We Separate the Dirt
from the Garment
DIRT IS VERY NECESSARY TO HUMAN LIFE, BUT IT ISN'T
NECESSARY ON A GARMENT.
HOWEVER, IT WILL GET THERE.
WHEN THAT HAPPENS, BRING IT TO US AND LET US RE-
MOVE IT.
WE'LL DO THIS PERFECTLY, AND WITHOUT INJURING THE
GARMENT IN THE LEAST.
Get the "Tailor Made" Habit
IT IS AN EASY HABIT TO GET, BUT AN AWFUL HARD ONE TO
BREAK.
BUT, THEN, ONCE YOU GET IT YOU'LL NEVER WANT TO
BREAK IT—IT'S TOO PLEASANT.
WE WANT TO MAKE YOUR HOLIDAY SUIT—WE'LL TURN YOU
OUT A SUIT THOROUGHLY IN KEEPING WITH YOUR STANDING
IN LIFE AND THAT WILL BE "DRESSY" UNTIL WORN OUT.
Don't throw away that old hat. Bring it to us and
have it blocked and cleaned. : : : : :

ed of over three hundred and seven-
ty-five thousand doljars for the War

Prisons of War Camps and will assure
our soldiers and sailors of the united
backing of the "folks at home."
It gives me pleasure to enclose our
Treasurer's receipt for your check of
$3687.75. Sometime I hope to have the
pleasure of telling you and your peo-

tion and cooperation.
Very cordially yours,

Soldier Boy Wedded Here
A wedding at the home of Mr. and
Mrs. Amos C. Williams last evening
was an event of interest in this city
though both parties were strangers to

of Company M. 137th Infantry and
Miss N'ina Reaser. of New Cambri^,
Kan., were -made man and wife. The
hride is a niece of Mr. Williams, and
arrived here Monday. Mr. Kohr and
an associate from, the camp came over
Wednesday .afternoon, artd the cere-
mony was performed at 8 o'clock by-
Rev. J. G. Winsett. Mr. and Mrs. Kohr
will probably remain over Sunday at
the Williams home.
Let Us Give Thanks
Let us thank the Almighty Provider for the bounteous harvests,
not of grain or fruit or cotton alone, but of minerals and other
substances of nature which the cause of righteousness so earnestly
needs.
Let us give thanks for the loyal and ennobling spirit with which
men and women are giving their all, that the most precious heritages
of civilization may be preserved.
Let no give thanks for the strength and unity and leadership with
which this great crusade has been endowed, and go fortb to teat with
courage born of faith, with a song and a sword, till the hosts of in-
iquity shall be forced to their knees with solemn acknowledgement
that "Government of th» people, by the people, and for the people
shall not perish from the earth."
Store Closed All Day Thanksgiving
Vote for the water proposition next
Tuesday. Altus must have water, and
under the proposition as submitted we
haw nothing to lose and everything to
gain.
CONVENTION AT
LAWTON WAS GREAT
Warm Fight On Last Day Between
Delegates From Old Scenic Trail
And Southern Route
The Military Highway Convention
was red-hot. The session held by Col.
William H. Harvey last Thursday and
Friday at Lawton was pronounced one
of the warnie«K tussels: that has ever
been known in the good roads conven-
tions. Col. Harvey declared it had more
general interest in it and would create
more sensation, especially the Military
Highway, than any convention he had
ever held.
The parade, on the opening day, was
an imposing array of cars from many
parts of the country, and three military

Hoover lunches are of frequent oc-

Club of late, and the gathering at the
Queen Cafe at 7:30 Tuesday evening
was one. cyL the most pleasant happen-

and promoted at these meetings, but
the affair of Tuesday evening was of a
more social nature, and the presence
of some noted visitors and speakers
gave the program an unusual interest.
