MUCH IN A FARM NAME.

Did you ever see rundown farm
with an attractive name? Do you
know Of any farmers who have
thought enough of their farms TO
name them and then impoverish the
soil and leave the farmstead with
out trees. shrubs, plants and an at
tractive setting?
There may be such examples, but
II is safe to say that they are few and
unimportant, so far as arguing that
naming the farm is not worth while.
But there are many examples OF
beautiful, comfortable homes, fer
tile soil, purebred animals, standard
bred poultry, and most of all, ambi-
tious and successful young people,
living on farms with names.
The name often has much TO do
with the pride, the ambition and the
contentment of young people on the
farm. They generally find oppor-
tunity on such farm equal 10 or bet
ter than wages or salary in the city.
But there is an additional reason for
giving the farm an appropriate name.
That is a business reason. Success

STEALING AND MURDER

Two negroes at Lubbock in the cot
ton fields last fall had an alteration
and one killed the other. They were
East Texas negroes. The jury which
heard The trial last week imposed n
sentence Of five years m the pcniten-
tiary. But, hold your question. The
usual suspended sentence was tackled
onto the verdict.-Canadian Record
Two boys stole automobiles and
were given penitentiary sentences
with no suspended sentence Anoth-
or boy stole saddle and went right
straight to the penitentiary. Anoth-
er boy stole a calf and was rushed of
TO the pen. Several men have been
killed in Lubbock county within the
past few years. Most Of the accused
have been found guilty and nearly
everyone have been given suspend
ed sentence. That's the difference
between stealing and murder in the
courts Of the land today. This is ma
only true in Lubbock county, but all
over the State The suspended SEN
tence law may be alright in few
we will admit many, but II is GER
tainly abused, and many men are
loose today that should be paying
the penalty of confinement.

LUBBOCK is AS LARGE AS SHE
CAN BE

This is the true situation with
Lubbock Just now. She is as large
as she can be until some more resi-
dence houses are built. Everything
is full. Not a vacant house in the
city that is fit TO live in and many
people are living in houses that are
hardy fit to make home in. What
IL to be done7 People are wanting
to come to Lubbock, but they cannot
find n place TO live. This is mat
ter that should have the attention of
the leaders in town building II is a
matter that means as much for the
future of the city, as any one thing
confronting the future development
Of the city at the present time, yet II
there is anything being done to re-
lieve the situation we are not aware
of il. Lubbock needs hundred or
more good tenant houses. Not the
little poorly built kind that many
people think about when tenant hous-
es are mentioned. but the kind that
people can live in and have accom-
mediation, and live comfortably.
Many travelling statesmen would make
Lubbock their headquarters il they
could get suitable houses in which to
place their families, and they are
class of people who want real nice
comfortable buildings with pleasant
surroundings. They are willing to
pay reasonable rental, and would
make investments profitable to peo-
pie who will build such houses.
We are of the opinion that the man
with surplus money could make good
returns from it by putting il into
buildings of this kind.
Build more houses The people
want to come to Lubbock

WHAT DO WITH THE NEGROES?

This is question that now con
fronts Lubbock. For many years no
negroes were allowed to come here,
but the home-help proposition got to
a point where il seemed that this was
the only solution, and now the town
is full of negroes--all kinds. Some
are working for private families and
live in the servant house furnished
by the employer Others are here
and work here and there at first
one job and another and have TO have
some place TO live and as result
they rent shacks and are living all
over the city, next door neighbor to
white folks, and this is not at all
agreeable TO many people, besides il
is detrimental 10 the sale of property
in neighborhoods where this condi-
ton exists. And, further more where
there is a vacant house, owned by
someone who does not have any re

ity, may rent il TO colored folks.

your house or mine, and we are fore
ed to live there side by side with
probably noisy dirty family of ne
groes
In all probability the time has
come when our city must designate a
certain portion of the city for these
people TO build their home and live,
separate and apart from the balance
Of us. We do not know whose duty
il is to do this, and we do not know
whether this is the best solution, but
there is going to be trouble If the
present conditions continues. People
are not going to stand for negro
neighbors, and If there is not regula-
tons made by the proper authorities,
there is liable to be regulations Of a
private nature, which should be
avoided if possible. And further, II
the negro is going to stay here they

which they can demand and will de
