BLUEJACKETS BECOME
ACQUAINTED WITH MALTA

Malta Is the largest of the Maltese
Islands, situated between Europe and
Africa in the central channel which
connects the eastern and western
basins of the Mediterranean sea.
These islands belong to Great Britain.
and the inhabitants are said to be
the direct descendants Of the Phoe-
nicians. The prosperity Of the island
depends upon the military forces which
are based there and those who tarry
there are intervals. 1t is base for
the British Mediterranean fleet, and
ii is seldom that men-o-war of many
nationalities cannot be found in the
harbor. The harbor is beautiful and
adequate. though with the coming Of
the big steam vessels in the Aledit-
crranean trade il was necessary to
commence the construction OF n large
breakwater for the needs of the
future.
The people are devoted to agri-
culture, though there are few large
farms. some 10000 inhabitants hold
ing farms OF acres and smaller,
and they do not produce enough for
their needs, importing a large per-
ccntage of their supplies. For this
reason the money brought in by Wis
itors and military forces Is necessary
for the prosperity of the island, and
In the absence of the British fleets
for any long period the natives are
apt to be in want.
| In casting about, as Is the usual
custom. for souvenirs and goods to
bring. the American bluejackets buy
large quantities of hand made lace
for which the island is noted.
During the Spanish war, hundreds
Of our men stopped off at Malta
which was n port of call for our
transports to Manila. and again In
the great war our sailors on duty in
the Mediterranean found Malta q
haven and recreation.
In the upper picture we see ar
American bluejacket standing by the
| fountain in the beautiful Irish Gar
dens. and below Is the u. S. s. Ches
ter in the harbor of Malta.
Malta Is OF extreme importance tt
any one wishing TO hold power in tho
Mediterranean, and like Gibraltar. In,
British have the island strongly for
titled and keep large garrison ther,
at all times.

AMERICAN RED CROSS
TO GIVE RURAL HELP
Program for Public Health and
Community Welfare Is Now
Well Under Way.

Rural communities and towns Of less
than 5000 population benefit in very
large part by the public health and
community welfare work Of the Ameri-
can Red Cross. Almost all Of the
5000 Red Cross chapters have some
rural sections in their territory. There
fore the Red Cross Rural Service. :,
Briefly, the purpose Of Rural Serv-
Ice Is to assist people to get out Of life
more health, wealth and happiness. In
this purpose public health instruction
and general educational progress Of
both children and adults play big
part.
Recreation Is found to be one Of the
biggest needs in rural life. There is
lack Of sufficient play-life for the chill
dren and social life for the adults.
Picnlcs, pageants, debating clubs,
baseball leagues, community singing
and other social events which bring
the people Of surrounding communities
together have been organized and car
ried on under the guidance Of Red
Cross rural workers to great advan-
tage. In many instances solving rec
reational problems and getting people
together proves to be the awakening
OF the community to other conditions
which may be improved by united
action.
AS result Of community organiza-
ton, townships in which there had
been neither plans nor interest in
community progress have been organ
lied TO work together with the unified
purpose OF bringing their community
up to the most enlightened standards.
Lecture and musical entertainment
courses have been started as result
OF community meetings, as well as cir
culating libraries, Red Cross schools Of
instruction in Home Nursing, Care of
the Sick and First Aid. In the larger
towns the need for restrooms and pub
lie comfort stations Is being met. Play
grounds for the children have been
established and recreational activities
worked out for the year.
In order that there may be concerted
effort In carrying on the programs Of
the various welfare agencies In the
rural districts, Red Cross Rural Serv-
ice helps the organizations already on
the ground. The main object Of the
service is to lend hand everywhere
and take the lead only where neces-
sary.

SAM WEEKS SAYS He
IS ENTITLED To A
I TOLD YOU Sol"

Sam A. Weeks, the Republican
member of the county election board.
and incidentally chairman Of the Re-
publican county central committee,
was the most surprised party in the
city "Wednesday morning when the
Republicans of Carter county seemed
to have chance for electing some of
the county officers, and he was rather
shocked, too, in view of the fact that
deficit amounting to approximately
$500 would be noticeable in his bank
account because he had argued with
Democratic brother to the extent Of
suit of clothes that such a thing
could not happen in Carter county,
and it did
Mr.. Weeks has been very active in
Republican politics in this city for
many years, and no matter how dark
and gloomy the outlook seemed, was
always on the job and trying hard to
increase the voting strength of his
party. He was a big factor in Tues
days result in this county, but mod.
estly relegates all honor to the boys
from the forks of the creek" who
needed his war cry and clannishly
rallied to the call.
Mr.. Weeks is a partisan without
being obnoxious. he sticks to the ten
cts of his party, because he believes
in them, but he is willing to accord
the same privilege to anyone else,
and his good nature is proverbial
with all parties.
We'll, l predicted long time ago .
even when the Democratic majority
in this state made German frightful
ness look like pink tea, that /
would see Oklahoma in the Republi-
can column. That day has arrived, "a
little ahead of schedule, but as it is
here, l see no reason why l should
not indulge in the worn-out phrase.
L told you so,' q little on my own
account, and get what delayed COM

turns" Quoth Sam.
