Two government trucks were
received in Altus Monday to be
used in constructing hard sur-

Nash Quads, four wheel drive
and are just aa good as new.
They had been driven less than
five hundred miles when Messrs.
Reid and Bowen, the county en*
gineers got them at Oklahoma
City. While these trucks were
constructed for csrrying smuni-
tion they are well adapted for
road construction purposes.
The government furnished the
trucks through the State High-
way department and they let
them go at $500 each. As the
the affair a success. The general
idea of it all-is to ahow the pub*
lie just bow large the electrical
industry is. and how varied its.
application are.
All the big jobbers and manu-
factures of things electrical will
have repreoentatives here for
the purpose of demonstrating
everything electrical. An effort
is being made to enlist the ser-
vices of the Domestic Science
Class of the City Schools which
if successful will aid greatly in
practical demonstrations of cook-
ing by elictricity.

Rev. Lee Leavss Akas
Rev. Geo. W. Lee, who has
been psstor of the First Christiaa
Church for about two years, has
resigned and accepted the pasto-
rate of the Christian Chun& at
Sulphur, Oklahoma.
In his leaving, his church has
lost an able pastor, the city and
community a citizen, whose stay
here was a benefit to all, and it
is with regret that our people
part with him. While we deplore
his leaving, we'll cheerfully con-
mend him and his good wife to
the church and good people of
Sulphur aa worthy of their es-
teem and confidence.
The funeral services of the
three year old boy of Mr. and
Mrs. Bond who drank poison in
a drug store at Mangum, on last
Saturday, was held at the M. E.
Church last Sunday at 2 o'clock
p. m. The parents live near
Hester. The parents have the
sympathy of the entire commu-
nity.
Kind of Clothes You Want For
A CALL FOR
ORGANIZATION
Locai Branch of the American Cotton
Association to be Organized in
Jackson County
Col. Shackelford, of Georgia, a
well known cotton producer and
leader among the cotton growers
of America, visited Altus last
Wednesday night, but as his
train was late and the meeting
not well adver ised he did not
organize the local branch of the
American Association as intend-
ed. However, plans are being
made for going forward with
the organization.
The American Cotton Associa-
tion has for its purpose the rais-
ing of a fund of practically one
billion dollars for the purpose of
financing the cotton crops of the
future. Warehouses are to be
erected in various localities where
cotton may be stored and] money
loaned the farmers on same un-
til such time as the marketing
conditions are favorable. This
will afford a great relief to the
cotton grower and will be the
means of absolutely insuring a
fair price for his crop.
The bankers snd business men
throughout the cotton states are
taking an active interest in this]
movement. They are vitally in-
terested in the cotton producer
getting a good price, hence they
are taking memberships in this
great organization.
At the request of Col. Shack-
elford we hereby issue a call for
the farmers, bankers and busi-
ness men of Jackson county to
assemble at the District court
room in Altus, Monday, Nov. 21
at 10 a. m. to organize the Amer-
ican Cotton Association in this
county.

don't intend to let the other fellow beat them to it.
We haven't been able to keep up with the demsnd all

increasing demand for Kuppenheimer clothes, and this year
the demand is greater by far than ever before.
