Woman Announces For
County Superintendent
-- ,
In this issue we call attention
to the announcement of Mrs.
Estelle W, Alexander, as candi
elite f-r County Superintirtldent
of Public Instruction, fid j ct to
the action of the Democratic nom-
inating primary Tuesday, August
3, 1920.
Mrs, Alexander only consented
to become a candidate for this
important office through the ear-
nest solicita:ion of her many
friends, and if nominated will
fgake Kiowa county avoy cfift
pient superintendent, and a per?
son everyone in the county will
be proud of. She came to Ho
bart about three years ago, when
her husband, the late Dr, Wo, I.
Alexander, was paslor of the
Presbyterian church.
Two years ago she became an
instructor in the Hobart high
school and has proved to be one
of the most Capable and efficient
instructors on the faculty, win-
ning the hearts of her students
and patrons alike. Previous to
this she had three years teaching
experience iu the grade schools
and two in High school.
Mrs. Alexander is a graduate
of the Wheaton (Illinois) College,
and has unusual qualifications to
make her an ideal county super-
intendent. She will continue her
work in the Hobart high school,
but during the summer vacation
expects to campaign the county
and meet the yoters of every pro
cinct.
The office of county superin-
tendent is one that can naturally
be filled by a woman with entire
satisfaction, and mauy Oklahoma
counties have had a woman in
this office.

PROSPECT FOR THIS CITY;
FENCING PARK PLANNED
If present prospects arc to be
taken as evidence, Mountain View
will have one of the fastest base-
ball clubs in southwest Oklahoma.
Plans are already underway and
an organization will no doubt
soon be perfected.
A number of swift ball players
are available at home, and a list
of those who wish to try out for
the team is desired at once. Just
hand in your name at the Times
office and it will be properly car
ed for. An effort will be made to
get the commercial club to take a
hand at its meeting, next Wed-
nesday night.
It is planned to organize a stock
company or to dispose of a num-
ber of season tickets to fence the
park and build a grandstand.
Two Million Houses Wanted
Back in 1916 the supply of
houses just about kept up with
the demand. Population was in-
creasing at the usual rate of 13
per Cent a year. During 1917-18
everybody was busy "winning
the war,’1 and construction of
houses fell off to about one-third
the usual figure. January 1919,
found us with these four million
men coming back into civil life,
the accumulated demand of two
or three years, came all at once.
Three years supply of houses
were needed at ODCe, instead of
having them we are short two
million homes that would nor-
mally have been built during
1917 18.
Here we have an unusually
large demand and two million
less houses than the ordinary
supply. The law of supply and
demaudr-the law that fixes prices
—has raised rents. The only
thing that can bring rents down
is this same basis law. If the bal-
ance is to swing the other way-
to lower rates -we must build.
We are all here and we’ve got to
live somewhere, so there isn’t
