Thought We Were Is
suing Special Edition

On last Thursday, a travelling
salesman who has had considerable
dealings with weekly newspapers,
came into our office while the Enter
prise was being printed, addressed
and mailed, and after looking over
the huge piles of addressed papers
on several tables, inquired if we
were not getting out a special edi-
ton with many extra copies for dis
tribution. When told this was Just
our regular weekly edition he ap-
peared to be astonished that paper
in a town Of 1000 inhabitants should
enjoy so extensive a circulation.
We asked that he look over the
paper; he did SO, and then remarked
that he was able to understand the
why Of our large circulations stating
he observed it was a county news
paper in the truest sense OF the
term.
This man observed two things
(1) that the Enterprise has an I'M
usally large circulation, and ~ that
it is a county paper. It required
only 10 minutes for him to grasp
the idea, and he said that it afford
ed merchants and business men OF
this county a splendid advertising
opportunity to reach all the people
at one expense.
For the past three months we have
not been giving a list Of our sub
scribers, because we deemed it good
policy not to do so during the auto
contest, and after the close OF the
contest there were so many OF the
names that we have not been able
to give space to all Of them:

pose of applying the proceeds to this

Wait Till the Mud Dire.

Not every motor tourists realizes
that short wait after heavy rain
storm often saves considerable dis
comfort, wear and tear. In the Mo-
tor Camping Book, published by G..
P. Putnam's Sons, the author, Elon
Jessup, points out that there are
times and places where mud can be
avoided entirely, provided the motor
list is in no particular hurry and is
content to remain in camp for about
five or six hours after heavy rain
storm. In many sections OF the
country, especially in parts Of the
Middle West, the dirt roads dry very
quickly. Considering the mess and
trouble mud represents, the drying
out process is usually worth waiting
through.

CHRISTIAN LADIES AID

On last Thursday the ladies aid of
the First Christian church spent one
OF the most enjoyable all-day sessions
in the history of the society at the
home of Mrs. G. H. Watson, about
~ miles northwest of Clovis. This
event had for several days been look
ed forward to with pleasure and at 10
o'clock on the morning in question.
the ladies congregated at the church
and from there were conveyed by
autos to home of Mrs. Watson, At
noon feast that would tickle the
palate Of the most fastidious epicure
was spread, which was not alone en-
ioyed by the ladies, but by their hus-
bands as well, and there still remains
a question ip the minds of the ladies'
whether it was through a spirit of
mercy for the hungry hubby" who
had been left at home to "batch". or
If the thoughts Of having tc face the
storm alone, that prompted the host
to provide ways and means for the
husbands to enjoy the spread. How
ever, chubby is satisfied with the
fact that he was there and showed his
appreciation by the rapidity with
which the good eats disappeared.
The afternoon was spent in bust
ness session of the aid, followed by
the social hour. AT 500 p. m. the
ladies departed for their homes with
a feeling that they would again like
to enjoy the hospitality of the Watson
home,

TRUCKING PROVES TO
Be ECONOMICAL WAY

The following notes from "Ship
BY Truck" enthusiast give an insight
into the future of the motor truck as
an asset to the farm and the city.
"lf you regard the railroads as the
long arm of commerce, you must rec
on the motor truck as the fingers
which reach in, here, there and ev-
erywhere to pick up the load and
place it at its destination" ."-H. S.
Firestone.
A survey of the field of motor
trucks today, reveals the following
facts:
Up to approximately IS miles the
motor truck can transport merchan-
disc by continuous run more chaply
than the freight train.
Trucking through motor truck
terminals is cheaper than express to
a distance of 1870 miles.
Continuous run trucking costs are
slightly less than trucking costs thru
terminals to about 120 miles. Beyond
that point the difference favors the
organized terminal, which offers
many advantages the individual
trucker cannot give.
These figures will vary with each
community, but the represent fair
average the country over. The length
Of the "short haul" and therefore the
general utility Of the motor truck.
will increase in direct ratio to the inn
provement in our highway facilities.
1t looks as though there will be sew
eral "ship by truck enthusiasts in
he new Republican cabinet. President
himself heads the list. The
others are Herbert Hoover, Edwin
Derby and Henry Wallace. All of
