ALTUS TIMES-DEMOCRAT, VOL. 18, NO. 42
ALTUS, OKLAHOMA, OCTOBER 14, 1920
OFFICIAL CITY AND COUNTY PAPER
AUDIT SHOWS CITY
FINANCES SOUND
The Board of Auditor# of the SHaw-
ness Audit Company have just complet-
ed an audit of the city records and
were pleased to state that the "finan-
cial condition of Ihe city of Altus is in
first class condtion and ranks second
in the State; in cities of this class hav-
ing aldcrmanic form of government."
The city was especially congratulat-
ed on the excellent condition of the
sulking fund which at present consists
of $23,000 in cash and $98,000 invested
in bonds; a part of the latter being in-
vested in City bonds. Of this amount
Altus owns $15,000 of the city bonds
issued for the construction of the city
sewer system and $12,000 of the bonds
issued for the City Hall.
It was found that the revenue from
the Water & Light Department was
practically one-third more this year as
compared with the previous year. How-
ever, the net earnings were but little
more, due to the increased cost of labor,
fuel and the general expenses.
The fines collected through the police
^•ourt have maintained the Policc De-
partment the past year, while the same
time only $12.50 was expended for the
board of city prisoners.
The audit further shows that the
Mayor in transacting City business had
overpaid into the treasury $26.
The Mayor and Council are highly
pleased with the result of the audit and
are to be highly congratulated by the
citizens of Altus for the sound, prac-
tical manner in which they have con-
ducted the affairs of the city during
past year.
Fine Art Exhibit
A very interesting art exhibit by Mrs.
W. T. Williams attracted a number of
that lady's friends and patrons to her
home on East Live Oak Street several
afternoons last week, and all who went
were well rewarded. Several large
paintings, the best work' of Mrs. Wil-
liams' skillful brush, and some beauti-
ful smaller but none th& less artistic
studies were shown, and from the beau-
tiful collection numerous sales were
made and orders taken. A very de-
lightful refreshment of ice cream ac-
companied by delicious strawberry pre-
serves that were brought back by Mrs.
Williams from her receut visit to her
old home in Wisconsin, was served by
ilrs. P. K. Morrill.

MIDWAY TO VOTE
ON BOND ISSUE
The Midway school district at a
mass meeting held October 4th. signed
a petition for a ten thousand dollar

school trucks, repair-the building and
employ more teachers.

consideration and the petition was not

ALTUS RAISES HALF
OF ARMY FUND
The Ctiy of Altus raised nearly $1,-
500 of the $3,000 apportiofted to Jack-
son county for her share e>f the Sal-
vation Army Budget for the coming
year. Complete returns from through-
out the county are not in and the exact
amount collected during the past week
is not known, but the committee is sure
that lackson county will not fall short
of the $3,000.
Owing textile fact that some of the
people assigned to work the city a.nd
county were not able to do so some in
the county have not been called on; but
in order that all may have an oppor-
tunity to aid and assist in this work
the account and subscription list will
not be closed for a few "days. So, if
you have not been sol'iciteel—when the
solicitor .does see you—dig up, not a
dime, or a half or a dollar, but a five,
twenty or more. Remember it is your
annual gift to the Salvation Army; put
in as much as you would if the tam-
borine were to be shoved before you
once a week for 52 wee-ks. And re-
member that you will not be asked for
any more gifts tor the Army for an
other \ear.

