GRAIN ELEVATORS

A meeting Of the farmers Of Curry
County was held at the City Hall
last Saturday to discuss the plan Of
forming a company to buy the eleva-
tors at Clovis, Farwell and Bovina,
and the grain dump at Havener.
Owing to the bad weather not an
extra large crowd was in attendance,
but there was much enthusiasm over
the proposition. c. w. Eager was
elected as chairman of the meeting
and A. L, Dickey secretary, and it
was decided to go into the matter
and see to what extent subscriptions
for stock can be secured from the
farmers generally. II. P. Miller was
named as county organizer and he
will name subcommittee to assist
in the work of securing subscriptions
for stock The deal will require
about 100000 and already about
500 900 of this amount has been sub
scribed.

CLOVIS TEAM WINS
BRILLIANT VICTORY

In perhaps the fastest basketball
game ever staged in Clovis, the high
school downed the fast Military In
stitute, by the decisive score Of 20 to
12, with one man short Of the regular
first team.
The boys remembered the last year
series when the Military boys were
defeated here and our boys there, and
in which another couplet Of games
were arranged for, but uncOmpleted
because the southland boys refused
to come here having defeated our
team there by two points.
With what they claimed was a bet
ter team than last year, because last
years men could only make the sub
list, they defeated the Roswell high
school by fabulous score Of, reports
say 10 to 0, or go TO 10, and also the
Canyon State Normal by 2S to 21.
The local quintet seemed to enjoy
hearing of these high scores for not
one doubted thct Clovis would win.
The difference IL size was apparent,
Roswell being much heavier, and the
difference in speed and endurance
was spectacularly apparent for the
Claws quintet darted here and there
pouring gold coin into their cage
For seventeen minutes the Institute
failed to score, and only succeeded IL
getting 4 points during the first half
while Clovis romped away with IL
The second half was a repetition Of
the first in which the Institute wal
held, our boys slowing up, havinI
slowed the game away.

IMAGINARY SCHOOL
HAS s8,034 BALANCE

Santa Fe, Jan l3.--An imaginary
institution of higher learning in New
Mexico has to its credit a balance Of
SS,O34.62 in real money. This is the
eastern normal college, which re-
ceived an endowment of public lands
in the enabling act that was created
by the state CT New Mexico but which
has not yet been established by the
legislature. 1t ought to be noted in
passing that efforts have not been
lacking to have the school established,
with Tucumcari and Clovis having the
cali on location. The financial condi-
ton of this imaginary institution is
in sharp contrast to the other state
institutions, that, under the increas-
ING cost Of living, have great Difficult
ty in keeping away from the danger
Of piling up a substantial balance on
the other side Of the ledger.

CENSUS ENUMERATORS ARE
NOT HALF THROUGH IN CLOVIS

One Of the census enumeratorz
working north Of Grand Avenue in
Clovis is said to have enumerated
S62 people from 166 houses, max
ing an average of five and .one-half
people to the home. This section
does not include the rooming house
district where, of course, a good
deal more than this number will be
found in each home In numbers and
numbers Of instances two families are
living in home in Clovis that is not
large enough fer one family. It Is
the opinion that the enumerators win
not be able to give out the fact Of
how many people there are in Clovis
until after the figures are obtainable
from official counts, but it is GER
tainly to the interest CT every citi-
zen In Clovis to see that everyone
living here is enumerated and that
we get a full count. The census
enumerators have a big task ahead
of them and they certainly need the
cooperation of everyone if they are
to get through with the work before
the first Of February. At present
neither one If the enumerators work.
ing in Clovis, Rev. l. N. Jett and
Miss Gladys Mathews, is half through
with the job.
