Terrebonne on the
War Path! Beware!

Terrebonne is out on the war path
What Terrebonne? Why, Y. Terre-
bonne, of course, the proprietor OF
Terrebonne's Drug Store. He is out
with most deadly intent, and is US
ing as weapon a quantity of dead
ly poison. Doesn't it make you
s-s-h-i-v-e-r? Well, there is no need
for shivereing, as the particular kind
of war being waged by Terry is
against the ants in Morgan City.
And if the ants know what's good for
them, they will lose no time in swim
ming Berwick Bay and finding some
other place to live in.
Z In another part of this issue will
be found an ad for Terrebonne's Drug
Store containing coupon which
Terry wants you to clip and bring to
his store with lie. In exchange he
will give you full sized Is cent bot
tie of Terrebonne's Ant Destroyer
You take the bottle home, spread it
about the premises where the ants
happen to spend part of their time,
and presto! Gone are the ants, their
ancestors who happen to be alive, and
all hopes of posterity. But the main
thing for you to remember is the
coupon in this paper. 1t is worth Is
cents to you. and you surely need
bottle of ant poison. Terrebonne says
that che is selling it below cost on
this occasion in order to introduce it
in homes where it has not been used
before. II

RAILROADS CAN'T RUN
WITH REDUCED RATES

Washington, June S.--0nly by in
creased rates can the government
controlled railroads meet operating
expenses, Director Central Hines of
the railroad administration today
told the house appropriation commit
tee. He is opposed to any increase
because il might increase the cost of
necessities.
Mr.. Hines, who appeared to ask for
81 200, 100000 additional for the rail-
road Administrations revolving fund
for the remainder of this calendar
year, declared that while wages of
railroad employees had been increased
81 to SO per cent during government
control, they now were only reason
able and fair" He added that he
could see no prospect of reducing
them.

CITY CONTRACTS FOR
TEN BLOCKS Of PAVING

The City Council let the contract
Monday for the construction OF ten
blocks Of paving in Clovis. This in
cludes four blocks on Main Street,
four blocks on Grand Avenue and
two blocks on Monroe Avenue. The
bids were opened Monday night with
close competition between the bids
from the Bitulithic people ond the
contractors who will use brick, the
latter being about 81, 100 higher for
for the entire work. After consid-
ering both contracts, the council
voted to use the brick and awarded
the contract to the Rice-Babcock Paw
ing Company Of Amarillo. Part of
the body voted for the Bitulithic and
part for the brick, but now all are
united with the one pleasant knowl-
edge that Clovis will for sure have
paving in the business district and
that II will be completed by the time
snow falls.
The contractors say they will be
ready to commence on the work by
about July LIST, which will give them
about four or five months to complete
the work before winter. It is the
plan now to pave Monroe Avenue
first and then Main Street.

at the Elks Home the Unions of Clo-
Wis and their families and invit d
guests had what was termed a Get
Together Meeting" II was strictly
a social affair with a pleasing pro-
gram rendered by members of the diff
ferent crafts in the city. After vocal
and instrumental selections were rem
dered the chairman of the meeting
called on the head of each craft to
state the progress it had made during
the past year, and then came the big
part of the program-the eats. There
was abundance for everybody and
there was a big crowd there too. The
Elks Home was filled to overfowing
and there were perhaps 400 men and
women present.
One speaker of the evening brought
out the fact that there are in the
neighborhood of 1000 men in Clovis
who belong to the several labor Or
ganizations, the following organiza-
tions now bein affiliated with the
local Trades Council: Machinists,
Boilermakers, Carmen, Sheet Metal
Workers, Blacksmiths, Maintenance
Of Way, Railway Clerks, Retail
Clerks, Carpenters, BARRIERS, Painters,

in addition to the Brotherhood Or
ganizations.

voted a great success by all present
and the members Of the different or
ganized crafts are to be commended
for getting up such a good program
in such a short time.

DRILLING PREPARATIONS

Everyone is interested in the pro-
posed deep test well that will be put
down in the neighborhood of the
Shipley Ranch north of town. The
contractors, Messrs. L. f. Key and
]. o. Dasey, of the Texas oil fields
have deposited a forfeit that they
will carry out their part Of the con-
tract and already have placed an
order with local lumbermen for big
rig timbers to be used in building a
derrick. The contractors will do the
drilling with an up-to-date machine
that will eliminate all uncertainties
about the outcome Of giving this sec
ton a thorough test.
Indications are said to be good for
oil in several parts of this county
and should we strike oil or gas this
section will have a wonderful devel-
opment.

WILL COUNTY HAVE.
''' Al 4 FAIR THIS FALL?
b IHII IIIIU IILLI

The machinery has been set in mo-
tion to have a fair in Curry County
this fall. On Tuesday afternoon Of
this week a meeting was held at the
court house by the officers of the
Curry County Farm Bureau and some
of the business men Of Clovis at which
time the matter was discussed. The
meeting formed temporary organiza-
tion by electing Will H. Pattison pres
ident and Bert Curless secretary, and
after discussing the matter it was de-
cided there was sufficient interest to
call general meeting to discuss the
matter and, if it is decided to have a
fair, to begin at once to make the
plans. This meeting will be held at
the court house on Saturday after
noon June 14th, CONNIE ncing at 1 90
o'clock and it is hoped that a large
crowd will be there.
Never in the history of Curry
County has there been a more suit
able year to have good fair than this
one. We will have fine crops and it
will be a dandy time to show the
country what we really can do in

One of the big problems that the
County Commissioners had to solve
this week was the appropriations for
the schools during the coming year
About l5O patrons and trustees from
almost all parts Of the county ap-
peared before the board and asked
that appropriations for running the
schools during 1919-l02O be bncreas-
ed. The commissioners explained
that this would mean an increase in
taxes, but the patrons apparently are
unwilling for the efficiency Of the
schools to be decreased even though
it does make the tax receipt look a
little larger next fall for, without a
single dissenting vote, the some $50
men who had assembled at the court
house to meet with the commissioners,
voted for the increased appropriation
when the commissioners asked for a

Schools to Have Larger
Appropriations Next Year

sentiment from each locality.
When the trustees Of the various
schools in the county started out to
find teachers this year they were con-
fronted with the problem Of paying
more salaries which likewise meant
an increase in running the schools.
And who can blame the teachers for
asking for larger salaries? Teachers,
as rule, DO not get rich from the
salaries they receive and the people
of the county are no doubt unanimous
in the feeling that they certainly
must be better paid than they were a
few years ago for living conditions
have changed vastly.
In granting the appropriations for
the schools the commissioners gave
each district the amount asked for at
the meeting Monday and the News
believes their action will meet with
general approval.

tions count for anything.
