The Altus city schools will opeu j
Monday morning, September 9, i
with Supt. W. H. Decker in J
charge and a corps of twenty-two
teachers. A nine months term is
assured by the result of the special
election Tuesday, when an addi-
tional levy of 1 1-2 mills was au-
thorized by a majority of 32. A
very small vote was cast and some
false reports circulated in certain !
quarters came very near defeating
the levy. Below is the result of
the election by wards and also a

THE CORN-COTTON
CONTESTS TO BE
HELD AT MANGUM
A Canning Demonstration to Be
Given in Connection With
The Exhibit.
The annual exhibit of the Jack-
son-Greer Corn, Cotton, Kaffir and
Canning Club, which is to be held
at Mangum September 14, should
be of especial interest to those
boys and girls of these two coun-
ties who have been making such
rapid progress in the underlying
principles of correct farming since
B. M. Jackson, of Mangum, spec-
ial agent of the Department of
Agriculture has had charge of the
work. The amount of actual bene-
fit to the farming interests which
is directly attributable to the work
of these ambitious boys and girls
can never be estimated. They
have made the "old folks" get up
and hustle right, and have "put it
over them" so badly with their
new methods that in almost every
instance the boys' and girls' crop
has been 10 to 1 better than the
"old man's."
Of especial interest is the t an-
ning exhibition to given in con-
nection with the <*ontest This year,
j when \Ve>tem Oklahoma has been
I producing such liountiful crops of
J fruit and vegetable*. Mr. Ja»*k?on
