BOARD SHORT OF FUNDS.

Special to The World
OKLAHOMA CITY. Aug. The
provisions of law passed by the
legislature a few years ago made it
possible for the school land depart
ment to buy county bonds, and a, con-
siderable portion of the money was
invested in these bonds under the
arrangement of which they would not
become due until 1918. The depart
ment has been making a number of
loans lately and is running short Of
money for that purpose. 1t has been
proposed to the counties from which
bonds were purchased that they can
be redeemed at any time, and this
would give the department an oppor-
tunity to get in money that has been
advanced on these bonds. Several
counties. among them being Wash
lngton, Pontotoc, Roger Mills, Mar
snail and Atoka, have taken advan-
tage of the offer and have redeemed
the bonds.

Demand of Unions for Increase of 10

Rock Island is facing a painters

issued demands to the master painters
for an increase of 10 cents an hour
in wages and so far their demands
have been rejected. Another meeting
is scheduled to be held between the
boss painters and union representa-

an agreement will be reached in time
to prevent the strike. Present scale
for union painters is so cents an hour
and an eight-hour day.
The union painters in Moline and
Davenport have made similar demands
and have met with more success, a
number of master painters having al
ready signed the new scale. ]. P. Rice,

mitted this afternoon that the walkout
would result by Monday if the de-
mands were not met with.

keepers Should Place Refuse
There for Collection.

Although the city has already begun
the task of cleaning the city alleys,
the real business of city houseclean-
ing will not begin until next week,
which has been agreed upon as the
time for the spring cleanup, the city
and Rotary club to cooperate with the
civic department Of the Rock Island
Woman's club in the endeavor.
The city wagons are now collecting
garbage placed in the alleys and it is
up to the housekeeper to clean up her
attic and basement and yard and de-
post the refuse in the alleys if she
wishes to have it carted away. She
should, however, be careful of the
manner in which she places material
in the alleys, for unless she uses care
the wind will carry paper, loosely
thrown there, over the city onto the
streets and yards and make a very
unsightly appearance.
Many householders have already put
their yards and boulevards into shape
and it is hoped by the end of next
week to have the city cleaning we'll
on the road to completion.
The city incinerator will dispose
of all refuse, even burning tin cans
and similar refuse, and if these artl-
cles are placed in the alley in time for
collection it will materially help mat
ters.
