WHERE WILL THE
POsTOFF|CE Co?

There is considerable speculation
at this time just where the post office
will be located after the lease on the
present building expires next March.
The government has asked for bids
on a new lease for a term for five
and ten years and these bids will be
opened on September 3Oth. 1t is
understood that the owners of the
building where the post office is now
have made the statement that they
would not likely ask for new lease
on their building This being the case
there will, in all probability, be sey-
eral bidders with no knowing just
where the post office will go. The
knowing ones say that the post office
will not have near as-nNlch'i influence
on turning business ood, Plumlhad
as the town has gl ent
that we will, in all pfJAlR EnAve
city delivery in a few years and this
causes many people to cease making
daily visits to the post office.

ANOTHER HIGHWAY
ROUTED THIS WAY

Through the efforts of d. w. Jones,
District Highway Engineer, the end
ian Trails Ocean to Ocean" highway
has been routed through Clovis. The
first route was mapped out to go
from Childress, Texas, to Roswell,
following a circuitous route in the
section south of Clovis. Mr.. Jones
showed authorities the federal aid
that was being put on the roads thru
this section and succeeded in getting
the road re-routed from Childress to
Roswell and it now leaves Childress
going by way of Silverton, Tulia,
Dimmitt and to Texico-F -Farwell thence
to Clovis and on down the valley to
Portales and Roswell and across to
Ell Paso. The Indian Trails route is
one of the most important highways
yet mapped out as it runs from the
Atlantic to the Pacific and will, when
well established, attract much auto
travel.

THE FLU AGAIN

The FL Paso Morning Times calls
attention to the very important and
reassuring fact that if the "fu" is
coming back this winter we're going
to have our hands free to fight it
and fight it much more effectively
than last year. The Times says:
Medical authorities are at variance
as to whether the country is to see a
return this fall and winter of the
epidemic of influenza that visited us
with such tragic results a little less
than year ago. The majority opin-
ion is that there will be another epi-
demic, though p "eps in milder form
than last year. Opposed to this view
is DR.. William II. Peter, health officer
Of Cincinnati, who holds that the
United States has been made virtually
immune by the visitation of last fall.
Everybody, of course will indulge
the hope that DR.. Peters is right; but
health authorities should act upon the
assumption that he is wrong and leave
nothing undone to combat the dis
ease should it make its appearance
again. The experience Of Europe has
been that one epidemic of influenza
is invariably followed by another.
Bombay was attacked last year and
again this year. In view Of the dead
illness Of the epidemic in this country
last year, it would be criminal to take
any chances by lack of preparedness
this year.
Even should the epidemic come, we
may take comfort in the fact that we
will be in a much better state to meet
il and fight it than when it last ap-
peared, A year ago all the energies
of the nation were being directed to
the speedy movement Of troops to
France, and these troop movements
undoubtedly had an effect in spread
ing the disease. A great majority Of
the good doctors were in the army
and those who were left were made
quately prepared to cope with the
epidemic. This Generalization un-
questionably had a decided effect in
increasing the mortality from the dis
ease. This year we have all the doc
tors back with us and are fortified
with a large measure Of experience
gained in the previous epidemic. Even
if the "fu" should hit US again, il is
almost inconceiveable that II will have
as deadly results as last year.

HAM AND RAMSEY

Ham and Ramsey, the well-known
revivalsts, will commence revival
meeting in Clovis on Wednesday night
September "a. The Elks Auditorium
has been secured for the revival and
il will be well seated and room pro-
vided for all who attend While these
great preachers have never held a
revival in Clovis, they are well known
to most everyone in this section by
the reputation they have earned as
successful evangelsts and no doubt
the meeting will be one of the best
attended ever held in Clovis. Special
music will be feature Of the meet
ing and a great choir will be gathered
together under the leadership Of Mr..
Ramsey, who has earned the reputa-
tion Of being one of the greatest gos-
pc! singers in the south. Meetings
will be held each evening at the us
ual church hour and the other SER
vices will be announced from time to
time.
The revival is scheduled to last four

