we can learn, irrigation takes a-

Snow -and freezing rain fell in
Crosbyton and Crosby county on
Tuesday, measuring .45 of an inch
of moisture, the first of any sig-
nificance in over three, months^
More moisture is badly needed for

"I believe1 it ia fair to warn ev-

f. "If he doesn't quit now, then
e must take;, the consequences."
Sheriff Hillin Uien proceeded to
ame quite a.number of the coun-

lem, but a few names surprised
i. "I can name every bootlegger

hose past experience in the of-
ce and a keen ser^se of observa-

si lint, we would" say that the pro-

will take a sudden and drastic
f®op as of January 1.
Light' rains began falling some-
time during the ' night Monday,
and on Tuesday "morning there
wert^ intermittent showers of rain
and sleet and occasional snow,
flurries. ' -
By th£ middle of the afternoon,
with, the therpiometer dropping
slightly, snow began to fall, and
for a short time was the heaviest-
fall seen here in mahy years. Ap-
proximately three inches fell, with
abodt two inches remaining on
the ground Wednesday. By Wed-
nesday afternoon, however, most
of it had melted.
There was still considerable sub
moisture, down some si.x dr seven
inches, farmers report, and this
moisture should aid, in breaking
the hardpan which had formed on
top. Those attempting. to work
their land report the top soil just
abouH as hard as they had ever
seen it.

of the office.
Things look natural in the as-

there has been no change in per-

basis of-cleaning up the' liquar

personally acquainted with every

can promise that unless bootleg-
ging and gambling stops imme-
diately, they will be in for serious
trouble." „ ,
Hillin said that bootlegging in ' -
Crosby county is "not confined to.
Negroes. "Respected business . men
in Ralls; Lorenzo and .Crpsbjrton
