Odd Fellows Meeting
And Banquet

The annual meeting of the
Curry Roosevelt Counties Odd
Fellows Association was held
here on the 26th, but because of
the inclemency of the weather,
the attendance was not as large
as it would otherwise have been.
In fact it is es timated that at
least $50 members from Elida,
Portales, Texico. Farwell and
points west who were coming in
cars were water bound by the
greatest storm of the season.
AS it was. about $50 plates were
laid at the banquet and the meet
ing was considered one of the
best in the history of the organi-
zation. After the evening lodge
session, the banquet was held in
the Croft building. Rev. M.
Reece pronounced the invocation
and Prof. Buckley acted as toast
master of the occasion. The
ladies of the Associated Charities
served the banquet for which
the menu consisted of all the
delicacies of the market that the
season affords. The speakers of
the evening were Past Grand
Master G. C. Hill, of Roswell.
J. d, Hamlin, of Farwell. and
Rev. c. w. Lambert, of Clovis.
After the banquet the members
to the Odd Fellows hall
where c. G. Hill delivered the
principal address. A solo by
Miss Lorena Connolley accom-
panied on the piano by Miss
Della Hensen called for an en-.
chore. Miss Connolley respond
ed with Where Ireland Got It's
Name" which was also much
appreciated. A piano selection
was rendered by Miss Anna
Cdrren. During the banquet
was furnished by Crofts
girls orchestra. This was their
first appearance on occasions of
this kind and they were greeted
with enthusiastic applause.

Our Wheat District

The News men in company
with A. l.. Await and Dave
Courtney made a tour of inspec-
tion of the big wheat district
northeast Of Clovis and in the
Hollene section last week in Mr..
Courtney's big overland, which
he 30 kindly donated for the
purpose. We also visited the
big Shipley Brothers ranch,
which is now being improved
and will be in trim shape for the
Bankers inspection next June.
The wheat prospects were the
finest we ever saw. This is
especially true in the Chas Fahs-
holtz neighbor hood. Mr.. Fahs.
holtz will buy a new Case sepa-
rator and get in shape for the
big harvest that is practically
certain. At one place the sod
was being turned for miles with
a tractor and plows and it looked
like farming operations in the
older settled agricultural coun-
tries rather than in New Mexico.
Much stock has been brought in
to the country during the past
season and all that we observed
were in the best of shape.

of which attended. Address es

State Deputy Mcdonald and a
number of others.

Shaw For Representative

L. E. Bob" Shaw has an
nounced in this weeks issue of
the News for Representative of
Curry County in the New Mexico
legislature. subject to the action
of the Democratic primaries,
June 10. Mr.. Shaw's announce
ment should have appeared in
last weeks issue but was mad
vertently overlooked. Mr..
S haw is too we'll known in Clovis
to need any introduction on our
part, but for the benefit of the
rural readers, the News will
state that Mr.. Shaw came to this
section about sew en- years ago
and has been railroading the
greater portion of the time,
though he held down a claim
near Mountalnalr for some years
and is therefore personally ia.
miliar with the trials and tribu.
lations of a New Mexico farmer.
He was only recently severely
injured in the discharge Of his
duties as a fra inman when he
had a foot amputated and he is
therefore incompacit ated from
doing further work OF that kind.
He seeks the position to which
he aspires, not as matter of
charity, but he believes that he
is fully capable of serving the
people of Curry county in a
creditable manner.

BIG CHAMBER MEETING
HELD FRIDAY NIGHT
About Forty Present in Gettogether Meeting and
the New Organization Starts Out with Spirit
that Indicates Something will be Accomplished.

One of the biggest and best
Chamber meetings in some
months was held in the Chamber
of Commerce hall Friday night.
1t was the first time that Presi-
dent elect Claud Miller had pre-
sided over that body and the oc-
casion was one of interest and
pleasure to all. AS we have
stated before, Mr.. Miller is a
''live wire" in the boosting
game and having been a member
of the Oklahoma City Chamber
of Commerce for many years,
when that city was the best for
its age in the country, he knows
exactly, how, when and where
to do the thing that will bring
the results. Johnson's $ Chamber
of Commerce Band played before
the meeting and about forty or
fifty responded to the call Mr..
Miller proposes to make the
organization a success and with
the assistance of those who at.
tended and those who are like
wise interested in such an or.
ganiZation which is destined to
make Clovis a greater city and
Curry county greater county,
he is going TO doit. Committees
were appointed on membership
and at the next meeting it is
proposed to lay plans for a big
banquet. 1t is further under
stood that such occasions will in
the future be held often. The
object is. to get.together and
discuss matters for the best in
terests of the town and county.
Mr.. Miller made a splendid talk,
asking the business men to lay
aside all personal grievances and
animosities, if any existed. and
work for a common cause which
will be of benefit to all. Mem
bership dues were placed at so
cents a month and practically
all those present came forward
with the required amount.