KINDERGARTEN MADE A PART
OF CITY PUBLIC SCHOOLS

The Board of Education have in
corporated into their educational
system the kindergarten which the
past past two weeks has been under
their supervision, but which required
a tuition. 1t was their opinion that
many children who should go are not
doing so on account of the financial
difficulty. The superintendent point
ed out that many who had signifed
their intentions of sending their chill
dren have not done so, and that If no
tuition were charged and the depart
ment made a free school as are all
the other grades, more children would
enroll. 1t is the hope Of the Board
that all parents will read, or be made
familiar, with this notice that they
may enroll their children at once.
The room will accommodate twenty
five in the forenoon, and twenty-five
in the afternoon.

SCHOOL NOTES
******%**%****+*

The high school faculty and super
intendont will give a reception to the
high school on Friday night in which
II is rumored a trip will be made
around the world. This trip should
establish conclusively that the world
is Of two stories, perhaps three, with
stairway connections.
The high school paper will make its
first appearance about October LIST.
Football prospects look especially
good, and a schedule will soon be an
nounced. Games have been asked
with Hereford, Portales, Fort Sum-
ner and Roswell.
The rain upset attendance records
for the week, and incidentally drove
several grades into one room. The
Eugene Field, due to stopped up lead
pipes, had small lakes in two rooms.
During the heat Of the summer the
tar melted and filled the drains, max
ing il impossible to drain the roof.
Consequently it soaked through and
came into the rooms in a stream. The
board Of education has put two roofs
on this building in three years in an
effort to prevent water from leaking
into the building.
When il is stormy children are per
mitted to bring lunches. The teach
ers have been instructed that this is
permissible. or course children
ordinarily going home at noon will
continue to do so during good wealth.
er.
The high school attendance con.
tinues to increase, there being over
2l0 on Friday of last week. Addi-
tional desks have been placed in the
auditorium, new classes have been
formed, and additional equipment
purchased to care for the unexpected
increase.
The high school girls will begin at
once a systematic course in physical
training. No girl is excused unless
she has doctors written statement
that she is unable to do this kind of
exercise. For the present the period
will be about as follows: Three min
utes drill, twelve minutes setting up
exercises, and the remainder of the
time in games. This will be followed
by a shower and a quick change in
dresses preparatory to going to the
next class. These periods are to come
twice weekly. Miss Sue Wilson will
have charge Of this department.
In very short time children not
vaccinated will be excused from
school until this matter is attended
to. Kindly see that children not yet
vaccinated are vaccinated at once.
Please understand that this is not a
Clovis regulation, but a state regula-
tion. School officials are to make a
report of what they are. doing to see
that the law is enforced.
The truant officer will soon make
some visits unless children Of school
age enroll without delay. The mini
mum age is six, and the maximum
age is sixteen. We hope it will be
unnecessary to have any parent be-
fore the district judge which occurred
last year.

NO PAVING UNTIL
AFTER THIS WINTER

Last week the city had one bid on
paving from the Bitulithic people.
The price was much higher than
former bids and higher than the men,
bers Of the city council figured that
the property owners would be salts
fled to pay at this time. The con-
tractors would not agree to handle
the work before next spring so it was
decided to wait until that time to let
the contract. No doubt bids will be
re-advertised for at that time, 1t will
not be necessary for the city to go
through the legal procedure of get
ting service on the property owners
again, and it is calculated that paw
ing viii be delayed very little by
waiting until next spring, and no
doubt the property owners will be
saved some money.

and rentals return to the basis Of
1917, with refunds to those who have
paid increased rents in the interim.

AMENDMENTS WERE
SHOWED UNDER

amendments were defeated by a
large majority, according to reports
from all parts Of the state. In Curry
County only light vote was cast.
The amendments relating to road
bonds and educational institutions
were defeated in this county to the
tune of about thirty to one. The
proposition allowing soldiers to vote
Jared little better, but it was decid-
edly opposed. There was no senti-
ment anywhere in the state in favor
of the amendments and it is difficult
to see how the legislature found an
excuse for submitting the amend
ments and subjecting the state to the
enormous expense Of holding a special
election.
