IS THE STAR A BACHELOR?

Editor Morris of the layton
Herald. was down last Sunday
looking after some unfinished
business. 1t IS a strange thing
TO the editor of the Star that the
young men Of our adjoining
towns can not leave the Asper-
mont girls alone. And it is not
strange. either, because the fair
sex of our town are just simply
beautiful and have winsome ways
and the young cavaliers just can
not stay away. -Aspermont Star.
We see no reason why the Star
editor should object to the young
men Of the different towns pay
ing their respect to the Asper-
mont young ladies', without ne
is trying for some of them him
self, and the other fellow is
about to beat his time. Sounds
like the whim of a jealous old
bachelor.

OWNED-NOT RENTED
YOURS-N0T HIS

u. S. Government statistl-
clan who visited Texas recently,
reported that 80 per cent of the
black lands of the State are
farmed by renters and that farm
rents are steadily climbing high
er.
Several years ago a fourth or
a third was demanded; then a
third only was accepted; and
now in many localities a cash
bonus is demanded in addition.
There are yet men and living
in Texas who can remember the
time when there was not a rent
err from the Red river to the Rio
Grande while now in this great
Texan expanse there is but 70
per cent of the people who farm
who are not renters
1t is as vain to regret this fact
as It is useless to speculate upon
the conditions which have
brought it about. The renter
farms the black lands Of the
state and these lands will never
have any other kind of farming
population.
There is no remedy for the
black lands themselves. but
there is a remedy sovereign
and specific-for the renter him
self. viz: Come to the WIDE,
new and free Texas Panhandle
where the farmer is his own
landlord and where land rentals
are only under the benificent
sign manual of the God of
Bountiful Harvests.
In the Texas Panhandle the
Texas farmer can buy land un-
surpassed anywhere for fertility
and diversified croppage adapta-
bility for the same amount
which three years under the
rental system would cost him

THE CORRECT VIEW OF 1T

AT a mass meeting held in
Colorado Tuesday night over ST.
600 was raised so that the public
school could be carried on the
following two months. 81, 800
will be necessary to do this and
the balance will be readily forth
coming. - Big Springs Herald.
That is the correct view of
the situation. There IS a great
deal to be considered before the
school term should be allowed to
be curtailed. If it is possible to
carry schools nine months II
should be done by all means.
We understand there is a short
age of funds to continue the
school at Lubbock, and there has
been some talk of a shorter term
this year. We hardly think this
is the proper thing to do, how
ever the school is in charge OF
one of the most efficient board
of trustees and counsel that any
school could have, and we are
sure the best interests of the
children in Lubbock viii be
considered well before there IS
any definite steps taken. The
course that the pupils are ex-
pected to take this term is layed
out for a nine months term, and
II the school is cut short it will
prevent many from entering
another grade next yeas, which
will mean almost a years work
lost. The situation should have
the closest attention of the
board.

The best time to talk Lubbock
is right now. If you live here
and are satisfied with your sur
roundings and the country, tell
others about it. If you do not
like the country, the town. the
people, and YOU are soured on
the country GENERALLY. YOU are
at liberty to hike, and the quick
er the better.

The Texas Industrial Congress
is still receiving entries for the
corn and cotton growing con-
tests at the rate of one hun
dred per day. The highest
number of applications in any
one day during the week was
l54. which means that through
the influence of the organization
154 demonstration farms were
established in a single day. The
entries will close April /, though
any application that bears the
post mark of April |. will be
accepted.

The Secretary's Association.
with headquarters at Fort Worth
says: Probably no other town
in the state offers a better field
for an oil mill than does Lub-
book. twenty-five thousand
bales of cotton ginned in Lub-
book, Lynn, Crosby, Floyd,
Terry, Yoakum, Dawson and
Hale counties last year. Acre
age will be more than doubled
this year and there was never a
better season to start with.
Lubbock is the central town OF
all the territory named. This
is one of the feeding sections in
this country and local demand
for oil mill productions very
great. This city is also a fine
location for a cannery. Thous-
ands of bushels of sweet pota-
toes, beets. beans. tomatoes and
other canning products raised
here, in addition to fruits. Ac-
reage would be increased if
canning facilities were avail
able

Don't get it into your head
that the town cannot get along

but if you are a grumbler no
tears will be shed when you de-
eide to hike.

On the 9Th Of April there will
be held in the court house at
this place an election for the
purpose Of electing four trustees
for the Lubbock independent
School District. Good men are
necessary 10 fill this Office. II
