THE VALUE OF A SPARROW

How startling the words must have
seemed to his audience that day in
Palestine when Jesus pictured fall
ing sparrow as attracting the atten-
ton Of God; Paul thought God didn't
care for oxen. Jesus says he cares
for sparrows. Few in those far-of
days imagined that Heaven concerned
itself with anything SO trifing as an
animal.
Only as we put ourselves back into
that distant century and gather with
the crowd of those who listen to the
new teacher out on the hillside, or by
the quiet lake, can we understand how
these words about the value of a spar
row must have shocked his audience.
1t seemed quite as amazing to them
as if some one among US should say,
"Not an insect is crushed beneath
your needless foot whose doom your
heavenly father does not mark"
What does it all mean? This-that
the higher you climb up the ladder OF
| life, the wider your vision, the broad
er your sympathies, the quicker. your
response to the need of every living

From the personal column there popped
out at him three lines that caught his
attention:

He read 1t again. There could be
no doubt in the world. It was adj

remembered that Oh the bus he had
casually mentioned to her that he
usually read the Herald.
| After he had eaten, Clay walked
down Broadway and left note at the
| Office of the Herald for Kitty.
The thought of her was in his mind
all day. He had worried a good deal
over her disappearance. 1t was not
alone that he felt responsible for the
loss Of her place as cigarette girl. One
disturbing phase of the situation was
that Jerry Durand must have seen her.
What more likely than that he had
arranged to have her spirited away?
Lindsay had read that hundreds of
girls disappeared every year in the
city. If they ever came to the surface
again 1t was as jewellers In that I'M

Boy Scouts Are Spending Three
Days at Lake Near Post City
With Scoutmaster Rev. W. A. Bowen

The s-out age is twelve years,
and an associate troupe is being or
ganized in which boys of nine, ten
and eleven years Of age are eligible
for membership, and with Mr.. Sem
sabaugh showing the same aggres-
siveness and enthusiasm in this work
that has characterized his activities
in all work placed upon him by the
Rotary club, we are sure that It viii
be but few weeks until the scouts
may look upon their smaller broth
ers with admiration for the work
they will be capable Of doing.
The Rotary Club Boys Commit
tee is composed Of o. L. Sensa-
baugh, chairman, Rev. w. A. Bow
en- and C. A. Ballinger, and the
things they have done in promoting
the interest Of the boys enthrones
them in the hearts Of every lad ac-
ouainted with their activities.
May the Rotary club continue in
its good work Of advancing the well
fare of Lubbock's future business
men is our greatest wish.

DAVIS SIGNS UP WITH
BRONCHOS AS CATCHER

Tom j. Davis, well known local
man, has signed with the San An
gelo Bronchos as catcher, and left
the latter part Of the week for
Clovis, where he will report to that
club.
Davis, although young man, Is
an old experienced baseball player,
having played very little profession
al ball, but was connected with the
winning amateur club Of the state
for a year or two. He has been
working out with different clubs as
they came here to tie with the Hub
bers, and has shown some mighty
good stuff, but has just recently
made up his mind TO give, up his
job here and go into baseballdom.
We doubt not that the Bronchos
are lucky in getting him on the dot
ted line. and wish for him the best
Of luck.

Boys are boys" and should have
something to keep them busy, thinks
the local Rotary club, and as a
special Boys Committee was ap-
pointed some time ago to foster the
Boy Scouts organization, which was
composed Of men who know boys
with parental understanding and a
keen realization of the responsible
ties that were placed upon them,
the boys Of Lubbock are well cared
for and the work the Rotary com
mttee is doing for them is wonder
full.
With about thirty-eight of the
scoutingest Scouts that ever scout
ed, as Mr.. Katzenjammer would put

Rotarians. and boys friend who
is really a friend. left Lubbock at
seven o'clock Monday morning for
the Two Draw lake near Post City.
where they will spend three days
on scout encampment.
Boating, swimming and fishing
will be the main features of the oc-
casion, and as there are some pretty
well trained scouts in the crowd,
we are sure that encampment will
be one of the most talked of affairs
that has ever been put over by the
Rotary club.
Unestimable has been the value
of the work done in this work by
o. L. Sensabuagh. chairman Of the
committee. who has taken the work
into hand with a determination to
accomplish something that was evi-
denced in the aggressiveness when
he has shown in every matter per-
tanning TO scout work.
Rev. Bowen is Scout Master, and
the high regard the boys have for
him makes the work more interest
ing, and their willingness TO abide
by all rules laid down by him has
gone long ways toward making
the organization the success Il -.
There are three regular meetings
held each week. beginning at eight

when Fay Sawyer takes the boys
to a local swimming pool in the af-
ternoons TO be instructed In life

est Is being taken in this work, and
