IN UNITY THERE is STRENGTH

An opportunity has passed and this
county has not taken advantage of
il 10 boost the values of land and ad-
v~ertise TO the world that Quay county
can raise anything from a mustard
seed up to an s5-pound watermelon or
corn, oats and other grains as good as
can be produced on high-priced east
ern farms.
The county fair vas good as far as
il went but the farmers did not come
to the assistance of the fair commit
tee with the vim and push and bring
in the products with which we could
make a creditable display alongside
our sister counties. The n depart
ment necessary to show up Quay in
its best was shy in exhibits.
There are hundreds of farms in this
county and everyone should have been
represented in the county exhibit or
display, with the name of the producer
fastened to the product with the ad-
dress and location of the farm. IL is
said that the plains farmers had hard
ly anything here to show what that
wonderful country is doing. Only two
exhibitors of wheat and n of oats.
The valley farms are raising good
products this year and can compare
f~avorably with anything in the state,
which was evidenced when Mr. Miles
Of Endee carried home several pre-
miums from Amarillo where he ex-
hibited his products against a largs
territory.
The showing here last week was
far above the average in most every
thing and had the farmers come in
with their products Quay county nc
doubt would have made a cleaning at
Albuquerque. But there is no use "a

had charge Of affairs this year work.

POWER IN ADVERTISING

John Wanamaker once said: The
mar who pays more for the rent Of his
place of business than he does for
advertising makes a big mistake"
The elements of effective advertis-
ing he defines as follows: ITO attract
attention, to create "A favorable i'm
preston. to awaken desire, to create
confidence and TO impel the reader to
act"
Blow your horn. Wave your flag. Out
of the passing throng there are Gus
toners you "A get If you go at it
right.
Don't expect your first ad. to bring
the money back at once. The farmer
never get his seed back. He waits
for the harvest and then reaps a hun
dred-fold.
Advertising is your invitation to the
public to visit your store. Make it a
cordial invitation and you'll have Wis
itors.
You must tell the truth at all times
If you would be known as "A truthful
man; one lie will brand you ASA liar.
Perhaps when the millennium gets
here "the meek will inherit the earth
but the hustler has a mortgage on il
now.
If you don't advertise, the trade you
lose will pay the other fellows adver-
Using bill.
Get above your competitor by rails
ing yourself not by pushing the other
fellow down.
1t takes spunk, spirit, and speed tC
be a winner. The loafer never won q
race.

everywhere and is never satisfied with
his lot.
The roads between here and the
plains are said to be nearly impass-
able and have been for some time on
account Of various things. Lots of
money is being spent to remedy this
fault aud when good roads have been
established and made permanent so
that some farmer cannot fence up the
road and cause the travelling public
TO travel a new road every time they
come to Tucumcari we may hope TO
come in closer touch with the southern
part of Quay county,
The merchants put up their money
without a WINNER so far as we have
heard but il takes more than money
to hold a good county fair. Most Of us
were too busy to do much, so we de-
pended on the other fellow and the 9th
er fellow was just as busy as we were
and he was depending on US to do the
work. Everytime we choose some one
to run a fair or public enterprise we
lay down and think he or they will
succeed without our assistance. Then
this fellow swears never again will
he do the job, so he refuses TO come
out and help when we start some other
enterprise for the public's benefit.
What will the end be if we keep up
this kind of work. Tucumcari needs
a good commercial club and needs il
bad, The day is near when we must
be up and doing or the "pie" will be
snatched up by the growing cities and
towns in Eastern New Mexico. Tu-
cumcari needs the assistance of the
farmers and the farmers need the as
sistance Of Tucumcari. In unity there
is strength and we must help each 9th
err or the day Of sorrow will overtake
US. Most of US need every dollar we
can get our hands on but sometimes
il would be worth more il we would
use a little strategy. The man who
works day after day for wages never
becomes IA millionaire. If you CAM
pull, get behind and push, do some
thing to boost our country to the front
where it will eventually be If the right
spirit is developed.

best men for the place that we can
find. II you have to buy a mans poll
tax you have TO buy his vote and that
Kind Of q man is no good TO you or
the community. The same holds good
with county officers. The men who
have TO buy their way into Office do
not often make the best officials. They
do not have the public welfare at
heart and are dangerous men to put
in charge Of county affairs.
A community like this cannot get
any better government than its off,

citizen to take an interest in the If

else your right as n citizen and see
to IL that only worthy men r elected
to Office. II you fail to put good men
into office it is entirely your fault, for
through the ballot you have the pow
err to remove the unworthy Office hold

Tucumcari and Quay county have as
many good people according to the
population as may be found anywhere
on earth. The majority believes in
good government and will assist the
officers 70 enforce the laws of the state
and county. An officer must not eX-
pect TO please everybody and do his
duty. The people are aroused as new
err before and unless the candidates
records are clear from crookedness W.
would suggest they keep what money
they now possess and not blow in too
much for campaign purposes in orde,
to buy their way into Office.

ABUSE OF LANGUAGE
By DR.. Emil G. Hirsch.

under two Numerically opposed
commissions the rabbi was reminded
that both in possibilities for good
and in powers for doing harm, the
tongue had no rival. (M1drash
Rabba Par. NNXIll.)
The reader of current newspapers
and magazines in these distracted
times of ours unfortunately finds
ready to hand abundant material
which confirms most distressingly
the penetrating insight into human
characteristics which the Rabbls OF
these Midrashim displayed The
precautions which they urge us to
take against such leprosy as is

understanding OF the distinctive I'M
portance of articulate language as
marking the difference between the
brute and the human being. The
old paraphrases Of the Bible which
were indeed more than TRANSACTIONS,
which were commentaries indicating
the drift of opinion prevailing among
the theologians, regarded speech as
transformed divine breath. The
clay out of which Adam was knead-
ed proved that it was host to divine
breath by the power Of speech which
in the hour Of his creation was given
the first of the human race. But just
because these old Jewish masters
had so keen an estimate of the dig
nifty of this distinctively human ia
Guilty they were deeply concerned
about the possibilities Of mischief
therein involved. Familiar are the
observations of the Midrash which
calling attention to the anatomical
structure Of the tongue conclude
that if its position had been different
great as the havoc is which it works
under existing physical limitation
the conhagrations started by it
would have been infinitely more dis
astrous. The passage deserves to be
reproduced in its entirety. 1.-TWO hun
dred and forty-eight is the number
of limbs comprised in the human
body. Of these some are recumbent
and others are upright. But the
tongue is confined between the two
jaws and underneath it runs a
watery canal (saliva) and it is over
laid with numerous folds. Neverthe-
less how many CONGREGATIONS are
traceable to it! What damage would
result were it so placed as to be
able to stand up or recline at will in
freedom" (Leviticus Rabba Par.
XVI.) For this reason Moses eau
toned the people to be on their
guard against leprosy. This fell dis
ease was caused by eliminating
speech. Another Rabbinical story
underscoring the same lesson is
familiar enough but withal merits
retelling. Rabbi Gemaliel commits
stoned his servant Tabi to purchase
for him the best the market afforded,
whereupon Tabi brought home
tongue Soon thereafter the master
sent his man to the market with the
order to secure for him the worst
he could find with the result that
again tongue was placed before
him. Interpellating his man how SO
the same article could be bought
