EUROPEAN FARMS
WELL MANAGED
Scarcity Of Land Makes It Neces
sary to Get Maximum Yield
From Farms.

People who travelled in Europe tell
us that the way in which farm land
is utilized there as compared to AM
erica, is simply marvellous. 1ntensl-
fed farming some people call it. There
the price of land is so high that to
make any money at all per acre, there
must be no waste land and no idle
land.
Thirty to forty bushels of wheat per
acre is no uncommon yield on some
lands in Europe that have been farm
ed for generations.
One thing that amaZes American
tourists is the vast amount OF unused
land in Northwestern farms. Many a
farm is only a half under cultivation
and in far to many instances that half
is not producing anything like what
it should and could produce per acre.
There may be several reasons for
this but we often wonder when we see
the buildings on some farms whether
the regular daily chores don't take so
much time that there isn't enough
time left to give the land the atteH-
ton it should have.
deficiency" Is Keynote.
In these days of high priced land
with prices continually climbing
with grain prices at an unusually high
level and with a big demand for hogs,
cattle, cream, chickens and eggs at
very profitable prices, it would seem

ity believe is a relic Of the cargo of
a ship wrecked there in 1856.
Wine island derived its name from
this occurrence. The chip, SO the
story goes, carried a cargo of wine
from France and was blown ashore
and wrecked on this bit Of land, which
then became known as Wine Island.
The bottle contained what appears
to be one-third of its original con.
tents. OF course it is in a bad state,
although retaining to some extent the
color of wine.
The cork stopper was intact, but
there were no paper or metal labels,
these having been washed or eaten of
by the action Of the water. The bot.
tile was buried in the sand, but be-
came exposed partly by the wave wash
and then was dug up by the discov.

SAW "0LD NICK" IN ENGINES
Indians Tried to Stop the First Train
Run Near the Agency in
Oklahoma.

Watonga, Okla.-Bart Mullenhoh,
an Indian trader of Darlington, tells
an interesting story of one Of the
first trains to run over the tracks near
the agency. The laying OF the rails
was a wonderment to the Indians.
All day they would watch the steel
being linked together. At last the
track was completed and trains placed
In motion. At first the Indians would
not approach within two miles OF the
engines, for they believed the en-.
gines to possess the spirit Of the
devil. .-.r IN ri,s
Their ideas of the devil had been
gained from the description given by
the missionaries. After awhile their
fears abated a little. The Indians
discovered the iron monsters could
not leave the track made by the white
men.
The Indians secured ropes and
stretched them across the tracks, the
ropes being tied to trees on each side
of the right of way. C%oncealing them:
selves in the brush, the Indians wait
ed to see the iron horse stopped by
their ropes.
A passenger train came speeding
southwark and snapped the ropes as
though they twine. The Indians,
beholding this great strength, fed in
terror, and it was a great while be-
fore they were convinced that the
invader was not the cid Nick himself

BERCULOSIS NEAR AN END

Philadelphia, Sept. 25.--Physicians

closing session of the seventh annual
meeting of the American Association
of Clinical Research ut the Hahneman
medical college that the cure evolved

Colo, retiring president Of the asso-
citation Is one that in ten years ought
TO place tuberculosis among the rel
atively non-fatal diseases.
DIR. Gibson mentioned the cure in
his address opening the meeting on
Thursday and described ii in detail in
paper at today's session. IL pro-
vides u cure by adding X-rays. ozone
and static electricity to the climatic
and dietetic treatment now common in
tuberculosis hospitals. BY this meth

ease can be detected in healthy, ro-
bust persons even before the we'll de-
fined symptoms begin to form, and
cures can he affected in advanced cases
in remarkably short time.
In his paper today DR.. Gibson said (:
1T might seem that have allowed
my enthusiasm to run away with me
in studying this cure, but think "a
feeling Of qualification, at least. is
justified when ] say that out Of 757
cases thus treated, there have been
only 81 deaths. wish to state now
with emphasis that the X-Ray will fin
ally bring about the emancipation Of
the human race from this dreadful
scourge. In "A few years when the
method is better developed, il will he
a disgrace for a physician to allow a
case of tuberculosis Of any kind to
progress to an advance stage, because

