What Has Been Done.
What has been done? The first
convention which We held at Can
yon City decided that a committee
of seven would do more actual work
than a committee OF forty or four
hundred so we made It seven with
the idea Of organizing further in ev-
cry county, Those seven men are:
II, A, Mobiles OF Amarillo, L. Cough
OF Hereford, L. d, Doak Of Claude,
w. Il, Armstrong OF Plainview, H.
Tracy of Tulia, l.. +, Lester OF Can
yon, and j. r. Num- OF Amarillo, who
is our secretary. Now We want ev-
cry one OF you whether you live here
or elsewhere to interest other people
in this work and to work direct.
Congressman Stephens Is in ia
vor OF 1t and will look after the meas
ure of course, perhaps in a perfume
tory way. Well, now what you are
to do is to work on him and make
him more active on that measure.
This is the only thing he can do for
the whole Panhandle, and in doing
that he does for the whole OF Texas,
and for the whole OF the South, be-
cause In all the South there is not
single national playground open TO
all the people all the time as this
will be.
