COTTON TAKES SLUMP
OF ABOUT So A BALE

New York, Nov. l8.--Heavy gen.
eral selling in the cotton market was
renewed today owing to increasing
nervousness over the coal situation
and reports of an easier tone for
spot cotton. Prices broke approx
mately 1 lie a pound with March
deliveries selling off TO $3.50 late in
the afternoon, or So bale below
yesterdays closing figures.
Weakness in foreign exchange and
the uncertainties of the money mar
ket also were factors in the decline
and there was heavy Southern sell
ing during the afternoon as well as
pressure from Wall street and local
sources.
II was rumored that some Of the
Southern mills might be compelled
to shut down because Of lack Of
fuel

COUNTY MAY BUY LARGE
TRACTOR FOR ROAD WORK

The County Commissioners went
to a tractor demonstration held on
the canyon about sixteen miles
southeast of this city, today. The
purpose of the demonstration was to
see if a large tractor put out by the
Avery people would be feasible for
the road work in this county. The
demonstration took place on one of
the hardest road problems ever en-
countered in Lubbock county and
one when finished will probably be
most costly and beautiful.
The tractor in question is forty
horsepower tractor and is in charge
Of three men who are experts in the
handling Of it. The piece of road
which the demonstration was made
The Lubbock avalanche. (Lubbock, Tex.) 1909-1922, 1919-11-20

on is a grade down the canyon, about
four miles northeast Of the town OF
Slaton. About one year and half
ago work was started on the grade
and the county has been to a great
deal Of expense in the meantime
keeping men working with teams and
light road machinery trying to main
tain and build road. This method
besides being slow was expensive
and in reality the condition of the
road was very little improved.
After two or three runs made with
the large tractor by these men, ex-
perts in their line, the grade is TAX
ing on aspects Of being made com
plete in a short time. II is practical
ly assured that the tractor will be
bought by the commissioners. Any
one interested enough in these things
will be well paid for his time and
trouble in going to this piece Of road
work and watching the wonderful
progress being made there.
There were about twelve men,
mostly from Lubbock down today,
at the demonstration and many pic
lures of the tractor at work and the
progress made, were taken. Besides
the commissioners from Lubbock
down were, Carol Thompson, County
Farm Demonstration and F. ID.
Brown, assistant secretary of the
Chamber of Commerce and Mr..
Nome, of the Moline studio.
The road crossing the canyon at
this particular place, winding at
grade of about IL per cent and nine
teen hundred feet in length down
the sides of the rough canyon, is one
of the scenic places of Lubbock
county. Small shrubbery, dotting
the sides of the hills and tiny streams
in the valley, everything to make a
fine place for picnicing.

in the Canadian forces was 293. He

IF YOU are young and slender and
do not want to look like all other
young and slender women, here is a
nice example of the type of dress
which is according to Hoyle'' SO far
as aShion is concerned, but whose
style does not call undue attention
to itself. 1t is made of navy blue
charmeuse, is simple and dignifed
and very individual in modest sort
of way.
i Notwithstanding all early predic-
tions for boufant styles, it may be
said with entire truth that in the day
time dresses actually worn wherever
well dressed women gather, the
straight silhouette is seen quite as
much as is the bouffant effect, if not
more.
In this dress the skirt is cut
straight with ample width for walking
or dancing. The bodice drapes
slightly about the waist, basque fash
ion, and ties into the soft loop at the
side, which is given little stiffness
with a facing of white taffeta. Inch
wide navy blue grosgrain ribbon
tightly futed is an out of the ordi-
nary trimming, which adds unique
