OPENING PLAINS LAND TO FARMERS

The announcement this week OF a thous
and acre tract of fine farming land being subdivid-
ed and put on the market in way that farmers
can buy it and have money left for improvement
purposes, is good news for the South Plains. This
is the John Petit Ranch, owned by Spencer
Brothers Of Cisco and they are going to in this
way open the door to about fifty farmers. which
will mean great deal to the South Plains in the
way Of development These gentlemen have been
investigating conditions throughout the State. and
they find hiatt the cotton farmers OF East Texas
have fully decided that West Texas is the place to
raise cotton and for that they confident
that this proposition will not remain open very long
The farmers OF the east who have had their crops
repeatedly eaten up by boil weevil are going to
move and they viii grasp this opportunity soon
as offered them This is the move that the Avalan-
che has been looking for and we have for some
time seen the need of cutting the large bodies OF
land into smaller tracts thereby furnishing a large
number of people with homes who do not at this
time enjoy such privileges We hope this idea will
continue to spread and that thousands OF acres Of
the rich lands of the South Plains will be opened
for the farmer

INSPECTOR SAYS LUBBOCK SCHOOLS BEST
WORKING SCHOOLS IN THE STATE

Lubbock will probably have the hardest pull
this year she will have with the schools. on ac-
count Of the crowded condition of the school The
fine new building will not be completed before the
end of the present term, and the superintendent IS
having to scheme around great deal in order to
take care of the demands upon the Lubbock
schools this term The rolls show a heavy increase
in the number al the beginning of the school term
and more are coming and it is expected that the
enrolment will reach close to $500 in the district
before the close Of the school term. Even with all
this handicap the Inspector of schools gave Lub
book credit for having the best working school
she had visited on her rounds This certainly
speaks well for Lubbock and the management of the
schools and is IA matter that is worthy of consdera
ton

We note with pleasure that the idea of Jun
Tor college in Lubbock is attracting a lot of ia
vorable notice by the people of this city, and We
feel sure that the only thing that is needed to put
this over for next year is get the proposition in
presentable FORM so that definite steps be
taken toward the consumption of the transaction.
there are no grounds whatever for any argument
against it, because it is a plain example Of saving
more money than it will to maintain it, and at
the same time give hundreds of high school grad
yates chance to get at least couple of years
Junior college education that they would never ge,
il such a college was not established 1t would
mean a long step toward better education. Let
go after this junior college at Lubbock.

The market was in no mood TO-

SHORTAGE IN WEEK
SENDS BUTTER UP

Chicago, April 15.-An acute
shortage of butter, characteristic
of the month of April, developed
during the week ending today and
sent prices to higher levels, &C
cording to the weekly review of
the United States bureau of mar
kets. By Thursday the price of
90 score had advanced from 1 Il
to 81 cents, and it was not until
toward the close, when the mar
kets became easier, that there were
supply and demnd.
Recent havey rains and generally
bad weather have caused a delay
in receipts and also has resulted
in a poor quality.
Despite light supplies on all the
markets there was no real conf
dence among the operators.
Everyone realized that it would take
but a small increase in the sup
plies, or a small decrease in the
demand to cause a break. AS a
result when the available supply at
New York late Thursday became
only slightly larger there, there
was an immediate weakening of
the market which resulted in
decline on Friday. Other markets,
through sympathy, Immediately be-
ban to weaken and at the close
there were indications that the
short conditions would soon get
relief.

LAWRENCE SAYS
WILSON HEALTH
Is MUCH BETTER
(Consinped from First Page.)

He received a remarkable ovation
last Wednesday when he attended
a matinee of "Ziegfeld Follies."
Attention has been focused again
on the question of Mr.. Wilson's
health because he has seen fit to
take issue publicly with his former
secretary, Joseph Tumulty. The
incident is still the sensation of
the hour, with all sorts of explana-
tons being offered in political cir
cles as to the causes of the Wilson
letter to a New York newspaper
repudiating the message conveyed
by Mr.. Tumulty to a political din
ner at which former Governor Cox
of Ohio made the principal address.
The feeling between the McAdoo
and Cox factions of the Democratic
party is very intense and it was
generally believed hereabouts that
the McAdoo wing of the party had
been influential in getting Mr.. Will
son to repudiate the Tumulty mes
sage. Many of the McAdoo follow
ers have felt that Mr. Tumulty
might have assisted them material
ly by taking sides in the pre-con-
vention fight which eliminated in
the nomination of Governor Cox in
1920
SidestepS Party Fight.
The factionalism in the Demo-
cratic party is so intense that many
Democrats of national prominence
have despaired of harmony. Mr.
Cox's speeches have been so OBJ
viously in support of the major
Wilson policies, especially the
League of Nations, that Mr.. Wilson
cannot take sides against him no
matter how friendly he might wish
to be to the other factions AS for
the McAdoo supporters, there is no
evidence to show they are receiv-
ing any direct encouragement from
MIR. Wilson. There is, on the con-
trary, every reason to believe that
for the present at least Mr.. Wilson
is trying to keep hands of and is
anxious to have the Democrats of
the country know he is maintaining
absolute neutrality. This may be
one reason why he was irritated
over the use made of the Tumulty
by some OF those who in
terpreted it as friendly to the po-
litical fortunes of James NJ. Cox.
Mr.. Wilson is getting better physi-
cally, but it is doubtful whether he
will ever get into the political fray
again.

Bond Market

New York, April 16.-The ae-
mand for foreign government eA-
ternaI loans and domestic railway
mortgages kept trading in the bona
market today at maximum volume
and sent many issues to new nigh
prices. Liberty bonds were mad.
erately active and little change
from Thursdays close. French
municipals rose fracoionally and
the rest of the group slightly or
held firm.
In the railway section, numerous
advances to new highs included the
Seaboard Air Line adjustment os
to around 30, in sympathy with the
strength of Seaboard stocks. rms
display of strength was due to the
report that the financial position
of the Seaboard had been greatly
helped by a government loan.
The flotation of the $15,000,0O0
30 year five per cent province OF
Ontario bonds this week was
favorable influence in the New
York market for Canadian Provin-
cial bonds. The market was active
and very strong. Ontario SIS OF
1923 were 99A bid, offered at
1904 the 51z's of 1887 were 1922
bid offered at 10314 and the 6's OF
1943 were 107 bid, offered at 1914.
Manitoba SIS of 1880 were 100A
bid, offered at 101; the 51s's of
1912 were 102x bid, offered at 102H
and the 6's of 1916 were los bid,
offered at 1861.

Curb Market
BY STUART P. WEST
Copyright, 1872

New York, April 15-Oil shares
were the outstanding features of
the curb exchange today. There
was urgent buying of Standard Oil
of Indiana from the beginning OF
the session and that stock reached
a new high record. Mexican Sea-
board also acted we'll. At the open
ing profit taking caused a drop OF
about a point, but renewed buying
developed and sharp recovery fol-
lowed Floor traders have been
selling the oils recently because
they did not share in the advances
which took place in other depart
ments, and covering was response
BILE for part of the advance which
took place today. Attention was
given to issues which are likely to
be benefited by the higher prices
in gasoline, and this was the chief
topic of discussion among the buy
ers of Standard Oil of Indiana.
In the miscellaneous group there
was considerable irregularity.
Traders apparently abandoned
many of these stocks temporarily
and gave their attention to the oils

There were no developments in
with the company's af-
fairs so far as could be learned,
but the floor was inclined to at
tribute the strength to improvement
in the mining situation generally.
Some of the leading commission
houses were large buyers of bonds.
The market was firm and advances
were quite general.
