Tuesday Evenings Entertainment.


The appearance of DR.. and Mrs. Ed
win Southers at the high school audito-
rum Tuesday evening was one OF the
best entertainments which has been
offered the residents Of Benton for some
time. The theme, ellis Majesty, the
Devil" adapted from Herr Frederick
Holm's master classic, was presented in
three parts meeting, the dream,
the awakening. DR.. Southers, dressed
as the Red Prince, certainly made q
striking appearance, and his acting was
of high rank. Mrs. Southers, represent
ing Empress Olga, though lacking
somewhat in the skill of an impersonatol
shown by the "Red Prince" was never
theless excellent.
Mr.. Lee N. Bush, under whose direc
ton the entertainment was given, de
serves credit for bringing such an at
traction to our town. The audience wa
small, though the weather was gloomy
We can hardly expect high-class enter
tainments unless our people lend thei
support and encouragement. D.

On Sunday, December |, 1912, at Car
terville, La.
The Angel of Death has visited the
home of Mr.. May harrington and taken
away the husband and father. He was a
Confederate veteran, about seventy five
years of age, came to this country when
quite young man, and had been citi-
zen of Bossier Parish about fifty years.
He was a just and upright man and
was loved by all who knew him.
A chair is vacant in the home which
can never be filled, and to be mourned
by his wife and four children-Lizzie,
John, Marcus and Calvin-and host OF
friends.
I loved him because he loved and
stood for the right. May our young men
learn to emulate his many virtues.

TELLS 1T SCARY

There has been no little Won
derment in this part of the
country as TO why so many
movers wagons have been pass
ing through the past several
weeks from the west. Sheriff
Deaton is in a position to ex-
plain it. He returned Tuesday
from a weeks stay in the west,
and told an Empire reporter that
the conditions from Sweetwater
to Lubbock were simply dread
full from the effects of drouth.
The people in that scope of
country had neither raised feed
stuff nor cotton and many had
been forced to leave. 1t was
raining in that section however
Monday as he came through
from Plainview. - Stephenville
Empire.
The Erath county sheriff no
doubt toldit scary. He told all
the bad and withheld the good.
He told of the unfortunate con
ditions of the farmers in a
stretch of country between
Sweetwater and Post City. but
he did not say that from Post
City on TO Plalnview that the
crops are extra good; that we
are shipping out car loads Of
feed every day and will amount
to train loads, and long ones at
that, ere the new year arrives.
Last year several car loads of
feed were shipped into Erath
county to make this years crop
on, and we can spare few hun
dred cars this winter if you need
any. The Stephenville sheriff
was correct about a small por-
ton of his report, but he must
not get it into his head that
Lubbock or the South Plains
country is in that class. All we
ask is fair play. Come 10 Lub-

Trees should be planted at the
proper time and given the
proper attention, so that they
will live. The grounds might be
enclosed too TO the betterment of
all concerned. These suggestions
are offered in good faith and the
Avalanche is willing TO do all in
itf power to put them into
service as soon as they can be
worked out. It will take time
TO develop such improvements
as we suggest, but much of it
can be done now. The longer
we put off the start the longer
we will be accomplishing what
we undertake. We suggest that
"A meeting be held soon and dis
cuss the matter of School
Ground Improvements. " We
suggest too, that this meeting
be held in connection with
Trustees and Patrons Day"
at the Lubbock County Teachers
Institute designated as Deem
Der 10th. On this occasion a
good representation of the pa
irons of the Lubbock School and
all the trustees should be
present, and they are the people
to take this matter up. Let the
program be so amended as TO in
clude at least thirty minutes in
which TO discuss the question
and form some kind of organ
ization TO look after the matter.
Let's hear from others.

OUR SCHOOL GROUNDS

We believe of all places, the
public school grounds should be
the most attractive place in
town. except home itself, but
we believe the school ground OF
the Lubbock High School is
abo 1t the most unattractive place
in Lubbock. This is a question
that has been agitating the
minds of the faculty for several
years but they are not in posi-
ton to accomplish much in the
way of improvements. II takes
money. II takes much time and
labor and it seems to be a part
Of the school work Of the town,
that has been sadly overlooked.
Every patron of the Lubbock
school should be interested
enough in the surroundings of
their children TO make a special
effort to improve the school
grounds. They are rough and
rocky nothing attractive about
them. Several wagon loads Of
rocks could be hauled off the
grounds and a car load or more
of cinders taken from the fur
mace and dumped out TO one
side Of the building could be re-
moved improving the looks of

BUCKWHEAT BATTER.

Editor the News Although you
seem to have completely imposed upon
the unsophisticated editor of t he
Richmond Journal in that Buckwheat
Batter last week. you are not to get
aWay with your ridiculous bluff as
pancake connoiseur. You may have
acquired some disjointed ideas about
buckwheat from Newt Hartman, who
was raised in that part of Bland
where nothing else will grow, but l
will bet my dog against your office
cat that you don't know that the
grain is three-cornered and that it is
grown like goober peas, and stacked
like rabbit nests. In your painful
effort to enlist sympathy, and belief,
though a Baptist by birth instinct
and education, you measure your meal
in what your call an "honest
Methodist quart cup" and from sub
sequent cantos in this wonderful epic,
you seem to argue that this honest
quart will make enough buckwheat
cakes to carpet church, or feed a
family, with four disks each at
single helping.
Your whole article looks like a
worm fence built by a drunk man
after dark. 1t lacks all the elements
of symmetry and cohesion. For in
stance. you suggest sorghum, the
only "sour" sweet known to modern
cookery as "teaser," to go with
the sour mixture known as buckwheat
batter.
Now, though sorghum has been
known ever since the civil war as
the best possible treakle in which TO
wallup your dodger, tho most ad-
vanced free thinkers in gastronomy
have never dared to try it on buck
wheat cake. Another weak place in
your ode is the shocking use you
make of the term pockmarked" in
describing buckwheat cake, which
shows that in some remote period,
you "have" seen waffle, and this
is doubtless the delectable pancake
of which you sing.
If you had known anything about
the subject on which you wasted
column and three-quarters, when the
table was ready the last two lines of
this ruby of the breakfast table
would have been
Put out the dogs
And shut the door.

that you didn't recommend butter
