ALTUS NOW A
FREIGHT TERMINAL
Altus has this week been made the
freight terminal station of the W. F.
& N. W. railway, having moved this
terminal from Frederick, Okla. The
advantage gained by this city by the
acquisition of this additional railroad
business is something over $2000.00 per
month in additional salaries paid to
employees and in addition of several
new families.
All through freights and locals that
operate under the W. F. & N. W. sys-
tem will stop here, changing engines
and crews.
There is much discussion just now
among railroad boys over the moving
from Frederick to this city of the chief
dispatcher's office. We have it from
good authority that this office will
soon be moved to Altus.
Prevention
By Dr. S. H. Landrum
. Personally 1 believe that every indi-
vidual who wants to be sick has that
right, provided he goes off by himself
and provided further that he is suffi-
cient unto himself financially. Simple
isolation from his fellows is effective
in the prevention of the spread of his
disease. But absence from one's busi-
ness, family and friends is unpleasant
expensive and lonesome.
Fortunately this evidence has in the
instance of a number of specific
infeotions become unnecessary. There
are several of the contagions that can
be avoided without running off to awair
the subsidence of the epidemic. Among
these are typhoid fever and small pox.
Nobody wants either of these loath-
some diseases—that is, nobody that is
anybody. I hope there is not in the state
an individual above the age of six years
white or civilized, that does not know
that vaccination prevents small pox.
This method has been known for one
hundred and forty years. The knowl-
edge of the means for the prevention of
typl'.oid fever «nd*soine other infections
is not so widespread because the dis-
covery of the means of their prevention
is much more recent.
But if there really is anybody in this
country who has lived in a community
where weeds are cut, where roads are
graded, where motor cars are driven,
where the best movies are operated
daily, except Sunday, where air planes
criss-cross the sky; where people read
good literature, hear the gospel preach-
ed and use soap, and yet who says that
he would rather have small pox than
to be vaccinated, he is plainly a fool.
He is not so much a fool for the lack
of sense, but because our legislators,
the majority of whom are in the same
class, allow him to be one. A compul-
sory vaccination law would banish the
disgrace of small pox as effectively
from the civilian community as it has
done for the Army.
It is not a question of constitutional
privilege, for that contention has been
settled in nearly every state in the
Union. It is not for the protection of
the grown-ups and those who know
better than to have typhoid and small
pox, that I advocate compulsory vac-
cination. but for the children who do
not know any better or who by reason
of having for parents a father and a
mother who unfortunately fall into that
class a while ago referred to. It is
pitiable to see a family of small chil-
dren victims of these horrible diseases
when they can so easily and^so cheap-
ly be prevented. This whole county can
be rendered immune to small pox and
typhoid fever as cheaply as a half doz-
en cases of either one of these infec-
tions can be taken care of by the coun-
ty. Almost invariably when a family
is quarantined on account of small pox
some member of that household wants
to be released on one pretext or another
and if permission is not given the privi-
lege is taken any way. Quarantine to
be effective must be nothing less than
military, and for small pox that car-
ries us back one hundred and forty
years.
There is a superstition prevalent to
the effect that the victim of vaccination
is liable to lose his arm.
1 have seen a great many persons
who had unfortunately lost an arm, and
some few who had lost both arms, but
I have yet to see one who has lost an
arm or a leg from vaccination. I have
never even seen a cripple from that
cause. I have seen, however, two people
who lost from small pox during this
present epidemic, each an eye. But then
each one of these cheerful anti-vaccin-
ationists has an eye left.
My doctrine is that every iniguided
individual who knows how to prevent
small pox but who is too smart to lose
an arm. should have all the small pox
he wants.if he can have it without giv-
ing it to some innocent child. 1 am in
favor of compulsory vaccination of
every child up to that period of life
where he can assume the proprietorship
of his own person. After he becomes
his own purveyor of individual require-
ments he should have his choice be-
tween the disease and a sore arm By
this arrangement the great <chool of
experience would be constantly grind-
ing out graduates from that class of
individual* ahnv, referred to \nd the
school would flourish, because the tui-
tion is high
Mrs. D. Taut, Our Friend
Mrs. D. Tant, of Humphreys, was in
the city several times the past ten days
marketing her vegetables and produce.
Mrs. Tant presented the writer with
several nice Rocky Ford cantaloupes
and several sweet banana muskmelons
and a sack of nice, big red tomatoes,
okra.'n everytmng.Needless to say since
taking these to our home the writer has
commanded the highest respect of his
family. Mrs. Tant has been gardening
in Jackson county for the past fourteen
years, and she told us that this year's
garden was the finest that she had rais-
ed. Mrs. Tant brought the first canta-
loupes and muskmelons to the city that
were grown in the county. Now she
has a Maxwell touring car, making
two trips daily, supplying the Altus
markets with lresh vegetables. She
told us that her Irish potato crop had
been so productive that she had had a
difficult time in disposing of them.

