PEACE TREASON.

Boston Eveneing Transcript
Peace talk on the Allies side at
this juncture is not cowardice mere
w. but treason. 1t is a direct assist
ance to the enemy. 1t is fire in the
rear against the brave French,
British, American and Italian
soldiers who are fighting their way,
inch by inch, through the woods
between the Marne and the Aisne.
In the Particular, Lord Lans-
downe and his companions in their
small conference at London have be-
Titled the conscience and insulted
the purpose of the American people,
who have not entered this great
struggle for the mere sake of making
an empty demonstration of their
might. but with the intention OF aid
ing decisively in the overthrow for
ever OF the Hohenzollern despotism.
America has put her hand to the
plow and will not look back until
the furrow is run through. Only
by that through dispatch of their
work to the very end will the
American people be "fit for the king
dom of God" and they all know IT.

To Chairmen and Secretaries Coun-
ty Councils of Defense in lick
Infested Areas:
The Oklahoma State Council OF
Defense regards the eradication OF
the cattle tick which conveys dis
ease that kills thousands of beet pro-
ducing animals and makes scrubs
of all in the quarantined area, most
important food conservation meas
ure. AT it's regular meeting on Sat.
urday, July 9TH, the State Council
nassed a resolution directing coun.
tv councils to indorse the action OF
state and federal agents in their
work and to aid and cooperate with
them in carrying it out in every way
possible. -,
This work is being carried on
Jointly by the Government and S.ale
by methods prescribed by the GoV-
ernment. Fifty-two per cent OF the
original quarantined area OF lhe
United State quarantined tor ticks
has already been cleaned up and re-
leased from quarantine.
Congress, recognizing the import
ance of the work as food conser-
vation measure has provided addi,
tiona' funds to rush it. 1t is hoped
that no misguided citizen, for reas-
ons which may appear to him OF per-
sonal Importance, will, in any way
lend himself to the creation of any
opposition to this important 1000
conservation measure, which Will
also contribute very materially 10
the prosperity OF the State.
Yours very truly,

CONVICTS MAY WORK TO
RELIEVE LABOR SHORTAGE

Washington, Aug. 22.-Employ-
ment OF prison labor to aid in
counteracting the shortage OF men
needed to carry on necessary war
work was recommended to congress
in resolution adopted by the war

that the prisoners work only under
agreement between the federal gov

under private contract. They would
work the same hours and receive
the same pay as free laborers in the
vicinity.

waste the country they abandoned
with a thoroughness which called
to mind the ravage OF the desert

horse had trod.
They wrecked every house and

ASKED TO PUSH
 HOME GARDEN PLAN
Letters Sent Out to the Recently Or
 ganized War Bureaus.

In a letter addressed to the recently organized war bureaus, of the state council of defense, Senator c. c. Hem enway, chairman of the department of home gardens of the committee of food supply of the state council of defense, asks that immediate steps be taken to push the home garden move ment where it is not organized at the present time.
 Information which the home gar dens department has obtained during the past few weeks indicates hearty response to statewide appeals which have been made for increased garden activity this year. Hartford has or ganized the work under the direction of an executive committee and man has been hired to give his entire time to the supervision of the garden work. An appropriation of $500 has been asked to finance the supervision and the general management of the work and 300 acres of land are either pre- pared for seeding or are in a condi- tion where work will begin the mo- ment the frost is out of the ground. Practically all of this allotment of land will be utilized for adult gardening. Bridgeport is organized in much the same way and has asked for S4.500 to support the work. The latest commu- nifty which the committee has heard from is Danielson, which declares they
 will take very definite action in order that the home gardens in their section may be cared for.
 The childrens gardens will be made a separate feature this year under the
 direction of the Junior Food Army
 which will supervise all activities of
 the boys and girls in the state. Pro- vision has been made whereby any

Without their good hGp we would not have a fighting chance of going over the top Our teams are hard at work, the field has been nearly covered, and though we are still far from the front line, we are not dis couraged. Instead, we are making more determined efforts to accomplish our purpose.
