The Crosbyton Commercial
Club .net Tuesday evening at 2
o'clock in the Hall and quite a
crowd was out. The matter of
" ttTOsg who have-been invited was
gone over and TlTfe ways and
means of entertaining the 2,000
people that we expect to be here
was talked over and in many
ways discussed. s.The arrange-
ment of a program is in the
j hands of a committee and It is
hoped will be completed in time
for this issue.
It is expected that there will
be in Crosbyton on the 8th of
June, the largest crowd of people
ever assembled in Crosby county
arid the people will do all in their
power to make t^is the most suc-
cessful meeting ever held on the
entire plains.
Arrangements have been-madg.
by which Crosbyton can easily
take-care of one thousand people
over night, and can in every
way take care of as many more
day visitors. Many will come to
this meeting in wagons, camping
out and taking in the full benefit
of our fine climate, and then
there will be many come in pri-
vate automobiles while others
will come to Plainview and come
out on autos. We have the ac-
ceptance of some very prominent
men, among whom is that of
Judge L. M. Buie, of Stamford
who will address the people on
developments. Homer D. Wade
Secretary of the Stamford Com-
mercial Club will be on hand and
will address.~the people on the
Commercial Clubs an J the Com-
mercial world, its duty and rela-
tions to the farmers. Tnere will
be addresses by some of the best
talent in the west and from men
who have spent years here on
the plains and every one wiil be
royally entertained.

Order For Election For That Pur-
pose Passed by Commission-
er Court" of Castro Co.
Last week a petition from the
people in Bailey county was pre-
sented to the Commissioners court
of Castro county to which,Bailey
county has been attached for
judicial purposes, asking for an
election to determine whether or
not Bailey county should be or-
ganized as an independent county.
The commissioners court granted
the petition and has ordered an
election to be held in Bailey coun-
ty on June 19 for that purpose.
At the same time a petition
was presented to the court ask-
ing for an election in school dis-
en,* a' young and gallant bo^,
was dragged to the scaffold by
his enemies* he was undaunted
to the last and flung the gauge
of defiance among the multitude
who stood to witness his execu-
tion. -But when his fair young
head bowed over the block to re-
ceive the headsman's jitroke, he
murmured.

are college men in town to prove
the assertion. At Creighton Uni-
versity there are clubs galore,
and among them is one known as
the Alfalfa Hay Club. The
Creighton Alfalfa Club numbers
twenty-three; and one of the pur-
poses of the organization is to
demonstrate that the cold fact is '
that alfalfa is a human food pro-
duct, as well as food for animals.
The young men are working in
the interest of science and^ ftt.thfi
same time they are daily furbish-
ing evidence that grass is ^ery
palatable when properly treated.
The alfalfa that they use comes
from the mill, where it
fully selected, care having been
taken to remove all the seeds and
foreign substances. This having
been done, the verdant and tender
leaves, with a small portion of the
upper parts of the stalks are
ground together. Then they are.
run through a bolting machine
that turns out a meal almost as
line as flour and having a rich
brown color. The meal "then is
bleached until it has a creamy
hue. This having been done, it
is ready to go to th£ culinary de-
partment of the college club,
where it is cooked into a large
number of very palatable articles
of food.
—j. Until special machinery shall
be devised to manufacture the
alfalfa flour, however, it will not—
be much cheaper than wheat
flour, a3 the process is expensive
at present, but it solves the flour
problem. ~ ~

Th in gs You Sheu Id Know.
In order to give you an idea a- to what is here we herewith give you some facts as to
Crosbyton and Crosby county. The first house was erected in Crosbyton last July.
There are no v more than fifty, among which is a $12,000 00 stone bank building, and
severalj'csider.ces ranging in price from $1,000.0) to $4,000.00 $3,000. has been raised
t< build a church. An independent school di-strict has heed created and a $12,000.00
school huiitling is expected to be commie:cd by next school term. ' ..The Stamford &
Northwe:-tein Ry. is surveyed within four miles of Crosbyton. Crosbyton is within
four miles of the center of Crosby county. Crosbyton is only four and one-half miles
from the Si Ives Falls in White river over v'hich 13,000,000 gallons of water flows daily.
This is only a few of the advantages Crosbyton has over other towns in this section.
