Address of Much Practical Advice by
Rev. Cameron at High School
Commencement
The commencement exercises of the
Altus high school was the affair of
greatest interest last week, and the
usual large audience assembled at the
Baptist church Thursday evening at an
early hour and waited expectantly for
the appearance of the graduating class.
To the music of the march played by
Mrs. Curry the class proceeded to the
platform which was decorated in the
class colors and many flowers. After
invocation by Rev. Hollums. the GtrlS(
C-lee Club sang "Voices of Spring,
and the class prophecy was given by
Misses Virginia White and Leta Mae
Thrush in an original dialogue sketch.
The Glee Club sang again. "Little Or-
4>hant Annie," after which Rev. A. S.
Cameron addressed the class, Dr. Tol-
man of the Baptist University at Shaw-
nee, the speaker of the evening's pro-
gram being unable to' be present by
reason of having missd his connections
at Oklahoma City.
At the close of the address Mr. Mac
Kirdy sang in fine style, "The Old
Black Mare." and the class was
presented by Superintendent Cooley.and

Agree to Journey Down Life'd
Pathway Together
Dan Cupid, who is ever up to his
tricks, has visited the proverbially din-
gy and inky portals of a print-shop, and
among the force of the Times-Demo-
crat office he has lingered, lightening
the prosaic duties of two of its valued
employes by his happy ministrations,
and today the others of the staff are
offering congratulations and all sorts
of good wishes, the culmination of the
happy romance having occurred Wed-
nesday morning in the marriage of Ver-
nell Watt and Miss Thelma Box. The
ceremony was performed by Rev. J.
W. Hollums at the Baptist parsonage,
after which the young people went to
Mangum, where they will spend the re-
mainder of the week with the groom s
parents. Mr. and Mrs. A. C. Watt.
The bride is the daughter of Mr
and Mrs. J. L. Box of this city, and is
a young woman of very winsome and
amiable personality combined with ex-
cellent business qualifications that have
made her a most agreeable office as-
sociate. For the past year she has
been bookkeeper and stenographer tor
the Times-Democrat, and has been a
valuable assistant in the work of the
office. , .

AMERICAN LEGION
HOLDS BANQUET
It is with a great degree of sadness
that we announce the death of J. W.
Houser one of the first settlers in the
Blair community. His spirit passed
from his earthly abode last Friday, the
twentv-eighth of May, 1920.
J W Houser came to Blair twenty-
eight years ago and settled about seven
miles east of the town, where he has
lived since, having succeeded in mak-
ing one of the prettiest homes in Jack-
son county. This was one of- the char-
acteristics of the deceased, to make an
up-to-date, modern home for his fam-
ily His whole life seemed to be ab-
sorbed with the thought of making his
family happy. A nobler spirit never
filled the breast of any man. He was
kind to his family, gentle and patient
with his stock, courteous and thought-
ful of his friends and forbearing with
his enemies.
However, regardless of his untiring
energy and his ever buoyant spirit, the
health of tbis noble man began to fail
several years ago urttil finally he was
persuaded by his family and friends

brought her in from his farm at Creta
for a visit. She had reached the ripe
age of 86. and for many years had made
her home in Oklahoma.
She was the mother of fourteen sons,
eleven of whom survive her, and nine
of whom were present at her burial.
She was a consecrated member of the
Christian church, and two of her sons
arc distinguished ministers of that
church.
The burial service was conducted by
Rev. A. L. Oder of Snyder.
$8,000 to $10,000 Fire Loss
H. T. KimbelFs cotton yard caught
fire about the noon hour Tuesday.
Kimbell estimates his damage between
$8,000 and $10,000. It is supposed that
the fire was started by some little
boys smoking cigarettes behind the cot-
ton. Almost 150 bales were partially
burned.

the same courage, when the health ot
his wife began to fail until finally her
spirit bade old earth farewell and went
to its home. After the loss of his com-
panion, his grief wass too heavy to
bear and he began failing in health
again. His two daughters, feeling that
possibly another operation would re-
store him to his health took their fath-
er to Wichita. Kans., where he was
again operated upon. Failing to ac-
complish the purpose of the operation,
either that or the time had come for
his spirit to be set free, and on Friday,
May 28. 1920, his restless spirit was
loosed from the house of his earthly
tabernacle and went to join the one
whom he loved and "lost awhile."

