QUAY COUNTY WILL
HAVE BIG FAIR FIRST
WEEK IN OCTOBER
UNION GARAGE LEASES THE
SPACIOUS WASSON BUILDING

The Union Garage" has leased the
Tucumcari Garage from J. Is. Smith
and moved same to the Wasson build
ing on Center street where they will
have large and substantial building
especially fitted for that class of work.
IL is said that 100 cars can be stor-
ed in the room for that purpose. In
addition to this the work room is of
sufficient size to let the workmen han
die the work with expediency.
The machinery was moved TO the
new location this week and when the
workmen were ready for duty yes
terday morning there were eight cars
needing repair work.
The manager of the new firm will
be j. +. Montgomery, while the head
mechanic will be l.. j. Pelzer, who will
be ably assisted by the former owner.
j. B. Smith and other competent work
men. New machines will he put in
and "A class of work done that has
heretofore been sent out of town. IL
will also he equipped with all kinds
of accessories and the prices will be
as low as possible. An effort will be
made to buy gasoline cheaper so that
tourists from the east will not think
they are being robbed when they fill
their tanks here. AS il is the price
has been seven cents higher here than
in Amarillo.
This new building is so arranged
that parties may secure private stalls
and the car can be removed from the
garage without interfering with other
cars. We bespeak for Mr.. Montgom-
cry and Mr.. Pelzer nothing but sue
cess and we think they will attend to
the wants of the travelling public at
all times. We understand the agents
for the Buick, Dodge Bros. and few
other makes will keep car on exhi-
bition at this garage. but the owners
are agent for no cars.

TAX PAYERS ASSOCIATION

Santa Fe, N. NJ, Aug. l7.--It is
understood here that the State Tax
Payers Association which has been
discussed more or less constantly
since the close of the last legislature,
is likely TO become reality in very
short time, as result of the activity
of number of business men in all
parts of the state who are interested
in the details of organization. Bank
ers, merchants, stockmen, and others
have interested themselves in the
movement and it is now expected that
n formal call for an organization meet
ing will be issued so that the meeting
may take place in this city while the
state tax commission is in session,
which will be for ten days following
August Both.
In "A formal call made here today
and signed by prominent business men
and professional men from all Sec
tlons of the state, the taxpayers of
New Mexico are invited to meet in
this city on Wednesday, September !,
for the purpose of organizing the New
Mexico Taxpayers Association. The
date of the organization meeting was
determined by the fact that the State
Tax Commission will be in session at
the time and many Taxpayers with
business before the Commission will
thus he able to attend, who otherwise
might not be present.
II is clear that there is room for
such an organization in New Mexico
because of the apparent need of econ
omy and efficiency in the expenditure
of public money. Similar organiza-
tions in other states have encountered
and have corrected conditions similar
to those now existing in New Mexico,
having thereby proved of use TO the
taxpayers and state. 1t is not the
purpose of the proposed organization
to undertake any of the work now del
egated to the State Tax Commission
or to interfere in any way individual
assessments of property.
The main object of the association
as outlined, is the promotion of eff
cheney and economy in all departments
Of state and local government. To
this end, every taxpayer in New Mex
leo, corporate or individual, is invited
to attend and participate in the organ
iZation meeting.

TUCUMCARI 4. CLOVIS 3

The base ball game Sunday was
well attended and from all reports
ic was the fastest exhibition ever put
up on the local diamond.
The Clovis team was composed of
good players and the pitcher was in
good form, striking out thirteen men.
Tucumcari's pitcher whitfield the same
number and each team made seven
hits. Several spectacular plays and
catches were made but owing to US
failing to get the box score we are
not in shape to give complete write
up of the game.
The score at the end was to in
favor of Tucumcari and this of itself
would indicate that the game was a
hard one from start to finish.

GEORGE {. TATE IS
VICTIM OF TYPHOID
ANOTHER PROMINENT CITIZEN
DIED SATURDAY FROM TY.
Plus FEVER-SICK ONLY
a SHORT TIME

We are called upon again this week
to chronicle the death of another cit
izen of Tucumcari. This time II is
George Evans Tate, who is well and
favorable known all over the county,
as he had been identified with many
business houses in this city. At diff
ferent times he was in business for
himself.
Mr.. Tate was sick but three weeks
and the cause Of his death was said
to have been typhus fever. He was
strong man physically when taken
down and seemed to have been fore
warned of the end as he often said he
would never recover, even before his
condition became serious.
Until few days before his death
he remained conscious and his many
friends were extremely hopeful for
his recovery, but suddenly he was
taken worse and never fully rallied,
dying Saturday morning, August ID,
at 8 o'clock.
The funeral was held at the Pres
byterian church, where large crowd
congregated to pay their last respects
to one of our best citizens. The re-
mains were then taken to Sunnyside
cemetery and laid TO rest.
Mr.. Tate was born March II, 1884,
near Stephenville, Texas, and grew to
manhood in his native state. He had
been Il resident of this state for sew
eral years, where he was salesman
for wholesale and retail firms and was
always found reliable He owned a
farm near town and was stocking it
with cattle and horses. At the time
of his death he was member of the
city council and was always found
working for what he thought was
right. He could count his friends by
the score on account of his faithful
ness to friends in all public work.