Sadler and Irvine
Reappointed

At the last meeting of the city
council, Mayor K. G. Childers
reappointed Finis E. Sadler as
night marshal and Chas D..
Irvine as day marshal. Both
officers have been on the force
for several years and are known
throughout the state as a terror
to all evil doers. Ervine is calm,
deliberate, reasonable but de-
termined. He is young but with
more experience in the business
will, we believe, make one of
the best officers in the south
west. Sadler though possibly
of a more excitable nature, is
nevertheless reasonable and is
known all over the state as the
man who enforces the ordi-
nances. This is particularly
true in keeping the town clean
of .lewd women and undesirable
characters.

Await Takes Office

II must have been a peculiar,
though delightful sensation for
County Clerk A. l.. Await to as
sumo the duties of his office
again last Monday, after an ab-
sence of two years, during which
time he has been :'scrapping"
in the courts for reinstatement.
Judge Richardsod came up from
Roswell last week to carry out
the mandate of the Supreme
court and by consent, Mr.. Await
was ordered reinstated in his
office Monday.

A Heavy Rain

The heaviest precipitation here
this year occurred Tuesday
night. 1t rained practically all
night and kept up a steady
downpour and a considerable
amount of rain fell again We'd

weeks ago the wheat and gr ass
has been growing by leaps and
bounds. With this big rain
following at this time. there is
general rejoicing among the
stockmen Of Curry county and
the business men of Cloyis are
very optimistic. Everything in
and about Clovis spells prosper
ity and the outlook is anything
but gloomy. From all reports
the rain was general.

MAYOR WILL DESIGNATE
A CLEAN UP DAY
The Sentiment is to Have Cleaner and Better
Looking City Before the Bankers Convention
Meets Here and the Mayor will Designate
Clean Up Days.

The slogan is Cleanup, Paint
up and t'ix.up." While it is not
to convey the impression that
Clovis is any dirtier than any
other town of its size in this
section of the country. it is well
TO clean up at this season of the
year and the designation of such
a day is in keeping with the an
nual custom. Disease germs
thrive in filth of all kinds and a
general cleaning up, especially
of all manure piles and tin cans
will do more to swat the fly than
ten times as much effort later
on. Not alone should we clean
up, but PAINTUP. We are not
referring to the fair sex when
we say paint up, but to the city
or CLOVIS. You don't need to
paint the town red but paint it
some appropriate color. While
YOU are cleaning and painting do
a little fixing to that back yard
fence; that chicken house or the
premises in general. 1t all goes
in on the deal. Every man, wo.
man and child in town should be
interested in this cleanup, paint
up and fX.up campaign. 1t will
essen the chances for diseases
this summer and help to give
Clovis the title of city beauti.

CLEAN UP AND PAINT UP!

TELLOW CITIZENS: Let us get together and
~ make this town of ours the most hcalthful and
most inviting in the State. To do this VIC must

our atics cellars stables, sheds Yards Streets alleys
and vacant lots of trash dirt junk filth, garbage
rags, cans, bottles and weeds We must empty toilets
cover manure heaps. drain barn lots ill up mudhoes
and shiny l-smelling ponds, open cutters, repair
streets and burn rubbish.
Then we must use soap and scrub brushes brooms
rakes and shoyes We must throw lime freely about
toilets and stables Why? Because disease germs
and germ-carrying insects. especially flies and mos
qlrtoes breed in filth and spread typhoid and con-
sumption when they enter our living rooms. alight
on our food, or bite while sleep.
After the dirt is gone We must repair our buildings
and fix fences--and then lay on the paint
Paint everything that needs it. inside aud out for
paint is the best known preservative and its brighten
ing influence will make the dullest town in the world
look spick and span.
OF course when we buy paint and lime we put

