sssary in the making Of a town
may not be thoroughly known to
ux. but we believe we saw 4 all IN
one house Thursday noon, when
the Kiwanis Club, celebrating their
defeat in baseball by the Rotary
team. banqueied the winning club,
a. the Robinson Furniture store
building
President Hutchinson introduced
the chairman ~ the day, = X

things going. by Introducing umpire
Of the game. Red kuykendail,
and asked him 20 explain the rea-
sen for the Kwanian's being de-
fcated by the Roiarians IN that
sysntful game, but owing 90 the
fact that Red" had made hair
shifting decisions for both teams,
and has somewhat fear Tor the
SINGING of table hardware, didn't
explain the game IN detail ana
brought his speech" 20 close by
stafinv that he was glad the game
had beer played and tha, the ceie-
bratiun was made IN the manner
II was
Smylic Wilson. while a little of
Of Red" welcomed the visitors ~
that long. drawn-out oratoricnl meth
cd. known only 90 the hiwanis
spell binders, which met with APP
provnl from his hearers.
,. A. Rix, better known as ko-
fary Jed. responded TO the words
Of welcome, and insomuch as he
IS about the best speaker the ko.
tarians have, got BY with i IN all
the pomp and exartncss with which
ne trnnsacts his personal business
affairs Jed IS alright. and the
Jokes he sprung on the bunch
were appropriate and % the point.
A B Spencer, Of Croshyton,
president of the West Texas Cham
bcr Of Commerce. made very in
tercsiing tnlk IN regard 20 the Fort
Worth Plains railroad. and said -
vas his opinion that SOME concrete
action would be taken toward cs-
fahlishing that road before many
days Many complimentary things
were spoken In rcgard 20 the SPLEEN
did spirit % cooperation that eN-
ists here. and assured his hearers
fhat he was always glad 60 be IN
Lubbock and o. associate with the
renple who have made The existence
of this wonderful spirit possible.
The Kiwauis Club, while a young
creature. has had the opportunity
10 introduce 90 the people OF Lub-
book some of the most alluring
spell binders in the city, and pleased
thosr who were fortunate enough 70
hear the address OF Judge g. W. Fos-
ter. on Mutual Benefits 20 accrde
from such meeting az this. After
kidding Red" about his crooked
eye, and crookeder disposition. the
Judge settled down 20 talking on
the more serious part Of the sub
jeet. bringing home % his hearers
many facts relative 10 better living
10 make better towns. and said that
80 far as he is concerned Lubbock
needed no citizens whose concep-
ton OF town loyalty was To live in
a house here, pay taxes on a little
property. and set back TO see what
The other fellow is going TO do to
enhance the value Of that property.
"What Il takes TO build town Is
those elements Of character that
10 20 making happy individual,
whose conception Of life is 20 be
DfItV All Ilt Nllil' nWlNk NOAH'AhANt
for the good of his neighbor,' Is
about the way the Judge summed
up the work Of making Lubbock.
The same subject, from dif-
fereht angle, was discussed by Ro-
tartan w. $. Posey, who proved
beyond, even Kiwanian's doubt,
thnt the Rotary Club is well stocked
with stump speakers Of the ablest
variety, who claimed the Judge had
used up his Thunder" but when
he had gotten through with kiwan-
ran Kinch Carter and Smylie Will
son, and Rotarian James l.. Dow u
didn't look like anything had been
left out, he romped on those boys
from the time they landed in Lub-
eock until the doxology had been
sung at that meeting, and from all
accounts he was right about Il for
they offered no comeback whatever.
Anyhow Walter Posey has learned
the great lesson of Service be-
fore SELF and has never laid down
on the job Of serving the town Of
Lubbock IN the most efficient man
ner possible. What he got ON the
hoys about was the fact that when
they all came 10 Lubbock there was
plenty time for discussing every
thing from business TO politics and
used this as an illustration 20 drive
nome the fact that Lubbock u now
a busy town, and a.. time for friend

men Is forgotten IN the rush VI

meetings a. the weekly lunehcons

alive the fire of friendship esiah-
l,shed and maintained throughout
