said that the Junior Chamber Of
Commerce has everything TO finish
that the Senior Chamber starts and

The possibilities Of placing a bat
terry Of Calvary here was discussed
by Major Adams, who pointed cut
that the Federal Government Is plac-
ing these companies in the various
towns in West Texas without dona-
tions or extra attractions TO the
companies and stressed the fact that
il would be an asset to Lubbock and
in no wise a liability. He pointed
out that forty calvary trained horses
would be brought here for the use
of the men, that fifty men and four
officers would be enlisted from Lub-
book. and that the drill periods would
be placed in such manner as TO not
interfere with the young mems work.
In another place in this issue can
be found later developments of this
work, Secretary Keen of the Cham
Der OF Commerce is awake and on the
Job OF getting this company in Lub-
book. and will enlist the assistance
Of other live wires in the town to
care for this work.
Prof. Mowery, instructor of the
Animal Husbandry Class in the high
school. was called on TO explain how
the Lubbock boys won the Canyon
Contests. and in a brief way outlin-
ed the manner in which the contests
were conducted, and about the big
gest thing he had to talk about was
the fact that as individuals the four
boys were outstanding characters in
the work, and as a team proved them
selves champions for West Texas by
winning over the other teams by one
hundred and twenty-six points. Mr..
Mowery is an alert instructor. and
the Lubbock high school is fortunate
20 have him teach Animal Husbandry,
as even the boys admit that a great
part Of the success Of the team is at
tribute % Mr. Mowery's close ap-
plication TO the work. The entire
body Of the Junior Chamber Of Com

20 his work. and all realize the good
the reputation that class b. making

the people here would be overjoyed
TO know that a factory would be To-
Gated here, and yet these men con-
stitute a more progressive citizen
ship, spend a bigger salary in Lub-
