TO LET SEWER CONT RACT
City Council to Let Sewer and
Water Works Contract
August Fourteenth

A question that has been pass
ing from lip TO lip and from man
to man for the past few weeks
can be answered now by saying
that the City Council will let
the contract for putting in the
sewer system and water works
for the city of Lubbock on the
l4th of next month, which is
August. Between this date and
that bids will be advertised for,
for putting in these systems.
and it is hoped that within a
very short time after that date
that actual work will be COM
menced.
This is another feather in the
cap Of the people Of Lubbock.
and places US in a class with the
best cities of the west.
Lubbock is coming alive in
many different ways. She is
awakening to the best interest Of
the people and the county in
general. and there will be great
things.happen in and around the
old town in the future. such as
has never happened before.

Female TAX
COLLECTOR
Holds an All-Day Reception
at Murray.
Big Crowd Of Property Owners
Expected Man Behind Can
non and Met Miss LeJune.

Murray, KY, August 2.-She
was mere slip of a girl, and
wfnsome, too;- her coming had been
heralded by about a hundred inIvilta-
lions to NEST her here Wednesday.
and they responded with alacrity-and
with wampum, too
Her name was Miss Lorene LeJune
of Greensboro. She represented the
State auditors agent, and her mission
to Murray was ito interview some of
our worthy property owners who over
looked such items as secured notes,
diamonds, cash In bank, and THE like,
when the tax assessor called around
last fall. There We're about 100 names
ON her receiving list, and the social
SESSION was held at the county clerk S
OFFICES all day Wednesday. Your
Uncle Daniel Norris was among
those present" He sat in the front
row with his purse in hand always ready
10 contribute to worthy cause, and
he came across with the greater part
of a $40 note, and did not bait an eye,
but as for owning diamonds, "Wy,wy.
a $50 stone would look good to me-"
But from all over the county they
came ito pay homage to the fair young
lady from the Green river country
though not few we've surprised to
find her the one they were to meet
after having been notified that a back
tax collector was to be here on that
day, for they expected to see a grim.
austere looking man sitting behind a
cannon. But what Miss LeJune failed
in ferociousnass was made up in
tact, good looks and a pair of laugh
ing dark eyes that knew no resist
ance.
AS a result of her visit the state
and county received 5000, and she
promises to return within one month S
time and several hundred others will
be called upon to pay back takes.
OF the hundred property owners
summoned to apear, only twelve wene
found delinquent and paid up.though
several others were given few days

The SUCCESS
IS ASSURED
For Our Big Industrial
Edition.
Everybody so far Seen has
Responded Liberally-"Join
the Boosters Club"

A very grave mistake, and ONE that
is very general, and often fatal to a
towns prosperity, is that of telling
strangers OF the Disadvantages of
your home city and forgetting. or
ndglecuing, to tell about its advanta-
ges. Don't do it, for it gives one a
bad impression of the place, and
not a very exalted opinion of your
civic pride. Rather tell them the
good things we have, and Let them
find out the things we have not.
If you were ever in Los Angeles
you know that you cannot get any-
one to say an i'll word about the
city. Even the bootblack who shines
your shoes will tell you it is the best
city in the west. 1t is part of
their education. They talk 1T, and
believe it, until to-day everybody ,res-
ident and nonresident, believe it is
one of the BEST cities in the west
from every standpoint, and the re-
suit is that the city is growing and
expanding wonderfully.
This is precisely the course We
mean to pursue DIN our Big Industrial
7Edition. We intend to tell of he
great natural resources OF Hartford
and Ohio county, to tell 1t truthfully,
yet fearlessly. We ane going to tell
of the plenty of good things we
HAVE, and not pirate of the few
things we have not, for we candidly
baheve that this Big Edition, this
pen picture of our advantages, and
of which thousands of copies are to
be sent broadcast throughout the
United States, will, some of them,
fall upon good ground and bring
forth fruit in abundance and be the
means of bringing new people. and
nav Investments to usJand from these
1t will be but a short time until We
have the things which now We have
not. This is the incentive that
prompted the Republican in publish
ing this Big Edition. and in asking
the support, financially and otherwise
of every merchant and professional
man in Ohio county in making this
the largest and best industrial edition
ever published in Kentucky. Let us
one and all join the Boosters Club"
Our special representative Is call
ing ON the people as rapidly as pos
sIble, and everybody will have the
matter explained to them In a short
time. From those seen so far the
greatest interest is shown for the
success of the enterprise, and the
responses have been liberal. proving
conclusively that everybody is a
firm believer in Hartford and Ohio
county, and can be relied upon to
do all in their power to advance the
interests OF both.

TABLE DELICACY
Pennsylvania Farmer, Who En-.
joys Diet, Expects to
Make a Fortune,

Toinesta, Pa, Aug 1.-Instead OF
following the new fad OF swatting
flies, Flaubert Nancy, TANNER OF
Tidioute township, is smarming
them in scoops and raising them for
their eggs, for which he expects to
find a large sale as a luxury in food
The eggs contain a large percentage
of oil and albumen. He serves them
at his OWN table in three forms-as
toasties, as flour cakes and in the
form of cornstarch pudding-and says
THAT he finds them both palataIble
and nutritious.
The coops are of woven wire and
cover a space fifty feet by forty
and are ten feat high. In THE center
of each coop a tank of water into
which THE little workers drop Their
eggs, which the farmer gathers up
once a day. There are thousands OF
them in every setting.
When dried THE eggs have a sort
of hull which may easily be nemoved
by friction, leaving a product that
looks nike rice. 1t may be served in
that form or ground into flour and
baked.
