Library Notes.
At the last meeting of the li-
brary board, ways and means
were discussed for making mon-
ey to lay a cement walk around
the new library lots, and it was
determined to give a home-talent
play on night of Thursday, Sep-
tember 16, under the manage-
ment of F. E. Payden, who staged
the recent successful minstrel
show given under auspices of
the Twentieth Century club.
This play, “Man and Master,’’
a comedy drama in four acts, is
said to fully equal th9 minstrel
show, and as it is to be given for
benefit of an organization in
which every citizen should feel a
pride and deep interest it is hoped
the opera house will be packed
to its capacity, where everybody
will get their full money’s worth
of fun.
Other matters of importance
also received attention, of which
you will hear more in the near
future.
The ladies of this board are
giving time and earnest efforts
toward keeping up the library
and improving the property;
they need, and ask for, your co-
operation. This plea is address-
ed to everyone who reads this ar-
ticle. Take an interest, come
forward with helpful suggestions,
they will be gladly received and
acted upon if practicable. Have
civic pride enough in this institu-
tion to become a library booster.

Profits in Alfalfa.
Miller Bros, and Jim W. Davis
do not boast of what they are
doing with their alfalfa crops,
but it is known that there is a
wonderful production of this
plant where abundance of water
is used for irrigation. Here are
some paragraphs which show the
profit from alfalfa in the west:
A number of our irrigated land
farmers have realized nearly
enough out of one alfalfa seed
crop this year to pay the pur-
chase price of their land. Be-
sides this, they will get from two
to three hay crops. What more
can you desire or expect of any
country?—Fort Stookton Pioneer.
We don’t expect any more
than that. We imagine there will
be a rush to buy all that kind of
land in the Fort Stockton coun-
try.—Temple Telegram.
The Pioneer desires to say fur-
ther we have the facts and fig-
ures to prove every claim we are
making and havn’t a “word to
take back.’’ Come see and be
convinced.—Fort Stockton Pio-
neer.
