Loose-Wiles Will
Increase Output
of Omaha Plant

r. Z. Zeler, manager Of the Omaha
plant Of the Loose-Wiles company. re-
ferring to the fact that the company has
arranged to increase Its capital stock,
says;
Our company has planned to increase
lis working capital from 10000 to SIS
10000 for the purpose of enlarging It's
present plants and for building and
edulpping others. No change will be
made in the plan or poiicy Of the com
pany. The business has grown from less
than g, $4,000 In 1903 to over 100000 in
1911. and the modern plants of the COM
pany at Omaha. Kansas City. St. Louis
Minneapolis. Chicago. Boston and Dallas.
Tex, are not sufficient to take care OF
the growing business. For that reason
the extension must be made. While the
executive officers Of the company are
busy with the details of the reorganixa-
ton. they will soon have a statement to
make to the public. The working force
at the Omaha plant viii be increased
from 800 10 800 operatives very soon.

KAFFlR AS GOOD AS CORN
Authority On Quality Of Feed Says
II is-The South Plains Raises
il in Abundance.

Kafir is as good a feed as
corn. Because farmers are
learning this, Kaffir has become
one of the most important crops
grown in Kansas today The
grain is valued highly as a feed
for all classes OF livestock. In
feeding. five bushels Of kafhr
seed are considered as being
equivalent to four bushels of
shelled corn. II should be
ground for all classes of live
stock. excepting poultry, as it is
so hard that they do not masti-
cate it thoroughly if it is fed
whole. 1t should never be fed
wet.
SiIage made from kafiir excels
corn silage as a feed. as the
percentage of grain and leaf to
stalk is much higher in kfiir.
The same thing is true in regard
to Kaflir fodder and corn stoyer.
Some Of the farmers over the
state cut their Kaffir with corn
binder. They then cut the
heads off with a knife. similar to
a tobacco cutter. only much

FRIDAY: THE 18TH
Oh YOU superstftiousl


The Fort Worth Star Telegram
commenting on this unusual oc-
curance says:
Friday is the day when the
cars run a minute ahead of time,
and the would-be passenger
misses his after chasing it for
two blocks; it's the day wnen
every man at some time is the
only man in a full car when an
ugly old maid gets on; it's the
day when every man is idiot
enough to wear his new hat and
have it blow off in the muddy
street; it's the day of general and
particular calamity
Friday. the 18th,
The unkind fate that rules
the world on that day doesn't
tear down any buildings or kill
anybody. These things are too
obvious. 1t merely drives man
to desperation by inflicting all
the petty annoyances that he
never has or could imagine be-
fore and then refuses to put him
out of his misery.
1T won't do any good to take
precautions, because the mis-
fortunes Of the day are never
repeated, but here are some
things that are advised against in
order to tighten the certain load
Of troubles:
Don't try to stand in front Of
a street car. The motorman will
stop the car after both your legs
are broken.
Don't show resentment if
some 200-pounder steps on your
corn.
Don't say you're sick and
can't go to the Office, You'll
probably be canned" and the
Office will burn down with your
ove.coat in il.
Don't bother to pick up an
pocketbooks you see on the
street. If you pick them up
they'll be empty. and If you
don't they'll contain from $50
to 500.
Don't do anything. Just try

larger, which is attached to the
side of wagon box. The heads
are allowed to fall in the wagon
box and are then threshed. The
fodder which is left is excellent
feed. Some persons have adj
vocated the feeding of the fod-
der to horses suffering with the
heaves, but DR.. c. w. McCamp-
bell, assistant professor of ami
NAL husba ndry at the Kansas
Agricultural College. says that
1t has no more value for this
purpose than any other similar
feed. The Kansas Industrialist.
With the facts before us that
this variety of feed stuff is no
longer an experiment among
feeders. but has been tested and
found to contain many of the
best qualities Of Indian corn be-
sides some that the Indian corn
has not. The South Plains is
sure to become one of the great
est feeding grounds for cattle
and hogs in the State. In years
to come the man with a few
head of cattle and a good farm
will be as independent as a hog
on ice" He will have all the
feed required to keep mis- stock
in fine shape; have some to sell
and also fatten several head of
cattle for the market the finish
ed product.

THE HOME MERCHANT

That eventful "once year
when Christmas comes around,
is now at hand. Unless ones
liver is out of fix, every one of
us hopes that the coming Christ
mas will be the brightest and the
best that we have ever
known. And hoping for it, we
should try to make 1t so. And
in trying to make it so, we should
try to make it so for others. In
trying to make it so for others,
we should not only include our
home folks, but our home town
and our home merchants. Our
home folks come first, of course,
but next to them are our neigh
Dors. the home merchants. The
home merchant needs our money
and by all the rules of trade and
fair play he is entitled to 1t.
Our home merchant helps to
make our home town. He helps
to build up and support our. home
institutions. fle helps to bring
in new enterprises and to adver-
tise our home town. He is one
of us. and his life, like ours, is
wrapped up IN our home town.
With all these facts staring us in
the face it would hardly seem
necessary for us to repeat that

1t was alright in Lubbock. II
was a good day for the people
of our fair city: nothing that we
could justly regret happened, on
the other hand many things oc-
Cured for us to be thankful for.
Our merchants all enjoyed a
liberal patronage and sent away
many pleased customers. The
school boys and girls enjoyed
the announcement of a two
weeks lay-off on that day. They
had their annual exchange of
gifts. one with another on that
day and all seemed to be bub-
bling over with happiness and
good cheer. II was Friday the
18th. and the memories of the
happy day will linger long in

old-time admoniton, Trade at
HomeW Amarillo Daily News.
Our people should think the
question of trading at home,
over more seriously than
many do. The home merchant
spends much money advertising
his business and he is entitled to
your most careful consideration.
Look through the pages of this
issue of the Avalanche. You
will see in it big advertisements
from the representative firms of
the city. They are bidding for
your trade. They go to the
trouble and expense to let you
know about their wares. and you
should certainly return the favor
by trading with them. You can
find what you want in Lubbock
stores and you run no risk of de-
lay in delivery. You are safe;
YOU will receive your purchase
in good order. Buy at home.
