BUSINESS CLUBS

Sorre folks wonder what the real worth of BUSH
ness clubs are anyway. Many people look upon
them as useless. but according to statement made
by the retiring secretary Of the Chamber OF Com
merce the educational feature along this line of
service. has been worth a great deal to Lubbock.
Since the organization Of the Rotary Club, which
has been organized in Lubbock just little
year and the Kwanis Club which has recently been
organized he says it is easy matter to get a
meeting Of the Chamber Of Commerce board OF
directors now, while a year ago the same bunch
gould hardly be gotten together at all. tie says
these same men have learned since belonging to
these business clubs, that attendance is something
that is Of greater importance than many people have
ever thought before and being the price OF mem
bership in these orders has become kind OF sec
ond nature for hem to pep up bit and perform
the duties they are called upon TO perform. hen
too the social feature Of the clubs is OF much value
to the business men. and makes business relations
more congenal. and each line OF business finds
that his special line is not alone in its ups and downs
and that this brings about sympathetic feel
ing among the people The business mems clubs
are worth all they cost from a standpoint OF good
fellowship.

LUBBocK's OIL MILL.

Preparations are being made 20

to have everything ready for the fall

ties make that city an ideal location
for an oil mill and we congratulate
our neighbor town on her good for

Il j. recognized fact that Lub-
book has the edge over every other
South Plains town IN the matter Of
railroad facilities. This counts too,
when il comes 20 the location Of the
large industries like that of oil mills,
and shippers Of commodities In great
quantities. Lubbock is so situated
that farm products can be easily
shipped into Lubbock, and just as
conveniently shipped out and can
reach a large territory by rail
larger than any other South Plains
town. Lubbock is the Hub OF the
Plains. and more spokes will be add
ed as needed, and the rapid develop
ment Of the South Plains will soon
bring about the building Of more
railroads 10 Lubbock.

The Plains Country Is great in more ways than N
an. \, Il A wonderful stretch OF fine country. II
h.. 40 many features that people should appreciate
and conditions that folks should be thankful for.
One is so healthy that work is pleasure and the
weather is so fine that living the Plains is de-
light. There is no dread OF being washed away by
floods even when we enjoy bounteous rains like
we have had the past week. we need have no dread
of bivh water Railroad connection seldom
ever broken on account Of tracks being washed out.
and telegraph and telephone service is seldom ever
h;ndered on account OF the weather conditions. the
floods and the wind-stor wonder why people
will content themselves with living in such places
when there is room, and hearty welcome await
