Don't Drive Fairies
Out of the Life
of the Children
Drift with little child into the
land of fairies and make believe
whore dreams come true and fairies
dance where Cinderella's ra(rs be-
come robes of silk the princess mar-
ried the soldier lnd and Queen Mab
sips from a violet cup.
Watch the child's eyes frrow larjre
and bright notice how he leans for-
ward scarcely breathing as he
waits for the children to reach out
for the blue-bird and see his excite-
ment as Jack climbs down the bean
stalk.
The little ones call for these stor-
ies over and over airain and never
tire of them. Older persons in the
telling slip by the magic portals with
these airv fairv creatures. One of
childhood's delights is "make be
lieve" or "let's pretend." Busy lit-
tle minds are quickened and imagi-
nations kindled by these strange
weird tales. They like to act them
out and often the childish fancy
takes a thread from an old favorite
and weaves a new tale.
After a long hour of geography
the schoolroom becomes a fairyland
Tired little faces wistfully watching
the birds in the trees outside may be
brightened and restlessness stilled
by a trip wi'h Peter Tan or a flight
with a beautiful snow-queen.
Some teachers would drive Sway
the fairies and in their place put
stories of fact Hut all fairy stone
contain an element of truth and chil-
dren learn soon enough that their
fairy friends are only bcautif il
creatures of the imagination. Are
you riot wil.ing to face disillusion-
ment for memories of the time you
"b'lieved?" The fairy things are P
around us it is only that one must
have the eyes of a little child to see
them.
Sengraves Texas Oct. B. Gaines
('oiii'ty's second annual fair and ro-
deo Just closed was pronounced
success surpassing last year's event
in almost every feature. With the
bronco busting steer riding and goat
roping a flavor of the days of the
"wild West" were added that was
most pleasing to all.
The West wag there in all her
piehiresqucncss and glory but Into
the old West as shown by the large
and creditable farm exhibits the
nest it has come. And judging by
the fine agricultural display it has
come to stay for the land that was
once thought to be fit only fur the
cuttle and sheep owls and rattle-
snakes has under the plow of the
experienced farmer been made to
yield unbelievable returns.
Ileets weighing 25 pounds tobac-
co plants six feet tall cotton stalks
bearing 108 bolls corn with two
and three ears to the stalk are some
of the agricultural products that are
being produced in dairies County.
Farm Exhibits a Feature.
Corn was featured in the agricul-
tural display of the fair. Five dif-
ferent varieties were shown includ-
ing nil colors. The first corn planted
in tiaines County was in 1905. Since
that time production has grown by
leaps and bounds until now with a
population of a little more than '..'000
dames County produced nearly 100.
(loo bushels of corn.
W. !. Austin a prominent farmer
livirg near Seminole saij that he
had lived in the county eighteen years
am! had never seen a complete corn
failure since the county had begun
to prow corn.
l;iue ribbons were awarded to the
following for the best display of
the different varieties of com:
Woody Butcher Walter Perry; Yel-
low I)ent K. B. Johnson; Strawber-
ry K. B. Johnson; June corn J. W.
Childers.
Bob White of Seminole carried off
the honors for the best display of
red maize W. T. Pipkin was award-
ed first honors fur the best display
of white maize.
Rodeo Events Thrilling.
Two 14-year- old schoolboys Wel-
den Houston and Sam Simmons
furnished most of the thrills in the
steer riding contests. These two
boys of Seagraves rode three of the
wildest steers in the herd with the
eae of the expert rider. They
brought the crowd to their feet sev-
eral times.
J. F. Bennet one of the steer rid-
ers. suffered a broken arm when he I
was thrown from a pitching steer.
This was the only accident to mar
the occasion.
The managers of the rodeo staged
what is believed to be the first of
its kind ever put on in Texas a

PROGRESS BEING MADE
ON BLEDSOE TEST
According to Jlessrs Shultz and
Pipkin of Abernnthy who were in
Lubbock Monday Mr. Tlledsoe has his
test w(li ilnwn about 'jlft feet having
s'rui-k salt water a short distance
above that detith aril has also tom-
I b led rasing of the salt water and
h now making headway.
Qiite a Mtr was made over the
penetration of a formation of shale
and sand just above the salt water
when 8 showing of oil was made ac-
cording to these parties.
Although there seems to be but
little interest being taken in this test
though it is commonly called "Lub-
bock test" the people of Abernathy
are becoming more confident that
oil will be struck as the drill digs
farther downward. Here' hoping.
