COUNTY HAS MUCH TO
BE THANKFUL FOR

Clovis and Curry County citizens
have much TO be thankful for this
year. Few sections have prospered
during the past few years as has this
county. Bountiful crops have been
raised on the farms, new homes by
the score have been built in Clovis
and the city has grown to a greater
extent than possibly any other town
in New Mexico. For all these materi-
al blessings the people of Curry
County should be very grateful on
this Thanksgiving Day. We can feel
grateful for the prosperity we have
received and we can feel grateful for
the most health-giving climate in the
country.
While it is true farm products are
not bringing the prices we might hope
for at this time, still the people living
in this immediate section are much
better off than those Of the older
agricultural sections where land val
ues are 50 much higher and where
the land is not as productive as here.

..as been recognized since the be-
ginning Of the war, this task was put
in allegiance during the last two years
because politicians feared the dan
ger Of giving offense to the foreign
vote on the eve CT national election.
Now it is pretty likely to be put off
again until the new administration
shall come into power.
The only gratifying circumstance
is that the discussions of this sub
ject, in and out of Congress, have
revealed a growing recognition Of
the fact that we can no longer be
content with a law which attempts
merely to select the fit from the
unfit. 1t has seen that the most
austere rule of fitness anyone has
yet suggested will, nevertheless. un-
der the great urge which the Eero-
peans now have come to this country,
admit foreigners faster than we can
absorb them into our industrial, So
cial and political life. Just as there
is limit to the quantity of water a
a clear stream may receive from a
muddy one without itself becoming
turbid so there is limit to the num-
Der Of Europeans we may admit with
out suffering charge in the char
acter of our national life. The idea
that there is no limit to the capacity
of the melting pot" is happily COM
ing to be supplanted by the true one
that if we admit Europeans, even Of
the desirable kind, as fast as they
want to come, we shall not merely
fail to Americanize them, but our
selves become Europeanized. Already
the evidence that this Europeanizing
process has set in obtrude them
selves on one who does not keep his
eyes shut. For some years at least
our migration policy should be such
as will not only exclude all the unfit,
to the degree that that is humanely
possible, but such as will also keep
out a large percentage Of those who
are fit by every test.

EXCESS OF FOREIGNERS

Even before the war, Europeans
were coming to US faster than we
could assimilate them. Now that
the hardships of life in Europe are
SO much greater, it is evident that,
for long time, immigration must
be much larger than it was. There
is no prophecy in saying this. Be-
ginning from a short time before
the war, European immigration has
broken all records, and is yet lin
tied only by the steerage capacity
of the ships plying the Atlantic. 1t
is to be regretted, for this reason,
that there is so little likelihood that
this important subject will be acted
on during the forthcoming session
Of Congress. Notwithstanding the
need to revise our immigration laws

BANKERS URGE THRIFT

The American Banking Association
proposes three year thrift cam
paign to reach every family in the
country. Aas part of the campaign,
government officials would be called
upon to practice the utmost economy
so as to reduce federal expenditures.
The thrift campaign does not mean to
stop buying but to start producing
and saving. We have been through
an orgie Of extravaganza and waste.
Small savers are to be the chief
source Of financing the normal
growth Of commerce and industry,
says the association, adding that pres
ent tax policies offer a scrions check
to increasing investment by holders
of large wealth. Not only must the

this necessity. The tax barden upor

Special Dispatch 10 The Trybun.

ARDMORE, Okla. Dec. 3.-The oil
fields of Western Texas day are the
center of the search for Clara Smith
Hamon, wanted here in connection with
the death of Jake Hamon, millionaire
Republican National committeeman.
Frank L. Ketch, lannon's business
manager and administrator of the late
committeeman estate, now is.p Texas
and is believed to have initiated q
search OF his own for the missing
woman. In addition 10 Ketch, police
officers throughout the state have beer
enlisted in the hunt, and it is believed
that Mrs. Hamon, wife of the nephew
Of the late politician, will be appre.
hended within short time
When +. w. Sails, Dallas service car
driver, left Clara Hamon at Cisco
Wednesday morning. she apparently
vanished into the air. 1t is known
however, that she has many inAue initial
friends in the oil districts Of TeSas
where Hamon had large railroad, OF
and banking interests. She had visited
the district frequently, as also had
Hamon. 1t is the general belief that
she has gone into seclusion somewher
in the district, and as result the
search has ceLtered there.
May Be With Friends
Cisco is in the heart of the oil ter
ritory in which Hamon amassed much
Of his fortune. In the last ten years
Clara Smith Iamon travelled back and
forth over tie district on his business
l here is theory that. tired of flight
She has sought refuge with friend
at Cisco or nearby and eventually will
make an effort to reach FL Paso, the
home of her father and mother and
her husband of a day, Frank Hamon.
1t has been learned, as q new de
velopment in the case, that Frank
HAmon has been living with the par
cnts of his one-day bride for many
months. "Clara Hamon is supposed tc
have separated from him at the behest
of Hamon. Rumor has it that she re.
ceived from $4,000 to $4,000 for this
separation. His presence in Cisco with
her parents is regarded as having sig
niticance.
Police in Ell Paso, Dallas and For,
Worth are puzzled over still another
problem in connection with the search

appearance. Frank lannon's motor cal

HARDING FAVORS

Says He Is Strongly Inclined"
Regarding Move to LIT Ban
On Literature.

NEW YORK, Sept s.-Senator
Warren @. Harding. Republican can
didate for the Presidency. has given
his virtual Endorsement OF a bill
sponsored by tho Voluntary Parent
hood League TO remove the legal re-
strietion from the circulation or
knowledge as to how the birth rate
may be regulated. according TO an
announcement issued from the head
quarters OF the league. 81 East FIFTY
ninth street.
Senator Harding has written the
league, according to the announce
ment, that he Is "strongly inclined to
favor It," AS q member OF the Sem
ate Committee on Public HeSlth he
was consulted about the bill by oni-
cisls OF the league.
The league reports. that a majority
OF the members of the Senate Health
Committee agree with Senator Hard
ing in the matter.
senator Harding's attitude" reads
the league announcement, 'is in
terpreted as additional proof that the
sensationAlism OF few years ago
about birth control has now been
replaced by the sober recognition OF
leading conservatives that 1t Is plain
common sense ito enable each Amer
ican, family to regulate its growth in
relation to sheath and earnings. IL
means that fewer babies die, and
those who are born have q better
chance.
"It is recognized that It not only
directly conserves life but that the
prompt spreading of this knowledge
through the various health agencies
OF the country will save an enormous
amount OF the peoples tax money
which now has to be spent for the
public care OF the Handicapped. AS
the II. c. of L. and taxes are the chief
worry Of the average citizen at pres
ent. II Is we'll worth while to help
each family to help itself. at least TO
the extent of regulating it's size.
while birth control was formerly
sgitated by rather conspicuous radi-
JaIs, IL now has taken a new lead
IN the hands OF people who object TO
sensation, but who feel responsible
about public health which is now
Acknowledged to be. an absolute ne
cessity for social and industrial sta
bility.
"The measure has the support OF
many well-known doctors, health au-
thorities, welfare experts, philan-
thropists and business men.
"The bill will be introduced at the
winter session of Congress"
The object OF the league is ITO pro-
mote the education Of parents. so that
the birth Of children may occur with
due regard to health, hercdity, In
come, choice, environment and the
well-being Of the community"
