SPRING FEVER
ATTACKS CITY
Mountain Draws Big Crowd Sun
day, City Deserted by People
Whose Hearts Long for the
Fields Aglow-

Owing TO the fine weather and
the sight of green on the fields
spring fever claimed many VIC
tins in Tucumcari the first of
the week, the sufferers taking to
the hills and creeks for relief.
Sunday was a day on which the
trouble was most marked and the
mountain it is said, attracted the
most sufferers, one of the largest
crowds in the history of the town
being seen there.
Automobiles, wagons, carri-
ages and buggies and many
strong and even weak feet carri-
ed the crowds out from town.
Everything points TO an early
spring. Many Tucumcari resi-
dents already have lettuce and
radishes growing and the shade
trees are budding.

IL is said that a new company
has taken over the holdings of
the Bad Lands oil company and
will complete the work which
was begun ever a year ago.
The land which is held by the
company is situated thirteen
miles east OF Tucumcari along
the lines OF the Tucumcari and
Memphis railway and lies in what
is known as the Bad Lands, a
district void of any vegetation.
The old company had reached
depth of about l+0O feet with
one we'll when work was stopped
and the mac hinery moved, This
however was not done because OF
the absence of oil signs, as good
indications of the mineral already \
had been found.
Prospectors who have viewed
the land declares that there ar,

No country is prosperous un-
less the community, as "A whole,
is Self-supporting. If the farmers
cannot make living then there
is something radically wrong.
In the past il is proven that
100 acres is not a sufficient num-
ber for farmer to make living
and support his family on the
account of the uncertainty OF
raising crops and for the farmer
TO live he must have more land
and some stock to become inde-
pendent and permanent citizen.
What we need is u larger home
stead unit go acres. With the
passage of such an act it would
enable every farmer to build
homes, keep a few head of stock
and live in a comparatively re-
spectful manner.
Cong r-ss at this session | be-
lieve will give us this desired
legislation.
There are many bills before
congress namely.-The Jones
Bill, FERGUSON Bill. Kent Bill,
Senator Fall Bill and others.
Senator Falls Bill is different
from all the rest and will say in
brief that it is intended if it
should become "A law for the state
to take over all the government
land that is now under the super
vision of the United States gov
ernment and turn over To the
state to be administered by the
state government for the best in-
terest of the state and the people
and the United States govern
mcnt would loose control.
The Kent Bill is house Bill
gotten up specially for the large
cattleman. 1t provides for the
leasing of some 100000, 900 acres
of government land for term of
years at so much per acre.
The FERGUSON and Jones Bills
the people are more acquainted
with and have discussed more or
less the provisions contained in
the bills.
These are the best Bills from
the homesteader'S standpointand
of course we are most interested
in the passage of one of them.
These Bills contain the es-
sence of home-builders, more
people and lighter taxation.
The FERGUSON bill is better
for the old settler than any bill
introduced but the Jones Bill will
come nearer being passed than
any for it has the administration
behind it.
We believe thatit will be amend
ed and we certainly hope so.
There is no reason under the
shining sun why a man that has
settled first should not be given
as much land as a later settler

DIARY OF FATHER TIME

The old, old custom of town-crying
in England, which was in a fair way
to becoming extinct, has received an
added stimulus lately. An annual
competition in which a handsome
prize is awarded to the Bellman with
the finest voice is now being held,
with the result that the quality of
''town-crying" has gone up fifty per
cent. Notices of sales of furniture
and auctions in the cattle-market,
once shouted and beloved without
art or ceremony, are now discreetly
toned and modulated. The railway
porters seem likely to follow the ex-
ample of the town-criers. A musical
genius has arisen among them, the
rich quality of whose voice has long
been the admiration of regular tray
elers on the line where he was en-
pIoyed. In the near future it may be
difficult to distinguish a genuine
town-crier from an operatic artist in
disguise.

Little Walter has dark, swapping

And although so young he seems to

Santa Monica, CAL, Feb. 5.-WaI-

great Belasco.
He is somewhat quite close to the
magnificent age of 4 years and he
has gone into business for himself!
Strictly speaking it is profession
which he has chosen, for be it known
to all other small and great folks
with career in mind, young Walter
is doing parts in photoplays.
He has been featured in colonial,
Z puritan and a modern play, upon
the screen. And as you see him here,
re is dressed for a genuine Indian
lrt, the kind every small boy just
Ives to try.
Walter Belasco, Jr., is the pet of
everyone on the big Kay Bee ranch.
Rough and ready cowboys reach
down from their saddles and lift him
- in front of them and whir away.
His mother misses him, sometimes,
and wonders for a moment where he

MONKEY FUR MOST POPULAR
