There was a big gathering of
Clovis citizens at the Elks A udi-
torium Wednesday night, who
were invited there by S. G. Pan
dolfo, who styles himself the
fiscal agent of the Pan Motor
Company a $5, 900, 900 organiza.
tion now forming for the purpose
of manufacturing a certain kind
of automobile to retail at $500.
The meeting was for the pur.
pose of interesting citizens Of
Clovis and Curry County in the
purchase of stock in the concern.
1t is safe to say that there
never was such a meeting pulled
off in Clovis or in any other town
or city in the United States for
that matter. 1t was a circus
and about the warmest thing
that ever happened. 1t was in
a class by itself. Yo might
live a century and never see
anything just like it again. So
far as amusement was concerned
free for all boxing match would
pale into insigniicance in COM
parison.
1t was representative gather
ing of citizenship of the city
everybody was there - ankers,
business aud professional men,
railroad men and others. They
were there to see the fun and
they saw it-plenty of it.
The meeting had been widely
advertised that the women at
tending would receive free punch
and the men would be treated to
cigars. The ladies band fur
nished music for the occasion.
AS a result there was a record
breaking crowd. And it was an
interested crowd too, for they
stuck to their seats from eight
O'Clock until nearly midnight
listening to the arguments being
made pro and con.
Mr.. Pandolfo led off with the
discussion and proceeded to tell
the audience how he expected to
make a lot of money out of the
proposition for himself, also that
he expected to make some money
for the investors who purchased
his stock, The proposition evil
IDENTITY did not appeal to the local
tinanciers who started to rip
Pandolfo and his proposition up
the back.
Two of the leading Clovis
bankers led the opposition
forces. They were Alex Ship.
ley, President of the Clovis
National Bank, and S. A. Jones,
President of the Citizens Bank
of Clovis. When MIR. Shipley
arose to speak Claude Miller,
President of the Chamber of
Commerce asked for a word and
proceeded to take the hide and
hair off Pandolfo and his propo.
sition. He had his sleeves rolled
up, like he was ready to wade
in if it became necessary. Mr..
Shipley followed with a ringing
address. He had prepared him.
self before the meeting with
numerous letters and kilograms
to back up his assertions. Mr..
Jones also made a talk and said
that if the people Of Clovis and
Curry County has any surplus
money to invest they could find
no safer or better investment
than buying mortgages on Curry
County farms. Hon. Sam Brat

was the last speaker. He stated |

figures as basis and it is a con.
servative estimate, a section of
land under irrigation of one of
these big wells would jump in
value from 500 to S64. 600 and

to $4,000.

CITY'S NEW WELL MAY START
AN IRRIGATION MOVEMENT
Is Attracting Widespread Attention Throughout the
Country--Something New.

The new we'll being bored by
the city for the water works
system is attracting a great deal
of attention throughout the
country. People are watching
it for hundreds of miles around.
1t is something new for this
country, and it is said there is
but one like it III the United
States.
The well was drilled with a
rotary machine to a depth of $50
feet. The first $50 feet was
cased with a pipe 40 inches in
diameter, while a Is inch pipe
was used he rest of the way.
The plan is to dig out large
hole in the ground at a depth of
250 feet, or at the bottom of the
40 inch casing. This hole will
be at least fifteen feet square.
The water will be pumped from
this hole to the surface by a
large centrifugal pump which
will be installed as soon as pos.
sible. Special machinery had to
be made for the we'll as nothing
could be- found in the market
that was large enough
City officials claim that it will
pump at least 250 gallons of
water per minute. but the ma
chinery people say that 1t, will
have a capacity OF 500 gallons
pc, minute. |, is said that the
big Portales wells are operated
on the same order, except the
water there is found at depth
of 25 10 30 feet.
1t is believed by some that
similar wells may be drilled here
for irrigation purposes and that
it may revolutionize farming in
the upper Plainsrountry. There
seems to be an ocean of water
under Clovis. but it is so deep
that it has not been found prac-
tical heretofore to pump it for
irrigation uses. The theory is
advanced that it could be lifted
from a depth of $50 feet for
irrigation and make it pay. At
any rate the big Clovis we'll is
making them sit up and take
notice, and the results are being
watched with great interest.
1t will take perhaps three or
four weeks to finish the Clovis
well, and the cost will be about
ST. 600. At aCepth of thirty feet
some hard rock was encountered.
This was removed by one of the
workmen who was lowered into
the pipe and cut it away with
hammer and chisel,
One Of the city officials of
Amarillo has been in Clovis twice
to watch the progress of the new
well. with a view of drilling one
or two in that city. The Santa
Fe people also have their eyes
on it.
At the present time the Clovis
water works is fed by five wells
and the total output is but
250 gallons per minute. The
new well will produce as much
water as all five of them and
perhaps double the amount.
The future possibilities of
these big wells are unlimited
from an irrigation standpoint if
this well proves to be a success
and there seems to be little doubt
about that part of it.
1t is said that a we'll of this
size would irrigate a section of
land. This would increase the
value of land from $40 to $10O
per acre or more. Taking these

