LUBBOCK IKXAS THURSDAY SKIT. 11. 1913
Beginning this month a
change will be made in the
manner of making public the re-
Dorts on cotton ginned. Hereto
fore the local correspondents of
the Census Bureau sent their re-
ports direct to Washington and
the results were not known until
the complete statement was
published by the Census Bureau.
Beginning with this month how-
ever the correspondent in each
county is authorized to make
public in the county the results
of his report as soon as he has
sent his report to Washington.
By this publication in the State
papers of the correspondents'
figures simultaneously with their
.dispatch to Washington a check
on the accuracy of the Washing-
ton figures can be had.
Lets have the biggest get-together
meeting of farmers

Make friends. You can do
i that by greeting strangers
pleasantly and giving them the
information that they might ask
for straight. Don't exaggerate
about Lubbock. There is enough
truth to be told about this country
to fill it full of people in five years
if you can only get them to come
and see for themselves.
A good citizen is one that is
always looking forward to the
; better interests of the town and
country in which he lives. Are
j you doing that? It not you are
i not an ideal citizen. Take an in-
j ventory of what you have done
I for Lubbock the past year and
see if you are really a useful
j citizen.
Fvery citizen business man

ranchman or farmer or what
ever occupation you own if you
are a citizen of the county and
want to do anything toward help-
' ing the development of this
great country. You should be-
long to the Chamber of Com-
merce. If you can't give but a
dollar a year you can help that
much. Join now!

FILLING SILOS IN DAWSON
That County Has a Number this
Year Gins are Starting for
the Season Fire Damage
Dattiuin County Nwt:
A number of our citizens went
out to the It. C. Anderson place
Wednesday to watch the process
of filling the 321 ton steel silo
which J. R. Weaver had put up
there. The cutter and other
machinery used is that belonging
to W. F. Scarborough. Mr.
Weaver will have another silo
put up out on the ranch. After
considerable delay W. F. Scar-
borough's silo finally got in and
is now being put up. This is a
stave silo of the portable kind.
The threshing machine to he
'used in connection with the new
jgin came in on Thursday night's
j train and Mr. Red tells us he
I will be ready to thresh the grain
I as fast as it is brought in.
i There are two lots of seed
cotton at the gin now the first
was brought in Wednesday by
Walter McCarty. Mr. Red
thought last night that he would
be able to gin this cotton to-
morrow (Saturday) provided a
I supply of bagging and ties gets
I in.
While burning the accumula-
1 tion of needles which had gather-
ed in drifts out at Mr. A. II.
; Crossett's place one day last
week the flames spread over into
a field and destroyed " acres of
grass besides sweeping over a
truck and watermelon patch and
destroying a considerable piece
of kaffir corn.

GOOD RAIN AT RALLS
Insure Good Crops in That Vicin-

Boy Kicked by a Horse
i
RM Banner:
Ralls and Crosby County was
again visited by a splendid rain
on Sunday night which came at
a very ouportune time as late
feed stuff though practically
made will put on a much heavier
head. Cotton was not specially J
needing rain but of course it
will be of benefit to the fleecy
staple. Nothing short of a dis-j
astrous miracle can prevent
Crosby county from raising the
largest crops in the history of
the country this year.
The Lmma school opened last
Monday morning with pupils
enrolled. This speaks well f.r a
b'Kinnin and we expect to te
able to record a great educational
success under the wise and eleva-
ting influence of its present man-
agement. The little son of Mr. and Mrs.
W. F. Kxum was kicked in the
'stomach by a horse Wednesday
of last week. He was treated by
I r. Pressley and at this writing
is doing nicely and will get well.
