CHIEF WILUAMS
TALKS TO THIRTY
FIREMEN TUES.
Both Ralls and Spur Are
Represented Here at
Meeting
Approximately thirty firemen,
representing the Spur, Ralls, and
Crosbyton volunteer fire depart-
ments, heard Chief G. Frank Wil-
liams, field man for the State
Fireman's School at A. and M.,
lecture here Tuesday night.
Chief Williams showed a pic-
ture taken at the Fireman's school
last June, and explained the new
fire fighting methods demonstra-
ted at the school. He also explain-
ed new tools which had been in-
vented within the last year.
Following the meeting, a lunch
was served by the • local depart-
ment, with the visitors as honor
guests.
Six members from the Ralls de-
partment, and seven from Spur
were present, besides members of
the local department. F. M. Dunn,
Crosbyton city commissioner,, and
Percy Ralls, of Ralls, were also
guests.

- • - AN EDITORIAL
Within the next fouiva or five
weeks, a dozen or more families
employed5"by the Gulf*1 Oil compa-
ny on the new deep te3t in south-
east Crosby county, will in all
probability attempt to locate in
this city, according to information
received by the Chamber of Com-
merce.
Crosbyton has all the advantage
as far as the new test is concern-
ed, being several miles nearer the
test than other towns, and with a
good road running within a short
distance of the well.
However, whether we secure
these families in Crosbyton will
depend largely on Crosbyton citi-
zens themselves. WE MUST NOT
TRY TO PROFITEER
People who have rooms and a-
partments to rent must remember
that Crosbyton cannot become a
boom town overnight, These men
cannot be expected to pay exor-
bitant prices for rent, when near-
by towns give them rent at the
same price as they would charge
anyone else.
The same thing, of course, ap-
plies to all other lines of business.
We cannot expect to get and keep
these people if we do not treat
them as we would treat any
other new fafnily moving to Cros-
byton. We must not make the
same mistake which one town
west of Lubbock is reported to
have made. It is said that the oil
people refused to pay the p'rices
asked, and moved on to another
town where they , were accorded
courteous treatment.
The Chamber of Commerce is
making every effort to get these
people here. If they do come, let
us all co-operate in keeping them
here. , j.

thought and study of each new
idea introduced. Many things are
working against the ideal of L>o-
mocracys he said, Until recently,
the people of America had become
lax in their protection of their
form of government. Now, how-
ever, this is changing and peo-
ple are beginning to work for the
protection of personal liberty,
which European countries have
lost.
Following the meeting, Gov.
Burleson met with the directors
of the club to discuss local pro-
blems and make out the annual
report of the club.
