THE FOOLISH VIRGINS

A resolution indorsing the proposition OF bring
inc the all-Panhandle Fair TO Amarillo its home
city was passed by the kiwanis Club at its lunch
con Wednesday at the Amarillo hotel. The reso-
luton was passed following stirring and even
castigating address by Roy C. Barnum. MIR. Bar
mum told his fellow Kiwanians that if Amarillo
rocked along she had the past ten years the city
would lose thic Fair as she had lost other de
sirable things He declared that If the Fair went
elsewhere the entire Panhandle would be disap-
pointed in Amarillo. His talk warmly APP
plauded and the resolution was unanimously pass
ed-Amarilo News of last Thursday Morning
Amarillo is very much in the shape that the
foolish virgins were. the story OF which is related
in the twenty fifth chapter of Matthew he story
is told of ten virgins who went forth to meet the
bridegroom Five wise and five were foolish
The wise took plenty of oil with them and kept
their lamps trimmed and burning and in it be
necessary had extra supply with them to refill
their lamps and be able to keep going the others
took only what happened to be in their lamps at
the time and went to sleep. The bride groom
came but their oil was all gone and by the time
they could get back with their lamps refilled, the
door shut
Amarillo several years ago had an opportunity
TO put over big fair proposition. She let the oppor
tunity slip. The wide awake people OF the South
Plains proceeded ito organize real fair at Lubbock
which has been running for nine successive and
we will add success fu years and II is husky Cal
fair now and is atrac Ing the attention and admira-
ton of the folks everywhere Amarillo is now try
ing to come back and organize fair at that place,
but she is unable to accomplish her purpose Her
people have slept and Lubbock people have stayed
on the job and the logical place for this region
al fair is at the Hub of the Plains and here it will
be. Amarillo, in all her would-be bigness might
just as well make up he mind to throw in with
the Hub of the Plains and make the Panhandle
and South Plains fair their fair.
Wasted opportunities have caused much gnef
in the past and will continue 10 do so but there is
a remedy in this case. the remedy is the South
Plains Fair at Lubbock

LUBBOCK LEGIONAIRE AT NEW ORLEANS
SHOWS A LOT OF PEP

Lubbock citizens wherever they go. attract at.
tenton by their continual boosting OF their home
town and the South Plains country. The American
Legions had a great Convention at New Or
leans, and some of the Lubbock boys attend
ed, and the people of Orleans knew tina, mere is d
place called Lubbock and that it is of the vest
places in Texas The following paragraph from
one of the reports of the convention reads:
In cafes State songs sung at tables at break
fast lunch and dinner and at a. m. suppers also.
The Texans favorte song is The Eyes of exas
Are Upon You. Texas delegates stop scores Of
passersby and astond them by asking Have you
seen the old gray marep" And the innocent men
and women try hard for a moment to recall if they
cen such an animal
Even street stopped by the Texans
8nd conductors asked that question. However. is
al right New Orleans doesn't care and is enjoy
ing it a. much as the buddies As a matter of fact

lbs amusing to notice how many towns on the
Plains just have to have that all-Plains Fair
When it all settled and the furry is and the
time comes to PUNK down the wherewith to take
care Of the deal there won't be any Of them at
home Lubbock has the best STRAIT OF any town

belonging to the association and it's all paid for
but even then there is not enough buildings and
equipment We need $4,000 more to put it up
to where it should be to take Of the increas-
ing number OF exhibits each year. and in all pro-
liability Lubbock and he South Plains will put
this much more into the fair next year 1t will take
$60.0 900 or 100000 to put up a fair proposition
good Lubbock has The wise thing for the
South Plains towns to do is to invest small
amount of money in the Panhandle South Plains
Fair at Lubbock and the balance OF the money
they would otherwise spend in developing their
town along other lines. The big opportunity Of
building an All Plains Fair Of the proper kind
has been put on ice by the longheaded. progressive
people Of the South Plains by building one at Lub-

PARIS, Dec. 20 (Associated Press. -
Pronounced Improvement was noted
to-day in the condition or Sarah Bern
iardt, famous French actress. While
not minimizing the seriousness OF her
case, the attending physicians this
afternoon expressed the belief that she
was out Of danger for the present.
1t seemed almost as though that
miracle which the physicians said was
necessary TO save her life had hap
pened. Maurice Bernhardt, her son,
Said this evening that the improve
nlent was SO marked that the doctors
had permitted several intimate friends
to visit the patient
Reports that Nine Bernhard was
dying spread throughout the city yes
terday, following her relapse IN the
early morning hours. when she suffered
fainting spell similar TO that with
which she was first stricken last Sun
day during the final rehearsal of the
new Gutry play in which sho was to
have appeared the following evening.
These reports caused her home to be
bos'eged all day to-day by social, po-
litical and theatrical personagss to IN
guire Of her condition.
What she now needs IS complete rest
for many weeks. her doctors say. but
TO the energetic woman the Idea OF
inactivity is most repulsive.
Rest? can't rest-!f / die ! would
die" she Is reported TO have told her
advisers.
Cable messages and telegrarns have
been received from many countries. in-
Guiding the United States. expressing
sympathy and hope for recovery.
Discussing his mothers condition.
Maurice Bernhard told the Associated
Press: I'VE believe she is out Of dan
ger. although at her age II is unsafe
to make predictions until she has COM
pletely recovered. She Is still very
weak and needs a long rest. All her
theatrical plans necessarily are out OF
the question Tor u long time"
Nine Bernhardts physicians said to-
night tina. they would issue no COM
munique in view OF the change for the
better. One hopeful sign, they added,
was that their patient was again taking
interest In food.
For the members Of her household one
OF the biggest problems Is to keep Bern
hardt's mind off the theater. which Is
expected TO prove difficult task
