The camp was called to order ard after q short business ses- sion Major John c. Harris. of Mont gomery, was introduced as the orator of the day. Major Harris en- tertained the crowd for an hour. He dwelt almost exclusively on incidents connected with the war. and entered into ho argument as to which side was right in tho struggle. stating that both sides thought they were right and the decision was left to a higher power. Frequently tears were brought to the eyes of the old soldiers as he depleted various scenes, and especially when he told of the parting of the men from their homes, families and loved ones, not Knowing if they would ever see them again. He said that was the time to try mems hearts. At the conclusion of the address the audi ence joined in singing How Firm a Founaation." and general hand shaking took place among the vet erans.
 Another short business session was held. after which dinner was an- nounced. The people of Pollard had prepared q sumptuous repast for all present. including barbecued beef. pork and mutton, which was partaken of and greatly enjoyed. and of which there was an abundance and to spare. The reunion took place in beautiful grove of water oaks in the rear of the Methodist church and parsonage, which was an ideal place, the large trees furnishing q cool shade under which the vast crowd assembled and the ex- ercises were conducted.
 The ofiifcers of the camp for the ensuing year are: Commander, W. g. Neal; first vice-commander, T. !. Stevens; secord vice-commander. W. J. Holland: third vice-commander. B. F.. Pringle: adJutant.

 Resolutions were adopted by the camp thanking the people of Pollard for their generous reception, the news papers of the county for their assis- tance and Major Harris for his part in making the day more enjoyable.
 A number of candidates were present, but very little canvassing was done. as the day was given over for what 1t was intended, a reunion of the old soldiers and their friends, and this idea was risidly carried out. nothing occur ing to mar the pleasures of the occas- ion.

He said
 The great problem is that of pre- serving peace abroad. The peace of Europe depends upon what we call the balance of power. America ought to hold that balance. No other nation can assume the role. The hope of the peace of the earth looks to America. We must stay the destroying hand of war and upon our navy that influence must be built. We. possessing the qualities of mercy. generosity and justice, are equipped to lead and guide the world We love our country because she is great and because she is good. Let us rise up and establish peace on the earth. We can. do this through the agency of an adequate navy"

 Hunger
Good Advice From E. c. Fowler ms 10
 How to Create an Appetite.

Any physician will tell you that if is unwise to eat unless one is really hun gry. It is far better to miss a meal than to eat without appetite.
 But do not take a tonic, stimulant or appetizer to make you hungry. E. G. Fowler says that the best way to create an appetite Is to restore the digestion to health by the use of Mi-o- ma stomach tablets, a reliable reme- dy that he has with the best of satis- faction.
 When Mi-o-na is used, the irritation and inflammation of the stomach coat ing will be soothed, the gastric folli- cles will be strengthened so that they will pour out the natural digestive fluids with regularity, and the food vou eat will be perfectly digested without distress. All headaches, sleep lessness. specks before the eyes, poor appetite, tired feelings, nervousness, backaches, and other troubles caused bv poor digestion will soon disap- mar. and you will feel we'll all over large box of Mi-o-na stomach tab ,ats is sold for 50 cents by E. c. Fowler and if is so successful and relia- hIe in curing indigestion and other Stomach troubles, with the exception of cancer of the stomach that he sells ;t under a guarantee that the money will be refunded unless IL does all that is claimed for it.

With the dry, cold weather of

of croupy children should be on
the alert for ominous symptoms.
There is no cause for anxiety,
however, when Chamberlain
Cough Remedy is kept in the
home. If this medicine is given
as soon as the child becomes
hoarSe or even after the croupy
cough has appeared, the attack
may be warded off. Mrs. S.

The Santa FEES New Route To CAL
ifOrnia.

The Belen Cutoff, a new piece
of track 800 miles long, connect
ing TeXico and Rio Puerco sta
tons, on the Santa Fe, is about
ready for business the entire dis
lance. At present it is operated
from Texico west to Sunnyside
and from Belen eastward to
Vaughn. 1t is expected that
complete local train service, in
Guiding the United States mails,
will be installed by January first.
1t is not likely that any impor-
tant changes will be made in
through Santa F'e freight or pas
senger trains between Chicago
and California until next summer
or fall, although ultimately some
of them will no doubt be run the
new way. Several months work
are required for placing heavier
rails and stronger bridges on
the Panhandle division, west of
Wellington, and it will also take
until June, perhaps, to complete
the heavy fills now being made
across the canyon at this point,
Canyon City.
This route is a cutoff in more
ways than one. 1t cuts off III
feet altitude as compared with
the old line over Ration and Clio
rieta passes. 1t cuts off two
mountain ranges, on which DDS
miles of three and one-half per
cent grades abound and substi-
tutes one mountain range with
only twenty-five miles of one and
one fourth per cent grades. 1t
cuts off twelve miles of travel.
1t will cut off several hours time
for passenger trains and about a
days time for freight trains. 1t
will cut down operating expen-
SeS.
If it were merely to save a few
miles of travel, the Belen Cutoff
would not have been built. 1t is
justified only because of the heav-
Ter loads that can be pulled and
the quicker time that can be
IN d e. Modern railroading
seeks easy grades and direct
routes

Does it Pay?

About three years ago John
Wanamaker was offered the re-
fusal of a choice page in the Phil
adelphia Record for one year for
the very reasonable sum of $50,
600. AS he had only been pay
ing S150,000 he refused. In a
few days he found that the space
was worth more than the price
and fastened to the Record office
to contract for it, only to find
that competitor had procured
the coveted page for 1925, 900 per
year. Does such wholesale ad-
vertising pay? Wanamaker has
made millions by it, and he says
it does.
When p. r. Barnum bought
the American Museum he had
two years time in which to pay
for it. 1t was losing PROPOSE
ton before he took charge, and
he determined to spend all the
profits. if there should be any,
for advertising. He was the
greatest advertiser that ever
lived, and demonstrated this fact
by making it pay him so hand
somely that he discounted his
notes after having run the muse
um for one year. 1t may not
pay, but Barnum made money
by it.
Of course such houses as
Montgomery Ward, Sears, Roe
buck & Co., and houses of their
kind send out several tons Of cat
alogues, quoting prices, every
year because they want to have
a little fun out of the country
merchant. No they do not make
money out of the deal. They
are in business for their health,
and filling out-of-town orders is
fine exercise, and therefore ben
efcial. What do you think; does
It pay them:
We only use these few of the
many instances of this kind
hat come TO our notice from time
% time. We use them because
