Another Good Rain Fell

In evidence. Curry County is
going to have some of the best
crops this year in its history.

the best products for exhibition

Socialist Speaking

VIM. j. Lowe, a socialist lee.
turer. spoke Monday and Tues
day night on the streets of Clo-
Wis to a large crowd, which was
composed mostly of those of his
own political belief. He espous-
ed the cause in true socialistic
fashion. but in some manner it
appears that he said something
that was taken as a reflection on
one of our leading business men,
which was promptly resented
and for time it looked like real
trouble. We do not know who
was in the right. but we believe
that the officers were correct in
their timely interference in or
der to avoid trouble. These af-
fairs are unfortunate occurances
and the less that they can be ad-
vertised on the outside, the
better for all parties concerned.
A petition was circulated We'd
nesday to raise funds for Mr..
Lowe to conduct a county wide
campaign.

Anothe, Big Vessel
Torpedoed by Germans

London. Sept. s. III p. m. -
The Allen line steamer Hesper-
ian, with $50 passengers and a
crew of 800 aboard. bound from
Liverpool to Montreal. was at
tackled without warning by a
German submarine off the Irish
coast just as darkness was fall
ing Saturday evening. Although
the torpedo found its mark the
vessel remained ahoat, and ac-
cording to a statement issued by
the company tonight everyone
aboard was saved.
No submarine was seen and
probably it was too dark to OBJ
serve the wake of a torpedo,
but all the passengers and men,
bers Of the crew who arrived at
Queenstown in the rescue steam
ers today agree that the attack
was made by q German under
sea boat. basing their opinion on
the force of the shock and the
great volume of water thrown
into the air. This dropped back
on the deck. drenching the pas
sengers. who were taking an
after dinner promenade, feeling |
quite safe in the belief that they |
had passed the war zone. The
force of the explosion was tre-
mendious and most of the pas
landed at Queenstown,
many of them scantily clad;
about twenty were injured.
There were no American passen-
gers aboard. so far as the Anleri-
can consul learned tonight, but
two members of the crew were
American citizens and they were
both saved.

ATTRACTING LARGE CROWDS

Rev. A. P. Lowrey and his
singer Terry w. Wilson are in
our city stirring up things in
church circles. There have been
various comments in regard to
this meeting. The evangelist
appears to be different in his
methods from other preachers
who have visited our city.
He has a ringing voice which
can be heard for blocks. The
people listen to him with the
greatest interest. They
have erected a tent on the va.
cant lot just vest of the Baptist
Church, where the revival is
now being conducted. Mr.. Low.
rey's preaching is of such nature
that no man can hear him with
out being benefited. A special
feature of the meeting is the
singing. Mr.. Wilson has sue
ceeded in organizing a large
choir and the singing is very
fine. AS all the churches are
cooperating in the meeting let
us hope the meeting will be q
great blessing to our town.

Our Trip to the Country

We dccepLeu Tue InVlLhClOn OI
our local grain dealer. W. ".
White and made a trip in his
new car to the country north of
Blacktower and northwest of
Clovis. Monday. 1t was our
pleasure to visit the farm of ].
A. Wallace, where we witnessed
a scene that we did not believe
existed here and possibly cannot
be duplicated in Curry County.
Mr.. Wallace does not possess
such extensive improvements
but instead he has invested his
earnings in land and live stock.
He is one of the real successful
farmers we have met in this
country. In his hog barn and
lots we saw 100 head of grown
fat Durock Jersey hogs. ALI
were trim and sleek and gave
evidence Of good bree ding and
care. On his farm we also wit
messed a scene of unusual attrac-
ton. There were, at least, 500
white leghorn chichens. he rails
ed no other kind. In another
lot were his excellent herd of
Jersey cows, from which he says
he sells enough cream and butter
to net him $40 per month. His
grainery is full of feed and his
farm is in a high state of culti- |
walton; his future feed su upply !
being assured. This is only an
evidence Of what can be done in |
this country, as Mr.. Wallace
came here with but little. And
In addition to ell the stock and
poultry mentioned. has secured
quarters Of land. He also had
q nice bearing orchard o f
peaches and a spendid garden.
1t is unnecessary to bring
strangers to this country and
show them such place. if the
writer, who has resided here for
; years, would be so greatly as
that such things existed
within a few miles of town.
We also had the pleasure of
the Roland Wicks farm
located S miles northwest of Clo-
Wis. which we had not visited
For 8 years. Mr.. Wicks has a
well improved place with a
splendid crop and considerable
live stock, but the special at.
traction on his farm is his mag
nificent orchard of fruit laden
trees of peaches. prunes. pears
and plums. No better fruit
have we ever tasted than that
grown on this place. The trees,
which were fairly loaded. were
Of the choicest variety. They
mad gathered over 800 pounds of
Dlums from four trees and there
we're still many left. From one
rec, alone, he estimated he
would yet gather $50 pounds.
A strange coincidence of our ,
Jisit to the Wicks' farm, is that
he last time we were there 8 :
,ears ago, we had a feast in his !
melon patch on the same ground
hat is now covered with the {
richard mentioned. I
He is preserving some of his
,est fruit, which will be sent to
