IN APPEAL
TO STATE
Fact that County Has Exceeded Quo
ia no Excuse for Quitting Bond
Drive; Urges Roundup of
Shirkers.

Oklahoma City, Oct, 16.-"The fact
that a county has exceeded its quota
in the Fourth Liberty loan drive
should not deter local committees
from insisting upon all people doing
their share in meeting individual OBJ
legations. Those who could have
bought Liberty bonds and have fail
ed to do so or who have not bought
according to their means, must be
made to feel that they are shirkers
who are leaving their fellow citizens
to carry load which is partly theirs
Should your county be over the top
these slackers should be obliged to
do their duty from principle as well
as to provide a margin Of safety to
make up for a certain shrinkage
which ensues in all campaigns.
THE county that has already sub
scribed its minimum quota should
bear in mind that Oklahoma was
given special consideration ON ac-
count of business conditions, and
that our normal quota for the state
would have been $16,OOO,000 greater
had this not been taken into consid-
Grafton. We therefore owe it to the
states and communities where this
additional burden was placed to see
TO it that we use our best efforts
and that no citizen who is able to
buy, escapes his duty"
This is the substance Of a state
ment issued today by L. E. Phillips,
state chairman of the Fourth Liber-
ty Loan committee to the public.
Oklahoma must and will meet her
obligations in this matter, he g.
clared, but the burden should not
fall entirely on willing shoulder
Il would ask war workers in all
counties to jump into the breach
made by leaders who may have fall
en- victims to Spanish influenza and
which to supply the needs of the
other deterrent conditions" contin,
ued Mr. Phillips. GA squad of our
boys do not fall back when their
leader falls but the initiative of the
individual soldier has often non
plussed his thickheaded foe. Stand
firm in this, your crucial hour, when
with ultimate victory in sight, your
country asks you for the funds with
army.
Do not give way to apathy or tc
the pernicious Vaccinations OF an
uncompromising and relentless foe
Do not fall into the trap which
and which almost proved the undo
brought Italy TO her knees in 1917

CHAPTER 9.

The first couple of weeks that 1 was
in the Army used to think that next
to a secund lutenant a corporal had
the finest type of plain and fancy Ital-
ian marble in his dome of anybody in
the whole known world. I suppose as
class that this still holds good but now
and then g. soldier runs into some other
grade of commissioned or non-com Of
ficer that shows him a vein of marble
much harder and rarer than any ordi-
nary secund lutenant or corporal would
dare have.
We got one of these rare marble
mines right in my own company and
he is IN ordinary sergeant named Sergt.
Emil Doolittie. In fact he belongs to
my platoon and more than that he is
head of my own section.
Well. the other day our company was
sending out a detail of forty picked
men-and / want to say that they was
the finest picked men you ever saw,
eight OF them not being able to talk
English, nine being under under pun
ishnent and the rest general nuisances
and mistakes-well, he was sending
these birds to another camp to fill out
some regiments, and the Cap he in
sisted that they should be kept together
until the march for the station started.
SO he ordered Sergt. Doolittle to keep
them herded in the barrucks.

Representative Caldwe1l's Address.

Representative Caldwell. in his ad-
dress, gave figures to show what Amer
lea has done to develop the aviation
branch of its Army and denounced those
who have criticised the aviation serv-
ice as fall down."
There are more than $50 battle-
planes on the western front today

declared Mr.. Caldwell, land a thousand
other machines being used by Ameri-
can soldiers in France that were made
in this country.
when we began to prepare our avi-
alton program year ago we invited
to Washington every man who knew
anything about the subject and they
agreed that the best America could
hope to do would be to turn out 500
machines in the first year and 1900 in
eighteen months. Today we are turning
out 1900 planes every month"
When the United States entered the
war. Mr.. Caldwell said. there were
about twenty-six men in this country
who knew how to fly. Today, he said.
there are more flyers In the United
States Army than in the rest of the
world put together, and their ability
already has been recognized by our
allies.

Other Business Considered.

A resolution was adopted indorsing
the school garden movement Of the
United States bureau Of education. A
special committee Of the chamber will
be appointed to further the movement
in Washington.
The plan Of the Council Of National
Defense to establish return load bu-
reaus in all big cities was Endorsed
by the chamber, and the directors were
given power to consider the advisable
ity of establishing a return load bu-
reau In Washington. Briefly. the plan
is to have the Chamber of Commerce
get together the man who brings a
truck load of freight here from a
nearby city and the man who has an
other load to go back to that city. By
this plan, trucks run loaded both ways.
instead of wasting the energy of max
ing the return trip empty. The pur-
pose of the plan is to relieve railroad
freight congestion. Motion pictures OF
the plan In operation were shown.
A resolution was adopted thanking

tee which arranged for the showing
