OKLAHOMA VETERAN
Is,ARllsTs MODEL
INDIAN Is CHOSEN AS TYPE OF,
~. TRUE AMERICAN FIGHTER,
. gs,asas BY GREAT ARTIST. es,r..,,,.

A Choctaw Indian of Calvin. Okla.
homa, who was in that company of
United States soldiers which fired
the first shots at the Germans, and
who was near the fighting lines when
the last gun was heard, has been
chosen by Dewarreux, the French ar.
fist, as the model for his painting of
the true American fighter. The pic.
ture is to hang in the French Federal
Building at Paris with those of other
Allied soldiers.
Otis w. Leader trained with the
famous Blue Devils when he first
went to France, and was almost con-
tinuously under fire while he served
overseas. At Chateau Thierryy Metz,
st. Mihiel Verdun and Argonne he
made splendid record Of bravery,
and was cited for his action at Chat
eau Thierry when for three days he
fought with the infantry after the en-
tire gun crew, with which he was
fighting had been killed, and the gun
destroyed At this time he captured
two machine guns and eighteen pri-
soners.
Today Leaders body is. covered
with mustard gas burns for which he
still has to. have medical treatment.
He isn't sitting down for the rest of
his life telling war stories to his chill
dren and friends. Not much,
The man who was chosen as the
type of true American fighter is still
in action. AT Oklahoma City he is
taking training under the direction of
the Federal Board for Vocational
Education in mechanical and electri-
cal engineering. After completing
the course there he is to continue in
advanced work along the same lines
in Kansas City, Missouri.

SCHOOLS ASKED TO ].
AID CENSUS TAKING
TEACHERS AND PUPILS CAN Be
AT GREAT SERVICE TO COUNTY
IN MAKING PURPOSE CLEAR.

The schools are asked to aid tn,
Census Office in collecting the 1872
census, which begins January 2, il
an appeal to teachers issued by DR.
P p. Claxton. United States Commits
sioner of Education. In his state
ment Dr.. Claxton says:
Teachers and school officials, an(
the children in the schools as well
can help the Government with the
Fourteenth Census of the United
States, which begins January @, 1920
by making clear to all the people il
the community how important the
census work is.
The enumeration of the population
during a census of the United States
always presents numerous difficulties
among them apprehension on the
part of the people, particularly those
OF foreign birth or extraction, thai
their answers to the enumerator's
questions will cause increased taxa
ton, legal entanglements or other
consequences injurious to their wei
fare. The schools can assist mater
tally in quieting such unfounded
fears and at the same time acauaint
all persons with the main questions
included in the census schedules.
1T is therefore, earnestly hoped
that school teachers will see the Cd.
portunity presented them as public
servants who come in contact with
large numbers of people to correct
any erroneous opinions about the
census which they may hear. 1t is
no less earnestly hoped that school
children will convey to their homes
the information that taking the cen
sus is a gigantic task that can only
be successfully carried out il all the
the people cooperate by giving the
census enumeration correct and COM
plete answers to all questions"
A special circular for the use of
schools has been prepared by the
Census Bureau and will be distributed
to teachers in the larger cities.

Will HAVE new
LAW ON SUNDAY
CLOSING SOON
MAYORsELEcT W.. o. CHERRY
!. SAYS PRESENT LAW Is EN-
TiRELY INADEQUATE.
WANTS A LAW TO GOVERN ALL
Incoming Board Will Enact Such
Laws AS Can Be Enforced--Does
Not Believe in Keeping Statutes on
Books Which Are Disregarded.

Concerning the statement which APP
peafed in The Herald Thursday to the
effect that one of the first official acts
of the incoming board Of Mayor and
Aldermen would be to repeal the Sun
day closing law, Mayor-elect Cherry
said to Herald reporter this morning
II have already been called by one
woman this morning, and she gave
me down the country about what was
said yesterday | just want to say
this. We are going to have Sunday
law, and it will be one approved by
the people, but it will not be anything
like the present law, which is abso.
lutely. worthless and cannot be. enforc
ed. Il In the first place, the present Sun.
day%closing law under which Column
bia- operates, was drafted away back
there in the days when the open sa.
loon was licensed in Columbia, and
when the back end of many grocery
stores was bar room. In those days
the grocery stores did their biggest
business on Sunday-in the back room
OF course At that time we had no
garages, and trains only stopped here
long enough for passengers to get on
and off. Now we have many garages
which must be governed under Sun
day laws. Restaurants also will be
effected.
Mr. Cherry said the sentiment OF
the business people seems to favor
Sunday opening, that is outside of
church hours. AS it is now, said the
newly elected mayor the law fayors
the classes. In the club rooms and ia
vored persons around town may pur-
chase almost anything they please on
Sunday If clublnene may buy drinks
on Sunday why cannot the man who
does not belong to clubs? If the. la,
boring man is to be denied acigais on
Sunday, IA It fair for the owners of
automobiles to spend the afternoon
out Joy riding in their cars. In other
words, Mayor Cherry believes that the
old '''blne laws. vi long ESQ are en-
..tirely Inadequate. and that there must
be radical changes made, He says
the incoming board stands squarely
and flatfooted for law enforcement,
and that it will be the purpose of the
board to keep the people of Columbia
informed through the press as to ev-
cry move made by the board of mayor
and aldermen. sa

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Dec. 2O.-That

prohibition laws is the charge made In
statement issued by Judge Wayne
B. Wheeler general counsel for tile
drys, who arrived in Nashville yeste-
day to assist in the Tennessee state
campaignk of the anti-salooni league
Mr.. Wheeler said: fsEsN M
1.-THE persistent propaganda by the
National Tobacco League to the effect
that the Anti-Saloon League is back
ing an anti-tobacco campaign rs en-
tirely unfounded 1t was started in
New York by the anti-prohibition as
ISOLATION to confuse the issue of law
enforcement, and to try to make the
people believe that nearly everything
will be attacked by the liquor prohibit
ton forces.
"The Anti-Saloon League never has
made a fight against tobacco. There
is wide difference between tobacco
and liquor The liquor traffic is a pub
lie nuisance. The tobacco habit may
be considered by some personal or
private bad habit, but it is not in the
same class with liquor, which is pub
lie nuisance.
In its recent propaganda the to-
bacco league quotes Clarence True
Wilson as spokesman for the AntiSa-
loon League favoring an anti-tobacco
crusade. DIR. Wilson represents the
Methodist temperance board and not
the Anti-Saloon League. He has re-
peatedly denied this story circulated
by the tobacco league. This whole to-
bacco league propaganda is an effort
to draw a herring across the trail to
divert the chase from the beverage
liquor traffic and law enforcement
against the moonshiner and the boot
logger"

CONCERNS IN LAND.

When fully in operation the Peer
less Chemical Company will send for
ward every day an average of 400
tons of phosphate rock, having an an
proximate value of $4,000. This is
around twelve car loads day, and the
rock is of high grade. Some idea of
the magnitude of the operations if
this company is gained from the state
ment that its pay roll will run around
$4,000 a week, oftentimes in excess
of that amount.
1t will be one of the largest ship
pers of phosphate rock in the entire
country, and will have one of the best
equipped plants to be found anywhere.
Its annual output will run around
Si2,OO0,OOO, making it one of the great
industries of the phosphate world.

year and $4,000, 000, 900 yearly there

senate.
Without a record vote, and with but
