Are Lubbock the Place to Locate

When the war between the United
States and Germany broke out, the
people Of Lubbock laid aside their
plans for building and turned their
attention to helping in every way pos
sible to give kaiser bill genuine good
flogging, and they did not fal in
their intentions, as is attested by sew
eral Of our young men who were in
the very front and in the thickest Of
the fight
Now that that job is finished so
far as the fighting is concerned, w
notice that our live wires are get
ting back in line with their building
plans in hand, and are going in for
big year in the way Of improve
ments in the city Of Lubbock
We catch as we float around
through town that several new brick
buildings are being planned now. and
will likely develop into real build
ings within short time. The build
ings in question just now will be sub
stantial additions to the business sec
tion Of the city, and we understand
that each builder has a prospective
tenant for the property. which will
mean. a good investment for them

all over the country as being the

not to, in any way. encourage such
an agency
And resolved further, that We
urge that this u. S. Employment Ser

After the adoption Of the resolu-
tion the question Of where the agen-
cy should be was discussed and Il was
decided that the Chamber Of Com
merce and the office Of the County
Agricultural Agent. whose offices are
adjoining in the court house would
be the most suitable place and upon
motion il was decided to name these
offices as the place where the records
will be kept and those desiring help
can 90 there and find what they have
registered and may likewise leave in
formation with the agency as to the
Kind of help shey want and the agen-
cy will try TO get line on the prop

confidence that people have in the

country, that is keeping the fire Of
progress boosted up and will make a
substantial city. The possibilities Of
this country from an agricultural
standpoint are beyond human calcu-
