O'Connell Case Remanded

In supreme Court decision
recently rendered in which w.
D. McBee was appellant and Pat
O'Connell appellee. the court
held that McBee's assignment
from Ray was not entitled to be
recorded and was no notice to
O'Connell at the time he pur-
chased the property. The court
also held that the only point left
for consi deratlon was whether or
not O'Connell made the proper
investigat ion of the tenant in
possession as to whom he had to
pay rent or in other words if he
made due and diligent inquiry as
to the ownership of the property
at the time of purchase. The
case will again come before a
Curry County jury to decide
these points.
The Clovis news. [volume] (Clovis, N.M.) 1907-1929, 1914-12-25

G. E Dennis, president of the
Clovis Chamber of Commerce,
received a letter from a friend
in Oklahoma this week giving
some good and timely advice in
regard to the selection of kaffir
corn seed. which it would be
well for Curry County farmers
to heed. The letter is in part
as follows:
Ii you can raise wheat in your
country, you are all right, but
| am afraid it will be too dry in
the spring 1t seems to me that
that country should raise Sudan
grass, Kaffir Corn and other feed
that would make ensilage.
want you to learn the differ
ence between Kaffir Corn, which
is mixed with broom corn and
the pure strain, and every time
you see a farmer or farm loan
man, give him a course of free
lectures. The agricultural ex-
pert of the Rock Island says that
pure Kaffir Corn in Oklahoma
makes 80 bushels of corn per
acre, and will mature n 100
days; when it is mixed with
broom corn, i t seldom makes
over Is bushels, and it requires
lao days to mature. Y is hard
to distinguish the graft } of pure
strain from the mixed, but the
heads are easily distinguished.
The stalk on the pure strain runs
almost out to the end of the
head. and the straw in the head
is shorter with see all along on
the straw from the stalk, while
the mixed breed has the appear
ance of broom corn a n d the
straw is much longer and the
see more nearly on the end of
the straw.

GAO Acre Bill

1t is very likely that Fergus
sons defeat for congress at the
recent election also meant the
defeat of his GAO acre homestead
bill, as he will now lack influence
and time to secure its passage
before the expiration of his term
of Office. Some argue that Fer
gusson merely introduced the
measure for its political effect
and never intended to urge it's
passage, but the News believes
this an erroneous impression and
that the bill was introduced in
good faith because Ferguson
thought it for the best interests
of the people of New Mexico
and that il would be an induce
ment for actual settlers to locate
here. The majority of people OF
Curry County believe that such
a bill would be beneficial and
that a law granting GAO acre
homesteads to New Mexico set
tiers should have been enacted
many years ago.

New Telephone System.

About the first of the year.
the Santa Fe Railway system
will install an entirely new dis

tenn and will give the company
system. so that at no time will
the service be out of commits.
sion.
For the last month Linemen
Weaver has been busy with
his corps of men placing the
arms on the poles from Carls-
bad to Clovis. and just finished
stringing the metallic copper
wires between the two points.
They will begin this week the
installation of the telephone in.
struments in all of the offices.
Then the telephone line will be
connected over the line from
Carlsbad to Clovis, and just
finished stringing the metallic
copper wires between the two
points. They will begin this
week the installation of the tele-
phone instruments in all of the
Offices. Then the telephone line
will be connected over the line
from Carlsbad. to Roswell, to
Clovis, and thence to Belen,
which will connect up the sys-
tenn with the trunk lines.
The purpose of the installa-
tion of the telephone system
is two.fold.
1t has been tried out and
found that the telephone sys
tenn saves much time in the
dispatching of train orders and
the like. Not only does it save
time, but it is more accurate,
and it does not take an expert
to take off the orders.
However, the telegraph wires
will be maintained and kept in
shape, so that any time any
thing should 90 wrong with the
telephone wires, they would be
ready for service.
Then, the telegraph wires
will be used for general orders,
freight matters and such things.
The installation of this sys-
tenn spells progress along the
Pecos valley lines. That the
company officials are buildi ng
this system along with their
other lines.

THE DOLLS BEGAN TO feet all year.
DANCE. The dolls wore
their best dresses to the party. They
meant to be very careful not to get
them soiled or mussed. They were
determined to show the Candy chill
dren how fine and beautiful they were.
The Candy children had only one suit
Of clothes each. poor things. and could
not take them off.
The Candy children welcomed their
guests heartily. They were rather
awed by the elegance of some of the
dolls who came in their automobiles
and carriages and wore the most stun
ming silk and lace gowns.
At first they all sat around quietly
and chatted Then some games were
started. The Candy children wished
to play only quiet ones, lest they chip
their coats or scrape of some or the
paint
whoever heard OF a party without
dancingY' one of the more stylish
dolls said scornfully.
Now, the Candy children were
afraid to move around much for fear
of getting overheated. If they got
overheated they would melt, and that
would be the end Of them. However,
they knew It was only polite to do as
their guests wished. so they said that
II the doll children wished to dance
they would all try some nice quiet
dances.
Each Candy child chose dolly part
ner and led her out to dance the min
uet. The dolls looked bored. Ther
one doll spoke up:
Have you ever turkey trottedT
The Candy children said no. the!
hadn't but that sounded like just tn
dance for little Christmas children
So those dolls began to turkey tro
with the Candy children.
First they danced slowly; then as tn
dolls got excited they whirled aroun'
faster and faster. The Candy chi
dren began to grow warm and melt
They melted completely. and the doll

heaps on the floor.

FINDING THE SPOT.

There must be a spotted carpet or
wall paper in the room where this
myStifying Christmas game is played.
For this game one must have a con-
federate with whom to agree about
the sign that shall be used in the game.
One takes cane to point out the spots.
and then the confederate goes out OF
the room. AS soon as a spot is agreed
upon the confederate is called back.
Then the one with the cane points to a
spot and says. Was this the one|
mo" 'This?" NO" Possibly
this?" mo" While you are asking
these questions you keep your hand
around the head of the cane. When
you point at the spot chosen you ex-
tend one finger down the cane. The
confederate sees this and at once says,
"Yes; that is it"
After indicating by pointing two or
three times you can try another way.
Make an agreement with your confed-
crate that after three trials with the
finger you will say when you point at
the right spot, rs IL TINS! out When
you do not point at the spot chosen
say some other wsrd before such as
do you think 1t is this-well. is it this
and is it this?" By changing it every
three or four times no one who does
not know the game will catch you.
Making up nonsense rimes Is game
that should not be forgotten by th'
Christmas hostess. 1t may be played
in this way. One member OF the par
ty writes a line of so many syllable'
at the top of half sheet of note paper
folds it over so that it IS not visible
and hands it on to the next player, tell
ing him the last word of the line. ant
then he has to write line Of simila
length and make it rime, and so o.
until the paper has passed round tn
room, when it may be opened and rea
out loud.
