LEGION MEMBERS ARE
PREPARING FOR ROUNDUP

The Dean Lucas Post has complet-
ed arrangements for the Roundup to
be held at Clovis August 18th, 10th
and Goth, and the public is assured of
an entertaining performance. II is
announced that some of the interest
ing features of the show will be the
lady riders, cowboy clowns and calf
roping. Other attractions will be
the wild steer roping and riding, wild
horse riding and COW pony races. In
fact they are going to have every at
traction that goes to make a Round
Up success.
There will be expert riders and
ropers from all over the country par
ticipating in the roundup, and the
cattle and horses are the very best,
all wild and woolly and are guaran-
teed to make the riders do their best.
The members of the Post state that
with weather permitting, the Round.
Up will be one of the best staged in
this part of the country and will be
well worth any ones time to be in

MAY RECONSIDER
COUNTY AGENT MATTER

In all probability the matter of in
cluding an appropriation in next
years budget for the county agricul-
tural agent will again come before
the county commissioners. At re-
cent meeting the commissioners de-
cided to eliminate this expense for
1921, but it seems that many Of the
farmers and others would rather pay
the small expense than to dispense
with this important work at this time
and lose all that has been done in the
past years. Only a portion of the
expense Of maintaining the county
agents work comes directly from
Curry County and for this reason the
elimination of the expense will
amount to a very little to the tax
payers of the county. In all prob,
ability a petition will be circulated
requesting the commissioners to re-
consider their recent action.

Potatoes Grow on
Broom Corn Here

On display at the Union Mortgage
Co. this week is a broom corn stalk
with an Irish potato as big as hens
egg growing on its roots. One of the
roots Of the broom corn passes entire
ly through the potato. No doubt
there was a potato vine near the
broom corn stalk, and evidently Cur
ry County potatoes have just grown
so fast this year that the broom corn
root could not get out Of the way
fast enough to keep from being en-
veloped.

Phone Company
To Increase Rates

The Mountain States Telephone
Company has filed schedules in the
office Of the Corporation Commission
at Santa Fe that will increase tele-
phone rates in most cities in New
Mexico, effective September 1st.
The company says these raises in
rates will not cover the deficit which
for 1920 was $4,000, based on
per cent return, although toll rates
were increased during the year.
Clovis gets a fifty cent raise in
one and two party business rates and
the one party residence rate. The
two-party residence rate is raised %
cents.
AT Texico and Portales exchanges
the one-party business rate is increas
ed so cents, the One-party residence
rate so cents, and four-party resi-
dence service established at $500.

WEEDS lNJURE THE
GRADE OF WHEAT

At local elevator this week the
News man was shown the cleanings
from quantity of wheat that had
gone through the machinery. 1t is
almost inconceivable the amount of
weed seed that is taken from the av-
erage load of wheat. This is due to
the fact that the farmers have not
been able to get their cutting done
on account of the rains and the weeds
have grown up in the wheat before it
is harvested.

Fails To Pass
Milk Ordinance

The city council had up before it
Monday night an ordinance requiring
the inspection of dairies. The pro-
posed ordinance not only provided
for dairy cattle receiving the tubercu-
lin test but also put various and sun
dry restrictions around those engaged
in the business. The ordinance was
patterned after the one in force at
Roswell but members of the Council
expressed the opinion that while Clo-
Wis needed law regulating those sell
ing milk, the one proposed was too
complicated and it was voted down. A
simpler ordinance viii likely be pass
ed at a later date.

We, the grand jury, empaneled at
this the August, A. d. 1921, term of
the District Court, in and for the
County of Curry and State of New
Mexico, beg leave to submit the fol-
lowing as our final report:
We have carefully investigated all
violations Of the law brought to our
attention, and have examined and
made Investigations in all Of the
twenty-seven alleged violations of the
law and have examined in all seventy
eight witnesses, and have found
twelve true bills and four no-bills.
We have, through our foreman and
through committees appointed by
him, examined all the county offices
and have found the county superin-
tendents office in need Of new
linoleum on the floor and doors for
book cases, and the walls cleaned and
retinted.

that office.
We find the books and records Of
the county officers neatly and well
kept, in so far as we are able to as
certain, and all the county officials
are performing the duties of their
respective offices in an efficient
manner.
We have examined into all the al
legged violations Of the compulsory
school law, and the Investigations so
made discloses that this law is being
respected by the citizens Of this coun-
ty, and we find no alleged violations
Of the law.
We find from our Investigations
that there has been some drinking
and bootlegging in Curry County and
we have returned indictments against
all that we had sufficient evidence to
warrant the same, but we do not be-
lieve that we have succeeded in re-
turning indictments against all who
have been engaged in this violation
Of the law, and hereby recommend
that the officers Of this county be ex-
ceedingly diligent in their efforts to
apprehend and bring to justice all
violations Of the law.
We wish to thank the Honorable

the district attorneys office for their
diligent services and able assistance
during our deliberations.
Having finished our labors after
being in session for three days, we
respectfully ask the court to be dis
charged.

1t is highly important, whether in
times of illness or of good health,
that we should know where we can
find pure and fresh drugs, medicines,
toilet articles, and druggists sun
dries generally. 1t is for this reason
that your attention is called to the

first-class stock of the highest quail
ity of goods, and its prescription de-
partment is in the hands of a thor
oughly reliable pharmacist. We
urge our members to foster the bust
ness of this firm.
The proprietor has bent every eff
fort to justify his claim to first
class drug store and has spent time
and money to make his place of bust
ness the equal of any drug establish

ways, he can conscientiously claim
superiority.
All the articles found in well-ap-
pointed drug store can be found here,
displayed in a very inviting manner.
