A NEW NATIONAL HABIT

1t is trite saying that we are en-
tering new stage Of national life,
a period when socialized democracy
is taking the place of individualistic
democracy.
This is only way of saying in big
words that people are coming to see
that there must be better team work
by all for the good of ALL II means
that new national habit is demand
ed, the habit Of working together.
With the coming Of this new era,
which is fact whether stated in big
or little words, there comes an IN
creased need for training in team
work. Grown-ups pull for the COM
monhood only as they have as chill
dren pulled together in team games
for a common success.
The playground then becomes not
only present necessity to keep
children off the street now, but also
a training school for the socialized
democracy or the larger team play
of the futile.

SAYS NEW MEXICO IS
BETTER THAN MISSOURI

Will Vance returned last week
from months business trip to Mis-
souri,. Mr.. Vance said that while
there were good crops raised in that
part Of the state he visited. farmers
have not made anything because
land rents are SO high. $6 to $40
per acre rents are not unusual.
Mr.. Vance, who has large ac-
quaintance in Missouri, says that a
great many of the Missourians
would like to get out into the west
somewhere and buy farms of their
own, but are afraid they will
starve to death if they get away
from home. He says that he knows
farmers who could come out here
and get rich. where they are barely
making living in their home state.
Mr.. Vance is possibly the largest
wheat farmer in New Mexico and
has made lots of money farming here.
This year he and his brothers grew
over 10, 900 bushels of grain on their
farms near McAlister and they are
figuring on having a thousand acres
in wheat this year. Melrose Dairy

man, Mr.. ID. j. FineRan. With this
committee met the chairman Of a
similar committee from the Elks
Lodge.
After going over the general situ-
alton, it was decided that conditions
warranted an effort to collect all the
outgrown clothes of children and
any other clothing that grown per-
sons might be inclined to give to aid
the needy.
Each citizen in Tucumcari Is invit-
ed TO collect what clothes or bedding
he may care to donate, on next Sat-
urday morning, and place same In
conspicuous place near the front
door where it can be seen from the
sidewalk. At about two o'clock
next Saturday afternoon a number
of Elks will take their autos and
drive up and down the streets. and
with the help Of the high school boys
will collect all that is offered.
While anything that will bring
comfort to the cold and hungry will
be accepted with thanks, there is a
particular need for clothes for chill
dren less than twelve years Of age,
or the material from which TO make
such clothes.
1t is believed that this campaign
will result in giving those who are
trying to relieve distress enough ma
terial TO supply the demand this sea-
sor. While the school children and
some others donated considerable
last fall, this plan will reach those
who have not yet had an opportuni-
ty to assist in this work.

CITY QUIET

The police department reports the
city quiet, but a close watch is being
kept on certain parties who are
known as suspicious characters.
These fellows seem to wear good
clothes, eat three meals day, attend
shows and live well in general, but
never work. This class Of citizen
ship often does many things which
the hobos are given credit of doing.

PosTOFFIcE DOES BIG
BUSINESS DURING DEC.

The local postofiice has had an ex-
ira big business during the past two
months and especially during the
holiday season. In the parcel post
department this office registered a
big gain of 40 per cent over that of
any previous year. The postmaster,
Mr.. Wharton, and his able assistants
handled this enormous business
with accuracy and despatch. The
boys worked overtime when neces-
sary to do the work and kept the
mail moving.
Tucumcari's postoffice is said to
be the best regulated and operated
of any in the state. There are more
boxes sold here for use than any
town its size and the rules govern
ing the cash in advance for rentals
is strictly adhered to. Strangers are
surprised to see a postoffice with
something near a thousand boxes
and most Of them are in constant
use.
When the office was moved to its
present location about two years ago
new boxes with combination locks
were installed and the boxes are
kept closed thus guarding against
theft and loss of mail. Little room
is left for complaint at the service
rendered by the office force.

kEYMOTETO GOVERNORS
MESSAGE IS ECONOMY
AND EFFICIENCY

Santa Fe, Jan. l3. Governor Will
liam c. McDonald's message to the
second New Mexico legislature was
presented at joint session Of the
house and senate today. The mes
sage dealt with numerous matters
pertaining to the conduct Of govern
ment affairs In the state and recon-
mends large amount Of legislation.
The question Of standardizing sala-
ries Of county officers and matters
pertaining to property assessment
and taxation are discussed at length.
Economy and efficiency in state gov
ernment is strongly urged in the
opening statements, which are de-
voted TO summary of the present
financial condition Of the state.
Governor Mcdonald points TO the
rapid growth Of public schools of
New Mexico and urges such Iegisla-
ton as is needed TO strengthen and
extend the system. He reiterates
his suggestion in former message
that board Of regents be created
to supervise and control all state ed
ucational institutions. Close inspec-
ton Of the state pcritentiary; a bet
ter reform school for boys, with an
industrial school in connection there
with; an increased appropriation for
the state asylum for the insane and
the establishment Of an institution
for desinquent girls and also the
care of defective and feeble minded
is urged. Safe institutions, other
than educational Is urged, the gov
ernor believes, should likewise be
placed under the management of one
board.
Upon the matter of state banks,
the governor urges the enactment
Of bill providing safety and Sc
curity Of both investors and deposit
ors." The enactment of a law re-
curing that any public improve
ments exceeding $500 in value be
made by contract to the lowest bid
der is recommended.
Discussing the liquor question the
message says:
The evils Of the liquor traffic as
1t is now conducted are too apparent
to need much argument to convince
most people that our laws should he
better enforced, and that other re-
strictions and regulations be provid-
ed for controlling this traffic. We
ought to have law forbidding and
prohibiting the sale "f intoxicating
liquors to any villsS. ? community
of less than three hundred popula-
tion, the boundaries Of such village
or community being limited to one
mile square. No more than one sa-
loon should be licensed in a village
or community not having a popula-
ton Of more than five hundred, no
more than one license should be
granted for each seven hundred and
fifty people above the first five hun
dred.

