"A Visit to the Wafhck
House West Of Lub-
b ock Recently

Accepting an invitation TO come
out and eat watermelon" from Mr..
Warlick, the editor and family drove
out 20 the Warlick farm two miles
west Of Lubbock. We certainly did
eat watermelon, and some Of the best
we ever ate. Mr.. Warlick is what
we call successful farmer. He is
a diversified, which is clearly seen
by walk about the premises and
his farm. He has a fine herd OF
hogs, all sizes and ages, and will
have a bunch Of them on exhibition
81 the fair next year. He also has
a big bunch OF chickens, which makes
plenty Of good eating in the way Of
fried chicken and eggs at all times
and many Of both TO sell. His cows
also play an important part in the
living at home part Of the game. His
crop looks good His maize, kafirs,
sorphums, corn etc. all in fine con-
dition and producing good yield.
He is gathering two tons and more
from his row crops, and his cotton,
Of which he has several varieties,
will yield well, probably from a third
TO three-quarters Of bale 20 the
acre. He has near a hundred acres
in crop, and planted an cultivated il
all himself. but Of course will have
TO call on the natives rthe mig
gers" 70 help gather what he has
raised.
There was no signs Of the i'll ef-
fects Of the high cost Of living in
this home, and as we see il there is
no reason that every farmer in the
South Plains cannot be equally as
well fixed as Mr.. Warlick.
Diversification and a little more
business on the farm will make the
farmer as independent as the pro-
verbal hog on ice"

Labor Committees of House and Seu-

On the night of Tuesday. February
%, there is to be threshed out in a
joint meeting of the labor committees
of the house and senate. the working
mems compensation tangle which has
arisen thru the difference in viewpoint
of the administration committee
which framed the administration
compensation bill and the labor in

The hearing, which will be open to
the public. is to be held in the in
dustrial court room of the state house.
In addition to the committees. there
will be present representatives of the
insurance companies. the labor unions
and the corporations.
There are before the committees
two compensation bills. one of them
framed by a committee appointed by
the governor, the other by the repre-
sentatives of the labor unions
The vital difference between the
two bills is that the sunion labor bill
provides for a state insurance plan
monopolistic, and the administration
bill takes no account of that scheme

two factions in the labor camp and
that it is possible that third bill will
be introduced as a substitute for the
present labor bill. which is said not to
be pleasing to all the labor men,

MAKE AUTO TAGS VISIBLE
Legislature Has Plan That Will Be of
Real Benefit to Public.

A system by which auto license num-
bers can be read after dark was taken
Inder consideration by the senate
roads and bridges committee Tuesday
night. 1t requires that the illumina-
ton of license tags be from the rear
and that the figures and letters of the
tag be perforated so that the light

is to be an amendment to house bill

The present system of illuminating
license tags after dark is Intellectual
and has long been a source of trouble
to police officers. Except the first two
or three numbers, it is practically im-
possible to read a tag after dark more
than twenty-five feet distant, especially
or a swiftly moving car.
Under the amendment proposed by
the senate committee, it is asserted,
the license number can be read for
distance of nearly two blocks. The
perforated license tags, it was said, will
cost the state less than the old tags.
altho the primary equipment on Ine

would be paid by the automoplle

Local automobile insurance men to-
day were enthused over the proposed
measure. 1t will greatly reduce the

Upper House FavOrs Reduction
in Dragging Fund.

The state senate today rolled up its
sleeves and waded into the good roads
bill which provides for the state old
road fund, with some qualms, and a
good deal of. distaste. But the bill was
on special orders and it had to be
done. w.
The bill as now before the senate is
the house bill which was passed and
then went to the senate committee,
where it was thoroly amended before
it came to the floor of the senate.
Take Up Amendments.
The committee amendments, which
relate to the setting aside of a road
dragging fund, and reduce the amount
of that fund from $3.50 on each auto
mobile registration. to $500 on each
registration; prevent the use of the
maintenance other than road-drag-
ging; provided that the county COM
missioners must refrain from organ
izing a benefit district and building
roads when the property owners do
not initiate the movement and pay
their share of the cost, were taken
up first.
The senate stood for the reduction
in the use of the dragging fund, after
an argument in which nearly every
member aired his technical knowledge
of the bill. They also agreed that the
job of cleaning drains and bitches or
cutting hedges, but held for the pur-
pose of building roads, more espe-
cially.
But the amendment In regard to the
organization of the benefit districts on
the initiative of the county commits
sioners instead of the property hold
ers, met with luke-warm reception.
Aimed at Property Owners.
The amendment was designed to get
after the selfish property owners who
reside between two hard surfaced or
otherwise improved roads which have
a gap between them. 1t has been pos
sible. in the past, for these selfish ones
to sit tight till the rest of the county,
demanding the road in a completed
state. rose up and built it. without the
property owners paying their allotted
25 per cent.
that the wording of the bill might per-
nit a minority of the property owners
to force a hard surfaced road on
somebody who didn't want It, under
other conditions. and the committee
amendment came under heavy fire.
Many Leaders.

ness, there was no lack of Moseses
to try the leading stunt, and the sem
ate was still muddled when the mo-
ton to rise, report progress and ask

The recess means that the senate.
with Senator Finley, of Chanute still
in the chair, will return directly to the
consideration of the road bill this aft
ernoon at o'clock. and that the en-
tire matter will proba bly, be threshed
out while the senate is on the job.
