recognized by the average farmer. In these times
OF unusual labor troubles when he is forcd to CON-
slider the uncertainty and high cost Of labor along
with unfavorable weather conditions in the cultiva-
ton and production Of his crop, he finds comfor.-

the tractor to which he turns with feeling of ndc-
pendence and satisfaction that makes him regard the

WHY STOCK IN THIS COMPANY rs VAL

Because its dividend production is based upon three
separate and distinct factors First, upon the sale
of the vehicles themselves; second upon the auto
bodies; third upon rubber tires. These three pro-
ducts which are the greatest dividend producers the
world has ever known stand A bulwark OF safety

returns upon his investment In view OF these facts
it may be seen that the stockholders in this company
have three chances instead of for dividends
Thus the company enjoys an advantage for invest

WORK ON BU|LD|NG IS
BEING DELAYED AGAIN

Work on the new Eugene Field
school building suffered another de-
lay this week when large shipment
Of brick was returned to the kiln in
Pueblo, Colorado.
The brick for the finish Of the
building were selected for their
beauty, and one shipment had been
received and put into the building.
When the second shipment came,
however, the brick were of much
darker color and II was decided to
return them and wait for more. This
will cause a delay Of about six weeks.
The material for the building,
which was destroyed by fire some
time ago, has been re-ordered and
will probably all he on hand when a
satisfactory shipment Of brick IS re-
ceived.
It is thought BY members Of the
board that the building will not be
completed before the first Of the
year.
In the meantime, the board is max
ing temporary arrangements to house
the school children, and it is thought
there will be no delay in starting the
school term. Several churches will
be pressed into service as class rooms
until the new quarters are ready.

CURRY COUNTY NEEDS
ROAD ORGANIZATION

With all the good roads projects
that Curry County is benefitting by,
there is still one project that is es-
sential to the welfare of the county,
according to many of the business
men in Clovis. This is the organi-
zation of the Clovis-Claud- Grady
Road Association, which will have
charge Of the up-keep Of the main
highway between here and the north.
ern end of the county.
Organizations have already been.
started in Claud and Grady, and as
soon as they have been completed the
local business men have agreed to do
their part in putting the project
across.
This road is the main connecting
link between Clovis and the wheat
belt in the northern part Of the coun-
ty. During this past week the wheat
haulers protested at the very bad
condition Of this road, and sent a
committee to Clovis for relief, guar
anteeing TO pay the expenses Of the
Improvement.
D. w. Jones, secretary Of the local
Chamber Of Commerce, and George
Steele who lives north of Clovis, vol
unteered their services, and spent
Tuesday in dragging the road with a
big truck.
"With proper organization" said
Mr.. Jones, ''the people along this
road could secure county and state
aid in keeping up this road, and pos
sibly federal aid"

CURRY COUNTY MAKES
GOOD PRODUCE RECORD

While Curry County is boasting of
her monster grain crop this year, 1t
is well worth while to observe the
rapid strides that dairying and poul-
try raising are taking. 1t is conseva-
lively estimated by produce man that
100000 worth of cream and eggs
will be shipped from Clovis alone this
year.
This amount is over and above the
amount consumed within tn, county;
and the estimate is based or present
shipments from Clovis alone, and Clo-
Wis produce men draw their supplies
from within small radius Of the
city
The estimated value of the wheat
and other grains marketed in this
community sounds big, because near
ly all the wheat and most Of the
other grain is shipped out. On the
other hand it is clly the surplus
cream and eggs that are shipped
because big per cent of these sup.
plies are consumed on the farm:
and in Clovis.

PLANS BEING MADE FOR
CURRY COUNTY FAIR

Clovis is unanimously behind the
proposed county fair to be held here
October 18th, 14th and 18th, accord
ing to Bert Curless, president of the
local Chamber Of Commerce.
Present plans include combining
the fair with the exhibits of the boys
and girls clubs Of the county, and the
affair promises to be a great success.
The high school building which was
formerly used for the club displays,
will not be used, and the entire list
Of exhibits will be shown under big
tent.
Since about 100 visiting delegates
from adjoining counties will be on
hand, it is probable that a series Of
tents will be used to house them.

GRANAR|Es NECESSARY.
To CARE FOR WHEAT

The car shortage which has been a
serious handicap to grain men since
the present harvest started, shows
no signs Of changing, according TO
local elevator men. An average OF
two or three cars q day are being
received by the elevators, but this
is not enough 10 hardly start the
shipping.
Up to the present time farmers
have had little trouble In disposing
of their wheat, but local elevator
storage space Is cram.hed full and
on many farms the wheat is being
dumped on the ground.
Bankers, business men and lumber
yards Of Clovis are anxious to helr
the farmers build bins sufficient to
hold their grain so it may be protect
cd until the car shortage is over and
the grain can be marketed.
At the present time II is estimated
that the county has only about 25Tc
Of the necessary bins to store the crOr
till il can be marketed, and at the
present rate It will take many months
to secure enough cars to handle the
grain. 1t is probable that the wheat
yield Of Curry County this season
will be 100000 bushels.
