John Anderson one of the Of
icers OF the defunct American
Bank and Trust Company, like
wise a stock holder in the Clovis
Journal wants a settlement on
his stock held in the aforesaid
paper, but is Informed by the
Hon. Thomas that for financial
reasons there will be no immedi-
ate settlement. The News
might suggest to John that he
turn in his newspaper stock as
bank collateral. and have the
same listed as assets valued at
500. 10000.

published should be published

have no nigger-in-the- wood

Dear Mrs. Nutter: Your let
ter of the 1st inst. was received
on the 4th, but it has been i'm
possible for me sooner to answer.
You say that there will be an
election in Clovis on the ques-
ton of a Bono issue, to raise
money for a school building. and
that there is some doubt wheth-
er women may vote upon the
matter:
Under Sec. l Of Art. VII Of
the State Constitution women
possessing the qualifications
prescribed for male electors are
qualified electors at all school
elections. I think there can be
no reasonable doubt that the
Comprehensive phrase school
{ elections" includes every elec-
tion where any question is sub
mitted to a vote which relates to
OF affects the schools, whether it
be an election of school officers
an election as to the imposition
of special taxes, an election as
to the issue of bonds. or an cleo
ton as to the establishment Of a
county high school. These cleo
tions are all provided for in diff
ferent statutes and must be con-
sidered as school elections.
Yours Truly.

Continuity In Advertising

The merchant who places ad-
vertising in only few newspa-
per issues is sometimes disap-
pointed that large results do not
immediately follow.
Modern life is crowded with
interests people live in hurrI-
ed way and public attention is
tickle. Let the advertiser consult
the new science of craftsmanship
and business psychology. He
will be told that nothing affects
the mind like repetition. Con-
slant dropping wears away the
