Little Interest, Being Manifested
Coming Election. Women Will
Exerciae Ballot for First Time
Although a complete set of city of-
ficers is to be elected in the city
election to be held next Tuesday
March the 1st, yet very little interest
so far has been manifested.
Some of the places are not being
contested. In three of the four wards,
there is no contest for councilman's
place. Frank E. Penn is unopposed
for Treasurer of the Board of Educa-
tion, and C. T. Akers has no oppon-
ent for member of Board of Education
in ward two. J. Commodore Partrau
Is the only one filed for City Treas-
urer's place. In ward one the voters
have four candidates for councilman
to pick two from. Each ward la ,-up-
posed to elect two councllmen, while
in ward three tad four, no onj filed
for councilman and the present in-
cumbents will hold over. A vacancy
already exists in ward three. W. H.
Morrison being the only councilman
from that ward at the present time.
Two candidates are in the -ace for
city clerk's place and a little interest
is being shown In the rat*
In ward three and four exists a con-
test for member of Board of Educa-
tion. Ed Wheeler and Ed Hines are
the contestants in Hvard three for
this place and In ward four Mrs.
Vashti Stone seeks the place held
by W. T. Ford. In most of the cities
women are seeking places on the
school board, and it is yet to see
whether Cordell will have a woman
on the Board of Education C. W.'
Tisdal's name was filed for member
of Board of Education from ward on-;
but some question exists as to wheth-
er this place Is to be filled at this
election or not. H. C. Dornev was
appointed in A. J. Young's p'ace some
dairy tho : ppolntment hoMi pood
only until the first election while
others claim that school board num-
bers are appointed to fill the unex-
pired term Possibly this will be set-
tled before election day.

Owing to Condition of Weather Old
Clothing for Red Cross Was Not
Collected Last Monday.
Because of the very Inclement
weather last Monday the drive to
collect the old clothing tor the Red
Cross was postponed until next Fri-
day afternoon, when the same plans
were made for the drive Monday will
be carreid out.
Everyone Is requested to gather up
all the old clothing they can spare and
give them to this very muqh needed'
cause. You are requested to have
them bundled and placed on the front
porch where they can be seen and
gotten next Friday afternoon, when
cars yrill make every part of the town
to collect the clothing. The collec-
tion room will be the ladles rest
room at the court house. Any who
fail to get their clothing ready for
the cars Friday afternoon are asked
to bring them to the collection room
at the court house. If it is not pos-
sible for you to get them delivered
call Superintendent Cannon, 290. and
he will get them delivered.
Our Allies are dying from cold and
hunger just as surely as if they were
still being mowed down by machine
guns and cannon. THEY MUST
HAVE CLOTHING. In the drive last
fall this country furnished five thous-
and tons of clothing to the Belgians.
During the week from March the 24th
to the 31st this country through the
Red Cross is asked to raise twice as
large a collection—ten thousand tons.
It is going to take united effort and
cooperation to do this, but It must
and will be done.
The Junior Red Cross has always
proved themselves very efficient and
energetic and again they are being
looked to, to help
The rest room at the court house
will be the collection room for Coi-
dell, and it is suggested by the Red
Cross that each school house through
out the county be designated as the
col.ectjbn point for each particular
school distrlnt. The teachers are
especially requested to take Interest
in this work and try to enlist every
pupil in helping to put the county
over the top The drive should be
made In every district of the county
not later than next Monday night, and
the lesult of the drive reported to
W. H. Cannon, who has charge of I
the drive.
Following 1s a list of the articles !
that are very much desired:
Shoes, soft hats, and above all blan-
kets are^asked for. Bed ticks (empty)
sheets, pillow cases, scrap leather to
mend shoes, shirts, and pajamas. I)o
not include any of the following ar-
ticles, ball dresses high straw and

Chamber of Commerce haa Definite-
ly Decided to Arrange for Big
Reunion of Washita Co. Boya.
Under the direction of the Cham-
ber of Commerce a big soldier reunion
will be held here some time in May.
The date for holding it Is very likely
to be the 30th of May Decoration
Day. However, the exact date Is yet
to be set. but will be agreed upon and !
announced later.
The plan will be to have every boy j
whose home is in Washita county
who has returned from the service |
already, present at the meeting and
given especial place on the program.
Also the parents of the boys will be
invited and especially requested to
attend.
A great number of the boys who
went into the service have already '
returned and this meeting will be held
to show our appreciation and honor
to them tor what they did and offered
to do. A number who have already
returned will soon scatter making it
impossible to have present anything
like the number from this county who
went into the service, and this meet-
ing is planned at thia time in order
to include as many as posslbte who
have already returned.
Of course a large number of the
boys from this county are In the
Thirty Sixth and Ninetieth divisions
from which a very few have returned.
The boys of these divisions are like-
ly to be released as a unit and their
return can and should be celebrated
by the people of this county. The
Ninetieth is expected to return In
June and possibly the Thirty Sixth
will arrive just about as soon, then
In July will be a good time to hold
another big reception for the boys of
these divisions.
A strong effort Is going to be put
forth to make the gathering In May
a great event. An elaborate program
will be arranged, and will be .*ome-
thlng no one of the county ran «f- •
lord to miss. Everyone should watch
for the date and program of this
event, which will be the biggest thing
pulled off in this county. The Cham-
ber of Commerce has a committee
working out the details.

