1.-THE greatest time ! ever had"

OF Amarillo Elks Lodge No. 923, this
afternoon, as friends tried to stop
him after he got back from the great
Elks' convention at DALLAS. I'm 60

Others OF tho Amarillo contingent
at the convention who returned to-
day were George S. williams, j, Ike
Kendrick. Jim Moore and A. D.
Armstrong, and all OF these appeared
down town and began talking later
In the day. The burden OF the story
from all OF them is the same, "the
greatest show on earth" Dallas en-
tertained lavishly, thoroughly, and
all the time. The number OF Elks
present was not so large as at some
Of the eastern conventions where the
big lodges are closer together but the
crowd filled tho city and made
things so all the time. Convention
alities, there were none, say the Wis
itors, but the crowds we're uniform

der Amarillo badges we're popular,
report the delegates, and we're in
demand among those who were col

SHARES IN
PACKING HOUSE

Bear In mind that Amarillo has
got to get that packing house. is
only one OF the placards which the
soliciting committee has placed in
the window OF the Famous in which
the Isaacs brothers have put the two
young brown bears today, Tho
brown bear display Is attracting tho
most attention and is making the
most talk in a public way but there
are a number OF other citizens who
are doing vast amount OF hard
taking in personal encounters with
business men, farmers, professional
men, and all other citizens OF the
city and community, and as the re-
sun Of their work the Soliciting
committees are much nearer sue
cess on the packing house proposi-
ton.
Up to few days ago the commit
tee mad been trying rather for large
amounts than for small subscriptions
Now the committees are placing
shares In blocks OF from one to five
and are not taking such a thing as a
refusal II there is possibility that
the subject will take a single share.
The shares are in amounts OF 500
each, $50 OF which is to be paid down
when the whole amount is raised
and the balance OF which is to be
paid later in the fall after the organ
ization OF the enterprise is complete
That these shares OF stock are to be

EXCHANGE COMMENT


A minister OF a church in Edin-
burgh, Scotland, recently surprised
the congregation at a Sunday evening
service by handing in his resigna-
ton. He was only so years old and
was in good health and yigor says
the New York Tribune. The follow
ing Sunday committee OF the mem
bers waited upon him and expressed
their regret at the step he was about
to take. They said to him: "You
have plenty OF work in you yet. Why
resign?" Yes" he replied, II know;
but you had better accept my resig-
nation now. When l am 20 you will
not be able to get rid OF me-"

For a Greater Amarillo.

Seated IN an easy chair in the
shade at the entrance of the Famous
store, a table before him on which
lies paper and pencil, Joe lsaacs is
hailing every likely looking prospec-
tive signer to stock in Amarillo's
packing house.
The work OF the entire committee
that has been canvassing for sub
scriptions has been indefatigable and
their efforts should have the appre-
citation OF every citizen who has the
welfare OF the city at heart. Joe
Isaacs work in this matter is particu-
larly commendable and his efforts to
secure the packing house subscrip-
tons have been made with that Wig
or and enthusiasm that characterizes
the man and makes him one OF ANA
rillo's most desirable citizens-a
booster" More Joe Isaacs in ANA
rllo would mean more commercial
industries and a greater Amarillo.

Miss Lillian Russell has spoken
her mind about very vexing Ques-
ton, and incidentally she gave some
very wise hints, which women in
general, and stout ladies in particu-
lar, will not inwardly digest. The
other day one of the New York pa
pers printed picture of the fair
Lillian, saying she should have fifty
pounds OF excess weight cut off her
figure. This aroused Miss Russell's
righteous ire, and she instructed her
lawyers to bring suit for damages.

butcher to sarve fifty odd pounds
off my figure rm fairly good

coming ungalnly amounts in many

seek this character OF work and tho
Panhandle must afford the only OPP
portunity for those who would do
work under favorable climatic con-
ditions, on the contrary, Oklahoma
and New Mexico teachers are per-
mitted by law 10 attend outside OF
their state or territory limits and
this would give Panhandle normal
an opportunity to draw patronage
from other territory than from that
OF Texas.
Railroad Facillties--The excel
lent railroad facilities OF Amarillo
make II the most accessible city and
therefore the most logical point in
the Panhandle for the location OF this
normal. The further fact that Anna
rlllo is already the best advertised
city In the Panhandle would also
make II the more easy to secure the
attention and enlist the interest OF
teachers Of other parts OF the state
Care. OF course, should be taken to
secure the very best railroad rates
obtainable In order that students may
be drawn from distant parts OF the
state-even from the immediate Vi
cinity OF other normals.