Eastern Star Entertains Guests
The Altus Chapter of the Eastern
Star entertained the Blair and Martha
chapters last Thursday night, and al-
though the day was rainy and neces-
sitated a .change of plans in that the
visitors came by train instead of in au-
tomobiles as they had intended, there
was a large number present, and the
occasion was a very pleasant one. Four
candidates were initiated, the Blair
team putting on the work, and later a
bountiful luncheon was served, cafeteria
style. The menu included salads and
sandwiches of several kinds, with olives
and pickles, followed by sherbet and
cake.
Get Busy ud Kill Prairie Dogs
B. J. Melton, the biological assistant
for the U. S. Department of Agricul-
ture, was in town last week, assisting
in the preparation of prairie dog poison.
The law of the State o» Oklahoma
provides that all dogs must be killed
bv July 1st. If you do not kill the
dogs on your place by the above date,
the government will have them killed
for you and you will have to bear the
expense of same. The dog poison can
be found at the county clerks office
The poison is being sold at cost and
it behooves you to get x busy on *"ls
proposition as you now have only thirty
days to do the work.
COUNTY ROAD
BONDS LOSE
There seemed to be some difference
of opinion on the road bonds in the
election that was held In'this county
last Saturday. While we are not in
possession of the entire vote of the
county, we have a sufficient number
to be able to give very accurately the
facts in the case.
We must confess that it is gratifying
to the voters in favor of the bonds to
know that we lost by such a small ma-
jority. We feel' that to some extent
the fault is largely ours as some have
already confessed since polling their
vote, that if they had been explained to
before thev voted as they had since,

carefully planned by Mrs. Ingram and
carrying out the anniversary idea was
the program of the evening.
A beautiful birthday cake bearing
the requisite number of tiny candles,
contained a dime, which fell to Miss

CRAWFORD'S BINDER
ALREADY IN HELD
Orient Road To Be Continued
In a letter under date of May 29. the
federal board authorized Representative
Scott Ferris, through Commissioner
Robert W. Wooley. that he may assure
every city along the line of the Orient
railroad, running through Western Ok-
lahoma. and Western Texas, that the
Orient rail'iDad will not be junked or
dismantled.
Wooley stated to Ferris, "The com-
mission thoroughly appreciates the fi-
nancial condition on the Orient lines as
well as the importance of those lines
to the people of the Southwest, and I
assure you that we shall assist>to the
fullest possible extent under th^ law."
This comes as the result of the activ-
ities of Representative Ferris and Jim
McClintic and is of tremendous ;impor-
tance to the people of Western1 Okla-
homa.

Some weigh different, because they

Some people think in a circle and never
get anvwhere with it. Some there are
who think after the other fellow alto-
gether, especially in weightier matters,
like a small pair of scales they are not
constructed to weigh heavy things. 1 he
sum total of it all is. that we lacked the
small majority of about 300 voters to
see that by voting in favor o {these
bonds, we would have about $650,000
given to us that we may not have the
chance to obtain so easily again, this
amount alone would more than offset
the difference in the cost of material,
even if we were to begin the work now,
which of course would have been im-
possible. , .
The writer was accosted on the
streets bv two or three as good men
as we have in the county with remarks
to the effect that in their precinct, they
had snowed the Chamber of Commerce
under. Since having pondered over
several such remarks, we feel it our
dutv to correct such an erroneous idea
in the ininds of some few of our citi-
zens. In the first place the Jackson
Countv Chamber of Commerce did not
put this drive on at all. The drive was
instituted by the Jackson County Good
Roads Association and the Jackson
Countv Chamber of Commerce believ-
ing it to be a good proposition, one that
would be of benefit to the farmers haul-
ing heavy loads to market, the farmers
who either drive an automobile or come
in a buggy to market their produce, in
fact a project that would be worth as
much to the county as would a new
railroad, by giving us access and egTess

eather would affect. Consequently.

