CANNING CENTER IS
SOURCE INTEREST
FOR HOUSEKEEPERS

The canning center in the high
school building is in the middle of It's
second week, with a total attendance
to date of approximately one hundred.
The canning is limited mainly 10
chicken, spaghetti, peas and beans,
because the market does not afford
other canning material at present.
While peaches are plentiful, they are
not of good quality for preserving.
Considerable enthusiasm is mani
fest by the ladies who are making
use of the center and in view of the
advantages offered at practically no
expense, the wonder is expressed that
more do not avail themselves of it,
and it is thought that perhaps greater
publicity is needed. The center will
continue it's service till the last Of
July.

In France will enjoy the new John Elmer
son-Anito Loos comedy production, "Oh,
You Women which is on view at the
Isis theatre tomorrow. The theme of the
comedy deals with the efforts of the re-
turning troops to regain their jobs which
have been preempted by women in their
absence at the front. The authors have
treated the story with discrimination and
the satire is keen as dagger blade.
Ernest Truck and Louise Huff are CO.

FINAL WARNING is
GIVEN TO GERMANY

Paris, Dec. S.-The supreme coun-
cil's notes dealing with the peace
treaty were delivered to Baron Won
Lersner. head Of the German delega-
ton. this evening.
The first note denies the German
demands for modification Of the
treaty on the surrender Of Germans
charged with crimes against interna-
tional warfare and the return of pris-
Oners. II agrees 10 consider the eco
nomic effects of the indemnities re
quired for the sinking of the warships
in the Scapa Flow on Germany in "a
spirit Of equity, after a hearing by
the reparations commissions
The note warns Germany "for the
last time" that denunciation Of the
armistice would give the allied ar
mics latitude for necessary military
measures, and adds:
I'm this spirit we await without
delay, signature of the protocol and
the exchange of notifications"
The second note deals entirely with
the Scapa Flow incident. II places
the responsibility on the Germans
for the sinkings and sees in the pro-
test "only an attempt, difficult to
explain, to delay the treaty"

WOULD CHANGE PLAINS
BACK TO CENTRAL TIME

The Officials Of the Panhandle
Plains Chamber Of Cmmerce, In pre-
sentng the proposition before the
Interstate Commerce Commission for
a rehearing Of the standard time zone
investigation to place the Panhandle
back in Central time, pctitioned the
Commission as follows.
The act of Congress approved
March 10, 1918, entitled "An Act 10
save daylight and TO provide standard
time FOR the United States" provides
that the orders Of the Interstate Com
merce Commission in this regard
may be modified from time to time.
Accordingly now comes the Panhnn-
dlc-Plains Chamber Of Commerce.
and n behalf Of a certain district In
Northwest Texas, known as the Pan
handle and Plains region, respectful
~ petitions that the above entitled
cause may be raopened and a hearing
granted with "a view 10 modification
Of the order Of October "a, 1913, ef-
fective January ], 1919, and for tins
purpose We present the following:
The Panhandle Plains Chamber Of
Commerce is an organization repre-
sentng the interests Of thirty eight
counties IN The Panhandle and Plains
region Of Texas in matters Of COM
merce. general development Of the
different localities, and welfare of
the bodies polite The official head
quarters OF this organization are To-
Gated in the city Of Amarillo, Texas.
Prior to the order Of October "a,
1918, all Of this region had been To-
Gated for many years in the second
or Central Time" zone and from
long use had become accustomed
and habituated to this standard OF
time
Under the daylight saving provis-
ion advancing the time one hour in
March this region was again restored
10 It's accustomed time standard, but
since the setting back Of the time in
October much Inconvenience and dis
satisfaction has been developed re-
sulting in an almost universal demand
for a restoration Of the conditions eN-
isting prior to January /, 1919.
While this is felt in all conditions
Of public and private life, the prin-
fNDtl WDitAAfN1 fhNltn AIOfN iiNNt ffi-
gagged in commercial pursuits on ac-
count Of the great handicap in actual
business operation The working
hour comes about one hour after
sunrise, while the closing hour comes
about an hour after dark, giving rise
TO many inconvenience and much
confusion IN the handling of traffic.
Moreover. on account of the close
connection Of this portion Of the
state with other portions of the state
still within the Central Time zone,
business and commercial conditions
demand that the old situation be re-
stored
We therefore respectfully petition
that tins matter be reopened and that
this section Of the state. or so much
Of u as may be shown necessary. may
be restored to the Central Time zone.
and that a time and place may be
designated for hearing of the mat
ters herein presented.

