NOBODY CLAIMED THE
TWO MULE TEAM

Miss Josie Lippit. up north Of Ros-
well was in town last week proving
up her claim. Miss Josie will be re-
membered as the homesteader whose
claim in addition to much good gram
ma grass also gave her span Of val
liable mules. II was this way: Miss
Lippit was working in the laundry in
town and had been away from her
claim several weeks; one day she went
out home. was delayed on the road
and only reached her cabin after
dark. She went in and soon retired
for the night. Later after q sound
sleep she was awakened by a feeling
that the houes was in motion, and
looking out she discovered that her
house was on rollers and was being
whisked away by a span Of big mules
spurred on by driver; she made an
outcry, the driver fled leaving his
mules. and tho she advertised and
did her best to learn who owned the
mules, she could not. so they became
hers by right of possession and dis
covery and some one who attempted
to steal her claim house. failed-Ros-

The interscholastic meet which was
held here last Friday and Saturday
was a great success in every way
except to provide places for them to

sufficient to handle these large
crowds, hence it is necessary for the
homes of the town to be thrown open

had charge of the entertainment Of
the young people who came here for
the league experienced much diff

visitors to sleep. Meals can be Sc

trally located therefor the logical

as the head Of a number of district

Lubbock We boost Lubbock-we
are sincere in what we say about her
future-her possible greatness But
Lubbock people are going to have
to wake up to a few facts that if they
continue to overlook will finally re-
suit in a black eye to her reputation
as entertainers. On numbers Of oc-
casions in the past various large dele
cations have been invited by pro-
gressive people-people who have
felt pride in the city and in the or
ganizations they represent. to meet
in Lubbock. These delegations have
been that kind that are supposed to
be guests entertained at the expense
of the people of the town, and in
many instances it has been exceed
ingly difficult for the entertainment
and homes committees TO secure
homes for the delegates--in the
homes of the people. Lubbock peo-
pie we find are prone to want to
evade the entertainment Of guests of
this kind in their home. They are
willing to pay for their entertain
ment az a hotel or boarding house,
but are not willing for them to come
into the home and enjoy the fellow
ship of the family. OF course we
know that there are instances where
this cannot be helped, but for the
general reputation of the town we
believe that the people are entirely
too selfish with their hospitality
selfishness is sinful. wicked. ruinous

where this has been practiced are not
