The home Of r. +. Thornton, in
the northeast part Of town, north
Of the railroad, was totally destroy
ed BY fire Saturday afternoon at

had been destroyed.
Mrs. Thornton had been ironing.

heat the irons, and had walked out
into the yard and did not discover

under flames, II looked as though
the tank on the stove had exploded,
scattering the flames all over the
room.
All that was saved Of the furnish
ings was baby chair and Mrs.
Thornton's trunk
The place had been insured sew
eral months ago. but how long the

Many friends Of the family regret
very much the loss Of the home.

ANOTHER BRICK BUILDING
TO BE CONSTRUCTED SOON

G.. c. Morrow, Of the Western
Windmill Company, has made con-
tract with Abilene parties to erect
a brick building on Broadway, but
at this time we do not know what
business the Abilene men will con-
duet
Lubbock is growing by leaps and
bounds, new brick buildings are
dotting up on every corner, and the
thing that looks good to US Is that
these buildings are Of the very most
substantial type, and the building
contractors are kept busy, for no
sooner than one is completed anoth-
er is started, and rushed to compile
tion.
We congratulate the Abilene par
ties on their good business judg-
ment in selecting Lubbock as a
place for their activities. and hope
that they will become active factors
in helping achieve great things for
Lubbock.

Soldier Bonus to
Be Put Off Till .
Sometime In July

Washington, May 1.-THE soldier
bonus question, it is probable, will
remain more or less dormant until
about July /.
According to reliable information
from Senate leaders, President Har-
ding has suggested that a postpone
ment Of consideration Of a bonus
bin until that time will accomplish
two things:
First. il will enable this Govern
ment to reach a settlement with
Great Britain on the question Of
funding Britain's loan, with the re-
suit that there will be negotiable
British paper in the Treasury which
will give the Treasury something 10
work on in financing the bonus.
Second, a delay will permit of the
working out Of a practicable meas
ure, instead of the unworkable com
pilation Of hodge-podge Of ideas
that has come out Of both sides of
Congress in the effort to provide a
bonus promise without funds to
carry il out.

F. Y. Neil Died
Last Monday P. NJ
AT Plainview, Tex.

r. V. Neil, Of this city died in
Plainview last week, at the home Of
his brother, d. NJ Neil, Of heart
failure. Mr.. Neil was one Of Lub-
books best citizens, and mis- sudden
demise caused no little amount Of
surprise, as he was in apparently
good health when he left here only
few days prior to his death. He
had gone 10 Plainview for few
days visit with his brother, and
was taken guddenly i'll with what
was reported to be heart failure.
Mr.. Neil had been citizen Of
Lubbock for a number Of years, and
had been on the Plains several
years prior to coming to "the Hub
Of the Plains" During his So
journ in Lubbock he had accumu-
lated considerable property, and was
progressive and good business
man. He was a member of the
Methodist church, and was faithful
70 that denomination. He spent
much Of his money in the support
Of the church and for charitable
purposes, and he no doubt has laid
up treasures in Heaven. where neith-
er moth nor rust doth corrupt, nor
thieves do break through and steal.
Rev. c. ". n. Ferguson, pastor
Of the First Methodist church Of this
city was called TO Plainview TO
conduct the services. he being pas
tor Of the deceased. Services were
conducted in the First Methodist
church at Plainview, and the re-
mains were laid to rest in the Plain
view cemetery Tuesday afternoon.
Mr.. Neil was Ga years of age. He
had never married, but leaves a
number Of relatives in this section

ali over the country the department
would find itself the possessor Of a
system Of splendid structures. This
method would result in the saving OF
millions Of dollars TO the public. In
many instances the Government is
made 10 pay exorbi,ant rent. For
instance, the department will lease
a building in small community Tor
ten years and because Of the post
office site property in its vicinity
will Increase in value, the popula-
tion Of the town may increase ten
fold and when the lease expires the
owner Of the property very ire
quently demands about three or four
times the original rental and we are
Obliged 20 pay 1t or look for some
other property"

said that the Government could save
millions II a common sense business

which meets there Monday and
Tuesday. There was more than a
hundred ears loaded to their ca