VOTING PERIOD AND
SCHEDULE OF VOTES
1t has been said by some that
subscriptions will count for more
votes at the close of the cam.
paign than at the first and this
will make it possible for some
young lady to enter the cam
paign the last few days and win
the $400 piano over the young
ladies who had worked during
the entire campaign. While
such is hardly possible at all,
yet, at the request of some OF
the young ladies' who are work
ing now we have arranged the
following vote schedule which
will hold throughout the contest.
The contest has been divided
into two great voting periods.
Period No l. closes at mid.
night Saturday August 3.

Be PREPARED TO FIGHT

Nature is always fighting to keep us
well. Under normal conditions the
forces of health within our bodies keep
the disease germs in subsection. They
are not expelled entirely but they are
kept harmless.
Some indiscretion in diet and the de
gestion is upset; oyerwork or worry per-
haps disturbs the nervous system, the
blood gets thin and the ever-present dis
ease germs assert themselves. The blood
fights the bOdy's battles. Whenever a
wound is received, whenever there iscon-
gestion or inflammation, to that point
the blood quickly carries the elements
needed for repair-if it has them. But
when the blood is thin and watery it
lacks these elements itself.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills are a tonic
that supplies the blood with the elements
needed 10 build up the tissues, to repair
waste, to revitalize nerves, to stimulate
digestive action, to burn up the poisons
in the blood. In this way, by building
up the blood, they are useful in rheuma-
tism, neuralgia, sciatics, lumbago, neu-
rasthenia, nervousness, st. Nitus' dance,
and in anemia in many forms.

The Vote in the House.

! From the spirited debate which pre-
coded the voting in the House on the
tabling of the McLemore resolutions we
may interpret what took place on roll
call The administration forces showed
themselves in undoubted control of the
situation. On the preliminary Skin
mishes they stood in a majority of APP
proximately 100, but one which fuctu-
ated on the various parliamentary phases
of the issue until, on the final ballot,
it reached nearly two to 276 to l43.
That this controversy should thus ter
inmate was inevitable. Congress could
not impeach the position of the president
of the United States in his negotiations
with foreign power. Whether to do
just that was the paramount issue; the
warning of Americans off armed mer
chantmen quite incidental.
Our law makers are thus strong for
sustaining the president in his constitu-
tional rights, but evidently not enthu-
siastic over the specific issue that the
squelching of McLemore raised II it
were only deck over which an Amer
lean flag were flying, the safety Of which
were at issue, we should see unanimous
votes for any act of defiance to a foreign
power. But names. labels. signs, tokens
90 far in this world. And the American
people show only languid concern over
the rights Of their fellows on the seas
so long as they are travelling under for
cign flags. We believe it Of the highest
importance that the president should
not be hampered in his negotiations:
that his hand should not be weakened in
dealing with Berlin. To that end We
rejoice in the defeat Of the McI.emore
and al similar endeavors.- Boston Her

Serious Ailments Mistaken for "Teeth-
ing"

] In the March Woman's Home Compan-
ion DR.. Rogers II. bennett has an inter.
esting article on the danger some moth
ers incur for their children by blaming
every symptoms Of infant disease on
teething, which should be a natural and
easy process.
"'Baby seems sick, but | do not thinl:
l viii have a doctor because | think he
is only teething.' This is typical re-
mark" says the doctor, that is heard on
every side, and therein lies the danger
of the teething bugaboo. Every single
i'll a baby has is attributed to teething,
and many times the real cause OF the i'll
ness is not discovered until it iss too late.
This is one of the reasons why we should
know just what part the teeth do play
in causing sickness.
"Teething always should be, and often
is, an easy, natural process unaceompa-
MED by any symptoms whatever. Those
of us who remember how it felt when the
wisdom teeth were coming through know
that the gums felt full and uncomforta-
bic, but they caused no real pain if there
was no abnormality about them The
same ought to be true of baby's first
teeth"
