IMPROVEMENTS TO BE MADE
ON LITTLEFIELDr ROAD

Wednesday, morning Of last weei
the County Commissioners Of Lub-
book county, met the commissioners
of Lamb county, on the Lamb county
line. for discussion and an agree
ment upon the lettering Of road con
ditions effecting both counties IL
was agreed by the commissioners Of
Lubbock county, that about eight
miles Of road, between Shallowater
and the Lamb county line, would be
put in fine shape The work Of grad
ing and marking viii be started IN a
short time and probably finished
within ten days or more from the
time of commencement In turn, the
Lamb County commissioners, will put
the road from their county fine in a
like shape.
THAT all roads might lead to Lub-
book" seems TO BE- the real object IN
view of our commissioners. OF course
il would of necessity be blessing the
country people deserve. But in eff
feet, il Is more Of a financial invest
ment for the citizens Of our town.
By the building and promotion Of
good or better roads from this fine
territory northwest Of Lubbock, not
only does it mean the turn in tide of
trade that has for some time gone to
other places, but securing hold up
on the general trade and travel of
that country, so that in future years,
surely not very distant, when those
fertile pastures, thousands upon thou
sands Of acres are opened up for set
Element. and when homes have been
made. tina. naturally their point Of
trade and travel will be to our city.
We believe the promotion Of good
roads into this territory is as much
good for our city, As that which has
been and is being maintained for
towns and counties south. The com
missioners think that not more than

Again the girl remained silent some

not to tell HelGa anything.
Il didn't know the way was open,"

The tall, raw-boned woman was either
a very clever actress or else she mlsun-

her laugh that followed James remark
was harsh and almost brutal. The next
instant she was listening intently, and
with a quick movement she turned and
opened the door leading into the hall.
A mans voice reached James ears,
voice that was strangely familiar, though
for the moment she could not place
where she had heard it before. It's effect
on the woman was peculiar, for surprise,
almost establishment. showed in her eyes,
and turning, she hurried from the room,
closing the door softly behind her.
Jane waited until she thought the
other would be out of hearing, then rose
from her chair and crossing the room
with noiseless steps, peered out into the
\ hall. Again she found it deserted. but
from the lower floor the mans voice
speaking in high, excited tones, reached

No. So
FOR long silence Jane looked into the
heavy features of the other woman.
"you gave me the money when you
thought | was going to escape?' she re-
peated, sparing for time and trying to
collect her thoughts. why did you do
that?"
The woman laughed harshly. Don't

claimed. II left you down in the dining
room alone. got the butler out of the

stayed. She laughed again, with touch
of a sneer on her lips.

should want me to escape. l don't know
why 1 was brought to this house! 1

"Fiddlesticks," Helga returned. What s

money back. maybe the next one tha,

held out her hand, waiting.
For wild moment Jane thought OF re-
fusing, but the next instance the fool
ishness of the course made her reach for
her hair and search among it's folds Tor
the little wad of paper.
Jane was sure of only one thing, ana

promised to take her back to New YORK.

wanted to escape, but the chauffeur

Passing the roll of bills into the other s

For an instant a look of fear passed
across the woman's face and her att1-

the money, looking down at it absently.
II suppose you'll tell him about this"
she said at last, her voice husky and
strained Are you going to tell him about

James eyes.
Curiously enough their positions had
become reversed. Here was the woman.

THE INSECT WORLD.
BY II. ADDINGTON BRUCE.
iConyright 1871

II you send the children to the
country this summer let them take
along Floyd BralIiar's' knowing In
sects Through Stories" If you go to
the country yourself be sure to take
this book with you. The children will
enjoy it, and so will you.
Floyd Brazilian is a really learned
writer. But learning has not dim
med the memory of his boyhood. Nor
has il robbed him OF the power 10
write humanity.
He knows insects as thoroughly as
every good naturalist is expected to
know them. He knows them by their
common. everyday names and by
10 classify them scientifically, and
he teaches his readers how to clas-
sify them.
But. what is more important he
sees insects as his fellow creatures
In this great. complex universe of
ours. They are not specimens TO be
stuck through with pins and mount
ed on cardboard.
No. To Floyd Brazilian they still
are the little people of earth and
air and water that they were in his
boyhood days-as in your boyhood
and mine. Joyously he recalls:
As | became acquainted with these
folk my interest in fairies died, for
here were people just as wise, who
did fully as many wonderful things.
and the best of it was that they
would do them right before my very
eyes if l would take the trouble to
look
Il am sure the reader can find these
came people living all around him.
And il he wants to see real battle.
or Just a single combat between two
knights. if he wants to see one OBJ
Iect turn into another as completely
IS by d fairy's wand, or If he merely
wants to see prettier acting than
80" dore on d stage or in a
circus ring all he need to do is to go
out of doors and get acquainted with
his nearest neighborS."
That to look for In the insect
world and how to find it. how to
know the insects when found. their
marvellous powers of instinct their
friendships and their enmities their
virtues and their failings. these are
he things of which Mr.. Brazilian tells,
all in the most human sort of way.
He takes his older readers back to
i-randfather's farm. back to the old
creek where they used to play, back
quiet green places where they loi-
tered in the long ago.
In younger readers he enkindles a
love of nature sure TO mean much in
I'll their later lives. And to older and
.uungcr alike he gives keen vision
or the wonders Of the great pano-
lama of the world of tiny things that
creep and fly.
Don't forget his book when you are
choosing your reading matter for this
summer. You will find il more fasci-
nating-and surely more worth while
than most of the summer novels
go. clamoring for your attention.

NO DOPE IN PLACE OF
LIQUOR, SAYS OFFICIAL
Pharmacy Inspector Declares Use
of Drugs Has Decreased in
Washington.

Pharmacy Inspector Sanders. who
deals with violations of the law
against the sale Of narcotics. said he
does not anticipate that enforcement
of the prohibition law will mean an
increase in the number Of persons who
use dope" Men who have been in
the habit of taking an occasional
drink will not resort to the use of
drugs as a substitute. he said.
Those who use whisky know the
harmful effects of dope" he stated,
and he can see no reason for believ-
ing they will resort to the use of
opiates when they no longer are able
TO get liquor.
He further denied a printed state
ment that there is an appalling num-
Der of dope users in this city. There
has been a decided decrease in the
number, he stated.

Taken From Train and Shot.

Day by day comes the news of in
creasing violence on the part of those
who are in power. The latest in
stances have to do with Ludwig
Navy. former president of the Hun
garian parliament. He was seized
at his country home. and while being
taken into Budapest was taken from
the train and shot to death by the
red guard. who gave as an excuse
that he was trying to escape.
Altogether the situation in Buda-
pest is rapidly approaching the point
where there will be the customary
appeal to the great big-hearted

pie Security Of life and property is
growing less with every week. and
the once magnificent city is rapidly

Not so Per Cent of Soil Plowed.

Neglect of agriculture is one Of the
outstanding features of the situation.
1t is estimated that so per cent Of the
tillable soil has not been plowed.
partly due to the disorganization and
decentralization occasioned by an order
of the soviet which forced landowners
to raise the wages of farm laborers
from crowns to 80 crowns per day,
and also to give them butter and milk
without any charge and to see that
they were properly clothed.
The appeal to the United States for
help is expected to come chiefly from
the people who have done nothing to
work what few fields are now under
cultivation and who never had many
clothes or felt the need for them.
