THINGS TO REMEMBER "
Advertisers contributors and all parties inter-
ested in the Avalnnche please remember these
things: We print the Tuesday Avalanche on

on Thursdays press hour 3:30 p- m. Please have
copy for local notices in not later than noon Mon-
days and Thursdays. Ad changes and copy should

days. It takes a schedule like this to get your ads
in the paper in good shape and helps us give our
readers better service which means that the paper
will be of better service to you which we earnest
ly desire it to be. We do not want to be exacting
but we must demand some things of you if you ex-
pect us vo come up to the notch.
Indeed the Legion's influrnre vvill not be con
fined to the United States but will be fell abroad
as well; for affiliated with it are veterans' societies
of the Allied nations as is tested by the attendance
of delegates from Belgium France. Great Britain
Rumania Italy Jugoslavia and C'ze ho-Slovakia
at the New Orleans meeting. In co-operation with
the foreign societies the Legion promises to be an
important agency for the preservation of interna-
tional peace and the ideals for which the members
fought.

WILL LUBBOCK COUNTY HAVE BETTER
ROADS
A better roads movement was started at the
Kiwanis Club today. In fact it was more of a
continua'ion of the work started several weeks ago
by the Rotary Club when a committee was ap-
pointed or authorized to be appointed to join a
like committee from other organizations to work on
plans to start a movement for better roads in Lub
bock county.
The program Thursday was on the road ques-
tion and some good talks were made along this
line and we believe that there is going to be some
definite work done in the way of better roads in
the very near future. Col Neal Douglass of Lit-
tlefield who is one of the Commissioners in Lamb
County addressed the club and gave them some
good oointers on the building of roads in this sec
tion of the state and pointed out the best method
of procedure in getting the roads movement start

thickly Dooulated than the North Panhandle. A
well edited daily in Lubbock should win the sup-
port of the citizens. We believe that the Avalan-
che management will be able to give a paper that
will be a greater boost to that region and at the
sa.ne time give a profitable business enterprise.
Without competition and being published in one
of the best cities in the globe for the population
the Avalanche should start under favorable circum
stances. Although the financial conditions tn the
order to keep them in good repair.
He was followed by Judge Sowder who ex-
plained that the cost of bad roads was much great
er than the cost of good roads; and by a number
of good illustrations drawn from the use of the au-
tomobile showing the difference in the cost of op-
erating a car over bad roads and good ones. He
pointed out that the difference in the cost. for op-
erating the cars for one year would more than take
bonr!

CARLISLE TEACHER SETS
COTTON PICKING RECORD
Prof. Pevehouse has set a new
cotton pit king rei ord fur Lubbm k
county.
Wednesday morning he started at
about ten o'clock after having pick-
ed at a normal rate for a high rec-
ord and at the close of the day he
had weighed in six hundred and
thirty-three pounds of the fleecy
staple.
This record was made on the J.

THE VOICE OF THE VETERANS
TOLL OF THE HIGHWAY
The resolutions on public questions adopted by ;
the American Legion at the national convention in 1
New Orleans will be given respectful attention by ;
the people of the United States. It may be that 1
the Legion's opinions as to what the national policy
hliould be in certain ma'ters will not coincide with '
those of a majority of the citizenj. Even though
that should be the case they will not be dismissed j
light'y- for 'he voice of the Legion is the voice j In spite of all the warnings and all the moraliz-
es Hanford MrfcNidcr the retiring national com- j ing carelessness and reckless driving continue to
mander s.iys. of th men and women who served j exact a terrible toll of death on the highway. This
the nation most zealously in the greatest crisis since i is particularly the case on Sundays when more than
the Civil War and whatever they may say is en-j the usual number of automobiles are in operation
titled to earnest consideration. This will be the and when we seem to have more than the ordinary
more readily granted because even those who op-; quota of inexperienced drivers
pose the Legion's recommendations cannot question
the sincerity of the members' devotion to the na-
tional welfare. It was given the acid lest in 1917
and 1018 and found to be true. The young men
who efi'ered their bves for the republic a few years
ago will not knowingly do
now.
The great need is to educate the people to the
danger that confronts them by some striking illus-
trations. In mills and factories safety devices are
saving many lives but for some reason it seems to
be difficult to keep down the number of accidents
nything to injure iton the highways. One of the reasons for this is
; that the congestion in the large cities grows greater

NEW RFCOPD SET FOR
MONEY MAKING ON PLAINS
C. H. Walton one of the mosi
expert agriculturalists in this sec-
tion has set a new record for mak-
ing money on the plains. He has
f.ve acres of land in the west part
of town on which he bad a small
patch of peanuts from one-pmrter
of an acre of which he gathered
a winter's supply of nuts and a load
of hay for who h he re eived fifteen
dollars this making an average of
sixty dollars per acre plus a good
supply of peanuts.
It takes all kinds of farming to
keen on top and that is certainly
what Lubboik county farmers are
doin(r diversification bing their
wst; hword.
The State Fair is by no means the
only medium through which the
champion ngrii ultural district might
be judged and South I'lains farm-
ers are bringing that fact to view
in a good many ways.
Actual production is a proof of
lana values and anyone sufficiently
interested in farming to investigate
nrodiietion records that have been
made on the South Plains will read-
ily see that the present price of land
is far below its value.
