Lubbock continues to 90 forwardl Her people
are almost unit on matters pertaining to the pro-
gress OF the town. Some months ago they voted
eight to one to build high school building
This bond issue which was Tor Sloo.OOO. was Tor
the purpose Of building one high school building in
Lubbock and three ward buildings within the Lub
book Independent School District. Contract has
been let for the high school building and plans
have been drawn and bids will be received for the
building Of the ward buildings, which will be in the
rural parts Of the district in short time Soon at
ter that election another held to raise the tax
rate for maintenance OF the schools from SOC on the
500 valuation to 90c This carried by five or
six to one. which will provide money enough to
carry on the work Of the school il should be.
Tuesday of this week the question OF issuing city
bonds to the amount Of. SIS 600 was carried to
the tune of more than nine TO one. The victories
won in the three elections puts Lubbock in posi-
ton to continue to go forward and there is ques
ton that greater progress will be made in affairs in
this vicinity than ever before, and Lubbock is now
lined up for one of the most gigantic building pro-
grams that has ever been known to the Plains. Ii
is well known fact to people Tor many hundred
of miles around that Lubbock is one town that is
really doing big things and that she is outgrowing
any other town of its size in the West is conceded
by her keenest rivals This is due to the fact that
Lubbock people are sticking together Ii is due to
the constructiveness OF the men who have charge
of affairs While lot of debts are being created
for the public to quidate in years to come. it is
done only for the necessary things to keep the town
growing. and by so doing keep everything alive and
on tip toes. A live wire is never lacking when II
comes to making those who come in contact with
it, move about and for that a million dollar
debt can more easily be paid by the town when it
is alive and going than if dead, nobody wants to
have anything to do with dead things. The live
ones are the ones that attract attention therefore
the few thousand dollars in bonds that have been

col ORADO RECORD ADDS ANOTHER GOOD
EDITOR TO STAFF

The Colorado Record is fast increasing its edi-
tora staff Last week another good writer was
added to the list and while it not known that
the said writer had been placed in that honorable
position his writings appeared in the last issue OF the
Record in the editorial columns of the paper how
ever this editorial week two later as it APP
peared originally in the Avalanche but was used YER
batim in the Record without any credit two weeks
later The Record has a great habit OF using edi-
torials from the columns of other papers without
giving credit They are usually courteous enough
however to change the name of the town as it APP
pears in the article and substitute Colorado in its
place A few weeks ago it contained a good edi
toria from the Lockney Beacon and then was fol
lowed by a good one from the Avalanche entitled
They are coming West. This same editorial was
copied in a number of State publications but was
given due credit We do not know what the Record
thinks about it, and we not going to say what we
think about it, but if we did say it, it would be just
about the same thing said about that fellow who
took 100 feet Of hose off our lawn the other
night without asking permission Now If the
editor of the Record has not enough, nor time
enough to write his own editorials will be glad
to furnish him string Of good absolutely free
and will guarantee that they will not be printed in
the Avalanche before he has a chance to produce
them Il must be really embarrassing to the Record
man when he knows that OF the readers OF the
Record are likewise readers of the Avalanche and
have already had the pleasure of reading these edi-
torials before they appear in the Record.

SMALL FARMS

West Texas is passing from the COW range
stage to become country OF farms. his in no.
wise should be looked upon discredit to the
COW. The cattle business in other years has oc-
cuped the premier position in the industrial growth
of the Panhandle-P Plains country but the home
seeker demands his inning and land has become
too valuable to devote vast acreage to the grow
ing of cattle alone
The thriving towns have found that the trade
from the big ranches is not so valuable from
that of several established farms on the same area
and there is a growing hope that the big ranches
will be subdivided and settled up by local farm
ers 1t has already been done in many places
and the increased volume of trade coming to the
market towns is plainly noticeable.
There is a growing demand for farming lands
in West and Northwest Texas and the coming oil
progressive farmers with advanced knowledge in
scientific and intensive farm methods is trans
forming the Plains country into land OF farm
homes. The cattleman is doing his part to bring
about these conditions and is realizing more profit
from his improved herds restricted areas than
he did in former years with the pioneer herds
that roamed over the unbroken and unfenced west
ern country.
The time is coming when a section Of land
heretofore used as grazing ground for few head
of cattle will be transformed into well titled homes
for four progressive families. These changes are
coming and with them is coming all the marks OF
civzation-more and better public
roads substantial farm buildings stronger schools
churches and social centers throughout the rural
precincts and the schools. churches. societies
and merchants will get their full share of the SO
cia. intellectual and economical and commercial
benefits. There may not be so great percentage
of wealthy families, but the country will be rated
for its wealth OF happy, prosperous and contented
home owners-Amarillo Tribune.

