TAX COLLECTIONS
BEST IN YEARS
OFFICERS REPORT
County, City and School
Collectors Jubilant
Over Collections
State and county tax collec-
tions for Noyember just passed
were better than for many years,
Clay Henry, tax collector, said
Tuesday. Total collections on cur-
rent taxes for the month waa
$14,500, compared with $7>536 far
the same month last year. In
1933 when a big cotton crop was
made, only $6,858.58 was collect-
ed during the month of Novem-
ber. ..—
People don't-mind paying taxes
when they are in a position to
pay, officials at the tax collectors
office said, and the collections
Til* 1 JftiUr-deajonstrate this fact.
The rapidity wTttK^vhich pay-
ments are being made^"ahtl with
two more months in which to
without penalty, it is believed
this year's payments on current
taxes will be nearer 100 per cem
collections than for a great ma-
ny years. Officials anticipate but

BLANCO TEST WELL
DOWN TO 2400 FEET
Average of 10 Ft. Every
17 Minutes Reported
The Blanco Canyon test well,
located just across the canyon in
Floyd County north of Fairview,
is down to 2400 feet, according to
Mrs. Geo. Smith, who was in from
the ranch^near Mt. Blanco Mon-
day. The Smith Ranch is in the
drilling block upon . which .J&e
well is located.
The Floyd County Hesperian
reported last week that the bit
had cut through the plug Sunday
night, two weeks ago, after a de-
lay to set surface pipe and pour
the concrete plug and then allow
the concrete to. set properly.
At noon the following Wednes-
day the bit w as moving down-
ward at 1Q feet every 17 minutes,
which is considered very good
speed."

CROSBY COUNTY
MAY PRODUCE ITS
BEST COTTON CROP
Lubbock County Expect-
ed To Lead State
For Year
There is a possibility that this
will be the banner cotton produc-
tion year for Crosby coifnty, ac-
cording to the census report giv-
en out on November 14, " ^"when
the county had reached a total of
56,128 bales for the season. By
this date considerably more than
60,000 bales, possibly 65,000, have
been ginned, with ,an estimate
that 80 per cent of the county's
crop has been gatyered.
Another possibility is that Lub-
bock county will lead the state
this year in production. At the
time this enumeration was taken,
Nov. 14, Lubbock county stood
fifth in the state in_production,
and the fact that the county
leading the state, Ellis, has prac-
tically finished gathering makes
It' Trtore 4ik«ly~that'-Lubtiock Will
finally lead because of so much
late cotton.
Ellis had ginned 99,698;" Nue-
ces, 91,475; San Patricio, 83,598;
ColTIng^2^24; Lubbock, 80,94-g:—
Other South Plains counties
report ginnings on Nov.' 14 as"
follows: Dawson, 67,919; Dickens,
23,92g; Iglpyd, *17,742; Garza, 22,-

119; Lynn 7,7,206; TeVry, 20,33a;
Hale, 22,690; Motley, 15,221.
This puts Crosby county in 5th
place among South Plains coun-
ties despite the fact that 90,001)
acres of the county was in wheat
this year.

An extension of six months was
granted Judge Edgar Hutchins as
delinquent tax collector for the
county at a recent meeting of
the Commissioners Court. The
present contract with the county
will expire on January 1. Timet
was given in order to clear up
the remainder of delinquencies on
the tax rolls.
Since the contract has been in
force, $45,000 in delinquent taxes
have been collected, up to Dec. 1,
according to John Haney, ..Jr., in
charge of this "department. There
are approximately $25,000 more
on the delinquent rolls which is-
believed will^be paid during the
remaining six months time given
for payments.
Payment of these delinquent
taxes, said Judge Hicks, is the
direct reason for the courity now
being on a cash basis. The finan-
cial condition of the county is in
better shape than it has been for
a good many years, he said, and
the major part of the current tax-
es are yet to come in. Only about
dence owners who plan to enter
■the Lions lighting . contested are
reminded that a substantial start
must be made on the lighting, and
decorations^b^December 10.F1T-

filled the pulpit Sunday both
morning and' evening, his first

.adjourned and he was sent to the
Crosbyton church.
At the morning service Rev.
Gordon's text was taken from 2n<l
Samuel, 23rd chapter and 15th
verse: "O' that one would give
me to drink of the water of the
well at Bethlehem."
These were the words of David.
He was thinking of the boyhoi
home and longing for the return-
of the "good old days." The pas-
tor called attention to the wells
of J^braham, dug along the line
of his march from Chaldea to Ca-
naan, and to some of the inter-
esting events connected with the
wells.
The thought developed in the
message was that we as Chris-
tian people need to drink anew
and often of some of the wells of
salvation which our fathers have
dug for us—wells of prayer, and
Bible study and Christian living
taxes have been made by the ci-
ty, Ben Roy, city secretary, said
Wcdncadav.—-Following the big
wheat crop about $7,000 in delin-
quent taxes were collected, about
a third of the delinquencies on
the rolls. . '
Collections for the past several
years have run around 60 to 65
per cent, Mr. Roy said, and in
his belief, this year's collections
will ruh to 80 or 85 per cent.
Edgar Allen, Crosbyton school
tax collector, is equally enthu-
siastic about the way delinquent
taxes are being paid as well as
the current taxes. All old debts
of the school system are being
paid off, he said.

play at the Caprock Motor Co.
Hie company is offering two dis-
tinct lines this year, different in
appearance ^nd price. Both are
in the lowest price field.
One is a newly-styled standard
Ford line, in coupe, tudor and For
dor body types, .powered either
with the 85 or 60 horsepower V-8
engine. The standard cars are de-
signed to meet requirements of
the many motor car owners whose
means dictate maximum econo-
my in first cost, as well as in
maintenance and operating costs.
The other is a newiy-desighed
de luxe line for owners who de-
sire additional style and appoint-
ments. "Powered only with the 85
horsepower V-8 engine, the line
includes eight body types; the
coupeTtudor and fordor sedans,
as well as the club coupe, con-
vertable sedan and the phaeton.
The two lines of cars Have the
same improved V-8 chassis, ,but
their styling is distinctly differ-
ent. The de luxe cars are longer
in appearance,' and the new stan-
dard line cars also present a lar-
ger appearance, with a newly-
designed front -end - grille, hood
and fencers.
Much interest has been display-
