Crosbyton; Texas,
March 7, 1928
Dear Teacher Friend:
Our Invitation Basket Ball Tourna-
ment held last Saturday with thirty
teams representing twenty schools
present, was an outstanding success.
You shared a great part of the re-
sponsibility for making it a success
by your presence, the presence of
your teams, and the wonderful spirit
of cooperation which you showed us
in every way. The Crosbyton public
schools wish to extend to you their
tKankTl^FYour^Tftr"*
Someone said, "To love our neigh-
bor, we must know him." This was
the incentive whieh prompted us to
entertain this tournament. Many of
you we Crosbyton people did not
know before, neither did you know
us, bu^ now, since we have met, We
are Friends.
This tournament -will be made an
annual affair. We hope you will
keep thi's fact in mind next year so
that yovr can encourage a "greater
number of your pupils to~eompete in
the different divisions. Friendly riv-
alry suggests cooperation, and coop-
eration means -a greater Crosby
county and a greater citizenship.
Please extend our thanks to each
member of your teams; and each citi-
zen of your community who was here
Saturday. Our sincere hope is that
we may have the pleasure of -return-
ing your call some time, and that yo-i
will visit us often.
Sincerely, (
EDGAR HUTCHINS,
Director of Tournament.
C. R. OWEN, Supt. of
Crosbyton Public Schools.

State School
Inspector Brown
Visits Crosbyton
_Mix Bxowiv-school inspector Xuncheon Club Holds
the State Department of Education,
ed our public school system. The of-
ficial report will be given out from
the state department later but from
remarks made bv the inspprt.nr
Crosbyton school system is making a
splendid record this year. We have
learned of no criticism but have heard
of a Jlumber of complimentary state-
ments as to the class of work, or-
ganization and decipline observed in
the school.
Mr. Mobley, who hasf been deliver-
ing a series of instructive lectures
during the Agricultural Short Course
at the high school auditorium, com-
mended the Crosbyton high school for
their spelndid order and the courte-
ous, refined conduct of pupils in the
halls and on the campus. In fact he
stated that he had visited 39 schools
this year and in only one school put
of that number did he find such a
splendidly ordered school system. This
speak's well for the high school boys
and girls of Crosbyton as well as the
high school faculty and we commend
them for their courteous, genteel
conduct and feel that Crosbyton's
future' shall be safe in the hands of
such upright boys and girls who are
the future leader^ of this community.
"" Mr. 'Brown is a former superin-
tendent of Crosbyton public school.
He resigned in the spring of 1924 to
take charge of the State School for
the blind at Austin. He remained in

interesting talk on the dairy industry
and explained that by co-incident th<:

DALLAS, March 7.—Indications
from the first crop report of thdf year
compiled by the Department of Pub-
lic Relations of the Snnftilami T if^ rnnm"
Insurance Company are that there
will be a highly increased acreage of
grain in Texas this year. Cotton
acreage apparently will off about 10
per cent from last year. The unus-
ual feature of the reports received is
that there are indications of increas-
ed acreage of cotton in some locali-
ties with a heavy decrease in others.
Practically all of the grain crop is
in the ground with considerable cot-
ton already planted. Winter condi-
tions and rainfall according to reports
were extremely favorable to our
crops. The Rio Grande Valley re-
ports extra godd crops of winter
vegetables and conditions are gener-
ally prosperous despite the fact that
some of the vegetables were sold at
an extremely small price.
Business conditions over all of
Texas are reported as better than
normal and one of the most encourag-
ing prospects is the indication of an
increased production of fruits and
vegetables, brought about, no doubt,
by an increase in facilities for can-
ning. ■—•

stride in its development prog]
when it is ready to connect on to
now finished sewer system.
Perhaps the sewer system will be
hailed with the majority of our Citi-
zens as the best thing that we have
acquired; this may be true; it goes
without saying that a sewer system-
is one of the greatest assets that a
town can have, and perhaps
ani_9uqLi>f. good romPH to a
town that has a good system, than
any other on£ thing.
We are mighty glad to announce •
that Crosbyton now possesses a sewer
system, and a good one.' Our people
should be ready to tie on to the sys-
tem just as soon as it is accepted by
the city. It will eliminate all cess
pools, flies, will not be so bad, and
many advantages are to be had by
connecting up with the sewer.
For the benefit of our readers, we
are reprinting Section 26, of an
ordinance recently published in the
Review, and which gives the monthly
charges for sewer connections of both
the residence and business houses.
