WEATHER EFFECTS BUSINESS

This morning we had the promise
Of a good ad from II. Bonem. He ex-
pected TO make "A special sale of his
famous line Of Palm Beach Suits. We
called for the ad and expected to se-
cure at least a quarter of a page, but
to our surprise Mr.. Bonem had on his
winter coat and his hat was pulled
down nearly over his ears and he said
he had decided to wait until next week
to announce the prices of Palm Beach
Suits and ice cream trousers. We
tried to induce him 10 put on n spe-
cial sale Of overcoats, but he would
not fall for It so If you don't see any
ad this week from that store you will
know the reason why.

ENGINEERS DIsPLEAsED

Chicago, Ill.,, May l.-Disapproval
of the arbitration award made last
night TO $4,000 locomotive engineers,
firemen and hostlers employed on 9s
railroads operating west of Chicago,
was expressed today by w. s. Stone,
grand chief engineer of the Brother
hood Of Locomotive Engineers.
"The engineers have gained prac-
tically nothing by the award" Stone
said. There are approximately 34,-
600 engines In the territory and on
not more than 1900 of these have
the engineers gained an increase in
wages, and that increase is SO slight
that it amounts TO practically nothing
We had better rules before than those
granted us by this award"
II was declared that the demands
OF the men would be taken up anew
twelve months hence.

WHEAT LOOKING FINE

The editor OF the Dairyman Farm
er spent couple of days last week
out in the wheat belt north of here
and found growing condition splen-
did. Some Of the wheat ia 10 and i2
inches high, a uniform stand, and is
growing unusually good.
Spring wheat is still being sown
and every acre that is available will
be put in wheat. Some OF the best
posted growers say that the acreage
is from three to five times as large
as last year, an increase of 200 to 400
per cent.
Growers say they cannot see but
one thing that will prevent wheat from
maturing now and that will be a hail

MATRIMONIAL MARKET GOOD

This week number Of licenses have
been issued and Judge j. ID. Cutlip
has been busy man because he per-
formed most Of the ceremonies in the
court house and on nearly every oc-
casion he secured the services of Lee
G. Pearson, our popular county treas
urer, to he one Of the witnesses. II
is noticed that no matter how busy
Mr., Pearson is when he can be OF any
service TO any body, especially on oc-
casions of this kind, he forgets the
office work long enough to lend his
assistance.
Among those who were united in
the holy bonds of matrimony by the
marriage specialist, Judge j. ID. Cut
lip, were the following couples:
II. B. Hancock, Logan, and Miss Lii
lie Powell, Of Hudson. They we're

the county Of Quay have shown their
ability to do the work of the Ninth

Representative Henry Swan. who
represented Quay county in the 2nd
State Legislature, has been secured
to give the chief address of the even

old CITIZEN
PASSES AWAY

Another one Of our oldest and most
respected citizens passed away last
Saturday afternoon after long and
Cawlfeld, who was known to every
person in town perhaps becaus Of
the fact that he lived for years AT g.,
foot Of the mountain and was = ho
to everyone who chanced TO 20 out
there to spend the day.
Mrs. Cawlfield passed away about n
year ago and was taken back TO her
former home in Texas for burial.
Since the death Of his wife Mr.. Cawl
field resided on the home place and
last year rented an adjoining farm
where he raised a big crop of feed
last season. He had rented this same
place for this year but was suddenly
taken sick about three months ago
and was partially paralyzed. II was
thought then that he could not live
long but he seemed TO rally and at
times seemed to grow stronger, but
last Friday he grew weaker and Sat
urday afternoon he gave up the fight
and is now sleeping in peace in the
world where no disease will cause him
the pain and sufferings he has exper-
fenced during his recent fatal illness.
The body was prepared for ship
ment and left here Monday morning
for his former home in Texas where
the funeral services were held and the
burial made beside his wife.
The trip TO the mountain will seem
a different one and when we return
to the base of old Tucumcari we will
not have any body to give US a drink
or cut a nice big watermelon with
which to quench our thirst and offer
us chair in the shade of most hos
pitable home. The boys will miss
the watermelon treats often given TO
them and we feel his loss more be-
cause he believed in this country and
did his part to show to the world that
with little work and energy q man
could raise crop no matter whether
1t rained regularly or not.
The world is always poorer when a
man like Mr.. Cawlfield is called away
because il is hard TO fill the vacancy
made thereby, but rather than see him
suffer as he has suffered for the past
few weeks we are glad death came
TO relieve him Of this pain.

MONDAY SALES A SUCCESS

The Monday sales were satisfactory
to all concerned and Mr.. Hunter in
tends to continue same as long as the
merchants will support it. Many sales
were made and many bargains turn
ed loose. 1t is hoped to interest the
farming so that they will bring in
stock and implements or anything
they do not need and let the auction
eer sell it for them and thus make
two people happy, one by obtaining
money for something he does not need
while the other obtains something he
needs for small amount of money.

Wedding Arrangement Was
Only a Judgment Note

The marital agreement that Mary
Mravic and Mile Gladic, Steeltonians,
signed some months ago wasn't an
agreement to wed at all, Mile says he
has since discovered; it was a judge
exemption note. He got the tip when
notice was served upon him that Mary
had obtained judgment against his
property. That fact developed to-day
when Mile asked Judge Henrys per-
mission to open the judgment and be
allowed to make a defense. The pc
tition was. made returnable in ten
days.
A little matter ofs$S00 is involved.
Mary lived with Mile. it appears, as
his housekeeper. Both were married
and both took steps to obtain a
divorce. They arranged an agreement
through Spiridon Fursich and through
an attorney, who. the petitioner says,
was Recorder o. G. Wickersham, by
which they would wed as soon as the
divorces were obtained. AS marriage
portion Mary was to give $500 to her
prospective husband. This she did, it
appears, whereupon he signed a paper
which he thought was the marital
agreement. Later he learned 1t was
an exemption note. The pair have
not yet married.

Buffalo Branch Business
Shows Large Earnings

The Buffalo and Susquehanna Rail-
road Corporation reports for the first
seven months of the current year net
earnings of $70,743, an increase of
$49,604. The surplus available for
dividends was SI09,372. an increase of
$S1,SS3. Bankers interested in the
property say that with the improve
ment in the bituminous coal trade
the road should be able to make an
excellent showing for the remaining
months of the year. The company
Is understood to have a large amount
of mined coal. WHICH it probably will
be able to market at good prices
Those familiar with the company's
operations look for earnings con-
siderably in excess of the interest
charges and preferred dividend re-
quirements. -