Fathers, Mothers, Townspeople, Fac-
ulty, School Children—All Cel-
ebrate After Lawton Game
All' high school hike—in which fath-
ers, mothers, townspeople, faculty and
high school studens are expected to
participate, will be held here after the
Lawton game, Oct. 22, one week from
Friday.
Pete Kimberlin, president of the Ath-
letic Association and captain of the
football team, and Elsie McDaniel, sec-
retary-trcasurer of the A. A., have ap-
pointed committees which are busily at
work. One is to pick out the grounds
for the hike, one is to bring wood and
place it ready for the dozens of fires
over which the crowd will toast their j
wiennies and marshmallows; another is j
to get plenty of eats there for every-
body; and still another is to arrange j
for a short, snappy program.
To celebrate the victory of Altus
high school over Lawton is the imme-
diate purpose of this all-high school
hike; but the underlying cause is a. de-
sire on the part of the high school fac-
ulty to meet the fathers and mothers
and townspeople of Altus, and to have
them see a demonstration of the school
spirit the, high school has this year.
This spirit is * not beingj directed to-
ward football alone, but a good scho-
lastic record ^is being made, and-other
student activities are being given at-
tention. Glee Clubs, debating, tennis,
high school annual, lvceum and an or-
chestra are claiming the attentiem of
many students.
Altus will practically have the State
championship in football if she. defeats
Lawton one week from Friday. The
game will be held at the fair grounds.
Lawton beat Chickasha 22 to 0 two
weeks ago. Last week Chickasha de-
feated Oklahoma City with a score of
17 to 6, therefore if the Altus team
downs Lawton she also has the marks
on Chickasha and Oklahoma City. On-
ly three trams besides Altus are in
the race for State honors Lawton.
Muskogee and Cherokee.
Final announcement of plans for the
All High School Hike'will be made
later. The full co-operation of the par-
ents and people of Altus who are in-
terested in the progress of the high
school is expected.

ALTUS HIGH
SURPRISES NORMAN
Unknown Team from Southwest Shown
Stellar Sqaad of Central How to
Play Football
"Hello, kid, where yuh from?" orie
of* the many sarcastic inquiries as to
the school they represented received toy
the Altus eleven when they appeared on
the Norman field last Friday aheraooo,
changed to, "Did you ever gee a team
hold Norman like that?" before the
first half was over.
Altus outplayed Norman from start
to finish, is the verdict of everyone
who saw the game. Beginning with a
rush the Jackson county boys played
their hosts a hard fast game. Ross
Jackman recovered a Norman fumble
and doubled the field for sixty-five
yards for a touchdown, outrunning a
man chosen for the all state team last
year because of his speed.
Norman punted; and advanced the
ball to within three inches of the Al-
tus goal with a first down. The first
triel advanced the ball another inch.
Three more trials and the referee turn-
ed the-ball around and called, "100 yds.
to the Norman goal." Only a line
which works together te> a man could
hold such a team as Norman's from
advancing three inches in four downs.
The score stood t> to 0 in Altus' favor

Nqv. 16. 23. and 30.

number of misspelled words found in and Herschal Crow, who had followed
the ADVERTISEMENTS appearing in j the ball down the field, threw him-
self on it, making the second touch-
down for Altus. Norman made a touch-
down the first part of the third quarter,
and later kicked two field goals. The
punter was the outstanding player in
their squad. The game ended with
the score standing 12 to 12.
Norman would never have scored had
her coach not thrown in five fresh
players, three in the line and two in
the backfield, at the beginning of the
third quarter. Altus played the
eleven men all through the game with-
out a one ever being relieved. The
Norman squad outweighed the Altus
eleven ten pounds to the man.
Every man played the game; one de-
serve as much praise as the other. Jack-
man made the most spectacular play
of the game. Josie Hickman made a
perfect record as tackle; he never lost
a chance, and never lost his man. Her-
schal Crow did good work in the line
as a tackle. Raymond Kimbell' went
into the game with a stiff knee, but did
his part. Frank Cleere showed a clear
head, a quick brain and good jueigc-
ment as well as speed by his guiding
the plays through his position as quar-
ter back. Bailey played like a atone
wall or a battering ram. as the case

company to sink a deep well, either in
Altus or near the town. The question
of good water for the town has be-
come a serious problem, and if Altus
is ever to become a division point tor
the Orient railroad, or have any more
factories or mills than it now possesses
it must have an adequate water supply
of good pure water fit for boiler use.
