The Floydada Hesperian man
is a booster for Lubbock, but
his enthusiasm has slightly ex-
aggerated actual conditions. The
surveying crew has started to
work alright, some two weeks
ago, and actual grading and
construction work is an hourly
looked for event, but we have
never claimed TO have so many
main lines, though we really
believe that this is only about
half of what we will eventually
have. We have never claimed
to have so many division points,
for really we are not divided at
all. Lubbock works together
as one and movesTsteadily on oc-
casionally, (about ever six
months) add another railroad to
our list, and indeed we will have
all the machine shops and
monthly pay rolls that any town
could want in a few short
years. A cordial invitation is
ever extended to people to come
to Lubbock.

want to know how you can tell.
You don't know until you have
tried it. Experience has proven
time and again that 1t does hurt
you. Since cigarettes are 80
dangerous, poisonous, injurious
dirty and expensive, you that
smoke. quit, and you that don't,
never begin! II you smoke,
your life will not be a complete
success. You may succeed for
awhile but you won't succeed
like you would if you had q
sound body. People always dis
trust the cigarette boy and it is
very hard for him to get a start.
Not any of our great men
smoked when they were boys.
So if you expect to be great men
and well thought of, you must
not smoke cigarettes. Don't
you want to be healthy and
honest men? | know you would
be, and would not smoke if you
really knew the harm there was
in smoking. Your saving there
is no harm and not believing
there is harm. does not change
facts, and some of you know
that there is harm in them and
would quit if it was not so hard.
! know it is easier TO denounce
cigarettes than it is TO quit using
them, but tell you keep away
from them. When YOU see a
cigar stub or a snipe, grit your
teeth and grind your heel into it,
and when boys ask you to
smoke, make Joke of il and
stand back before they have
time to laugh, then if they want
to laugh let them laugh, you
ought to be glad to make them
merry. You may net be-
heve this, but try it. 1t won't
hurt YOU to try. and if you will
do this you will be serving vour
country and serving IL Just as
bravely as Uncle Sans soldiers.
So let us work and play and
try to make the world little

Providing Appropriation

Washington, June 10, Pres
dent Taft's veto of the army
appropriation bill may prevent
this years maneuver camps of
the regular army and the Nat
ional Guard.
In most cases the encamp-

July. Preparations were made
at Admission, Ala, for the en-
campment of the guards of Ala
hama, Georgia, Tennessee, Ken
lucky. South Carolina, North
Carolina, and Florida, beginning
July 5.
Arrangements have been
made for the encampment of

Mount Gretna, Pa, beginning
July 5; for guards of Louisiana
and Southwestern States az Al
exandria, La, on July 5. and

including Colorado, Washington
and Idaho, on July q.
The bill vetoed by the Presi-
dent contained an appropriation
OF 81, 500, 600 to pay in part the
expenses of the encampments.
Today an effort was begun to
induce the President to forward
to Congress a special message,
urging the appropriation for

CIGARETTES
pY MRS. s. P. sTuBBs


livered by one Of the High
school students at the Children's
Mass Meeting Sunday at the M.
E. Church. He asked that his
name be not given, so we gladly
respect his wishes and let his
own words testify of the truths
he has been taugEt in our public
schools:
Ladies and Gentleman. Boys
and Girls, and Especially Boys:
How many of you smoke cigar
cites? Not any | hope, but in
order to show you all the evil
effects of cigarettes will make
you a short talk on them:
There is no man or boy who
smokes that can give you a sufii-
cient reason for doing so. Some
say they smoke for the tooth
ache, others say they smoke TO
pass away the time, but that is
all rubbish. What would you
think of a man playing with a
big rattle snake, and letting the
snake bite him Just to pass the
time away? You would think
he was crazy to be playing with
anything as dangerous as a
snake. Now that is what a
great many people think about
boys who smoke cigarettes, for
tobacco is as dangerous as a
rattlesnake. 1t contains one Of
the most poisonous drugs there
is, known as nicotine, and when
you smoke cigarettes nicotine
gets in your teeth and kills the
nerve. This is why people
think tobacco helps their teeth,
for after the nerve is dead they
cannot ache or hurt any more.
If YOU keep on using tobacco
nicotine causes the teeth to de
cav and crumble. Tobocco is
injurious to the eyes, throat
lungs. heart, skin and brain, the
same way it makes the eyes red
and weak and sometimes ends in
total blindness. Cigarettes in
lures the lungs more than pipes
or cigars, because cigarettes are
weaker land they inhale them
deeper which causes consump-
ton when il gets INTO the
air sacks. and all know what a
dreadful disease this is. To-
bacco makes the heart flutter
fearfully and this causes il 10
send out more blood than is nee
cessary and this causes the capt.
Ilaries to swell and get out of
place and instead of taking in
pure oxygen for the blood as
you should, you are taking in
poison for the blood and this
makes you feel dull and drowsy.
Tobacco destroys your ambition;
you know what to do but you
don't feel like doing il. You
would like to have an education.
but you can't study. Why don't
you feel like work? Why don't
you feel like studying? 1t is
because you are the miserable
slave of the cigarette. Don't
you want TO serve a better
master than the cigarette? One
that will not let you do anything
you want to and destroys your
life? OF course you do. More
than that it makes your breath
smell bad and your lips are not
nice and clean for mother TO kiss.
because they have tobacco stain
on them. And what about the
cigarette boys hands? Isn't he
ashamed of them? He may not
be among his associates, but he
is when he is with some nice
young lady or his teacher. The
greatest reason of all why we
should not smoke cigarettes is
because we can't advance or
