A. V. and s. II Weaver, Of the
firm Of Weaver & Weaver, local
grain dealers and cotton buyers,
have started something during the
past few days that is liable to make
Lubbock and Lubbock county farm

for many days; and with the report
that they will ship grain direct to
foreign consumers suhstantiated by
a letter which follows this article, we
are sure that they are really in this
business with one aim. and that is
20 secure the best price, best serv-
ice. and best considerations for Lub-
book county products.
They have already shipped three
hundred bales of cotton 20 eastern

At a meeting Of the Board OF Di-
rectors of the Lubbock school and Of
ficials Of the Chamber Of Commerce
Tuesday morning the adyisability OF
voting a bond issue to build a new
nigh school building was discussed, IN
the course Of which il was revealed
that the present building is defective
with probability Of collapsiug al
any time, by Contractor Pryor,
member Of the board.
The needs Of a bigger and better
school building here has been under
discussion for several weeks, and the
time has come when real action Is
very necessary.
Brick in the present building had
been laid with an inferior cement
mixture, that is proving very liable
to be the cause Of wholesale destruc-
ton

Value Of City Prop
erty Is Increasing Be-
yond Expectation

With the fall season and need Of
homes more evident, people from
everywhere are coming to Lubbock
TO receive the benefit Of our schools,
and 60 live in the best town on the
great South Plains. which has caused
city property to advance in price be-
yond expectations Of our oldest citi-
zens Il is surprising indeed TO note
that in some sections Of Lubbock.
VII ere only few months ago there
was no signs Of improvements there
are now many new, well constructed
homes, and contractors very busy
making others. Lubbock is on a real
building boom at this time, and il is
not so noticeable until one makes a
tour Of the entire town TO see that
building is not centered in one lOcn-
tion, but from every side Of the town
new homes spring up as in the real
building days prior TO the war.
Lubbock suffered back-set
like an other towns since financial
everywhere were so close,
but il is ahead Of them all in making
a get away now. that things have be-
come more settled and there is more
money with which 20 build.
On all the roads leading from the
city can be seen many nice buildings
under construction, and this is ac-
counted for in the fact that one
hundred pound hog will buy a great
deal more feet Of lumber at this time
than when pork was al the peak Of
pfices.
Lubbock county farmers and Lab
book citizens are looking at the build

which can be seen in this building

GOES DOWN
BEFORE LOCAL SWAT TIERS
Score Was Lopsided But Game
Interesting. Attendance Was
Largest This Season.

! Before the largest audience that
has ever assembled in Sportsman
Park this season TO witness a ball
game, the Offering of the parish
Seaters went down in a - to 3
defeat Wednesday afternoon.
In this game Welsh set a new
high record, fifty men facing the
Jennings pitcher in eight times
up, and with only ten safe hits run
up twelve scores.
Jennings had assembled a very
imposing array of SwatSmen but
they were OutclaSSed by our local
aggregation which is fast round
ing into good trim.
Some of the Jennings fans
shauled freight" before the game
was over, apparently shocked by
the results. They should not do
that, They have a good start for
a ball team and should present a
more game spirit.
Don't get peeved friends, you
can't win every day.

Thinks Rice Indusry Has Been
Double Crossed by Millers
And Growers Ass'ns.

Washington, D. C.-Growers
of rice feel they have been un-
fairly treated by the Rice MilIer's
Association and the Rice Grow
iers' Association. That was gwen
lbv Senator Robinson of Arkansas
as the reason why he is introduc-
ing a resolution providing for an
investigation by the Senate OF the
production, milling and market
! ing of rice. The investigation
would be conducted by a sub
committee of the committee OF
agriculture if the Senate approves
1.-The resolution. Commenting on his
resolution, Senator Robinson said
adverse conditions, probably
brought about by number OF
causes, aIrett may branches o;

true of the rice industry. 1t IS
threatened with destruction. The
crop grown in 1919 was abundant
| md was disposed of protitably.
rhe producer received from two
Ito three dollars per bushel. The
milling charge then was approx
mateIy forty cents. The market
price of rice now, if any market
exists, has dropped to from thirty
to fifty cents per bushel, while
the milling charge has increased
to one dollar per barrel. These
prices affect the entire crop pro-
duced in 1920. The labor cost and
the cost of supplies and seed ag-
gregate more than twice the
amount which rice growers are
receiving for their products. /
"Just prior to the beginning OF
the present year the Rice Miller's
Association seemed to con-
template price of five dollars
per barrel for No. and No. z
rice. The millers agreed to make
advancements to the farmers up
on delivery of the rice. For a short
time advancementS were made but
reaching me shows
that without consulting the pro-
1ucer the rice was reduced arbit-
.arily to less than half of the cost
Of production, and all advance
nentS discontinued. Thousands of
ice farmers thus were driven
quickly from prosperity and into
bankruptcy.
"The rice crop for the current
year as a result has been reduced
