COMPANIES
MAKE LOWER RATE
Tueumcsri Participants in New Sche,
duie which Gives Cheaper 100
Pound Shipments

Tucumcari will get cheaper ex-
press rates on February lst
along with other sections of the
United States. Where the rate
for five pounds formerly was IS
cents on first class matter, the
new rate will be only 80 cents, a
reduction of fifty percent. The
reduction applies to all classes
but in interstate rates remaining
the same. In "A general way ii
may be stated that articles of
food and drink take second class
while all other articles take first
class subject to "A limited number
of variations from this rule.
Distances are figured according
To a block system something after
the principal of the zone of the
parcal post. Each station has its
own schedule Of rates. Receipts
are issued for merchandise and
delivery made at destination. Ii
is believed that the new rates
will attract some of the trade on
small parcels which has been go-
ing to the post Office department,
as the especial reduction is made
on small articles and for long
haulS.
The following show the re-
duction on 100 pound shipments
from various points to Tucum-
carl:
From New York. formerly
800. new rate, $3.50.
Kansas City, old rate. s3.75.
new rate. $500.
Chicago, old rate SS.95. new

Saint Louis. old rate, $500 new
rate, $500.
Denver, old rate. $500, new
rate, S2.25.
Amarillo, old rate, Sl.2S, new
rate Sl.+0
In the case of Amarillo. as may
be seen the new rate is higher
than the old.

LOCO IS LOCO
But the Baneful Weed is Scarce
This Year SO the Caitlemen say
and they are glad OF il

The loco weed which as rule
is plentiful in this section of the
country, seems to be on the de-
cline according to the reports of
cattlemen throughout the county.
Although there are several
varieties of this noxious plant,
all have similar effect on the
stock which feed upon il. Some
varieties however produce more
dropsical signs on the stock
while others show preponder-
ancc of intestinal symptoms with
constipation. The weed as is
well known sets the animal wild,
hence the name of Loco, crazy.
Where the plant is plentiful,
cattlcmen guard the stock care
fully to keep them from feeding
upon it which it is said they will
do as there seems To be facina-
ton in its effects.

Ten Trees Named by Local Mana
ger Of Government Experiment
Station for Planting
in this Section
By J. 4. Mundell

Several varities of trees do we'll
here when given the proper at
tention after planting according
To the best methods. Black To-
Gust is the favorite in Tucumcari
and many of these trees have
been planted already. Other
varieties however do we'll and
give a variety to the foliage. a
number Of suitable varieties are
as enumerated below;
Russian Mulberry (Morus
Alba Tatarica) The Russian Null
berry has proven to be very
good drouth resisting tree in New
Mexico and in the plains region.
1t is a rather rapid grower and
makes an attractive roundish
head when kept properly thinned
out and trimmed. When young
the tree tends to sprout quite
badly at the base and along the
trunk. This makes thinning
and trimming necessary if a
taller tree is wanted. For low
windbreaks this ssrouting should
be encouraged by topping back.
Black Locust Gre bina psen-
dacacie) This tree is the one
most planted in the dry sections
of the panhandle and eastern
New Mexico. 1t withstands =
drouth we'll and grows rapidly
with an upright fern. The
Black Locust sprouts badly when
the roots are injured by blowing.
There sprouts should be kept
pruned out, as well as the suckers
that come up around the trunk
of the tree to prevent unneces.
sary drains upon the main trunk
of the tree.
Elm -(Ulmus Americana The
elm has always been popular
tree for planting. 1t is probably
not quite as good drouth resis-
ter as the black locust or Russian
Mulberry, and is slower in
growth. Where the elm can be
properly started and taken care
of afterward, it proves a very de.
sirable tree to plant. When
there is sufficient water supply
to give these trees an occasional
irrigation il would be a good
plan to do. They will pay in
additional growth for this extra
attention.
Usage Orange - (Texylon pen.
iferum) a drouth resisting tree
well adopted for planting as a
shade tree, in the windbreak or
as hedge plant. 1t is quite
hardy and a rapid grower in
favorable locations. One objec.
tion to this tree, being that it is
a great feeder, quite thorny and
is rather hard on the soil and
any crop growing next to it. The
Usage orange will sprout quite
badly from the roots when in.
jured. Takes trimming and
pruning ont of the surplus limbs
and sprouts TO make it grow well
as a shade tree.
Wild Olive-(Elae- US angus,
tifolia) This tree OF Russian
origin is medium growing plan,
and is well adapted to the drieI

