BOOST FOR
HOME FAIR

The success of the Estancis
Valley Fair is now up to the
farmers of the adjacent territory
and judging by reports coming
in, the farmers will be here with
the goods. A number of our
people are planning and prepar-
ing exhibits, the ladies not being
one whit behind. And some of
our best farmers are ladies'.
The finance committee has got
ten busy and is meeting with
success, which means a good
premium list. 1t is hoped to
have this list ready for publica-
ton by another week, so the ex-
hibitors may be informed as to
what they may expect along this
line. This is a matter in which
every business man in the county
should be interested. Each
should count it a privilege to
give something to one of the
fairs or exhibits, either at Es-
tancia, Willard or Moriarty. For
these fairs will not only adver-
tise Torrance County from here,
but will help US to pull down the
big prizes at the State Fair.
The dates are October 7 and 8,
Thursday and Friday. While
not definitely arranged it is
probable that the exhibit will be
packed into wagons and started
for Albuquerque on Saturday
morning, October 8. This mat
ter is up to County Agent Har-
we'll, who has charge of the ex-
hibit at the State Fair.
A mass meeting is called by
President Stubb)efield for to-
morrow (Friday) night at Mr..
Harwell's office, to consider fur
ther details of Fair work. The
finance committee will make its
report at this time. Everyone
in the success of the
venture should make it a point
to be present at eight o'clock
sharp.

Methodist Parsonage

Rev. R. E. Farley, who has
been at the bedside of his wife
in Chavez county for some
weeks, was in Estancia Sunday,
filling the pulpit both morning
and evening. He reports Mrs,
Farley as improving, which news
will be welcomed by her friends
here. Mr.. Farley brought good
news for the local Methodist
church from Bishop Mcconnell
and Superintendent Bright in
that they propose to divide the
Mountainair and Estancia circuit,
placing one pastor at Mountain
air to work along the Cutoff
from Mountainair east, and an
other at Estancia to work along
the Central, Including Mcintosh,
Estancia and Cedarvale. In or
der to do this, a parsonage will
be necessary at this point, for
which purpose DIR. Bright offers
to secure $100 in cash. The Of
fetal members of the local
church have started in to pro
vide a home for the new pastor
and at present. the outlook is
that their efforts will be success
full. So mote it be!

$50 ACRES OF
GOOD FR|J0LES

H. L. Matthews has ordered
an Owens Double Cylinder Bean
Thresher, which he will use in
threshing his monster crop of
beans this year.. He has one
hundred and fifty acres in fri
joles, which he estimates will
average about 700 pounds per
acre. He figured that he had
rather put the money into a
thresher of his own, rather than
pay someone else for doing the
work and have no thresher in
the end, as the threshing of 100,-
600 pounds of beans would net a
neat sum in itself.
Last year Mr.. Matthews had
only fifty acres in beans, but
they averaged $40 pounds per
acre, bringing him 40,500
pounds. Last year he purchased
a Ford and made a trip through
western New Mexico and Arizo-
ma and disposed of his beans at
good prices, cutting out the mid
dleman. We surmise when he
disposes Of this years crop his
Ford will not be big enough for
him any more.

The STATE FAIR

| on the fair grounds at Albuque Ell
que making it ready for the big
gest event ever held in New
! Mexico, the 35th state fair. Th
fences are being moved to in
clude four city blocks of grounds
to make room for the sixteen bis
exhibit halls that will be neces
! sary to take care of the displays
The contractor in charge Of
the job built the halls for the Ir.
rigation Congress and he de-
clares that the plans now in his
hands call for greater exposl-
ton than was held at that time,
The display advertisement car
ried in this edition tells of the
exhibits to be housed and a
glance at the same will show
that the fair management is on
the job.
The fair. premium books are
off the press and copy of the
same may be had by addressing
the secretary. The book car
ries $4,000 in premiums, more
than has ever been offered at a
a State Fair in New Mexico be-
fore. Two departments have
been added and others have been
enlarged.
Of particular interest in the
premium book is the outline OF
the official program for each day
of the fair. While these pro-
grams are subject to change
somewhat, the features outlined
will be seen every afternoon and
evening on the grounds. One
cannot read of each days dolngs
without reaching the conclusion
that the amusement and enter
tainment provided for the fair
visitors is more varied and OF
higher class than anything OF
the sort ever seen in the state.
The fair management has prom
ised to have something doing
every minute, and from the ap-
oearance of the program it seems
hat the promise will be amply
redeemed. Some of the very
pest amusements to be seen and
heard do not appear on the pro-
gram, as they have been con
;racted for since the book was
tent to press.
All street carnival features
lave been eliminated this year
md the entire fair will be on the
air grounds, including shows,
rec acts, amusements and con-
.essions. The streets of Albu-
,uerque and the buildings will
,e beautifully decorated and will
lot be Uttered and obstructed by {
heap shows.
Special trains are to be run to
he fair from various sections OF
he state, Colorado, Arizona and
'exas. At the station an infor-
nation bureau will be established ,
" the fair office to direct visitors
o hotels and rooming houses,

