San Angelo, Aug, 4. -Secre-
tary Tom Owen Of the Chamber
of Commerce has been busy the
past several days writing and
mailing checks to those who con-
tributed to the rainmaking fund.
The total fund was $1,000. The
rainmakers gave UP their con-
tract and returned to California,
and the experiment did not cost

spend their money for water is to
come to Lubbock. invest a few
hundred dollars in a well and
pumpage plant. The water is

CUT OUT FOR CONGRESS

That only Congress and not the su-

object to the initiative and referendum
method of legislation in the states, the
court itself decided Tuesday. That
tribunal held that the question OF
whether a state still maintained re-
publican form of government. guar

for Congress and not judicial one for

imposed by the initiative and referen-

The business manager and editor OF
the Star are both sore because nobody
will come out and run for sheriff or
tax collector against Galloway and
Colbert, thereby adding to the interest
of the campaign and. incidentally,
causing those individuals to spend
more money with the newspapers. The
business manager. who obtains more
10Y out of signing receipts than in pre-
pairing any other kind of literature,
suggested to the editor that he run for
sheriff against Galloway, while he, the
business manager, had try for Col
berts Job. The editor Is conceited
enough to believe he would make as
good a race against Galloway as any
one, but on reviewing the sum total OF
his possessions. and submitting list
of the same to Mr.. B. Goldman. found
that he couldn't pawn them all for
enough to pay his assessment The
business manager. however, Is con-
sidering soaking his salary as city
councilman and IL he succeeds Mr.. Col
bert may have a rival. 1t surely isn't
right for the newspapers not to have
a little coin, which the same is much
needed, out Of these two Offices.

publicly calling attention TO their

sake of my own two daughters. and the
daughters of other mothers who come

effect Of helping more tfmid and way
