ALWAYS BETTER SOMEWHERE ELSE

II seems strange. yet II is true People the
most dissatisfied creatures on earth They always
seem 10 think they getting the worst OF the deal
his subject was discussed at recent Rotary Lunch
con Ii was brought on through the discussion Of
the street peddlers tent shows and other such con
Germs that are continually pushing themselves onto
the people of Lubbock as well as other cities of like
size II was stated by one OF the speakers that il
was some times minated to him that the reason
the people bought from peddlcrs and medicine
show folks and such like was because the prices
were too high in the Lubbock stores but this
ment was challenged by another member OF the
club, who was not in the mercantile business. but
had occasion TO make Investigations and compari-
sons, and found that the same cry heard from
people of other towns He said that Lubbock people
would contend that they could buy dry goods cheap
er in Planview than they could in Lubbock, and
Planview folks would swear that stuff was higher
there than any town in the State and there it goes.
We are Of the opinion that if people would stand
by their home concerns and give them the benefit
of their cash purchases instead Of riding the home
man on a credit and sending their cash to the mail
order house or buy gas at a local garage a credit
and 90 fifty or a hundred miles and pay cash for
stuff that could be bought at the home store just
good and just as cheap there would be better prices
everywhere and there would be real satisfaction in
living Stand by your home merchant, and you
merchants take this prescription. too. Stay with
the home producer Buy what he has to sell Pay
him the top market price and he will learn to APP
precate you more and will be a booster for you
rather than a knocker In other words. apply the
golden rule and there will be little for so much
argument and attempted oratory the part Of

improvements;
New 80 pound steel will be put

when completed will have separate

Of Lubbock will welcome these new

On the 9th of July another very important
election will be held in Lubbock II is the question
of whether or not the city OF Lubbock shall be
bonded in the sum of $l500 900. This amount OF
money is needed to put the water and sewer systems
IN condition to take of the requirements and
without this extension and improvement we can
not make any progress. either in commercial way
or in keeping health conditions they should be,
the best in this section OF the State. We are face
to face with two problems. that cannot be solved
without mroc water and sewer lines he water
suppy is not adequate to the needs OF the city
The present system designed for city OF not
more than twenty-five hundred or three thousand
people having been put in when there were less
than fifteen hundred people in the city limits. hence
il cannot possibly answer for city OF more than
six thousand The insusance companies know this
and he fire insurance commission knows it, and for
that reason the insurance key rate has been increas
ed tbs year and the difference in the insurance will
run into many thousands OF dollars in premiums,
which within a few years will amount to than
the bonds we are asking. BY passing these bonds
which are described in the notices running IN each
Friday issue OF the Avalanche this can be corrected.
and By making few other minor changes, we can
not only get the key rate reduced but can get other
credits which will mean considerable reduction in
the fire insurance premiums Of the city As have
stated before 1t is a matter OF business and peo-
ole should look at il from business view point u
will really be saving to the people OF Lubbock
in dollars and cents to vote this bond issue besides
il will give hundreds of homes water and sewer ser
vice that they cannot prossby have under the
present conditions Then the system Is entire
" too small and a very small percent OF the people
of the city enjoying the privileges OF this ser
vice which places us at the mercy OF disease germs
because OF the fact that we are unable to keep the
sanitary conditions up to the standard that we should
and which is necessary keep disease at the mini
mum A trip through the larger portion OF the
residential section of the city will reveal this fact
and there is not single person who would vote
against the bond issue for the extension OF the sewer
system If they will just take the time to investigate
the real conditions that exist. There is consider
able complaint about the odor that emits from the
cess spool This is caused, say the authorities,
by the plant not being large enough. This will be
corrected when the bonds are passed and

WISCONSIN HAS ONE-FOURTH
CONTRASTING ASSOCIATIONS

The 115 cow-.esting association In
Wisconsin, kept in operation with
the assistance Of county agents and
specialists employed comparatively
by the United States Department Of
Agriculture and the State Agricul-
tural College, equals almost one
fourth Of all the associations Of the
country Twelve Of these associa-
tons have been organized since
December /, 1921, and the member
ship in the State now numbers about
1900 farmers owning $4,000 cows.
The aims Of the associations have
been TO weed out Improbable cows
and TO feed the animals balanced
rations for maximum milk produc-
tiOn. Records ~ the associations
show the value Of high-Rrade cows
and purebred sires. Last year 1886
purebred bulls were purchased by
the associations and SO scrub bulls
replaced by purebreds in 80 associa-
tions.

SOMETHING About OUR SCHOOLS

superintendent Dupre has just completed his
report 10 the State Department Of Education, and
this report reveals some interesting figures. First
the enrolment attracts the attention OF people who
have not been keeping up with the growth and de
velopment of the Lubbock Independent School Dis
uict 1913 pupils enrolled last year and
more than 1000 will be enrolled this coming school
term. OF the number enrolled last year 923 were
boys and us girls Forty three teachers were
employed to teach this bunch. an average Of
more than forty-two pupils to the teacher. OF the
number of pupils enrolled 20 were coored IS Of
these being girls and 4 boys One colored teacher
is employed The total daily average for the nine
months was 348. ~ were promoted to higher
grades during the term and forty-two graduates
were turned out The total teaching cost for the
year per pupil $3457 this is for the teaching
alone.
The Lubbock school is cassed by the State De.
partment as Al and is the best school OF its size
in the State II this can be said Of IT under the
conditions that have existed during the past two
years how easily il will be to outstridc our neigh
bors when we get these wonderful new buildings in
operation and the money derived from school taxes
will come in TO help keep the school climbing Our
good schools will attract many OF the very finest
people in the land to city and it will be worth
many times what it will cost to have these mag
nificent schools. Come to Lubbock

FARMERS ORGANIZATIONS

The Avalanche is and ever has been in favor
of everything that destined to offer any assistance
to the Plains farmer in any manner and we heartily
endorse the plans Of some Of the organizations
which have as their aim the elevation Of that indus
try
We believe in the Plains farmer. in the farmer
of Texas and the farmer OF any other section OF
the country and want to see them progress in every
conceivable manner and strong for any or
ganzation which has its objective the bringing
about Of better marketing. producing and living
conditions for that great Of people. and want
every man who reads this paper to know that the
farmer has always and WILL receive square deal
so far as the Avalanche is concerned. But we
want the farmers Of this section to know what is
back OF the organizations which they join.
The Farm Bureau is a great institution. and
has saved thousands Of dollars for the people OF the
Plains. and Lubbock County. The Wheat Grow
ers Association is great institution. which is doni
some effective work. The Livestock Breeders As
ISOLATION is equally substantial and equally as
productive of good. There number OF organiza-
tons which have splendid opportunities 10 develop
into effective agencies for the elevation Of the
farmer a class. and heartily endorse them.
But we think there too many organizations based
upon a constructive legitimate basis for any farmer
to waste good time and money dabbling with or
CARNATIONS which have their object the winning
Of some scrap" which is wholly imaginative. whose
organizers are waving red handkerchief into
blank space. and bowling for the Woodworking

very closely to follow them in attempt to bring
the rest of the world both financial and industrial
to a realization Of the fact that they are powerful
and should be recognized Such organizations are
not founded upon the solid basis Of constructive
ness. and any farmer who will think the matter
over seriously for few minutes will readily see
