UNLAWFUL FENCING

U. o. District Attorney Instructed TO

United States District Attorney sum

from the Attorney General MeReynolds
authorizing him to postpone prosccu.

the matter.
The district attorney, Summers Burk

ADVERTISING TOUR
OF STATE TO Be
MADE BY BAND
Director Lowe Planning big Move for
Putting Advantages Of City -.
fore the People

A movement Is on foot through the
efforts Of Director J. I. Lowe to make
the Tucumcari band an efficient advef-
tisine agent for this city during the
coming summer months.
Mr.. Lowe for some time has been con.
sidering the proposition Of taking q
tour through New Mexico and neigh.
boring states, giving concerts where.
ever arrangements might be made and
incidentally boosting Tueumcasi and
Quay county. A speaker would accom-.
pany to tell Of the resources Of the dis
'rict and the opportunities offered here.
Under certain conditions a charge
for admittance TO these concerts would
be made, at other times the entertain
ment would be free and given possibly
in some central gathering point or park
The charge would depend upon ths ma
ture Of the program and the size Of the
town, whether or not Il would be ad.
visablc. Where such a movement has
been tried, IL has proven q great sue.
cess.
There is said TO be little financial
earning for the twenty two members Of
the band in town Of this size and
while the members are willing 10 give
their time to the weekly practice, there
must be some source Of earning q liv.
ing for each member. Mr.. Lowe urges
the business men OF Tucumcari 70 EN-.
ploy when possible, men who may be Of
use TO the band, musicians. At the
present time bass players ere needed
badly but IL has been found difacult
to keep them here because Of the small
income. His idea is that he employ
players who are efficient In other lines
so that they may have employment In
the various businesses Of the city.
II IN the moral rather than the Anan.
eial aid which he desires from the busi.
ness men. With the former he beiisves
that all will go well with the organiza.
'ion. A business manager from among
the business men Is desired greatly.
The band will aim to give weekly
free concerts during the winter. Mr..
Evans has kindly given the use of the
opera house on Sunday afternoon. BY
this method II is hoped interest in the
band and its plans will be stimulated
and that the proposed tour for advsr.
tisine the locality will be rendered pos.
sible.

In our school the potato patch is our

The income this year at the farm af.
ter all expenses Of the inhabitants, In.

This represents the portion Of the farm
products which the children and the
farm hands could not consume. Lake
