The rain Sunday was accompanied
by big hail storm and the local gar

water was about four feet deep where
IL crossed the Amarillo. .Tucumcari road

easily be heard a mile away. The
rain commenced shortly after one In

rived without much warning, which is
said to have measured about two inches

GRADUATING
CLASS OF 1914
Addressed by Filadelfo Baca
Before q Large Crowd
of Citizens

The graduating exercises at the OPP
era House last Friday evening marked
the close of the Tucumcari schools.
The house was beautifully decorated
and the program was interesting and
carried out with one exception 20 that
as printed.
There were four young ladies in the
class this year, Eula Street, Mionette
sandusky, Stella Afford and Minnie b.
Horn, all Of whom are well known here
and have host of friends who extend
To- them the congratulations they so
richly deserve.
Hon Filadelfo Baca, who delivered
the Commencement address, was some.
what handicapped b. having n bad
cold, thus making il impossible for
him TO be heard distinctly throughout
the hall, but his address was scholarly
and full Of good advice TO all and II
we had room we would have been glad
To have given II IN ruiz.
Mr.. Baca is first assistant in the
State Educational Department and en-.
joys the reputation Of being one of the
best educators in the state. During
his address he took a few minutes to
explain the county high school propo-
sition more fully to the citizens of
Quay county and said in part:
That Quay county citizens were un-
der obligations TO the boys of today
10 educate them for the duty Of filing
the places of their fathers; that the
girls of today should be fully instruct
cd in order that they may fully realize
the duties Of the mothers Of the next
generation; that the state was under
obligation to see that such a place as
a county high school be established in
this county in order TO place our boys
and girls on an equal basis with that
of the other counties Of the state.
lie stated that there were already
twelve county high schools in the state
-four in Eddy county, one each in
Colfax, Lincoln, Guadalupe, Luna, Me-
Kinley and Otera; and two in Socorro
counties. Petitions are cut to estab-
lish county schools at willard, Estan.
'cia, Mountainair, Belen and Santa Fe
Quay county held an election about a
yeor ago and the proposition was bad
ly misunderstood and lost by a small
majority. There is to be another cleo
tion this year when II is hoped the
proposition will carry, not tecause Tu'
cumcari wants il but because it is the
best thing for Quay county.
Mr.. Baca's argument was not be-
cause of his interest in Tucumcari, but
because of his desire to see the ad'
vancement of education 20 TO the limit
all over the state. lie said the assess.
ed valuation of Quay county is $s,344'
59l, with an exemption of s305,5sO,
making total of $2,679,69s subject to
tax. Tucumcari alone has an assessed
valuation of q, 2,i54, 1906 with $sls, l02
subject to tax, or about one third of
the whole amount OF the county. The
additional tax levy could not exceed
. mills on the dollar which Mr.. Baca

are going to be more and more model

and to stimulate those who see it to

FARGO COLLEGE
PLAY TONIGHT
TIE BOOSTERS WILL BE PRE-
sENTED AT FARGO COLLEGE
CHAPEL THIS EVENING BE.
FORE ENTHUSIASTIC AUDIENCE
or BOOSTERS.

The synopsis of the play, The Boost
ers, which Is to be given at Fargo COL
lege tonight and Monday evening, is
as follows: e. ~ 4,
Mr.. Gordon, q typical booster in a
young western town, is. using his in
huence to- get a canning factory
financed by Mr.. Carlton, a miserly
eastern capitalist. Mrs. Gordon hates
the very word "FboostinG"; her lofty
mind is centered in the philanthropic
project Of establishing an asylum 'tfor
sick and lonely CATS.
Stewart Paige, the Junior partner Of
n firm Gordon & Paige, is in love
with MP. Gordon's charming daughter,
Betty: She. however, does not return
ms affection, so that he in desperation
enters into a scheme with a. former
college friend Of his, Ned Fenton, who
proposes to "take to p~etticoats for
MIN" and boost him in his love. affair.
In the second act of the play, Ned
Fenton, as Gwendolyn Holmes, ap-
pears attired in a ballroom gown, but
instead Of filing the role of a true
booster for his friend, falls In love
with the lady himself. In the mean
time. he liser Carlton, having found
a naW in the title, is about to with
oraW his. money and the grand boost
ing scheme threatens to collapse.
AT this juncture, Ruth Carlton. a.
niece of Mr.. Carlton n secretary t4
Mr.. Gordon, uses her influence with.
her uncle, resulting in his final deci-
sion in favor Of the canning factory.
Ihen mere gratitude on the part. Of
SCeWar Paige turns to love for Ruth.
and thus the way is left clear for Ned
Fenton, who explains his part in the
unfortunate joke of "m~asquerading in
'fuffy ruffles" and asks Miss Befty's
forgiveness, at the same time declar-
ing his love.
The play ends with the canning fac
tory assured, domestic bliss in sight.
