By Clark M. Multican
Two of the foremost men of the
year 'id gave expression to con-
viction of mind that has outlived their
time by many generation the wis-
dom of which wan at lu.it abundantly
proved m 1918. The men were George
Washington and Thomas Jefferson ;
the expressed conviction wa that
the safety and strength f the Nation
lay in it trained militia; the proof is
Chateau Thierry The Champagne
and The Argonne.
So strong was thi conviction f
the forefather that they wrote it
into the Constitution of the United
States and there It in today. The
Spirit i.f '"id delivered to u our
heritage of freedom our Government
and our Christian Civilization. It
descended like the mantle of Klijah
upon tho patriotic sons of Texan
who voluntarily left the pursuit of
business and iirnimn slued the 3th
riviHion.
Tha Spirit of 'To and the spirit of
the .Tith are synonmous. It is the
spirit with which men are imbued
who fight for a ciw and whoe daily
live exemplify that cause in the
building of hool. chtirohe and civ-
lined government. thing worth
figbtirg for. The citizen soldier ha
never failed to prove his superiority
because he known he has a right to
fight or he would not go to war.
B it the Spirit of '76 alone cannot
win battle or conclude war. The
forefathers did not ay our safety
and irtrcr.irh lay in the militia hut
rn the "trained" militia. A great
man of our day a few year ago ith
more patriotism than discretion
stated that should war r"iff a million
men would spring to arm in defense
af the Nation. War came A million
men sprang but they could not get
very far wi'hout transportation They
could not spring to arm ! aue we
had no arms. If we had possessed
arm the men could not hsv used
them. Instead of a million it took
five million men. The shame of it
all wa and i that we were totally
unprepared in evrrylh'njr rxrept the
Spirit to f n-ht. We had strayed from
the tcachimrs of the father- we had
no "trained" f.phtirjf force

new National Guard retains the. de-
signationa so familiar In the. old. Ths
State of Texas is one 01 me tew
States that has been authorized to
ereate a whole diviion. This division
ha been designated the "Srtth Dtvl-
sion" which was the Division of Texas
National Guard troops that so dis-
tinguished itw lf in the Champagne
and in the Meuse-Argonne opera-
tions. A "Pi vision" is composed of
Infantry and Artillery principally
with other neeesnary troop. A regi-
ment of Field Artillery la being or-
ganired in Wet Texas. A battalion
of this regiment is to be along the
Santa Fe one battery at Amarlllo
ne at Plainview and one at Lubbock.
The local battery has been desig-
nated "Battery C 131t Regiment
Field Artillery. It has ben recruit-
ed inspected and Federally received.
All officers and men belong to and
live i a Lubbock. Its officers are ex-
service men which complies with the
expressed policy of the Adjutant Gen-
eral's Department. Ernest Conley

The National Guard is fully equip-

leases and pays for an armory for

new building now being erected by
George W. Fickle opposite the I'o-t
Office ha been leased for this pjr-
pose and when completed will be

Government pay the feed bill f'r
these horse which will benefit our
own fanner and feed and hay
merchant. If no expert farrier or
horse-hoer is enlisted in the otitfi'
some local blacksmiths will have work
to do.
In return for all this the Govern-
ment expects the City to do something
not siuih bilt something. It ex-
pect the Tity to furnish adequate
stable room a'ld a safe place for the
harness and saddle equipment. Tho
estimated cost of these I'm ilitl -s l
11.31 1.00.
The matter ha been placed before
the directors of the Fair Association
and the Chamber of Commerce.
These men are unanimous in their
belief that the maiiitciian-e of thia
Battery here I a g'vl thing for I ub-
lv.k and both organizations are
solidly backing the move. The idea
of using the prwent Fair stables
has been abandoned a these stables
are inadctiua'e arid would neeessi'atf
radical changes before and after
each Fair period. Tbee men say
the citizen of Lubbock should be
given opportunity to rai?e this small
loit necessary amount. They figure
a contribution of 110.0" will hurt
no ore and is a very small utn to
expend f"r so luu'e a p rmanent ad-
junct to the City.
The Ava'nnche is selected as the
depository fir this fund inasmuch
a no jHTsotal solicita' n.n will be

ti itor mii'ht be rotid to see hit name.

