those fortunate enough 10 be
present, enjoyed the music and
solos furnished by Mesdames
Claxton, Roberds, Pierce and
Pat terson.
Mrs. Judge Beatty, in her US
ual graceful manner, gave a
splendid reading which was very
much enjoyed.
Altogether it was one Of the
most enjoyable events of recent
date and we regret that many
were kept from attending.
Special credit is due Mrs. Sla-
ton and her efficient committee
for the success Of the occasion,
and the society returns thanks TO
Mrs. Sanders for the use of her
pleasant home and her untiring
efforts as a hostess on this oc-
casion.
We hope this is only one of
many such receptions TO be given
by this society this year.

The Plains country is starting
out with very hattering pros

fact that one good season insures

The entcrprising citizens Of
Lubbock had the pleasure Of
handling their first train load Of
home seekers last week.
There was nearly a hundred
people in the party and it was a
pleasant sight 10 see them COM
ing down the streets in autos
furnished by the citizens for the
occasion.
This party was a representa-
tive lot of farmers from the
north. many of them being from
the far north, some being
from Michigan. and they
were very enthusiastic over the
reception accorded them at this
place. Every courtesy was ex-
tended 10 make their stay pleas
ant and they had an opportunity
10 see the town and also a large
part Of the farming country.
There was no deals closed with
them while here but a number Of
negotiations were entered into
and it is expected that many
deals viii be- closed in the future.

Hist! Shirt Mystery Puzzles Police

part of the proceeds Of burglary or
they had been lost was the theory
that first suggested itself. There was
no laundry marks on the shirts. prov.
ing that they had never been worn.
81 called the wagon and sent the
garments to the station. That Is all
| know about the mystery"
Lieutenant and Detective Sullivan
was asked what he thought about the
shirt mystery and replied:
Not having seen the shirts
wouldn't care to express an opinion
offhand. There certainly is some mys-
terry there. ! am acquainted with Po-
liceman Hogan. who found the shirts.
and know him to be an efficient, level
headed man. Something might de.
velop in a few hours that will assist
in clearing up the mystery"
When the finding Of the shirts was
reported to Inspector Hunt he or
dered the arrest Of all suspicious per-
sons In the Hyde Park and Woodlawn
police districts.
1T is the biggest mystery we have
had In this police division for years
the inspector said. THE question Is
who owned the shirts?' Until we es
tablish the Identity of the owner we
will be cropping In the dark. My de
tective reasoning tells me that the
shirts belong to two persons, as the,
are OF different sizes. The absencs
of laundry marks prove nothing. Fo1
all we know the owners Of the shirt
had them washed at home"
| Assistant Chief Of Police Schuttle
doesn't believe the finding OF tn
shirts had anything to do with gam
bling.

a gambler would take the shirt OF hi
back to raise money to play" the al
sistant chief said. "but think the ga

Childish Inference,

Little Julia was taking her after

tention was attracted for the first time
to large church edifice on one OF the
street corners.
"Oh, mother!" she exclaimed.
whose nice big house Is that?'
whose nice big house Is that?"
THAT, Julia, Is Gods house." ex-
planned the mother.
"Some time later It happened that
the child was again taken by the
church, this time on Sunday evening
when services were in progress. Julia.
noticing the brilliantly lighted win
dows, drew her own conclusions.
"Oh, look, mother" she called out,
God must be having a party"
