GOVERNOR ROBERTSON
ASKS VOL LUN TEERS TO
WORK IN COAL MINES
Special TO The Ardmoreitc)

oklahoma City, Nov. 29.-For
the sole purpose Of securing coal
for fuel and not for the purpose
Of taking sides in the strike contro-
versy, it has been decided to call
for volunteer workmen to man the
strip pits and other mines in the
state. 1t is The wish Of the under
signed, concurred in by the state
council of defense, that those able
bodied men in the state who are
willing to assist in operating the
mines notify c. G. Nesbitt, who
has been designated to act in the
capacity, at once by phone at
Maple 24oO, State Capitol, or by
telegraph or otherwise, and all
arrangements for transportation,
directions as to place to go and
other details will be given.
1t is suggested that squads Of
10 or more volnteers be organized
in a locality, with lieutenant TO
be chosen by the squad in charge,
and thatt hey move as Il body and
remain together at the mine. It
is the intention OF the undersigned
tc distribute so far as possible the
coal mined by folnteers TO the
county furnishing the workmen.
Thus, il your county furnishes no
men, do not complain If you get
no coal.
The volunteers will be paid the
regular scale plus the II per cent
increase offered by the federal
government. Housing and food will
be provided in case Of inability to
obtain same; otherwise fun protec-
ton will be accorded workmen and
mine owners for life and property.
DO not start from home until
all arrangements have been made
with MIR. Nesbitt as aforesaid.
Special inducements are offered
practical miners and steam shovel
men. 1t is expected that several
hundred men win report for duty
not later than Monday, Dec. !.
This is a patriotic undertaking.
Oklahoma expects you to do your
whole duty in this crisis. Remem
ber you are not going as a strike
breaker; you are not required TO
take sides in the controversy be-
tween the miners and operators,
but as humanitarians and patriotic
citizens you are expected to assist
the state in alleviating the suffer
ing that the present unnecessary
strike has produced. Now is the
time to act. We can operate the
mines if you will help.
j. Il. A. ROBERTSON.
Governor.
] heartily endorse the above call

TO IS YESTE RD AY

An overwhelming majority was cast
for the school bonds in Saturdays spe.
clay city election, but owing to the in

polled against the proposition.
Nhe question as submitted. was

SEVENTEEN GOLDEN
STARS INLEMHlFLAC

With seventeen little flags on the
altar rail before him the pastor of
the Methodist church last Sunday
evening conducted the usual Memo
rial service FOR the soldier dead. The
seventeen emblems were intended to
visualize the Lemhi county dead in
the great war. AS their names were
called by the pastor young soldiers
in the audience stepped forward to
place spring flowers beside each of
the flags. The service flag of the
county was spread upon the reredos
of the church. making most pleasing
hanging. The speaker alluded to the
fact that the flag did not indicate in
its stars of blue and of gold the to-
tai number of soldiers belonging to
Lemhi county, for there were num-
bers not actually enlisted from this
county but who belonged here.
In the front pew were half dozen
soldiers of the war between the
states, Messrs. Giles, Elder, Martin,
Johnson. Bird and Asdrews.3 Also in
the congregation were Spanish war
veterans, members of the Relief
corps and then the young soldiers to
the number of dozen. The choir
music too. with solo by Sam Stern
berg. Other singers were Mrs. ]. A..
Herndon, Mrs. Watkins, Mrs Hines,
Miss Lonsdale. Mrs. Meredith, Rev.
Mr.. Meredith, the pastor; and
Messrs. Chard and Preston.
In the discourse Mr. Meredith re-
ferred to the entrance of the United
States into the great war as in all
the wars of the past with its very
soul. The president, he said, had
stated the animating purposes for
which we entered and had correctly
spoken for the high American ideals
in all that he had said pertaining to
the war. In his advocacy OF the
league of nations, placing that ideal
above the mere contentious of par
tisanship. the president Is moreover
carrying ideals that there shall be
wars no more.
The church was well filled. The
congregation as well as the soldier
patriots were invited to the lecture
room after the service where refresh
ments were served in great bounty.
