Clovis Children Make
Fine Appearance in
Exposition Movies.

Santa Fe. twenty-five hun
dred school children in their
Sunday best, marching down
the principal street of Clovis
with banners flying, was a sight
witnessed at a private view of a
portion of the San Diego motion
pictures today. 1t was a grand
spectacle. the more remarkable,
because less than ten years ago,
Curry county was still part of
the Staked Plains desert, with
only cattle ranches where today
are busy towns and villages and
thousands of farms. The bright.
alert faces of the children, the
military precision with which
they marched and perfor ed
their evolutions and calisthenic
exercises, all are impressive.
