The Mayor and city council of Altus have designated
Monday, March 21 as "clean-up day" and every resident,
citizen and householder in the city is expected to get busy
on that day and clean up his premises. Moreover, the
Times hopes the council's orders will be carried out to the
letter, and if they are not, that sufficient deputy marshals
will be appointed to enforce the order. Cleanliness is a
most important matter, and the Scriptures tell us that it
is next to Godliness; and it is just as important that a
community be clean as it is that it be moral.
If Uncle Dick Blain were here he would take particular
pleasure in enforcing the order, but he is gone; and his
mantel has fallen on no worthy shoulders. However, we
hope that it will not be necessary to enforce the order; that
every person will have sufficient pride in his premises and
in his town to get to work with a hearty good will and give
his place a thorough cleaning up. Let everybony obey
the order, and the results will astonish you.

A Person's Age
Doesn't necessarily indicate that
glasses should or should NOT be
worn.
School children often need
them badly—while many older
people get along nicely without
them.
It is solely the condition of the
eye which should decide.
Every person who reads this
should make it a point to learn
just what shape his or her eyes
are in.
It doesn't pay to remain in
doubt, especially when finding
out costs not even a cent.
We are fully competentt o rec-
tify all defects of vision. And
we can supply the exactly right
glasses.

Ed Traweek informs the Times
that all the preliminary negotia-
tions for the erection of a fine new
opera house for Altus have been
completed, and work on the build-
ing will be commenced as soon as
plans and specifications are accept-
ed. The structure will occupy the
old livery stable site at the corner
of Lee and Maple streets, and will
erected by the Traweek estate,
which owns the property.
The cost of the opera house will
not be less than $14,000, and it
may run considerably over that
amount before it is completed,
furnished and equipped. The
building will have a frontage on
Maple street of 50 feet, running
back the entire length of the lot to
the alley in the rear. It will be
built after the latest plan§ and will
be fully equal to the best amuse- j
ment houses of 25,000 people. j
The Traweek estate will receive ;
from surrounding property owners ;
a bonus of $2,000 for erecting the ;
building, and the agreements have i
all been signed up. Architects j
are now preparing the plans, spec- j
ifications and estimates, and the
contract will be let as soon as
these details are attended to.

Sunday School and Young Peo-
ples Workers to Visit
In ApriL
On Monday and Tuesday, April
11 and 12 Rev. E. K. Ford, a
minister who specializes in Baptist
Young People's Work, and Rev.
W. D. Moorer, a gentleman of
long and wide experience in Sun-
day school work, will hold a two
days' session at the Baptist church
in Altus. Both of these gentlemen
are from Oklahoma City, and both
are working under the Oklahoma
Baptist state board.
Every young people's worker,
every pastor and every Sunday
school worker or person interested
in Sunday school work in Altus
and Jackson county are cordially
invited and should be present. It
makes no difference what denomi-
nation you are connected with if
you are interested, for this work is
intended for all. We especially
expect all Baptists in the county
to come and spend two entire days
with these two great men. Enter-
tainment free to all.
J. W. Jennings, Pastor.
Episcopal Missionary's Visit.
Rev. Harold G. Hennessy, of
Lawton, spent Tuesday in Altus,
visiting the Episcopalians in the
city and holding service that eve-
ning at the Methodist church. Mr.
Hennessy is now acting as general
missionary of his church in South-
west Oklahoma, and will hold fre-
quent services in Snyder, Hobart,
Mangum, Granite, Altus, and
other towns of the vicinity where
he can gather together a few of his
people. Mr. Hennessy's evident
earnestness of purpose and the sin-
cerity of his devotion to his work
impressed all who met him while in
Altus, and his people can but re-
joice that this section is to be un-
der the charge of one so well fitted
for the work. With the support
and co-operation of the people
there is no doubt that Mr. Hen-
nessy can accomplish much in this
territory. He will visit Altus
again during Easter week, and the
day of his coming will be an-
nounced later.
TO ORGANIZE
ANEW LODGE
Brotherhood of American Yeo-
men Will Make Altus Local
Headquarters.
Mr.Jand Mrs. Joseph South, ac-
companied by James W. Newman,
and .las. R. Graves, are in Altus
for the purpose of instituting an
organization of the Brotherhood of
American Yeomen. This order is-
sues a certificate, including acci-
dental total disability and death,
admits both sexes on an equality,
which i makes the social feature
very interesting. Owing to the
deduction plan, each member pays
his own insurance, regardless of
whetherjhe Jor £she lives or dies,
making the rates very reasonable.
The Yeomen collect twelve as-
sessments every year, which can
be paid monthly or annually.
They (have created a reserve from
the time they started, which is
now almost 1% millions of dollars.
They have 120,000 members, and
celebrated thier 13th anniversary
February 25.
The Yoeman are doing a great
work. In fact, there has never
been an organization which has
written the number of members
and created the reserve for the
length of time this one has. The
gentlemen will be in Altus four or
five months, as they will make this
their headquarters while working
this and surrounding towns.
Since December they have organ-
ized in'Granite, Lone Wolf, Wil-
low, Russell, and Mangum.
They will acquaint each and ev-
ery officer in the local lodge with
the work. If you need protection
we will be glad to explain our
proposition; if not, we don't wish
to take up your time.

State District Deputy.
A Fine Sign
The window sign on the east
front of the Oklahoma State Bank
building, the work of Listine, the
artist, is without doubt the finest
piece of sign writing ever seen in
this section of Oklahoma.
The job must be seen to be fully
appreciated, and that it is a work
of art no one will deny.

To Open at Altus
Uncle Henry Gilliland, an old
time Texas friend of "Alfalfa Bill,
the sage of Tishomingo," circulat-
ed a petition among the people of
Altus last week, asking Mr. Mur-
ray to open his campaign for the
Democratic nomination for gov-
ernor with a speech at Altus. The
petition was generously signed by-
people of all political faiths, and
forwarded to Mr. Murray. He has
not yet made reply, but doubtless
will grant the request, as he has
many friends in Jackson county.
