To Our Friends and the
General Puhlie.

pNfltfdl uIllNt
Having sold our interest in the
First National Bank of Lubbock.
ToXas, We havc decided to organ.
ile state Bank, oar first reason
for this is, there has grown up an
inslstant demand from the public
for some protection to their Sav-
iugs, which have been intrustcd TO
the banks OF the country, and
there is hardly amy doubt at all
but what the next Legislature will
pass a law guaranteeing deposits
IN STATE banks. This will enable
NJ to offer absolute safety TO our
depostors Cur second reason j..
our larger ranches are being cut
up into small farms. which are
being sold 10 actual settlers, and
a state hank can serve this class
of business more readily and with
more satisfaction than n National
Bank. on account OF the fact that
il is allowed by law 10 loan
certain part OF MS money o. real
estate paper
Our bank will be known rs the
Lubbock state Bank and will
have paid up capital of S1a, 200.
uO We will open same for bust
ness on the lth, day Of November
ON the corner where i. a. liyatt's
saddle shop stood. We will DO
business temporary IN the small
house there. DOR new building
viii be- put zap a. fast ~ good
workmeu eau DO it, and when
finished We Will offer the public a
nice and Up-to-datc place boz which
To conduct their banking business.
Now, we vii not make any

do for our customer, u the future,

oar Intention 70 stay iu LubbOck,
and We viii Away, take warm

Football Game

Next Saturday tomorrow the
Eveleth football boys will be here
to try conclusions with the local
High School team. 1t is said our
boys are a little light for the Evel-
eth team, but we can assure all
that what they lack in weight they
make up in enthusiasm.
Our team is one of the best in
the Northwest and what is more all
in it are composed of strictly High
School pupils. The game Saturday
will be called at 3 o'clock and all
are invited to be there. Also bring
quarter or two-bits and help the
boys along. The High School
band will be in attendance.

THE AMENDMENTS
Voters Should Read Them
Over Carefully

In another column will be found
a draft of the proposed constitution
al amendments to bel voted on at
the coming election. oters should
acquaint themselves with the pro-
posed changes and should vote for
the best interests of the country.
Amendment No. 1 proves to be
the old tonnage tax proposition and
is direct slap at the mining inter
ests and the interests of the north
ern part of the state. 1t is the
same pernicious scheme fostered in
the southern end of the state of
taking from Our mining towns their
sustenance and dividing it among
the agricultural sections in the low
er half. In other words the amend
ment is skin game and if it be-
comes a law, we, of the mining
country, will be the lambs to be
feeced. Decide at once and make
a large unmistakable cross mark
after NO on this amendment.
Amendment No. 2 embraces the
road and bridge business and ap-
pears on the surface as a good
thing. Read it over carefully.
Amendment No. 3 embraces a
hail and wind insurance matter full
ly explained in the amendments
published elsewhere.
Amendment No. 4 is matter
PERTAINING to the qualifications of
the county superintendent of schools
and explains itself.
Read them carefully. They are
explained by Attordey General
Young.

Virginia Wins

The first game of the season was
pulled off on the local gridiron Sat
urday between the Virginia High
and the Ely High Schoolteams. The
visiting team carried off the honors
on score of 10 to 0.
Considering the lineup of the
two teams, the Ely boys played a
remarkable game in holding the
Virginia boys down to two touch
downs. Our boys averaged several
pounds lighter than the Virginia
team besides the visitors had some

Virginia boys were accompanied by
Supt. Bliss. The lineup of the

BY MADAME ALTA.

Few people realize the influence of a
pretty mouth and sound, well-kept
teeth on ones personal beauty. but it is
a fact that the woman with a beautiful
set of even. white. well-formed teeth
has the very foundation for sufficient
beauty for the average woman.
A woman may have the most perfect
features and the most exquisite com
plexion, but when her lips part to re-
veal decayed and ill-shaped teeth. one
Is apt to forget that she is lovely to be-
hold. for there is something really re-
pulsive about a mouth uncared for and
neglected.
Happily for the woman who is so af-
flicted, we live in an age when all
these deformities-as they ma proper
ly be ~calIed-can be corrected by a sci
entific surgeon dentist. Crooked teeth
may be made perfectly straight, and
decayed teeth cleaned and filed. But
that is not all. There are artificial
teeth made today which really defy
detection, and no woman who cares for
her personal appearance win allow her
good looks 10 be marred by the alb
sence of teeth.
The accompanying illustrations how
just TO what extent the teeth will make
or MAJ ones looks, and it behooves the
woman who would improve his tell
Gale feature to place herself in the care
of a good dentist, and it is safe to pre-
diet thai the result will be we'll worth
the trouble and expense.

Then scrub the face with very not

This treatment should be continued
