BUSINESS CONDITIONS IMPROVING
mall lines OF LUBBOCK BUSINESS
THE FARMERS ARE FINDING MARKET FOR ALL THElF
COTTON AND BYPRODUCTs
WEATHER IS,IDEAL FOR GATHERING CROPS
The Yield of All South Plains Crops Entirely Satisfactory ana
Harvesting I In Full Svine-Cotton Averaging Between
Third and a Half Bale to the Acre

The weather continues fair and
warm and cotton is coming in at a
steady stream. Every gin in the en-
tire South Plain section Is running
both day and night. There IS an
abundance Of pickers reported from
all over the entire section, and an ay-
erage OF one hundred per day con-
tinues TO arrive in this city from Cen
trail and South Texas.
There has not been one bad day
since the cotton season opened up.
The continued warm, clear weather,
assisted by good, steady winds from
the south, has opened the cotton field
in a way that passes all former rec
ords Many crops are being gather-
ed with one picking. A light frost
the last nights Of September dried the
stalks enough 20 practically clear
them Of leaves, but not enough TO
damage the grade Of the cotton. The
result is a clean sample, easy 70 pick,
and a quicker ginner.
The seed are reported TO be OF
high grade, firm, mature and heavy.
The lint turnout is running above the
average, but the staple is reported 20
be generally a little shorter than the
average for previous years. The
price ranges around rs cents paid on
The street from day 20 day. Cotton
seed prices range from S26 90 $50.
The yield throughout the section y
averaging fully 20 per cent above all
estimates az opening OF picking sea
son-the present average beng esti-
mated al from one-third 90 one-half
bale per acre, depending upon the
section. One-third of a bale is pos
mhly a good average for the four or
five cotton counties Of the South
Plains section.
Business conditions show a decided
Improvement with the steady move
nent Of cotton. The banks loans
and discounts are declining, and de-
posts increasing. The most effective
relief, however, IS the looscning OF
the general situation through the pay
ncnt II the many small outstanding
lumber, implement sand such minor
accounts that put more money into
circulation throughout the conmun-
iiy in such a way that 81 is paying
$40 worth Of obligations before Il
finds its way back into the account
~ any one man for anything Ike a
definite stay.
All retail merchants report steady
sales of better grade merchandise.
The sales in one of the larger dry
goods stores totaled more than 81 goo
more for the first IS days Of Octo-
her than the entire sales for the
month of October last year.
To sum up the situation; Cotton Is
moving in ideal shape, business is inn
proving, but there is no need for adj
ditional help.

In an address before the Rotary
Club Wednesday noon, Judge p. r..
Brown spoke Of the roads in Lub-
book, and gave The club some val
liable information regarding the roads
and their condition and the amount
Of money expended in each precinct.
He states that the county during the
past twelve months had spent about
$4,000 on the public roads in the
county OF about three thousand dol
lars TO the precinct. He stated that
there had been about seventy miles
Of new road opened up in the coun-
~ during that time. He stated that
the difference in the condition Of the
roads was very noticeable, which was
mostly due 10 the nature Of the soil
and the different circumstances that
was peculiar 90 each precinct. He
stated that Mr.. Wheeler had been
able 60 put most Of his roads in good
condition with the expenditure OF
about $4,000. On the other hand he
referred 10 the road between Lub-
book and Slaton, and stated that Il
was about as bad a road as we had
in the county, and it should be the
best as there is much more travel
over il. He did not blame the Com
missioner for il. and explained that
all the money assigned that precinct
for road work had been used on the
hill on the Canyon near Slaton, and
expressed the opinion that this was
about as bad place as could be found
on the Canyon 20 put a road and did
not believe that IL ever would be
made a good road without the ex-
penditure OF a tremendous amount
Of money yet, and while he did not
say so, the general tone Of his ad-

