Der OF young lady and gentlemen
friends. The guests assembled in the
front parlor and each was handed
miniature slate upon which was writ
ten the geographical questions to be
answered, and the number of the
young gentleman's "deskmate." They
were then invited into the sitting
room, which had been transformed
into cozy school room and asked to
study out the questions before them.
This fun lasted for quite a while
when the teachers asked the class to
hand in their work for correction.
During this time lunch was served
which consisted of an elegant salad
course. Four correct states were hand
ed In, which occasivned the cutting
for the first prize. MIR. George War
rem cut the ace and was presented
Tennysons Memoriam, elegantly
bound in leather with gilt edge. Mr..
Russell Shaw was given the BOBBY n
box Of A B c building blocks. Quite
a number Of games were enjoyed
during the evening. At 1880 the
guests began to leave, each bidding
the hostess adieu. assuring her they
had spent glorious evening.
The young ladies and gentlemen
present were: Miss Gussie Hood with
Mr.. James Bryan. Miss Lizzie Britton
with Mr.. Johnnie Lemon, Miss Mary
Pitts with Mr.. George Warren, Miss
Lucille Ryttenberg with Mr.. Russell

SULLY'S SCHEME OPPOSED.
South Will Not Aid Plan to Hold
Back Part OF Cotton Crop,

Savannah, Ca, April 4-State-
ments of local cotton factors, and re-
ports received from other cities in
Georgia, indicate that the plan of
Daniel j. Sully to throw a chain of
cotton ware houses across the South
capable of holding one-third of a
years cotton crop, will be strongly op-
posed If it ever threatens to become a
fact, and that it will have very
slight if any support at all in this
section.
A member of the Savannah Cotton
Exchange states that the plan in the
first place is impracticable, that had
the South wanted it, the plan of the
Farmers Union would long ago have
secured support, instead of Mr.. Sui
ly's plan, and that cotton factors see
in 1t nothing to commend itself to
them or to the planters.
He indicated that no improvement
upon present conditions can be ex-
pected from this new source, and
that locally efforts along that line
would meet with probably more than
passive resistance.

members of sect. which in their an
nouncements they call "Israelites of
the House OF David" whose base of
operations seem to be Benton Harbor,
Mich, arrived in the city yesterday
afternoon and have since been
preaching their doctrine to such as
gathered to hear them. Their belief
is in an Immortality of the body as
well as Of the soul. it being their con-
tention that the physical man, by alb
staining from sin and practicing

righteousness, can live as Enoch and
Elijah did without ever undergoing
the pang of physical death. The col
ony at Benton Harbor seems to be
communistic in principle, but these
representatives have more to say
about the immortality of the body
than about their other principles.
Schmide and Vert wear long hair
and flowing boards, and have all of
the ear-marks of the religious de-
votee.

INSANE ASYLUM BURNS.

Woodward, Okla, April six
hundred insane persons were in dang
er of death today when flames start
ing from prairie fire destroyed sew
eral buildings OF the State Asylum at
Fort Supply.
The fire broke ont in the laundry
building shortly after the inmates had
returned to their quarters from the
noon meal. The asyIum fire depart
ment was ordered out and every ef-
fort was made 10 conceal from The
patients the fact that the building
was burning. A woman, seeing the
fire, however, excitedIy gave the
alarm. Attendants then rushed
among them charges and narrowly
averted a panic. 'che fire spread
from the laundry to the pharmacy
supply building and threatened the
asylum itseTf. The inmates yielded
to the entreaties Of the attendants and
kept good order when the danger was
greatest.
BY hard work, the fremen saved
the various ward buildings. There
was no loss of lie. The stables,
laundry, pharmacy and employees
quarters were destroyed. The loss is
$4,000.

Again I will repeat what I have
frequently said at farmers meetings:
We do not use the Department of
Agriculture as much as we should.
There Is hardly problem, Of farm.
soil. stock. garden. and housekeeping
management that has not been stud
led by experts of the United States
Department Of Agriculture: the re-
suits carefully compiled, and en-
bodied in one or more bulletins.
These bulletins are usually written In
simple language and style, often illus
trated by drawings and pictures that
aid In explaining the text. so that any
one who can read may take in the
meaning.
Should we have problem that Is
not covered by one of these bulletins,
the stating Of that problem to the
Secretary of Agriculture will result in
his putting some capable and highly
trained mind to work on II and soon
er or later 1t will be solved.
Call on the department for any in
formation you want. This is what
1t Is there for. Do not wait for the
demonstration agents to come around
and drive tho truths into us, but seek
for them ourselves.

The Lubbock avalanche. (Lubbock, Tex.) 1909-1922, 1909-12-09
TRACK LAYING MACHINE HERE


The new track laying machine
which some Two on three weeks
ago was moved from this line TO
the plainylcW and Floydada line,
is again here The machine and
crew came down Wednesday
night in charge of DR.. Patterson,
Mr.. Hurley having charge of the
men. At the time when this
machine left here the company
was out of heavy steel, but since
then they have received many
car loads and unloaded them
here in their yards, and now
that the machine has been
brought back, it will take up the
work where they left it and push
it rapidly forward. AT that time
they were about five miles out
southeast of town. The machine
which lays about three miles per
day on an average will soon close
the gap up, which lies between
us and the caprock.
1t is very evident that The
Santa Fe people are more anX-
ious 10 see this line completed
than any of their lines which
they are now building, and why
not? They are opening up some
of the richest country to be
found in the state, and the traf-
hc they will handle from here to
the southeast will fully repay
them f0r every effort put forth.
The Lubbock avalanche. (Lubbock, Tex.) 1909-1922, 1909-12-09

The dawn Of a new era for
this section Of the state has so
far advanced that it is no longer
beclouded with uncertainty.
Lubbock is on the map and
her shadow will never grow
less. She heard the call for a
greater commerce and paid heed
to the call.
During the entire history Of
the Plains country there never
has been the amount of activity
in railway building as is going
on az the present and every road
leads to Lubbock. This may
sound a bit far-fetched, but it is
nevertheless a fact. The Yoa-
KUN interests are looking this
way and they embrace the Frls-
co and Rock Island systems.
The Jacksboro road is building
toward the Plains, and it is
backed by some Of the most
widely experienced railroad men
of the day. The Altus road has
secured a new lease Of life and
il is headed toward Lubbock and
also toward Oklahoma City.
The Acme, Quanah and Pacific