will prevail on all roads for the t
Isual trains and the specials. l

arge visiting delegations with a {
,rass band and a big reception
0mnltISe. is
The night program at the fair
will be especially attractive
This is an experiment with the
air this year and a large sum OF
money has been spent for enter
aiming the night crowds. Thou
ands of dollars have been in
,ested in the fireworks alone
which will be the same as those
shown at the largest state fairs
n the country. Among the
features of these displays are
such events as the battle of the
Oardenelles and an aerial en-.
yagement between Zeppelins and

Anxiety ate like an acid at Alan's
heart II this shift to the sea might
be thought a desperate venture, he
was weathered saltwater man and
undismayed.
But when he re-entered the hotel
one surprising thing happened that
gave him new heart-momentarily II
seemed almost as II his luck had
turned. For, as he paused by the desk
of the cashier to demand his bill, the
elevator gate opened and Rose came
out eagerly TO meet him with an eager
air Of hope that masked measurably
the signs of fatigue.

But she seemed unable to echo his

heaviness OF her spirits when their
cab, without misadventure, set them
down at the wharf.

cial point OF danger-if the influence

self most warlly as he helped the girl
from the car and to the gangplank Of
the Seaventure. But nothing hap
pened; while Mr.. Barcus was as good
as his word. Alan had barely set foot
on deck, following the girl, when the
gangplank came aboard with a clatter,
and the Seaventure swung away from
the wharf.
Until the distance was too great for
even flying leap Alan fingered watch
fully on deck.
At length, satisfied that all was we'll,
he returned to the cabin.
"All right" he nodded; we're clear
of that lot, apparently; nobody but the

SYRUP OF FIGS FOR
A CH|LD'S BOWELS
It is cruel to force nauseating,
harsh physic into a
sick child.


Look back at your childhood days.
Remember the dose" mother insisted
on castor oil, calomel, cathartics.
How you hated them, how you fought
against taking them.
With our children it's different.
Mothers who cling to the old form of
physic simply don't realize what they
do. The children's revolt is well-found-
ed. Their tender little ''insides" are
injured by them.
If your child's stomach, liver and
bowels need cleansing, give only deli
cious California Syrup of Figs" It's
action is positive, but gentle. Millions
of mothers keep this harmless fruit
laxative" handy; they know children
love to take it; that it never fails to
clean the liver and bowels and sweet
en- the stomach, and that a teaspoonful
given today saves a sick child tomor-
row.
Ask at the store for 50-cent bottle
of California Syrup of Figs" which
has full directions for babies, children
of all ages and for grown-ups plainly
on each bottle. Adv.

ForeWarned.

Forewarned.
The thing was managed with an In
genuity that Alan termed devilish-it
was indisputably Machiavellian.
The lovers had come down from the
North in hot haste and the shadow OF
death Two days OF steady travelling
by canoe. by woods trail, by lake
steamer-forty-eig hours Of fatigue
and strain eased by not one instant's
relaxation from the high tension OF
vigilance upon which their very lives
depended " wore to a elimination
through this tedious afternoon on the
train from Moosehead-a trap OF phys
zeal torment only made possible by
Alan's luck In securing, through sheer
kscident, two parlor-car reservations
turned back at the last moment be-
fore leaving Kineo station.
No matter-the longest afternoon
must have its evening.
AS If in answer to this thought, the
train slowed down with whistling
brakes to the last hill-station, and as
the trucks groaned and moved anew,
a lout of a boy came galloping down
the aisle, brandishing two yellow en-
velopes and blatting like stray calf:
"Mista Lawr! Mista Lawrl Tel.
grams for Mista Lawr!"
Alan had been expecting at every
station prepaid reply to his wire for
reservations on the night express from
Portland to New York.
But why two envelopes superscribed
'Mr. A. Law. Kineo train southbound,
Oakland Sta. 2"
He tore one open, unfolded the in.
closure. and grunted disgust with ite
curt advice, opened the other and
caught his breath sharply as he with
drew-part way only-a playing card
a trey of hearts.
Thrusting 1t back quickly, he clapped
both envelopes together, tore them
into a hundred fragments, and scat
tered them from the window. But
