COM MeRClAL SECY. ASSN.
Field Secretary Visits Lubbock
And is Well Pleased With
Conditions Of Country.

the Commercial Secretaries and
Business Mems Association. of
Texas, which organization has
its principal Offices in Fort
Worth.
Mr.. Porter A. Whaley. field
secretary of the association, was
here Tuesday interviewing the
live wires of the city IN the in
terest of the organization and
seeing conditions as they actually
exist. He is touring the state
and will make a personal report
to his organization upon return
ing to Fort Worth so that they
will be prepared to give correct
information to those who in
quire of them about the different
sections of the state and they
receive many inquiries from
every section of the country
from every class of people. and
as Mr.. Whaley seemed 80 well
pleased with conditions here we
are confident that any informa-
ton given out regarding Lub-
book will be Of great advantage
to this section. Men who want
to invest will learn of the true
conditions of our country and
the great opportunity awaiting
the investor. The man seeking
horne will also get in touch
with the situation here through
the medium of the Commercial
Secretaries and Business Mems
Association, in a measure dis
interested party. and in that
way will bring about immigra-
ton of this kind. the kind we
need 90 badly to help to develop
the great agricultural possibili-
ties of the South Plains. Mr..
WhaIey stated to the Avalanche
man that he found crop condi-
tons here so much better than
in many other parts of the state;
that the South Plains would have
decided advantage over MANY
localities in the reports that he
will make TO the head Office and
which will go on record for
future reference. He says the
Association is interested in the
organization of commercial clubs,
Business Mems Leagues. etc, in
every section of the state and
stated that as soon as Lubbock
gets ready to organize a Conn.,
mercial Club land we sure need
it) the organization at Fort
Worth will be glad to offer any
suggestion or render any assist
ance within their power to help
us along in the organization of
same. The Commercial Secre-
taries and Business Mems Asso-
citation is doing a great work for
the development of Texas and is
worthy of her hire. There is a
certain amount of expense con-
nected with the maintenance OF
the organization and each town
in the state is invited to come in
and bear part of the expense
and the following are the firms
in Lubbock who showed their
good will toward the organiza'
ton and were willing to help il
along in its good work IN a finan'
cial way. and donated to the

A short time ago a hunter found In
n patch OF woods in Connecticut eleven
large blacksnakes tied up In hard
knots and stone dead Two telegraph
wires ran through the woods overhead
and a few days before there had been
a heavy blast set Off in a quarry near
by. This broke down the wires and
started colony of blacksnakes from
their slumbers in a neighboring ledge.
One of the wires was crossed In dis
tant city by trolley wire, and hence
the broken wires which lay near the
snakes den made death trap When
the snakes came to the wires trailing
on the ground one after another crossed
over them, touching the ends OF both
wires at the same time. They thus
"short clrcuited" them and received a
shock which caused death. Immediate
ly upon being shocked each snake
curled up In a hard knot. thus opening
the circuit and setting the trap again

Owen Johnson's "Stover at Yale"

nightly by the ears down at New

have been divided, a certain element
harboring wish that Mr. Johnson
might be ducked for painting an I'M

dainful superiority which is only
possible at 10 or 20, in the remark

At all events, thanks in part to the
industrious methods by which Mr..
Johnsons story has been advertised
there has been some reyauation of
college democracy and training. One
