Tucumcari News Endorses Judge
Falls Work

From press reports. prior to the
election, a good many people had
placed Judge A. B. Fall as a rep
resentative of the special inter-
ests. We are glad to note that
nothing can be further from the
truth. Instead of representing
any special interests Judge Fall
is earnestly laboring for q constr
tuition embodying those provi-
sions that are demanded by the
people. He is strongly insisting
on the initiative and the refer
endum, and q corporation COM
mission to be elected by the
people. In doing so he does not
play the part of the demagogue
by endeavoring to array class
against class, but he is laboring
for a constitution that will not
grant any special privileges to
any one but will protect all per-
sons and interests alike.
Judge Fall is one Of the ablest
men in the territory and has
great influence in the convention.
1t is well for us to begin sizing
up the men Of the territory for
future reference and Judge Fall,
not being so we'll known in this
part Of the territory, has been
watched by our people and has
not been found wanting.-Tu-

GOLD MEDALS WILL Be
AWARDED FOR MERIT
Praiseworthy Work in First Month
Of School
DECEMBER CONTEST
TO BE INTERESTING

| Pupils will receive reports
every eight weeks Parents
should carefully examine these
reports, then sign and return to
the teacher. If the report is not
what you think it should be,
confer with the teacher, and
learn the cause. When the grade
is below 80, the cause should be
inquired into.
The enrolment the first month
was 4S0, with an attendance Of
81 per cent. 269 pupils were
present every day. This is a
splendid record. The only bad
feature is that "a pupils made
104 tardies. Pupils who are habi-
tually tardy or absent, cannot be
promoted at the close of school.
Parents should bear this in mind
and see to it that their children
attend regularly and punctually.
The moral supports and the CO.
operation of the parents are es-
sential to the success of the
school and to the progress and
development of their children.
Fourteen parents visited the
school last month. Parents and
friends are always welcome. We
are glad to have them take all
interest in the work of the school.
Children under six years of age
should not be brought as visitors.
They are too young to appreciate
the work, and they distract the
attention of the younger pupils.
The county contest in OratOry,
defamation, recitation and map
drawing will be held in Alamo
gordo, December 3. All who
wish to take part should make
arrangements without delay, as
the preliminary contest will take
place in November. Gold and
silver medals will be awarded to
the successful contestants. Any
enterprising merchant who de-
sires to contribute a gold medal
should see me before November
l. Only four medals can be ac-
cepted, and one merchant has
already asked TO be allowed the
privilege of contributing.
The school spirit this year is a
decided improvement over last
year, and is really commendable
Pupils have accomplished as
much in the first four months as
in the first six months of last
year. Pupils are now studying
more at home, and that is re.
sponsible for the marked i'm
pfovement in their school work.

ment Co., with reference to the
irrigation Of the shade trees, re-
ported that at the conference,
Mr.. Beach had spoken very fav-
orably: that he was as much in

JOURNALISTS ARE FACING
VERY GREAT DANGER
Remote Possibility That They
May Become Gentlemen
ON THAT HIGH Road
NOW IN ENGLAND

peril Il becoming q gentleman.
Strange and awful as it may
seem to those who cling to class
distinctions and slightly embar-
RAISING as it is to the journalist
himself, gentility is being thrust
upon him. Society is beginning
to recognize him as a respectable
person.
Time was (not Sd very long
ago) when at q public banquet
the newspaper reporter was ad-
mitted after dessert, ike an
eighteenth century parson, when.
placing his notebook on the
crumbs of the finished feast, he
was permitted to smell the odor
Of baked meats and to record the
pearls of wisdom falling frJm the
lips of public men. The walters
were instructed to keep a sharp
lookout on the spoons, but with
a little luck the journalist drank
of the dregs Of the champagne
bottles.
In those days (they saw the
dawn of the twentieth century,
if journalist presented himself
at the house Of a great lord or Of
that still more naughty person, a
member of parliament, the flunky
advised him to wipe his feet on
the mat, stared at his clothes
with an air Of surprise that such
things could be and, after a few
well thought out and deliberate
insults, admitted him or refus-
ed admittance to the high pre-
sence. A little refreshment in
the buffers pantry was some
times his reward of obsequious
service.
The tradition still fingers in
Whitehall among first class
clerks, heads of departments and
cOmmissionnaires, who as a race
are conservative and ti.demo-
cratic. But from cabinet minis
ters, who are even above the
heads of departments, though it
seems incredible, the order has
been gwen that, other things
being equal, so to speak, and
without prejudice and with due
reserve, the journalist, when not
too utterly disreputable, is to be
treated as though he were q
gentleman-almost exactly as
though he were q gentleman!
Recently q large number Of
press men from the colonies and
the provinces were entertained
in o lavish style by noblemen,
corporations and other great
bodies. AS though they had
never had q meal before (it is a
relic of the old tradition that a
journalist is @ hungry fellow,
these newspaper men were invit-
ed to eat enormous dinners and
to drink immoderate quantities
of wine. At the guild-hall the
precaution was taken of drafting
in an extra force Of police to
guard the pictures and gold
plate, but otherwise the Journal
ist was let loose in the great
hall and galleries and treated
very handsomely. The lord may
or himself set . noble example
Of graciousness by shaking hands
with large number Of Journal
lists, and 1t was very pretty to
see that many ofthem, anticipat-
ling the honor. wore white gloves.

THE
GREAT WESTERN SUGAR co.
Greeley Factory
S. NJ. EDGELL, Manager

Greeley, Colo, Feb. IA. 1910
To Our Growers.
Gentlemen:-I has been decided
by The Great Western Sugar com
pany to make a change in its con-
tracts with the beet growers for the
coming season. Where. in years
heretofore, the price of beets has
been $500 fiat per ton for non-sil-
oed beets and $3.50 per ton Tor
those sliced this year payment is
to be based on the saccharine quail
ity of the beet.
For all beets containing over ! >
per cent. sugar and under 5 per
at the rate If $500 per ton. For
those containing over ! . per cent.
sugar and less than 16 per cent, the
price will be $5.25 per ton, and 50
on up the scale, an additional
payment of S0.25 per ton being
made for each per centum of sugar
/ over .5.
The company feels that by estab-
fishing this system of payment the
benefit to the farmer and to itself
will be mutual 1t is the desire OF
the company that both the average
tonnage per acre and the average
suger content of the beets grown, be
increased and it knows by results
obtained IRON careful experiment
and reseach that identical treatment
will bring about the two desired re-
suits. BY offering this bonus of
25c for each per centum of sugar
above what in past years has gener
ally been the normal. there shoul'
be a material tendency toward NOR
careful and intensive cultivation
with the idea of bettering the quail
ity of the beets grown and the con
sistent result OF producing more tons
to the acre.
The company has already reduced
the price of beet seed from l5c tC
1Oc per pound, with the view solel!
of inducing more seed to be planted
to the acre, thereby insuring gooc
stand except in so far as is limited
by the inclemency of the weather
and if care and attention is given Il
, the thinning, special pains being
taken to see that the beets are block
ed and thinned as the laborers art
told to block and thin them, and
, the excellent promises OF the pas
winter are fulfilled in the spring ant
summer. the beet crop harvested
next fall should be source of rev
enue and satisfaction, equally graft
: fying to the farmer and to the susa
company.
Very truly yours,