governor advocates the adoption of
modified form Of the Australian

On Friday evening Of this week
there will be two interesting games
Of basketball at the opera house.
The first game is the second girls
game in the Clio and Klassic Klan
inter-society series, and should prove
interesting from the sound of the
first whistle until the close Of the
game. All former members Of these
societies are urged to come out and
root for their favorite team.
The second game will no doubt be
the best boys game played in the
opera house this year. The high
school boys are working hard so that
they will be in condition to defeat
the aggressive Santa Rosa team on
January 20. The game on January
l5 will be the last game with the
town boys before Santa Rosa comes
up with the avowed intention of
scalping the local boys.
On Friday evening January 20
there will be no picture show at the
opera house. The entire evening
will be given up to basketball. The
first game, Santa Rosa girls vs.. Tu-
cumcari High School girls will begin
promptly at 7:45. Those who saw
the game at Santa Rosa know that
this will be the hardest fought game
of girls basketball ever played in
Tucumcari. The score at Santa
Rosa was IL to IA in favor of Tucum-
carl, and the local girls are deter
mined to win the coming game by q
wider margin.
The game between the Santa Rosa
boys and Tucumcari boys will be
even more hotly contested than the
girls game. It is impossible for
teams to be more evenly matched
than these two teams were at Santa
Rosa. The score was tied six diff
ferent times during the game. and
the local boys won by a margin of
one point. The score at the end of
the game stood: Santa Rosa %, Tu-
cumcari 25. Our boys are working
hard and look forward to the coming
game with confidence. However.
they need hearty support, Come
out and give it to them.
The Santa Rosa boys and girls are
to be the guests of Tucumcari on
Friday, Jan. 20. How will Tucum-
carl treat them? This is not school
proposition alone. The entire city
should be interested. Show them
you are glad TO have them as guests.
When the Tucumcari teams went
TO Santa Rosa, the business men in
cases even closed their stores to take
the visitors for an auto ride. They
came out to see the game and. In
fact, were tie jolly hosts to the visi-
tors. We do not expect the mer-
chants to discommode themselves to
the extent of closing their stores.
but we would appreciate II IL you
would lend US your hearty support
and cooperate with the school to
show to Santa Rosa that we can en-
tertain as royalty as they.

TWO FIRES

Two fire alarms have been sounded
during the past week. The first was
for a dug-out at the rear of the Is
rael building. Early Wednesday
morning some weeds in the west
part of town caused the other. The
boys answered promptly, and moth
ing of consequence resulted from
either fire.

ELECTION MONDAY WAS
HOTLY CONTESTED.
A RECORD VOTE

Another election day HAS come and
gone and it can be said without pre-.
varicating that Monday was about
the warmest election ever held In the
city with the exception Of the Demo.
cratic primary which was held here
three years ago.
More than 4S5 voters registered and
the day was spent in real politics.
Autos were put into service bringing
in voters from the city and imme-
diate country who would have been
unable to have attended without this
assistance. The main contest was
between the present occupant
Of the Office Of justice Of the
peace, Sam'l II. McElroy, and we'll
known citizen in the person Of T. M.
Lockett. The race was hot and fu-
rious most of the day and at noon II
was thought that Mr.. Lockett was
leading his popular opponent by a
good margin. The report soon
spread around that Judge McElroy
was doomed to defeat and then his
friends who thought he had a walk
away got busy and began 10 do lit
tie missionary work. People were
voted who had not exercised their
rights for years with the result that
larger vote was polled Monday
than at any previous election ever
held in the city.
On account of the tickets being
separate a number Of mistakes were
made and several votes lost but ii
will be noticed that the vote for jus
tice Of the peace in which Judge Nc
Elroy received 269 and Mr.. Lockett
1873 which would total 1852 was some
what larger than that of the vote
cast for Fred White who received 335
and John Akin who received l20
which would total but 455.
New workers were noticed among
the Spanish and II was interesting TO
watch some Of the new politicians
work. Very few votes were passed
by that were within range Of the
polls and the judges and clerks were
allowed breathing spell very sell
dom, having their dinner and supper
served to them at the room. The
count was made after supper and it
took over two hours TO cast up the
results of this election.
One noticeable feature was the
friendliness shown each other by the
contestants. II was not uncommon
to see them chatting and joshing
each other in regards to the outcome
what they would do to each other il
they were elected. The standing Of
fer for votes was 81 in the morning
but this was raised to IS in the af.
ternoon which the candidates said
they would pay at seven o'clock in
the morning If they could be found.
This manner Of joking was kept up
all day but whenever a vote was in
sight a friendly handshake and have
q ticket" was usually extended to
those freuuent callers.
This election shows that the pres
ent officials are upheld in most of
their past work and desire a con-
tinuance of the strict enforcement
of the laws of the state and county
as laid down in the constitution and
while we recognize that no man is
perfect we can only say to those Of
iicials, do your best and the people
will stand back of you"
