miles northwest of Lubbock on the
bank Of double mountain fork Of the
Brazos River, that timc-honored river
Of Texas whose banks farther along
in the intefior Of Texas have yielded
millions in liquid gold to oil pros
pectors and land owners.
The real power behind this develop
ment is Col. W. F. Bledsoe, a pioneer
resident Of Lubbock county for thirty
years, man known far and wide
For his integrity and success as a
ranchman, stock farmer and sheep
grower, VINO is backing his own judg-
ment and the opinions of numerous
geoi0gisis who have surveyed the ter
ritory and pronounce the possibility
of finding oil and gas in paying qusn-
titles 20 be worthy Of exploitation,
and at a depth not too prohibitive in
a financial way.
For many years Col Bledsoe has
been Interested in the geology Of the
South Plains, and as result Of his
research and untiring effort, the pres
etn development Is made possible.
Without outside financial aid, without
stock promotion schemes, and with
modesty Of a man successful in other
lines Of endeavor, Col Bledsoe IL

his own money, and with an abiding
faith in the outcome
II has always been the dream, the
hope, and the opinion as well, ~ old
residents Of the Great Llano Estscsdo
that in some future time the bowels
of the earth would yield wealth in
oil and gas. Much effort, energy and
money has been spent IN geological
Investigations, and il Is said that
more prospects for good production
somewhere on the Plains have been
Indicated by geologists who have sur
veyed the country than IN many ter
ritories that now are paying out in
the millions.
II has remained, however. for a
home man who has an unbounded
faith behind him and the well wishes

poultry and pet stock
The poultry building Of last year
has been converted into keepers
lodge and a man is kept in charge of
the grounds at all times the year
around The tourist have been in
vited to utilize the park through this
summer in every way possible and
il has become widely known as de-
sirable place to spend the night by
all tourists.
The woman's building will again
house the Red Cross Rest Room, the
Better Baby Show, the School en-
hibits, and the various Woman's de-
partment as last year. Col. Mullican
will again be in charge Of the entire
building with superintendents in
charge Of the various departments.
The Largest Hog Show in West Texas
Last year the swine department
was possibly the most complete ex-
hibit Of the fair. This year the indi-
cations point to more than double the
show of hogs that we had last year.
Every provision is being made for
the most effective display Of this re-
markable exhibit II is expected that
more than 800 head Of hogs will be
shown in this fair
The Futurity Shows secured by
the Fair management in the swine de-
partment are of great interest TO hog
breeders over the entire South Plains
and the Lubbock management have
been very fortunate in securing both
the Duroc Jersey and Poland China
Futurity Shows this year
The Premium List Ia Out.
The premium list is Off the press
and is being mailed out this week
and additional copies may he had by
calling az the Chamber Of Commerce
office at the Courthouse.
The premiums paid in every de-
Dartment are the highest paid At any
fair of this size in the state of Tex
as, and compare very favorablv with
those paid by the Dallas Fair, the
Waco Cotton Palace and ahead Of the
Houston fair Some comparisons
may be made from the fact that the
Hall County Fair is paying $75 total
premiums on Poland China and Du-
roc Jersey hogs, while Lubbock pays
S40O on same classification. The
same comparison holds through pretty
well throughout.
The premiums paid are generally
higher than any found in any other
fair Of this size and this is made pos
,ihle through the arrangement that
no man Is to be paid dividend OF
interest on his money-but that It
shall all go toward making the Fair
bigger and better each year.
There Are No Entry Charges
In no department are there entry
charges for exhibits. except for space
in the industrial. implement, machin-
cry and automobile buildings. All
livestock. poultry. wo-
mans departments. etc. are absolu-
toly free to any citizen in the United
States that grows his own produce
and exhibits IL himself Out Of
county exhibitors are especially in
vited to place their produce by the
side Of that grown in Lubbock Coun-
~, and then profit by the experience
by moving TO Lubbock County.
To be a success. the Fair needs
your cooperation Are you behind
il heart and soul?

One Of the financial experts says
that many of the failures, although
il may seem unkind to say so, are ex-
cellent signs of returning business

business had been built upon inflated
standards and conducted along un-
sound. wasteful lines.
This sort of business is gradually
disappearing, as il should. The firms

their methods are sound and repres-
ent real service TO the public in re-
turn for the profits reaped.

mile north of the Lubbock County

Quite a little enthusiasm is being
aroused in Lubbock and the adjoin-
ing counties over this test. The fact
that little or no effort is being made
TO dispose Of leases held by w. r.

make the test appear more genuine

worked by one Of the oldest settlers
