As the bishop was to make the chief
address of the evening, he regretfully
declined.

said Mrs. Brown pessuasively. So the
bishop yielded and had a second piece
and after that a third.
Evening came. and the large church
was packed with people. The hour for
service arrived, but the bishop had not
appeared. The elders looked anxious.

THE NEW YEAR

auspiciously upon any people in airy
COUNTRY than the New Year OF 1000 is
opening to the view of the people OF New
Mexico, and more especially upon the peo-
pie of Tucumcari and Quay County.
The past year has been one OF bounteous
ful6llment of all we could have hoped for
in every line of business; sheepTen, COW
men, farmers and merchants have all done
we'll. The great advance in the prices OF
wool and sheep; the steady upward ten
dency of the cattle market and the fine
crops have enabled our people to get out
of debt and swelled the deposits in our
local banks. Although the past year
has exceeded any previous one in prosper
itv, growth and progress, yet the coming
year bears promise of yet greater achieve
ment in every line for the homeseeker' the
men who build up a country and develop
its resources are just beginning to appre-
ciate and learn what this country has IN
store for the industrious, thrifty and up-to-
date farmer. Quay County possesses a mag

In every big town the children OF
the slums habitually go to school i'm
properly fed. Many Of them are not
only improperly fed. but the food they
do get Is far too little in quantity In
the hard winter season, when the
building trades are idle, many again
go to school either with no food at all
or having only stayed their hunger In
the morning with a crust Of dry bread.
In sharp. frosty weather 1t is a COM
mon experience for teachers In the
elementary schools OF the poorer parts
M our great towns--I have often seen
ito find children suddenly seized
with vomiting. This is not 50 much
caused by the fact that the stomach
is upset as that 1t has revolted against
the effect Of the cold upon its empty
condition. And not only is this state
of things true of the poorer parts OF
the big towns. 1t is also true OF many
Of the agricultural villages. Let VS.
itor TO a village elementary school look
closely at the children. They are In
many cases habby and pale. they
need more nourishing food. A break

bread and treacle and some abomina-
bly, poor tea-these form the three