Lubbock has within The past few
years developed into a meeting place
for large gatherings, and she is con-
tinuing to grow Ia favor among the
people who visit us from time to time.
For several years this has been the
meeting place for the South Plains
Teachers Institute, growing from
county institute 20 that Of district
covering nine counties, and this bids
fair 70 become the permanent meet
ING place for this institute. This
year there will be In the neighbor-
hood Of four hundred teachers from
Lubbock, Crosby, CARA, Lynn, Ter
ry, Gaines, Dawson, Hockey, and
Cochran counties, besides numbers
Of visiting educators who viii meet
with the institute here-some Of them
representatives of high institutions
of learning from all over the State,
and including the State Superntend-
ent Of Public Instruction, Miss Blan-
ton. Our city is not large enough
yet to furnish quarters for all these
eeople in hotels and rooming houses,
hence il is necessary that the people
of Lubbock make arrangements TO
provide sleeping places at least for
these teachers and other visitors.
Meals can be found at the hotels and
cafes, and private boarding houses,
but the bedding proposition must be
met by the people OF The city IN their
homes These teachers are not seek
ing free entertainment and are Will
ing to pay reasonable price for
beds, but our people should be rea-
sonabe in their charges and We be-
lieve they will be, and that they will
open their homes 70 the teachers and
entertain them royalty.
Lubbock has always done so, and
we do not fear that they viii not do
so again.

SOMETHING THE COUNTY
AGENT DOES DURING WEEK

The following appeared in the
last issue of the Extension Service
Farm News. published at College
Station:
Lubbock county has mad about six
inches of rain this week and did not
do much says County Agent, Carroll
Thompson in reporting TO the Exten-
sion Service, A. and NJ. College Of
Texas. Held twenty-five consulta-
tions with farmers who wished to
treat wheat for smut; assisted five
farmers in locating hands to pick cot
ton by locating fifty negroes in East
Texas and sending special man after
them; held two consultations regard
ing filling silos; located hogs for
farmer and attended to sick hog; as
sisted farmer IN securing place to
rent for next year; assisted several
farmers in selling maize and sudan Z;
assisted club boys in disposing Of
their maize and kafir to best advan-
tage."
Thompson call doing much? II seems
tnat helping twenty-five farmers sa' e
wheat from smut should result in a
saving sufficient TO pay for county
agents services for quite period,
while the introduction Of fifty ne
groes 10 save cotton at present prices
ought to be quite an item. to say
nothing Of saving silage and helping
market maize and sudan.
The editor would really like to read
report from Mr.. Thompson whom
he has done something according TO
his own IDEAS, II he thinks this weeks
work Is mot doing much"
Besides this we happen 10 know
that Carroll Thompson teaches very
successfully a large class Of boys al

tends 70 many minor items that he
has not mentioned IN his report The

which caused he steel strike
"Americanize America" is the slo-
gan which Senator Kenyon and his
associate champions Of the bill have
ADOPTED
Fifty-five per cent Of the foreign
born inhabitants Of the United States
ea1 neither read nor write. The To-
vra senator says this Is conservative

If the illiterate and foreign-horn

odd the senate. should be reviewed
from a stand IN front Of the White
Fouse, marching two abreast and
twenty-five miles a day. il would take

There are misguided men in Am

They are to be pitied. They do not

equivocate. An awakened nation Of
more than 100000. 900 people does
not propose that few hundred thou

overthrow this nation Of hope and
this land Of opportunity
The purpose Of the bill is to con
slider a program of Americanizing IL
literates and those unable to speak,
read or write the English language.
The theory of the bill is the process
% stimulating the states TO adopt
certain compulsory teaching of Eng
lish TO illiterates.
The money appropriated Is appor-
toned among the several states in
provided ration but is not turned over
to any state unless the state provides
for the teaching Of English at least
200 hours year to all residents who
are citizens of the United States be-
tween Is and u years Of age and all
residents Of more than six months
who are aliens between l6 and 45
years Of age.
Because most persons who have
studied economic conditions in con-
junction with the spread Of radical
,sm are convinced that there must be
more Americanization in this coun-
try. il is regarded as certain that the
Kenyon bill will become a law.--The
