Here IS something in pancakes a Iit-
tie different from the ordinary:
One quart of raw potato, either grated
or run through food chopper add four
eggs singly. ating each one in thor
oughly. Add c1lt and pepper and a lit
tie flour, only enough to bind the mix
ture; the al, runt will vary owing to diff
ference in potatoes. Fry by the spoon
full in drispings or Cottolene and serve
promptly
Pancal.ss, doughnuts, fritters, etc,
fried IL Cottolene come out light, crisp,
and free from grease. You will find it
more satisfactory than lard-more eco

no Indigestion in Cottolene.

DOES IT PAY

No doubt the readers of thi:
paper have noticed before this
time the scarcity of the real es-
tate mems ads in the Avalanche,
Only a very few of the number
who are in business in Lubbock
are represented in the columns
of this paper. They say it does
not pay. Possibly il does not.
But listen Few days pass that
some one does not come to this
Office looking for exchanges
from other places so that they
can find the name and address
of a real estate firm in a certain
town, and we venture 10 say
that the same is true in every
newspaper office in the country.
Likely they call al the news
paper Office somewhere else and
look for the Avalanche so they
can see the names and address
es of the leading real estate men
of the town. II your ad is in
there, you are likely 20 get the
business. and one deal will often
clear you enough money 10 pay
for a half page for a year.
Now do YOU think you are the
wise guy'that YOU think yourself
TO be? Do you claim to be
fair dealer? Do YOU think you
are carrying your part Of the
burden Of development? Are
you toting fair with the news
paper? You expect il 10 boost
the country from one years end
20 another, and if by our boost
ing we start something and you
slip in and get the commission.
are you doing the fair thing?
You are not thief or a robber. I
but you are not showing your 4
proper appreciation. The Ava
lanche is probably due several
thousand dollars in commissions
for land deals pulled off in Lub-
book. for the reason that we
were instrumental in getting
some people here who have
bought extensively. If any one
else brings them here you whack

not want that, but we feel that
we should have a better line up
of real estate mems ads in the

MAY STOP PRIZE FIGHT


II seems that the recently
elected governor of New Mexico
is bitterly opposed to prize
fighting. He expresses himself
thusly with reference to the
Johnson.Fynn fight that IS be-
ing advertised to be pulled off
in Santa Fe, N. NJ, in the near
future: Il am absolutely op-
posed 70 the fight, and believe it
is one of the very worst things
that could happen. If there is
any way for me to prevent It
| will certainly avail myself Of
the opportunity. II there is no
law on the subject ! will ask
the legislature 20 pass a law
that will enable me TO prevent
the fight taking place on New
Mexico soil "
We say hurrah for Mcdonald.
We believe this is one kind Of
sport" that is not fit to be
engaged in in a civilized country.
There is absolutely nothing ele-
waiting to il. It is british; it is
degrading. II is with shawss
facedness that the christian ~
pie Of the land look upon IL II
fills the minds Of the youths with
corrupted stories, creates a de-
sire to gamble, and we believe
that If men must fight, they
should be forced to pull off
their stunts in the middle Of
lark Africa, or some less civil
zed country. The United States
5 not the place for it. and we
hope to see the day when prize
lighting is absolutely prohibited
n any part Of the Union.

TEXAS LOSES FIGHT
will Not Get Appropriation From
Federal Government For
tuberculosis Sanitarium

Washington, May 9. Texa:
has lost the fight which wa;
so effectively made in the House
by Representatives Garner, Bur
Lesson and others for a session
Of the Fort Clark reservation to
the State of Texas for a tuber-
culosis sanitarium. The confer
ences on the military appropria-
ton bill have agreed to omit this
provision from the bill.
This proposal first came up
as an independent bill in the
House, but on protests from
citizens Of Bracket, where the
abandoned post is situated, ac-
ton on the measure was held up
by Senator Culberson TO give
the people of Bracket a chance
TO be heard. In the meantime
the House added this provision
bill, and in that way it came
before the Senate. The Senate
did not include it in its bill, so
the question of its insertion was
left TO the conferees.
OPPOSITION FROM SENATOR ROOT
It now developes that owing
to opposition from Senator Root
and other Republicans, on the
conference, the provision has
been killed in conference. This
is based on the fact
that the Government is about to
enter an army concentration
plan that will necessitate the
abandonment Of a number of
posts, and Senator Root and his
colleagues contend that until a
general policy Of dealing with
these abandoned posts is agreed
upon, they win oppose the Civ
ng Of any Of these posts to
States, counties or charitable
The attitude of
.heSe Senator'S also ends the
cherished dream Of the people
# Brownsville of getting all or a
,art Of the old Fort Brown for
lark and other public purposes. /

City Building Notes

You can start a city but il
takes capital to make il go.
To be progressive is to hold the
card of entree to the money bags
of capital.
The majority of visitors notice
the condition of a city's streets
and sidewalks the first thing.
If the streets are unkept and
the sidewalks few and far be-
tween, they usually take the
first train back.
Good roads are more essen
tial than million dollar court
houses, the one benefits the mas
ses, the other the classes.
A commercial organization is
the backbone of a city. It
builds factories, advocates home
industry and is in favor of
every movement that makes for
the progress and upbuilding of
the city.
The success of a city depends
on the progressiveness of its
citizens.
Keep a pushing and a pulling,
and it will not be long before
others join in and help
tighten the burden.
Boost your city with a men, /
bership card in the local COM
mercial organization.
Experience shows that by de-
voting half your time to boosting
the city, your business will
double as a result.
Keep your city in the limelight. I
Cities have sprung into promi-
nelce in a day.
