THE Upton OPENING
Magnificent New Trade Palace
Given Generous Reception.

H. IT, Upton gave Oskaloosa a new
: store Monday and the people of the
city generally gave Mr.. Upton and
his store reception that was beyond
anything management or assistants
had anticipated. While no business
was expected on Opening day" the
force was ready TO accommodate Gus.
toners. From the opening OF the
doors at ten o'clock in the morning
when more than one hundred ladies
entered the store, until ten o'clock,
evening, the store was thronged and
big business was done in all depart
ments. The store seemed to take
the ladies by storm and purchases
were made on the spot to obtain the
bargains. All special lines announced
for the day were early exhausted.
The new sore. No. l2l.123 High
avenue east, an ideal location, has
been made over for the convenience
lof the new occupant. The building
has new front, central entrance with
a fourteen foot recessed approach.
This makes a pair of handsome show
windows, finished in mahogany and
ldraperies, cardinal carpets on the
floor and French plate mirrors. On
the east of the big room are the
ready-to- wear garments, gowns, skirts,
suits and clOaks; on the west the mil
linery department. In the center,
with low built shelving and counters
to give a view OF the entire room, are
the other departments OF women's
wear, containing everything from
stockings to shirt waists and novel
| ties, lingerie, etc. Floors are COW
ered with handsome rugs, wood work
in mahogany, and scheme of var.
led decoration gives the room a pleas.
ing appearance. Across the north
end Of the room are the work apart
ments, retiring rooms, vaults, rest
room, etc, and other accommodations.
The work rooms are light, convenient,
we'll equipped and roomy. Toward
the rear of the room is a convenient
apartment for business office, cashier
and wrappers desk.
The working force at the opening
OF the new store Is as follows: II. T.
ITipton, proprietor and manager, and
the new store Is to be known as
'Tipton's." Miss Katherine Seibert,
manager OF "ready.to-Wear" depart
ment of suits, gowns and wraps Miss
Lulu Robertson has the department
of waists and novelties; Mrs. Nyna
b. Teel OF st. Louis is manager of
the millinery department; Miss Fern
Soseman, assistant saleslady. Miss
Jane Hamilton of st. Louis is head
trimmer and director OF the trimming
department. Miss Mabel Calhoun has
the direction of the fitting and alter
alton department. Sales assistants
are Misses Ethel Smith, Anna Parker
and Viola Gable. Miss Margaret
Riley is cashier.
Mr.. Upton is no stranger to Oska-
'loosa people. He has been at the
head OF the Oskaloosa Dry Goods
Company during a service that ex.
tends over a period of six years. He
came to Oskaloosa from Dyersburg,
Tennessee, and he made success of
the mercantile property under his
management. He likewise made
friends and built up or acquired an
acquaintance in city and county that
will be OF worth in the new store. Mr.
Upton will no doubt make good in
the new enterprise he has established.

THE SCHOOL ELECTION
Building Proposition Carried Mrs.
Rogers Chosen.

Voters of Oskaloosa at the annual
school election Monday declared in
faVor OF erecting a new school in
Fourth ward on the site of Grant
school, by a joint majority, men and
women, of $50. More men than wo-
men voted and the Fourth ward propo-
sition was carried by both men and
women, but the majority indicated In
the female vote was greater, more than
one hundred greater than that by
the men. Only 50 women voted
against the Fourth wards new scnool.
These same voters defeated the plea
for new school building in Second
ward, west of the NJ. & ST l.. tracks,
by majority of two votes. The sec
ond ward building was carried by the
men by l39 majority, but the women
entered protest of 1923 against the
school house for their sisters in the
Second ward, or defeat of 40, out
weighing the mems majority by two
votes.
IL Is claimed that had both PROPOSE
tons carried, both would have been
defeated, as the amount necessary for
the two buildings would have exceed
ed the constitutional limit of indebt-
ednesS for the school district and the
bond issue would not have been legal.
In the election of school director,
Mrs, Ettie Hoffman Rogers, formerly
superintendent of Mahaska county
schools, was elected over George II.
Carbon, who has served as board mem.
Der for eighteen years, continuous ser.
vice, a record that Is exceeded by no
other, member ever chosen to the
place. Mr.. Carbon has done a great
and good work in the district, but
he lays aside the duties imposed by
the position without a suggestion OF
regret. The Office passes to a wor-
thy successor. Mark Norman made
a splendid showing, coming within a
few votes of election.
Election day was marred by a
dowpour of rain in the afternoon, but
the ladies were not daunted by the in
clement weather, and the committees
in charge of the work have reason to
be proud of their efforts. Suffragettes
are also happy over the big showing
of Monday
Detailed figures are interesting and
worthy of consideration. Below Is
given the results:
