CONTRACT LET FOR
NEW BUILDINGS
AT SANITARIUM
• The State Board of Affairs at
tfts meeting in Oklahoma City on
Tuesday let the contract for the
four new buildings at the Central
Oklahoma State Hospital, Nor-
man, to the Mahattnn Construc-
tion Compaiy, of Muskogee, and
work will begin immediately. The
whole amount that will be spent
is upwards of $300,000. Two of
the buildings will be fireproof
ward buildings similar to those
built last year to take the place
of the frame buildings destroyed
by fire, which will cost in the
neighborhood of $50,000 each. An-
iier will be similar to the build-
ing erected last year for the crim-
inal insane, and will be built east
of that building. The third will
be a $75,000 building to take the
place of some of the wooden build
ings. In addition to this some
$21,000 will he expeided for an ice
■plant. The state will spend many
thousands of dollars in improve-
ments and new buildings at this
institution the coming year.
Dr. Griffin has had the $15,000
appropriation for repairs on the
■administration building expend-
ed to such good purpose that the
building will be good for a num-
ber of years. By re-enforcing the
walls and strengthening the weak
places 'he has made it practically
a new building. The building has
been remodeled, the furnishings
if painted, the walls thorughl,• rcn-
« ovatcd, cement floors put in, and
other improvements made, mak-
iig it a firstclass edifice.

Aoal until September, but will

NOTICE TO FRUIT

HICO
The Red Sox landed on Tigers'
pitcher hard yesterday afternoon |
in their frolic at City Park, defeat-!
ing the league leaders and sending I
them down to tie with two teams,
for third, place, taking themselves
an equal share with two others
for first.
Fleharty was working in fine '
shape for the Red Sox and whiffed
eight men and issued pass to but
one. Backed by air-proof fielding
support and a run-getting batfest,
he was in soft all the game. The
hosiery lads started the game off
with a "rally," putting five runs
across in the first inning. They
contributed three more in the sec-
ond, and in the fifth stanza put
three over.
Simmons had hard sledding all
the way, and only in the fourth
when his mates staged a come-
back. apparently, did it look like
the game might be saved. The Sox
gathered 12 hits from his offer-
ings, several for extra bases; re-
ceived 3 passes and were given
life on hits by pitched balls.
Gill, Red Sox catcher, hammer-
ed out three singles and a double
out of four trips to the plate.
The Tigers attempted to
strengthen the team a little i;i the
fourth when they put Hare in at
first, Turner at second, Barnes
behind the bat, Holtzschue in left
and Miller in right.
The score.

