two great needs at this time as the
News sees it, are a telephone line
and a hard surfaced road. The tele-
phone line would put them in touch
with market and business conditions
in town and the hard surface road
would make the marketing Of their
big wheat crops an easier matter.
The auto truck has come TO stay and
the right kind of road would put
them in only about two and a half
hours from Clovis with a load Of

wheat The bond issue that would
be required to put in this road would
not be burdensome to anyone and
would enhance the value Of every
farm in the Grady and Bellview coun-
try as well as the farms between here
and those places.
The trade trip as a whole was a
revelation to the Clovis business men
and there is resolve on the part Of
those who went to make another such

The agent in question has book
which he claims the government in

that it is the only exercise which will
make fat people thin, and thin peo-
pie fat; that a woman can endure
more cold water exposure than a
man; that people become drown
proof as they learn to breathe in
rythm. He also attacks the time
honored theory that going down the
third time means death.

first lesson in swimming which point

mersed would gulp in air as he came
to the top and exhale by 'mouse-pow-

rescue. That afternoon this man was
plunged into a river when his boat
capsized. He recalled the lesson in a
