MUCH BUILDING To
TO Be DONE IN 1878

Indications are that there will he
much building activity In Clovis his
year. Right now there are numbers
Of houses under construction In town
and building has not really c0mmenc-
cd for the year as many ARE waiting
for spring weather to open up This
building talk Is not merely boom stuff.
Clovis is not on any boom and Is not
going to be but has enjoyed steady
growth for the past few years and
things are still coming her way 4
morrow II the real estate men had
seventy-five houses for rent. the News
ventures the assertion that they would
he all bargained for IN very few
days. All over Clovis there are places
where two or more families are living
In one house for the very simple reason
That they can not do any better. Peo-
pie nre not going TO put up with a
condition Of this klnd-they will build
new homes and many Of these will be
constructed during 1919. Clovis Is
properly located to make good town,
and most every body who has studied
the situation realizes this fact. Five
years will see Clovis with 10000 pop
ulation is the prediction made every
day, but 10 do this we must have more
homes. Let's build 'em this year.

be discovered in paying quantities 1t
would mean much for Clovis-the town
would double in population In short

BURKBURNETT Is A
GREAT OIL FIELD

Speaking Of the Burk-Burnett oil
field the Wichita Falls News-Tribuhe
says:
Burkburnett and Wichita County

by day. New locations are being made
and new wells are beginning to how
Drllers and biologists said Monday
that the high tide Of the production at
Burkburnett alone had not been reach
cd and that II was not near In sight
These men declare that they have
seen the life and death Of some Of the
very hest fields IN the world, hut they
had never seen any action to equal
that Of the. BurRburnett pool. This Is
stressed mere strongly probably by the
fact that the large number of the wells
now producing at burkburnctt are in
creasng In production daily instead
Of decreasing or remaining The same,
besides the fact that new wells are be-
ing brought In within the townsite as
good producers almost every twenty.
four hours.
Among the most encouraging fea-
ture Of the Flchita County fields Is
the fact that the producing wells can
now be found in every direction from
the townsite. Not only are these wells
being noted, but the production of the
wells outside Of the townsite is great
and looms ont to increase the field ia
an area which viii cover the entire
county, besides spreading into adjoin.

The interest In these Developments
is increasing each day. Big and small
companies alike are making new lo-
cations and derricks are lifting theiI
structures to the skies in the north
south, west and eastern directions
Just now the center Of interest seems
to lie around the Humble well on the
IIerndOn tract one mile northwest
If the Burk townsite. More than fifty
locations have been made in n small
area surrounding this well and addi
tional companies have announced thell
intention of locating In this section ol

While only the larger companies are
now active In this particular area, II
Is said that the smaller companies are
keeping their eyes turned in this di
rectlon with the expectation Of becom

this area.

Ther will be good music at this SER
vice and a special number
At 1880 in the evening the pastor
will tell why God has such an intense
horror for sin and why men are lost.
Tnls is subject that is so often mis-
understood. The minister often her
aids from his pulpit that God hates
Sin There Is reason for IT, Why
is It? The preacher often says in no
Nnmistakable tones that man Is lost
and needs Saviour. There is n reason
for that. Just why is 1t true? The
answer to these two questions will
compose the talk for next Sunday

The church-going habit Is a good
one and IL you haven't it try 1t out
a few times and see how you like It.
