Suggestions.
A time saving idea for the kitchen
is a small, strong box with a tight
cover. into which, from time to time,
deposit nickels, dimes, pennies, and
occasionally a large piece of money.
Keep the money-box in a handy cor
ner of the pantry shelf. You always
know that you can get quickly the
pennies for postage due, the money
for the laundry, the paper boy" etc.
This little money-box saves more time
and fret than you can know unless
you have one too.
On the wall, near the kitchen work
table, hang a handy kit which con-
Sists of a small pincushion, holding
pins Of several kinds and several
threaded needles, a pair of shears, a
calender, a pad of paper, and a pencil.
These things are used often and many
steps are saved by having them within
reach as the need or the inspiration
comes.
of oil. Open your and see if the
frame at the joints and at the center
where it closes about the handle is
rusty. 1t is very apt to be and rust
will ruin the frame and often the
cover too. The remedy is to drop a
small drop of the best sewing machine
oil from the tiny sewing machine oil
can on the rust spots and leave the
umbrella open for a day until the oil
is absorbed

YES HE'LL FIGHT
kearns Declares Dempsey VIII
Be Battling Champ.
Not 0verenthusiastic at Idea of
Crossing Color Line.

Oakland. CAL Dec. 27.-"Jack
Dempsey is and always viii be a fight
ing champion. He is ready to defend
his title at any time the public de-
mands."
This was the answer today of Jack
Kearns, Dempseys manager, friend
and spokesman, to the question; will
Dempsey fight Harry Wils?"
But please do not construe this an
>(tffort on our part to cook up a fight
With Wills" he continued. "Of the
present possible heavyweight contea-
ders, Wills probably looks up as the
best. But he is a black man.
Boxing in better than half of the
larger states and cities is controlled by
commissions which with great una e.
nimity have ruled against mixed
matches This may safely be inter-
preted as indicating that public senti-
ment is against mixed matches.
Public sentime nt for and against
such match is the controlling factor.
II the public wants a match between
Dempseyeand Wills, it will indicate its
desires And you can say that Demp-
sey Will be responsive to the public
desires. He realizes that as a cham
pion he is subject to the wishes of the
pubic that makes the boxing game
possible
Dempsey fought colored before he
became champion. He fears no one,
and if the public demanded the bout
would not draw the color line"
Kearns is not convinced that the
public is demanding such a match.
Wills and the men back of him are
seeking cheap publicity by cooking up
offers of Matches" he said. These
offers will receive no consideration
from me. Whenever a reputable
financially able promoter of the type
of Tex Richard begins to talk of
match, we will listen. So far such
promoters have not been talking such
a match, and I believe opposite. But,
get this straight, Dempsey is ready and
willing to fight anyone the public
wants him to-"

With Present Contract Completed,
Clovis will Have Twenty-Four
Blocks of Paved Streets.

The New Mexico Construction
Company announces that the present
paving program will be completed by
the 26th of August unless the work
is hindered by bad weather, This is a
few weeks earlier than the company
contracted to get through with the
work, Notwithstanding the fact that
there have been a few delays. The
work is now being completed on Gid
ding Street and when this pavement
is laid the total of twenty and one
half blocks on the contract let this
spring will be finished. This, with
the four blocks on North Main, gives
Clovis twenty-four and one-haf
blocks of paving.
More Paving Coming.
In all probability the council will
take up the matter of ordering more
new paving at its meeting next Mon
day night. AT a recent meeting, City
Manager Dobbs was instructed to
draw up tentative program for a
number of blocks Of paving and sub
nit same to the council. The scope
of the new paving order will depend,
to large extent, on the will of the
property owners and whether the
paving company will be willing to ac-
cept the paving certificates.
The council does not, under the
present law, have to receive a petit
tion signed by the property owners
in order to pass paving order, al
though they will no doubt be influ-
enced by the wishes of those owning
property in the proposed paving dis
| tricts.

District Court Is
Nearly Through

The jury cases in District Court
were finished this week and the petit
jury dismissed. Several minor Grim
inal cases were tried last week before
the jury, but most of the cases this
term of court have been heard be-
fore the Judge. There is a general
tendency for litigants now to try
cases, especially civil cases, before
the judge rather than the jury. This
is not only a great saving in costs
but cases are disposed Of with a
great saving of time.
Judge Bratton will adjourn court
the latter part of the week by which
time practically all the cases ready
for trial will be disposed Of
