J. +. Reeves, travelling immi-
grafton agent for the Rock Island
at Chicago, was here Thursday
collecting data for advertising
matter. He was here last in June
and remarked to the editor that he
had never seen a country develop
faster than this and that Tucum-
carl was growing at a greater pace
than any town in the southwest.
The population, he said, must
have doubled since June. His
company will run homeseekers
excursions here this fall every few

The sanitary warning to clean
up is now bringing results and the
portion of the population favoring
sanitation and health are busy
getting rid Of everything that is
detrimental. The streets are full
of all kinds of stuff that is nasty
and it is up to the city government
to rid the town Of the trash debris
that is obnoxious to sight and
smell.

Tucumcari is coming to the front
and will soon be "A city. Get in
and help boost the thing along,
One thing that has made this the
best town on the Rock Island and
Southwestern in New Mexico is
the fact that our business men have
always had confidence in the town
and country around it. They invest
in all kinds OF enterprises them
selves and build good substantial
business houses and residences,
and talk favorably OF the country
all the time. OF course they have
something to talk about and they
can advertise the community, and
when the prospective purchaser
comes he sees that the good things
said about the country are true
and they all buy. There have been
few men who have visited Tucum-
carl this year who did not buy
property of some sort and many of
them are locating. AS building add
vances real estate goes higher, but
the prices are very reasonable con-
sidering the opportunities open
here for various kinds Of business.

The mamas of the country are
becoming anxious about the new
tangled tov, the Teddy Bear,
which threatens to displace the
dolls in the affections Of the chill
dren. A great fear has arisen in
the minds of the feminine peda-
gogues that the old fashioned doll
of our forefathers will soon become
extinct species of plaything.
The children in the kindergarten
have been accustomed to seat
themselves in groups about the
room and busy themselves
with making dresses for the dolls
but the innovation of the Teddy
Bear has changed their employ
ment and instead Of learning to
they put in their time caress-
ing the beast.

Quay county had as inckes OF
rainfall Monday and Tuesday
nights of this week. This makes
a rain fall since January I, this year,
OF 1913 inches, much more than
in previous years up to this date.
Truly it looks like we have a farm
ine country. Scientists who have
studied the dry farming process
assure us that nine to fifteen inches
of rainfall if properly distributed
will grow many kinds Of crops.
So there seems to be little ques-
ton that we are next year going
to produce all kinds Of crops suita-
BILE to our soil and climate.
