and the matter to he taken euro ul

ABOUT THE COMING FALL FAIR

to fence and clear the fiiir grounds
provide water ivd iItU's and to
erect several buildings to house Ihe
iisu.'il fnir exhibits. The associa-
tion paid operating expenses both
ycits but still owes a balance of
f-.siu) due for labor and material
used in making improvements men-
tioned. The association desires to
increase the capital stock for the
purpose of retiring this indebt'-n-ne-s
and milling new improvement
that must be provided if the fair
is to continue its growth. Last
year's facilities were wholly inade-
miate and the demands lor sp.-ce
this year arc increising. It is the
nlans to take in all the Plains and
Panhandle eventually. Other chut
ties are seeking space w.th i s but
Ae are unable to admit them unless
our buildings are increa. d. In
fact the con get ed condition In -
year caused much .inbarrhs-nie"t
to the fair officials and directors.
It is no w up to Lubbock to decile
whether it will take caie of thn ex-
panding institution that was oigm-
ired as a fair not for Lubbock but.
as the name indicate! for the whole
"Panhandle and South Plains."
We advertise to the world that
Lubbock is the "Hub of the Plains"
and have secured the hearty co-operation
of the surrounding counties on
the proposition that Lubbock is in-
deed centrally and logically located
for a tiwuerncnt of this kind but
without doubt it is to the ever alert

tbcrson had been defeated for re-i
nomination some of bis friends sti:i
were hoperul toilsv that the j nil
tubulated vote might put him in the

shared however by those familiar
with Texas politics.
Meanwhile Senator Culberson.
Senator Sheppard and their fnendi
declined to comment on the result.
All of the Texas delegation in the
House went home to vote and tele-
grams to their offices here con-
firm press dispatches that they had
been renominated or were holding
safe leads.
Nobody associated with the dele-
gation would discuss reports of the
part taken in the primary by the
Ku Klux Klan.
Senator Culberson will make no
statement concerning tho vote until
tho rount is virtually complete C.

day. It wss believed by tho Sena-
