1t is a melancholy fact that the leaders Of
society. SO called. are not always conspicu-
Gus for good manners. Assuredly it is not
conventional to offer the left hand In shak-
Ing hands unless when you give your left
hand to an intimate friend when you are

accompanied with an apology and 1t Is never

some one is interested In them and wishes

helped in every possible way. Yet there
should be stamps enough to supply more
needs than one, and look for a prompt and
generous appeal which will aid e. M. II. to

the boys the knowledge that others besides

To US it looks as though the
trade Of the country is so scat
tered that the town which puts
forth the most effort in that d.
rection will eventually succeed
in landing far more than her
legitimate share of business.
AT present, while time hangs on
the hands of the average man.
he takes time to look around
and then spends his money
where it will go the farthest
and to US it seems that the mer-
chant who offers him good
values for his money. will event
ually reap golden rewards in
the way of his future trade.
This fact we would impress up
on the minds of the people and
we would also ask them to aid
US in establishing the fact that
in Clovis can be found better
bargains than in any other in
this section. If we once get
this faction established, our
own will soon be handling far
more trade than rightfully be-
longs to her. Let US Join hands
and make this so.
