Clovis is strong for music, accord
ing to local dealers handling phvno-
grahps; and II is estimated that in
Clovis homes there are more than
500 monographs, and probably an
equai number in the homes Of the
farmers Of the county.
It seems but yesterday that only
few could boast of owning talk
ing machine" with its queer little
horn and cylinder records that came
in felt lined boxes and had to be
handled like glass Yet today nearly
very home has some sort Of machine
with a supply of up-to-date records.
1t is estimated by dealers that 80
per cent Of the records purchased
consist of popular and jazz music
while the balance is made up Of
classical, sacred and other records.

CAR SHORTAGE HOLDS
UP PAVING SCHEDULE

The shortage Of cars has evidently
blasted the hopes of Clovis citizens
who have been looking forward to
the completion of the twenty blocks
of bithulitic pavement which was con-
tracted for on April 9th of this year.
A. r. Hebenstreit, who signed the
contract to lay the pavement, has
been able to make no headway to-
ward getting cars in which to have
the paving material shipped here. He
has suggested that the city council
either cancel the contract entirely, or
advertise for new bids. So far moth
ing has been done and the contract
stands untouched.
The asphalt needed for the paving
comes from California, the cement
from FL Paso, and the sand and grav-
el from Fort Sumner, and so far no
relief is in sight for the tie-up in
shipping from either of these points.

BONDS To De SOLD FOR
WATER AND SEWERAGE

The sale of $148, 200 worth Of mu-
nicipal bonds by the city Of Clovis has
been advertised, and will take place
next Monday night. OF this amount
$l15,000 will be water bonds and
$33, 900 will be sewer bonds.
The return from the sale of the
sewer bonds will be used in placing
the much needed sewer extensions,
while the sale Of the water bonds will
take care Of the necessary improve
ments on the light and water plant.
At the present time the city is op-
Grating six deep wells, and the water
supply is sufficient to supply a much
larger population than Clovis now
has. However, the demands have
grown so large that additional equip
ment for supplying the water is need
60, and as soon as the bonds are sold,
plans will go forward for making the
water system Of the city one of the
most up-to-date in this part of the
country.

statesman as well as an administrator. EC
conceves and plans great policies as well as
carries them into effect--''he does things"
To this must be added that Governor Cox

resourceful and wise. He beeves-,inre-
servedy believes the mission of the Demo-

obtain in our country mans share of the
