to the Extent Of About
Four Inches Falls in Clovis and
Surrounding Country.

One Of the best, if not the
best rain in the history Of Clo-
Wis and the surrounding terri
torv began falling Sunday
evening and kept it up at in-
tervals both day and night
and is still raining and
showing. It was a grand.
and glorious rain and the
ground is thoroughly soaked.
In all, about four inches of
moisture Nell and as it was
for the most part, slow and
steady, except that at one time
Sunday night the water poured
over the sinewaiks Of the down
town business district. Farm
ers and stockmen are jubilant
as it assures early grass and
puts the ground in splendid
shape for early cultivation
and planting.
] From all reports, the rain
was practically general in this
section, exten ding as far east
as Amarillo, as far west as AL
buquerque and as far South as
Carlgoad.

as previously mention

BaDG Entertainment, Good.
We have yet to see the irst
person who attended the band
entertainment at the Lyeeum
Monday night, who does not
praise it hig hly, and those who
failed to go certainly missed a
musical treat. 1t was surprising
to many who had no idea that
they could render such a splen-
did program, Few realized
that Clovis possessed such an
aggregation of talented end
trained musicians and it was
only by reason of the inclem-
ency of the weather that the
opera house was not crowded.
One Of the rare musical treats
was a saxophone solo by Mrs.
Roy Strouvelle. This, and the
national airs, which were com
pletely mastered, brought forth
much applause.
While the receipts. which
were to be expended in the
purchase of uniforms amounted
to only $23.0O the boys feel that
there is some consolation in
learning that all were well
pleased with the entertainment.
Mr.. Johnson. who is a talent
ed musician and a good band
leader deserves much credit
for the success Of the Clovis
band.
If the business men viii sup
port it, he is planning on giving
public open air concerts, semi
weekly during the suSamer
months. This is a matter that
should have the endorsement
and financial support Of every
citizen Of Clovis.
