The county is paying for the posts
and cable and all the material used in
the construction Of the line around
the square and the city is furnishing
the labor and will also furnish the
current. The remaining forty-one
poles will be placed in front Of the
business house, churches, etc, who
bought the poles and paid for them
when they were delivered here sever
81 months ago, which will improve
the lighting system Of the city very
much, and the lights are badly needed
everywhere they will be placed.
City Manager Ruby, informed the
editor Of this paper that they had
just received and unloaded car Of
forty foot poles and large quantity
of wire, which material will be used
for the immediate construction Of
extension lines into new territory,
which will enable many people who
are anxious to get tied on to the city
plant to do so. II will Of course take
several weeks for this work to be
completed, but they are going right
along with II as rapidly as possible.
The current will be cut into the
line around the courthouse some time
next week The light plant has been
added too to considerable extent the
past few months and will be equal to
every occasion, and regardless Of
statements to the contrary, II is not
only self sustaining, but is paying a
neat dividend, according to the man
ayers report to US.

FEED INSPECTOR VISIT.
ED LUBBOCK THURSDAY

Some Texas cotton oil mills, parti-
cularly q portion Of those located in
south Texas, have made an attempt
to weaken the Texas feed law through
an act Of the Legislature, according to
Ed r. Talmage. inspector for the
Feed Control Service Of Texas, who
was here Thursday.
Texas mas higher standard fog
cottonseed cake and meal than any
other state, or that adopted by the
United States. The reason for this
lies in the fact that Texas seed are
Just naturally richer in protein than
are those Of other states The Unit
ed States government, in order to do
justice to all, fixed the standard on
the basis Of that Of the lowest, North
Carolina, the seed Of which yields on
y 36 per cent protein. In 1907,
when the Texas feed law was enact
ed, the Feed Control Service fixed
the standards not less than 90 per
cent protein. price which is 45 or bet.
ter and choice which is 80 or better
Designations for cottonseed products
below these grades are cottonseed
feed Nos. 4, and s, respectively,
containing 4l.20, 3s5 and 36 per
cent protein. Anything below these
is designated as meal and hulls
"Oil mills have objected to these
designations for the lower grades
contending that they should all be
designated az cake or meal and that
10 call them cottonsecd feeds is harm
ful to their interests Hence they
have long sought new designation,
and last fall, at meeting at which
prices and regulations governing the
lt9iS-l9 crush were made, they
sought TO have new designations fix
ed, but the representatives Of the
Cattle Raisers association, who were
present. objected. as did the Feed
Control Service Not content to let
the matter rest. these mills which are
leading in the campaign for lower
standards. sent out circular letters to
the mills urging that no cake or meal
be sold TO Texas buyers. notwith-
standing We we're at war and the IN
ted States was urging cattlemen 70
produce all the meat possible, to do
which they must have feed. and also
in the face Of the fact that large
areas Of the southwest suffered from
droufh and feed and pasturage were
short. leading to much reliance on
the products Of the oil mills The re-
sponse 20 this effort at boycott ap-
pear to have been nothing. so they
went to he legislature and sought 10
amend the feed law by inserting
clause that would have lowered the
Texas standard to that Of the United
States, or North Carolina The bills
AT last reports, had not passed
"As a matter Of fact the mills have
been reducing the quality % cake
and meal steadily ever since the feed
law was passed. the average for tho
present season being but little over
43 per cent. whereas in 1907 il was

Lots of Athletics
On the Programme
For Boys Abroad

PARIS, Jan. 8.-An extensive organ
lied effort will be made to develop ath-
letics in the American expeditfonary
force during the next few months.
Through the organized direction of en-
tertainments, also, it will be aimed to
bring out and develop the entertaining
talent the army affords.
The efforts in both these directions
will have the active cooperation of the
Y. M. c. A., the Knights Of Columbus,
the Salvation Army and the other well
fare organizations, with authority from
General Pershing.
Competitive sports as we'll as purely
athletic exercises will be arranged in
each division and corps. Official cham
pionships will be contested under rules
to be adopted later in these sports:
Track and field events, baseball, foot
ball, basketball, tennis, boxing and
wrestling.
Beginning with each company as the
smallest unit, there will be elimination
contests in the organizations all the
way up to army corps. The company
winners will compete in battalion
events and battalion winners in regi-
mental contests. When the winners
in each army corps are decided there
will be final contests for the athletic
championships of the American expe-
dictionary forces, in which only the
winners of divisional championships
will be eligible.

The match was made at catchweights,
as you know, after Leonard had re-
fused to make 1873 pounds ringside
Dundee usually fights at about 1870
pounds, which means that he will be
giving away a lot of avoirdupois in

has been such fuss raised about this
that Leonard, Dundee, Gibson, Mon
tieth and the club have all filled the

that everything Is on the "up and up"

agree that Leonard will not weigh more
