Ordinarily, the democratic party
waits until the republican party has
held its national convention, written
its platform and named its candidates
before it proceeds to follow suit. The
suggestion has been made in Wash
;ngton, however, and probably will
be carried out, that the democrats,
representing the party in power, hold
their convention first. This will not
be difficult for them to arrange, If
they wish, for at the meeting this
week, the national committee can ar
range its plans to suit the majority of
members. The republicans meet
week from today and it is reported

assisted by Judge Harreld acting as
the irate father and Bob Bullock,
Bob Gardenhire, Guy Price and Edgar
Payne playing the villains. In addi-
tion there will be other people you
know in minor parts.
The play, naturally, begins with a
love scene. The young man loves a
young lady. They become engaged,
with the understanding that father
is to be consulted. Father refuses
to give his consent. The couple are
determined to win the fathers con
sent in some way, and when the
tramps are caught red-handed in their
villainous work by the hero. oh JOY
an idea, The next day the father
and daughter go for an automobile
ride. AS per previous arrangement
the tramps pounce upon the automo-
bile party, leave father helpless along
the roadside and kidnap the daughter.
AS luck would have it-previously ar
ranged also,-the lover happens by
and rescues father. 1t is then learn
ed that the daughter has been placed
in a building, which is set afire. Faith
er and lover rush to the scene and
there, in the topmost story, franti-
cally calling for help, and desiring to
be saved from the seething flames,
(smoke pots) is the daughter. The
lover, of course, is equal to the oc-
casion, performs the rescue, and
thereby receives fathers consent and
blessing.

A. S. POTTER DIES

A. 5. Potter, one of Tucumcari's old
est citizens, passed away last Saturday
night after short illness from pneu-
monia. Mr.. Potter was 10 years of
age and his health was not the best
when sometime the first of last week
he was taken sick with pneumonia. He
was given the best of care but this
dread disease claimed another victim
and took another husband, leaving one
more sorrowing widow and many old
time friends to mourn the loss.
The funeral was conducted from the
residence Sunday afternoon after a
short but appropriate sermon by Rev.
o. w. Hearn, after which the remains
were conducted To the Sunnyside ceme-
etery where they were laid to rest.
We did not receive any obituary of
Mr.. Potter thus we cannot give his
former residence but he has been In
Tucumcari for n number Of years and
ut one time owned considerable prop
erty but had disposed of most of it
as his health did not allow him TO care
for 1t properly. His wife still survives
and will continue to live on the home
place on South Second street for a
time at least.

JOE GOSC|NSK| IS
SERIOUSLY INJURED
MAN WILL PROBABLY DIE FROM
INJURIES RECEIvED-NEw
EMPLOYE HERE

Joe Goscinski, a boiler helper, re-
ceived injuries Tuesday which will
probably prove fatal.
He was helping in the boiler rooms
on an engine with another man when
the big coal-passer, which weighs
1000 pounds or more, fell upon him
crushing him against the water tank.
II was removed as soon as possible
by fellow workmen and Mr.. Goscinski
hurriedly taken to the Tucumcari
Hospital where medical attention was
at once given, but no operation has
yet been made on account of the con-
dition of the patient.
He received internal injuries and
a number Of bad fractures. He says
he does not know exactly how the ac-
cident happened. The coal-passer was
suspended by block and tackle and
in some way came loose, il is thought,
letting the heavy passer fall on the
young man with the above results.
Mr.. Goscinski has been in Tucum-
carl only a short time and was not
well known. He is 81 years of age
and n foreigner by birth. II is sin
cerely hoped he will be able to re-
cover but II is thought he cannot sur
vive.

SCHOOL EPIDEMICS

Science now tells us that the most
dangerous time for the spreading of
some of the infectious diseases is just
before the child feels that he is Ill;
that is, when he begins to feel lit
tie sore throat and has discharge
from the nose. At this time the germs
are most numerous and most active.
The modern method OF handling an
epidemic places the burden of respon-
sibility upon the school nurse or school
physician. There is much less danger
of spreading the disease with the chill
dren under supervision in the school
room than when they are running at
will in the streets. By careful exam
ination the school nurse can recognize
the approach of the disease much ear
lier than can the parents. During
epidemcs it is wise to keep children
away from Sunday school and moving
picture shows. but in general IL is
much safer TO keep them in day school
under the supervision of physicians
or nurse inspectors.-From the Nurse.

RAILROADS KICK AT BEING

Santa Fe, N. NJ, Nov. 20.-The

ROCK ISLAND SHOWS AN IN.
CREASE IN REVENUE ES

New York, Nov. 1.-THE report of
the Chicago. Rock Island and Pacific

now under receivership, for the year
ended June 30 last shows total oper-
ating revenues Of S70,947 800, and in
crease of 3.3 per cent; operating ex-
penses Of S53,52l.6l5, in increase Of

nues of Si7,426,274, an increase Of 2.3
per cent. Balance of income in 1919
Ia amounting to $3.50, ,62l was changed
to n balance deficit Of S734,676 last
year.
Since the receivership payments Of
interest on the bonds and notes of va
rious underlying properties, amount
ing to about 100000 have been dis
continued, in addition to which about
100000 have been saved in salaries of
general officers and expenses Of the
New York Office.
The receiver has written of as
worthless approximately Sl,300,00 of
preferred and common shares of the
Peaoria Railway Terminal Company,

pany and the Union Terminal COM
pany Of st. Joseph. Other securities

BELIEVE IN THE MOON

The moon plays an important part
in sign telling. All kinds of weather
hang on the changes of the moon. As
n matter of fact, you and rather like
to see the new moon over the right
shoulder. To be sure, we have no
faith in the baleful influence of this
sign. Still, il Is just as well to be
cautious about offending her ladyship
Farmers study the shape of the new
moon to determine IL the month Is to
be wet or dry. The Indians used to
say that if you could hang "a powder
horn on the curve of the new moon
the month would be generally pleas
ant. A circle about the moon means
a storm approaching. The number Of
stars within the circle tell the num-
ber of days which will elapse before
the storm begins. Farmers tell about
planting corn in the old Of the moon
