Wage increases have been asked
by about 100,000 railroad train-
men, shop mechanics and track
workers employed on rail lines of
the middle west, it became known
Wednesday.
The trainmen are asking a min-
imum wage of $150 per month
with time and a half for overtime
and are asking an eight-hour day.
Shop mechanics want an increase
from 02 to 85 cents an hour and
Lhe trackmen also want an advance
in hourly pay.
Railway officials assert that the
granting of the demands of the
men will add several million dol-
lars annually to the operating ex-
penses of the lines.
Information that there is a short
age of men in the printing and
publishing industries and tha
there are exceptionally good op-
portunities lor employment of dis-
charged soldiers and sailors in
that field has been received at the
office in New York of Colonel Ar-
thur Woods, assistant secretary of
war. The announcement adds
that there is room in the printing
industry not only for apprentices
but for men of past experience and
considerable education.
From the looks of things as we
: go to press (Thursday evening)
the Seventeenth Anniversary Cele-
bration of Yale is going to be all
of the success which the promot-
ers have claimed for it. Already
the carnival company’s crews are
on the ground and making readj
to be open at sun up in the morn-
ing. The merry-go-round is here
and ready for business, and a num
ber of the concession men are here
making barrels of pink lemonade
in anticipation of the thirsty
crowd. *
A telephone communication
from Fort Sill notifies the enter-
tainment committee that the aero
plane from that place will arrive
some time early in the morning.
The landing1 grond for the ma-
The landing ground for the ma-
city, and the army officials require
guards about the machine day and
night. The committee has had
some trouble in securing persons
to act as guards.
About the only disappointment
that has occured is that the round-
up and roping contest which was
scheduled to come off will not be
held. The entertainment commit-
tee is in no way to blame for this,
for the persons who were to put
on this exhibition came to Yale
without solicitation and asked the
privilege of building a stockade,
bringing in their stegrs, and mak-
ing arrangements with the- base
ball team for the use of the
grounds. They also went to their
own personal expense to g£t out
special advertising matter. No ex-
planation has been made by them
as to the reason for their failure
to go ahead with the show.
Good speakers are secured for
both days, each making a speech
in the morning and in the evening.
On the first day Brigadier General
Roy V. Hoffman will be the speak-
er and on the second day W. M.
Morris, Vice-President of the Ok-
lahoma Division of the W. S. S.
As usual the indications are
that the two days will he hot, dry
and dusty, but then whenever
the crowd celebrates at Yale they
have a rousing good time no mat-
ter what the weather conditions.

An invitation has been extend-
ed to the other churches of the
litv to join in the holding of union
services during the warm weather,
but no definite arrangements have
been made as yet.
As a special feature of the first
Sunday night’s services in the city
park will be baptism in the new
swimming pool.

Mind Unbalanced
Charles Edmundson whose mind
became unbalanced a few days ago
was taken to Stillwater Tuesday
by Constable C. L. Smith. Wed-
nesday morning Mrs. Edmundson
went to Stillwater for the purpose
of bringing him back to Yale,
where it was intended that should
he become worse he would be tak-
en to a private sanitarium for
treatment.
Coming back however, in the jit-
ney from Stillwater, Mr. Edmund-
son three times attacked his wife,
chocking her until taken away by
the driver of the jitney. Finally
he jumped from the car and ran
across a pasture disappearing
from view of those in the'gar, ~
Thursday morning about elev-
en o’clock Sheriff Lilley telephon-
ed the officers here that Mr. Ed-
mundson had been found and that
he would he taken to the institu-
tion at Norman this morning.

order to see that everything was
in running order and to give some
instruction to those employes who
have had no experience in the
work.
It is expected that the operation
of the plant in a regular schedule
will begin next Monday morning
and the plant will turn out first a
large quanity of the Yankee Tire
(Protectors for which they have a
great many orders.
After the plant gets to running
smoothly and the back orders are
taken care of then the company ex-
pects to begin the manufacture of
a variety of rubber appliances, in-
cluding tires.
"Ifale should be proud of this in-
stitution as it is the first rubber
plant in Oklahoma actually in op-
eration and it is financed almost
entirely by local capital.
During the two days of the An-
niversary celebration a special in-
vitation is extended to persons to
visit the plant and be shown the
operations.

The First Baptist Church
Early last spring our church
made definite arrangements with
State Evangelist Rev. Estes and
his singer Mr. Allen to hold a pro-
tracted meeting in Yale beginning
the fifth Sunday in August. It is
now only one month until this
time. We hope to see a large num
ber saved and the Christian people
greatly revived and strengthened
during this meeting. We shall
pray and work to this end. We
most earnestly solicit the prayers
and as far as possible the co-oper-
ation of all the good people of
Yale in making this a great meet-
ing.
Our Sunday School was well at-
tended last Sunday. If you are
not in some Sunday School we
shall be glad to have you come and
worship with us next Sunday. We
shall hold our quarterly commun-
ion services at the 11 o’clock hour.
The pastor will speak on “The
Lord’s Supper as a Witness.” At
the evening hour the pastor will
speak on “Lost Opportunity.”
There will he good music at both
services. You will receive a warm
welcome at these services.
Our B. Y. P. U. assembly will
begin next Tuesday. We shall be
glad to see a large number of our
young people attend this year. It
is both-educational and inspira-
tional and will prove a great
blessing to any who attend. Let
us have a large atendance at our
young peoples’ services Sunday.
R. Peterson, Pastor.

A telegram received Wednesday
at Oklahoma City, signed by a
number of citizens of Okmulgee
protested to the governor against
the tearing away of the Btone wall
which surrounds the famous old
Creek Indian tribal house and ask-
sd the governor to intervene. The
telegram protested that the wail
should remain intact for ihstorical
reasons. The governor wired in
reply that it was not a matter over
which he held any jurisdiction.
Governor Robertson Wednesday
took in hand the alleged unfair
treatment of farmers in grading
wheat when he directed John A.
Whitehurst, president of the state
board of agriculture, to make in-
vestigation of reports of the al-
leged improper practices and deal-
ings on the part of buyers at Ryan
Mr. Whitehurst said he would
detail one of his inspectors to look
into the situation, and that if con-
ditions warrant, the attorney gen-
eral will be asked to proceed with
some kind of civil or criminal ac-
tion against those responsible for
the alleged unfair treatment, it
was said.
County official in Pittsburg
county elected in 1918 will not re-
ceive the pay raise voted by the
1919 legislature. The county at-
torney, Carl Monk, gave the excise
board his opinion that these raises
would not be effective except for
officers elected, or appointed, after
the Seventh legislature’s enact-
ment.
By his rulipg Mr. Monk forbade
the replacing of $500 in his depart
ment of the budget for his own
salary. He also deprived the sher-
iff of a like sum, and took lesser
* sums from the county judge, coun
ty commissioners and county sup-
erintendent of education.
The deputies of these officers,
however, when appointed subse-
quent to the legislation in ques-
tion, will get the benefit of the
pay hikes.

Dear Friends:
Just a few days longer and then
back to Dear Old Yale. Am having
a wonderful trip. How does $6

you often.
