Dear Editor and Sisters of the Social Corner: If any of you are interested in the braided rugs that grandmother used to make, and which are very much in vogue at the present time, you may like to know how to make a hand woven rug which is quickly made and also very fascinating to work on.

Bankers Meet June 6 and 7.

The Panhandle and Eastern
New Mexico Bankers Convention
meets in Clovis on June 9th and
7th. This was decided upon at
a meeting of the executive COM
mittee at Amarillo one day last
week. The committee expressed
the belief that this would be the
biggest meeting of bankers in
the history of the organization.
This belief is based on the ex-
preston of the leading bankers
of the Panhaldle. Bankers have
taken more occasion to meet and
discuss public affairs since the
outbreak of the great war, than
eyer before in the history of the
country.

Big Prairie Fire

One of the largest and most
destructive prairie fires to occur
in this section in years ragged
between Clovis and Melrose last
Saturday. The fire originated
in the tall sand grass just west
of Melrose and famed by a high
wind, spread with rapidity over
a large scope of country to the
north of st Vrain and Havaner.
Many farmers, realizing h e
danger, hastily plowed a few
burrows around their farm
houses and outbuildings an d
saved them, but many less for
tunate, lost their stacks of feed,
outbuildings. fences and even
residences. Almost simultane-
ously prairie fire ragged on the
south side of the track, which
was checked by the road near
the Doughton farm south of
Blacktower. Sixteen telephone
poles on the line between Clovis
and Melrose were destroyed as
were shacks belonging to Nora
Smick, j. F. Saunders, j. S.
Johnson a n d several others,
whose names we were unable TO
learn. A large quantity Of
stacked feed was consumed.

To Beautify Cemetery

A mass meeting of members
of the various Clovis lodges and
citizens generally is called fol-
Saturday March Is. at the Elks'
Home al $3.50 O'Clock to discuss
ways and means of beautifying
the Clovis Cemetery, where
many loved ones are how al
rest. The movement also has
the approval of the Masonic,
Woodmen. Oddfellows, Praetor-
ian and Elks lodges, who have
members buried there.
The planting of trees, shrubs,
flowers and of improving the
general appearance of our silent
city of the dead will be discuss
ed. The lodges realize that it is
only a short time until those
members who now appear hale
and hearty, will be resting there
and as they have no exclusive
cemeteries all should unite in
this good cause.
The grounds should be fenced
TO keep away the animals and
for appearance sake. Come out
and bring all your friends.

While apparently not much is
being said about the City officers
who are to manage the city's
affairs for the next term, there
is. nevertheless. considerable in
terest ia the matter and specu.
lation is ripe concerning who the
candidates might be. This in.
terest is doubtless increased bv
the thought that the new city
dads will, in all probability. sup
ervise the expenditure of a con
siderable sum of money for mu-
nicipal improvements and people
will be anxious to know that
these funds will be judiciously
expended. For the best results,
Tor the betterment and upbuild-
ing of the city, Clovis demands
a business administration by
business heads. and not a con-
tinuous agitation by agitators
with political aspirations. Just
a plain business administration
by our best business men is the
call of the people.
Dame rumor has it that A. J.
Whiting may succumb to the
will of the people who demand a
business administration nd
agree Go become a candidate for
mayor. Others who are more
than prominently mentioned are
|. C. Johnson, w. |. Luikart, w.
b. Cr0mer. Bert Curless, X c..
Childers, Jno Barry. ALB Aus
tin, Jack Morris. Either Of these
business men would be accept
able to a majority of the people,
but it is doubtful if they could
be induced to become candidates.
Certainly they have not aspired
to the position as their extensive
business interests demands their
undivided attention.
There are those who favor
Mr.. johnson, if he can be in
1uced to make the race, because
Of his satisfactory services as
alderman and his large and vari-
ed experience in public affairs
Like Mr.. Whiting, he is one of
the pioneer business men of the
city and is deeply interested in
its future development.
Let the slogan at the coming
election be "A business admin.
istration That's ALL. " !

Were advised that this sum was

templated improvements and to
continue the electrical service
now furnished. This amount"
says Mr., Chalfant, is not ex-
cesslve and if properly expend-
ed, should supply the needs of
the city for some time to come.
The water mains should be
extended at the earliest possible
date, both as a necessity and
for better fire protection. Some
OF the water mains, which were
orlglonally second hand are in
bad condition end it will be nec-
essary TO sUon replace these.
Some of the alleys in the more
thickly settled residential sections

it Will also be necessary to lay
several miles of new line and to
make extensions.

quate to meet the increasing de-
mand for water and light. The

ments, ID will need more
equipment to supply the future
demands.

two story residence of T. J..
Allen burned Saturday after.
noon. Miss Minnie Crume, one
of the operators of the telephone
exchange. an d Ralph Daniel
escaped death by jumping from
the window of the second story.
When the fire was discovered it
was practically impossible to
save any of the furniture of the
occupants. Miss Crume had
rooms on the second floor and
she with two or three men went
to the rooms to try to save her
belongings. Miss Crume and
Mr.. Daniels were cut off By the
flames and their only escape was
by jumping from the window.
Although several men stood be-
low and attempted to catch
them, Miss Crume sustained a
broken ankle and other slight
injuries. There was no insur-
ance on either the building or
contents and the loss was quite
heavy. there being only a few
pieces OF furniture saved. The
house was occupied by City
