CITIZENS IN HALE COUNTY

Plainview, Texas, Nov. 30.-Vis-
ions of Hale County as a great oil
field are appearing before hundreds
Of citizens who are following the
progress of the Bledsoe test well be-
ing drilled northwest of Abernathy
and twenty-five miles southwest of
Plainview. The well is down 1880
feet as the bit goes down the fever
Of excitement is rising. Hundreds of
persons are visiting the well daily and
the sight of film of oil on the slush
from. the well is causing much COM
ment. Blue shale has been encoun-
tered several times recently and two
encouraging showings of oil have
been struck
Within the last few hundred feet
gas pockets have been numerous, al
though all were small. The best Of
material and equipment is being USED

Everyone Thinking
About Dairy Cows

Yes, everybody is talking about
her.
About whom?
The Dairy Cow,
From Wall Street and the small
town banker, from the great mart of
trade and the cross road store, from
the industrial center and the most
remote hamlet come the same It'd
ings--the Dairy Cow is the savior of
agriculture.
Economists, financiers, manufac-
turer, statesmen, and, in fact, all
students of economic and industrial
conditions, unite in the conclusion
that agriculture is the foundation OF
national prosperity and the dairy hus-
bandry is the most stabalizing force
in agriculture.
Periods of depression and times Of
stress serve at least one useful pur-
pose. They teach US relative values
of related things, correcting our bias
ed or, at least, imperfectly formed
judgments.
And so it has come to pass that
the Dairy Cow has at last come into
her own.
We seem to be undergoing what
may be termed a national awaken
ing, relative to the tremendous in
portance of the Dairy Cow in our na'
tional life. Fathers and mothers,
educators, and men of science are
learning that the only assurance for
strong, sturdy children, both physi-
cally and mentally, is constant and
adequate supply Of milk and its pro-
ducts in the daily ration.
For old timers who have followed
in the path of the dairy cow, 10, these
many years, the recognition that has
come to the dairy industry and the
prominence it has achieved is indeed
a source of profound satisfaction.
We can scarcely realize that the weak,
insignificant, struggling industry Of a
half century ago has now become the
giant in agriculture.

Council Will Be Presented with Petit
tion Asking that Election Be
Held to Decide Question

A petition was circulated this week
esking the City Council to call
special election to decide whether Clo-
Wis shall adopt the commission form
Of government. In the neighborhood
of 1875 names were signed to the PEE
tition, the law requiring that fif-
teen per cent Of the qualified vot-
ers sign such a petition before an
election shall be called.
Should Clovis adopt the commits
sion form Of government It would be
done under the law passed by the last
legislature affecting towns of the
population of this city. The law re-
quires that three commissioners gov.
ern the city and they are elected at
large, however, one must reside in
each comissioner's district in the city.
The commissioner districts are form
ed by the City Council.
The commissioners, after they are
elected, select their own chairman,
who draws salary not exceeding
$500 per year. The other two mem-
bers of the board do not draw a
salary.

Clovis High School was defeated by
Roswell High School team at that
place on Thanksgiving Day, the score
being IA to 0. Roswell has not been
defeated this year and the Roswell
papers in writing up the game say
that the game last Thursday was the
