he gave his talk Keep You

His topic this morning. however
was complete surprise being
"Chins Up. short inSpirat'ona

lecturer drew a rapid but viviC
picture OF the George Washing

most scientific and farsIghtec
farmer in America.

planned, although ordinarily spo
ken of as first in war. first il
peace and first in the hearts o.
his countrymen, was in his owr
heart of hearts a farmer first
last and always. He idealizet
farming, and was content to
spend his later years as tiller oi
the soil"
Using Washington as an ex-
ample OF the man who idealized
his job, Mr.. Speed made the
statement that the drift OF the
farmers and their families to the
cities was not because OF the
bright lights, the jazz music and
entertainment; but because life
on the farm had never been
equalized.
Whoever heard a farmer tell
his son that farming was a pro-
fession or that it was any thing
but a dirty, mean job?" asked
the speaker. "At the same time
physicians, nurses dentists. ac-
tors and artists have idealized
their Jobs no matter how hard
and dirty and mean they are"
Friday afternoon, Mr.. Speed
talked to several classes at regu-
lar periods and to the new de-

LUBBOCK COWBOYS TAKE
TWO STRAIGHT FROM CRAfS

Sunday afternoon on the Anna
rillo diamond. the Lubbock Cow
boys took the second Of a series
with the Amarillo Grays by a score
Of 10 TO 4. This game, as was the
one Saturday, was spotted with long
bingles and many Of them. The
Grays were absolutely unable 10 10.
cate the apple from the plate, and
except for errors would not have
been able 10 get on bases.
Schmidt opened the fracas, and
was relieved by Dunnigan about the
middle Of the race. Both were
working fine and as the old saying
goes, made monkeys Of the ANA
rillo club. They were unable TO do
anything with them.
Manager Rankin Johnson, OF the
Amarillo Grays, was repeatedly ad-
vised by his own fans 10 dig him
up ball club.
The Lubbock Club went up for
a two-game series only, but decided
to stay over Monday and see II
there was a possible chance TO get
beat out. They win probably re-
turn Tuesday.

TWO LOCAL GOLF PLAYERS
MAKE RECORD SHOTS

Eric Posey, few days ago, while
playing on the local golf course,
scored a birdie, Three on No. j,
which is a par five hole Of five
hundred and eight yards.
II is expected that this record
will never be equalcd on this course.
DR.. Geo. Reed who is no doubt
the longest driver with the locals,
hitting on an average OF 25O to
300 yards has record Of three
hundred and eighty-five (3s5) yard
drive. This distance has not been
beaten on but few occasions In the
history Of golf, so as records show,
and very few professionals can
boast Of drive Of nearly a quar-
ter mile.
Owing 90 the fact that this club
II hardly a year old and the most
Of the men absolutely green on the
subject Of golf when organized, we
think this Is n remarkable record,
and what will they be doing with
that ball when they have gained
the experience that some have.
