Harvey Hutchcns and wife re, ceived Sunday from the V. S. Adjutant General the sad news that their son Lawrence, has been killed in action on the firing line in France, on October 25th. The news coming nearly two weeks after the signing of the armistice was a severe shock to the parents. Lawrence was drafted last Spring and after spending Severn! months at ('amp KuihIoii, was sent to France.
He readied the. battle front in time to participate in the desperate lighting of the closing week of the war and he made the supreme sacri-the Germans. Lawrence is the the cGrmanx. Lawrence is the first Elk City boy to fall in action and his death has cast a glouin over the entire community.

The grief-stricken parents and Mhcr relatives have the heartfelt sympathy of all in the loss of their son and brother. He gave his life for others no man can make a greater sacrifice. Capt. S. K.
