WHEN BANKERS HELP.

We have noticed that bankers willing to
help those who are willing to help themselves.
Ry this statement is meant those who show some de-
gree Of thrift and determination to succeed. Bank
e. study conditions closely. They observe things
duly. They become acquainted with the condi-
tons Of the community in which they live and when
il is within their power TO assist they are always
willing to assist the fellow that is using good judg
nent in matters Of finance Bankers not will
n. to finance farmers who insist planting cotton,
cotton, cotton, regardless of the price and think
they cannot live and and have their be
ing unless they are dragging a cotton sack doing
something that pertains to the raising Of cotton. On
the other hand we note through the papers and
from various sources that the banks are willing 10
help those people who willing 10 engage in
dairying poultry raising, and general diversified
program. The banker knows that Il 10 a safe pro
position 10 fnaHce a man who has all these chances

DIVERSITY

This is the word that means so much TO the
farmers and everyone else. The prosperity OF the
community depends largely upon the prosperity Of
the farmer and the prosperity OF the farmer de
ponds much upon the method Of farming he will
adopt during the next few years There may be
a temptation 10 plant great lot Of cotton this year.
but this temptation should not be allowed to get
the upper hand Of the wise thinking farmers Of this
section and them 10 depart from the dversi-
fcation plans that have kept this country in much
better condition the past year than many other sec
tons People who have travelled about the
State and in many other States will tell you that
the conditions in the South Plains section much
favorable than most anywhere else. and the
fact that dversification has been practced extern
sively the South Plains is the this condi-
ton exists Some people (not very many cry
hard times. and talk hard times but this is not
common in this country in the crop-cotton
country. Our farmers in good shape when
compared with farmers Of other sections Our
farmers have chickens butter and eggs hogs. etc.
which provide them mighty good living right at
home and they have plenty OF feed stuff to carry
their work stock. dairy cows. hogs. chickens tur-
keys and such like right along. and this is a great
help to them. II farmers will adhere strictly
to the rule OF diversfcaton they will not suffer.
and the South Plains will continue to prosper and
continue good people from other sections
Of the country who will come and join hands in
making this of the richest agricultural sections
Of the Southwest Plant a big crop Of diversifi-
cation.

a lot Of you mushy mouthed citizens who have
boys and girls about the right age to take to gamb-
ling had better wake up and protect your homes in
this great country Of ours you and will be turn
ing out a bunch of professional gamblers before we
know il. Influences which cannot control should
be stamped out. and this gambling influence is the
one that cannot be controlled, therefore rise up in
your might and let's stamp il out. Quit gambling
in the home first then put a stop TO the clubs and
lodges that maintain places for gaming. Some Of
the good old sisters Of this town who taught their
sons to play cards at home need not be surprised
20 see his name on the criminal docket Of the court
most any time under a charge Of gambling and the
dad who spends a lot OF his time playing pool can
not blame his son for following his example, and
only because OF the fact that the son oftmes is
so disguised with the way dad does, is the reason
that he too. is not sorry pa. Straighten
up your own lives folks, and the old towns morals
will uaghten themselves. Buzzards found
only where there is rotten carcas and this Is large
" true with The immoral element They would
not stick around If there was not something here
for them to stick around for.

n Asst Saturdays regatta at
Princeton was rowed under the

Joe Wright of Pennsylvania. was the
finest thing of its kind yet devised

1t was agreed that IL any crew had
any accident with its oars or riggers
or it's shellsT-any trouble other than
with sliding seats-in the first half
mile the race was to be started over
again. This was in sharp contrast
with the old accident recall, which
held good for only thirty seconds
after the start.
If any accidents of the kind named
occurred before the mile was reached

speed, but the champion was unable to
find an opening in Johnstons court
The day was one of the warmest OF
the season and the sun was intensely
bright on the asphalt court Tilden. in
the--third set, seemed to feel the ef-
fects Of the heat.
The first set went to Johnston. rs.
Both started playing in deep back court
and made placements in the corners and
on the sidelnes with lightning rapdity.
Johnston obtained lead of 5--2 before
Tilden was able to find the sidelines.
Then the Fastener evened the score.
Johnston took the next two games by
jockeying Tilden out of position, fore
ing him to make errors. Tilden made
the greater number of placements. but
his greater number of errors lost for
him.
In the second set, which went to Til
den 81, Johnston annexed two games
before Tilden got started. Then the
champion, by deep driving and short
chopping. took five games In a row.
Johnston then won the next four games
and Tilden took the succeeding two and
the set. In the seventh game Tilden was
able to pass Johnston, who took the
net four times for sure placements.
Tilden Slowed Up.

third set, which went to Johnston FL
Before Tilden, who could not find the
lines. became steady. the little West
erner took five games. The fastener
then secured his only game of this set
| and Johnston ran out the winning
game.

set. Tilden tried hard to pass him,
but the Westerner put the ball down
opposite side lines and cross courted
Tilden many times.
The first, second and sixth games or
the set were won without Tilden OBJ
tanning a point. Johnston played all
over the court and his drives from
back court landed just inside Tiiden's
lines for placements.
