EXTENSIONS

The building program Of Lubbock might well
be efassed under the caption OF extensions. We
have the foundations laid for city OF size and
importance unequaled by any on the Plains and
we are now at the point where extensions are
necessary to take care OF the constantly growing
demands Lubbock is rapidly growing into the
city and her people pictured years ago, ana
we must now push out the boundary lines and make
room for the growth that is sure to result during
1922 from the campaign OF publicity gwen TINS
section during 1921 and through the various
agencies that have been constantly working upon
the people OF the crowded East. South and North.

is growing more and more apparent, and the
necessary for added equipment in the city to take
care of this increase in population is very vivid
Our CITY plants are not sufficient to take OF

being offered them and even demanded of them

extent Of making them at least adequate to the
present demands and requirements. Then our

needs of the present day to say nothing Of the
future so il behooves the people of Lubbock to
get on their working clothes and get things in
shape for the people who coming to Lubbock

Il is significant that as usual the
after-holiday trade in the Lubbock
stores are holding up TO It's best ira
ditions this year. The reason
claimed by some Of our oldest es-
tablished stores is that Lubbock
draws trade from a very large ter
ritory and therefore does a constant
business as a result Of supplying the
needs OF great area. Travelling
through the town. making railroad
connections, awaiting until after

HOODLUMS Of DEN
YER NOW RESORT|NC
To BOMB TERROR

DENVER, Colo, July 16-Resi-
dents near PIP Gilpin street were
terrorized and several narrowly
missed death or injury when a bomb,
believed by the police to have been
thrown to intimidate a family which
recently moved into this residence dis
trict, exploded at 1880 o'clock Thurs
day night on the front lawn at that
address.
Walter r. Chapman, a government
mail carrier here for fifteen years, and
hi wife, the two newcomers in the
neighborhood were sitting in the
front room OF their new home at PIP
Gilpin street when the bomb went off,
SCATTERING the front windows OF the
house and side windows OF that Of
Adolph ChriStendom, fifteen feet
away, at pos Gilpin street No one
was injured
The bomb, which evidently ex-
ploded the moment it struck the
ground. tore a hole in the front lawn
six feet from the house
Chapman said that after he bought
his new property recently through f.
r. Ross as agent, from Patrolman
Richard Porter, also colored, who
was not occupying the house. he was
threatened by white man, who said,
Stay out of this neighborhood. If
you move in here. your house is going
to be blown up"
Since then Chapman had not seen
this man again and had not been able
to learn his name, he said
Chapman told the police he had re-
ported this alleged intimidation to
Manager OF Safety Downer; his sec
rotary, Clint Smith, and Chief OF Po-
lice Williams shortly after this strange
man had addressed him.
Residents Alarmed
Residents for blocks around heard
the explosion last night, and for an
hour or more telephone lines to the
police department and The News were
kept busy by inquirers who wanted to
know what had happened
The police were unable to find any
pieces OF an internal machine, or
homemade bomb, about the damaged
Chapman home.
They felt confident, however, that
the explosion resulted from a premed-
itatcd plan against the property and
was caused by either a charge of dy-
Mantle or homemade charge con-
structed OF material which was shat
tered to atoms with the discharge.
