SdbooUnon to Open. v
The Duke ebhool* open on the
first Monday in November- We
believe every citizen in the dis-
trict is sorry we do not have a
better school building and better
school building and better faciti
tins for tfco training of the ehild
ren. We hope, before another
y«-ar, to have a <25,000 school
building and a consolidated
8<-hool district rfeehing six or sev.
en miles in each direction. This
plan is being followed ia all up-
to-date places and without ex-
ception is found to be successful.
Prof. Lowery ia anxious that
s students be on hand the first
c and get started off in the
v tc in the right way.
We Need the Money*
The Times last week received a
letter from O. L. Heard, who at
one time came here to be our de-
pot agent. Sickness and death
in Mr. Heard's family took him
away from Duke and prevented
his return. He is now in Benson
La., working for the Port Arthur
Route, but says he expects at
some time to return to Oklahoma.
He sent us a check for 81.00 to
pay a year's subscription to the
Time, which oheok we lost in so we
way before leaving the post-office
But if Mr. Heard sees this little
squib he will know that we need
the money and will no doubt send
us another check.
•y. He said thai we had
as mueft advertising as a
ia Qwanah. We hmtH el
rfarrsd la
he spoke the
that the Qeeaah paper
ohargee KO.OO per month lor a
page ad. while we charge 125.00.
the Times has e gisslsi
country circulation than the
Qwanah p«per could have becauee
there are not enough people ia
that country lo use up as many
papere aa we send to the farmers
arrund Duke.
The Duke Toes hen about one
fonrth aa muchadverueing as toe
Saturday Kv >ning Post, but a
page ad for noe issue in the Sat-
urday evening Pu*i brings about
S0.OOO.OJ and is worth every cent
it bringo. A short time ago the
Duke pe pie inserted an ad in the
Daily Oklahoman (an ad about 2
inches square) (or one issue eud
it cosi them $10.00 and we believe
the muney waa well spent. But
what we warn to do in Duke is to
give uie merchant* the heel ad-
vertising and the loweet rau and
thereby mane ihera money «nd
upbuild the town. Of oourss
when Uij town is some larger
expect to go up to the cuetoma.y
price for advertising and th n we
shall be tepaid in a financial way
for our work.
Geo. F. Clark, the lownaite
nan. has hooe nutlflsd that a
special of oeeuad one-fifth fare
will be udeoe ell llaee of the
Wichita Fails Kouie la Oklahoma
lo the town lot aale here on the
ttnd. The Tickets will he on
sale on the Slot and Hod, and
will expire on the tSrd.
This sale has been esteneively
advertised and should drew lerge
crowds. There are many peo-
ple In this portion of the state
who have heard much of the
it, and who have a strong
deaire to s*e the town. V«
would be glad to see them com*, |
and stay long snou«h lo invooti-
gate our reoouroes. We feel cer
tain that all who do so will be
pleased.
FARM LOANS

We write all kinds of Ineuraaae. AU

Holler & McSpadden.
Did you know winter is here?
The natural consequences of win
ter are overcoats, slickers, boot-
ees, good shoes that won't l«*ak
water, heavy caps, gloves, etc.
Don't spend your money buying
cheap, shoddy goods. It nev> r
pays, never did and never will.

George F. Clark went to Dallas
last week to attend the Fair, tak
ing with him several thousands
of circulara advertising Duke.
Dr. Ralph Le»>, a veternary
surgeon of Wellington, Texas,
will be in Duke on 8aturdav. Oct.
22nd. Be sure and see him if
you have any stock affected in
any way.
Thurmon Wall, who has boon
meat cutter for »he New Meat
Market, left last Monday for Dal-
Ian, having resigned his position
here.
Wood A Co. have just received
sn enormous shipmen: of the
<>f the famous Endioott-Johnson
Shoes. The shoes that come di-
rect from the hide to the com-
sumer. Try a pair. The price
is right.
Vote for
On the first oount it waa
thought that Commissioner Bal-
low had boon defeeted for re-
election, but a later count re-
vealed the fact that he had boon
nominated by a suhotantial ma-
jority. But some of the people
on the east side of Ihe district
sre determined to defeat him,
even if they have to vote for the
republican candidate in order to
do eo. Mr. Ballow has made us
a good commissioner and any
man on this side of the district
who votes against him is voting
again*t his own interests. Re-
publicans, democrats, socialists,
v »t for Ballow.
Louis R. Hity and M. O. Oweas
went to Mucus last Satrrdsy, wkera
they were Invited Into the sacred (?)
mysteries of the Elks. They were
accompanied by E. C. Pool, who had
already undergone the operaUons.
Tie
The Timoo had some matter
lynotyped (or butchered rather)
in Altus this week and we are
a! moat ashamed to print some of
i*. It is almoot inconcieveable
how a man can work in a print-
shop and still be to ignorant of
bis mother tongee. One article
to which oall your particular at-
tention is a abort poem by H.
Coomer, who waa for several
months editor of the MeQueen
Booeter, bet who la now with the
Times. Mr. Cooeser'e poem is
butchered almoot beyond recog-
nition, but ia etUl worthy of eare-
ful reading. We are aometfanee
tempted to give our heartfelt o-
pinion oftheee fdUwe when fee
butcher our news, but" we have
no desire to be excuded from ti e
msils, therfore we refrain.
The Wise Man
Who fully realizes that THE TIME to
make provision for his later years is during
the PRODUCTIVE PERIOD of his life
aud that a Growing Bank Account is a
help, an Actual Aid in conserving his in-
come and in increasing his accumulations.
Why not begin Now and provide for
Your future? No matter how amnll your
start we shall be glad to have your account;
add to it as you can.