As soon as this crop is off he will plant

Mr. Crawford's Spear cotton, the his-
tory of which was related in these col-
umns recently, is doing nicely. He has
a good stand of this on 100 acres, and
25 acres more that is not quite so
good. Mr. Crawford i.s greatly inter-
ested in this particular cotton, and is
doing all he can to win name and
fame for Jackson county, where it or-
iginated, and to which its culture seems
well adapted.

they are now looking for rooms in this
citv. Mr. Gosdin is a carpenter and

On the evening of June 31st at eight
o'clock The James Monroe Roach post
of the American Legion assembled in
the new brick building adjacent to
Starnes Bros., on West Broadway, m
large numbers. The meeting was two-
fold in its purpose: In the first place
the intention of the officers was to
meet and get better acquainted; second-
ly to feast the boys as an appreciation
of their worthy presence, and a feast
it was which will be described later
°nWhen the bugle call was sounded,
the boys with their wives and sweet-
hearts marched into the hall where
they were ushered to their seats on
either side of two tables about seventy
feet in length. Dr. Raymond H. Fox.
Post Commander. C. D. Powell, Post
Adjutant, Lex Hanna, Post Financial
Office, and Dr. W. P. Rudell. County
Commander were in charge of affairs.
After the guests were all seated, .a
sumptuous four course luncheon was
served by the following ladies: Mes-
dames McNeill, Bristol, Cleere, Jones.
Nesbitt. Rudell, Rogers, Chilton O Neal
and Miss O'Neal.
What would the soldier boys do it
they did not have the ministering hands
of mothers, wives and sweethearts to
reach down and sweeten life s battles
and difficulties for them oncc in a
while? It seems that what is man s ex-
i tremity proves to be woman's oppor-
tunity.' fust When we are about to give
up in despair, along comes some guard-
ian angel to comfort and encourage. Al-
ter the crowd was filled to their utmost
capacity. Rev. Robert Hodgson, who had
been appointed Toastmaster for the
occasion, was introduced by Raymond
H Fox, Post Commander in a short,
snappy speech. Bro. Hodgson in his
usual manner did justice to this extra-
ordinary occasion in touching upon the
past valor of the American soldier. Wis
great achievements in the late war,
hut continued with the thought that
the world today was in greater danger
than at anv other time in its history.
■That the United States was in great"
danger today than ever before. While
Bro. Hodgson was speaking along this
line, the writer looked upon this noble
body of men who in the olive drab had
gone from the land of their birth, the
land of the "Noble Free." across the •
great deep, setting their feet upon for-
eign soil in a foreign • land among a
people who could not understand them
even when they asked for bread. And
when they planted their feet on foreign
soil, it seemed so unreal that there
arose a saying among them that 'We
are here, because we're here, because
we are here." It may be true that some
of them did not know why they were
there, yet the world knows that it did
not take the enemy long to find out
why they were there. Those were some
of "the men who were sitting under the
sound of the toast-master's voice. And
the thought came that the time is now
at hand that to insult an American Le-
gion soldier on one continent would be
to awake to arms the vast number of
mightv men of strength on the other.
After Rev. Hodgson. Mayor Hick-
man was called upon to address this
honorable body which he did display-
ing more strength and more feeling in
his speech than any the writer has ever
heard the judge make. His thought
along the line of modern civilization
was in keeping with the signs of the
times and very much appreciated by
the boys.
Miss Gary from Dallas was then
called upon by Post Com. Fox for a
reading, which she gave in negro dia-
lect, bringing the house to cheers with
a heartv encore. /
