Thirty days after that proclama-

are setting out trees along their
walks, shrubbery, etc., and the
stock has damaged them consid-
erably in the past It is pre-

trees will be set out -both', in

Skating on the South Plains
-' During the firsf of the weekj
several Crosby ton people got
theif, skates on. We do not mean
, that this skating proclivity was
superinduced by any of the Tex-
. ico liquids, but rather by a visit
of Jack Frost direct from Medi-
cine Hat or some region located
If near the North Pole.
Or,, to put it in common every
day English, the 'themometer
went down to about ten degrees
above zero and as a consequence
for two or three days the lakes
around Crosby ton and elsewhere
on the South Plains were cover-
ed with ice. Meiry parties of
skaters took advantage of this
rare treat, and brought out their
old, skates which had been lay-
ing in the storage rooms for a
long while. There are a great
many, people here who. in their
younger days, could do fancy ice
skating, cut the pigeon wing and
.the figure eight, and if not care-
. ful, cut a large star in the ice
with their heads and sometimes
* not. • ' ■, ;;;
. On account of the shortage in
skates, relays were formed so
that the skates could' be passed
from one. to another and as
many as possible enjoy the pleas-
ure's of spinning over the ice.
Bonfires were made on the banks
of the lakes and everybody that
took part in the good time.
The new editor had the: pleas-;
ureof meeting Dr. G. A. Lind-
sey on the train Tuesday on his
ay to Ralls where,he is settling
and expects to embark in bus-
iness, right away. We extend the
doctor a very hearty welcome to
Crosby .county, for he hails from
the same county in Mississippi
that was our former home, and
we are indeed glad to see people
from our old state again becom
ing our neighbors.

A Visiter From Nebraska
Mr. L. E. Fowler of Danne-
brog, Nebraska, is visiting in
Crosbyton at the home of his
uncle, A. A. Fowler. Mr. L. E.
Fowler says that this is about
the nicest country* he ever saw
and that if he evejr had occas-
ion to move from his present lo-
cation in Nebraskay he would
surely come to Crosby countv.
To a representative of the Re-
view he said:
"I have been here three or
four days and during that time
have seen a good deal of the
country surrounding Crosbyton.
I am much impressed with-it. I
see big fields of grain still in the
shock, and threshers working in
every direction. The climate
here, although somewhat cold
during the last two or three
came.
General Huerta was a
sional soldier and had always
been loyal in his support of the
existing governments, up until
the time of the overthrow of Me-
dero. He fought loyally for
President Diaz until his fall, and
when Diaz was no longer chief
executive, Huerta "fought for
provisional President Barra. Af-
ter Medero was elected, Huerta
supported him, and his loyalty
was not challenged until the
Felix Diaz revolution in February
1913, when the Medero govern-
ment was overthrown and Huer-
ta himself elevated to the presi-
dency.
The assaslnatioh of President
Medro aroused a storm of indig-
nation? throughout the United
States. President Wilson refus-
ed to recognize "Huerta as the
head of the~~Mexican Govern-
ment, in spite of the fact that
Great Britian had recognized
him. The opinion prevailed
days, cannot be considered win-)throughout the United States
ter weather at all, when com- that Huerta was the instigator
pared with the rigid winters we
have up north, and consequently
the threshers seem to be able to
work almost all winter. This
looks to mie like it is as good an
agricultural district as, one could
find- any where.-'-*1-
of the murder. Things went
from bad to worse for Huerta

Philips Mentioned for
The Supreme Court
Friends of Judge Nelson Phil-
lips, Chief Justice of the Su-
preme Court of Texas, are urg-
ing his appointment by President j
Wilson to. succeed the late Asso-j
date justice Lamar on the Unit-
ed States Supreme bench.
Every one in Texas would be
glad if the president would make
this appointment, as Judge Phil-
lips is conceded to be one of the
best jurist that ever sat on the
supreme bench of Texas. Al-
though.a young man, scarcely
over forty, he has had vast ex-
perience both on the bench and
at the bar. ...
