BOOKS FOR EVERYBODY

Your State Travelling Library De-
partment is ready to send to any
place in the state, where there are
no public library privileges, the best
books obtainable. Have you and your
family plenty of reading matter for
the winter months? Would you not
enjoy reading some of the books your
papers and magazines are telling
about?
A neighborhood, a group, COM
munity not served by a regular IL
brary, may borrow collections of
books. These collections of fifty or
more are travelling libraries. Adj
ditional books are included on some
special subject if so requested. The
only expense to those desiring this
service is the freight which is to be
paid upon the receipt of the box, and
upon its return.
These libraries may be kept six
months. They are usually placed in
general store, post-office, or
residence, and frequently in schools.
The aim is to have the books where
most people will have the greatest
use of them.
Another feature of the states IL
grary service is the sending of books
to individuals upon request.
Our two pamphlets, "Do You Want
Book" and Books for Everybody
will be mailed free to everybody who
will write to us for them. If further
information is desired, address the

Guard Co. Ready
For Organization
Syndicate Hall Leased for Temper
airy Headquarters-Dr Dawson has
Charge of Preliminary Work.

Since it is practically assured that
River Falls will be the location of a
Wisconsin National Guard Co. with
in very short time, and arrange
r1ents having to do with its organi-
cation are being settled every day
which cannot help but be of public
interest, this paper will donate space
in it's columns every week to items
concerning National Guard work in
the state, and the doings of our own
INIT in particular.
DIR. Dawson Now In Charge.
DR.. C. A. Dawson of this city has
been selected by General Holway to
have charge of all preliminary mat
tiers having to do with the organiza-
ton of the new company, and of the
physical examination of applicants
for membership. DR.. Dawson is well
known in and around River Falls, and
during the late war held a commits
sion in the u. S. Medical Corps, and
so is particularly we'll suited to head
the new Guard Company.
Atty. L. S. DOolittle Is Assisting.
ATTY. L. S. Doolittle, who was over
seas with the First Division, is as
sisting DR.. Dawson with the organi-
cation work. His army experience
will make him another valuable asset
to the new Company.
Plenty of Work to be Done.
There is plenty of work to be done
however, so that no one need hang
hack. Evryone is interested in the
success of the new Guard Company
ard the community is urged to boost
in every way possible, and If called
upon to help out in an emergency, 20
fall to with a will. We want the new
Company to be complete success,
and for the whole towa TO feel that
they have an interest in its success.
Syndicate Hall Selected.
A committee has been investigat-
ing various buildings around town,
and they report that the Syndicate
Hall seems to be the best location for
temporary Armory. 1t will pro-
baby be leased by the State and re-
modelled somewhat to fit it for it's
new use. This won't mean that
dancing will cease in the Syndicate,
but exactly the opposite, for the boys
of the company will put on frequent
social parties there.
Organization Meeting Soon.
An organization meeting will be
held at some date in the near future
for the purpose of explaining the
organization and purpose of the COM
pany to the public, and everyone is
invited to be present. Watch TINS
column for the time and place, and
for further announcements.

lars, with no provision made for adj
ditional basketball material which
may be needed.
In view of these facts it would be
reasonable to increase the price of
admission. But this will not be done
for the present. 1t is thought that
if the price if the price of admission
remains the same a very much larg
er number will attend.
A large and enthusiastic audience
is what the team needs to win and
is the year that River Falls expects
to again capture that state champ
ionship. A big attendance at the
games will also help to solve the
financial problem explained above.

That Basketball
Championship

With the first normal school con-
ference game tucked away by River
Falls at Superior last Friday Red
& White fans are enthusiastic over
the prospects of another champion
ionship.
The first conference game on the
local floor will be staged tomorrow
evening when Superior comes here
for return bout. The score was
close up there, and tomorrow's game
is sure to be battle royal, and
should draw big attendance.
The experience gained in four hard
preliminary contests has put the
team in excellent form. They are go-
ing out to bring home the flag.
Unfortunately the matter of finan-
cling the sport this season is going
to be a serious one. The increase in
railway and hotel rates has added to
the travelling expenses. The cost of
athletic equipment has scared, and
leather and wooden goods have more
than doubled in price.
The following condensed statement
of receipts and expenditures during
the 1919 football season and for the
basketball season to date at the local
school will make clear to the public
the difficulty of financing basketball
this year:

No REDUCTION PLANNED
FOR SANTA f FORCES
Company Will be Busy Getting Road
Back to Pre-War Condition.
Outlook is Bright.

No reduction Of forces in any de-
partment is planned by the Santa Fe,
according to local officials. Every de-
partment is now busy and will be
kept busy in getting the road back to
pre-war conditions it was stated We'd
nesday.
While the freight traffic is unusu-
ally light at the present time, the pas
senger traffic through to California
is much heavier than last year, and
within a short time an increase in
freight shipments is expected. Fruit
shipments from California will start
in earnest within the next two months,
and a record business is now being
planned for.
While the labor situation is much
better than it has been since the war
and it is no trouble to secure labor
in all departments, the local shops are
taxed to the limit to take care Of the
necessary up-keep Of equipment. Only
a few shop employees have been laid
off from work over the entire system

.BRATTON SERVING ON
FAMOUS V|LL|STA CASE
District Judge Acts on Supreme
Bench During the Absence
Of Judge Reynolds.