HARD SURFACE ROADS
SHOULD BE AT LEAST Is FEET

A minimum width Of is feet for
hard-surface roads is recommended
by the Bureau Of Public Roads Of
the United States Department Of
Agriculture. The maximum width
Of truck body generally permitted
is 8 feet, and 8 IL feet is the or
binary clearance width Of automo-
biles. At an average speed Of 30
miles an hour it is unreasonable TO
expect the driver Of an automobile
TO drive with the wheels closer than
1-2 feet to the edge Of the pave
ment, says the bureau. For trucks,
at an average speed Of Is miles an
hour, this distance should not be less
than "a feet on account OF the

feet seems TO be a minimum safe
clearance between bodies. lnasmuch

KILL GRANDPA OF BIG. BEARS
Immense Bruin, Believed to Be Oldes.
of His Kind in Alaska, Bag0ed
by Hunter.

Seattle, Wash.-What is believed to
be Alaska's oldest bear was killed by
an Indian hunter near Anchorage and
the skin and head sent here on yes
sci. The animal was Of immense size,
the hide measuring II feet / inch in
length. The height of the bear was
6 feet at the shoulder. The Indian
hunter and white men who traded for
the pelt estimated the weight of the
animal at LOO pounds.
The fact that bruin was toothless
and almost clawless leads natives
who have inhabited the Anchorage
section for generations to believe it is
one long hunted. Their forefathers
held grudge against an old bear be-
cause in an early day, more than half
a century ago, he is alleged to have
cornered and destroyed half of the
folks in a little seacoast fishing VII
age.

is STAGE MAGNET THAT
ATTRACTS MEN TO ACTRESSES

Is it the actress herself or the gla-
mour of the footlights that is the
magnet that attracts the men o the
stage idol like moths to candle
Statistics would seem to prove that
it is the theater's halo of romance
and not the woman herself Take
for an example chorus girl Before
she begins her theatrical career, grad
uating from the ranks of the shop
girl, stenographer or factory en-
ploye, her circle of male friends is
generally confined to the men or boys
of her own class But the minute
she flashes her smile across the foot
lights she is sought by men of wealth
and culture. Staid buiness men COM
pete with each other for her smile
and men of affairs are delighted to:
be seen in her company in the smart
restaurants and cabarets.
And when she becomes star or
prima donna the doors of our best
society are thrown open to her. But
woe unto her if she delay making
matrimonial alliance until too late
Her fair weather friends melt away
like the dew before a summer sun.
This would seem to prove that it is
the stage and not the woman that
attracts.
And when man marries an ac
tress-and she gives up the stage for
the finer duties of the home, how
many times do we find this husband
after few years-haunting the stage
dooor and basking in the smiles OF
one of her former sisters of the foot
lights?
In "Curtain!" Katherine MacDon-
AIDS latest picture, this subject is
most cOnvincinngly handled by the
author Miss Macdonald, as foot
light favorite and the toast of the
Town, is married to man of wealth
after whirlwind cOurtship. But
after few years absence from the
stage, he grows tired of her and seeks
'omance at the hands of her success
'or in the limelight. An entirely sat
sfactOry finale occurs, but not until
ome impressive truisms on this great
question have been presented.
"Curtain!" will be the Firt Ma
iOnal attraction at the Liberty The
