' SAVE HEALTH BY SCREENING Bar Out Insects Which May .Freight Disease Germs Into Your Home The dawning or real summer weath er brings the fly problem more clearlv to the front. Those who have thus far failed to heed the repeated warn ings of the State Department of Health should no longer risk the health and lives of their own families and the families, of their neighbors by failing to adopt adequate measures for the sanitaryr disposition and adequate protection from flies and animals -of all waste and filth. A few hours work and a few dol lars in money will construct a sanitary toilet which is f lyproof and : cuts off the large part of the danger of infec tion. Such, a - structure should, -of course, ; be so located thtat it cannot possibly contaminate the water, supply of any family. The next step should be the effec tive screening of the home so that neither flies nor mosquitoes can enter. In homes - properly screened there is a marked less incidence of malaria, typhoid fever, "summer complaint," and other insect borne diseases. Screens are far less .expensive than doctor's bills, and a general screening - campaign is urged' by the State De 'partment of 'Health. r v y. L , JkvVJ Son of the late Judge C. A. Cook, cf Warrenton, where he spent most of his boyhood. Though a citizen of Oklahoma for the past twelve years since the Cook family moved to Mus kogee, he is well remembered here by many friends and relatives. Cook is a veteran of many a hard fought battle in the far east and comes from a line of fighters. There has never been a war in which this country was involved since King Phillips war in which, some of his near relatives have not taken part. He enlisted at the army recruiting station in Muscogee in November 1905 and served six years under Brigadier General Pershing. Shortly after enlisting here he was assigned to duty in the southern de partment which was stationed ' in the Phlllippine Islands. At various times he was stationed on the Islands of Samar and Jolo where the United States forces were endeavoring to in duce the hostile Moros to accept civ ilization. While on these islands he won the highest praise from his su perior officers for exhibiting excep tional coolness while under fire and especially was this true at the battle of Mt, Daha where the Americans un der Pershing met and defeated the hostile Moros in one of the fiercest bat tles of the campaign. Mr. Cook is 37"yeairsof age and has' a wife and child, but he says that if the United States and the allies do not whip the Germans, America will not be a fit in which to live. He is now on duty at Fort Logan, Col. The best wishes of the people of his old home county. are with mm.

The tobacco crop looks well with the exception that the stand is not v.3 good as it should be. The corn crop does not look good. Farmers, work your . corn and re plants corn' will make allr ight up to July 12th for I have tried it. I waixb to impress upon every farmer in War ren county the necessity of planting corn and working it intensively dur ing 1918. The farmer who fails to make all the corn, peas, potatoes, for age crops and a good garden is partly a slacker, and will surely regret hi3 mistake when too late. If thet war lasts two years longer, people win be glad to have the chance to plant food crops, and food crops will be first. Farmers, plant peas, beans and everything that man and beast can eat. One has time to plant a small patch of some kind of food crop and help wonderfully. Small -patches make a table of good food. Sow late cabbage seed to make plants r for early setting; plant snaps every two weeks until the first of September plant Irish potatoes the first of July, old seed; plant sweet potato slips and vines until August. . The corn crop should be worked wellat once if the best results are to be expected. F. B. NEWELL, Callaborator.
