WITHOUT FURTHER
COMMENT

Lubbock Avalanche. we notice In
dispatch from Paris, Texas, that
the people Of that section are haul
ing water for their live stock. This
editor before Ne was IL years Of age
had hauled enough water to overflow
the Yellow House Canyon before our
father discovered that there was a
greater and better country in the
West. II sounds peculiar TO tho
younger people who have been raised
on the great South Plains to hear Of
fellow hauling water for any pur-
pose at all. In this great South
Plains section the water question is
The easiest Of all. A well fifty feet
deep with q good windmill will sup
ply all the cattle that an average fell
low would ever have, with clear, cool
sparkling water, and no matter
which way the wind blows, the sup
ply is never reduced. Come 10 the
great South Plains, where you select
the place where you want your well
and drill down TO the everlasting
fountain of water and you are fixed
for the balance Of your natural born
days. Doesn't that sound good to the
fellow who has been hauling water
all of his life several miles to supply
the needs Of the milch cows and the
work team?"
Early geographers used to make
maps which carried the Lubbock To-
Gale under the label Of Great Amer
lean Desert" 1t was supposed to
be no nearer water than hades is 10
a blizzard. How absurd that idea
was may be gagged by the thousands
Of windmills which decorate the Tex
as Plains. Truth TO tell, there Is
yet no great sight of rain in certain
portions Of Texas. but underneath
the surface there is fresh water,
sweet water, swell water. Also there
is good soil, soil TINT responds TO
seeding and cultivation with an en-
thusasm which is youthful in its zest
To live in West Texas. TO dwell plac-
idly under ones own vine and fig
tree and see them watered by a wind
mill which demands no wages and
scorns union hours, is probably an
experience even more delicious than
that Of the poet who, after thinking
about il POLITICALLY, exclaimed, See
Naples and de- What the poet
meant was not that seeing Naples
was fatal, but that seeing Il untitled
person for coarser sights. SO, liv-
ing IN West Texas, pOetically speak
ing, unfits a man for residence in
locality where he has 10 work for
his water-State Press.

The fire marshal has been doing some good
work this week in the matter Of Kidding the town

loss of property Better cut the weeds and rake
them into piles. well away from any building or
