Left Ser Money to RelIboys.

1t is going to be pretty difficult to
get many of the bellboys of the hotels
to go on strike if folks keep on dying
and leaving them fortunes, Just be-
cause they were prompt with the Ice
water.
The latest instance of the kind
came to light last month, when the
will OF Hanah Dwight Green was Of
fered for probate in Albany, N. Y, and
II was found that she had left all her
estate save some personal effects and
jewelry to three bellboys.
These boys were Edwin J. Greene

Donegan of Boston, who were en-
ployed in the hotels where Mrs.

WHY SHOP OUT OF TOWN.
Local Stores Well Stocked With
Christmas Goods.

Although Christmas is less than a
month off, there are but few local ads.
to assure the home people that shop
ping in Baltimore is a delusion and
snare.
Besides paying your car fare, buy
ing your luncheon, being jostled by
the crowd, having your pockets pick

that for twenty years or more there
is not Christmas when some Aunap-
oils man or woman has not had their
pocket picked or lost their money
while shopping in Baltimore) there
ara many other things to be consid-
cred
There is the wear and tear on your
nerves, the physical strain; bringing
piles OF small packages down on the
cars. to the misery OF yourself and
the discomfort of every other passen-
ger. Why rot shop at home? There
is at least one large toy department
in town that advertises-The Globe.
The basement of the Globe Furni-
ture Company, West street, is stock
ed with every conceivable kind of
uOif anu toy
There are character dolls of all
kinds. infant dolls and dolls that
are as large as children. There are
all kinds of mechanical and musical
toys. 1t will do you good to inspect
the Christmas goods and toys at The
Globe. Besides you will have prompt
service and not have to wait an hour
for your change as you do in the Bal
timore shops.
Still another important thing, The
Globe manager, Mr. Harwitz, guar
antees that if you can get the same
toy in Baltimore any cheaper he will
refund your money. Goods and toys
at the Globe are priced low, and some
are even below Baltimore prices.
Before doing your Christmas shop

do the same thing by taking
over the express companies

SAYS WE ARE RIGHT

Commenting on an article that
appeared in the Avalanche sever
al weeks ago with regard TO the
opening of a straight road west
from this place. the Yoakum
County News says:
THE Avalanche speaks words
of wisdom and good advice in
the above article. Lubbock is
now getting the trade from this
part of the country and the bust
ness men of that town should
see that our freighters have good
roads over which TO travel.
Most of the people of Terry
county are making Tahoka their
shipping point, but we believe
that the business men and citi-
zens generally Of Yoakum county
will make Lubbock their ship
ping and trading point so long
as they receive good treatment
at the hands of its business
men,"

Lubbock is a great railway
center. Every week there are
two columns in the Avalanche

roads being built there. but the
funny part of it is. there is little

t1y 1t out on the rural routes
alone. OF course thissis what
the great mail order houses
want. Let Uncle Sam do their
fetching and carrying for a
price that would be below cost
and then they could launch out on
a campaign of mail order exploita-
ton that would sound the death
knell of the country merchant
and the country town. The
farmers of the country, awaiting
themselves of the mail order
opportunities that would follow
such system, would throw SO
large a volume of their business

to the concerns located in the
great cities that they would
force their home merchants out
of business, destroy the home
market for produce and convert
their county seat towns to mere
cross road hamlets where the
famers would only have to go to
pay his taxes and attend court.
The mercantile interests that
now pay so much of the person

sustain the courts, the roads, the

of concerns of a similar character
that would spring up in the big
cities to maintain the institutions
we now have in the cities to
maintain in this country. They
would have to pay cash in adj
vance for everything where they
now get a liberal credit from
the local merchants. This is
not an overdrawn picture. 1t is
one that will actually exist in
the event that a bill of this kind
is passed by congress. The
farmer owes it to his home towns
to maintain them and to do his
trading in them. Ii is these

centers which give additional
