best and special interests of all
concerned, under General Pershing.
This work carries with it considerable
travel and gives an intimate knowledge
of the situation from religious and
moral point of view.
From this broad knowledge Chap
lain Doherty says: Everywhere we
find the same situation, here the same
story; the condition and the spirit Of
the men are excellent" When leaving
France on his present mission the
chaplain asked General Pershing:
"May we not tell our people in Amer
lea that the moral and religious sltua-
ton here is eminently high and very
satisfactory" The reply was: "Yes
and you may say furthermore, that 1t
is going to be kept up to that"
Chaplains Doherty and Rollins spoke
enthusiastically of the altogether adj
mirable spirit of fraternity existing
between those who are ministering to
our soldiers. The Catholic chapains,
they say, are not merely looking to
the good Of the Catholic boys nor the
Protestant to that of the Protestant
boys; each is working for the best in
terest of every man.

TURNING PESTS INTO PROFITS
United States Department of Agricul.
ture Has Plans for Dealing With
the Rabbit Problem.

Fully 200,000,000 wild rabbits are
killed in the United States every year
according to estimates made by the
biological survey of the United States
department Of agriculture. Many of
them are jack rabbits, the majority of
which have not been utilized in the
past. If all the rabbits killed were
consumed, they would represent be-
tween 100000 and 100000 tons of val
liable food, and if proper measures
were taken to insure the collection of
skins, these alone would have a value
of $2O,OOO00O. The biological survey
has frequently been called upon to help
western farmers In coping with the
rabbit pest. In view Of the probable
economic value of rabbit meat and fur
in the coming few years, the energies
of the farmers and ranchmen will be
directed to the conservation of this i'm
portant resource. Already number
of establishments for collecting, dress
ing, canning, and shipping rabbit meat
are in operation in western centers. AS
In Australia the transition of the wild
rabbit In this coHntry from It's status
as pest to source of profit Is assured,

Our political speakers appeal only
to partisan feelings and your pocket

heir eloquence in an honest endeayor
to better our homes which are the
foudation stones upon which rest all
our laws and institutions, both state
and national When the homes are
right the entire country will be right.
The questions that affect the morals
and purity of our homes are the real
and vital questions. The voters who
go out from moral, pure homes, will
place moral and pure men in office,
who will give us honest and pure rail
road and tariff regulations. All we
need is moral and pure homes so as to
supply us with a majority of the yot-

Some men are too busy to give any
time to their wives and children. They
leave home early in the morning, stay
away all day and come back at night
filled with worldly cares. morose and
uncommunicatiye, If it is ever sug-
gested to them that they are doing
wrong, they justify themselves on the
ground that it is necessary for them
to make a living, and that this leaves
them no time for other things Usually
the plea is without foundation, for it
is not merely a comfortable living that
they are seeking after but the accum-
ulation of needless wealth. Any man
that is too busy to be a gentleman
in his manners and a christian in his
spirit within the circle of his own
home is buster than he ought to be.

HOME CIRCLE COLUMN.

While living is the time to bestow
your love. Don't wait until the loving
heart has ceased its beating and the
tired feet are still to tell them you
love them. What can they know of
your words-of love, and praise, tears
and grief? Give me all the love you
have for me while I'm living; it will
help us to bear the weary burdens
that come on so thick and fast. In the
home more especially is this true. The
poor tired wife is the pack-horse.
Without one loving word, she tolls day
by day, raises the little children,
cares for the sick, until it seems as if
the delicate form could bear no more.
Never comes a word of praise for try
ing to do her best. Yet there comes
day when the feet 81 no more in the
home, the voice is still there is a deep
solemnity all over the place. Some
thing is gone. What is it? l might say
your pack-horse-yet I'll use the name
that should be sweetest. Darling
Mother"-has gone Life is blank;
wife, my love, my life, has left me!
All, me- home will never be what ii
has been; mother and wife have left
us! If you could only say also, Il never
gave her anything but loving words of
praise, encouragement l lifted every
burden could from her slight should
ers." Instead you generally howl with
grief because your wife has gone, and
there is no one to pack all the hard
work on, or scold for everyone's
faults.

The children whose horizon is a

When a man has established home,
has a wife and children, the most i'm

begun. The errors of his youth may be
obliterated, the faults of his early days
may be overlooked, but from the mo-

write an neffable history; not by pen
and ink, but by deeds, by which he
must ever afterwards be reported and
judged.