Judge Sam Bratton returned this
week from Santa Fe where he has
been serving as a member Of the Su-
preme Court, filling the place Of
Judge Reynolds who is in California.
Judge Bratton, while in Santa Fe,
was sitting as one of the judges in
the famous Villista case. The sixteen
Villista murderers who were pardoned
by Governor Larrazolo on November
%, are now seeking through habeas
corpus proceedings, to secure their
freedom, their pardons not becoming
effective on account Of an injunction
from the District Court.
The Supreme Court has not yet
rendered a decision in the case and it
is believed by many that they will not
until after the holidays. These six
teen Villistas were convicted for their
part in the Columbus raid of few
years ago and the outcome of this
case will be watched with much in
terest by the people elsewhere, as
well as here in New Mexico.

POST OFFICE CLERKS
DOING RUSH BUSINESS

The local postoffice has been eS-
ceptionally busy this week handling
the outgoing Christmas mail. Each
days huge pile of packages has been
dispatched, notwithstanding the fact
that it has required some night work
to get the mail all out. The incoming
mail is also heavy, the Christmas
packages commencing to arrive in in
creased numbers this week.
Last year the local postoffice force
figured that they handled big busi-
ness at this point, it having broken
all previous records, but now it is
estimated that the outgoing Christmas
mail for this season will be one-third
more than it was last year. Already
the receipts from Christmas packages
have totaled more than last year
with the last three days of Christmas
mailing to be done.
Wednesday, Dec. %, was the heav-
lest days business and Thursday and
Friday are expected to be heavier, for
Notwithstanding the fact that the pat
rons are constantly admonished to
mail packages early, the receipts
show that the last two or three days
before Christmas are always the
heaviest ones. On last year the day
before Christmas was the heaviest
days business the Clovis office
handled.

HARDING ANNOUNCES
TENTATIVE PROGRAM

Marion, Ohio, Dec. 20.-Scrapping Of
the League Of Nations, adoption Of
resolution declaring formal peace
with Germany and the calling OF a
world conference to organize a new
Association of Nations Is the tenta-
tive program which President-Elect
Harding has in mind, II was under
stood here today. His plan for al
association Of nations includes two
basic features.
/. An international court, strictly
judicial in nature, to administer a
revised code Of international law.
2. Frequent meetings of the asso-
citation for conference over interna-
tional problems not within jurisdic-
tion of the court delegates not being
bound in advance.
Harding's first step in the organi-
zation of the association Of nations
probably will be a conference for
re-codification Of international law.
The keynote Of his plan is the in
ternational court which the confer
ence feature organized on loose ba-
sis after the fashion Of the interna-
tional forum" suggested by Hiram
Johnson recently.
The plan follows in general way
the campaign suggestions made by
Harding in his speech Of acceptance
and his League Of Nations speech
August 2S. It virtually ignores the
Versailles Treaty and the League Of
Nations.
It is likely that foreign adoption Of
the peace resolution informal negotia'
tions will have to be entered into be-
tween Germany and the Allied powers
over claims presented by the United
States to Germany for sunken ships
confiscation Of American property II
enemy countries, and other griev
ances.
The negotiations locking to new
association Of nations will proceed
through diplomatic channels ant
should be we'll under way within three
or four months after Harding's inaug

RAILWAYS ICE COMPANY
TO INCREASE CAPACITY
Will Build New Loading Dock and
Increase Storage Capacity
To 10000 Tons.

Doubling the storage capacity and
dockage space Of the local plant Of
the Railways Ice Company are includ-
ed In the schedule for 1921, according
to o. P. Walters, Manager. The con-
struction work will be started just as
soon as the material Is on the ground,
and the new building will be erected
Just south Of the present site.
Present storage capacity of the
plant is 10000 tons, and when the
new building is completed 10000
tons can be stored. The freezing ca
pacity Of the plant is 90 tons daily,
and this will not be increased at pres
ent. Tho company plans to store up
ice during the winter to take care OF
the summer rush, when the demand
runs about $50 tons daily.
Only a very small per cent OF the
ice manufactured here is used in Clo'
Wis. the greater part Of II going ia
the fruit and meat trains that pass
through here.
The additional dock, when complet'
ed will enable the company to ict
twice as many trains as they car
handle at present.

CONTRACT LET FOR
ANOTHER BIC WELL
When improvements are Completed
Clovis Water Supply Will Be
More Than Doubled.

The City Council, on Monday night,
let the contract for another big we'll
that will help supply Clovis with
water. The contract was awarded to
Sperry and Brunning Of Artesia, the
same firm that put down the deep
we'll that is now supplying the city
with water.
The contract price for digging the
we'll is $4,000. To this must be ad-
ded the cost Of casing and other
equipment which will run the total
expenditure around 1000. Mem
bers of the council figured that this
was a reasonable bid in that the
other big well put down several years
ago, cost within a few hundred dol
lars of this amount.
Work will be commenced at once
and the contractors figure that the
new well should be completed in
about ninety days. It will have a
capacity Of from 400 to 600 gallons
per minute or minimum Of around
$4,000 gallons per hour and will more,
than double the water supply Of the
city. When the new we'll is complet-
ed, Clovis will have the best water
supply Of any town in this entire
section of the country.

BAPTIST HOSPITAL IS
MAKING GOOD RECORD
Has Cared For Sc Patients Since
October 7th, With Not a
Single Death.

Caring for Sc patients with not
single death is the record Of the local
Baptist hospital, according I'd Miss
Hunter, superintendent. Three nurses
are now employed at the hospital.
The building is now completed,
with the exception Of part Of the
basement and a portion Of the in
terror decorating, and practically all
the necessary equipment is installed.
The building, which cost $4,000,
is an institution Of which Clovis may
well be proud, and the record which
the hospital has made thus far is an
enviable one.
