hell: The auto was upon him before he
had time to get up, and passed over
his head, inflicting painful and.severe
injuries to his face The machine was
driven by Mrs. Charles Lindmeyer,
but no blame for the accident attaches
to her, as the boy would easily have
cleared the path of the auto, had he

IT'S THE SPIRIT OF THE WEST

The spirit of West Texas is alive. Drouths.
financial depression. poor markets and the like
halt West Texas and the Panhandle. but these
sections came back with the resistance of rubber
ball 1t is the domtable spirit of the West that at
once commands the admiration Of the rest Of the
country and FORCES these sections ahead.
The news of the day it comes from these
sections tells its own story of progress and pros
perity. The South Plains Fair at Lubbock so
successful the management extended it another
day More than 500 persons from Plainview at
tended the fair in automobiles to return Lubbock $
visit to the Planview fair recently held. Delegates
from counties along the proposed Puget Sound-to-
the-Gulf Highway met in Lubbock, to select the
OF the highway and discuss the plans for the
building Of the road. Callahan County asks for
State aid for thrty-five Of its schools that each
may have a seven months term. Hood County
holds a successful two-day fair at Cranbury Gaines
Countys fair at Seagraves likewise successful
Jacksboro votes bonds for a sewerage system and
wstervorks and ua is voting the pro-
positions And so it goes
Every day the dispatches tell similar stor-
les from different counties. Progress is abroad
in the vast region to the West and Northwest of
Fort Worth and the towns in that section are
growing and developing under conditions that
would seem the less courageous and resourceful to
hesitate.-Star- Teegram

Il was only Yesterday that the manymillon-
acred empire which is Northwest Texas was con-
sidered the fit nhabitat OF prairie dogs co"
puncbers and grazing cattle Today thSt section
Z recognized as granary of the great Southwest.
and gives promise of becoming in another decade
or so the most important and most productive
agricultural region of Texas.
AS proof of it, late report on county agri-
cultural statistics by the Bureau OF the Census re-
veals a marked increase in farming acreage and
farming operations in the Panhandle and Plains
counties. While the report yet is partial, Gov
er;nv only few of the many counties in that
section, il may be considered fair indication OF
what has happened the upper Plains in the last
ten years. 1t shows that the number OF farms in
Lubbock County has increased by 365 per cent;
in Crosby County by PA per cent; in Floyd
County by 4 per cent. King County alone show
ing decrease. The partial record is significant
in view of the fact reports on the older farming
counties Of Texas have revealed. the whole.
falling off. rather than gain in acreage and
operations.
Add to this story of progress another story OF
local origin 1t is reported that the Plains region
will far outnumber all other sections OF exas
with county exhibits in the Agricultural Building
at the State Fair this year Sixteen OF the North
western counties are already entered exhibitors.
And it is worthy of remark that these Northwest
ern counties have been making themselves nota-
BILE, numerically and otherwise, with county ex-
hbits at the fair within recent years.
All Of this that the pillow is revolutioniz-
ing, enriching and developing a vast section OF
Texas that is capable of affording ample room
and ampler sustenance for population thous-
and times greater than it claim at present II
means that what may be termed the pioneer pro-
ducers of the Plains are awake and alert and are
bent upon impressing the outer, and until re-
Gently incredulous world of the productive posi-
bilities OF their great country. The Journal Joins
the State Fair in helping them along The Plains
country NAV not come fully into its own for a
quarter of a century. But it is moving toward its
high destiny now. moving steadily Persstenty
and surely And the pillow. the modern pillow, will
be its implement of fulfillment-Dallas Journal.