meeting was held and luncheon given
by the Chamber of Commerce hee
last Friday night at the Chamber of
Comemcre ooin at the court house.
Attorney S. C Massingale made a
talk on community affairs and espec-
ially emphasized the fact that Cordell
was badly in need of better hotel fa-
cilities. and those present agreed with
him that the town needs more and
better hotel facilities than she nqw
has A good opening exists here for
a good modern hotel, and it is a prop-
osition that the people of Cordell
should give no lltle attention until the
conditions along this line are im-
proved.
The two candidates for mayor. It
I. Harvey and H. I). Young, made
^hort talks on municipal affairs. Mr
Harvey spoke on the future develop- j
ment of Cordell, mentioning the im- I
provement of the city water supply
by adding a filtering process at the
lake, also mentfoned some improve-
ments that might be made in con-
nection with the city park. Mr Young
spoke on the value of cooperation e*
pe< tally in handling local problems

After the program the Civic League

by all. Everyone agreed that there
kinds of meetings should be held of-
tener, especially the eating part.

In the report just received by coun-
ty Superintendent Albert Eaton from
the state Superintendent giving a de-
tailed report of all the schools of ev-
ery county in the state shows that
the schools of Washita county rank
considerably higher than the average
county especially in per cent of at-
tendance.
Some of the school districts of the
county have in the last Tew years
made considerable improvement in
school matters, especially In the way 1
of buildings. A number of school ;
buildings have been built lately and
iu most instances modern buildings
Jtave been constructed. 1
The following was taken from the
repoit that was compiled by the State
Superintendent and applies only to

The formal opening of the new
Dixie store at Chickasha took place
there last Friday March 2lsc Thia
adds to Chickasha another big store.
The store at Chickasha is hard:y
as big a store as the Dixie store here.
This additional store will be an ad-
vantage to the store here and at
Sentinel, as It will cause purchailng
to be made ln larger lots. The store
here will remain the main or«. and
will carry a complete tin-? cf r.tcds.
The Dixie store here is one of the
largest. If not the largest, stores oi
Its kind west of Oklahoma City and
the people of Cordell and Washita
county should feel complimented
tor such.
The following was taken from the
Chickasha Daily Press:
Five thousand people according
to the estimate of Chas. I. Miller and
Ben Levine. managers thronged th*
Dixie store last night from 7:45 un-
til 10 o'clock, the formal opening ot
Chickasha.s new establishment car-
rying a >75.000 atock of general mer-
chandise.
The immense display of the mer-
chandise, flowers that added elabo-
ration to the occasion, and music by
the O. O. Gulihur orchestra featured
the occasion last night, when the
largest crowd that ever assembled
In a Chickasha store witnessed what
many say was the most successful
occasion of its kind ever attempted
ln this city. A complete line of mca'
clothing, men's shoes, ladies' ready-
to-wear and milinery; in fact, a gen-
eral line of merchandise, purchaser
in the large markets of the east com-
pose the Dixie store stock.
Managers Miller and Levlae open-
ed the doors of the store for the for-
mal opening at 8 o'clock and fire
minutes thereafter, both floors of the
house were crowded with
workers. The building remained
jammed with people until the store
was closed at 10 o'clock.
Interest was manifested in every
department; the men's shoe depart-
ment on the west half of the first
floor; the dry goods and notions sec-
tion on the east half and the ladies'
ready-to-wear and millinery depart-
ment on the second floor.
"We are more than pleased witli
the success of our formal opening."
Mr. Miller said this morning. "We
made every attempt to give our
friends and customers everything ta
make the occasion elaborate, and have -
received many compliments from
other merchants as well as bnvera.
"We established the Dixie store in
Chickasha, believing that this town
was the proper place for the store of
this standard, and we are not sur-
prised. We are in Chickasha to <hy "
Messrs. Miller and Levine own amif
control two other stores ln this state;
one at Cordell and another at Senti-
nel. Goods are purchased for all
stores and thus enables the manage-
ment to buy in large quantities.
"Strictly first class merchandise at
the lowest possible cash price." Is
the slogan of the Dixie store." the
managers state. „
