STIRRING
WESTERN STATES

In Minnesota the women jury
service, with other suffrage rights,
is being tabooed, all on account of
women serving on the jury having
TO spend the night in a locked room
with men members Of the jury. The
governor of that state has declared
that he would demand Of the next
session of the legislature a remedy
TO provide something different.
The governor declared it an OUT
rage, and the law that permit Dc
should be changed and not tolerated
in any courts. Not only does the
Executive Of the state disaprOve Of
the practice, but many ardent be-
levers in the rights Of women are
fighting the practice. In some
counties in the state the courts have
decided to ignore the right Of
women to serve on the jury.
In some other states this question
Of barring the women from certain
places in state and county affairs
is being discussed in courts, and Is
becoming a campaign issue.
The women, however. say it is
their right and they should exercise
II. II Is only a matter OF a snort
time they say, that the husbands
who are opposed 10 their wives be-
ing locked in a room over night with
men, would soon get accustomed TO
il and would think nothing about IL.
One woman leader. and one who
was on a jury over night, says, we
must perform the obligations inn
posed upon us regardless Of the
conventions which would interfere
with our new duties. As wives get
an insight into these duties and
obligations formerly performed en-
tirely by the husbands, their point OF
view will change from many old
fashioned notions. Men, too, are
being broadened by the mental de-
velopment Of their wives in per-
forming civic duties, and believe
will give the conventions less con-
sideration in proportion as they in
terfere with women in performing
such public service

RAIN is WORTH MANY
THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS

About one-half inch rain fell here
Sunday night, worth many dollars
to the country and putting a sea-
son in the ground that will enable
the farmers 20 90 90 work preparing
their ground FOR another crop From
what we can find out the rain was
generally an over the South Plains.
Tuesday morning message from
Terry county stated that a little
more than one-half inch rain fell
in that part Of the country and was
still raining. This. with the three
inch snow that fell last week will
put enough moisture in the ground
20 revive the wheat that Is stil in
the ground, and what Is now up
viii be putting on a wheat field
appearance.

This letter is addressed to you
for the purpose Of securing your CO.
operation in an enterprise that is
supreme Importance 20 our coun-
try, state and community.
After the close of the war many
Of the best military and civilian
minds of the country were called in
conference upon the problems of de-
vising plans for our national and
community defenses that would be
adequate but never the less be har-
monious with American ideals and
would not multiply the already one
rous burdens Of the tax payers.
The result was that Congress re-
duced our Standing Army 70 a low
minimum, made certain plans for
skeletonized reserve, and called up
on the citizenship of the country TO
contribute TO our First Line Of de-
Tense our wartime Guard Divisions
reOrganized at peace strength under
veteran Officers.
OF such high importance TO the
country is the problem Of perfecting
our citizen reserve forces that Gen
eral Pershing has assumed specifi-
cally the task Of perfecting our Ma
tional Guard as an Immediately
available force and of carrying out
the peace time plans for the Reserve
Army.
Texas has been requested and has
promised TO roorganize the Seth
Division. There Is being organized
a Battery Of Artillery at Lubbock's
contribution 20 the Division. The

An Open Letter to The Avalanche
From Major General Of the Texas
National Guard About Battery Here

Federal Government bears the ma
jor portion Of the expense Of equip
ping and maintaining this Battery.
The pay Of officers and enlisted
men for armory drill and for the
summer maneuvers and the pay for
care-takers Cor the animals and
equipment belonging to the Battery
will amount 90 approximately Sl9,-
10000 per year. The State apprO-
PIRATES at present sufficient money
with which to pay the armory and
stable rent only, and we are calling
upon your county commissioners
and your city government TO sup
plement the appropriation OF the
State. In this way all Of the ex-
penses Of the Battery can be cared
for except that Of equipping your
armOry.
II is Of the utmost Importance
that the armory be properly equip
ped and maintained. II the armory
is not an attractive place, If It is
so poorly equipped and cared for
that il will detract from rather than
enhance the self-respect Of the mem
bers Of the Battery, it will be inn
possible for the officers TO main
tain the high standard Of personnel
that they have set for the organiza-
ton.
Il is impossible to impress this
point too greatly for il is Of the
utmost Importance that the person
mel OF the National Guard Batteries
be- drawn from the best young men
Of the community. The Batteries
The Lubbock avalanche. (Lubbock, Tex.) 1909-1922, 1922-03-21

is not only maintained as a fighting
unit but 1t also serves the purpose
Of an officers and non-commis ion
ed officers school for those who
are and will be officers whenever
the Guard should be modified at
war strength TO meet national
emergency. Therefore, the Battery
that has not the young men Of the
high class necessary 20 meet these
demands, is not fulfilling its whole
mission.
In general am calling aTon
your paper for assistance IN secur-
ing for the Lubbock Battery the
moral support of the substantial
citizens Of the county and com-
munity. The support and co-opera-
ton is necessary If the plans for our
national and community defenses
are 20 be made effective and we
wish to bring home to the citizen
ship Of each community IN Texas
that they are Che beneficiaries Of
the service rendered by the Officers
and men Of the National Guard and
that the whole scheme calls for their
support and encouragement. In
bringing this about, your excellent
paper can be Of great assistance to
us throughout that part Of the State.
! shall appreciate whatever as
sistance you may give this move
ment personally and whatever x
preston in an editorial way that
you may give through the Lubbock
Avalanche"
With highest regards, ] am,
Yours very truly,

There is nothing so important to
the commercial development OF the
small city as an up-to-date establish
ment where the men OF a community
can satisfy their demands for cloth
ing. This is the day and age when
men, both old and young must be
neatly attired in clothes OF distinc-
ton and quality. If they have to
do their shopping along these lines
in some distant city, the home COM
munity suffers accordingly.
In this part Of the state the needs
desires and demands OF the male
population are more than satisfied
AT this well known store. This pro-
gressive establishment is strictly
modern and is stocked witha class
of goods that would do credit to a
much larger city. 1t features

clothes for men and young men.

OF the very popular features of this

able and SO hard to obtain has won
for their garments a fame that is
ever increasing their patronage. A
full line of high grade clothing fol

stock.
