HIGH SCHOOL ELECTION
At their meeting the other day
the county commissioners called an
election to rote on the preposition
to build a county llieh school at
Mounds. The election will be held
on the day of the general election
this fall.
Fetitions were presented asking
for this election several weeks ago
and Mr. Childress favored granting
the petitions at that time but owing
to the opposition of the other com
missioners the matter was deferred.
Sapulna people generally have fav-
ored the proposition all along but
the opposition came from in and
atound Brislaw.
NEW DEPARTMENT STORE
A new department store is to Ik
opened in Sapulpa by the Gilliland
Mercantile Company. Thecompanv
will put in a $50,000.00 stock and
will carrv everything from a sack of
salt to a tailormade gown. There
is an opening for this kind ol a store
and the new firm will probably help
exl :id Sapulpa's trade territory.
The firm has leased a room on Dewey
avenue and will open lor business
about Sept. 1st.
GOING TO DALLAS
(Juite a bunch of Elks will go to
Dallas to-morrow to attend an lvlks
meeting at that place. It is cxpeeted
that about fifty will go from here.
A special train will be run from here,
carrying members of the 1 ulsa, Bar-
tlesville and Sapulpa lodges. The
train will leave here about 8:30 to-
morrow morning.
IN FAVOR OF BONDS
About Ten To One Vote To Bond
The City
The bond election yesterday re-
suited in au overwhelming victory
for the issuance of the bonds. The
rote stood about ten to one in
favor of it. In one or two wards
less than half a dozen votes were
cast against it. The vote while not
so large as at some previous elec-
tions was heavier than was at first
expected considering the fact that
there was no opposition to make
things interesting.
The school bond proposition car-
ried with even less opposition than
the city bonds. In Woodlawn ad-
dition there was not a single vote
cast in opposition and the vote was
a heavy one too.
F. E. Adams returned last night
from Kansas City, where he had
been the past few days.

moned by a telegram announcing the

pa a week.
SECURE SUPPLY OP FRESH AIR.
Necessary Ventilator* Can Be Put in
with Little Trouble.
Where Bteaui-heat Is Installed, ac-
cording to Suburban Life, ventilation
Is especially needed, for the absence of
flues and open fireplaces deprives the
rooms of a constant source of puro
air, and architects are often negligent
in supplying efficient substitutes for
them. When building a house, It Is
very eaBy to have at least one open
grating communicating with the out-
side air placed at the highest possi-
ble point in every room, with a flap.
If desired, to prevent this outlet be-
coming an inlet; but, even when the
house is built without these necessary
ventilators, they can Be easily made
with very little expense or trouble.
Perhaps the simplest method of pro-
viding a constant Inlet for a room is
to have a counterpart of the lower rail
of the sash-frame made, with upper
and lower surfaces parallel. When
this is put in Its place and the win-
dow shut down on It, air comes in
readily at the Junction of the upper
and lower frames, and at a height
which prevents those sitting In the
room from feeling any draught.
