Artists. Among the earlier artists
were Lebran, Watteau, Chardin and
David. The landscape paintings of Ca-
rot and Rousseau were studied, and
the tendencies of modern French
painting were illustrated in the works

afternoon in the home of Mrs. H. B.

roll call. The special topic for the day
was "The Correct Pronounciation of
Words frequently Mispronounced.''
given by Mrs. Byon Sampson, with in-
teresting discussions following. The
hostess served a salad course, and the
club was invited to meet on February
11, with Mrs. F. H. McGregor.
Miss Myrtle Rude spent the past
week with relatives and friends in
of the past year and discuss plans for
1922. The retrospective for the past
year was given by Mis. M. H. Dod-
son and W. F. Hearne. The Prospec-
tive for 1922 was discussed by Mrs.
H. E. Oakes and Elmer V. Jessee. The
review was most flattering and show-
ed much real service has been accom-
plished. The prospects were shown to
be many and the opportunity to work
in the present year represented as
suifcient to require the efforts of all.

The first of a series of games sched-
uled between the Greer County teach-
ers and the better school teams re-
sulted in defeat for the pedagogs.
Centralvue boys proved superior to
the men teachers in practically every
phase of the game. The teachers had
collected a group of brilliant individ-
ual stars but that most valuable of all
qualities— teamwork— was lacking.
The game was replete with sensation-
age had their doubts removed if they
heard the addresses of the ladies' on
this occasion. There were well deliv-
ered and showed both ability to know
and grasp the problems of the time
and place. Mangum men may well lis-
ten and learn from our women.
The Address of W. F. Hearne was,
as are all his efforts, of the highest
character, and pointed and brief, yet
full of detail arid goo t sense. He sure-
ly convinced all present of the bene
fits and good purposes and accom-
plished results of the organization.
The so-called speech of Elmer V.
Jessee was too long and rather too
idealistic for the time and place. It is
likely that he talks too often and too
much and lays out too elaborate a
scheme to be practical. He is said to
be an expert at telling others what to
do. His speech almost put the men to
sleep and threw the ladies into near-
hysterics. He suggested a public li-
brary, a public park, liberal support
of schools, more residences for Man-
gum, a strong loyalty for the Home
Town, complete support of the mem-
bers toward the orgainzation, Beauti-
fying of the City and the Homes
therein, Preaching of the doctrine of
Crop rotation and diversification, pure
.seeds, smaller farms and better farm-
ing, procuring gas for Mangum (Ye >n unity. Centralvue's defense was
Gods) and a moral campaign. It was j never able to fathom the teachers'
enough to asphixic.te, exterminate manner of play. "* /
The Marms displayed exceptional
DjOs were called for there was no of-
ler because there was no market for
the bonds. This was on account of
there being only one street in posi-
tion to pave, which street was West
Pierce. Mr. Young has offered thru
City Engineer, to accept bonds for
paving as much as 25000 square yards
at $3.50 per square yard for the pav-
ing. This is within the specification on
the last offer, which received no bids.
It is said the West Pierce and West
Jefferson, and the streets leading to
the two depots would come within the
requirements, and it is understood
that ti.e majority of the people on the
streets above named favor the paving
at the price specified in the last set of
figures compiled by the Engineer. If
Mangum could only Pave Pierce and
Jefferson to the west and the two
streets leading on to the depots we
would be mighty proud of the city
sure enough. The above price is for
the paving only and it is suggested
that on some of these strets th<» curb
and gutter expense might be almost
ehtirely eliminated.

"Among Those Present" introduces
Lloyd as a dapper young hotel "but-
tons" anxious to be as "swell" as the
gentlemen who leave their coats in hi*
safekeeping in the check room.
He is hired to masquerade as Lord
Abemathy, thinking it only a joke,
and many of the laughs are caused by
his efforts to live up to the titled one's
reputation as a hunter and horseman.
When Lloyd finds he has been used
as a dupe in a plot to relieve the papa
of the girl he loves of some of his re-
cently earned dollars, he puts a neat
little spoke in the villain's wheel, and
brings the picture to a close with a
typical Harold Lloyd touch. February

REX LEWIS COAST TO COAST
WALKER
We were visited by Rex Lewis Mon-
day. He is on his way from the east
and north where he has been hiking
in search of health. He says he thinks
he has found it. When he left the gov-
ernment hospital in Arizona he was
nearly gone. In fact he weighed only
104 pounds and was told he could not
live more than a month. An old Sioux
Indian Chief told him to get out of
doors and walk a plenty. He has been
doing it since January 1, 1921. He
walkad through Louisiana, New York
Maine, Canada and back down the
Lincoln Highways to Chickasha,
where he is taking the Coast to Coast
Highway home. He now weighs 160
pounds. He carries a 33 pound pack
and makes his expenses selling poems
which he has written. The Star print-
ed him a couple hundred of these
poems to start him off on his next
trip toward Hollywood, California,
his home. He was gassed in the West-
em front during the wai; at Cha-
teau Thierry. Before the war he was

ville circuit.
dues but had "forgotten. As each fel-
low got in good with the Legion, he
at once joined in the fun and boosted
the work. Most of the fellows were
given a jail sentence and locked up at
the City Hall for a short time, and
many pranks were pulled by those in-
side.
The Legion hopes the advertising
and interest in the organization that
will come from this drive will result
in a continuation of increase in mem-
bership and its work in the entire
community.
MOVES UP TOWN
G. J. Crossland & Company have
purchased the Penn Filling Station at
the northeast corner of the square
and will move their offices into that
location. If a suitable contract can be
made with the Masons and the

additional office room and beautify

"World Conquerors and Their Sec-

At the evening service, which be-
gins at seven-thirty, the third of the
special sei-mons to young people, the
last in the series, will be delivered.
The theme will be "Wedding Bells,"
and problems related to marriage will
be frankly discussed. From letters
ceived from Mangum young people,
the pastor will read answers to such
questions as "What is the shortest
proper length for an engagement?"
"What should a bojj's income be be-