FALSE ALARM

II was reported yesterday that
number of the occupants of the coun-
ty Jail had forced their way out dur
the night and made their escape.
The report said Sheriff Ward met
the night train and Under Sheriff 4.
+. Winters was also meeting trans
and looking for the escaped convicts.
We made post haste to ascertain the
facts and TO find out how many had
escaped. We found the officers rather
unconcerned and wondering how such
a report could have been started, as
they never missed any of their star
boarders yesterday morning when the
usual breakfast was served.
So we were knocked out of the ar
ticle we were expecting to write, but
II makes no difference TO us because
the officers would no doubt have soon
rounded up the gang and returned
the members 10 the county bastile.

REV. EVANS CALLED TO DENVER

Rev. A. n. Evans, the popular pas
tor of the Center Street Methodist
church in this city, has accepted call
to the pastorate of the st. Paul's
church in Denver, Colo, and will leave
for that place next week. He will
not remain permanently until about
the first of October.
Rev. Evans has made many friends
during his stay in this city, not only
members of his large congregation,
but citizens and members Of all de-
nominations and creeds.
In the pulpit he is forcefu and
convincing speaker and has always
championed the cause of right no
matter what the subject might be.
He will he missed by the young folks
of the church and city as he was
firm believer of good wholesome en-
ercise and was one of the main insti-
gators of the tennis court craze which
followed the installation of the court
south of the postoilice. He has built
up strong congregation who would
stand by him on any proposition he
would choose to champion.
We hope Rev. Evans will change
his mind about going to Colorado al
though the church which has called
him is the home of wealthy congre-
cation and the temptation will he too
great to refuse, as we know he is
capable of holding down most any
pastorate in the west. We can only
wish him and his family continued
success and hope that he will become
a leader in the cause he is champion
inc as his lfe's work.

STATE FAIR PROMISES TO
BE A GRAND SUCCESS

The 1915 New Mexico State Fair
has already outgrown the dreams of
its most ardent supporters. Arrange
ments are now being made to move the
fences of the fair grounds TO take In
sufficient number Of acres upon which
to place the immense exhibits and the
amusement features. IL has been nee
essary to petition the county commis-
sioners to close one of the roads to
the south of the grounds that the fair
grounds may cross the road and take
in an adjoining field.
The county exhibits alone will re-
quire large space. Up to date. ~
counties have been visited by the Fair
officials. and in every instance from
5000 to $1,000 has been appropriated
for county exhibit which will com
pete for the $3.50 offered by the fair
for the best county exhibit. II is now
believed that nearly every county in
the state will be represented and that
the greatest showing of New Mexico's
resources ever gotten together will be
seen at the State Fair.
The stock show is going to be i'm
mense. National exhibitors are in
teresting themselves in the fair this
year, induced by the larger premiums
Some of the stock department which
in the past have secured but few ex-
hibitors, will be large and complete.
The Indian exhibit alone will be a
great feature. They are securing the
cooperation of the Indian Office al
Washington, and authority has been
given to every Indian reservation and
school in the state to make exhibits
of agricultural products, stock, indus
trial pursuits and arts and crafts.
The poultry show will be the largest
ever held in New Mexico. A thousand
birds will be shown from all sections
of the country. There are other ex.
hibits and features, such IN weaving
and art, the better babies contest and
the domestic science and other de-
partments.
Amusement features galore have
been contracted for. Not the least of
these is the Kilties Band which will
cost the fair $4,000 for the week. This
band has toured the world twice and
has played all of the big expositions.
II will bring its Scotch Dancers, bag
pipers and singers.
A $4,000 fireworks display has been
arranged for four nights Of the week.
Concerts and other features. The best
wire and high dive acts have bees se-
cured. balloon races and illuminated
ascensions at night and high class
vaudeville.
A troop of U. S. Cavalry with fine
mounted band will furnish hippodrome
and hurdle races. The army polo
teams will give the people of New
Mexico the first opportunity they have
had to see this most exciting sport.
There will also be roping and riding.
All of the horse races have filled
for the fair, and one horse will race
for the $4,000 in purses hung up.
The greatest bunch of horse flesh ever
gotten together in New Mexico will
be seen at the fair and every race
will be hotly contested.

SATISFACTORY ATTENDANCE

That the people Of Tucumcari are
able to appreciate good music, and
that they are willing to lend their sup
port to the attainment of high ideals

the large attendance at the special
Sunday evening musicals at the Epis-
copal church. On recent Sunday
evening, many were turned away for
lack of seats, while on last Sunday
night there was goodly attendance,
in spite of the storm.

hair beautifully dark, glossy and
abundant. Whenever her hair fell
out or took on that dull, faded or
streaked appearance, this simple
mixture was applied with wonderful
effect.
But brewing at home is mussy and
out Of date. Nowadays, by asking at
any drug store for q 6O-cent bottle Of
"Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com

recipe which can be depended upon

A we'll known downtown druggist
says II darkens the hair so naturally
and evenly that nobody can tell Il

en- n sponge or soft brust with II and
draw this through your hair. taking
one strand at O time. BY morning
the gray hair disappears. and after
another application or two II becomes
beautifully dark. glossy and abundant.
