NORMAN, OKLAHOMA, SATURDAY, MAY 22, 1915
NUMBER 252
VOTE FOR THE SCHOOL LEVY
Next Monday the citizens of the Norman City school district will vote upon
the question of increasing the leyy for support of her public schools. This in-
crease "four mills" is necessary if Norman is to maintain her present splendid
system of public schools. Of course, every public-spirited citizen of the district
will vote for the increase. We cannot afford to do otherwise, even if we so de-
sired for Norman's reputation as an educational center is state-wide and must be
maintained.
The Board of Education desires an over-whelming vote in favor of the proposition. Go to the polls on Monday and cast
your vote for a greater and better Norman.

NORMAN HIGH SCHOOL CLOSES FIREMEN OFF FOR SAPULPA
| With Interesting Graduation Exercises 'Delegation of Norman Firemen Go to
at High School Auditorium—
Large Audience
That old saying that "standing room
was at a premium" was true to the
limit at high school auditorium last
night on the occasion of the gradua-
tion exercises. It was certainly a
great outpouring of the citizens of
Norman, and many failed to get ad-
mittance. It ought to have been held
at the Franing, or the auditorium
ought to be enlarged.
The program was intensely interest-
ing, and Prof. T. W. Butcher's ad-
dress was a splendid one. It is a sur-
prise that the high school people se-
cured him as a speaker, for his time
is wholly taken up, but he must have
been greatly pleased at his fine recep-
tion by his Norman admirers. He

The above is the delegation of the
Volunteer Fire Department of Norman
that left this afternoon to attend thej
state meeing of the Firemen of Okla-
homa. They took with them that fine
team, "Mage" and "Prince," which
they have been grooming and rubbing
for the past month until their coats
talked on "Some of the Elements of
I Success" in a common-sense, earnest
j manner, without any attempt at ora-
I tory, and his thoughts sank deep into
: the hearts and mentalities of the
1 graduates and of all who heard him.

to the interest of the occasion.
Fifty students received their diplo-
mas, which were presented to them
by Prof. C. W. Shannon, vice-presi-
dent of the Board of Education, with
appropriate remarks.

COL. ROOSEVELT WON
Evidently the jury in the $50,000
damage suit brought by Col. Barnes
against Col. Roosevelt for libel, be-
lieved Col. Roosevelt was telling the
truth when he said that Barnes and
Murphy were in cahoots, for they
brought in a verdict for the Colonel.
However, one of them said he wasn't
sure, and they thought the costs of the
suit (some 1500) shoald be divided be-
tween Barnes and Roosevelt, so the
jury was sent back yesterday for fur-
ther deliberation.

who picked them up Friday morning
with the chickens in their possession.
Mrs. Jack fully identified the poultry,
even unto one old hen that had a brok-

The thieves are married men and
live in the north part of Oklahoma
City. Neighbors say they were notic-
ed frequently coming home with a
wagon load of poultry, which they
claimed to have purchased.
Mrs. Jack says she is going to get
