DIRECT PRIMARY AGAIN.

From the st. Adams MesscngcrD

The more we consider the subject the
more We are convinced that the time has
come to change tho method by which
party candidates are nominated. The
only danger with a primary law Is the
indifference Of the voters Bat this dan

MEETING OF FAIR COMMITTEE.

There wa an enthusiastic meeting
Thursday afternoon. The executive
committee, and the chairmen of neal.
ly all the subcommittee were present,
and the reports show that the fourth
annual fair of Quay county will prob.
ably be the very best in every respect
that we have ever had. The school
exhibit is going to be Il new and novel
feature Of the fair, and it is now
thought that at least forty of the
schools OF the county will send ex.
hibits. The city High School will
have a unique exhibit, and some of
the features will do credit to those
who have the matter in hand.
The street parade that will take
place on the first day of the fair will
eclipse all former efforts. The citizens
are determined to make the parade
one that it will be worth going miles
10 see. Some Of the floats will have
as many AZ fifty or more persons On
them aud those who do not witness the
parade will miss one of the very best
events of the fair. All arrangements
for the Baseball and Polo games were
perfected Thursday and Tucumcari
will have some of the finest sports that
can be seen in any part OF the South
west. We are publishing a letter from
the ladies in charge of the Art aud
Culinary exhibits, in which they appeal
to the ladies Of the city and county tC
bring what they have in these lines
and help to make an exhibit worthy
Of the City and County, and that viii
be an honor TO the Fair.
The management is especially an
xious to have the farmers bring II
their stock for exhibition, FOR there
will be visitors from many parts OF
the Territory and from other states
and we want the world to know wha'
kind Of stock is being raised in thi'
county.

Advertise at the Land Shows

possible for the Bureau Of immigration
TO provide sufficient literature for each
district for effective distribution at
these shows. The best we can do with
the funds available is TO provide gen.
eral literature ON New Mexico. We want
to impress upon every district in New
Mexico the importance of having an
adequate supply of literature for dis.
tribution. The literature need not be
expensive or bulky, but II should be
carefully prepared and should present
a olinching argument in favor of the
district. Where a district representative
Is not present with ny the Bureau OF
Immigration will see TO the distribution
Of this literature. More than 100000
people attended the Chicago last yeaI,
With the publicity being given the at.
tendance will be greatly increased. This
show comes %co.incident with the Nation.
al Live Stock show and attracts the
very best class of farmers and prospec.
tive homeseekers from the middle and
central western states. IL il therefore
plain that distribution Of literature at
these shows will be well worth the small
expense involved. Several districts are
already preparing very attractive pam
phlets for this purpose. We will be
glad to be of any assistance to any mem
Der of the Association in preparing thi,
literature.
The names Of all persons registering
at the New Mexico exhibit at the Land
Show will be published in issues OF

WELL IRRIGATION

The subject Of well irrigation is be-
coming one OF much interest TO the
farmers Of New Mexico. Nearly every
day some one tells MS Of irrigating a
few acres from a well, and Of the won.
werful results. The farmer who can
irrigate five acres, will have a better
assurance of a crop every year than
the one who attempts to grow 10 acres
Of crops and waits for the rains until
i: is too late for the crops to mature, if
rains should come as late as they did
this sumner.
In q few years there will be hun
dreds Of farmers in Quay County who
with a few acres, say FIVE 10 twenty,
irrigated, will demonstrate 10 men of
means the fact that with the expendi.
ture of a little money, the land of the
famous Quay County can be made worth
from 800 TO $3.50 per acre. The soil of
Quay county has hardly an equal in
the country. Tens of thousands of ac.
res are as rich as the Mississippi river
bottoms and as level as the floor,
Water can be procured in abundant
quantities at a depth Of from IL "a
100 feet. The cost of wells sufficient
TO water 90 acres will not be over sl,
900 or $50 per acre. The land can be
purchased today for $1,000 per acre
making the total cost of the land irri.
gated $50 per acre, when irrigated land

territory at from 900 to 5000 per acre

lands are from 90 to 40 miles from q
railroad station and hundreds of mile,
from q good market, while Quay Count,

roads traversing the county, and ar,

A gentleman stepped into the Office
this week, aud In conversation with him
we learned that he was born in Eng.
land. He spoke Of o time a few years
ago when he had planned TO visit his
native country and then he said
Mother died and I did not want TO
go back" While mother lived Eng.
land was his home, or In other words
his home was where mother was. What
a beautiful sentiment. Mothers do make
the home, and the home is just what
mother makes II. The father may be-
of a class that does not amount 10 much
he may be n hinderence rather than a
help TO his offspring, and he may
bring the blush Of shame TO his chill
dren, but when mother remains stead
fast and true, when she trains hei
children in the fear and admonitior
Of the Lord, those children still hav,
a home as long as mothers heart beats
How many Of us feel today that II
we could only 60 TO our dear mother
and as in childhood breathe In her eai
all our troubles, our burdens, our cares
and feel again the gentle touch of hel
loving hand upon our head, or hear hel
comforting words, that we would cal
the place Of these holy ministration'
our home. But in 80 many cases, mother
has gone, and while the heart has man,
a resting place, Il has only once a home

The prospect for the fair this year
is very bright indeed. Letters are com

tions of the county asking for space,
and assuring the managers that each
community will bring the best exhibit
they have ever sent to u fair. The a.
nance committee are well pleased with
the donations Of the merchants of the
city, and the committee on premiums
have had a specified amount given them
