BUT WE SEE NOT.

Most Of us miss about all the
pleasure Of life because we go
with our noses to the grindstone,
and our eyes glued to the mud
ON our shoes,
There is hardly a one Of us
who cannot in an hours jour
ney get away to d country lane,
a river bank, or u bit of wood.
And getting there to nature S
laboratory where all the mys-
terry Of creation, all the netting
and giving birth, and maternal
care is manifest, surely there is
enough to give our minds some
thing to chew ON more nourish-
ing than the husks Of the daily
trough.
Most Of us know nothing at
all Of the woods all about us.
Our wisdom is of the counter,
the ready chewed slang wisdom
Of the thoughtless cities, and
movie or a burlesque show gives
us relaxation.
Your immortal soul deserves
better fodder than that.-Oklaho-

SALVATION ARMY ON THE
BORDER; HUGE PROGRAM.

Dallas, Texas, May 16.-While the
attention of the entire country has
been centered on the American sol
diers in France, hundreds of soldiers
stationed on the border have beer
comparatively forgotten. At the re
quest of Major General Cabell, com.
mander of the southern department
U. s. A., the Salvation Army is begin
ming an extensive program Of work to
make the lives of these boys a little
more comfortable.
In a long line from Brownsville,
to Ei Paso, these border posts ex-
tend. In some posts as few as 20
men are stationed In other posts
the soldiers number a hundred or
more. Being so few the soldiers
tire of each other, and there are no
towns where they can go for recrea-
tion. They are playing a waiting
game, constantly on the alert
against bandit attacks and raids
These raids are their only diversion
and they wait eagerly for them as
breaks in the monotony.
The Salvation Army has already
made a beginning in this work of
providing entertainment for these
soldiers. Lieut. Col Geo. Wood in
charge of Salvation Army activities
for the southwest, recently made a
trip to the border to see what was
needed to be done Immediately.
AS result of his trip, forty-eight
rocking chairs were sent
to Col c. T. Langhorne, in command
at Maria, Texas.
Col Langhorne distributed the
chairs sending twelve to Candelaria,
twelve to Indio, twelve to Terlin-.
qua, six to La Jitas, and six to San
la Helena. Then he wrote back inn
requesting Col. Wood to
send if possible a similar shipment
in addition. Within a few days two
dozen rockers and one dozen settee
lockers were sent to Evetts ranch, |
Hester's ranch and Glen Springs.
A baseball outfit was also sent to |
he troops at Candelaria.
The Chickasha daily express. (Chickasha, Indian Territory [Okla.]) 1899-current, 1919-05-17

"Our work on the border has just
begun" Col Wood said Many other
shipments of needed supplies will
be sent down from time to time,
whenever needed"
The district occupied by the SOL
diers is in area larger than Massa-
chusetts and Connecticut 1t is
planned to put six sets of workers
in the field. These men will trav-
ell from post to post and make ar
rangements for meetings and enter
tainments. They will also provide
equipment where needed Col
Wood has in mind a Salvation Army
overseas worker to organize this
work. Appointments will be made
soon.
