MRS. WOOTEN IS
VICE-CHAIRMAN

Last week, in giving the account
Of the Republican county cOnven-
ton, we uninientiOnalIy omitted one
of the most important features of
convention, that of the election of
the County Vice Chairman or the
Chairw6man Mrs. Edith Brown, who
served in that capacity and whose
efficient and untiring work did so
much towards bringing success to
the party, has now taken up her
residence in the city of albuquerque,
and it was deemed advisable on this
account to declare her chair vacant
and elect another lady to that posi-
tiOn.
In making choice for Vice-chair-
man, there was practically no COM
petition, as all minds had centered
on Mrs. Arthur Woolen, and she was
the unanimous selection.
For this important position no
better successor to Mrs. Brown could
have been made. Mrs. Wooten is a
pra tical business woman, engaged
in the farm loan business here. She
is ambition itself, and her business
ability and alertness make the work
of organization of the Republican
women Of the county an assured
success. We not only congratulate
Mrs. Wooten, but also the Repub-
lican organization on the advent OF
Mrs. Woolen as County Vice-Chair-
woman.

CUPID SPENDS A
VERY BUSY WEEK

The list Of marriages seems to
have made no decline, and our Clay
ton young people seem to have be-
come strongly imbued with the mat
rimonial spirit. This week we chron-
icle three weddings, participated in
by young. people we'll known in both
society and business circles.
TaylOr-Pyles
The first we record is the cere-
mony which united the lives and for
tunes of Mr.. H. w Taylor and Miss
GOldie Il. Pyles, here, on last Sat-
urday evening, with Rev. J. F. Luns-
ford officiating.
Mrs. Taylor is bookkeeper for the
Pioneer Garage, and is considered
one of the most efficient business
women in Clayton. She was raised
near Kenton, and after completing
her business education, came back
to Clayton and accepted the posi-
ton which she still holds. Goldie
as she is known to her many friends
has pleasing personality which
makes friends for her wherever she
goes.
Mr.. Taylor is foreman of the Pio-
neer Garage. He came here several
years ago from Denver, and accepted
the position which he now holds.
As an auto mechanic he is without
a peer in this part of the country.
He is a member of the Masonic lodge
and is popular both in lodge and
business circles.
They left Sunday on a visit to
Denver, where they will spend some
time, visiting.
JOnes-baFtOn
On Thursday evening" Miss Artha
Jones and Mr.. Ed Barton, in COM
pany with several of their Clayton
friends, motored to Dalhart Texas,
and were united in marriage.
Mrs. Barton is head abstracter for
the Clayton Agency. She came here
about two years ago from Oklahoma,
and by her efficient work and
pleasing ways has won a large cir
Gle of friends, both in the business
and social circles of the town.
Mr.. Barton came from Kansas City.
He was a member of the aviation
corps, and was one of the first in
the government service at the en-
trance of this country into the war.

OIL TIDE HAS TURNED FOR THE

We exported about 22,OO0,OOO gall

May reports, writes the Sugarman's
Indicator. In our opinion this in
dicates that the tide has finally
swung for the better. There is prob
ably no industry running on so close
margin of stocks i'm storage as the
oil industry. Ordinarily the United
States has only three or four months
supply in storage, and just as soon
as business gets better-which we
believe is a matter Of but a few
months-you may be sure that the
shares in the leading oil companies
will have discounted the improve
ment.

GRENVILLE TEAM
GETS TROUNCING

Vengeance is mine, ] will repay
sayeth the Clayton Grays, and they
proceeded to hand out that ven
geance with a vim on last Sunday.
When they defeated the supposed
unbeatable Grenville team by a
score of IA to 0.
The whole story can be told in
few words-toO much Shaver. Jim
Shaver was on the mound for Clay
ton, with his battery mate Shaffer,
and the wonderful baPrage which
these two put over on the Grenville
team bewildered them so that they
went into a trance and never woke
up until after the game. Vincent
Steele, the erTorless shortstOp in
past games, became so blinded with
the onslaught of hot ones in his
territory that there were only six
which he failed to get Third Base
man RubOttOm got so sick he threw
up (his job and hid out until after
the game. Vince Steele got his head
in front of fast one which hurt
some, but Vince went to first with
out any assistance. Dell Briggs ex-
hausted his energy, and all in all
Bob Creswell and his bunch of la
borers had rough shedding. Manager
Jungbluth was surely an object of
sympathy the way his men deserted
him under fire, but he was sure one
game manager. He said he would
finish the game if he had TO play il
himself.
Vaughan in the absence of Moore
played second base, and he sure did
credit to the job. II seemed as tho
nething was impossible for him, and
he sure spoiled hits.
y, Johnny COrich still maintained his
standing by playing the first sack
like a million dollar beauty, but he
got his batting eye lost somewhere
in the shuttle and failed to hit.
Snedeger, MeFadden, Shaffer. Sha-
yer, Vaughan and Beckner were all
there with the big stick and pound
cd out the hits that meant scores.
Shaver had the misfortune of get
ting his foot hurt in the seventh in
ming and in spite of the pain it was
causing him he pitched the other
two innings. This makes thirty-one
innings which Shaver has pitched
without a score being made against
him.
The crowd was about the largest
that has attended the games here
this year.
Lack of space keeps us from Civ
ing the box score. Sunday, Otto
will play here, and there will be two
games during the Roundup, in the
mornings Of the last two days. We
arc going some now. Come out and
boost your team and watch them
win.

COLO. TO GULF HIGHWAY
INSPECTION STARTS SEPT. -

The following letter was received
by the News nj, WeAk. which gives
some information regard ng the itin-
erary of the highway inspection tou?
TO be male by the various officials
of the Colorado to Gulf Highway. We
are here giving only that part of
the trip handled by the Mountain
Division which includes Clayton. The
people of Clayton should cooperate
with the Colorado to Gulf Highway
association in every possible way.
The tourist traffic this year has
amounted to so much that other
highways are bidding strongly for
it, The competition will become
greater. The only way that Clay
ton and other. towns along the High
way can hold this traffic will be
by placing the highway in a good
condition and keeping it that way.
This can be done by cooperation.
When the time comes for us to act,
let Clayton be founI doing her part.
Let's welcome these officials and
hear what they have TO say.
Here is the letter;
Dalhart Tex,
Aug. % 1921.
To All Friends of the Colorado TO
Gulf Highway:
The official trip or the Colorado
to Gulf Highway will start from
Denver, September 18th and proceed
.southward according TO the inclosed
itinerary.
The purpose of this trip is tC
get in touch with the various civic
bodies along the highway with the
idea of forming local organizations
to support the Colorado to Gulf
Highway Association in its publicity
and development work now under

Among the officials on this trip
are men of prominence and respon-
sibility who are sacrificing their
own personal interests, for nearly
a month, to further the work of de-
velopment that this highway asso-
citation is now undertaking.
The inclosed itinerary was made
to include as many stops as possible
in the limited time at our disposal,
consequently, we hope that cities
and towns not shown on the timer
ary will cooperate with those that
are shown, so that every commun-,
ity will have an opportunity to par
ticipate in the important work that
the Colorado TO Gulf Highway As
sociatiOn is now doing and proposes
to do.
This twenty day trip is ging to
be very strenuous on those partici-
pating and all communities as urged
to conform TO the itinerary as close
ly as possible.
Yours for the Colorado TO Gulf,

beauty of the hair: that dissolvcs and
entirely removes all dandrun, excess
oil and dirt: can easily be used at
trifling expense by simply dissolying
a tcaspoonful OF canthroX (Which you
can get at any druggist's) In a cup
Of hot water. This makes a full cup
