Here's a Real
Good Joke

And now comes n letter to local
baseball headquarters offering Seattle
the right to purchase Joe without
from the Boston Americans. Can you
beat TT Just year ago without was
signed up for trial with the local
squad and he couldn't hit the Smith
building with barn door during the
early weeks Of the season, and he
was let out to Wichita. in the West.
ern league. where he busted the
worlds consecutive hitting record
He was sold to Boston. and now he
Is offered to Seattle again. Whether
or not the local club will consider the
offer has not been announced. but
with our present outfield It doesn't
seem reasonable TO believe that the
local club will take any chances with
the long legged outfielder again.

Farmers Agree on
Haruesters Wages

Five dollars per day for harvest
labor and $500 per day for man and
team, were the rates set by Curry
County farmers at their meeting in
the Chamber of Commerce rooms
Saturday.
Though plans for handling the
bumper wheat crop this year were
discussed, little else was done other
than fix the schedule of labor prices,
since all that is needed to harvest
the crop is the field labor.
Since most of the imported harvest
labor comes from the adjoining coun-
ties TO the south and west of Curry
county, and from the Pecos Valley,
plans were made to advertise in the
papers of DeBaca Roosevelt, Chaves,
Eddy and Lea Counties.
Will H. Pattison, chairman of the
meeting, was appointed to handle the
publicity work of the wheat growers.

CURRY COUNTY SCHOOLS
GET GOVERNMENT TRUCKS

W. W. Hungate of Pleasant Hill
returned Wednesday from Las Lun-
as, N. NJ, with five big F. W. D.
Trucks that will be used by the Coun-
ty Board Of Education and placed in
different school districts in the coun-
ty for transporting pupils to and
from school. These trucks weigh
5000 pounds and are without body,
but these will be either purchased or
made locally and put on the trucks
The machines are furnished by the
u. s. Government at an expense Of
only $500 to the county for each
truck. The only provision connected
with their being put out at this ridic-
ulously low price is that they be used
in dragging roads while hauling pu-
pills to and from school.
It is part Of the program to re-
ceive a number more Of these trucks
soon. Clovis will get two, Melrose
two, Texico three, and other schools
will get them in addition to the five
brought in by Mr.. Hungate.

RURAL PHONE WILL
soon Be IN OPERATION

That the Curry County rural tele-
phone system will be in operation
within the next few days, is the state
ment made by d. W. Jones, secretary
of the Clovis Chamber of Commerce,
Wednesday.
The poles are all set, with the eX-
ception Of about a quarter of a mile
near Grady, and about nine miles
near Fields and the work of stringing
sthe wire will commence Immediately.
Exchanges have been established
at Grady, Claud, lHolIene, Ranch
vale, Bellview, Pleasant Hill and
Fields, and two hundred telephones
are being placed in farm homes along
the line.
Work on the completion Of the
system is being pushed as rapidly
as possible by the Num- Electric
Company, contractors.
A meeting of all the stockholders
of the Curry County Rural Telephone
Company will be held in the Clovis
Chamber of Commerce rooms on
Saturday, June 10th, to select a per-
manent board of directors.

Panhandle Bankers
Here Next Week

Although an official program for
the Panhandle Bankers Association
to be held here June 22nd and 23rd
has not ben received, members of the
local entertainment committee are
making big preparations to the end
that the bankers will be well enter
tanned.
The first days entertainment will
probably include a short automobile
ride for the visitors before the ban
quet, which will be held in the Elks
auditorium. The banquet will prob
ably be followed by the "blackface"
section of the recent Elks Minstrel,
and later in the evening a dance will
be given in honor of the vicitors.
While the list Of speakers, and the
business to be considered is not avail
able at this time, it is probable that
many prominent banking men from
Kansas, Oklahoma and central Texas
will be on hand.
Plans are being made today to can
vas the town for all available rooms
for the visiting bankers.

AB0 PASS ROUTE WILL
BRING MORE TOURISTS

Clovis will have another string on
the ocean-to-ocean tourists when the
Abo Pass Route is completed fran
Clovis to Kansas City, according to
ID. W. Jones, secretary of the local
Chamber of commerce.
The route now extends from the
Rio Grande to Clovis, and the Cham
bcr Of Commerce has been working
for some time to complete the route
to the Missouri river at Kansas City
where it will connect with the Santa
Fe Trail; and plans for this extern
sion are almost completed now, ac-
cording to Mr.. Jones.
The present route of the Santa
Fe Trail extends north and west of
Clovis, going through southern Colo
RADIO and down through Santa Fe,
Albuquerque and on to the Pacific
Coast. With the extension of the
Abo Pass Route, through Amarillo,
Wellington, Wichita, and to the Mis-
souri river, the coast-to-coast route
will be greatly shortened.
More that 1900 tourist cars pas
sed over the Santa Fe Trail last
year, and Clovis probably will get
her share of these when the proposed
route is completed.
