 ONE MORE TO BE NAMED.

 the Governors Race.

Little Rock
 Secretary of State Earle w. Hodges announced that George Thornburgh Of Little Rock, editor of the Masonic Trowel, has agreed to be a member of the committee to audit his office and that Clay Sloan of Black Rock, Randolph County. has been asked to be a member of the committee. MT Hodges said he felt sure MT. Sloan will accept. The third member of the committee is to be selected by the other two MT. Hodges said if these wished to have the legislative commit tee select the third member, he would have no objection. He would have ID objection, either he said, if the com mittee employed the same accountants employed by the legislative committee to do the work.
 ''T selected Mr Thornburgh because believe he is a man in whom the peo- pie of the state have every conli- dence," MT. Hodges said. He was once speaker of the House of Repre- sentatives and has served in both branches of the legislature. 1 feel the same way concerning MT. Sloan. He was for four years state auditor, was commissioner of mines, manufactures and agriculture two years and is in every way capable of serving on a committee of this kind. My main idea was to get men who would have no i'll. terest in politics and would have busi- ness ability. I believe l have them in these two"
 Following the publication of an affi- davit signed by l. r. Thomas, an ac- countant formerly employed by the legislative committee, in which MT. Thomas said the committee intended to make an adverse report on the of flee of the secretary of state regard less of the conditions found, MT. Hodges refused to Jet the committee longer work in his office.
 If I did not know that everything in my office will be found all right, would resign, withdraw from the gu bernatorial race and file a petition in bankruptcy" MT. Hodges said.

BURGLARS BREAK GLASS,
GET GUN AND CARTRIDGES
Rang up soc on Register at Herr
steins-TOOk s. for Change
Three Suspects Held

After a lull Of couple Of months
burglars re-opened operations in
Clayton Wednesday night. Robt w.
Isaacs' hardware and Simon Herr
STEMS ready-to-wear store were the
victims.
The marauders made entrance at
lsaacs by breaking a large plate
glass window. A 5000 rifle and car
tridges of the same calibre consti-
tuted the haul. The thieves bother
ed nothing else in the store.
AT Herzstein's the burglars at
tempted entrance at the Lake street
door and after kicking in the lower
panels discovered iron bar rein
forcements on the inside and
abandoned the job and effected an
entrance at the front by breaking
plate glass panel They understood
their business well enough TO pull
the string that operates the street
light on Main AMI Lake streets.
The thieves touched the cash reg
lister for about 50 in change. They
punched the So cent button in one
department of the register but
didn't sabe the workings of the 9TH
er side of the machine, hence miss
ed most Of the money. N1n addition
TO the money they took a sheep
lined short coat, size AZ, blue serge
suit, size 80, black pair of shoes,
size 7 l-2 or 8 and several neckties.
Mr. Herzstein says the thieves ev-
identity roamed over the store con-
siderable, as THE office safe had
been tampered with, but given up
as a bad job. Mr.. Herzstein has a
nice collection of finger prints
which he discovered on the safe. -
" Night officer Garcia believes that
the robbery took place between five
and six o'clock Thursday morning
Mr.. Garcia said there was nothing
TO suggest burglars until after he
had made his final rounds when he
discovered that the street light had
been turned off, but thought that
perhaps Mr.. Herzstein had come TO
ne store for something and turn
ed it off himself.
Sheriff Crumley arrested three
boys on suspicion. They are Manuel
Macs, Delfilo DOminguez and Kat
rino Dominguez. They appeared in
l.. w. Kingdoms Justice court Fri
day morning and gave bond for
their appearance before him De-

the Otto-JOhnsOn Hardware this
week Mrs. Fred Beatty was the art
ist who built biscuits, hot coffee and
things that tickled the palate of

Mr.. Hennessey maintains that
unless an oven is absolutely air
tight il does not bake perfectly, 10
which defect in many stoves he at
tributes the loss of religion of many
housewives whose otherwise per-
fectly good cake drops in the mid
die, on one corner or all over. To
substantiate his argument he had
Mrs. Beatty build five layer cake,
i8xl9 inches. After the cake was
baked, Mr.. Hennessey secured the
services of several Of ClaytOn's
ladies. whose aggregate weight was
well considerable-placed a plank
across the cake and invited the
ladies TO step aboard. The cake was
smashed flat.
But PrestOl In less than fifteen
minutes il arose again, just like Mr.
Hennessey said it would. Then TO
prove that he had no springs or
pneumatic tubes concealed within,
he caused the cake 10 be cut into
small pieces and served, and every
one said il was good.

