Washingtons Birthday Fittingly Observ-
ed in Lubbock by Display Of National
Flag on Pubic Buildings and Homes

the Legion visited every room iu
the Grammar school building and
told them something about the Le-
gion and It's ideals.
Wednesday evening from eight
until twelve, through the courtesy
Of the Elks Lodge, the Legion en-
tertained its members, all Ex-Serv-
ice men, their friends and visitors
with an informal dance that was
attended by representatives from
every section Of the South Plains.
Lit.lefield and Brownfield having
especially large delegations each.
Most Of the Ex-Service men were
in uniform and brought back, in
memory, the string days Of only
three years ago when these men
were offering their all in. the sup
port Of the ideals Of the American
Nation.
Unfortunately we are a forget
ful nation in some things and the
work Of the Legion has been nee
essary 90 insure the proper treat
ment on the part of our government
toward the disabled soldier of the
late war. This they have been
most successful in doing but even
at that there has been much room
for criticism and politics. But with
the passage of time and red tape
is being dispensed with and more
liberal and just provisions being
made in the Interpretation Of the
provisions Of the law looking to-
ward the proper care of the dis
abled and support of the helpless
left from the late war.
The Allen Brother Post of the
American Legion in Lubbock car
ries its part Of this work, assists
in holding together the service men
of thu ate wnr and endeavors to
promote better appreciation Of
the ideals of our nation that forced
our participation in the late war
with a view TO creating such a uni
fled sentiment IN the support Of
our nation and its ideals that war
will be forever banished from the
world.
Enough fun is mixed with the
business Of the Legion to keep up
interest and It's meetings are grow

Getting
Ready for Increase
Business From Oil

Colorado, Texas, Feb 28.--Colo-
RADIO II prepared 20 meet the con-
ditions that are expected 20 arise
here within the near future as the
result If oil development. Bonds
with which to impound a large lake
Of water, with q capacity Of APP
proximately LAP, 100000 gallons of
water, 90 extend the water mains
and install a complete sewer system
have been feted by the city and
recently placed on the market. The
projects TO be built with these bonds
will afford ample accommodations
for a city much larger than Colo
rado. Work on these projects Is
expected to get under way within
the next few months. The city now
is well supplied with electricity for
power and light. The Texas and
Pacific Railway Company has re-
Gently completed a large freight
warehouse here making these facli-
ties sufficient for a city with a
population several times larger. The
industrial yards Of the railway com
pany in Colorado are large enough
as to insure ample accommodations
Of shippers in car load lots. In
the matter Of constructions Of new
buildings, this city is again favor
ably situated. There is located al
most within the city limits one Of
the largest sand and gravel pits 20
be found in this part Of the state.
This material is being specified by
architects az many places along the
Texas and Pacific because of its
superior quality.
According TO advices to the West
Texas Chamber of Commerce. the
funds for the construction Of q
concrete viaduct over the Colorado
River are now available, but moth
ing will be done until the arrival
of an engineer from the State High
way Department
J. A. Rountree, director general
II the Bankhead Highway stated
upon the occasion Of his last visit
TO Colorado that the Federal De-
partment at Washington regarded
the culvert and bridge construction
on the route in Mitchell county
very highly. Photographs Of some
of these structures between Colo
RADIO and Lorraine are filed at Wash
ingtOn as examples Of accredited
construction.

PEOPLE MISLED BY IN
SURANCE RATE REPORT

A recent article in the Avalanche
regarding the fifteen percent re-
duction on insurance costs in Lub-
book was not understood by sew
eral, and for their convenience
we have been given information
on the subject by a local insur-
ance man, whose wide knowledge
Of the business is without ques-
tion.
The good fire record obtained
for 1922, was made because the
ratio Of loss for the past three
years, in proportion 20 the prem
iums collected was below a certain
percent. Had the loss been lit
tie heavier. Lubbock would have
lost this credit, and the rates would
have gone back, but as il now Is
there Is no change In the 1921
rates.
Should the fire loss Of ts22 be
as heavy as 1921, the probabilities
are that the rates would be raised.

FARM PRODUCTS TAKE
HIGHER PRICE LEVEL

Who said IL was Improbable TO
farm on the Plains and raise feed?
That there is nothing 10 that can be
proven by any level headed farmer in
Lubbock County. for at this time
more than sixty percent Of the grain
feeds are still in the hands OF our
farmers. and the raise in prices that
has been constantly for the past ten
days has placed the price Of those
grains 70 such point that Il is easy to
figure how 10 come out ahead on
the 1921 feed crop.
Threshcd maize and kafir is in de-
mand at this time in Lubbock at
about one dollar per hundred, corn
has advanced from thrty-five to fif-
~ cents per bushel, and other grains
have made even greater advances.
And Lubbock county farmers have
them all.
There has also been about one
cent per pound added to the price
of hogs. Lubbock buyers at this
time are taking care of all they can
get at about $3.50 per hundred
and for the past thirty days there
has been an average Of about fifteen
cars per day shipped from here, and
the average will be kept up through
the spring and well into the summer
according to those best acquainted
with the hog raising industry in this
trade territory.

Lubbock Observed Washington
birthday Wednesday better than any
ordinary National holiday has ever
been observed II one is 10 judge
hy the number Of American flags
displayed by the business houses
and residences Of the city. Almost
every house in town carried flag
before nine o'clock Wednesday
morning and the stores report
heavy sale Of flags during the day.
This is a custom that is hoped
will grow with the passing Of ad-
ditional national holidays until every
business house and private residence
in the city will not only have a
good quality American flag Of
suitable size but viii also have n
flag staff or holder that will dis
play the flags in keeping with the
custom and honor due the national
flag
II is a lack Of appreciation Of
customs and respect 20 the flag 20
nail Il 20 the side Of a wall, or
wire h 10 a tree, or tack II across
a door top. They should be prop
erly mounted upon a flag staff and
displayed without sweeping the
ground, roof ur other obstruction,
In an uprigh or slightly inclined
position. They should no. be placed
out before sunrise nor left out af-
ter sunset.
A proper observation Of these
customs will result in greater
appreciation Of our flag and what
i stands for.

County WinDo
Much Road Work
After a Good Rail,

Workmen are busy getting the big
Avery 1850 tractor in shape for the
road work, and they expect TO start
something as soon as the ground is
wet enough TO do anything
The roads that were constructed in
the spring have been almost hope
less so far as putting them into shape
is concerned, as the dry dirt was
blown away, leaving great holes in
some places, and sharp ridges in
others, making automobile riding al
most a task.
The four Avery "road shaver" ma
chimes that were unloaded about
three week ago, are capable looking
and as they are one-man
machines the work Of putting the
roads in shape will be a matter of
only a little time.
The precinct No. l mechanics,
Tom Hollinsworth and J. Chism are
busy making arrangements to start,
and we are sure that under the di-
rections Of the able commissioner
they will make the roads leading into
the city fine for automobiling, and
the carrying Of heavy loads Of farm
products which are hauled TO mar
ket here each day.
Good roads are a necessity and the
Of our commission
