INSURED TO THE EXTENT OF DEPOSITS

The First National Bank OF this
city has put a quietus on the panic
condition of things so far as the
banks depositors are concerned.
w. f. Buchanan, the president,
has taken insurance in the Bank
Depositors' Insurance Company OF
Washington, ID. c., which abso-
lutely insures his depositors
against any possibility of loss.
What this proposition means is
that with this insurance and the
money on hand, reserve in the bank
that all National banks are re-
CURED to hold as a reserve, the
bank will be able to pay every de-
position it has, at any time or all OF
them at once, if need be. And this
can be done without collecting a
loan. or Opposing OF a cent of
bank assets outside of cash on
hand and this insurance. The
number OF policies OF this com
pany are limited, the aggregate
of all policies issued at no time
can be greater than the amount
of cash on hand for payment at
call. The fact that the First
National Bank of this city being
the I35th one given this protec-
ton in the United States is evil
dence that only the banks in safe
condition can secure this protec-
ton. Tucumcari business peo-
pie are proud of our banks and
there hasn't been a hitch in the
business conditions Of this burg
since the wolf began to bark
around the money center east OF
the Mississippi.

Fl. Feely of Solana, is here visit
ing his grandson, P. S. Mcdowell,
and will remain until after the hol-
idays. The old gentleman is past
81 years OF age and is yet able to
get around like a man Of fifty.
He was a veteran in the Mexican
wal and the civil wal and walked
from the Missouri river to the
Rocky mountains over the old San
ia Fe Trail in 1916. He tells some
very thrilling stories about his ex-
perience as a soldier in New Mex
leo. He has settled a homestead
at Solana and is having it improved
with as much interest as a voung
man.
c. ID. Griffin and J. +. Brown
OF Okmulgee, Okla, are among
the number Of homeseekers who
came in on the Rock Island excur-
sion Wednesday night. They are
very much pleased with the coun-
try and expressed surprise that
Quay county could produce such
crops as they find exhibits Of in the
office OF the Tucumcari News.
They say many people in their Sec
ton OF country are coming out to
look at northeast New Mexico this
winter and spring.

GOING SOME

+. A. Glen, the flying %dutchman,
made a trip last Sunday from Mel
rose to Tucumcari, a distance Of
90 miles, in two hours and forty
five minutes. He was driving the
10 h. p. REQ of J. A. Street, and
this speed for the distance was only
IS minutes under the schedule Of
the Golden State Limited OF the
FL Paso * Southwestern, which, as
Glenn says, is goin' some. Tuesday
he made $50 miles from Tucumca-
ri to Melrose and return but had
an accident az miles out of town
and had to be hauled in by another
auto. Glenn was a little blue over
this misfortune as this was the frs
time in his experience of four years
driving an automobile that he ha'
ever been pulled in. This is prob
ably the cleanest record in thu
country.

TnIsing Up Cnrpets.

Taking up carpets Is one of the mos
disagreeable of housekeeping tasks
usually, for the simple reason that the
majority of persons do not properly
perform the work.
To prevent the usual cloud of dust
when removing carpet, first loosen
the tacks, picking them all up as
drawn which will prevent accidents
and take only few minutes Of time.
DO not move the edge of the carpet
until all the lacks have been removed ;
then begin at one side and roll the car
pet carefully to the other side of the
room.
Two or three persons can roll II bet
ter than one alone. Lift is carefully at
both ends and the middle ut the same
time, and carry it out of doors and
away from the house to be cleaned.
Begin at one side of the room again
and roll the papers with the dust on
them, taking only a few at time, and
being very careful not to disturb the
dust.
Carry the rolls out as they are made
and pile them on the ground where
they can be burned.
When the papers have all been re
moved there viii be no dust on the
floor or in the air, ard a hopping of
the floor with a clean mop and good
sudS will make 1t fresh.
If there was no paper under the car
pet the lacks and carpet should be re-
moved in the same manner and a lot of
bits Of newspaper well dampened
should be scattered over the dusty
floor stir the paper gently about with
the broom so as to gather the dust;
then take 1t up in little piles ON the
dustpan.
Scatter another lot OF the dampened
paper and sweep 1t gently together,
then mop the floor with good suds.

wooden silos are generally built.
Where stone or brick can be obtained
readily these materials will have the
preference. Concrete silos are the most
durable and all things considered may
be the cheapest in the end If cement
and gravel or cobble stones are near at
hand.
Round silos give the greatest ca
pacity for the wall space and in the
case of wood construction, lighter ma
terial can be used In the Northern
States and Canada the possibility of
freezing must be taken into considera-
ton. The sheltered side of the barn
will afford some protection.
! There should be substantial ma
sorry foundation for all forms of wood
silos to bring the woodwork every
where at least II inches above the
earth. The bottom of the silo may be

visable because clay soil will spoil the
silage If permitted to rest on it. In
case the wood portion of the silo rises
"a or more feet above the stone work
and the diameter is more than 10 feet.
1t will be best to stay the top OF the
wall in some way. If the woodwork
rises from the outer edge of the wall
then building the wall up with cemenr
so as to cover the sill will give the
needed strength, because the woodwork
will act as hoop; but If the silo
stands at the inner face of the wall
it will be best to lay pieces of iron
rod in the wall near the top to act as
a hoop.
The studding of the atwood round

4 inches, unless the diameter is to ex

close together as one foot from center

Fighting weeds.

If the labor annually bestowed in the
endeavOr to eradicate weeds could be
applied at the proper times not only
would the nuisance be removed, but
the labor lessened. In the case OF
weeds the slightest amount of labor
saved in emitting to kill them when 1t
should be done entails greater labor at
other times. Nor is all labor on weeds
lost. During the eradication or de-
struction of weeds the regular crops
may be cultivated and the land put in
better condition. One of the greatest
mistakes is in not destroying the weeds
when they first appear. 1t will require
less labor to destroy a hundred weeds
when they are young than to kill a
single plant after it has made consld-
cradle growth, to say nothing Of the
fact that every weed that reaches ma
turity and produces seeds leaves great
er work to be done afterward. Al
though farmers are busiest in spring,
yet by properly preparing the land for
the intended crop they gain time. For
year or two the farmer may find it
difficult work combating weeds, but
the time so devoted will be regained
foIrfold in after years. Weeds can
best be destroyed when rotation is
used, and the ground should be plowed
for corn early enough in the spring to
allow of the sprouting of weed seeds.
This sprouting of the weed seeds is the
most important part of the process, and
the farmer should be willing to per-
form any amount of labor if he can
sprout them at a time when they will
not interfere with a growing crop.

and certainly likes to be loved.
But he himself very soon adapts him
