NINE MONTH'S SCHOOL
ASSURED.
f« r. Levy Cstrise by Cood Majority -
Aba City Ury.
The extra levy for school purpose*
carried at the special election held
Tuesday by a Urge majority, the vote
rt*ndin 664 for the leyy to againat.
The various city levies also .carried
though by ffreatiy reduced majorities;
the vote on these propositions standing
188 for to lit against.
On account of the short tine in
which the propositions were advertised
" • feared that enough voters could
not tetton to the polls but by sys-
tematic work by several citizens a good
vote wis polled, more than a majority
of the voting strength of the eity tak-
ing part in the election and an actual
majority of the registered vote
of the city casting sn affirmative
ote on the school Utry. There
can be no doubt that the citizen-
•hip of Claremore is overwhelmingly
in favor of good schools. Several did'
not understand the matter in regard to
the extra levy for city purposes and
did not vote on the proposition, but a
majority of 86 votes waa registered
in favor of the proposition.

THE COUNTY EAII.
The county fair is coming back—
The poeter sheets are everywhere,
And almoat every holy now
la whooping up ih? county fair.
We've had our All of aeroplanee-
We want to see the big fat bog.
The patent churn, the trotting dog.
The new device that beai a a cog.
And work around through the catalog
At the county fair.
We've always miaaed the county fair-
It'a Inner and its outer track.
The dancing saddler, and the bull
About four feet acroaa the back.
We're weary of Chautauqua talk-
We want to bear the whistles blow.
The horses neigh, the roosters crow,
The blooded cattle when they lo«.
And the shrill-voiced starter shouting
•Go!" N
At the county fair.
'It seems aa if the world growa cqjd.
And people nowadays don't care
For other people in the warm
Old manner of the county fair.
We're tired of bowing here and there
We want to shout, "How are you.
Den?"
Hello there, Bill!" and "Howdy. Ann !*•
And get a warm claap of the hand
From every woman, child and man
At the county fair.
The county f ir ia coming back-
And that ia probably as well.
A little more, and everyone
Had disappeared within hia shell.
The good old plan waa better far
We want to meet the human race
In some well-decorated place,
And be right human for a apace.
Because of coming fsce to face
At the county fair.

THE BULL MOOSE.
In a book written by Theodore
Rooeevelt entitled "The Wilderness
Hunter," the following description ia
given: Tbe bull moose lives on the
publifc domain and ia a very waateful
feeder. He ia of a wandering and
flighty disposition. His flesh, however,
is course and stringy; his hide is thick
and of very poor quality. He fre-
quently shows a cluinsv slownesa of
apprehension which amounts to down-
right atupidity. Collinsville Newa.
