ROOSEVELT TOWN ;
OF PRETTY HOMES
Modern Little City Located in Geo-
graphical t enter of Kiowa Coun-
ty and is Growing
To begin with the beginning, Roos- e™1
evelt—the town, not the late presi-
dent of the United States— had its
origin on April 21, 1902, when
Charles E. Hunter, representative of
the Hes Line Townsite Company, ap-
peared before Probate Judge Harris
Finley, at Hobart, and had under the
$10-on-acre act, the forty acre^ of
public land upon which the town Was
established, set apart for townsite
purposes. This land was duly plat-
ted und sold to the public—to specur
lators and prospective homeaeekers
alike. .
Roosevelt is situated on the Frisco
railroad, twelve miles south and three
cast of Hobart, the county seat, and
an two of the moat important thor-
oughfares in the southwestern part
of the state, the D. C. D. and the
Star highways. It is also situated in
the heart of one of the best agricul-
tural sections of the state, and sup-
ported by a class of farmers whose
progressiyeness compares favorably
with that of any other community.
Thus fortunately situated so far as
natural advantages are concerned, it
is little wonder that the town has
prospered. However, it is not far
enough removed frqm other business
centers to permit its becoming a
large town, unless undiscovered re-
sources should be found and develop-
ed. But for all that, Roosevelt is a
prosperous town and has maintained
a uniform growth.
Roosevelt's business interests are
varied, and almost every industry us-
ually found in the averaged sized
towns of the southwest may be found
flourishing there.

ANOTHER FINE RAIN
Accompanied by a brilliant elec-
trical display, a heavy rainstorm swept
over southwestern Oklahoma Satur-
day night, leaving in its path more
than an inch of moisture. In Hobart,
the government gauge registered 1.04
inches, one of the heaviest downpours
that have fallen at one time in seV-
A week previously nice rains had
fallen, and removed the last traces of
the long drouth. The ,latest rain,
however, filled the ravines and pools
and will furnish enough stock water
for some time to come, to say noth-
ing of saturating the soil so thor-
oughly that the wheat crop is safe
until early spring.
Wi'jil plenty of moisture in tJhe
ground and a continuation of open,
warm weather wheat pasture should
be good within two weeks, and will and Altus the north goal.

manifested by the progressive people

town founded than they began laying
the foundation for good schools. The
first building was, as usual in new
towns, a temporary wooden structure,
which served the purpose for which
it was built until 1909, when it was
replaced by a substantial brick struc-

IIUSINESS CONSOLIDATION
A trade was consummated the lat-
ter part of last week whereby W. W.
Rowland, 11. Hunscn and C. T. Hayes,
the latter two doing business under
the firm name of Hansen & Hayes,
tiecome owners of the Rowland, White
and Walker Insurance agency.
The two ugencies have been con-
solidated and will be conducted as a
single business at the offices of Han-
sen & Hayes, at the Commercial Club
rooms, 107 West Fourth street.
Through the consolidation one
agency bus been eliminated from the
town, thus giving the purchasers a
broader field for their activities.
in addition to handling insurance
the company will do a general veal
estate and loan business.
All are men of experience and well
known in this part of the country and
will, doubtless, do a profitable busi-
ness. —

has been purchased and taken over
by the State Bank of Rocky and from
this date the two institutions will be
operated as one.
The State Bank of Rocky assumes
all obligations of the Citizens State
Bank and the business will be tran-

Bank.
Mr. Walter B. Stephens will be the
president of the consolidated institu-
tion. Frank Bolding, formerly of the
Citizens State Bank, will be in the con-
solidated bank as assistant cashier.
This action will be of real benefit
to Rocky and the community as one
bank with the fine farming resources
of that neighborhood will be much
better able to serve its customers
than by a division of the town's bank-
