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?

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.

A number o f citizens from Palls

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

there is about a mile and a half
o f road between here and the
Feedee neighborhood that needs
rocking in order that the farmers
of that neighborhood can get to
Falls City during the rainy
weather. 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

Base Ball
The Falls City base ball team
wou their fourth game last Sunday
at Airlie by a score of 4 to 8.
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.
