American national holiday seems certain.
II will be neither Washington's birthday nor
LIDcoln'e 6rthday-in memory of the Father and
of the Savior of the United States of America
1t will not be Memorial day-ln memory of
the heroic dead of our victorious wars
1t will not be Fourth of July-in memory of
the wipping of our Independence.
It will not be Thanksgiving day-devoted to
the family reunion feast and thanksgiving to God
for His mercies and gifts.
And yet Armistice day should be in a way
combination of all of these American national
holidays
For when the World war ended in victory No
vember IL, 1918, America saved all that every

Of these national holidays
Is krnistice day destined to be not only an in
ternationaf holiday but the great holiday of
all the world?
If the Washington conference on the limitation
of armaments brings about dlsarmament-reason
able and effective dlsarmament-the whole world
vctors and vanquished alike, may well celebrate
Armistice day
II the Washington conference should make an
other great war impossible and lead up to perma-
nent, worldwide peace all the nations Of earth
viii have to mark Armlstice day the one great
day Of all tks military history of the world.

fine HIGHWAY
TO PORTALES
Work on Hard Surfaced Road South
of Clovis Will Be Completed
About Middle Of December.

The work on the Clovs-Portales
Highway is being rapidly completed
now; and will be finished by about
the middle of December. The founda-
ton Of the road has been completed
and now the road is being surfaced
with caliche, which consists cf.a mix.
ture of underground clay and ground
rock. This surfacing is put on in a
thickness of about foot and makes a
very fine road after being properly
rolled and packed, When this high
way is completed the road from Clo-
Wis to Portales will be one of the best
in the entire state. Much work has
also been done on the Clovis-TeXico
highway which was part of the same
contract but this road will not be
hard-surfaced for the present.
The contract price on this work
was something like 100000 and all
this money, or practically all Of it,
is being spent right in the trade ter
ritory of Clovis. The Atlas Construc.
ton Company, WHO has the contract
for the construction, now has in its
employ in the neighborhood Of sixty.
five men. Many teams and much ma.
chinery are also operated. r. W.
Atchison, president and general man.
ager Of the company, is personally in
charge of the work on the road and
says each week the pay roll of the
company runs from four to five
thousand dollars. The company has
built quite a good sized camp south
of town and here the employees are
fed and cared for,
These road contracts, besides even
tually providing good highways, also
furnish much employment and turn
loose quite a bit of money in the
community, 1t is expected by the
time the Portales road is completed
work on the Grady project will have
been started. y

BIBLE STUDY CONFERENCE
PROVES INTERESTING

The Union Bible Study Conference
is holding the intense interest Of all
those who attend and every Bible
reference is eagerly copied by young
and old as it is placed upon the black
board before the lecture begins and
notes and references eagerly match
ed during the delivery Of the les
sons given each night.
Mrs. Swartzbaugh spoke to as
many people as could be packed into
the Methodist Church on Sunday
night and we are told a good many
were unable to get even standing
room.
Her theme was "a Crucified Life"
and the wonderful story of the cross
was delivered with an intensity of
feeling and splendid eloquence that
touched her audience to a sincere re-
sponse to her direct appeal.
This week the Book Of Romans is
the subject for four nights. and those
who do not attend these studies are
missing something that they may
regret in the future.

Prominent Road Men Of Texas Now
Going Over Route from Fl.
Worth to Las Vegas.

Hon. Curtis P. Hancock, former
chairman Of the State Highway Com
mission of Texas, and II. B. Sammons,
business manager of the State Auto
mobile Club of Dallas, were in Clovis
this week in the interest of the F. +.
f. Highway. These men are both Of
Dallas and are official representa-
tives of the Texas Automobile Club
which has undertaken the work Of
marking and logging the road from
ft. Worth to Las Vegas and immedi-
ately on their return to Texas the
route will be properly marked.
For number of years many Texas
tourists have gone each year to the
mountains of Colorado but the F. f.
+ Highway gives them a direct route
to the scenic points of Northern New
Mexico, and it is estimated that with
in few years it will have the heav.
lest traffic of any highway coming
into Clovis.
The +. F. F. Highway fills long
telt want for great east and west
highway. For years it has been the
ambition of west Texas and eastern
New Mexico to have a railroad from
Dallas and Ft. Worth cross the great
aims of Texas to the wonderful coal
mines and other undeveloped natural
ources Of the west,
The F. f. F. Highway is the near
c, substitute for this railroad. There
"a those who believe that it will be
worth even more when completed, to
she communities through which i
ps sses than a railroad, reaching, as ii
does, the best part of the Staked
Plains Of Texas, the Rocky Mountains
of New Mexico, the great national for
ests, the interesting Indian Pueblos,
the wonderful prehistoric ruins, the
many mountain streams abounding
with trout and other game fish and
providing the best and shortest route
to the Petrified Forest, the Grand
Canyon and California. 1t will be-
come a great transcontinental high
way, as it connects Ft. Worth and
Dallas with the Southern National
Highway, the Spanish Old Trails, the
Dixie-0verland Route and other high
ways coming from the east and south
and furnishing the great stream of
travel shorter and better route to
the Grand Canyon and California and
affords delightful side trips to Las
Vegas, Santa Fe and other points
Astounding in wonderful scenic at
fractions.
The towns along the route will be
expected to finance only portion of
the small amount of the marking and
logging expense and Clovis raised her
quota in a few minutes this week.
