$4,000 M. E.
Church Building

Some weeks ago the News
stated that the Methodists were
going to erect a $l0,0 church
building. This announcement
was a little premature. They
have met with such success in
their contributions that we are
now informed that they propose
to build a house of worship that
will cost at least $4,000. At
least that is the plan recently
adopted instead of $4,000 plan
and the indications are that they
will succeed in securing that
amount. $4200.00 has been sub
scrlbed to date and they expect
to get donation of S2500 from
the church extension board and
10 borrow another S2500 from
the same source. The Church
extension board meets on May
6 at which time the amount
which can be obtained will be
defnately known. The church
plan is 58x70 feet with a dining
room in the basement. 1t is
planned to finish the upper part
and the dining room first and
the balance at a later date.

A. L. Await Reinstated
County Clerk

News came from the Supreme
Court Clerk at Santa Fe Tuesday
to attorneys Patton and Bratton,
consel for A. L. Await in his ap-
peal from the action of the dis
trict court in ousting him from
the office of county clerk of
Curry county, that the de ,ision
had been remanded and tn e
complaint quashed.
This will doubtless mean that
as soon as court convenes again
May 8. that Mr.. Await will be re-
instated in his office from which
he was ousted over a year ago
and w. c. Zerwer appointed TO
fill the unexpired term. 1t also
means that Mr.. Await will be
entitled to full pay for the time
that he has been enormously de-
prived of his Office and that
Curry county will be compelled
to pay the salaries of two county
clerks.
The incident of the removal of
Mr.. Await from office on alleged
Irregularities. is no doubt still
fresh in the minds of the people
and his final vindication by the
highest court in the stete will
be the source of satisfaction to
the defendant and a cause for
rejoicing among his friends.
Mr.. Await contended at that
time and still contends that it
was a frame up" of some of
his political enemies who occupy
official positions in this county
and who instigated the removal
plot because he refused to chose
at their bidding. He has since
discussed the matter freely Civ.
ing names and facts which he
alleges were the cause of his
temporary political disgrace.
The salary which will be due
him, will amount to something
like 81, 10000.

The present standard of rates

companies feel that they are
adequate and even liberal to the
employees. These companies
have no desire to change either
existing rates OF pay or the
working rules, nor to reduce the
earning possibilities of the en-
ployes under their existing rules,
but in asmuch as your proposals
contemplate fun d a m e n t a
changes in operating methods
and practices on which the sche-
dulles have been built up, these
companies hereby give notice in
conformity with the schedules
now in effect that in connection
with and as a part of the con-

your proposals there shall be
open for consideration and dis
position those provisions in the
schedules or practices there.

DRESS-UP WEEK in
CLOVIS APRIL IA TO u
Local Merchants Prepare to Satisfy Sartoral Long
ngs for Each and Every Citizen OF Clovis Get
logged Out for Easter. Country Wide Move
ment Has at Last Found Place in Clovis.

Clovis has at last succumbed
to the inevitable. The move
ment that has been gaining in
favor all over the country for a
Dress Up week has struck Clovis
and the enterprising merchants
nave been getting together and
arranging a satisfactory date for
the men and women Of this city
to observe a day of sartorial
revelry. This city has long been
famous for the ''dressy" ap.
pearance of its citizens. Evi-
dence this, that prosperity is
extensive throughout this sec
tion. Practically all of the mer.
chants are satisfied with the
ime designated which is after
pay day and just before Easter.
Ample evidence that every mer-
chant in town is prepared for
the occasion Is proven by the
large and well selected stocks of
new spriug and summer goods
IN display This is true of both
ladies' and mems wearing ap.
parel and millinery. Never be.
for in the history of Clovis has
there been such large and well
chosen stocks Of new goods. 1t
3 true { hat Clothes do not make
the man, but appearance goes a
long WAYS these days and the
Wearer feels . whole lot better
when Quilted from head to foot
and when he realizes that he is
just as well dressed as the other
fellow that he might come in
contact with. The average man
also takes pride in seeing his
wife, mother or sister well dress
ed and this likewise has ten.
dency to make him feel more
contented if his own apparel is
well chosen.
Extrayagant clothing is not
necessary TO be well dressed.
We believe that every man and
woman should dress within their
means, but they can present just
as good an appearance if their
clothes are vel! selected as one
who has sthe most costly raj
ment
Every one in Clovis, who is
able should present himself with
a new outfit from head to foot
this Easter ard help present
that losperous look for which
Clovis is famous.
Some OF our citizens may not
feel justified in spending "a large
sum on a new outfit, but this is
not altogether necessary these
days as the art Of the halter,
shoemaker, clothier and haber-
dasher has been brought to the
point where you can dress well
and at a limited expense.
1t is a matter of common
knowledge that you can find
most everything in Clovis that
Can be had in a city of much
greater population and at prices
that compare favorably with
those elsewhere.
Join the we'll dressed throng
during the week designated and
let us.see you on the Main Street
promenade.

Although there was only a
small attendance of members at
the Chamber of Commerce Fri
day night, those who went were
nevertheless enthusiastic about
what the organization might ac-
compish for the good of Clovis
and Curry County. While some
few have expressed dissatisfac-
tion in the manner in which the
Chamber of Commerce has been
conducted, a careful inyestiga-
tion of whose who found such
complaint will usually justify
the finding that they never did
anything for the organization to
make it any better or for the
benefit of the town or commun.
ity. 1t is not for the News to
say that the Chamber of Com.
merce of Clovis has accomplished
much in the last few years.
This is too we'll known for sue.
cessfu contradiction and these
results, such as silo day, sudan
farmers day, county fairs and
many other such things speak
for themselves.
More can be accomplished for
the upbuilding of a town by a
good live organization such as a
Chamber of Commerce than
through any other agency. II
is the best means of uniting the
brains and energy Of the busi-
ness men of the community and
to get action that brings results.
The following officers were
elected:
President, Claude Miller
1st Vice President, Bert Curless
End V. President, W. B. Cramer
3rd V. President. A. w. Skarda
Treasurer, Alex Shipley.
Directors:
W. |. Luikart. S. A. Jones, A.
w. Sharda, W. B. Cramer, C. E.
Dennis, Bert Curless and John
Barry.
The election Of a secretary was
deferred until a later meeting
subject to the recommendation
of the president.
A better selection than Claude |
Miller for president could not
have been made. He is every |
inch a booster. He owns eX-
tensive interests here and hav-
ing been in business in Oklahoma
City for several years and a
of their Chamber of
Commerce, which is known as
the best in the world, he should
be in a position to give some
valuable assistance to the Clovis
Mr.. Miller was in !
here when the town
was new and he always took an
active part in all that stood for
progress. We feel that we can
predict without fear of success

able to build up our commercial
