AMERICAN LEGION
IS N~ON-POUT|CA[

The New York county organization
of the American Legion at its first
convention held in Carnegie hall, adj
onted a series of resolutions which
should be kept before the youth of the
country. The first of these deals
with political candidates who are de-
barred from membership. The second
stimulates that the order shall not en-
dorse any candidate for public Office.
The most important takes up the
uuestlon of alien residents of the
United States with the following rec
ommendation:
Whereas, This country has always
welcomed immigrants who desire to
settle here and become Americanized
and assimilated with our native
population; and,
Whereas, This country has no
room for aliens who are not friendly
to American Institutions and who
have no desire to become part and
parcel of our national life.
Now, therefore, be it resolved, That
the New York county organization of
the American Legion hereby favors
legislation by congress that will pro-
vide for the deportation of all aliens
who agitate for the overthrow of our
institutions; and be it further
Resolved, That the New York
county organization OF the American
Legion hereby favors legislation by
congress that will secure the deport-
alton of all aliens who resided in this
country during the period of the war
and who successfully claimed exemp-
ton from military service on the sole
| ground that they were aliens; and be
it further
Resolved. That the New York county
organization of the American Legion
hereby favors legislation by congress
which will provide for the deporta-
ton of all aliens who after residing
here a specified number of years fail
to take steps to become American
citizens. an exception being made for
such persons as represent foreign
business interests: and be it further
Resolved. That the New York county
organization of the American Legion
hereby favors the taking of all nee.

federal, state and municipal govern
nlcnts TO prompt the Amerieaniza.

measures being the establishment o

of the publication of newspaper
printed in foreign languages by with

and by all other lawful means; ant

HISTORY BY OLD TIMER

Even the dogs did not bark at you
then. so sociable were conditions
here" This was the statement Of
Mrs. Florence 6. Armstrong, who
came to Plainview in August. 1900,
and has seen il grow and develop.
As an illustration, Mrs Armstrong
told of trip she and her husband
made down near Hale Center, and as
they returned they were caught in a
thunder storm. They entered dug
out at the side Of the road. some ones
home. and found that there was no
enc =. kc.e. II was then that the
dogs even failed to bark in protest.
There were between 800 and 400
people in Plainview when Mrs. Arm
strong came. nineteen years ago. The
hotel. the only hotel in town, stood
where the Wayland Building now
stands. and the business part Of town
was about the wooden court house.
especially on the north. west and
south sides Of the square" There
wasn't even alfalfa in the court house
yard then. for alfalfa was unknown
in the country at that time. Mrs. Arm
strong asserted.
There were two physicians in the
town. DR.. J. H. Wayland and DIR. L. l.
Dye. Their practice covered radius
Of sixty miles, and there we're no au-
tomobiles here then. The journey
was made with a team and buggy,
usually.
There never has been a saloon In

~ drawn, almost feudal. Other feud,
were common, and Mrs. Armstrong
can tell Of men being killed in the
business part of town. She said the
only big building in town was a two
story wooden structure on the south
west corner Of the present square,
across from the hotel then. and she
never looked at il without thinking of
the time man was killed in front Of
that building.
The Baptist Church stood near the
present laundry site. The Methodist
church was in the eastern part Of
town. and the Christian church was
west Of what is now Broadway.
Nineteen hundred WIS very similar
to this year, according to Mrs. Arm
strong The lakes were full, and
crops were abundant. Labor was
scarce. Peaches were plentiful DR..
f. NJ. Harp, who lived near what is
now Alternately, was feeding large
peaches to his pigs that year.
Canyon was the nearest railroad
point at that time. Thread, flour,
coal oil. and coal famines were COM
mon. Everything was freighted from
Canyon. Mrs. Armstrong came to
Plainview in August, and it was Nov
ember before her household goods
reached Plainview. II was almost
impossible to find a home here then.
Many Of the homes were dug-outs
right in town. "Plainview was

Armstrong declared. las was the

house in the town, and the only one
for years, was on the present Lamar
school grounds. r. B. c. Howell, ac-
cording TO Mrs. Armstrong; remem-
brance, taught the first school in
Plainview The post office was on
the corner across the street from the
hotel. and the mail was brought every
day. when the roads were passable,
by stage from Canyon. Passengers
were also brought here by that stage
The first deep water was discover

first mayor was J. r. Delay, who
went into office in 1907. Plainview
first club was the Mystic Club, which
was organized in November. 1906, at
the suggestion Of some school teach

During the past two winters in
Lubbock eggs have been 80 scarce
and hard 10 get that they have sold
for anywhere from fifty 10 ninety
cents per dozen. and could hardly be
had for that From time to time
through the local papers, and con-
stantly through our Club meetings
have urged the preserving Of eggs for
home use that We might have plenty
Of eggs to use when the price is high.
But there is another phase Of egg
production and marketing that | wish
10 call your attention to just now. In
the summer when eggs are plentiful
they are also very cheap. and often
We serve them morning. noon, and
night, until we become almost dis
gusted with eggs. because the market
price is so low that we do not think
IL worth while to carry them to mar.
ket You wonder why merchants in
Lubbock are not just as anxious to
get your eggs in July as they we're in
March. ard you think the large sup
ply is responsible for the low prices.
II is in part. But why should the
merchants not be glad TO buy the eggs
and ship them TO some large city in
ear lots. This is why; very few PEG.
pie in Lubbock county produce infer
tile eggs: most Of the eggs from
the farms are anywhere from one 10

of the sugar problem. finds that
dealers profits in sugar begin some-
times long before the cane is cut

spicuous instances of such profit
taking was that in New York in
which it was shown that seven firms
