Most of us wish that women would not

but when they do they are subject 10

women in the world and there are oth

The law establishes the justification
for one person taking the lie OF an

When one person becomes offended at

there is justification for killing-hardly
ever so, in fact.
Women escape many of the penalties
of the law on account OF their sex. 1t
is the apparent belief of jurors that
they must deal with women-especially
those who smile sweely at them and

purpose Of the organization is to pro
mote the cause Of the worldwide mis-
siOns" The missionary enterprise Is
the greatest work of the church. The
church is a missionary society Mis-
suons in Christianity in action. The
church prays, Thy Kingdom Come
and its mission is to preach the Gospel
10 every creature. The church itself
IS divided into different organizations
that the business of missions may be
properly conducted but the church IS
directly responsible for the spread OF
missionary knowledge and inspiration
among its members. The missionary
societies are the missionary centers OF
th,, churches represented. History tells
us that the Woman's Union Missionary
Society. which was organized in 1861
and whose membership was composed
of women of several denominations, be
came such an inspiration to thes., wo-
men that its reflex action was mani
tested in the organization of great de

that through the quarterly motings of
the proposed Federation women Will
catch greater vision of the duty OF

well be asked by every woman in TINS

object Of the Federation Is it for sell
fish purposes that the women Of the
churches of Ardmore and vicinity meet
together and enjoy the proveroial cup
Of tea and a social hour? While TINS
may enter into the purpose of the or
ganization it is of secondary import
ance and does not justify the mainte-
nance Of such an organization. The
Individual or church society that has
this object alone, in mind, is asking
the question like Judas of old, what
will YOU give me" No matter how
magnificent the possibilities may be
or now ripe the opportunities if this is
the sole purpose of th- organzation, its
strength viii be shorn and its influ-
ence weakened. Judas had the oppor-
tunity of walking side by side with
his Master for three years, Of listening
to His matchless words. Of looking into
His divine face but selfish pleasure
was the greatest thing in his life and
his Lord took second place when the
testing time came.
II this is all there is to this proposed
organization. which calls itself Mission
airy, we make no mistake in using the
words which Jesus employed on one
occasion, Better for that man had he
never been born" 1t is better for the
proposed organization never to exist
than to minimize the word Missionary
in the eyes and ears of the people OF
Ardmore Like Paul. the purpose Of a
Missionary Federation should be, For
me to live is Christ Christ should
be its author, its preserver. and its
purpose. Wide will be the circle of its
influence if this Federation lives not
for self but for others. if Christ is it's

EDUCATING SOLDIERS OVERSEAS

MORE than 100000 soldiers in the American
wi forces overseas are enrolled IN the schools Wnc"
the government has established to equip them
for better positions and wages when they return 10
civil life To most Of these young men these schoo,
offer greater opportunity or cultural ana Voca'ioh"
training than would have been theirs il they had not
entered the army. .
These schools are SO graduated that they afford
instruction in elementary subjects, academic courses
and training in a great university established near
Paris and postgraduate careers IN the foremost Btu
ish and French universities. While serving their coun-
try as soldiers these young men may al the same i'hc
brne6t themselves as students. They are combining
mental Improvement with physical weII-bemg ana
wholesome discipline that will safeguard them from
the evils OF life in barracks.
Reports to the war department show that these
Young Americans testifyng their appreciation OF
the advantages presented to them by their attention
TO their studies. Those whose commands are ordered
back TO the United States may apply Tor transfers

This is the first time in history that provision has
been made by the United States or the education OF
its soldiers.

LIFT OKLAHOMA OUT OF THE MUD

NOU and YOU, Madame and Monsieur,
have the say so. 1t is up to you to de-
termine tomorrow, by your vote at
the special election, whether Oklahoma IS
to have splendid system of hard-sur-
faced highways or is to remain stuck IN
the mud.
If by your votes you determine that this
more or less proud commonwealth IS TO
stay stuck in the muck, that will be your
affair, but you are quite likely to regret
your determination.
If by your votes you determine that TINS
pardonably proud state is to begin build,
ing a splendid system of hard-surfaced
highways which will be good roads and
will remain good roads. that also will be
your affair, and in all likelihood you Will
be exceedingly proud and glad Of your de-
cision.
By this time you must know what there
is to be known of the issue. You nave
heard and read the debates for and
against the good roads bonds. You know
the needs of present-day civilization, OF
community cmomerce, of general indus
try.
Do you want good roads, or don't you!
If you do, you will vote for the bonds.
