N. {. Duering, the new postmas-
ter Of Lubbock, who assumed his du-
ties here the first OF April, makes
the abatement that he only needs a
httle time in which TO improve the
service OF the postoffice department
ahove what il now ls. "Of course the
nublic expects a new man 10 jump
ri0ht in and revolutionize the whole
thing IN day or two, which y the
impossible." he says under existing
conditions Many things conneeted
with work Of this kind are Unknown
and unheard Of by the public. We
are now working two men short, on
account OF sickness, and under the
present ruling by the department we
are not allowed 10 select our own
heln. but must depend upon the civil
service for help. No man can be
accepted by US without first having
nassed the examination
Mr. Duering has lived in and
around Lubbock for the past ten
years having come here from ST.

heen devoted 10 private life on the
farm He is a physician BY profes-
sion. having practiced medicine for
the greater part OF his life before

from Madrid. Spain, telling OF the
annual ceremony OF footvaShins in the
roya. palace. when the king and queen
wash the feet Of several o. their poor

nobility. While this may be beautiful

strong impression Of fantastic hypo-
crisy.

Among those whose ames ha' } been

regarded with apparently the greatest
amount Of favor.

a host Of personal friends IN every To-

any other man in the state. II Will be
remembered that General Lilly was 4
candidate for the Republican nomina-
ton for governor against Judge Ira f..
Robinson In 1915, In which cam paiEn his
