THE OLD HOME
30C30E
The following poem is written
by the deceased sister of Messrs
A P Martin of this place and
A B Martin of Plainview Mrs
J C Griffin whose home was in
in Baird Texas Although Mrs
Griffin never lived in this country
we feel that the readers
would appreciate this little poem
as most everyone in this country
wtho two brothers
All day long by the river side
Week after week alone
1 sit and think of the loved ones
And wonder if they ever think of
me at home
Our dear old homo in Callahan
The place I love so well
Ts still green in my memmory
today
TTow I love it none can tell
I often wonder if they miss mein
that home
And think of the cross words 1
spoke while there
T wonder if they can forgive me
And did I leave a vacant chair
T often think of my dear assoc
iatcs
1 And the ones that have just past
and gone
And I wonder how long it will be
Before 1 will be numbered with
them in the tomb
And I often think of old Spring
Gap school house
The place where I received my
sight
And now I am happy all day long
For Jesus is my light
I eon now sing Jesus is the light

HAPPY VS KEESS
The first foot ball game of the
season was played at Kress October
Jl with Happy as the visiting
team The score was 260 in favor
of Kress Our boys seem to possess
Ihe same old spirit of last
year that to gain the reputation
of the best foot ball team in the
county At the beginning of the
game as the team took their places
on the field with a smile everyone
seemed to scent victory in the
air At the close of the first ending
wiih the score 130 the boys
were boasted through the rest of
the game Mr Francis Drake and
J B Whitlow were the star players
But let us not give all our
praise to the players for wc must
remember that it takes the very
best of coaching and training to
result in skilful playing and we
are sure that every one in Kress
High School is proud of the coach
Mr Dudley Griffith who has a
wonderful ability for such trainingThe cabinet that was given away
last Saturday by Rogers
Grocery to the one that held the
key that opened the lock was
given to G S Speer the key according
to Mr Speer was drawn
five or six days bofore the day
that the cabinet was given away
Mr Speers key was the forty
seventh key that was tried before
that time

MONTHLY PLANT
EXPENSE REPORT
City of Tulia Light Power and
Water Plant
Below we are printing the
Monthly Plant Expense Report of
the Citys new Light Power and
Water Plant as we promised our
readers some time ago we would
do This expense report is made
up from the Daily Plant Reports
and apparantly is correct as these
Daily Plant Reports are very
much in detail and we think it
would be interesting and worthwhile
for any of our citizens togo
to the City Managers office
and see how these daily plant reports
are kept
This Monthly Plant Expense is
very interesting It will be noted j
that the expense for fuel oil for
the month was 938G running 24 j
hours a day every day in the <
month From records in the City
Managers ollice we find that the
fuel expense on the old plant being
coal per month for the first
G months of this year was 50685
running ou an average of about
8 hours per day Dividing the
fuel expense of the new plant by
3 being an eight hour day we
have a fuel expense of 3129 for
the new plant against a fuel expense
of 50685 for the old plant
From time to time we will endeavor
to furnish our readers
additional information with reference
to our new light power
and water plant and other city
activities

FIRE PREVENTION WEEK
IOESOI
October 9 Is the fiftysecond
anniversary of the great conflagration
that destroyed the city of
Chicago In recent times it has
been customary throughout the
United States and Canada to observe
a week including October
9th as Fire Prevention Week and
accordingly October 7th to 13th
has been designated as Fire Prevention
Week this year
The observance of the occasion
should be a concerted universal
effort to reduce the stupendous
loss of life and property by fire
The aim of Fire Prevention Week
is to bring to the people a realization
of two fundamental facts
that fire waste is everybody s
loss and everybodys responsibility
and that a great majority of
the fires are easily preventable by
the exercise of common sense and
caution All features of Fire Prevention
Week ought to empha
size these facts for it is largely be
cause these two fundamentals are
not realized that fire losses are so
enormous
The little two months old baby
of Mr and Mrs Claud Ross passed
away after a lingering illness last
Sunday The little o ne was laid
to rest in Rose Hill cemetery on
Monday