Of people from Tahoka and Lamesa.
There was also a large number pass
ed through Lubbock from Brown

counties mighty good representa-
ton there. LubbOck's band, ac-
comranied the delegation and will

Lubbock Is going TO the conven-
tion, asking for the meeting in 1924:
The Secretary Of the Chamber OF
Commerce will see that five thou
sand circulars are distributed, let
ting the people know that we want
the convention In 1924, and II Is
expected that we viii have no
trouble in landing the meeting for
that year. Several counties are in
line for the contention next year,
and will probably go to Sweetwater
or San Angelo. Those two towns
being early in the race and pretty
strong boosters.
The meeting will give the South
Plains a wonderful amount Of adj
vertising, and the country is GER
tainly looking fine at this time cf
the year. and we are confident that
the meeting will result in much good
for the Plains section.

Red Tapes Triumph.

Our old enemy Red Tape had an
other OF his Ellis Island triumphs
the other day.
A Mr. and Mrs. COOPER and their
two-year-old daughter came to this
country from England. The immi-
grafton officials learned that while
Mr.. COOPER was born in England his
wife was of Australian birth.
AS the quota of British immigrants
had not been exhausted the father
and the baby were admitted. But
Mrs. COOPER, having been born in
Australia, was classified as an Aus
tralian; and as the Australian quota
was exhausted she was shipped back
alone to the port whence she came.
Appeals to Washington" says the
news article, were futile" OF course
they were. The big men in Washing
ton are busy with more important
matters. The little men are en-
meshed, as they have been for years,
in the tentacles of Red Tape. The
bureaucrats are too lazy or too stupid
or too lacking in interest to right an
obvious wrong. They are content to
use the intelligence Of slot machine.
AS for the men in Congress who
fashion laws that permit the break
ing up Of family like this, the less
said the better.
Mrs. COOPER, we read, can come
hack here on the next steamship and
take chance of the Australian quota
being open then.
Meanwhile the baby wonders and
Red Tape writhes with laughter.

Food and the Strike.

In a telegram to President HAIR
DING the head of the American Farm
Bureau Federation, ]. r. HOWARD,
declares that many thousand farm
ers seem destined to lose their whole
years work unless settlement of the
railroad strike is speedily made.
If the strikers prevent the ship
ment Of the crops now being har-
vested the farmer is not the only one
that will suffer. Everybody in the
United States, whether he be farmer,
railroad man, banker, miner, me-
chanic, clerk or tailor, will feel the
evil effects.
If the farmers perishable crops are
spoiled while waiting for the rail-
roads to take them to the market
or the canning factory he will lose
the money value of them and the
rest Of the country will have to go
without them and pay higher prices
for what it can find to eat. If the
farmer cannot get his grain down
the great lakes before the freeze
comes there will be so much less
American income from abroad.
The farm is the base of all business.
When it is shut off from the world
by the crippling of the railroads all
business, all labor, feels the pinch
of hunger.
The New York herald., 1922-08-17
AL Smith Says Yes.

The letter written by AL SMITH to
FRANKLIN d. ROOSEVELT, consenting
to be candidate for the Democratic
nomination for Governor, has that
simplicity and directness which have
been so valuable politically to the
former Governor. Nobody knows
better than AL SMITH that in the
middle of August campaign docu-
ments should be brief If they are
to be read, so he expressed In less
than three hundred words all that a
wise candidate needs to say to the
perspiring electorate. He would like
to stay in business, but If the Demo-
cratic State Convention wants him to
run for Governor he will take the
nomination and do his best.
Nothing in politics is certain, but
now that SMITH has said yes it
would seem, as things stand in DEM
ocratic politics, that his nomination
is the best bet. Until Mr.. SMITHS 5
announcement of his receptive cam
didacy it looked as If Mr.. HEARST
had more than a good chance for the
nomination. Perhaps the publisher
will win yet, but his supporters un-
doubtedly have received a heavy
blow in Mr.. SMITHS frank statement
that he is willing to take the party
leadership.
