Lubbock Avalanche-Journal: "The
one thing the Federal Farm Board is
concerned about is whether the farm-
ers will co-operate for their own re-
lief. After it is found they are will-
ing, the rest will be easy."
The above were the words of
' Charles Alvord, field representative
of the board in a talk before the
members of the Lubbock Kiwanis
club and citizens of the Acuff com-
munity in a joint meeting at Acuff
recently.
And such seems to be the case.

were not concerned over the price at

A pale, proud girl turned to the big

"No," he growled.

Car Falls Down Precipice
J. A. Neighbors happened to quite.
a little misfortune Monday. He and
family motored from their home a
few miles south of town to the can-
yon on a plum gathering expedition.
They left the car on top of the cap
rock a short distance from the edge
and proceeded on Hoot down the
canyon, and suddenly were attracted
by the moving of their car, and look-
ing up they saw it coming down the
great embamkment. I<( Jhad a fall
of about fifty feet, rolled over a few
times and was completely demolish-
ed. The car evidently was pushed off
by a puff of wind, as it was on level
Sound and as Mr. Neighbors thought
r put of danger.
No Relief /In Sight ,
Mayor A>. R Spencer returned from
Amarillo Monday where he went to
investigate the car shortage. He says
conditions have not been the least
exaggerated and that it may be fully
ninety days before we can feel any
appreciable relief. This is a condit-
ion that cannot be helped by our
business men, and the same conditions
prevail at the shipping points on the j warehouse facilities, and the sooner
plains, and it looks like the farmers this is remedied the better It wfll be
NAMES
The newly-discovered planet will be
named Pluto, following the custom of
giving classical names, such as Mars,
Venus, Neptune, Saturn, etc., to the
heavenly bodiea. That is a more sen-
sibly system than prevails in most
I parts of this country in giving names
I to towns and places.
- A classical-minded official of New
York's early days gave names out of
ancient Greece ana Rome to the un-
settled townships, whence we have
such cities as Syracuse, Rome, Utica,
Troy, Niobei, llion, Ithaca, Carthage,
Pompey apd many others whose
names mean nothing whatever in
America.
The early settlers lacked imagina-
tion. Otherwise we would not find in
one county in New York the towns of
Chatham, North Chatham, East Chat-
ham, Chatham Centre and Old Chat-
ham. Portland, Oregon, got its name
because the two men who founded the
settlement tossed a coin to see which
should name it. One came from
Boston, the other from Portland,
Maine, and the Portland man won
And St. Petersburg, Florida, got its
name because the man who first set-
tled there was a Russian.
