School Starts September 6

Get your books ready boys and
girls. The summer vacation is
about over and school will begin
on Monday September 6. The
teachers, numbering seventeen
in all, who are not already here,
will arrive within the next week
or two and be ready for a long
school term. Work has been
stopped on the wesv side ward
school building on account of
difficulty with the sale of the
bonds. 1t appears that the
bonds were taken by spectators
instead of the bonding COM
panies and that legal question
has been raised ostensively for
the purpose of delaying the sale.
The attorney general o f the
state has passed on the legality
of the issue and says that it is
all o. X.

Would Change Section Lines

Ii the News is correctly in
formed, and | hope we are not,
the county surveyor is changing
the section lines around in the
northern part of the county near
Grady to suit the wisGes of the
board of county commissioners
who have directed the opera
tions. In some insta noes wells.
orchards and other permanent
improvements will be left in the
section lines. If these people
took their land and fenced it ac-
cording to the government sur
vey and have the evidence in
the form of established corner
stones, the county surveyor or
no one else has a right to change
it. The county surveyors bust
ness is to mark the boundaries
of the county and he has no
right to change survey in the
county any more than has any
other surveyor or anyone else.

Joe Roach Ends Life
With Rifle

Joseph w. Roach, a railroad
machinist, aged forty-six years,
committed suicide at his resi-
dence on West Grand Avenue
Wednesday afternoon about 3
o'clock, by shooting himself in
the forehead with a Marlin q
rifle. He was removed to the
Santa Fe hospital where death
occurred at 6:15 that evening.
He had placed the rifle against
his forehead and pulled the trig-
ger with the cleaning rod. The
bullet entered his head in the
center of his forehead and
pierced his brain. His wife and
nine year old daughter were
shopping at the time of the
tragedy making preparations to
leave the next day. Domestic
troubles and the fact that he
had lost his job with the railroad
company had caused him to
brood over his troubles and had
unbalanced his mind.
A local grocery firm had the
day before garnasheed his pay
check and this is also thought to
have been an incentive for him
to commit the rash deed.
Besides his wife and two chill
dren aged Z and 8 years he
leaves two brothers George and
Charley Reach who reside here
and a sister Mrs. Ruhlman who
now resides in California. A
coroners jury was empaneled
Thursday which rendered the
verdict that deceased came to
his death by means of a self
inflicted wound. The body was
prepared for burial at Steed's
undertaking parlors and the
funeral will be held from there
Fiiday at 2:30 p. m.
Mr.. Roach came here from
Atchison. Kansas, and had been
in the employ of the company
here for several years. His
brothers are both prominent in
business and lodge circles.

The Finishing Touch

This section was visited by
one of the heaviest rains of the
season Sunday night. which in
Clovis registered a precipitation
of over two and a quarter inches.
Such a rain coming at this time
of the year assures a big crop of
practically everything planted.
barring of course, providential
hinderances such as destructive
hail stormes. 1t puts the finish
ing touches, so to speak, to the
crops that have sufficiently
matured to count on them as be.
ing as good as made. Though
we boasted a great deal of our
wheat that made forty bushels
to the acre. it is quite certain
that we will also have the op-
portunity to boast of corn that
will make at least forty bushels
to the acre. There is an excep.
J tionally large acreage in corn
this year and the experienced
farmers estimate that the yeild
will reach as high as forty
bushels in many fields. From
all reports the rain was general,
extending from Tucumcari on
the north and to Fort Sumner
on the west. Some hail accom-
panied the storm in spots north
east of here where the damage
to a few crops was considerable.
Hail is reported in an area of
about six sections in one locality.
None fell in Clovis.

CURRY COUNTY FAIR
TO BE BEST HELD.

The Curry county fair associ-
alton which is composed of such
old time war horse fair work
ers as w. |. Luikart, Walter
Cramer, Fred James and others
have decided that this is the
year to SHOW off. " According
ly plans are being discussed for
holding the greatest county fair
ever held here and the big show
will be pulled off on October 5.
and 6. The Curry county fair
will be held out of the funds APP
propriated by the Board of
County Commissioners and from
those to be obtained by popular
subscription. After the holding
of the county fair the best arti.
cles exhibited will be selected
and taken to the state fair
where a special committee will
take charge of our exhibit.
With the excellent products
which Curry county will be able
to exhibit this year and with
our high grade stock we should
be able to carry off one or more
of the valuable prizes offered.
The prize offered for the hest
agricultural exhibit is 81, 600.
All the bu siness men, farmers
and citizens generally should co.
operate to make the Curry coun-
ty fair this year such a success
that it will be the talk of the
country for weeks after it is
over. Last year we had the
best ever held here. This year
J let us go it one better, Curry
county has taken the lead with
its county fair for the past six
or seven years and now other
counties are adopting the idea
and will have annual fairs. The
News got up the first one where
the products were exhibited in
the streets and 1t was a success
from the very start. The only
thing that is now bothering the
fair committee is where to To-
cate the grounds and how to
aucomodate the stock. These
details will be worked out in
time, but it is certain that the
Accommodations will be larger
and more conveniently arranged
than they have been in the past.

there the night before and that
over three inches had fallen in
the past three weeks. He said

the use of step ladders to reach

the ladders.