THE TREE VARIETIES
FOR TUCUMCARI

localities. II grows rather slow
ly with a rounded head and has
narrow leaves that are silvery
white underneath. The blooms
which appear in mid-spring are
yellowish and have a pleasant
fragrance. The power of the
wild olive to withstand cold and
drouth puts it in the list of valu-
able trees and plants for planting
in the dry farming regions.
Bull Pine (Pinus ponderosa)
This tree found on the foothills
and in the mountains of the
western plains is one of the best
drouth resisting evergreens that
could be planted in the great
plains area. Authorities on the
subject claim that il takes only
l-6 as much moisture for this
tree as for the deciduous of the
same size. In starting this tree
small plants not more than foot
in height should be used. Shad-
ing until we'll established will
help insure success with this
tree.
Black Walnut (Mountain
Var) The black walnut is found
growing along many of the
streams and washes throughout
New Mexico. 1t seems to do
well in these localities and ought
to prove valuable for planting in
drier locations.
Native Mountain Live Oak
The live oak offers chances for
planting around the home steads
and in yards about the house and
buildings. II is native OF New
Mexico thing strongly in gain
for it's planting.
Red Cedar-(Juniperus Vir-
giniana) This is a very hand some
and a good tree to plant where
!! an evergreen is desired. 1t is
very hardy and adapted to the
plains region. The same gener-
al care exercised in planting
other evergreens should be fol-
lowed when planting this tree.
The red cedar grows vigorously
in favorable locations and a row
of them makes good windbreak.
Cottonwood - (Populus Free
montii) The cottonwood is very
extensively planted in New Mex
leo and is found growing natural
ly along all the streams that
transverse the plains country.
This tree grows very rapidly but
requires a good deal of water and
is generally short lived. When
a quick growth is desired and
plenty of water is available the
cottonwood may be planted and
in with it some of the slower
growing but more permanent
trees, with the idea in view of re-
moving il when il shows signs of
dying off. This tree is very
easily started. Long cuttings
made from the healthy vigorous
parts of the tree will root easily
if planted in early spring before
the tree leaves out, and kept
we'll watered. The chief objec-
ton to the cottonwood is the fly
ing cotton during parts of the
year. This nuisance may be
obviated by planting cuttings
taken from the male trees.
Soaki ,g the cuttings in water
will help materially in starting
them.

dition.
LIGHT COMPANY REFUsEs OFFER
The proposition made the Tu-
cumcari Light and Power Co.
recently by the city for the
furnishing of lights for the city
streets, has been returned un-
accepted. The city's offer
agreed to put in twenty six adj
ditional street lights giving Il
total of thirty two lights to be
arranged AT intervals of two
blocks from the present light
terminals. An offer of 500 a
month was made for this number
of lights the lights to be turned
on according to the variations in
the setting and rising of the sun,

period OF ten years and the city
40 have the right to add more
lights If necessary at the same
price per light.
The company claim that they
cannot furnish the lights at the
figure offered and city claim that
the company's offer is exorbitan'
At the meeting of the city council
Thursday night it was decided
to let the matter rest until IN

"Oh, you have asphalt

claimed a lady passenger
from one of the trains last
week. She had seen the
wind-swept adobe and cin-
der mixture with which the
street department had been
filling the streets down town
and which had brushed to
an even asphalt colored SUR
face. When the mistake
was pointed out to her, she
would not apologize as she
said that they looked like
asphalt any yhow, and from
what she could see of Tu-

SPECIAL COVER FOR FR0CS
Best Method of Protecting the "Parsy
Gown" When It is Hanging in
the Wardrobe.

Nearly every girl realizes that the
average party gown gets more hard
usage when hanging in the crowded
wardrobe than while it is being actu-
ally worn. And as most girls have far
less wardrobe space than they need,
the best means cs protecting the party
frock from contact with the workaday
garments is TO make special cover
for it Of lawn, dimity, muslin, cheese
cloth or a similar material Having
measured the length of the gown from
shoulders to skirt hem, take two full
widths Of the chosen covering material
and shape an end OF each one of them
into shoulders and Che half of neck.
The shoulders and tie long, straight
sides of the cover are then scanned
together, the bottom is hemlned, the
neck is neatly bound with ribbon
bowed in front at the top OF two short
silken cords from which depend two
small square or oval sachets. When
the gown is adjusted to it's individual
hanger and the muslin cover drawn
smoothly over its folds and draperies
it is in a condition TO be as nicely kept
as it is possible to keep any unlocked
garment.

Motive Power in Norway.

The greatest single factor in the
possible industrial development OF
Norway lies undoubtedly in its cheap
and abundant hydroelect. ic power.
The country having practically no coal
resources. the Norwegian industries
are coming to depend more and more
upon the utilization of waterfalls as
q primary motive power source.
