MOVEMENT ON FOOT To
GET CITY MAIL DELIVERY

rlovement is now on foot to get free city mail de-
livery for Clovis Clovis second class posoce and for
nearly years the receipts have been sufficient to
title the town to free delivery petition will be crcuat
ed asking the department to send an inspector here to
pass upon the matter and if there any that the
town cannot get the delivery system established the Clo
Wis way OF doing things is to make whatever improve
mentS necessary TO get the order Of things Inaugural
ted About years ago the matter called to the
attention of the department but AT that time the town
and streets and sidewalks not quite up to
the standard 1t is believed that Clovis is now in position
to get the city delivery provided the matter is properly
put before the department. and that is what the Clovis
boosters are working now.
Free mail delivery means much more to the citizens
of the town than the daily delivery of mail 1t
that Clovis is then recognized in the city class; means
an advertisement for the town that will be worth many
thousands of dollars to the property holders.

NEW MEXICO MAY
Be DRY STATE

4 dry New McNiro after July lSi,
lolS This Is the result that II now np-
pears will come about from the first
official action Of the state legislature
which went into session Tuesday, That
this question will come up early In the
session Is due To the fact that both pO-
lltical parties have promised In their
platforms 10 submit II TO Il popular
vote and now each Of them Is trying
to yet the credit for It's enactment into
law Also il is Il question that can
safely be considered while each party
Is gauging the strength Of It's 0ppO-
nent without coming to an actual
showdown as to which party has the
upper hand
The law us proposed will not forbid
the personal possession of liquor in
the home, nor prevent its importation
by express, but it will exclude saloons
aud traffic in all liquors including the
| light wines and beers.
| A remarkable aspect of the prohi-
bition program is the fact that many
OF the old line politicians are Solidly
behind it. They are seeking II practical
law and will present it in u simple
form. There is disposition to fore
stall attempts To attach imp1ssiblo
provisions such as are usually offer
cd to impede liquor Legislation. A
resolution will probably bc read al
the same time in both houses, aud II
adopted will be enacted al once. .
The Inv will call for II state election
on next November u, and If prohibi
tion carries it would 90 into effect ol
the following July, giving dealers al
least six months in which To wind ~
their busi'esS.

THE NEW HOMESTEAD LAW.

A great deal of interest l. being
taken Ia the new section law and many
people from this immediate section
have filed on land west of here under
the new act. Not n day passes hut
that several covered wagons are seen
headed toward the west. Last week the
News published the full text of the
homestead law and all Of the avail
able extra copies were soon gone. The
new law Is going TO bring an end to
the open range In New Mexico, 1t Is
going To bring thousands Of new set

ABSOLUTE DROUTH
IN DRY STATES

In the most sweeping of all deci-
sisns upholdng prohibition laws the
supreme court this week upheld as
constitutional and valid the Webb-Ken-
yon law, prohibiting shipments Of liq'
uor from wet To dry states. 1t also
sustained West virginlns recent
amendment to her law prohibiting I'M
portntion in Interstate commerce Of
liquor for personal use
After having been vetoed by Prcsi-
dent Taft who held II unconstitutional
and having repaSscd by congress over
his veto the law was sustained by the
supreme court by vote of I To 2.
Leaders of the prohibitions movement
declare that II Is second only in Inn
portnncc to the proposed constitutions
nj amendment. Lawyers for liquor in
tcrestS who heard the decision admitted
IL upheld and applied the law in lis
fullest sense
Chief Justice Whicc announced the
majority opinion 50 which Justices DE
van,cr and Holmes diSSented.
"'rhc all reaching power of govern
nent over liquor Is settled" said tho
chief Justice IN announcing the decis

gress 10 forbid individual use Of liquor
The purpose Of this act was to cu
cut by the roots the practice Of per

We can have no doubt that congress

A SUBSTANTIAL GROWTH.

The growth of Clovis and the development OF
Curry county is substantial Nothing indicates this
more than the deposits in the three banks in the city
of Clovis There are now on deposit here over $500.
000 which is an increase Of more than 100 per cent
over what the banks had at the beginning of the year
1916. One good thing about the growth and develop
mcnt that the Clovis country is enjoying is that
it is not of mushroom nature. People are begin
ming TO understand the country and to know its re-
sources and our real development has just com
menced. Clovis is the best town surrounded by the
best section of country in eastern New Mexico. Come
to Clovis.
