when my own true daddy got
home this morning which was
Thursday and only one more day after
this till' It is Saturday and no school,
and he gave me push that turned me
over on the bed and Rowdy growled at
him and | threw pillow at him and
he spanked me and then | soaked him
with another pillow and then he went 20
sit down on the edge OF the bed and the
bed was not where he thought 1t was
so he kept sitting down TIL he hit the
floor and he hit it good and hard, and
we were both laughing and Rowdy was
jumping around and barking his head
off. and then we heard someone holler
At the stair door and we Id been max
ing so much noise we could not hear
anyone coming IN and it was Worlcy
and she said she would get our break
fast while | was getting dressed, and
MY own true daddy sald ii that was the
case he would take shave, SO dressed
and he did, and even then breakfast
was not done, because Worley said she
was baking a pan OF biscuits, and she
talked about the new boardcr all the
while We were eating and She SAID
that he has stopped looking at her and
now he is making google eyes at Mrs
Pickle Face, and he said TO her last
night "Are you a widow or have you
husband" She said: "Why do YOU
want to know ?" He said "l don't
seem to sense that you are a widow
and still ! cannot sense man about
YOU. and If you have a husband | am
sure that YOU have nothing in common
with him and that YOU cannot expand

coughed so that he would know that
she was listening and he said, Did
you ever see so many starsG and then
he went in and went to bed, and my
father asked how Nrs. Pickle Face was
taking it and she said she was rolling
up her eyes and looking like a picked
fish the most OF the time and she did
not know how many kinds OF fool pco-
pie there are in the world TIL she came
to a big city, and my father smoked
his pipe for while and then he said
all the kinds OF fool people were not
in the cities. and then he asked II Mrs.
Pickle had heard from Mr. Pickle, and
then she got excited and said
she had and that he had made
good and had signed up con,

that he was sending some money TO

But buy because your soul needs
the quickening influence of wider
conception of liberty and humanity
and civilization. And the more
freely you buy the greater will be
the enobling Of your own soul. You
will be helping yourself, and In that
way you will at the same time be

Buying Liberty Bonds is to save
your wife. your mother. your daugh-

women can suffer, as in Belgium and

and your nation from destruction.

ATTENTION, ALL SUBSCRIBERS.

Obeying the orders of the Post
office Department, no papers can be
sent to subscribers after October 1st
unless the subscription is paid in
advance. Neither can any free copies
be sent nor exchanges be made be-
tween papers unless the subscription
has been paid.
A publisher is also prohibited
from furnishing free copies to ad-
vertisers for proof Of publication,
except in the case of legal advertis-
ing.
These orders are promulgated by
the Government in order to conserve
the paper supply, and the publisher
has no discretion is the matter.
Just as fast as possible we shall
mail out statements to our subscri-
bers, and by prompt reply you will
not miss any cipies on account Of
delinquency. This means the placing
of our list on cash-in-advance basis,
which is better for the paper and the
subscriber. Will you please respond
promptly upon receiving your state
ment, for we know you want the
paper and certainly we wish to keep
you on the list.
Remember the newspapers are
doing their patriotic duty, and just
now their struggle is not altogether
easy. This paper has been compelled,
in order to meet the ascending scale
OF prices in all lines, to advance its
subscription price SO cents on the
year. This is hardly sufficient per
cent in raise to meet the require
ments but it will have to suffice.
You appreciate our situation, and
you will not hesitate to give US
lift, that we may be able to maintain
our present standard of efficiency.

DO YOUR SHARE.

Although the sheer weight of
Americas millions of troops will be
sufficient to crush the Hun back of
the Rhine and batter down upon the
Kaiser's ears the remnants of the
world crown he thought to wear, 1t
is not the numbers, but typical
American mobility, which has saved
the day for the entente thus far.
Wilhelm and the German General
STAG, admitting the gigantic re-
sources of the United States, made
the error of calculating in years in
stead of weeks the time necessary
for the shaping of those resources
for war purposes.
The day that we entered the war,
scores of our feet destroyers sped
east across the Atlantic. To ship,
they reported upon arrival at British
naval bases, Ready for action"
When continued losses by sub
marines seemed likely to make good
the German threat to starve Eng
land, Schwab turned a hundred ship
yards loose on shipbuilding pro-
gram such as the widest optimist
had not dreamed possible.
American railroad men built 1000
miles of track in France; hundreds
Of huge warehouses were erected;
mountains of food, munitions and
other supplies we're landed.
When the German masses, re-
leased from all Eastern fronts, began
their ominous drive through Picardy,
American troops, months in advance
even of the hurry-up American pro-
gram, began to pour through the
nhannel gateways, and the Hun was
held, then driven back.
Thus American ability to con-
centrate quickly its war efforts on
any given point on the enemy line
has foiled every Hun attempt
whether by sea or land.
A really great demonstration of
this American faculty will be given
in the Fourth Liberty Loan. Con-
fronted with the necessity of raising
war loan of twice the size of any
of its epoch making predecessors,
we are called upon to finish the task
in three weeks.
Only for the full and united
effort of every man, woman and child
in the United States can this great
feat be completed in the time set. 1t
is as certain that it will be completed
successfully as that the grim courage
Of America on French battlefields
will continue to batter back the Hun.
Be sure to do YOUR share.

SMALLPOX
SITUATION
GOODHERE

That the small pox situation ir
Chickasha is much improved, was
the statement OF Dr. e. L. Dawson
city health superintendent this
morning. He states that there are
at this time five cases of small pox
in the city.
The city health officer points out
however, that there is still danger,
mainly in the fact that the disease
may yet spread. While the number
Of cases are greatly decreased, from
them an epidemic could grow and
for this reason DR.. Dawson is urging
that every precaution be taken in
order to keep the disease in check.
"The way to check the disease and
keep it checked, if to be vaccinat-
ed" said DR.. Dawson. Vaccination
is the only prevention of small pox.
No one knows when they are apt to
take it. or how l say, help win the
war BY being vaccinated7