without ta'ing I' is the patriotic
d'i'y of the City of Lubbock to fur-
nish adequate fniilitie to cum- for
thee horses. F.very man between
the ages of M and 4." is a member of
the militia. Those etilivted in the
armed service are termed "active."
The other are "inactive" or reserves.-
It is the active guard that must form
that "Trained Militia" so organiza-
tion ia permanent. With a rapidly
growing city fast becoming a metro-
polis how soon may terrible confla-
gration or disastrous storma convert
thia military organisation into a
ftrony protect or of person and prop-
erty. The inactive citixen may ren-
der real service now which some day
is bound to be reciprocated.
There is no end to the arguments
that may be advanced for this or-
gamxation. There ia not one tgairist
it. Any business man can see the
material side of the proposition. All
who have the slightest regard in the
world for the obligation every man
woman and child in America owes to
his wonderful country tor his privi-
lege of living here and accumulating
prosperty under a Christian Govern-
ment can see the patriotic side. Lub-
bock simply must be a part of the
new 30th Division and say to the
shades of Washington and Jefferson
that tha Spirit of '76 is the spirit of
this City and shall be our heritage
of patriotism forever.
INTERESTING MEETING OF
SINGING CONVENTION SUN.
Sunday at Slaton at meeting of
the Lubbock County Singing Conven-
tion a most enjoyable time was had
by all present. The house was full
to overflowing and had it been a
pretty day Slaton would have been
crowded to the brim with enthusiastic
visitors. On account of the rain and
wet mads Lubbock was not repre-
sented at the meeting and in tha
absence of the officers the proposed
business which waa to come before
tha meeting was not gone into but
a great and joyous time was had by
slL
As a special visitor to the conven-
tion waa Virgil Stamps of Jack-
sonville Texas State Manager for
the . D. Vaughn Music Company
and widely known on the music world
Mr. Stamps waa accompanied by three
others who together compi a Male
ijiiartri'e of wide fame and are now
making a tour of the Went. They
rendered soma fine and viy appre-
ciated nu ttiturs.
In the judgment of thi writer a
long forward-looking step was Ink-
en when it was decided to provide
without cost to parent or pupil a
free clinic for the student of our
local schools.
As already explained this in-
cludes physical examination only.
To provide free treatment would
hardly be feasible. But the exami-
nation Itself is important and is
sure to prove a blessing. It will
furni.di intelligent information to
the parent and child concerning any
physical ailment or disabilities that
threaten the happiness usefulness
and efficiency of the child during
those formative years when their
unfolding powers ought to have the
fullest opportunity for sound and
healthy development. Disease or
irregularities in any I art of the
boily affects not only the health
and happiness of the individual but
in some degree affects the health
and vigor of the mind al.-u. Many
a chilil drugs his way through tho
si hool with lowered vitality and
uith a low grade of work because
of bad digestion n bad tooth bad
tonsils adenoid or afflicted eyes.
These troubles are always more
or le-- serious but usually they are
not so serious but what they ran
easily be corrected by medical skill
if discovered and treated at the pro-
per time. But allow them to con-
tinue and eventually they will reach
a stage of development and perma-
nency whit h makes if most difficult
to correct them and bring perma-
nent relief to the sufferer. Besides
in case of neglect there are the
years of suffering and impaired ef-
ficiency that might have been avoid-
ed. Frequently the low grades of
the child in school should be charg-
ed to the neglect of the parent
rather than to the student. Doubt-
less this statement will bring a greBt
deal of consolution to a good many
i boys and girls.
It may be argued that this mat-
ter of seeing to the child's health
is ;he parent's business rather hftn
the school' business. That may be
true but it is well known that in
many cases this is not attended to
by the parent. In Mich case it be-
come the business (.f the school
and whv nial.e any dsxriminaflon
In speaking of parental rights we
should remember that the commun-
ity and the State also have their
rights which the individual has np