One Serious Obstacle.
Boarding and Lodging Facilities
Tho one serious obstacles in the
way OF successful development Of
this work In your city is the need OF
suitable facilities for boarding and
lodging teachers at reasonable prices.
In most places where large and sue
cessful summer normals have been
conducted board and lodging Ton ac-
count OF the presence OF college DOR
mtorles and other cheap boarding
houses) is not more than from SIS
to SIC per month, here, on the con-
trary, few II any teachers have Sc
cured board and lodging for less than
$25 per month, some paying as high
as $50. We believe that with the
special advantages for good work
that Amarillo offers, teachers would
gladly pay SIC, SIS or $50 for board
and lodging, We hope therefore that
you will be able to devise ways and
means for offering accommodation
at the above named prices. 1t is we'll
to bear In mind that many teachers
would not care for very elegant
deliberately furnished quarters while
attending school, but on the con-
trary would prefer to look upon their
school session as an outing and would
be content with tents, or rough single
walled box structures very plainly
furnished.
School Building Facilities
High School building which was used
by us this year for class work was
entirely satisfactory for this purpose.
And II therefore board and lodging
can be secured sufficiently near by
to make the use of this building prac-
ticable the entire problem OF hous.
Ing would be solved. II on the con-
trary board and lodging could not be
secured near the scnool building pro-
visions should be made for class
rooms, the main features being chairs
and blackboard space. An out Of
town location would have a compar-
aNve freedom from dust IN Its favor.
In addition to the above reports
we wish to take advantage OF this
opportunity to express our high re-
gard for the city OF Amarillo, where
we have spent such pleasant ses-
sion and especially do we wish to
speak Of our high appreciation for
The many courtesies extended to us
by the citizens. Respectfully sub
uitted.

THE ROMANCE OF THE REAPER


 ''The Romance of the Reaper is the title ot 9 book by Herbert N. Casson. recently issued by Doubleday, Page & CO. The work which, by the way we recall as serial in Everybody's mag azine. is if not a defense, is a pleasing explanation of the existence of the International Harvester com panys sometimes called the "Harves- ter Trust" That it is a trust the writer comedies. but he shows that it is not a tariff trust and that 1t is therefore one of the good trusts, one of the kind President Roosevelt had in mindi when he said Each Corpora tion and labor union,) if properly man. aged, is a source of good and not evil"
 That the formation of the trust has not resulted in an increase in the price of harvesters is of course negative virtue for which no credit is taken and so is not dwelt upon, but the argument goes chiefly to showing
 
 the trust that the strongest of its component parts would not have at tempted.
 For instance the last Minnesota leg islature in an effort to free the farm CTS of that state from the operations of the trust proposed to establish a complete harvester plant at a cost Of S2OO.OOO The legislature was not aware that the International company in the very city where the legislature was sitting had spent twice that sum in an experiment-in improvements in one .twine factory. About the same time the trust spent four times that sum in the construction of a single warehouse in Chicago.
 The benefits of the harvester to the agricultural interests of the country, and not only to the agricultural inter ests but to the bread eating popula- tion of the world are shown from the first use of it. These benefits grew steadily with the development and dissemination of the development and at last it had reached a point at which danger of famine ceased.
 The romance" is a most interest ing one beginning with the lives and struggles of Mccormick and Deering and continuing through the Morgan ization" of the harvester business by which competition has not been des- troyed. but is afforded a healthy regu- latiOn.
