Shall Falls City Cele brate jhe_4th of July HARVEST HANDS OKLAHOMA CALLS FOR Charles L. Daugherty, Statu La bor Commissioner, Oklahoma t ity, Okla., telegraphed to Hon. W. B. Wilson, Secretary of Labor, on May 25, ItHI, that Oklahoma would need from twelve to fifteen thousand men at from two to two and one half dollars per day and board to help harvest the wheat and thresh same, and eighty-five per cent of men employed will he given employment hy the farmers in handling the various forage crops thereby guaranteeing from four to six mouthi steady work. The State will maintain free eoi- ployinent oil ices at Oklahoma City, Enid, Alva, Woodward, Frederick and other points in the State to help distribute men. Last week a notice appeared in the News calling for a meeting o f the citizens in order to ascer tain if it was desirable to cele brate the Fourth o f July. It seems that there was some mis- underscanding as to the time and place and no meeting was held. Falls City has an ideal place to celebrate and many from the valleys below would undoubtedly be glad oi an opportunity to take a day off to view the beautiful mountains, waterfalls and thp City itself. It would be better to have some amusement here than to have the people in this vicinity to mope at home or go to some other town. What shall be done? Want Road Work Rushed Council Meets The City Dads met in their re gular monthly Bession Tuesday night. The meeting was a very harmonious one. The State Mili tia patroled the street in front o f the building, but it is presumed that they were only at drill prac tice and not expecting trouble. The question o f street improve ment seems to be the most im portant business on hand and the pros and cons o f improvements on various streets was thorough ly discussed. An ordinance authorizing the construction of curb and full width macadam on third street north o f North Main street, 100 feet, was passed. There is a great deal o f work to be done that requires careful consideration and judgement that the best interests o f the property owners may be protected. The council appear to be giving this their attention and allowingevery one interested an opportunity to be heard. They adjourned to meet Tues day June 16.

VOLCANO ACTIVE IN NORTHERN CALIFORNIA A number o f citizens from Palls City went to Dallas Wednesday afternoon to confer with the county court in regard to the crushed rock the county is to fur nish for the roads in the vicinity o f Falls City.

The citizens o f Falls City are anxious to get their share o f the crushed rock. The court assured them that the mat ter would be adjusted and all possible haste be made to supply the rock. The following is a list of those who went: W. T. Grier, A. E. Meyer, M. L. Thompson, the white population o f Northern New Crater Verified J. C. Talbott. A. Sampson, W. R.

The weak positions jiantioned in last week’s News were excellent ly filled by the same players that have held these position. The only weak position in the Falls City team Sunday was Grayum, he being injured at Third and was too weak to finish the game. The excellent work of Sampson and Gordon as Battery with the best support Falls City can afford has won every game so far this season. Although Sunday was an unlucky day for Falls City players, they won. Gardner finish ed the game with one finger broken and sprained ankle. Henshaw with both ankles sprained and Grayum with a bruised leg. The rest of the team were sore over bad decisions of the Airlie empire. (F . C .)........ ...........................