good representation of women were
in attendance at the meeting Htid
great enthusiasm wn shown.
Mayor IVr-y Speticer opeved the
meeting with a few words of greet-
ing then introduced Judge W. H.
Uledsoe who in turn introduced Mr.
Thomas emphasizing the fact that
he had known Mr. Thomas idnce
they were school boys together and
at times was intimately associate!
with him. "I have always thought
that I would like to see my friend
Thomas in the Governor's chair of
the State of Texas" said Mr. Bled-
soe "and in fact had thoughts of
that for a time but it seems now
that he is destined to go around
that to fill a higher and much more
important iiosition in the politic
of our country. Me is a man en
tirely deserving and ca( atile of thu
position and is a friend to all. To
my mind it is a great honor to u
to have the privilege to send such
a man to the Senate and I trust that
you will give his randidary due con-
sideration." Mr. Thomas in his opening re-
marks gave a brief account of hi
fights while in civil life for ths
legislation and principles which he
thought was for the betterment of
the public and In substance con
tinued: I wish to be written down
as a friend of West Texas" he said
"for it is one of the greatest coun-
tries in the world. I have always
advocated the Redisricting" of the
entire state in order that justice
might he had in taxation."
"Although there are several in
the rare for Senator there is one
difference in my competitor and
myself. I ara an ordinary plain
everyday citiien never having sought
or held a public office or Slate com-
mission while all of my competitors
have been in the public rye.
"It seema that I from among all
of my competitors hsve been sing-
led out for criticism by them. They
eaih have made of me a target for
their darts and why it is I cannot
understand.
"I am a devout rhampion of ths
eighteenth amendment aixdishir.g
tha aluiminabla liquor traffic from
our nation; also the following
amendment tho nineteenth giving
(lie women of our country a hand
in the rarryig on of our great ty
trio of gnvrrnment.
"We are today confronted with
the great fight for economic l.berty.
On the one side ate the few a
rowoir.g (ha nk and ai itinerant-
right to transgress for the law of
ethics is that individual rights cease
where the right cf society begin.
A parents we owe it to the State
to give it thp very best type of
citizens with the highest degree of
efficiency that is in our power to
give. No parent has the right thru
ignorance or neglect tu impose
upon the State a child whose in-
efficiency mny one day cause that
child to become a ward of the
State when a little wise care and
proper attention given at the right
time might have led to a different
career. Without doubt the State
is losing a great deal of talent abil-
ity and money in the decreased ef-
ficiency of it citizenship that might
have been saved had more caution
been exercised.
It has been made clear that no
child need submit to thi free ex-
amination unless the child or par-
ent so desire. A already stated
the establishment of this free clinic
i a forward looking step but we
will take n longer forward-looking
step when we make this examina-
tion not optional but compulsory.
We we it to the child the si hool
anil the Jstnte to do thi. Other
.States have already done this and
why should we lag behind? The
writer is a father himself but why
let the whim of a father or mother
affect the welfare of the child the
school nnd society? We are will-
ing that our two boys shall submit
to thin examination every morning
if necessary and if this isn't satis-
factory we will bring in the fnther
and mother also.
Our hats are off to the local or-
ganizations promoting this move-
ment. Our town is indebted to
them and to the medical men who
have volunteered their time and
service to this work. They have
done it in good faith for the sake
of the health and happiness of the
children of the community. Let us
give them every encouragement in
this good work.
I might say that no doctor has
suggested that 1 write this article.
They haven't even offered me as
much a a copper cent for what I
might say and I am not at all mir;'
that they will even think of divid-
ing with me any fees that may come
0 them a a result of these ex-
aminations. That if they do make
a l;f!e money. It will be money
well spent if we are caring for
the health of our children. W. A.B.
! .la's; on the oilier are the millions
madly struggling for a mere cxi-t-tame.
Included in thee nr.- the
four million brave-henrted men who
offered their all in the service of
heir country TOO.iolO of whom Hre
now jobless and the great majority
in dire want. The l'nited States
i'oa"ts cf beirg the richest nation
in the world and no one doubts the
assertion but who own this vat
wealth? Two-thirds of the wealth of
the entire country is owned by two
per cent of the population. In my
estimation this is not a healthy con-
dition for American society. The
power of money is unlimited the
financial heads being able to de
press the price paid to the producer
and boost the price of the commodi
ties handled by them. Hnng it home
to yourself in the price of cattle on
the Plains which the legislature
tried to regulate and in fact passed
a bill regulating it but the bill was
"dehorned." It is the fear of today
that the five packers will become
more powerful than the government
itself.
"Then there is the steel trust and
the coal miners which in itself is
something requiring immediate leg
islation if justice is to be had. I
care nothing for organised or un-
organized labor but am for men
and stand for justice to human be-
ings. While there are men with
money who are doing a great work
for the world and men who would
be missed I have no grudge against
them but am forever against the
system which made possible these
men.
"I believe in the income tax and
the inheritance tax and immediate
relief from the present freight rstes
which are most unjust. The profits
of tha producer are eaten up by the
freight rates when shipped to mar-
ket. Many a farmer has been known
to ship stuff to market and the
railroad companies come back on
him for deficit. His roods wouldn't
pay the carnage to the market
point.
"Immediate action ia imperative
on these great issues and I pledge
myself to do all in my power to-
ward tha proper legislation govern-
ing these points."
A good Idea for mothers who like
to have souvenirs of their little one's
childhood is to paste in a book sam

