BIG TULSANS
JOIN ARDMORE FIGHT
AGAINST SCRUB BULLS
w. L. LEWIS, BANKER AND
HORSE FANCIER, is
LATEST RECRUIT

Tulsa, Okla, Dec. 2S.-W. L.
Lewis, banker and saddle and har-
ness horse fancier OF this city, has
joined the forces OF K. II. McFar-
lin, II. II. Rogers, J. L. Crosbie
and other prominent oil men in the
wallop being prepared to swat
scrub bulls by the legislative knock
out being engineered by !. Robert
Gillian OF Ardmore, announced IN
The Ardmoreite several weeks ago.
at is the most progressive move
in the annals OF livestock husbandry
and unquestionably will result in
Oklahoma's setting the pace for
other states in the matter OF I'M
proved livestock production was
the exclamation offered by Mr..
Lewis for his action in having
placed an additional spike in the
glove being prepared by Gillian for
the scrubs deathblow.
That the movement started in
Ardmore is evidenced on all sides.
Pure-bred cattle breeders, farmers,
bankers and particularly oil men
are falling in line, not only in this
section, but the sentiment IN ad-
joining counties, so far as can be
learned, is in complete harmony
with the Gillian idea OF putting the
livestock industry OF Oklahoma
over the top by driving scrub breed
ing animals from the state. Con-
siderable surprise has been eX-
pressed that Mr.. Gillian, a man who
only recently has been identified
with the breeding OF registered
livestock should have the nerve to
attempt such mammoth JOB as
eliminating scrubs from the state,
but there are none who doubt his
being able to put it over.
Information from Pawhuska IS
that the Usage County Livestock
Breeders Association has endorsed
unanimously the plan OF J. Robert
CLAN to drive scrub bulls from the
state by the enactment OF a law
providing for the equitable disposi-
ton of scrubs and the convenient
acquisition of registered animals by
the men owning scrub bulls.
w. T. Leahey, Pawhuska bank
er. oldtime cattleman and presi-
dent of the farmers organization,
states that Usage county will sup
port the Gillian idea from hell to
breakfast" A resolution was passed
in appreciation OF Gilam's unseliish
activities in behalf OF the farmers
and the livestock industry OF the
stale.

Joined the Red Cross-you get
this under your mental epidermis:
The Red Cross Christmas roll
call is not failure and is not 60
ing to be a failure, but it would
have been so if all folks were like
you.
The roll call has been extended
officially all over the country un-
til the 10th of January. BY that
date every individual who can
spare ONE DOLLAR. a mere
buck, so to call it, is going to be
enrolled in the membership.
Therefore the sooner you come
in to be counted, the better-the
better for the cause, the better
for your reputation in the COM
munity, the better for your self
respect.
This is not badgering. The
Red Cross dollar is sort OF un-
official poll tax. Don't you de-
spise fellow who refuses to pay
his poll tax? But, after all, there
may be certain finicky arguments
against the imposition of the poll
tax, if you care to carry the mat
ter into the domain of the higher
criticism.
But there's no such argument,
not shred thereof, against the
imposition of the unofficial Red
Cross poll tax. This is not a mat
ter of sociology--it is a matter OF
humanity. If you were asked for
five dollars, or five hundred, it
would be different proposition.
But you are asked for only ONE

HOUSE COMMITTEE WILL
HURRY VALUATION OF
INFORMAL CONTRACTS

Washington, Dec. 2S.-To expe-
dite passage of bill validating in
formal contracts for war supplies,
the house rules committee today
voted to report a rule giving the
measure status for immediate con-
sideration. Enactment OF the bill was
urged by Secretary Baker and AS
sistant Secretaries Crowell and Stet-
tinius.
Secretary Baker said that the law
would not only permit the govern
ment to perform its just obligations,
but also be economical for the gov
ernment. He added that amazingly
little difficulty would be had in ad-
iusting the contracts with the manu-
facturers and that the department
had complete memorandum on
which the government could be pro-
tected against unjust claims.
Bankruptcy is faced by many in
dustrial concerns unless settle
ment is obtained from the govern
ment. Assistant Secretary Crowell
said. and he added that inability of
these concerns to resume work al
ready is apparent by an increasing
unemployment following the return
of discharged soldiers.

He said Berger advised him to ac-
ccpt military service and put on a

ist in Jail was of no use to the
cause. The witness said that Berger
refused to print several of his articles

Wilson Quotes Charles Lamb

The program OF the mansion
house luncheon was comparatively
informal except for the toasts.
When the aged master of ceremon-
les. in city livery and standing
behind the lord mayors chair, pro-
claimed, Your Royal Highness
addressing the Duke OF Con-
naughty. my lords, your eXcellen-
cies, ladies and gentlemen, | pray
silence for the president OF the
United States" there was a burst
of hearty, although decorous, en-
tlusiasm, with hand-clapping, way
ing OF napkins and beating OF tables.
The presidents speech was in a
tighter vein with personal touch.
He described himself not as a cold
talking machine, but with some,
thing of Scotch caution, tempered
bv laking for insurgencles when
could have no other than Celtic
origin. His explanation OF the
breaking of precedent in coming to
Europe because he thought consul
tation was a duty above all 9TH
ers, was applauded, as was his quo
tation from Charles Lamb that one
could not hate man whom ne
knew. The president spoke with
out touch OF emotion or hesi-
fancy. His only gesture was when
he spoke OF the shadow OF griet
which had been lifted from the
world.
Mrs. Wilson rose with the others
when the health of the president
was drunk. The orchestra OF the
Scots guard in the balcony above
the entrance played American airs
during the luncheon and the Ameri-
can and British anthems when the
toasts to the king and the president
Mere drunk.
What Mrs. Wilson Wore
, The lord mayor escorted Mrs
Wilson, while the president was
with the wife OF the lord mayor.
The Duke OF Connaught and Pre-
mier LLOYD George followed. Mrs.
Wilson wore a violet velvet gown
ornamented with embroidered silk
motifs OF the same tone and a velvet
toque of the same color with wings
of violet.
During the luncheon the lord
mayor proposed the health OF the
king after grace was said by Pre-
5endary Stone. The lord mayor
then proposed the health OF the
president, paying tribute to him as
a man and statesman. He declared
that his presence in Europe was
the sweeping away of policy never
before departed from on the other
side of the Atlantic. He drew at
tention to the flag presented by the
late Ambassador Page and referred
to the friendship and sympathy the
people gave to England
even before America entered the
war.
