The Lubbock avalanche. (Lubbock, Tex.) 1909-1922, 1921-12-27

We are herewith printing few
accounts Of what is going on in West
Texas in the interest Of the roads
proposition, which proves that West
Texas is not asleep on this matter;
Rotan business men through the
Chamber Of Commerce has taken
steps Co assist in the promotion Of
a railroad from the Plains section 70
Fort Worth and has named the fol-
lowing commmiitec 20 represent that
town nj the West Texas mass meet

The town Of Olton, county seat Of
Lamb County, j also Interested in
the proposed railroad from Fort
Worth 10 the Plains a mass meet
ing Of all citizens in Olton and the
surrounding country has been called
for next FRIDAY night by H. 7. Webb,
president Of the Olton Community
Club, when plans will be made for
Olton's part in helping 20 make the
proposed line a reality.
The citizens Of Olton desire that
the proposed line shall build from
Fort Worth west 10 Plainview through
Olton 10 Clovis, connecting with the
main line Of the Santa Fe from Cali
fornia at that point. The concensus
of opinion in Olton is that the Santa
Fe is the logical company to build the
line.
Need Railway Badly
OltOn has suffered for the lack of
railroad ever since the town was
organized nearly twenty years ago.
Plainview, Tuiia, Lubbock, Floydada,
and other county seat towns Of the
Plains have grown into prosperous
cities as the result of the railroad
connections they now have. Olton
is surrounded by vast and fertile
Plains country capable Of producings
as good crops as can be grown on the
Plains.
Only lack Of an outlet for her
products has kept OltOn from max
ing the same rapid growth as other
Plains towns. Plainview, the near
est railroad center TO Olton, is TWEEN
ty-five miles distant. And the further
fact that Plainview does not have
direct line 70 Fort Worth, the logical
market for products Of the Plains,
makes the cost Of marketing pro-
ducts so great that the farmers have
but little money left after selling.
L. Grain Country
The Often country is wonderfully
adapted TO the production Of small
grains and sorghum crops. Corn and
cotton likewise make splendid yields
at spsll production costs. Truck
and vegetable crops would make big
profits II they could be marketed
promptly. Despite the lack Of rail-
road facilities. farmer in Lamb
County last year made more than
81 900 clear profit on two acres of
epi0ns. The entire county u under
laid by stratum Of pure water,
which Is obtained at a very shallow
depth, This water makes u possible
to lrrigate crops profltably. Climatic
and abundance of feed
would make Lamb County leader
in the production Of hogs and poultry

governor of New Spain, to seek seven
fabulous cities, tales Of whose wealth
had reached Mexico Cityslyias the In
dams. These stories were corroborat-
ed, by one Cabeza de Vaca, who had
been shipwrecked on an island off the
Texas coast and who gaining the
mainland a year later, only to be
seized by l.. Indians, finally escaped
with three companions and, latter
years Of wandering through the wilds
found his way back, to his own people.
On the journey he had heard Of north
ern cities incrusted with turquoise
and paved with gold and silver.
1t was these that Mendoza expected
Fray Marcos to find. Accompanied
by negro who had shared De Vaca's
experiences, and by some friendly
Pima Indians. the brave friar Jour
neyed through Arizona to the Iuni
country. Stories Of the treasure he
might expect to find increased in
promise as he progressed. But sudden
ly, when he thought himself within
easy reach Of the promised land, word
came from ahead that his advance
guard had, been murdered by hostile
Indians. Lacking support, moral or
material, the friar became discouraged
and returned empty handed to Mex

sides insuring a good supply OF nat
ural light and fresh air. 1t is con-
nected with the dining room by an
open doorway. The dining room Is
about the same size as the living
room. 1t is connected with the kitch-
en- at the rear by swinging door
and also opens into a side hall at
the right.
The kitchen is one that will delight
any housewives heart, for it is small
and compact, but ample for every
need. At one corner is a small pam
try, Immediately adjacent is the wash
room which can be used as laundry,
if so desired. The bathroom. modern
in every detail, is located off the hall
which runs from the kitchen to rear
bedroom. OF the main central hall
running along the dining room is an
other large bedroom, 16 by 10 feet
6 inches. All Of the bedrooms, or
which there are three, have excep-
tionally large clothes closets. The
front bedroom, - by 10 feet, of the
front reception hall, also opens out on
, to the sleeping porch, which is 8 feet
6 inches by IS feet. This sleeping
porch has window walls on three sides
and should be an excellent place to
sleep in the warmj sultry summer
months.
A home like this should be the rule,
not the exception, on the farms OF the
country today. Gradually this type
is gaining foothold and we look for
ward to the time when such thing
as propaganda to keep the boys on the
farm will be unnecessary. Home
comforts are being emphasized in both
city and country because the impor-
lance of the home in community life
is recognized. More and better homes
are what the people want and this Is
certainly the case in rural eenters.

1well-meaning people overlook one of
the fundamental causes Of this drift
to the cities. Farm boys would stay
;on the farm if there was not some
thing radically wrong, and if you in
ivestigate the case of the young man
iwho leaves his father and mother to
live in the great crowded city, you
will almost invariably find that condi-
,,tions existing about his home were
such that he could not help but leave.
Very often it is the drudgery which
he was forced to endure because of
antiquated methods in the farm build
; ings, and very frequently it is the
farm home that is directly response
bile. Too often this important factor
in farm life has been neglected, too
often it has been merely a shack or
shelter with little convenience and
comfort. If more farm homes were
built on a modern basis there would
be little need for propaganda, articles
and speeches to exhort the boy to
stay at home. A comfortable home
would be the most powerful attrac-
ton that could be offered. +<-' T.

one of these ancient and remote squares

One of the most typical, perhaps.
Of these squares Is Red Lion square,

The Artists Choice,

In the career Of every artist there
comes supreme moment when he
or she must choose between two serv-
ices-the service Of art or the service
of self. While the artist is actually
studying and qualifying, this choice
is hardly offered; he is all artist
then, because he is learning and try
ing to grasp and achieve a command
of his art; the artist is always a
learner. and the true learner is in
some degree an artist But vita
achievement and mastery come recog-
milton and applause, come oppor-
tunity and power. The artist has be-
come a master, teacher. endowed
with that subtle quality that lays
the world at his bidding, when he
may either make his followers glorify
him or glorify his art. The choice
is between serving his art or making
it serve him. For the artist who re-
mains true there can be no choice;
he must go on serving and learning.

It was shown before the members OF