SOME ITEMS FROM
THE RAILS BANNER

J. c. Holt, who handles the me-
chanical end Of the Lubbock Avail
anche advertising department in such
an efficient and artistic manner, and
John PrObst. one Of the capable limo
type operators on the same paper,
we're here from Lubbock Sunday and
were appreciated callers at the Ban
ner office
II is estimated that there was Sl0,-
900 worth Of cotton sold in Rails last
Saturday. A few more Saturdays
like that one viii 60 a long way to-
ward placing our people on the road
that leads 20 Easy street.
The electric light and ice plant
propositions are still hanging fire. At
a meeting held At the Crystal Thea
tire last Thursday morning the pro-
moters agreed that II Rails people
would take $4,000 in stock they
would establish these enterprises in
our town, whereupon John r. Rails,
with his usual liberal and progressive
spirit, proposed 20 take $4,000 Of this
stock and furnish sites for the build
ings IL the remainder Of our people
would take the other IS, 900. The
task Of raising this money was placed
in the hands Of a committee consist
ing Of Jno. d. Bird, Ed McLaugh-
Nm, r. l.. Travis. Jno. r. Rails and c.
Z. Dean. These gentlemen are now
at work among our people and we
feel that we will be able 20 state that
the proposition has been put over in
next weeks paper, for surely we will
not allow such important enterprises

sEMI-wEEKLY AFTER NOVEMBER l.t

After the first Of November. or in fact begin
ming with the first issue in November the Avalan-
che will be changed from a weekly to twice 2
week This change is made because we believe
that Lubbock has reached that stage, where such
a publication is necessary. The business people
who patronze this paper have grown to a point
where they desire to get their messages to the
people more frequent and the semi weekly route
will furnish the service. for while longer. till
the city grows a little and the country sur
rounding will settle up. and the mail routes will
increase and become frequent and daily
will be profitable and necessary in this field but,
Just at this time the Avalanche does not feel there
is business enough here to justify the publication
of daily paper The merchants bear out in
this belief and do not feel that they able to
support a daily paper but quite enthusiastic
about the semi-weeky proposition and will use
it as an advertising medium through which to
further promote their business interests. The
Avalanche is keeping its eyes on the field and its
pulse on the business interests Of the city. and
when those who support the paper indicate their
desire for a daily paper the Avalanche is rearing
TO GO When Lubbock has better newspaper SER
vice the Avalanche will furnish it.

MORE COUNTY FAIRS NEXT YEAR

Reports from the county fairs held throughout
West Texas and the Panhandle during the past
month show these fairs have been more largely at
tended than ever before The number Of exhibits
shown and their quality likewise is said to have
been better than ever More counties in that vast
territory held fairs this year than ever. and re-
ports from others indicate that the number Of fairs
next year will be still greater.
All of which will mean much for the agricul-
tural and livestock development OF that great en-
pire. Nothing promotes agricultural development
and livestock raising like the county fair and the
value to the State of its success can hardly be
computed in dollars and cents
West Texas. the Plains Country and the Pan
handle region fast coming into their own AL
ready they are the granary OF the State and value
of their crops is increasing enormously every year.
There is no limit to their agricultural and livestock
resources. and in the development OF these the
county fairs will be found to have played a lead
ing part.---Star- telegram.

Today would not be soon to begin the
selling of additional stock in the Panhandle South
Plains Far Association to enlarge the buildings

which is necessary to take OF the rapidly grow
ing fair at this place 1t is recognized by people
from the South Plains counties that Lubbock is the
exact spot for the fair and Lubbock must not dis
appoint them. The livestock exhibits would have
been doubled this year If the Association could
have arranged for their care.

We understand the order has been given by
the Commissioners Court the City Commission
and the Board Of Education of the Lubbock indie
pendent School District to proceed to collect all
back taxes. That's the stuff Ii is the only fair
way to deal with the situation. Everyone who
owns property should pay their taxes and there
by keep the valuations down to a minimum in
stead of riding the maximum all the time and
making the fellow pay for keeping things running
and a lot of fellows Stacking on the job. II man
has just reason for not paying. these things
should be adjusted and the matter of tax paying
put on an equal basis

Lubbock has made wonderful progress in the
past few years We have spread out, and our
population now covers a large territory, that is
not served by the city sewer water and light ser
vice and it is about time that. a was made
to increase this scope of service The city is now
able to float more bonds and this is the only way
that extension of the service can be made. ex
oept in very slow way A few cents added to
the taxes would furnish hundreds of homes with
I'll the facilities while otherwise they are deprived
of the convenienccs. and at the same time have
to pay taxes the bonds that are already out
standing which furnishes these things to only a
comparative few.