NEXT PAIR SHOES
WILL COST $21.00
According to information we have
from the local retail shoemen, and also
our observation from the rawhide mar-
ket, your next pair of shoes will cost
you from .$18.00 to $21.00. Standard
make shoes for men that are now re-
taling for $11.50 are worth at whole-
sale from $12.50 to $14.00. In April,
1919, the buyers of hides of our city
wer paying 12^ cents for green hides
and 15 cents for cured hides. Today the
market*' quotations on these hides are
24 and 35 cents.
"Don't be the Fifth Man"
Five husky men were cast by rough
seas upon an island in midocean. Trade
winds were cold, their few belongings
wet and there was urgent need of their
getting a fire to makf themselves com-
fortable. Four of the fellows at once
started to collect driftwood. Soon a
great pile was gathered. With an en-
thusiasm born of necessity they heaped
the sticks together and soon a roaring
fire was burning. From out a small
cltynp of trees the fifth man came and
proceeded I'd dry his clothing and warm
his body beside the fire to which he
had not even contributed one stick. The
need of food presented itself after their
clothing was dried. Without loss of
time the four men started in different
directions to get for himself and fel-
lows whatever eatables the island had
to offer. The fifth remained by the fire.
This man, strong, robust and healthy
had not contributed anything toward
the comfort and hpysical good of either
they or himself. Yet he warmed §t their
fire and ate of their food. Don't look
fair? Does it? It is not! Yet each and
every town and community has its quo-
ta of folks who do practically the same
thing, enjoy all conveniences the town
has to offer, but buy their goods from
mail order houses and contribute noth-
ing toward the progress and prosperity
of the town; yet they sell their toil and
home products at a home market. Don't
you be the fifth man in your home
town.
1 he money you send to some mail
order house will never return to your
community. Your home town will be
forever short of just the amount of
money that is sent out of it.
Without the live, progressive small
city or town we would not have the
contented, prosperous rural community.
When you send money to a mail order
house you are actually handicapping
yourself and every person in your
community.
We are inclined to believe that Poor
Richard, Jr.. was right when he said:
"Some people cannot place their whole
trust in religion because the contribu-
tion box does not give trading stamps."
M. W. A. Without a Hall
1 he Modern Woodmen hall has been
leased for five years by parties, the
names of whom the writer has not
learned. This not only puts the Wood-
men out of a place to meet, but it dis-
bands the R. R. Men until they can
get a hall. They had the hall subrented
from the M. W. A.

E. C. BANE TO
EL RENO
E. C. Bane, the plant chief for the
Southwestern Bell Telephone company
for the past nine years, and his wife
who has been cashier for the local plant
for several years, left Wednesday for
El Reno, Oklahoma. Mr. and Mrs.
Bane have served the Southwestern
Bell Telephone company in a most ef-
ficient manner. In the loss of these two
citizens the city of Altus will, no doubt
in more than one way take cognizance.
The sunny disposition of these two
young people, their efficiency, and their
eagerness to serve the patrons of the
telephone company hav won for them
the friendship and good will of the en-
tire city,
Mr. Bane will continue in the employ
of the Southwestern Bell Telephone Co.
and will by this move better himself
considerably. A host of friends wish
for these young people all the things
in life worth having and that in their
new El Reno home the rivulet of suc-
cess and good will will continue to
flow their way.
Irby R. Eikner was in Oklahoma City
the first of the week, trying to locate a
few Dodge cars in an effort to supply
the present demand for this popular
car in Jackson county.
HAWAIIAN MUSIC
August 7-11
Do you like it? Well, I should say
so. O, that cozy, dreamy feeling tha it
brings. Get the Chautauqua news and
read about those Hawaiians who are
coming. If you miss it you miss "the
best what is." We are told on good au-
thority that those fellows can set the
old tent swaying above their*;heads.
They have been known to put a pecu-
liar smile upon the face of the most pi-
ous parsons, and as they smile and nod
to their friends about them until the
spell of the movement, their smiles
and nods somehow joined in with the
rythm of the music. In very truth the
Hawaiian Musician coming to us this
year are the vsry best that were to be
had. They have set Ne^ York afire, and
back there they will go as soon as their
season of the Chautauqua is over. If
you want to enjoy some of the "sure
'nough" Hawaiian music you had better
rfot miss this number of the Chautau-
qua.

CITY NATIONAL
DELIVERS PIGS
Monday morning before the business
life of Altus had awoke to the day's
duties. Chas. Henry of the City Nation-
al Bank, was busy watering and feed-
ing a bunch of the best blooded hogs
that money could buy. There was also
around the pen of blooded hogs a bunch
of enthusiastic boys that had come
from every quarter of Jackson county
to view for the first time a pedigreed
pig that was to be their very own. And
before the business life of our city had
gotten well under way these pigs and
boys were scattered over Jackson coun-
ty in their respective homes; their
hearts glad, and their enthusiasm high,
working and planning to build up for
themselves an independent livelihood
by raising pure-bred stock.
The boys who were present and re-
ceived pigs were as follows:
Hubert Mitchell, Olustee, R. 4.
Floyd Crawford. Olustee. R. 2.
Marvin Newell. Headrick. R. 2.
Henry Barnes, Aluts, R. 6.
Leonard Newcomb, Altus, R.-3.
I. Miller, Headrick,
Charles Cunningham, Duke.
Claude Walker. Altus, R 3.
The pigs weighed 300 pounds each,
and were bought at the Denning ranch,
Oswego, Kansas.
BARN BURNS
SATURDAY NIGHT
*
The barn of John Lumpkin, on N.
Grady street burned Saturday morning
at 3:30 with a total loss. In the barn
at the time of the fire was the delivery
car of the Kizzian Brothers which was
also a total loss. There was other ma-
terial stored in the barn valued at $150
j^hicli was also consumed by the blaze.
There was no insurance on anj% of the
stuff. The barn was in flames before
it was discovered, but the fire depart-
ment. as usual, promptly extinguished
the blaze. The fact is, before the siren
s,-; *fohardly started upon its work of
alarming the town the roar of the en-
gine of the fire truck was plainly heard
over the city.
James E. Taylor of Canton, Texas is
visiting his mother, Mrs. H. P. Smith,
Mr. Taylor is one of the boys from
over there.