Sheriff Offered to Resign


Monday afternoon Sheriff Robt. T.
Mansker appeared before the county
commissioners, sitting informally,
and offered TO tender his resigna-
ton as sheriff of Union county, pro-
vided the commissioners would ap-
point successor Of his choosing.
This the commissioners declined TO
do. but informed Mr. Mansker that
they were willing TO accept his res
ignation, and that it was their right
and duty TO select and appoint the
successor OF any official who might
resign or be removed from office.
Mr.. Mansker then refused to tender
his resignation and the matter was
closed so far as the commissioners
are concerned.
This plan was evidently hatched
in the fertile brain of Don Eufracio
Gallegos, who burned up gallons of
gasoline and wore dollars worth of
good rubber off his auto tires get
ting the commissioners together in
the hope of putting it across. There
might have been no objection to the
man MIR. Mansker had in mind as
his successor, but the commission
ers We're absolutely right in refus-
ing to consider the proposition.

CLAYTON SCHOOLS RECEIVE
MANY AWARDS At MEETING
Local Teachers Attend New Mex
leo State Meet 10 Listen,
Learn and Eat

Claytons force of educators turn
ed out in force TO attend the meet
ing of the New Mexico Educational
Association, held at Albuquerque
this week. Those who attended
were Superintendents Il. H. Errett
and ]. W. Thompson, Prof. Smith.
Miss Opal Slater, Miss Goldie
Spring, Miss Vida Macarthur, Miss
Sera Hutchings Miss Jamie Lee
COX, Miss Leavell, and Miss Nan
Morgan.
Prof Thompson was elected TO a
seat in the state council of the as
socation and was also elected presi-
dent of the Peace Association.
OF Clayton school exhibit the Ev
ening Herald had this comment to
make:
The Clayton school has fine ex-
hibit of the usual work, embroid-
cry, crochet, hand-painted envel-
opes for the drawings, etc, but the
feature of the peculiar interest was
the patching on Overalls and trOus-
ers done by little boys who begged
to be taught to sew like girls"
Prof. Thompson in his cores
pondence TO The News, has the fol-
lowing to say regarding the meet
ing:
mo doubt many want to know
something of the doings of the great
school meeting in addition to what
the Albuquerque dailies said There
were about 1900 teachers enrolled.
The two principle speakers were
ex-congressman Lentz, of Ohio, and
Prof. O'Shea of the University OF
Wisconsin. Prof. O'Shea gave four
addresses. | cannot undertake to
reproduce them but every teacher
who heard them is better and wiser
for having done so. was glad to
see so many young teachers there
1t will be an inspiration for them to
go again and finally they may catch
the professional spirit.
The Clayton schools received many
awards for good work, in fact we
believe no school received more and
there was also good work from the
county schools.
THE state association, besides the
general session, has many sectional
meetings. There was a county sup
erintendent section, city superin-
tendent section, a school board sec
ton. a music section and many 9TH
ers. There was spelling and an
oratorical contest The many pa
pers | heard read in the various
meetings were excellent. If there
was a disagreement no one hesitat-
ed to voice the fact.
There were so many banquets
that doubt if any teacher will look
oysters, turkey or chicken in the
face for month. Perhaps the larg-
est banquet was that given by the
Normal University. Over 200 were
present. The School Masters cluf
also gave a banquet.
Save one every Clayton teacher
was present and there were about
the same number present from tht
rest of the county schools.
The various school boards of the
state did themselves credit by pay
ing from half 30 all the expenses OF
the teachers TO the meeting.
We spoke of many young teach
ers being present. The veterans
were there too and were not asham-
ed to attempt to put on more know
ledge"
