Auto Troubles.

people. But here is the story

Baum's S car, and a. r. DAVIS, the
K. K. agent, went with them.
They got part way to Solano,
when the drive chain broke and
left them stranded. The Doctor

Baum and Davis are said to have
walked into town about midnight,
leaving the car on the prairie.
An auto is a great trouble
maker, anyway. If it isn't tire
trouble, it's transmission trouble
or engine trouble or magnetic
trouble or carburetter trouble or
broken springs or the commutator
or the differential or some one of
a dozen other parts with long
names and short life that has you
guessing and tinkering and
swearing, and maybe walking,

she is going right, how quick we
forget all our troubles.

presiding.
Miss Vallie Duncan was elected
treasurer, and the matter of
adopting a constitution was dis
cussed. 1t developed that the
form of constitution submitted
by the general Endeavor Society
was too drastic for the young
people in Roy, and a committee
was appointed to prepare a con-
stitution to meet the conditions
here. The young people here are
taking hold of the Endeavor
movement in earnest and hand
ling it in a businesslike manner.
There are many here who do not
fancy giving up what is classed
by some church societies as
worldly pleasures" and still
they are anxious to participate in
the Endeavor movement. They
are too honorable to assume
pledges which they are unwilling
to live up to, but where there's q
will, there's a way, and we are
sure they will find the way.

GOV. V.MILLSVISITSROY

On Friday noon Governor
Mills passed through Roy on his
way to the capital at Santa Fe
from an extended trip oyer the
Rock Island system in company
with Land Commissioner Ervien
and Surveyor General Miller,
looking over proposed sites for
public roads, he being the chair
man of the Good Roads Commits
sion.
The train stops at Roy thirty
minutes for dinner, and as soon
as the train pulled in he was met
by an automobile party in E j. H.
Roy's large Henry car, composed
of Messrs. Roy, Bushkevitz and
+. S. Brown. The Car was
stopped near the depot, where an
opportunity was given our Gov
ernor to meet the Leading bust
ness men of our town, then the
party proceeded to take dinner at
the restaurant.
Governor Mills, during his
half-hour stay in Roy, was well
entertained considering the short
notice. Mr.. Roy got word that
he was a passenger on the train
and informed all the business
men he could and with his small
crowd met the train. The party
tried to persuade the Governor
to stay over, but on account of
very pressing business at the
Capital he could not do so at this
time, out promised to visit our
town in the very near future.
The party called his attention to
the necessity of a territorial road
across the Red River Canyon to
Wagon Mound. The Governor
assured us that he would bring
the matter to the attention of the
Good Eyoads Commission and let
us know of their decision in the
matter
We are only sorry that we did
not know of his coming at least a
few hours in advance, for we
would have made his short stay
more pleasant. And we do hope
that his real visit to Roy will be
at an early date, so as to enable
us to show him the advantages Of
our community and that we are
fairly and justly entitled to the
claims of a new county.

MAKING A CHAIN ROCKET.
The Most Difficult Fireworks Of Its
Class to Manufacture.

Most difficult of all rockets to make
is the hanging chain. The expert at
the head of the department does all
the work on these himself apart from
making the projecting case. Into the
relatively small case that is called the
head of the rocket, must be carefully
placed paper parachute and perhaps
200 feet of Irvine, in such a manner
that neither will be set on fire. At
tached to this cord at intervals are
cases called 'lances," loaded with fire
works that burn like ball of fire.
The exploding charges drives the
cone shaped cap from the rocket; then
the parachute. supporting the hanging
chain, is released. 1t opens as soon as
downward pressure is exerted, after
the fireworks part is forced from the
case.
At the moment when the exploding
charge acts al fuse to the first lance is
ignited. First. it frees the lance from

about $50 to manufacture rocket

How the Favorite Flower Grows in

Nobody thought much of the rhodo-

regarded as one of the Injuries of the

their heirs. But when that gorgeous
giant of the floral kingdom was rec

their national year by the billion.
Since the middle of May there has