Nolan & Martin
Implements and Hardware,
Dr. Clifton reports at noon
Wednesday that Wolf is des-
perately sick at the Sunnyside
hospital, being threatened
with what is known as trama-
tic pneumonia developing
from the injury.
While under the influence of
liquor on Tuesday evening, July
29th, about 9 o'clock, Frank
(Foxy) Wolk tackled Special Of-
ficer Tom Dilbeck, with the re-
sult that Wolf is lying at the
Sunnyside hospital in a precar-
ious condition, caused Ijv ...,
serious wounds inflicted upon
his body by a knife in the hands
of Dilbeck. Dr. Clifton, who. as-
assisted by Dr. Torrey, attended
upon the stricken man immiediat-
ely after the cutting, says the
wounds are not necessarily'fatal,
unless ' ""implications set in. One
wound was a deep cut, soit e six
inches long, which got in be-
tween two of the short ribi, and
is considered the most serious,
The other was a cut near the
waist band, not so serious, but
bad enough.
The fracas in which the cut-
ting occured took place in front
of the Minteer Hardware store,
corner East Main and Peters,
according to the eye-witnesses
the following is what occured:
Wolf was in his automobile
and as Dilbeck passed and spoke
to him, Wolf remarked, "Don't
you speak to me, you "
Dilbeck sprang into the automo-
bile to place Wolf under arrest,
and Wolf struck him and then
drew his gun, shoving the muzzle
up against Dilbeck's breast, us-
ing abusive language and told
him to get off. Dilbeck grabbed
Wolf's gun arm, and struggled
with him for possession of the
iveapon, and while so strug-
gling succeeded in getting his knife
out of his pants pocket, opening
it and began cutting. Wolf drop-
ped the gun instantly when Dil-
beck threatened to cut his throat
if he did not do so, and was in
the very act of doing so when
Wolf gave up. The wounded
man was at once taken to Dr.
Clifton's office and later remov-
ed to Sunnyside hospital, where
he was placed in charge of a
special nurse. His pulse got up to
140 at one time, according to
,Dr. Clifton, but he rested com-
paratively comfortable druing
the night. Several bottles of Ja-
macia ginger were found in his
pockets when taken to the doctor's
office.
Another version of the difficulty
is that Dilbeck made 110 attempt
to arrest, but when Wolf applied
the vile epithet to him, Dilbeck
told him he must not do so, and
when Wolf reiterated it, Dilbeck
went after him, climbing the au-
tomobile to get to him. Then it
jwas the Wolf stuck the gun in
Dilbeck's stomach threatening to
blow his heart out. Dilbeck then
^struck him, knocking him to the
floor of the automobile, and, while
holding off Wolf's gun with one
^iand, reached into his pocket
with the other, opened his knife
and began the cutting.
Dilbeck was not placed under
arrest until Wednesday morning
when he asked that he be ar-
rested and given a hearing. He is
certain the facts will exonerate
him, whatever may be the result
to Wolf.
Previous to the affair with Dil-
beck, Wolf, in the Rexall Store,
made an assault 011 Jim Rodgers,
hitting him with his fist, but not
seriously injuring him.
Some weeks age Wolf was ar-
rested on two charges of boot-
legging and for being intoxicat-
ed in a public place. At the
trials a few days ago, he was
convicted on the charge of being
intoxicated, acquitted on one
charge of bootlegging, and the
jury in the other case of boot-
legging disagreed. Sincc then he
is <said to have made numerous
threats against the officers and
I can assist you in sclliig your
Elberta peaches if you will fol-
low the following instructions.
All peaches must be packed in
bushel baskets and these must be
new. No peach that is ripe must
be placed in the basket. Pick
four days before they would be
ripe enough to eat. Reject all of
the wormy misshapen, and rotted
ones when you place them in the
basket.
My ability to handle is only 111
car lots and I must have you work
among your neighbors and notify
me when you have a carload ready
for shipment.
Men in Norman are buying
peaches and if you choose you
can sell to them.

Labor s Wages
Oklahoma City, July 29,—The j
common laborer today is drawing i
down more real honest to good-
ness coin in his weekly pay envel-
ope than any of the "higherups."
With his 50 cents an hour, the
man who shovels dy;t, or docs any
of the numerous like tasks com-
ing under the head of "common
labor," can afford to take the mis-
sus and the kidies to the picture j
show every Saturday evening and
have enough left over, after pay-
ing the grocer to buy ice cream
sodas around and add the war tax
He is only $552 behind the head
of school departments, when the
year rolls round, and is far ahead
of ordinary teachers.
There should be no rush for
teachers positions considering
that for nine and a half months'
work thesalary paid ranges from
$760 for inexperienced workers, to
$1800 for department heads. These
figures include recent salary in-
creases.
Look at the Bricklayer.
The man who lays brick for a
living or plasters your home arc
both receiving $9 a day for eight
hours. Their yearly salary would
amount to $2808. Carpenters are
not quite so well paid, receiving
only $7.50 for the day's labor,
or $2308.80 yearly.
Engineers on construction jobs
running gasftline engines make I
a day.
Same True at Dallas
Dallas, Texas, July 28.—Carpeu- j
ters, plumbers bricklayers and
plasters have larger yearly in-1
comes than teachers in the Dallas
schools, and this despite the fact
that high school teachers have re-
ceived salary increases averaging
41 per cent and grade school
teachers 33 1 3 per cent, according
to figures gathered here.
High school teachers, under j
contract for the coming year will i
receive a maximum of $1,950 a
year and a minimum of $1,150
Grade school teachers receive a
maximum of $1,300 and a mini-
mum of $886.
The same wage scale applies to
both negro and white teachers.
