 James Trotter and C. L. Odell, we'll known attorneys of this city, were the instigators of the above telegram and stated that their reason for so doing was that after 20 years study of this ques- tion Oscar W. Underwood certainly knew what he was doing.
 ITO be consistent democrats and pro- mote the greed of the special interests, rather than the interests of the consumer we would rather hibernate" said MT Trotter.

 To Provide Drinking Fountains The Roberts School Improvement asso- citation has specific purpose and laud- able end in view In the production of the "Old Maids Convention a one aot comedy, to be given Thursday, April 27. at the auditorium. The cast has been made from the scores of pretty school girls. young teachers and society girls and Mrs Bert Lytle, an experienced and successful stage manager of several am- ateur performances, Is director. The proceeds from this entertainment will be used for the installation of san. itary drinking fountains in the yard of the Roberts school and window shades for the class rooms. These fountains will be used for the installation of san- modern solution of the old-fashionei drinking cup. There are two kinds un- der consideration, the continual flow and the pressure flow. Both eliminate the drinking cup, as in either case the child stoops over stream of water without ever touching his lips to any part of the fountain. The pressure flow has ring, with outlet in the center, that when pressed sends the water upward and both lave porcelain basins for the waste wa ter. At present the children of the Rob- erts school are obliged to drink from buckets with cups or dppers, as they cannot return<to the class rooms to the faucets thereA without violating rule of the school. The board of education has consented to put a cement floor aud ceiling in the basement and one drink | ing fountain on each floor of the various schools. The window shades are much | needed relief. as the teachers and pu- pills often suffer from headaches result | ing from the glare of the sun. | The association was organized in De- | tober, 1909, and has put coping around the lawn, planted ivy and trees, lev l eled the yard and supplied the school with towels and therefore they feel con | fident that their work has merited the | loyal support of the city in their latest | venture
