WATCH OUR WINDOWS, TABLES AND COUNTERS.,”
jor Ousley, in his spirited appeal to
the citizens to stand behind the boys
who are going to fight. A 5.
The committee has been collecting
for this fund, of which part is to be
used to reimburse the officers fori
their out of pocket expenses for the:
equipment of the camp, and the bal
slice to form the nucleus of a com-l
puny fund for the boys. Myles O'Reilly
reports that a goodly sum has been
collected, but that they are still short
of the mark set—one thousand dol
farg, Those who have not yet contri-
buted to th is fund may do so ,either aT
the Palace Drug Store, or any one of
the four banks. It Is impossible for
the committee to call on everyone
and whilst a number have been per-
sonally asked to make donations .it is
tell that thia is a matter where it is
a privilege to give, and where the
givers should come forward, without,
the aid of a collector
in order that there may be no mis
understanding as to the object of this
fund ,it may be well to state once
more, that before the camp at Lake
Wichita went under Federal control
the boys were without supplies of
any kind; and that even after August
5th, when the camp was taken over
by the government, the supplies were
very late in arriving. Meanwhile, In
older that the- boys might 'not be in
absolute want for necessities, the of-
ficers bought out of their own pock-
ets supplies _for .them. This fund is
largely to pay the bills incurred by
the officers for these supplies

The Fame of Wichita Falla
- "Wherever I have been talking about
this war, and what we must do in it
I have said, look at Wichita Falls;
look what she has done.' The an
peal has never failed. It has invar
ably stimulated the people of other
towns to greater efforts. Amt thiere-
fore you cannot afford to fall back
now, because your name is already
written large in the front page of
Texas fame. So I ask you, in figuring
out what would be fair for these boys
to have, figure what you yourselves
I would have, and do have—and then
give enough that they may have
only half of what you have, and they
will have enough. These men who
are making it safe for you to earn
your living in peace, give them halt

that the soil of this country needs to

water in the .< rop making season. That
problem can now be solved and it will
he right up to the owners of the irrix
able lands to decide whether it will

in order to assist our ailles in whip
ping Germany, it is, the duty of every
loyal American citizen to render all
aid possible to the government. This
certainly is no time for professional
agitators to roam the country and by
imputation, if not by direct words ut
tered, denounce the government and
the method it has adopted of winning
this war. If the law is not sufficient
• to cover such cases, then the laws
should be stretched sufficiently for
that purpose. It is far betterthat
these professional trouble makers
should be handled legally, rather than
leave it up to the people. Prompt ac-
lion on the part of the government
will prevent such an occurrence as
took place in Montana a few weeks
ago. Again, we say, if this country is
good enough to live in, it is good to
