Lubbock Pours
It On Baird In
Postal Writing

The following mention under q
date line from Baird Is real anus
ing when read by some OF Lubbock
people:
Baird, Texas, May 2s.--"Donald
Mayfield, II, a sixth grade pupil
here, likely has hung up new Tex
as record. He has written st4 words
on an ordinary postal car, winning
a new suit offered as prize BY a
local business house. The words are
swritten with ink and pen and fill
the card completely. Unless you
have a pair of extra good eyes, you
would need microscope to read
the words"
This IL probably very good for a
10 year old boy, from Baird, but
Lubbock has something that lays
that in the shade for long rest.
Walter Z. Taylor, architect Of this

city, has a regular sized postal card
on which he has placed 1900 words,
and the work was done In about
three hours. Mr.. Taylor IL sixty-six
years old, but the words are read
able. without a microscope. This
one card Is not the only one In ex-
istence either. lie informs us that
he wrote eight Just like ~. one for
each OF his children, and mailed
them to them. The subject matter
written on the card is history OF
the wild turkey, and II is not only
interesting because Of the fineness
and the clearness Of the writing,
but because Of the interesting story
that II carries. Mr.. Taylor is a
great hunter, and annually takes a
month off from his work, and goes
for n trip in the mountains, hunting
wild turkey and other game. He
says there Is one thing certain that
he has always made point TO do
and that Is never to let business in
terfere with pleasure, hence he is
spry and enjoys life the best in the
world. and is a most entertaining
old gentleman, anywhere he is
placed.
