reluctantly to obey.
The former President likes baseball
and is an admirer of Walter Johnson,
a pitcher on the Washington team.
Suppose Johnson should keep his
arm in sling for three months, what
would he hen amour as picher?"
Mr.. Wilson WIS askd.
The illusraion proved persuasive,
but, as matters turned out, the fears
of his friends were baseless. Cir
sumstances have kept the former
President occupied, He has improv-
ed steadily in health, but he still is
not a strong man and never may be
fully well again. He now can use the
arm that for long was wholly help
less and, though he limps, can get
about easily with the aid of a cane.
He can alight from and enter an au-
tomobile without assistance and some
times does so-when his attendants
happen not to be looking.
He now attends to large CORE
spondence and sees many friends with
whom he freely discusses public ques-
lions. But beyond a few letters, haY-
ing to do with incidental matters OF
Golitics, no public expression has come
from him since he left the Presidency

FARMERS, WHY W0RRY2
August "a, 1922.

August "a, 1922.
Union County farmers have ha(
many unfavorable things to contend
with during past months-things
which have naturally put a heavy
tax on their patience and resources.
We know of no other group Of men
who have operated under so many
trying handicaps, but who, in spite
of these handicaps, have continued
with such patience, and even cheer
fulness, to make the best of things.
Among farmers the recent dry
weather has naturally caused some
concern as to crop prospects. But,
all told, very few farmers have vOic-
ed any great complaint. Dry spells
are considered one of the hazards
of farming in this region, and are
accepted as issues over which they
have little control
For that matter, but comparative
ly few if any, have sustained total
failure. Only the easily discour-
aged are giving way to pessimism as
TO the outlook for fair crop yields.
The majority continue to do the best
they can knowing that the future
will take care of itself as it usually
does.
That men of this spirit stand high
in our estimation goes without say
ing. 1t is privilege to be associated
i'm business way with so many of
them and we are glad to broa dcast
this letter as a testimony to that
fact and as a further assurance that
just as we have stood behind them
in the past, we will stand behind
them in the future.
No group of people deserve great
er consideration, and no group hav-
ing connections with this bank re-
ceives more.
Sincerely yours.
T. II. RIXEY, President,
State Bank of Commerce.

new SCHOOL BUILDING HERE
TO BE One OF STATES BEST

comfortably. By using folding chairs
even a greater number can be taken
care of.
The contractors are making every
effort to complete the auditorium
by the first of October, so it can be
used for the Grand Lodge of the
|. o. O. f. About five hundred dele
gates from all parts of the state are
expected to attend the meeting.
The West Ward building will have
very attractive assembly room. A
rolling partition is to be placed be-
tween the two east rooms of the
new addition. Folding chairs will be
used to supplement the students
desks, so that the auditorium made
by throwing the two rooms together
will have seating capacity of about
two hundred.
Contractors are now figuring on
revised plans and specifications for
the new Apache school building, and
the contract will probably be let in
the next few days. The building
will be an attractive two-roonl
structure, and will be modern in ev-
cry respect A folding partition will
divide the two class rooms so that
the two may be thrown together into
a community auditorium. The Clay
ton Board of Education and the
Apache Advisory Board plan to make
the building an ideal school and
community center.
The Board of Education is to be
congratulated upon the way in which
it planned and is carrying out a most
excellent building program that will
give to the people of Clayton school
district such adequate and modern
facilities.

its influence for good is beginning
to be felt in the solution of the many
problems that affect Clayton. Dr.

Legion and its purposes before the
public. The Service officer will as

The Board of Education, at its
recent meeting, received representa-
tives and bids from seven different
furniture houses. After a careful
consideration of the bids and elab-
crate sample displays, the Board
purchased equipment for the new
buildings from the Kilburn Furni-
ture Company, Of this city; Centen-
nial School Supply Company, of
Denver; Southwestern Educational
Exchange, of albuquerque; and the
C. J. Patterson Office Equipment
Company, of Denver.
Quality, beauty, and comfort
formed the chief basis on which all
purchases were made. Special care
is being exercised in the equipment
of the big community auditorium
that will occupy the entire second
floor at the new East Ward building.
The most comfortable opera chairs
on the market were purchased for
this auditorium. The finish of the
chairs, the decoration of the walls
and ceiling, and the stage scenery
will all harmonic in a beautiful
manner. The opera chairs will he
placed on the incline part of the
floor, The front part of the audi
forum will have a level floor, which
may be used as a basketball court
and a reception room. This part
will be seated with portable chairs,
which will be finished like the op-
era chairs.
This will be one of the largest
school auditoriums between Ell Paso
and Denver, and the decorations and
equipment will equal those in the
best auditoriums and theaters of
New Mexico and Colorado. Twelve

FOOTBALL SEASON OPENS SOON

The first call for football in the
Clayton High School will sound dur
ing the first week in September.
Actual practice upon the field will
not begin until Monday of the sec
ond week. The squad will then have
at least four weeks of preliminary
work before stepping out upon the
field to defend the Orange and Black.
Coach Terrill states that the pros
poets for football are very bright
for this fall. Nine of the old letter
men will doff suits and contend
against the second string men for
berlhs on the first string. Several
new faces will appear and the out
look for filling places caused by
graduation looks good. The most
serious loss through graduation is
at center. Harmon Aytes, the "Old
war horse of the past two seasons,
will not be in uniform on this ac-
count. Neither will Seton, Lujan,
Edmondson and TianO show up.
A faster and more technical brand
of football will be introduced work
ing toward a perfectly balanced high
school machine, which will be the
delight of the gridirOn fans Of Clay
ton. The schedule has not been fill
ed and perfected as yet, but games
are being arranged as fast as posi-
Bile, An effort is being made TO ex-
tend the playing territory TO insure
full schedule with at least half Of
the contests played at home.
All four Of the major sports, foot
ball, basketball, track and baseball
will be pushed and encouraged as
much as possible this year, 70 prove
