MORE CASH MONEY FOR|
TULSA SCH00L-TEACHER
Board of Education Boosts
Salaries an Additional
Two-Fifty a Month.

In the matter OF salaries paid Tulsa
schoOl-teachers tho board Of cduca-
tion voted to boost the teachers $3.50
on the month. while the principals
viii be enriched 81 additional every
month they are In the service of the
municipality. THIS action was deemed
advisable because Of the continued In
crease In living expenses and that
perhaps the teachers salaries were
not as large as they might be.
In addition to granting this wage
increase the board approved the con-
tract for the erection of six rooms In
the substory OF the Washington school
at a cost OF $4,000. A committee was
also appointed to oversee the COM
pletion OF the Usage, Lincoln and
Sequoyah schools.
Crowded condition of the schools
has caused the board considerable .
worry this year as In past years. this
congestion being felt in every section
OF the city and at West Tulsa bust
ness rooms In the heart OF the city
have been rented and are being used
as class rooms.

BLOODY STORIES ARE

Different Kind Of Publicity
Needed and World Pro-
poses to Give 1t.

One hundred men in Oklahoma have
been either proved guilty OF draft re-
sistance or are being tried or have
been indicted

In Tulsa by a dynamite bomb.
A bank robber was shot to death on
the streets Of Tulsa yesterday
The above are some OF the stories
that the people outside this state read
In the press dispatches. Upon such
stories people often base their opin-
ion of state or a community.
Not n rosy picture Of Tulsa and
Oklahoma is it2
While these are incidents in the life
OF this state and are likely to happen
In any other state. Oklahoma is prac-
tically new state, and strangers are
prone to still associate this great COM
monwealth with train robbers and out
laws.
The World intends to get on a spe-
cial edition that will tell the other side
or the story OF Tulsa and Oklahoma
tell about the state being the first IN
the production of oil and gas; first IN
alfalfa. first In broomcorn, first in
sorghum products, first In cement AMI

and muleg.t fourth in coal, first In
zinc. eleventh In oats. We are going
to tell about two and three quarters
million people in the state, and about
Tulsa's sixty-five thousand-we are
going to print a picture of the new
skyline of Tulsa. pictures of a thou
sand modern residences. pictures OF
5-story skyscrapers. street view. and
views of parks, churches, etc. We are
going to tell that this state Is the sixth
in the union In paying income taxes.
and tell about Tulsa having more
bank deposits than the total deposits
of some states Of the country. Incl
dentally we will mention that Tulsa
bought S13.h00,000 worth OF Liberty
bonds, and tell a few other important
and pertinent facts that will make the
whole country SIT up and take notice.

COUNCIL
WARNS TRAITORS
Blank Wall and Firing Squad
May Be in Vogue Soon; Day
of Wrath Coming.

Special to The World.
OKLAHOMA CITY, Nov. ga
blank wall and a firing squad may
soon be the remedy for pro- German
ism In Oklahoma in the few sections
where 1t exists" declares the Okla
homa State Council Of Defense, In
sending out to its members warning
to take every precautiOn to protect
stores Of foodstuffs from incendiary
fires. The statement comes as a re-
suit OF the destruction of foodstuffs
In north and east thru German agents
and as a result of the realization of
what German propaganda and the
German spy system have done In Rus
sia and Italy. The work OF German
agents was also evident in the food
pledge campaign In this state.
Every American" the statement
continues, must realize that we are
at war. that our lads are already at
the front. that that man who Is not
aiding in Americas fight aaginst Ger
slaughter his neighbors sons.
I'VE must realize that a few traitors
in our midst can kill. indirectly. more
American boys than can entire bat
talions OF Prussian soldiers. We must
realize that a disloyal remark is an
assasSsin's shot at every boy wearing
khaki.
Those living In America can be OF
but two classes. Americans or enc
niles. Protection for our own lads at
tho front and for our own mothers
and children and homes demands that
enemies among us be kept behind
bars only until that punishment all
traitors deserve can be meted out to
them"
A timely warning is also sent to
those who make statements without
realizing that they are placing them.
selves in the class with traitors. Be-
the statement says, you may
make prO-German remarks and not
be molcsted now. But day of wrath
Is coming in America just as surely
as 1t came in England and France and
In the countries Of other Of our allies.
The careless statement you make to-
day will arise like a specter at some
future date and brand you as mur-
derer among your neighbors, whose
sons have been killed In battle"
Mucn information concerning dis
loyal statements has been turned over
to federal authorities by the Okla
homa State Council Of Defense. Pa
triotic citizens should report such
things to the council headquarters.

third place. The pitching staff. how
ever. was not OF the best, and II Is
probably that an attempt will be made
TO inject little vim into the hurlers.
II Is also possible that n younger man
will be procured to take the place OF
Jack Miller at the Keystone sack.
Managers Dissatisfied.
II is the Chicago. Pittsburgh. Brook
lyn, Philadelphia and Boston clubs
that the great changes will be made.
The owners and managers of these
clubs have expressed more or less dis
satisfaction at the way their athletes
have been performing, and are bent on
building winning ball clubs, either
thru the purchase or trading OF play
ers. President Weeghman of the
Chicago Cubs has announced that he
is going to get new blood into the
Bruins lineup and that he is willing
to spend 100000 TO accomplish II.
The greatest change in the Cubs
team win be made In the pitching and
catching departments. The outfield Is
strong as II stands, should Leslie Mann
come back. Charley Deal and Charley
Pechous are hardly up to the task Of
guarding third base, but II is probable
that Safer. Kilduff and Hollocher will
be seen at first, second and shortstop
respectively.
Ebbcts Disappointed.
The poor showing Of the Brooklyn
Dodgers was one OF the surprises of
the 1917 season. and certainly was a
keen disappointment to President Eb-
bets and Manager Robinson. Almost
n new club is being planned, with
Daubert the only man on the team
being assured of a job. Georgle Stall
ngs. OF the Braves, can use three new
nfielders to build around Rabbit
at shortstop. Among other
things he will be glad to find new
outfielder, n catcher and one or two
hurlers.
Hugo Bezdek, of the Pirates, has
only two fixtures-Carey and Fred
Mollwiu. He has plenty of good
pitchers who are able to throw win
ming ball II they are given support.

"a lamentable feature of the cam
paign was the injection of n serious
issue by defaming some of our most
loyal citizens in a hystericnl attempt
to abuse their patriotism.
Hylan carried all five boroughs of
greater New York. His best showing
was in Brooklyn. where Bennett

conceded by the managers of all par
ties that many of the votes cast for
Bennett would have gone to Mitchell
II he had been the Republican nomi-
nee, but Benefits total for more than

that he thot they were making only

possibly on cigarets and smoking
tobacco.
The railroads were partially blamed
for the sugar shortage here I'm tele-

should sell only a limited amount to
each purchaser. In that way we can
prevent another shortage In all prob
