EXEMPT FROM INCOME TAX
BUT SENDS CHECK FOR SIC

Little Rock, Ark, March 14.-Jack
Walker, local collector Of internal
revenue experienced the greatest
shock Of his official career today
when he received letter from man
living at Carlisle, Arkansas, who
wanted to contribute $40 toward de-
fraying the governments expenses,
although the man was not liable for
an income tax.
After explaining that he was not
required to pay an income tax the
man wrote: "Yet feel that | am
justly due to pay some portion Of the
war expenses Of the government. ]
am therefore enclosing my check for
$40, hoping that you have a fund Of
this kind that can add to. do not
want to appear unpatriotic to the best
government"
Since the internal revenue depart.
ment has no charity fund, Mr.. Wal
ker will return the ten dollars.

BIC FREIGHT SHIPMENTS
DURING PAST FEW MONTHS

The past six ronths has been a
most prosperous time for all of Cur
ry County. Car load after car load
Of grain and other products have been
shipped from the county. Many peo-
pie right here at home do not appre-
cinte how much has been produced
in Curry County and the News has an
idea that some people living in the
older agricultural states do not con-
ceive how much has really been pro-
duced in this wonderful section. We
give below the number Of gar loads
Of grain and stock that have been
shipped from Clovis alone during the
past several months, all Of this repre-
senting the 1919 crop. The value Of
each product has been computed as
accurately as possible.

DR.. LYNCH ANNOUNCES
FOR co. COMMISSIONER

DIR. J. d. Lynch Of Melrose author
ICES the News to announce his candid
acy for the office Of County Commits
sioner Of District No. 3, subject to
the action Of the Democratic primary
election. DR.. Lynch served two years
as a member of the board Of COM
missioners from 1915 to 1918 and
made n good commissioner, at all
times doing what he considered was
for the best interests of the county,
His friends say that he will serve the
county in the same efficient manner
II he is elected to the position again.
DR.. Lynch is q practicing physician
at Melrose and Is well known over
the county.
The Clovis news. [volume] (Clovis, N.M.) 1907-1929, 1920-03-18


II has been estimated that there
are at least 200 cars Of maize and
kaffir in the county to be shipped at
a value Of $4,000; 40 cars Of In
dian corn at value Of s65,000; 100
cars Of broom corn at a value OF
$4,000, and l5 cars of wheat at u
value Of $4,000.
The above figures account for the
grain and products that have been
shipped from Clovis alone and it is
estimated that they really represent
only about one-half the number Of
carloads that have been, or will be,
shipped out Of the county. Melrose
has shipped about one-thrd as many
carloads as Clovis and on account Of
the Texas rate great part Of the
grain raised In the eastern and north
eastern part Of the county has gone
to Farwell and to nearby Texas
points.
Much Of the grain in the way OF
feed stuff will not be sold at all by
the farmers this year. Many are
holding their grain with the intention
Of feeding il. This past year has
been a wonderful crop year for Cur
ry County and Il the county produces
another such one this year, with the
farmers now all having a surplus Of
feed on hand, some still more startl.
ing shipping figures can be furnished
this time next year.
