SHOOTING STARS.
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON.
An Old Story,

An Old Story.
My grandsire said, "The world is
wrong,
And men are much to blame"
My great-grandfather's grief was
strong.
His words were much the same.
My great-great-grandsire was morose.
He wrote in language terse
OF morals which, grown comatose,
Sent earth from bad to worse.
And yet this old world smiles anew,
In spite Of all unrest.
Thanks to the patient plodding few
Who hope and do their best.

Evolves a language all her own,
With lips to melody alive

Days Of Real Sport.

A contrast which will appeal to
most Americans Is offered by the race
between the Canadian and Yankee
fishermen. 1t Is not a drifting match
between racing machines, with rough
weather barred. In fact. the duel be-
tween Blue Nose and Henry Ford is
for blood. 1t Is contest Of fighting
men and fighting craft, ships and men
who know what war, the ceaseless
war of the great deep. is. and. in our
opinion. 1t Is worth all the Americas s
toric victory in British waters. 1t is
sport in its highest form, because it
calls for moral qualities Of the hjeh.
est order, as well as for an exhibition
Of a seamanship which cannot be sur
passed In any part Of the round globe.
The schooners are out of the fishing
fleet, built not for tricks, but for the
heroic service Of the stormiest waters
in the world. Probably there is not
much immediate utility in the contest.
but there Is a higher utility in the
exhibition of = skill and character
that serve humanity in examples Of

rs BALES CINNED HERE
SATURDAY. PlCKERS NEEDED

ll5 bales Of cotton were ginned
mere saturday, bringing the total
number OF bales ginned here % date
past. the thousand mark
The staple sold at 10 ~ cents,
with seed nc S2i.
The greatest cry for help at this
time is by the farmers who are eager
10 have their cotton gathered before
the winter weather sets in, and the
demand is far past the supply OF
available hands.
The Chamber Of Commerce has
worked incessantly and faithfully
for the farmers in trying to bring
hands here. but owing to the fact
that the continued dry weather
caused the Plains crop 10 open n
great deal earlier than usual, and
that at this time cotton picking is
i'm full sway farther east, the ex-
treme West Texas counties are all
experiencing like difficulties in Sc
curing pickers.
From sl.25 to S1.5O is paid the
pickers. with 25c less when board
is furnished.
While opinions differ greatly as TO
the total yield or Lubbock county
this year, a good many have express
cd the belief that the total number
Of bales for the season will exceed
last years production, increased
acreage being responsible for this
opinion.
From close survey Of the pro-
position. il Is seen that those most
familiar with conditions about over
the country are most optimistic
