iCrosbyton Has 1003 Population.
Under the direction of the Y.
M. B. L. Riev. W. M. Pearce and
Messrs A. B. Spencer; and A. U.
Swearengin „ took ■& census of
Crosby ton, completing the work
yesterday- In the" original town-
side they found 824, in the A.
L. Ellison addition 134 and in the
B. W. Ellison addition 451 making
a total of 1003 within the pro-
posed corporate limits of the
town. This is pretty good for a
nine year old town in a new and
thinly settled country, we think.
: The Amor&ao
During the last two years more
American Marvel flour mills were
sold than were sold - in the
same time by $11 other mill buil-
ders in the United St^tes^ com-
bined. They are operating in
over forty different states from
Maine to "California and from
Canada to the Gulf.
The most southern flour- mill
in the United States is'an Amer-
ican Marvel mill at Brownsille,
Texas. The most northern mills
in Texas are American Marvels
at Stratford in Sherman county
and Ochiltree in,Ochiltree coun-
ty. Over sixty American Marvil
mills are now operating in Texas.
TJie Review editor enjoyed
ride" a few. evenings ago
Dr. Miller to his.farm a
a half southwest of town. We
found everything in tip top.shipe
and the cotton coming up nicely.
We would like very much to say
more about this splendid little
farm but limited space prevents,
however we must say we found
the doctor's enthusiasm and faith
in this country unabated. He has
just recenty purchased an ad-
ditional 80 aeres of land to his
place and he now has one of the
best quarter section farms in
Crosby county- and he saysjie
will be satisfied when he^€an
own all the land adjoining him.
. Entertainment to Be-Qiven. .

be given at the Methodist church

Women
Can Aid Nation tiyPractlng Econ-
omy in Own Home.
in response to requests from
many editors for a statement as
to service w<$nen can render the
Nation in the direction of pro-
ducing and conserving agricul-
tural products, has „ issued the
following:
"Every woman can render im-
tportant service to the Nation in
its present emergency. She
need not leave her home" or
abandon her home duties to help
the armed forces. She can
help to feed and clothe our
armies and help to supply food
to those beyond the seas by
practising effective, thrift#? her
own household. , '
"Every ounce of food the house-
wife saves. from being wasted
inher home—all food which she
or her children produce in the
garden and can or preserve—
every garment which care and
skillful repair make it unnessary
to replace—all lessen that house-
hold's draft on the already in-
sufficient world's supplies.
"To save food the housewife
must learn- to plan economical
and properly balanced meals.
which, while nourishing , each
member of the family properly, rfor our country.
do not encourage overeating br
offer excessive and wasteful
ty. It is her duty to use all
effective methods to protect food
-from spoilage by heat, dirt,
mice, or iuoects. She must ac-
quire the culinary ability to
utilize every bit of edible food
that comes into her home. She
must learn to use such fdOds as
vegetables, beans and milk pro-
ducts, as partial substitutes for
meat. She must make it her
business to see that nothing
nutritious is throw away or al-
lowed to be wasted.
"Waste in any individual
household may seen to be insig-
nificant, but if Only a single
ounce of edible food, on the
average, is allowed to spoil or
be thrown away in each of our
20,000,000 homes over 1,300,000
pounds of material would be
wasted each day. It takes the
fruit of many acres and the
work of many * people to raise, •
prepare, and distribute 464,000,-
000 pounds of food a year.
Every ounce- of food thrown
away, therefore, tends -also to
waste the Mbof of an army of
busy citizens.
"Clothing is largely an agri-
cultural product and represents,
the results of labor on the sheep
ranges, cotton fields, and in
mills and factories. Whenever
a useful garment is "needlessly
discarded material* heeded to
keep some one or dry may be
consumed merely, a gratify a
passing fancy. Women would
do well to look upon clothing at
this time more practicularly
from the utilitarian point of
view1}, 6 ':
"Leather, too, is scarce and
the proper shoeing of armies,
calls for great supplies ojf this
material. There are only bo
many pairs of shoes in each hide
and there is a shortage of
animals for. leather as well as
for; meat. Anything that can be
done to encourage adults or
children to take care of their
shoes and make them last longer
means that so much more'leather
, "i ,,, ,
directly serve their country and
should put into their tasks the
enthusiasm and energy the im-
portance of. their product war-
rants. ' v;;
"While all honor is due to the
women who leave their homes to
nurse, and care for those wound-
ed In battle, no women should
feel that, because she does not
wear a nurse's uniform, she is
absolved from patriotic service.
The house women of the country,
if they will give their minds
fully to this vital subject; of
food conservation and train
themselves in household thrift,
can make of the housewife's
apron a uniform of .national sig-
nificance, '
^'Demonstrate thrift in your
homes" and encourage thrift
among your neighbors.. '"X
"Make saving as well as
spending you social standard.
"Make economy- fashionable
lest it become obligatory.
Timer Visits Crosby ton.
Col. R. P. Smyth of Plainview
was a prominent visitor to our
city Tuesday in the interest of
growing sugar beets on the
plains and made arrangements
to furnish some sugar beet seed
to part'es to be. planted for- ex-
perimental purposes. We hope a
good test'will be made here of
the sugar beet and if „ it proves
adapted to our soil and climate^
it could be made a great thing
Preparing For
iext Trades Day
. ,
To Celebrate Crosbyton's Anni-
versary on wFirst HonW
The committee in charge of
the Trades Dair for next "First
Col. Smyth ovas for several
years a resident of Crosby coun-
ty and has "many friends among
the early settlers who were glad
to seeshiffi and give him a warm
handshake. He came from Austin
to Estacado-in March 1887 to act
as-deputy -public surveyor under
Htenry Knight, and Bid much
suryeying for the early settlers.
When he came here Crosby
county was practically unsettled,
there being only 72 voters in the
county at the time. .Judge Swin k
was county judge, Felix Frank-
lin was sheriff, Hank'Smith was
tax assessor and a Mr. .Cox was
district and county clerk.
Col. Smyth holds the distinc-
tion ^of having surveyed and
platted the towns of 'Emma,
Plainvifw, Tulia and Crosby ton.
His narrative of how ©Id Emma
got its name-is quite interesting,
and is thus: Mr. Hume, of the
firm of Stringfellow & Hume,
merchants at Estacado, con-
ceivedthe idea of a new town
for the county site to be more!
centrally located in the county, I
and employed him to survey and
plat.the same. The cowboys had
learned that he was in love with I
a young lady somewhere named
Emma and when the new 'fbwn
was laid out they made fun of
Humes' scheme and v^anted to
know-if he was going to call his
town Emma. No joame being
given by the promoter of the
new town, when the plat was
finished and ready to sen4 to
Austin he, Col. Smyth, wrote
' 'Emma" on the margin, and the
place has ever afterward been
known by this name.

J, C, Barnett, who liVe on the
East Plains, was buried in the
