Sapulpa Herald
Observes 22nd
Anniversary
The Sapulpa Herald begins vol-
ume XXIII. No. 1. t day which
means that this is the paper's
birthday.
On September 1. 1914. the first
issue of the paper was printed.
Twenty-two years may not be
such a long time In the life of
some newspapers but 22 years In
the same building, under the same
management, flying the same name
and without having missed an
issue out of the 6.754 publication
days is no mean record.
Looking back over those years
many changes can be seen not
only in the newspaper game but
in all other lines cf business. En-
tirely different methods are in use
now in practically all lines of
business.
Especially is this true m the
paper business. The reading pub-
lic demands far more of its news-
papers than It did 22 years ago.
The same is true of the adver-
tiser Then very few cuts or illus-
trations were used. Now they must
be furnished for the reader as
well as the advertiser.
The Herald had no wire service
when It began publication and was
purely a local paper, and not such
great shakes at that. Soon a pony
wire service was put on and In
1921 the full leased wire service of
the United Press was obtained.
To the Herald a birthday is Just
a birthday and the beginning of
the 23rd year finds the paper re-
newing its pledge to give its read-
ers and patrons the best there is
and to serve them In the best
manner possible. Day by day It
will chronicle the events as they
happen and day by day *111 con-
tinue to make this community a
little better place in which to live.

OKLAHOMA CITY. Sept. 1. rflP)—
Chairman Scott Ferris and H N. Ar-
nold seized temporary control of the
highway commission today, abandon-
ing for the moment their roles of
minority commissioners, and ramrod-
ded a series of significant moves.
J. M. Gentry, secretary-member ot
the commission, was shorn of his us-
ual power by the absence at W E.
Grisso. Grisso. Gentry and Engineer
Van T. Moon constitute a majority
because the engineer votes In case of
a tie and habitually aligns himself
with Grisso and Gentry. Grisso is 111.
Taking advantage of the circum-
stances, Ferris and Arnold In rapid
fire order executed these maneuvers
Outvoted Gentry to block the dis-
charge cf L V Orton, commission at-
torney. This gave them at least tem-
porarily the authority to hire and fire
some 2.400 employes which an attor-
ney general's ruling had lodged with
Gentry and Moon.
Requested the federal trade commis-
sion to Investigate alleged "extortion-
ate'' prices on cement. Mph< and

Blocked the scheduled dflttbeeft of
30 employes in the highway title di-
vision. Oentry announced he would
order the dismissals anyway late to-
day.
Ordered the appointment of 8. W

justice, to challenge In a court test

commission to patronize home owned
industries in the purchase of road
material and machinery.
How long the Perris-A mold power
would last was problematical. Grisso's
doctors have ordered a two months

moved for employment of an attor-
ney to furnish the commission with a
