DA|RY.FARM|NG IS
PROSPERITY ROUTE
MIR. STEINEL SAYS BIG CHANGE
HAS BEEN MADE ~ LAST
FEW YEARS HERE

Tucumcari and vicinity will be wide
ly advertised by the Rock Island in a
new pamphlet, material for which is
being gathered by Alvin T. Steinel,
General immigration Agent for the
company. who was here this week,
from Chicago. lie states that farming
conditions and methods had made re-
markable improvement since the com
pany's last descriptive pamphlet on
New Mexico was issued, several years
ago. At that time there was no dairy
farming in this section and new set
tiers depended largely upon the sale
of their grain.
"The fact that prosperity follows
the dairy cow" said Mr.. Steinel, "is
shown in the success Of your local
creamery, which. | am informed, is
shipping butter by the carload. Cash
for the farmer every week in the shape
of a cream check is what has built
up the finest farming sections in the
United States and il will build North
east New Mexico quicker and more
substantially than any other branch
Of farming.
New settlers will be attracted TO
this district because we can show
them how your crops are turned into
money. Bonanza wheat farming has
its attractions for men with fever
for speculation, hut section that re-
lies for prosperity solely on small
grains is doomed to experience Sc
ries of ups and downs. There is no
true success in the farming industry
unless il has livestock as founda-
tion. and the Tucumcari district is to
be congratulated upon having made
"a splendid start in this direction.
What you need now is more and
better dairy cows and more silos. You
have the feeds. the grass, the water
and the climate to make this one of the
best dairy centers in America"
kafr Market Expanding
In view Of the campaign being made
by the Agricultural Department of
the Rock Island lines for extension
Of the markets for the kafrs, readers
will be interested in the following
statement which appeared in recent
issue of the Chicago Herald.
Chicago is doing considerable bust
ness in ksfir-corn and milo maize. No.
and sample grade kafr sold in the
sample market yesterday at Sl.20, No.
milo at Sl.23 and No. mixed milo
at sl.20 per hundred pounds. A sale
of $4,000 bu. milo was made yester-
day TO go east by lake, the first bulk
shipment of milo by lake in the his
tory of this market"
II is encouraging to note that ef-
forts toward enlarging the market
for n grain that Is of vast Importance
10 this section are meeting with such
success Kansas City has been quot
ing Kafr for several years, but Chi
cago has paid little attention TO the
grain until this year. The Rock Is
land has been pushing the matter per-
sistently for five years, the latest
move being issuance of number Of
the Southwest Trail, devoted exclu-
sively to the marketing features and
10 the increase of the use of kafir as
a human food.

COMPLAINT DISMISSED BY
JUDGE POPE IN REED CASE

An order dismissing the plaintiffs
amended complaint, giving judgment
to the defendent for costs was enter
ed by U. S. District Judge William II
Pope this afternoon in the case Of Reed
VS.. Anderson, at al, over property To-
Gated near and in Tucumcari, and val
ued mt $4,000.
This is said To be the first case de-
cided in New Mexico involving the
question as To the right TO cancel u
contract to care for and support the
grantor, and is therefore Of unusual
interest.
II is also probably the only case in
the United States that holds il is i'm
material on what theory the court
cancels decd. In some states, say
attorneys, the theory is fraud, in 9TH
ers, want of consideration. and still
others. result trust; in few states
il is held that the promise is n cond,-
tion precedent. but in this case the
court practically holds that il is imma-
terial on what theory the court pro-
ceeds; the court will set it aside as it
does not appeal to the conscience of
the chancellor.
So much interest has been aroused
by this case, which has been in the
throes of litigation for the past five
years, that the lawyers Cooperative
Company has sent for the briefs in
the case and will publish the case in
the l.. X. A.
Messrs. Underwood, Kimball and
Cone. of Amarillo, Texas, represented
the plaintiff and Reed Holloman, Of
Santa Fe, the defendants.
The first suit was filed in 1910 by
Joseph Reed vs. Mary +. Reed TO set
aside deeds to his property valued
at $4,000. Reed declared that he had
decided to give his property to Mrs.
Reed, from whom he had been divorc-
ed on condition that she return from
California and nurse him through his
ILLNESS, He alleged that she did re-
turn from California, got the deeds
and then left him, going to the Pacific
coast. There was a verbal agreement,
he declared, between him and Mrs.
Reed that she was to nurse him.
Mr. Reed died in 1911. Subsequent
ly his sisters, Mrs. Anderson and Mrs.
Wilbur, the legatees under the will,
brought action to set aside the deeds.
The case was tried before District
Judge Lieb, who found for the plain
tiffs, Mrs. Anderson and Mrs. Wilbur.
Mrs. Reed thereupon appealed to the
state suspreme court. After reading
three briefs and listening to two oral
arguments. the supreme court affirm
ed the decision Of the lower court.
Undaunted, Mr.. Reed brought ac-
tion in the federal court to enjoin the
enforcement of the state courts de-
cree, alleging that judgment had been
procured by fraud.
A motion to strike for want of an
equity was filed by Mr.. Eioloman, and
sustained.
Mrs. Reed then filed an amended
complaint. A similar motion to strike
was made and sustained by the court.
Santa Fe New Mexican.
Mrs. Reed says the case will next
be taken TO the United States Su-
preme Court which will convene in
Denver soon where it will be decided
fully and for all time.

WAY TO PEACE OPENED UP

Washington, July 27.-The last note
to the imperial German government
the joint product of President Wilson
and Secretary of State Robert Lam
sing, has struck IL with the people
of the United States.
The nationwide newspaper comment
expressions from representative men
everywhere, and the stream of tele-
grams that began to pour into the ex-
ecutive Offices for transmission TO the
chief executive at his summer home,
leave no doubt as to the cordial, even
enthusiastic reception of the note.
The people were willing to trust
their president to do the right thing,
and they are saying now that they
have not trusted in vain.
The United States, by the terms of
the new note, has taken its stand de-
iinitely and finally. Germany must
now do the same thing. The answer
from Berlin may come through ST.
lence and acquiescence in the original
demand of the United States. II may
come in the form of "A public accept
ance of the position taken by our gov
ernment, or ii may seek to prolong
the controversy through correspond
ence.
or course nothing short of "the
silence and right conduct way" OF an
unqualified public acceptance of the
United States view will satisfy this
government. In writing the note the
president and his secretary of state
purposely employed language that
would enable the imperial German
government to satisfy the United
States by scrupulously respecting the
rights Of neutral from this time on.