the earthly career Of our friend and
brother.
he was So years, II months and
6 days old at the time Of his death.
The remains were inferred in the
Rails cemetery today friday. The
funeral services were held AT the fam
lis home. At IL o'clock sharp all
business ceased-every store was
closed. and the gins shut down. At
/ o'clock n long line Of school chill
dren entered our streets. marching
through the main business section
and turning west at the Guaranty
State Bank 10 the Rails home. These
were followed closely by a long pro-
cession Of Odd Fellows and Masons,
who went for the purpose Of confer
ring the last honor on their diseased
brother. On coming near the home
the procession was cut asunder, the
line on the left going in at a gate on
the left, and those on the right going
in at a gate on the right. The cars
which had taken another route were
parked up and down every adjoining
street. More than 1900 people were
present; the yard was packed and
many were unable to gain entrance.
Perhaps never before in the history
Of West Texas has such great
crowd been present at a funeral.
John X. Rails was universally loved
and respected by all who knew him,
and in his death not only our town
has sustained an irreparable loss, but
this entire section Of Texas will feel
the loss Of a sustaining and guiding
hand.

COUNTY JUDGE BROWN FAVORS
ISSUANCE OF BONDS TO IMPROVE.
HIGHWAYS IN LUBBOCK COUNTY

dress on this subject was that II was
also useless as Slaton had a good
road North across the canyon also
east, and that this money might be
better spent on other roads, where
more people would be served.
At this point Judge Brown voiced
the sentiment Of the club in the state
ment that il would take a great deal
more money 10 keep the roads up
than the taxes from the source from
which il comes now, would amount
to, and the only solution to this
question was to issue road bonds and
fix the roads right, which would be
cheaper in the long run. Surfaced
roads are the only remedy for the
roads in this county, according TO
Judge Browns opinion, and 70 do
this il will take a lot Of money, and
the bond route is the cheapest and
the best plan.
Judge Brown stated further that
counties to the East Of us and all
along the main highways are voting
bonds and improving their roads and
Lubbock should get busy and do
something along this line at once.
When we vote bonds we get our por-
ton Of road tax money which the
state gives, as well as getting a fed
eral aid also, which would mean a
great deal TO this county toward fl
nancing the road question.
Lubbock county has come 10 the
point where IL Wi be necessary to
spend lot Of money on the roads
IL we would have them anything like
as good as other counties and the
sooner we get at il in the proper
way, the less we will waste in patch
work

Friends Gather
Neighbor' S Cotton
Without Charge

Come 10 Lubbock For twenty
one years with scarcely a miss each
issue Of the Avalanche has bid you
TO do this. Many fine things have
been told you about the opportuni-
ties Of the Lubbock country-the
town and the entire section. OF
the prosperity and health that awaits
you, Of the noble people who will be
your neighbors when you come. Here
is what a typical community Of the
South Plains believe is 'neighborly." /"
Mrs. G. T. Crawford, wife Of C. T..
Crawford, a farmer Of the Canyon
community, was taken seriously III
a few days ago. A serious operation
was necessary. She was brought TO
local sanitarium and her condition
was so serious that her husband re-
manned by her bedside.
During the days when il was hard
TO determine whether his wife would
survive OF not he still remained and
il was not until a day OF two ago
that her condition became better and
the period Of danger passed.
In the meantime Mr.. Crawford had
a field Of cotton-white and growing
whittier each day. No one was there
TO pick il however. and the loss that
might ensue from a result of delay in
gathering, on top Of going through
the year, suffering the same depres-
sed condition as others, would be al
most a disastrous one.
But last Tuesday morning his
neighbors Of the Canyon community
forsook their own fields Of cotton
and in that one day gathered four
bales for Mr.. Crawford They we're
ready for the gin and for sale when
Mr.. Crawford went to his farm the
latter part Of the week.
That's not an extraordinary exper-
ience in West Texas and in the Lab
book country, but Il is always a great
that helps to tie
you soul and body 20 the greatest
section Of country in the world.
Come TO Lubbock.

II has long time been known

High School assembled Miss Evelyn
Reed, Of San Jose, California pre-
scnted herself for enrolment in the
Lubbock school and Miss Stella Seitz
