OLD WATCH GAME SELLS
MANY LUBBOCK PEOPLE

Quite number Of our people fell
for the watch and razor man, who
sold $500 razors and four dollar
watches at the northeast corner Of
the Square, the latter part Of last
week. II was amusing 10 see how
easily some people will fall for the
street fakir. The way they bought
watches CD razors % etc, remind
ed us Of an old verse which runs as
follows:
"As a rule a mans a fool,
When its hot he wants IL cool;
When it's cool he wants il hot,
Never pleased with what he's got. T"
We are not going to divulge the
names Of those who bought razors
and watches. ii would only add to
their discomfort, vet we cannot help
but think they will be wiser the next
time a street fakir invades our city.
Moral. Patronize reliable home
firms. If you want value for good
money.

THE LATEST FAD IN
FASHIONABLE SOCIETY

The latest fad in society is the
tub-cure. In this the patient arises
Just as the crisp air Of the morning
is mellowed by the first sunbeam. An
ordinary washtub is then filled with
hot water and soap suds, into which
various articles Of linen are thrown.
After they are thoroughly saturated
the patient takes them up one at a
time and rubs them briskly up and
down on washboard placed in the
tub. This is kept up until the hands,
arms and face are a glowing pink.
The patient then goes into the open
air and hangs all the linen articles
on the line stretched for that purpose.
The one completing the task first
announces the time to others over the
telephone, and is entitled to a prize.
II is exciting sport and also invig-
Grating exercise.

Secretary Of Agriculture Wallace
pointed out that less than half the
national area is in farms But, he
sair, there is not an unlimited sup
ply Of farm lands, so many assume.
Most Of the billion acres not yet util-
ized can not be cultivated, ne explain

"The situation presents a national
problem Of how best to use drain

inferior quality which heretofore,
have been regarded as unsuitable"

iment Of Agriculture, which pointed
out that the increase in the area Of
farm lands had not been commen-