Appropriation For
Reporting Markets
Wvhington April 20. The con-
ference committee of the House and
Senate considering the agricultural
appropriation bdl retained in the bill
the f 20(101 increase for dissemina-
ting Government market reports
which insures the delivery of official
markets by leased wire to Austin for
broadcasting by the University of
Texas radio s'ation beginning July
1. The leased wire formerly going
to Texas was abandoned during the
war and since market reports have
been ebtained over the commercial
wires by the interested parties.
The conferees at the instance of
Representative Buchanan of Texas
member of the committee adopted
an item of 5O0O for experimenta-
tion in making tea from the loaf of
the oupon or Casino shruh which
grows extensively in Texas and other
Southern state. It is the only plant
found in the L'nited States the leaf
of which contains caffeine and that
in Texas where the leaves grow
large and thick enrry from 50 to 65
per cent of the element.
The brew from the Youpon leaf
it is thought will be found a whole-
some substitute for tea as the
growth has been analyzed and found
to contain the flavor and tonic fluid
of many teas. There is already a
demand in South America for the
Youpon tea and the creation of
another industry for the country's
exports in thought possible. Exper-
iment have been made with the
growth in North Carolina. The buh
grow wild in Texas and other South-
ern States forming a dense thicket
and from ten to twenty feet in
height.

At a recent election held for the
purpose of voting schooP bond for
necessary improvements in our pres-
ent buildings and the erection of a
number of other buildings the peo-
ple of Lubbock and vicini'y showed
a determination that they n'e going
to keen to the front in all tiinr: con-
cerned with the bettermen of our
school system w hich nt pre r-nf is of
a high standard of effieicn y but
we were beginning to be overcrowd-
ed in the building and were unable
to take care of even the ones on
hand and new pupil were coming
in every day to such an extent 'hat
conditions were becoming depb rable.
An election was ordered held and
passed by a majority of nearly eight
to one calling for the issunnre of
bonds drawing 6 per cent interest
extending over a term of forty years.
These bond were recently placed "n
the market and bids have been re-
ceived from all parts of the state
and such are the conditions existing
in the Ilond Market now that bids
coming in were very gratifying to
the committee in charge. A year
ago the companies would not bid on
0 per cent bonds unless a deduction
of 10 per cent or more was made
from the principle. But this year
the markets have opened up to such
an extent that it is almost a squabble
to see who is going to get them at
the bet figure ubove pnr and th
bid are usually accompanied by a
bonus offer.
The local bond were issued in (I
per cent denomination but by a
deal closed Saturday with the Suth-r!in-I5arry
Co. of Now Orleans the
bond were turned to them on par
value drawing 5 1-4 per cent but
brought a bonus of 1 2 2 " 0 ; also al-
lowing attorneys fees and the print
ing if the bonds. In other word
the bond were sold on a net par
basis with $'J!)0 bono.
As far as 1s known this in the best

record. About fifteen different firms

sisted by two other townsmen not
