INTEREST GROWING IN
COMING MEAT SHOW
Lubbock. —'The first annual
Panhandle South Plains Fat Calf
and Pig Show. Ham, Bacon and
Meat Show, that is to be held at
the Fair Grounds, March 27 and
28, will be a big success if pre-
liminary indications may be de
pended upon as accurate.
The show, under the auspices
of the Panhandle South Plains
Fair Association and the Lub
bock Chamber of Commerce,
with the cooperation of the Texas
Extension Service, the Texas
BreedeM’eeder Association and
other organ zations and institu
tions, has a three fold purpose.
One of the purposes is to‘en-
courage the raising and feeding
of more livestock on the South
Plains of Texas, and adjacent
territory. Another purpose is
to encourage the killing and the
properly preserving of meats by
farmers and farm women, for
home use.
A third purpose is to encou-
rage city people to demand a
better quality of meat and to de-
mand meats produced and finish-
ed for market in Texas.
Approximately $1,500.00 in
prizes are being offered to win
ners in the three divisions of the
show.
An unusually large amount of
interest is being manifest by
editors and agricultural journal»
and other agricultural leaders in
the show. "*■
The division for cured meats
is the first of its kind ever held.
Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Revell and
son, Trenton, and Mrs. John
Boyd, of Sterling, were guests
in the T. O. Stark home during
the past week end.
Mrs E R. Crews was carried

Seminole School Notes
It may be of interest to the
patrons of the 8eminole Consoli
dated School to know that the
area of this school district is
greater than either of the follow-
ing counties in Texas, to-wit:
Aransas, Camp, Delta, Franklin,
Gregg the famous east Texas oil
county. Hood, Marion, Morris,
Orange, Rains, Rockwall, Somer-
ville and Titus. There are thir
teen counties in Texas smaller
than this school district.
In addition to the above conn
ties, the area actually served by
this school, which includes such
districts as Eubank, Cedar Point,
Wright, etc., exceeds in size the
following twenty six Texas coun
ties, to wit: Caldwell, Calhoun,
Chambers, Comal, Palls, Foard,
Guadalupe, Hays, Johnson, Kle-
berg, Lee, Lampasas, Madison,
Real, Refugio, Sabine, San Au-
gustine, San Jacinto, San Patric
io, Trinity, Upshur, Waller,
Washington, Wichita, Willacy
and Wood. Thus we see that
the area served by this school.is
larger than any one of the above
89 counties

The final basket ball games of
the season were played Iasi Pri
day night at Andrews. The
boys losing 18 to 20, the girls
winning.
During the season just closed,
the boys team played 14 games,
winning 7 and losing seven. Of
the seven gathes played with
Seagraves odr boys won 8 and
lost 4 The girls team played 18
games, winning 9 and losing 4.
Of the six games played with
Seagraves,.our girls won four
and lost two. Neither of our
teams were defeated on our
home court during the entire
season. The girls played eight
games away from home and
broke even, winning four of them
and losing four. The boys play-
ed 9 games away from home,
won 2 and lost 7 of them Prac
tically all games played away
from home were played in a
gymnasium. Very little time
has been lost from school as
most games were played at night
or in the afternoons after school.
The pupils and players have en-
joyed the games The school
has been welded into a unit more
effectually thereby and both the
town and school have been quite
effectively advertised by our
teams. With a new school build-
ing containing a gym for next
season, our teams should make
an even better showing and with
even less loss of school time, as
all games can then be played at
night, and schedules will be
made so that games will not
come on nights preceding school
days.

scholastic League Meet to be

Austin, Feb. 25.—The Senate
Constitutional Amendment Com-
mittee Wednesday reported out
favorably a resolution by 8enator
Woodul of Houston, proposing a
statewide bond issue of $200,000,-
000. The vote was 5 to 2.
Senators Hopkins of Gonzales
and Deberry of Bogata voted
against a favorable reporf.
Although it was announced at
a public hearing, the proposed
highway bond Issue created only
a ripple. Few persons were here
from the distances to hear the
proposal discussed.
No more than $20,000,000
would be spent in any one year
on highway construcflon, the
resolution provides.
Of the total asked, $100,000,000
or as much thereof as necessary
would be nsed In retiring the
bonded indebtedness of counties
voting bonds for aiding in build-
ing state designated highways
and repaying counties for money
already spent on state roads.
Senator Woodul said the plan
to be used in retiring the bonds
of counties and districts would
require the 8tate to pay one tenth
of the amount each year for ten
years.
Money refunded to conntiee
for bonds already retired would
be used only for retiring other
road bonded indebtedness of the
county or in building additional
lateral roads.
