tween the Louisiana state line, and

comprising the line between Temple
and Lubbock. through Brownwood,
Buffalo Gap, Snyder and Sweetwat-
er The value Of the highway, he said
need hardly be commented upon. II

routes in the Union, because of the
fact that at either end was located
two resorts, one a winter resort, and
the other a summer resort. and. apart
from the value Of the highway to
those living along the route. in view

Following report Of the meeting Of

and shows that Lubbock is on this
new and important route:
Probably due TO the excessive rains
Of Sunday night, and In a great meas
ure owing to the fact that every ounce
Of energy is being directed TO the saw
ing Of the great grain crop the attend
ance at the convention for the or
eanzation Of the highway between
Florida and Colorado fell far short
of what was anticipated, and when
the convention assembled in the Pc
troleum Club room only about one
hundred responded to the roll call Of
counties along the proposed route
Trains were very late arriving, the
Santa Fe being three hours behind it's
schedule, and the meeting was not
called to order until 100 o'clock
However, whatever was lacking in
numbers was more than made up for
in the spirit Of enthusiasm and real
cooperation that manifested itself at
the start Of the proceedings, and was
steadily maintained throughout
There was not the slightest friction
from beginning to end of the meet
ing. and everything moved with the
precision and unanimity Of well
oiled machine. Numbers in attend
ance who have been associated with
the organization of other highways
expressed themselves as highly pleas
ed with the spirit manifested, and
prophesied a wonderful measure Of
success for the organization.
The secretary OF the Chamber Of
Commerce called the meeting to or

a welcome to the delegates, express

them for other national crises. Most of
the workmen own their homes. and from
those homes went forth the skilled
workmen to the cartridge factories that
sprang up all over the land in 1917 and
1918. They carried with them the knowl-
edge and skill which they had learned
from their forefathers in this oldfash-
toned institution.
The question came up in the Senate
as to whether that industry should
be broken up because there is no
prospect of an immediate shortage of
cartridges in the Army.

ed perfectly as those same Germans
found when under their fire. Back in
the works where the recuperators
were made in France there was a
band of men. some old. some middle
aged and some in the prime of youth,
who had created a French institution.
These skilled workmen were of too
much military value to the republic
in it's hour of trial to be taken into
the army. 1t was their work that
made the guns the French supplied
to the Americans. Bearded, and many
of them specialized they toiled under
the strain Of war and made full con-
tribution to victory.
The maintenance of this organiza-
ton was of prime Importance to
France. The workmen at the Frank
ford arsenal rendered service to the
United States. They may not be need
ed for many years: neither may the
infantry. the cavalry or the artillery:
but when if ever the time comes the
country does need their trained me-
chanical skill. the loss, If they are
not here, will be irreparable.
