Battle of Adobe Walk
Bask for Now Book
Borger. Tex., Aug. 26. (UP)
-Material concerning the
Battle of Abode Walls will be
included in "Tales of the Last
Frontier,” a new book by
Joseph G. Masters, historian
and principal of Central high
school at Omaha, Nebr,
He recently visited the fa-
mous, •rttiis grounds on the
Turkey Track ranch 40 miles
northeast of Borger.
Accompanying Masters to
the battlegrounds was Mrs,
Billy Dixon, widow of the
Indian Fighter and author of
the book, “The Life of Billy
Dixon.”
“The Adobe Walls Battle
was the final great conflict be-
tween the native red man and
Use Western White man,” Mas-
ters stated. “I regard the
battle as one of the great thrill-
ing chapters in the history of
the Southwest.”
While visiting the Adobe
Walls battle ground. Masters
photographed the famous
bluff where an Indian toppled
from his pony, struck dead by
a long range shot fired from a
buffalo gun by Billy Dixon.
sion refused to pass the pipe
line act, he considered it dor-
mant if not dead.
Disinclined to discuss the
matter, the Governor appar-
ently feels that authorities in
Washington failed to give it
proper consideration when he
originated the pipe line proj-
ect.
There was difficulty about a
bill to set up a state authority
to act. Many feared a large
grant to one project would
militate against many small
projects.
Washington was asked for
assurance that Texas would be
charged only with the part of
the project resulting in Texas
employment, but the assur-
ances did not come.

The Brazos River project
encountered much the same
difficulty but finally na’ssed the
legislature. The Colorado riv-
er project now is being blam-
ed. although members of its
board say unjustly. Highway
Commissioner B, K, Martin
told road delegations that one
reason Texas road expenditure
is put so low per man is that a
high ratio of 55,000 to a man
was used in the Colorado River
project which requires large

hearing of the State Railroad
Commission on the proposal to

Texas.
As chairman of the commis-

in the decision. As member of
the State Board of Mineral
Development he has also a
one third voice in its decisions.

What the Fanner
Receives
Had you ever Mopped to think why it is, that
for all your sales of cotton, hay, stock and pro-
duce you receive a bank cheek in payment?
Has it occurred to yon that the purchaser of
your farm products takes your receipt for ev-
ery dollar paid yon in this manner?
If business men find s check account a neces-
sity in their transactions with the public, such
an account is surely important in your own af-
fairs. When yon pay your bills in cash yon
are running risks of “bad memory,” "careless-
ness,” “short change.” and a chance of having
to pay a second time.
A check account eliminates ail such chances
of error—for your check on this bank is a rec-
ord in writing, witnessed, receipted and there-
fore, undisputed evidence.

LET’S T*H ABOUT CLOTHES
.(By a “Young Modem”
Denton, Texas, Aug. 26.—
Heralded by shop-windows
and the calendar. Fall ap-
proaches, bringing up baek-to-
school plans for .Young
Moderns. These plans must
necessarily include a ward-1
robe, in which at least five im-
portant articles are essential
for any college girl’s enjoy-
ment: of a week-end.
First of all, she should ac-
quire a tweed, woolen, of
roughly-knitted suit, good for
football games, travel and
campus wear. Skirts this sea-
son obtain smartness with a
bias front and straight back.
Jackets, which can be in the
same material as the skirt and
in corresponding or contrast-
ing colors, must have broad
shoulders and belted waists.
Accessories to this outfit in-
clude woolen stockings, a wel-
come detail on cold days, even
in the South.
The next feature is a crepe
dress in some fall shade, which
can be used for street and tea
wear. Rust-colored and green
are immensely popular, with
velvet, small ostrich feathers
and flowers as trimming notes.
The heavy coat, preferably
with belted waist line and
flared skirt, should be sporty
and practical. Detachable far
collars make suet coats dressy
enough for special occasions. •
As the last two problems,
students at Texas State College
for Women (CIA) consider
their evening wear. An even-
ing gown should have a flatter-
ingly low neckline and a full,
floating skirt, and it should be
made of some rich-looking ma-
terial. Evening wraps follow
the same silhouette, and
should be chosen if possible to
suit a dress of any color or
style. These five necessities to
tbe college wardrobe should
make a modern young lady en-
tirely at ease in any surround-
ings.
Borger Lard, 14,
KSSs 30-Pesod Rattier
Borger, Tex., Aug. 26. (UP)
—A diamondback rattier, six
feet long and weighing 30
pounds, was killed by Virgil
Weinberg, 14-year-«ld Borger
lad, whe found the reptile
near the Canadian river. The
rattler bore 12 rattles.
The hoy, who was hunting,
shot the snake three times with
a rifle.
Effort to Change Name of
Teachers College a* Canyon
Canyon, Texas, Aug. 24.
(UP)—West Texas State
Teachers College may soon he
known as West Texas State
College.
A move backed by the
Amarillo Chamber of Com-
merce and several other plains
institutions asked for the
change in name on the grounds
that the present name “ob-
scures the fact that it is not
merely a college of profession-
al training for teachers, but
one of general training.”
The student enrollment at
the college ranges around 2000
each twelve months.
