JUNIOR HI ENTERTAINED

The Junior High School was en-
tertained this week on the Pericu
by the Clayton Rotary Club in the
ame jolly manner in which ths
Senior Hi was entertained last
week. Very little contrast might be
made 1t is possible, though, That
this was the best of the two.
Promptly at $3.50 the children
we're loaded at the high school and
taken to the scene of the entertain
nont, the Otto ranch, where for two
hours they enjoyed game of foot
hall between the 7th and 9Th grades,
also a game of indoor baseball, the
notarians and teachers staging an
other game of baseball that proved
interesting.
"Eov.ory," "Greeny" and Others
saw TO it that The inner man was
plentifully supplied. Weinies, buns,
pickles, cocoa and coffee were
served.
The program Of the evening was
one of the best given this year. Al
len Wikoff presided, and in his
usual free and easy manner he in
troduced the first speaker of the
evening, Miss Rogers, Principal;
then followed the president of the
sth grade. Charles Poison. and Mary
Davis, president of the 7th grade.
The only speech given by a ROtar-
ian was made by DR. Hayden. This
was his maiden speech as a Rotar-
ian. but he made a very interesting,
entertaining and instructive talk on
the sight.
Mr.. L. C. Mersfelder Of Albuquer-
que, who is spending a few days in
Clayton, gave a brief talk.

NO. However, realizing that the
Measure would pass the senate,
Jones finally got on the band wag-
on and on the final passage Of the
bill. II. J. Res. No. 4, he voted YEA.
AS a matter Of fact when the 10Th
amendment was passed, the Con-
gress of the United States was con-
trolled by republican majority and
had not that majority been in favor
of the measure, il would have been
doomed to defeat. Suffrage, how
ever, was a republican measure, and
how a democratic minority can lay
claim to any credit for its passage,
is more than the mind Of average
intelligence can conceive.

REPUBLICAN SPEAKING

Last evening, while the democrats
we're wrestling in prntjnct conven-
tCin, the republicans were enjoying
a series of short addresses given by
a corps Of speakers who are touring
the state, Hon. H. II. Errett was
chairman Of the meeting, and as
such, introduced Hon. o. P. Easter
wood, who in turn introduced
Charles Lee Hill, republican candi-
date for governor.
Mr. Er9ett introduced the other
speakers as follows: J. A. Des
Georges, candidate for secretary Of
state; o. A. Matson, for treasurer;
Fritz Muller, for land commissioner;
and Hugh II. Williams, who is a
member of the state corporation
commission. Mr.. Williams is we'll
known in every section of the state.
He introduced his speech by telling
The Shippers of Clayton that he had
wired the C. & S. Railway and the
Interstate Commerce Commission
that cars must be furnished and the
situation relieved. Mr.. Williams
gave a short resume of the candi-
dates on the Republican tick ct.
iwelling at length upon the fact
that the candidate for governor was
100 per cent for New Mexico, and
was a New Mexican, vigorously de-
nying the report that DR.. Hill was
an FL Pasoan or that he paid taxes
in Texas.
Mrs. Wooten introduced b. +.
Pankey, who made a very brief ad-
dress, followed by H. b. Hening, in
troduced by Mr.. Errett. Gov, Hen
ing was not permitted to make full
address, because of the wind and
dust, but his frief remarks made a
deep impression upon the people.
The Republicans are presenting TO
the people of the state a strong,
clean ticket, one that can with dig
nifty, and will with honor, represent
the state of New Mexico, and will
give the people an administration
safe, sane and satisfactory.

AMERICAN LEGION CARNIVAL
HOLTAIRs EXPOSITION SHOWS PLEASING CROWDS EACH
NIGHT. LEGION BOYS INSIST ON HIGH STANDARD SHOWS

The Fred ]. Tuttle Post, American
Legion, is endeavOring ia have a
permanent home in Clayton. When
these plans mature, the city Of Clay
ton and Union county will have a
community house of which they may
feel justly proud
The great problem the boys are
facing during the depression is to
raise the necessary funds without
asking large donation. To do this
they have been giving home talent
plays and bringing other entertain
ments to town.
The l.. b. HOltcamp Exposition
Shows are now in Clayton, under
contract with the American Legion
binding themselves TO give to the
Legion Post percentage Of the re-
ceipts, and further, they guarantee
this percentage will be equal or
more than certain specified
amount, which will increase the
building fund of the local Post in a
very satisfactory manner.
The Legion before entering into
a contract was assured that no gam
bling devices or Objectionable fea-
lures would he brought to Clayton
Upon this assurance. the Legion pre-
sented the proposition to the town
council and to the business men,
further guaranteeing them that
should these features be found to
exist upon the arrival in Clayton,
steps would be Immediately taken
to eliminate them.
II developed that some of the cit
izens and the Legion committee
deemed some few concessions were
objectionable to the patron; there
fore. in compliance with their prom
Use to the citizens of the town, they
requested The management of the
carnival that these concessions be
closed This has been done.
The Legion Post is no uncertain
force in determining the future sue
cess of the community. Instead of
handful of unorganized ex-service
men, without definite aim, we have
a strong organization of the hest
young men in Union county, who are
friendly TO the promotion of a high
er standard of morals and who are
the champions of right and Justice.

A ~BAND WAGON sUFFRAGIs1

IN an effort TO secure the support
of the women voters of New Mexico
Senator Jones presented a carefully
coneocted plan when at his recent
political "Juuta" at Santa Fe he
was introduced by Mrs. Geo. Neel.
Mrs. Neel, in her written introduc-
lion. said in part:
'sThe women OF New Mexico,
and Of the United States, owe a
debt Of gratitude to the senior
Senator from New Mexico for
his untiring efforts as chairman
Of the Suffrage Committee TO
bring about the enactment Of the
i9lh amendment"
As a matter Of fact, Senator A. A.
Jones was not the chairman OF the
suffrage committee at the time Of
its passage. AS a matter Of fact on
October isi, 1918, when H. J. Res
No. 200, providing for Woman suf-
frase was put 70 3 vote, Jones voted

movement in some time, but if con-
ditions were normal, and the cars
could be had no doubt there would

FOOTBALL SEASON OPENS

On next Friday, October IS, at 8
p. m, the curtain will rise on the
local high school football schedule.
Dalhart will invade Clayton to play
upon the Fair Grounds field. with
a bunch of good, husky gridsters.
The locals have been hitting the
ball" pretty hard since the opening
Of school, learning some of the
technique and tactics of the modern
sport. A few new faces will appear
and according to Coach Terrill, they
make the team more aggressive and
puncture proof, and at the present
time seem to be showing good form
for this early in the season.
Dalhart has played a couple Of
games, and the experience will help
them materially in this curtain-rais-
er next Friday. Under a new brand
of coaching they probably will put
up a different contest from any ever
before seen in Clayton.
II will be well for the football fans
of Clayton to focus their eyes upon
the local youngsters as they are
going good and must meet heavy
schedule during the six weeks prior
to Thanksgiving.