SCHOOLS DOING NICELY

Supt. Pack reports the schools OF
the county doing nicely and expects
the largest attendance ever known in
the county. The enumeration has in
creased 269 over that Of last year.
This year the whole number Of pupils
in the county of school age is 384S,
Tucumcari made a gain of 81, now
having 965 instead Of oil. This shows
this prosperous city to be holding her
own while she is handicapped from
rapid growth by the war in Old Mex
leo, which decreases the business on
the railroads running into the city.
Nara Visa has 1876 children Of school
age; Logan 9s; Quay and House n
each; Rama rs and Montoya 90. Other
districts in the county have made sub
stantial gain as very few new districts
have been formed
II was suggested by one Of the OFF,
cials that we state the fact that Rama
is wholly a Democratic stronghold
and not for Roosevelt as the enumer-
alton would indicate,
There are more boys than girls in
the county, there being 1866 males.
and 1892 females, Quay county is
large enough for more boys and girls
also more fathers and mothers and
her schools are second to none in the
world. The teachers are well paid
and well-trained for the work and a
move is now on foot to not allow any
teacher with third-grade certificate
to teach in the state.
There are l06 districts in the coun-
ty and the candidate who Is elected
to succeed Supt. Pack should be chosen
with care and not because of his polit-
ical color. There are number of
candidates spoken of and IL we would
keep the standard going upward the
best man is none too good TO fill the
position.
Nothing is Of more benefit to the
growing countries than good schools
and plenty of opportunity for the new
generation to be properly fitted 70
take the place of their parents and
continue the fight TO make America
the home Of thrift and progress.

cial number of dead in Mondays eN.
plosion of tank car containing 5000
gallons of gasoline, was given at 10
u. m. today at SO. OF this number 33
were white and 10 negroes.

eral of the 200 persons injured will sue
cumb, making n probable death list of
three score.
Investigation Of the cause of the
disaster was started by the city Off
cials today. II is supposed that lit
tie spark from the hammer Of work
man repairing the car ignited the
gasoline.
Eye witnesses said flames shot into
the air for a distance of 200 feet i'm
mediately preceding the explosion and
il scattered the flaming liquids for
blocks, this starting scores of fires in
the buildings wrecked by the concus-
sion.
Most OF the persons killed were
crushed under falling walls, some Of
them more than block away from III.
scene Of the explosion.

martial law, while business was sus.
pended to permit the work of rescue
to proceed with greater speed.

TUCUMCAII WILL ENTERTAIN
\ REAL BIG CIRCUS OCT 2l

General contracting agent Murray
\. Pennock Of the Al. G. Barnes Wild
Animal Circus. was here last Monday
arranging for the appearance Of the
Barnes Show in Tucumcari, on Thur,
day, Oct. 81.
Wherein does the wild animal cir
Gus differ from the old-time regula-
tion circus was asked?"
THE Barnes circus is different be-
cause the entire entertainment offer
ed is given by trained animals-large-
ly wild animals" replied Mr.. Pennocs
"Al. G. Barnes, the wild animal
training wizard and proprietor of the
Barnes shows, was the originator OF
the Wild animal circus. launching the
innovation nine years ago. That the
new amusement idea met with appro-
val from the public IL attested by the
fact his circus now ranks as the larg-
est animal show in the world"
"For thirty-fve years, Mr.. Barnes
has been trainer of wild animals,
and early in his career decided that
the public would welcome an exclusive
clean wholesome entertainment given
by educated animals and to that pur-
pose he bent his efforts. Every one
Of the 600 acting animals now with
this great show has been trained un-
der his personal supervision--the
greatest number assembled in one col
lection"
big thrilling, sensational wild an
imal features predominate on the pro-
gram-lions, tigers, leopards, jaguars
pumas and bears being shown in great
groups. Twenty-four African lions
appear in the arena at one time un-
der one trainers direction. Elephants
camels, zebras, seals, sea lions. kan
garoos, dogs, goats, monkeys and a
troupe of $50 beautiful horses and
ponies are part Of this animal-ac
ing aggregation"
"A many sided man, is our Mr.. Al.
Barnes. He fondles the lions, tigers
and bears and they answer his call as
that of friend. When they become
unruly or "go bad" Barnes becomes
the trainer and reduces the beasts
to state of tractibility again. He
is known as the only circus owner in
the world who can work any act in
the show. Horses are his particular
hobby, and with his show can be seen
some Of the finest bred and best train.
