Good schools are of the great
est benefit in building up a town.
You can't keep a good thing
down. Good schools attract the
attention of surrounding towns.
They send in new pupils to the
achools and there is nothinging
which awakens the interest of
the citizens of a town more than
to notice that outsiders are
noticing them. Lee US encour-
age our schools and watch the
results.

OUR QUAINT CITY

Soon we landed at the quaint
city of Lubbock, capital of Lub-
book county Quaint" by reason
of its business firms still occupy
ing the original, small, low, wood
buildings all located around a
square facing a wood court house
building: although a city of about
1000, however they have two
modern three story brick build
ings with two others under con-
struction. The residence portion
being very home like" and of
modern designed buildings.
They will soon begin work on a
commodious court building" -
Beckham County oklahoma
Democrat.
The above is paragraph from
the pen of Mr.. o. H. Ward, who
made a tour of this country in his
auto last month, and then re-
turned home to write up the trip.
What he SAYS Of our city is very
true to a great degree. He states
that this is a quaint city on ac-
count of the business firms con-
Quoting their business in the low,
wooden buildings, etc. though it
is a city Of about 900 population.
There is usually a good reason for
conditions that exist and in this
case we wish to explain. Ii is
not for the reason that the peo-
pie of the town are not progress
i've that there are not more brick
and stone buildings, but it is be-
cause Lubbock became a city
before it had railroad facilities of
any kind, and the expense of
building other than wooden build
ings were very great, although
there were two concrete build
ings. two story high built in this
town before the railroad arrived.
Since then the change has been
going on by degrees and at this
time our quaintness' is rapidly
and we are becom-
ing stylish and uptadate by the
Of splendid pressed brick
buildings and the laying Of many
thousand feet Of concrete side
walks.
Our wooden court building will
be replaced ere long by one Of
the finest court houses in the
west. Lubbock is on the move.
Her people are as progressive as

The mothers Of this town who
are responsible for the girls who
CAD the streets should stop and
think what they are doing.
These girls are no longer child

able age. Where will you have
their impression come from
from the riff of the street or
from home? 1t is for the moth
ers of this town to settle the
question.

Let US cultivate a public spirit
and talk less and work more.
Encourage our local authorities
in making Improvements. Speak
up, speak well, talk encourag-
ingly Of our town and its bright
prospects. 1t is these many lit
tie considerations that make d
town grow. Nature has show
cred upon US her choicest bless
ings, and with perfect unity
and effort for the good of our
common cause, great will be the
result.

The poorest policy and the
worst economy is to keep the
children out of school. Every
day lost has Its manifold effort;
the knowledge gained on that
day is missed, pupil is thrown
behind, becomes discouraged,
has a bad effect on the class and
the very habit is to be avoided.

Corn in the South.

According to tabular statement issued by the
Department of Agriculture at Washington, Virginia
leads all the States south of her on the Atlantic
and the Gulf in the amount of corn produced per
acre. the number of bushels being 255 in thht State
for the current year. Louisiana leads the States on
the Gulf in the amount per acre, the number in her
case being 1856 for this year. Virginia gathered
2.3 bushels more per acre in 1910 than in l9O9;
Mississippi bushels more, and Louisiana O.6 OF a
bushel more. In the average yield per acre for the
last ten years, Virginia leads, Texas following, and
Louisiana falling below both.
The hog and demonstration trains that tour the
State are destined to find response in an increased
supply for the home smoke houses and the meat
packing plants. The wideawake farmers are re-
spending with intelligent alacrity to the lessons
taught, and the result will be heavier shipments OF
farm products and active settlement OF new people
on the vacant acres of the State. The people are
two wide awake to their own interests to ignore the
knowledge of expert teachers in the many branches
of agriculture, who have devoted their lives to a
thorough study of the properties OF soil and plant
life, to extract the best scientific information OF the
forces that will best promote successful cultivation

At Shreveport last Wednesday, the Lou
isiana Conservation Commission levied new
taxes upon the products of Louisiana IN
dustries which they estimate will yield De-
tween $4,000 and 100000: Taxes were
placed on lumber, oil, sulphur and salt,
among other products of the State, ana
various tax collectors of the State were
urged to get busy, because, presumably 'he
commission needs the money.
The commission ''positively announced
that it's first efforts will be directed toward
stopping the waste of natural gas in the
Caddo field, even if it is obliged to close
the "wild well'' we have heard so much
about. which will cost all of $4,000, &C
cording to estimates of experts. 1t IS also
stated that if the commission is forced to
make this expenditure, it will take posses
sion of the we'll until it produces enough
to repay the amount expended.
This is all very we'll; but what will be-
come of the rest of the money? Whose
nrivate property will the commission I'M
nrove with it? What will the commission
do for the sulphur mines to repay them for
the tribute levied upon their product? what
can It do to "conserve the salt mines?
What will it do to conserve" the forest
area, now owned privately, beyond addlng
a few tons to the deluge of advice the lum-
bermen are already receiving?
The people of Louisiana are not so
wealthy that they will not feel every dollar
wrung from them in taxes, and the needs
of the State are many and great. The
need of good roads is Statewide and all
pervading. We need more accommoda-
tons for the insane and other public
charges. We are just opening State re-
, formatory, to keep juveniles out OF prison;
which has been in state of suspended
animation for six years because the State
, could not spare the few thousand dollars
necessary to complete it. We are about te
refund a State debt of thirteen million dol
lars, with an interest charge of hundreds
, of thousands of dollars annually wlthou
, paying a cent on it.; and yet new methods
of taxing the people are being found b!
each Legislature, not to meet necessities
D but to pay more office holders.
The Conservation Commission will flnt
that the people of Louisiana will demand
= rigorous accounting of the proceeds OF tn
vast tax-exacton, and the exhibition
/, new pay rolls is not going to satisfy them
