the paper but it has grown out of all classes of
littleness and has expanded in usefulness and its
pages are larger and more of them. It is published
twice as often ns then and the plant has been en-
larged and increased until it now ranks nmonn the
best in the West and that's very complimentary in-
deed ns we believe the newspapers of this section
of the State are far ahead of anywhere else in the
State of Texas or many other states. We read the
Index with much interest twice each week. We
wish it much success in the future.

"If you go out to do anything worth while" Gov.
Pal M. Neff told graduates of Baylor College in an
address at Belton "someone will hand you a lemon.
I get a bunch of them every now and then but you
know what 1 do with them? I make a lemonade
of them."
Mr. Neff has the happy disposition of turning
the sour to sweet and is making many friends by
his happy way of doing things. I le seems to work
upon the theory of doing what he thinks best re-
gardless of the consequences and who and what
it is.

There is a growing sentiment throughout the
country to combine Armistice and Thanksgiving
Day in one great holiday. The two holidays come
so chine together and the sentiment being very
much the same there seems to be good and sound
logic n the pie; of those who favor the movement.
Arm!i e Day is truly a day of thanksgiving legal-
ized in honor of the great achievements which hum-
bled earth's proudest empire and put an end to the
dom .l.ition of autocratic government Armistic.
Day it a day of international thanksgiving a day
which marks the lifting of the burdens of the world
and t!i enfranchisement of millions of liberty-loving
people. It marks n change in the policies of the
nations the crumbling of empires the bill of tottcr-

Women's dresses "are coming down. Fashion
has so decreed and soon the short skirt will be in
disenrd. Not only will they be longer but wider
and this means the consumption of more cloth in
their manufacture and as more goods Will be needed
there will be greater activity in the textile mills a
greater demand for labor and a better market for
wool cotton and other materials that enter into
the construction of women's raiment. As a war I
measure we were asked to economize and the wo-1
men of America have economized. Now that the
war is over and the country settling down to busi

We hope there will be some way found whereby
there can be a lot of this good farm land put on the
market for homeseekers this year. There is too
much of it tied up in large tracts now. We cannot
blame the holders of the land exactly for not selling

REAPING AS WE SOW.
As a people we Americans arc too
Indifferent in matters of national
concern.
We are indifferent because we do
not enter actively into the discuss-
ing and shaping of alfalrs. We have
no time to devote to the national wel-
fare because we arc engaged almost
exclusively In the accumulation of
money for our necessities nnd our
pleasures.
This trait Is not found only In the
republican party or in the democrat
tc party or iwiotig any certain class
of people.. We nre nil tarred with
the mine brush and the tar is thick
and blai k nnd sticks.

l.ad the rr ers of election published in this is
sue of the Avalanche as they contain valuable in-
formation about the proposed bond issues that the
City Commissioners are looking forward to as the
best means with which to accomplish the work of
extending the city water and sewer system. This
is a very important election and should have a rep-
resentative vote of the people of the town. The
passage of this bond issue will mean much to the
town and its future development and it will fur-
nish the much needed water and sewer service to the
hundreds of homes that do not at this time have it
and cannot have until an extension of the service
is made. And then too the water system for fire
protection is woefully inadequate and gives com-
paratively little protection to property owners
hence the additional insurance that many are hav
ing to pay. In tact the entire town is penaueu on
account of it. Both these bond issues should pass
by an overwhelming majority and then on lop of
not cost nnvllunu. l.uhhoi k City tionns will be
easilvy disposed of on the market and in nil pro-
bability they will bring a bonus of enough to
pay all interest for several years.

The people of Sweetwater recently voted a
two mill tax for maintenance of the fire department
in that city. That is a good idea and something of
the same nature would not be bad for Lubbock.
We have outgrown our present fire fighting equip-
ment and it is dangerous for this department to be
inadequately .applied with fire fighting paraphena-lia.

We doubt if Texas will stand for electing a man
to the United States Senate who has to run on hi

bobbing up unsolicited and trying to play the

REGRET
There in not a word in the F.r.g-
bsh tongue which signifies morel
than the word regret. It expresses i
every degree of pain in 1h sc ale
of sorrow from the childish regret i
for the lost play thing to th re-1
I morse which can only look forward j
to a wasted life hai h person has
felt its effects; no age escapes it
and such will be the esse as long!
as it is human to err. The deepest i
sorrow i not brought upon us by j
the world by its bitterness its mal-
ice or Its persecution. These ef-
fect us however arid make us wi-s-r
more weak or more brave. W
run if we choose repel the world's
wrongs we may laugh at the injur-
ies inflicted t'pon us or if we i.iu-
not cnmmund this spirit we n ay
patiently ndure what we do "
rcherit. But the sorrows we bring
upon ourselves by our own lark of
discretion are those whith rajie
us to experience what real sorrow
is. We can not then repel its at-
links with indifference fur regret
is the henrt'a sorrow for pa t '. turns
the soul's expediency to better sc. i
tions. To esi ape regret it is ri"ees-
sary to form the habit of doing
our whole duty and avoiding Impul-
sive actions. J'aiu-e before you uy
hasty or cruel thing; think bf-s j
you raise a confidence and then cle-1
eeive it for there is nothing - more ;
likely to cause regret than this. ;
