"Tulsa's record OF more men and
more money to help win the war

total for eighteen months contrib
uted TO war purposes and invested in
Liberty bonds, exceeded $4,000, 900,
making Tulsa the only million a

mcnts as follows:
"On June the embargo on house

cert to give the proper impetus to the
shipbuilding program-their work
was constructive and American to the
core. At all times the newspaper
workers, from the managing editor to
the reporter, displayed an intense, pa
triotic desire to aid in making the
work of the emergency fleet corpor-
alton a success.
