The two days poultry show held IN
with the Farmers Short
Co irse was an entire success in
every respect. The number OF birds
entered, no doubt, would have been
larger had not so many
of our farmers been busy putting up
their land. However, all entries
were Of exceptional quality which IN
a way offsets the small numbers.
The management Of the show was
well pleased with the interest shown
in the proposition and feels sure that
we can have a bigger and better
show next winter and plans are now
being laid to have an annual winter
show and throw it open for competi-
tion 90 the world.
The merchants Of Lubbock made
the show possible by giving Literally
Of their merchandise to be offered
as premiums TO the winners in the
various classes. These premiums
were all useful articles and VIII be
greatly appreciated by those who
won them. In order not TO make
the show a burden on anyone, no
effort was made 10 provide prem
iums for more than one place in each
class. so awards were only made on
first place individuals and the best
pens. also on the best male bird and
the best female bird in the show.
Four hens from representative
breeds exhibiting in the show were
selected for a culling demonstration
Mt the Short Course, and of this
number a Rhode Island Red hen
owned by Mrs. Ed. Schroeder made
very creditable showing from the
standpoint Of capacity for egg pro-
duction.
The award for the best cock bird
in the show was won by j. W. Jen-
nings on a Light Barred Plymouth
Rock cockerel, and the award for the
best female bird in the show was
won by J. B. Potts on a Rhode Island
Red hen.
There were $50 chickens and 5
turkeys entered in the show consisting
of 50 pens, representing about 70
different breeds.
Mrs. F. n. Payne the official hos
tess 10 the show took over all eggs
produced at the show. and states that
she will hatch these eggs and be a
strong competitor next winter in all
departments.
The feed for the show birds was
furnished free gratis by one Of our
enterprising feed dealers, Mr.. II. a.
Davidson, local dealer for the Rails
ton Purina Company.
Following are the awards in the
various classes:
Best pen Mammoth Bronze Tur-
keys, Mrs. J. c. Wayland Best pen
Bourbon Red turkeys, Mrs. NJ. d.
Newton.

DEATH TOLL FROM
AUTOS INCREASING

II is estimated that life IS
shifted out every thirty minutes
during the twenty-four hours. This
is staggering, but the National SAT-
ETY. Council stated that fifteen thou
sand persons lost their lives last
year. an increase Of 1000 over the
year before. According to their es-
innate for each fatality there are
twenty accidents in which the in
juries are either serious or trivial.
In some states where they have
stringent laws regulating drivers
speed the loss is not so great. In
these states they have greatly les
soned the loss by revoking the IL
cense Of those who are convicted OF
careless driving, no matter II the
results are serious or not. IL Is
claimed by the Safety Council that
since the trucks have come in the
the danger has increased. BY
close study and comparison, It Is
proven that they are more danger
Gus than the freight engine which
follows a given track.

Col. MulGcan
Underwent Opera
ton Last FRIDAY

Clark NJ. Mullican, well known
local man. was operated on in
one Of our city sanitariums the
latter part Of last week He Is do
ing fine, and has been very re-
markablc case.
Colonel Mulhcau. as we all know
him, went on the operating Tahie
Friday morning for appendicitis,
under a local ancsthctic. His folks
knew nothing about his intentions,
his wife being in Dallas, but be de-
cided that hc would have the OPP
Grafton over as t had TO be done
sooner or later.
a telephone was pat m his room,
and while the operation was IN pro-
gress, a cali was put m for his
wife in Dallas. lmmeditely upon
being placed on his bed from the
operation, he called up his mother
in town. and told he he had Just
been operated on for appendicitis,
and 10 come down to see him. Then
not ten minutes later he left the
operating table, he talked to his
wife in Dallas. giving her the news.
On Saturday morning, following the
operation on Friday, he shaved him
self in bed, with just as much ease
as II nothing had happened.
Colonel Mullican made the state
ment that he had not had a pain,
and had had no hypodermic, as us
ually accompanies case OF that
kind. He is resting easily and will
be out in very few days at his US
ual duties.
We are glad indeed TO hear Of
the Colonels successful operation
and that he win soon be at his post
again. He is a forward looking and
successful citizen, always in the har-
ness for the betterment Of his town.

"Say, but there were some paper

meeting last Saturday was the re-
port made by Secretary Keen upon

Chamber Of Commerce.
"Of course there was nothing OF
a very definite nature completed
for il is generally conceded that the
financial situation will have 20 ad-
lust itself somewhat more satis-
factorily before any great action
can be had toward the actual con-
struction of this line. But that such
line will be built there isn't the
slightest doubt in the mind Of any
one acquainted with the conditions
that make such a road not only
logical but necessary.
Fort Worth is awake 10 the alb
solute necessity of having a direct
railroad connection with this sec
ton if they are TO maintain thet
present standing as the market and
distributing center Of West Texas.

developing West Texas for her own

the bulk 0f her livestock and grain
produced in this section at this time.

1900 car loads Of livestock have

Markets that normally should move

same thing is true in regard 20 cot

Funeral Services of
A. B. Conley, Jr.
Conducted Tues.

The people Of Lubbock certainly
proved TO the friends and relatives
OF A. B. Conley, Jr., their apprecia-
tion Of his services as progressive
citizen, his kindness as a personal
friend, and his alertness to all
things which were designed TO
create better conditions in Lubbock
when his remains were laid 10 rest

his friends and relatives at the fam
ily home when funeral services were
conducted by a close friend Of the
deceased. Rev. W. A. Bowen, pastor

occasion was equaled only by its
sadness. Possibly for the first time

Mr. Conley has been associated
with the people Of Lubbock during
the past several years, and his pass
ing was a complete surprise to the
many people with whom he has been
associated. as only one week before
his death he was going about his
work in that same optomistic spirit
that characterized his every action.
Funeral services were concluded
at the Cemetery, by the various
branches Of the Masonic order. The
procession that followed the remains
Of deceased TO the cemetery was
probably the largest ever seen in
Lubbock, which bespeaks the esteem
in which this man was held by the
people Of this community.