lice;" the other Council Meets With
Ministers on Liquor
Now I wish to express to the Min
isterial association and all other asso-
Citations and the citizens of the city Of
Keokuk and Lee county who are in IA
vor Of law enforcement, my feelings
in regard to the present violations OF
liquor laws in our midst.
Since January l, have had my at
tention called several times to places
where liquor was being sold contrary
to law. In every case the party CIV
ing this information never bought or
saw any liquor bought or sold In the
place mentioned, but on being ques-
toned would volunteer more advice
by saying: ''Oh, everybody knows 1t
is bootlegging joint and should be
pulled" / would then ask them to
give me the names of two or more
witnesses whom they knew had pur-
chased liquor there. All wanted was
the names of witnesses and ! would
do the rest, their names not to appear
in the matter. They never could call
to mind any names OF witnesses at
the time, but would promise me the
names Of many good witnesses in the
near future. But have not seen nor
ucdTO lIO1 IlI0u yet. 4NOWp ! WELL W
make more clear to the people who
are interested in this matter the diff
ference between the city and state
laws and the United States laws.
Your city officers claim they must
have a witness to swear to the pur-
chase of liquor and also witness to
swear he saw the purchase made.
such as the exchange Of money and
bottles. This leaves the impression
with the people that If two men go
to place to purchase liquor and they
both make purchase. but make the
purchase separately, when one is not
watching the other, or, for instance,
step into a side room one at . time
to make the purchase. there Is no evil
dence of sale and case cannot be
made out against the place.
Now, wish to state that the United.
States laws are much different AL
they require is two or more Witnesses
that will testify to the purchase of
liquor, individually or with someone
or in crowd on the same day and
date or any other day and date; also
preserve in evidence the liquor pur-
chased, If possible. Now, don't pur-
chase liquor in these places and
show it to q few of your friends and
then destroy 1t without giving an Of
ficer Of the law chance to help you.
But come to me with your evidence
and will help you get more evidence,

decision of the great American jury should De
based upon the weight Of argument.
THE NEGRO VOTE.

The fact may not be generally realized, but
there are states Of the union in which, unuer
normal conditions, the negro voters hold the
balance of power. 1t may not be wholly deslr-
able that our colored citizens should support
one party exclusively and all the time II the
colored voters of the south were equally OIL
vided between the two great parties there IS no
doubt that several Of the cotton states would
long ere this have swung into the republican
line. However, the negroes naturally feel that
they owe their first allegiance to the republican
party, and the conditions in this campaign are
such as seemingly to make it certain that their
votes will go to Mr.. Hughes President Wilson
has permitted, if he has not encouraged, certain
members of his cabinet to segregate the colored
clerks in their departments, and ne departed
from the rule established by his predecessors OF
colored man register OF the United
States treasury. The fact has also been brought
out that Mr.. Hughes as justice wrote the opln-
ion which held unconstitutional the grand
father clause in the Oklahoma constitution IN
tended to disfranchise negro voters. Presum-
ably therefore the colored voters in the north
ern states viii naturally gravitate to the repub-
lican candidate.

License for Party Editors.

Cedar Rapids Gazette: 1t is becom-
ing more apparent that the business

san editor should be standardized
and the most comprehensive plan
would appear to be establishment Of
board Of examiners and the issu-
ance Of licenses and permits to praa-
tice the calling in the nsme of the

The party Is at great expense for
the election Of delegates and the
lease and furnishing of convention
hall in order that a PLATFORM, declar-
ing the unalterable principles OF the
organization, may be Officially promul-
gated. This effort is largely wasted
because many editors continue to use
the unalterable principles Of the pre-
vious campaign and deliver broad
sides at random frequently INJECTING
the most distressing casualties on
contingents of their allies. Not enough
care is shown in examining the date
on unalterable principles. Each positl-
cal platform should conclude with
this clause: "All conscientious con-
vtctions or parts of conscientious con-
victions in conflict with the foregoing
are hereby repealed" If such care
should be shown by the convention
the editor who afterwards got on the
wrong side of a vital issue" would
have only himself to blame.

Where Things Happen.

Outing: No wonder that poodle
like the west They move towns
around, move banks and bu,iness en-.

he meets an automobile but what it
is carrying a whole city to be laid
out and constructed and doomed, all
from that ono cara real city, too
which in a year or two produces =
governor, cattle king, an oil gusher,
and no one car tell what ali. Ons
day the prairie is bare and bleak, and
the next 1t Is covered with tents.
Within week tar paper shacks have
replaced the tents, and then come
painted houses and rows Of trees.
Very rapidly the rich old grazing
lands of the prairie are being turn
ed into farms. The plows are cut.
ting through right out to the edges of
the bad lands. The new country is
growing up and becoming old and sci.
tied and wealthy.
