ZOOLO GISTS, who in simpler language, arc the
II bug-ologists after miorosoopically observing the
habits and conduct OF ants for years bring the in
teresting information that these busy little workers
in the humber world by their own voluntary
action the most moral OF all living creatures
The ant they tell US IS 50 intelligent that we are
justified IN trying describe Us existence by knc
OF allcgorical comparison with human LIE.
Husr as are these minute little creatures their
females are scrupuously clean. Several times each
day they better their appearance with combs and
brushes The mothers the only ones that are
allowed 10 eat all they want All others by their
established law must abstain from over eating and
drinking
Soldier ants protect both the young and those who
care for the young The mother ant Is treated with
all the Difference OF an empress. -
The ants limit their sleep 10 just that which .
their need OF and they destroy the drone and all
those who would attempt 10 ovcT-induge IN leisure
or luxury.
They have architects and engineers They build
houses and bridges TO conform with definite plans
They have their agriculture and horticulture and
have been observed TO domestoate as many as So4
different kinds OF creatures.
Wonderful is the story Of the ant Some OF our
scientists who are better BIOLOGISTS than sooologiss

AGO "Go 90 the ant thou sluggard. consider her way

great Senior Chamber OF Commerce organization.
that handles many large propositions. We have
the Junior Chamber OF Commerce. that has OF
the best working set OF young men anywhere who
take in charge OF the most important things
pertaining to Lubbock and her future greatness
and besides these two. and one that is OF no less
importance than either OF the above is the Fair
Association which is separate organization but
into which all other organizations OF the city blend
their services This organization is responsible for
the great success of the South Plains Fair We also
have the Rotary Club, the kiwanis Club and many
other clubs and associations that contribute much
thought and energy TO the civic improvements OF
the city These all work under competent leader

newspapers to suggest and give publicity TO matters
that need attention and we have come
to the point that are going TO unload some
things that we feel should have the attention OF
these organized bodies and that right soon First
of all and what Lubbock needs now, worse than
anything in a commercial way is an all night tele-
graph service Our cotton buyers. cattle rails
and business interests have grown where there
is an absolute demand for this Lubbock has grown
to the point where daily newspaper is necessary,
and the announcement OF its publication is found
elsewhere in this issue which brings on an urgent

tails its service by wire to the extent that it
will cost this publication alone more than a hun
dred dollars month for service that a town of the
size and importance of Lubbock should have with

bodies should go into this proposition Immediately
md see to it that Lubbock gets as complete tee-
graph service any town in the State The business
S here for the company to justify it, the
people find out that they get the service by
coming here for it, and should demand il Of the
telegraph company. Other things needed is a bet
er Postoffice building, and more postal clerks We
need more side walks and more paved streets. We
need new express depot and free mail delivery
and need that Junior College, which we can
have 1t we will get down 10 IT now. We need bet
ter roads all the South Plains and we need
that oil mill completed that we have commenced
and expected to have completed. These thing
must have the immediate attention of the various
organizations If Lubbock is to make the progress
that she should and is expected of her within the
next twelve months. Stay on the job folks. and

JUNIOR c. OF c. TAKE DEFINITE. ACTION
REGARDING SIDEWALKS

AT directors meeting of the Chamber of
Commerce held at the Chamber of Commerce of
fee yesterday morning. definite action taken
in the matter of securing free mail delivery for
the City of Lubbock
AS has been reiterated time and again through
the columns of this paper. certain amount OF
sidewalks must be put in before the Postoffice De
partment will grant free city mail delivery he
Junior Chamber is after this and going after
II in their usual manner OF accomplishing things
for the good of the city However only a limited
time yet remains for this work to be accomplish
ed and only with the hearty cooperation of the
citizenship of the town as a whole this great
feat be carried through.
AT recent meeting of the Board of Directors
committees were appointed for securing data and
a survey of the city with regards to the amount
and proper location of the walks that must be
built This committee reported yesterday morn
ing with all data gathered necessary the further
ing the project. Committees appointed com
posed of ]. r. Germany and A. B. Sagle chair
men, and a petition agreement will be drawn up
which petition will be carried before the property
owners of the city who have not already put in
side walks for their O. X and agreement TO build
these necessary sidewalks within limited time
as set aside by the Postoffice Department An
active canvas of the town will probably be made
this week, in charge of the above committees.
This is a movement that is very essential to
the future development of Lubbock. Many tour
and visitors to city very much surpris-
ed that we haven yet gotten far along the
free mail delivery These tourists are certainly ca
pabe to Judge town. Did you know that Lub-
book had a reputation all the State az being
the most progressive and wide-awake town Of the
State and not only in the State but the entire
southern division Of the United Statesp Are we
willing to mar this reputation just for the sake of
a few sidewalks9
The city is already making arrangements to car
ry out its part Of the contract, in fact had bids
submitted for the building of the street crossings
and the contracts will be let for these on the 18th
of this month
II is expected that the only thing that viii be
necessary to let it be known to the property
where walks are needed The rest will be
done by them. However. if gets behind
the idea that their place don't need walks and tries
to Fly up and spoil a whole street by leaving
hole in a stretch Of walk, there is a way of getting
these walks built also there is a way of making the
property owner pay for installing them. There
fore it will be Of building the walks whether
it is chosen by the property owner But
Lubbock is not composed OF that class of people,
and all that is necessary is to let them know what
Is wanted
One Of the committees will call on you in the
very near future United effort can make this
of the easiest things yet attempted in lub-
book. The Junior Chamber Of Commerce has
made the start You are expected 90 Carry On.

A MORNING PAPER FOR LUBBOCK

A number of times readers will remember
we have made the statement that when Lubbock
had Daily Paper, it would be called the Avalan-
che That time is at hand. in fact the date is
set the forces organized, and the army IS
modifying for the publication of the frs daily
paper in Lubbock and the South Plains Il is
merely another of this publication keeping
faith with the people of this city and the South
Plains and keeping step with the growth Of Lub-
book and the development of the country. The
people OF Lubbock have always been loyal 10 his
paper. The writer has been connected with its
publication since the Both day OF December
1904 and familiar with its history from the first
issue printed and the loyalty of the people of
Lubbock to the paper has been one of its Creates
assets. and they largely responsible for whatever
success the paper may have attained. OF course
