Mrs. Eberle, wife of Capt. Eberle,
commandant of the Navy Yard, gave
a charming party for Mrs. Lansing
last Tuesday, when she took few
guests for an afternoons cruise up
the Potomac on the commanding S
barge. There have been several sim
ilarly delightful occasions when Mrs.
Eberle has entertained in this man.

delight on the cool, shaded deck of
the barge.
Mrs. Eberle is among the, many
army and navy matrons who are lin
gering late in town this season, their
summer plans depending mainly
upon their husbands duties. Capt.
and Mrs. S. J. Bayard Schindel are
still here and expect to remain until
he autumn, when they probably will
take brief jaunt to some interesting
resort. Col. and Mrs. Richmond P
Davis are having charming outings
in their new car, and have delayed
their departure until some time in
August, when they will motor to
Long Island for series of visits.
Mrs. Gill, wife of Capt. w. A. Gill,
L. S. n, has but just gone, as have
Mrs. Philip Sheridan and several Of
the ladies of Fort Myer. Mrs.
Wooten, wife of Col Wooten, COM

racks, will leave some time this week
and will go to Canada for the re-
mainder of the summer.
Quite number of the official folk
as we'll as the residential contingent
are staying on in town from choice.
Some frankly declare that there is
small incentive to leave the city, since
they can find such pleasure at home.
The wife of prominent official of
the State Department remarked the
other day that she was too comfort
able to leave town. With her garden,
which has just reached fascinating
stage of growth, her two verandas,

Mayor Titus came to court this

he left his recipe for dealing leniently
with evil-doers in the suit he pulled
off. That, at any rate, Is the general
superstition. Nearly everybody was
surprised, too, for as his honor

cherubic smile, and hablimented after

possible that anything very serious

and locked in cell at the Jail. Last
night, he and another prisoner, Albert
Ivey, colored, came very near escap-
ing again. They tore to pieces an iron
cot and used the pieces in their eff
forts to get out, succeeding in break
ing one of the locks on the cell door.
They were not, however, able to get
the door open. and their desperate at
tempt to gain their freedom failed.
Hayes claims that his fellow prisoner
did all the damage to the cot and cell,
and that he (Hayes) made no effort
to get out.
Hayes is charged with bootleg

before Justice of the Peace NJ. G.

held for trial in the county criminal
court under $3.50 bond.

that of breaking out Of jail, which Is

Force Reduced

A reduction in force was what
the Santa Fe termed it when
they laid off seventeen or
eighteen men Saturday night,
but the men dismissed attribute
it to the fact that they carried
union cards. Some of the men
dismissed have been in the SER
vice for several years but have
kept the fact of their member
ship in the union secret, as the
Santa Fe does not employ union
men when they know it, except
in the road service. The men
dismissed were employees in the
machine shops and round house.
Among those who were given
their time Saturday night are
Messrs Ireland. Gosh, Spaulding,
Moseley, Eckenroth, Powers,
Harper, Sullivan. Dutton, Moore,
Thomas, Billingsley, Gibbons
and several others.

Base Ball Player Hurt

In the game at the North
Park ball grounds Sunday be-
tween the Elks of the Clovis
lodge and the regulars, Roy
Spaulding. one of the regular
players, met with the misfortune
of breaking his left wrist in a
collision with the third baseman
while both were attempting to
catch a fly ball. Spaulding, who
is a boiler maker, had just been
laid off from work the evening
before and was therefore barre d
from company hospital accomo-
dation. Last year he sprained
his ankle while playing ball at
Slaton, which accident laid him
up for several months. He is a
fast ball player and will be
missed by the regulars. Sunday
was the first day that the new
grand stand was occupied and a
large crowd took advantage of
the occasion to witness the game
which resulted in a score of
'steen to one in favor of the
regulars. A few of the Elks
could play ball but the players
as a whole were no match for
their opponents. The star out
fielding by Duncan and Callicott
and a second base stunt by Will
Curren for the Elks were the
features of the game.

Patronize Home Industry

Clovis has a bust ness institu-
ton that deserves better patron
age and encouragement. 1t has
probably paid out more to the
farmers and ranchmen than any
other business concern in the
town and while most of the
money Ia paid out in small
amounts. it is kept in circulation
and its benefits have been felt
by every business man in Clovis.
We refer to the Clovis Creamery
and Produce Company. Farm
ers should patronize the Cream
cry instead of sending their
cream away as this company al
ways pays the highest market
price and afforded market for
cream and poultry when there
was none in Clovis. Learn to
patronize home industry.

Mail Order Evil

Just as small. boy appeared
at the money order window oi
the Clovis postoffice asking fol
an order in favor of the Parisia T
Silverware Company, of Mon
treal, Canada, postmaster A. B
Wagner received what is known
in the postal service as a frauC
order, from the postoffi ce de-
partment naming that company
as a fraud and with the fraudu
lent use of the mails. The boy
insisted that if he could not gel
the order that his mother sem
him for that he be sold stamps
to send the company and it was
with some difficulty that post
master Wagner persuaded hin
not to send the order to such g
company which probably never
existed except in name.
This is only an instance OF
many such schemes worked daily
on the unsuspectlng public and
the perpetrators get all they can
in short time through extensive
advertising and are gone before
the authorities have time to in
vestigate.
The NEWS recently had an ad-
vertising contract with such a
firm who offered references apd
who had all appearances of be-
ing on the square, but when we
sent them the bill for the adver-
tising, our letter was returned
with the advise that the company
was gone and left no forward
ing address.
The safest plan is to patronize
home merchants and dealers and
leave the mail order houses
alone.
