state of Oklahoma, 1t is praise
worthy fact that SO many young men
of IS years and over are enlisting for
the purpose of bettering themselves
and benefiting the country generally
by taking advantage OF the splendid
school system now in full operation.
Another reason that enlistments are
in vogue, is the recent order just re-
ceived permitting young men to enlist
for either one or three years in any
branch of service they desire. and
the bonus of ninety dollars which each
man enlisting for three years will re-
ceive.

The varieties that are finding fay