BOLSHEVISM?
August 7-11
The naif>e that stands at the head of
this article strikes terror to the heart
of the Central European nations. Two
decades ago it was not known and yet
today it is a word upon every lip. Back
of the word lies a mighty social up-
heaval. In a few short years this up-
heaval has grown until it demands the
attention and study of every well-mean
ing man.
And while this movement is spread-
ing over the world so rapidly the masses
of the people, yes. the very best of us.
aro entirely in the dark as to what the
movement stands for.
A feature of the Chautauqua that is to
open here August 7. is the address of
Mi. Morris Gershon Hindus. This
man has come from Russian peasant
life: he is a full blood Russian, was
bred and born in that country, and Rus-
sianism is instinct in the very fibre
of his mind. After becoming a man. he
came to America and worked his way
thru Harvard university. He is going
to bring to the people a lecture on Bol-
shevism.
We sincerely belive that it is not
only the privilege of the people to hear
thiv entertaining man deliver his ad-
dress but it is the duty of every citizen
male or female, to get the information
that he is going to bring first-hand. In
the future a man or woman who does
not understand the socialistic problem
from the standpoint of the Bolshevists
and kindred movements is going to be
poorly equipped to discharge the duty
of an American citizen. If Mr. Hindus
were the only attraction that the Chau-
tauqua is bringing to you. it would be
well worth the season ticket to hear it.
Dan Cones' Wheat Average 38 Bushels
Dan Cones has s0 tar made the best
awrage of wheat to the acre that we
have known. If there is a better yield
we would like to know of it. Mr. Cones
had a 50 acre patch that averaged 38
bushels to the acre.
Paul Reynolds, of Olustee, brother of
Mrs. Asa Nelson, whose home is in
Olustee, returned home from France
this week. Paul was in the 35th division
and was in live big battles.
Mis
Baptists Dedicate New Hospital
The new fire-proof Baptist hospital
at Miami was dedicated Sunday after-
rfoon with appropriate service. This
property, worth $150,000.00, dedicated
free of debt, was made possible by the
liberality of Mrs. Jas. F. Robinson, one
of the most prominent lead and zinc
operators of the state. Hon. J. C. Stal-
cup is the superintendent of the hos-
pital. Rev. F. M. McConnell, D. D., cor-
responding secretary for the Baptist
General Convention of Oklahoma, de-
livered the dedication address. The
hospital opened under the most favor
auspices. This gives the Baptists three
splendid hospitals in the state—one a*-
Muskogee, one at Oklahoma City, and
this new one at Miami.
W. T. Dodgen, of Sweetwater, Texas,
was in the city Tuesday night as guest
of J. VV. Shields. Mr. Dodgen is en-

The A. E. F. Dialect
This conversation overheard at the
Hotel Pavilion, Y. M. C. A. hotel for
enlisted men in Paris, is a fair sample
of how the doughboys are talking now:
"When do you expect to go home?"
"Toot sweet, and the tooter the sweet-
er. I've got a job waiting for me that
pays thirty moons a week instead of
thirty a week."
"Thirty discs. That's sure beaucoup
l'argent. You must have somebody fool-
ed into thinking you one bon homme."
"I'll admit it. I've also go one tres
jolie little lady waiting back there that
looks better than pleasures and palaces
to me."
"Tres bien, old kid. I'm for you."—
Air Scout.

opponent. "Say. tell me dis, nigger—

MERCHANTS' BAND
PRIDE OF ALTUS
An exceptionally large crowd was
out Friday night in attendance at the
concert given on the east side of the
square by the Altus Merchants Band.
The streets were lined with autos and
crowds of pedestrians swarmed the
pavement. The band has been strength-
ened by several splendid musicians re-
cently out of the army and navy and
the boys are making music which would
compare favorably with the concert
bands of the larger cities. A special
invitation is extended to our friends
from the country to drive in on Friday
nights and enjoy the band concerts. The
young folks from the country surround-
ing Altus for several miles around
should avail themselves of this oppor-
tunity each week of having a good ev-
ening's entertainment. Professor Lind-
sey. Director of the band, has resaon
to feel proud of the splendid progress
his band has made in so short a time.
