PUSH. But DON'T SHOVE.

Push your town along, but don't shove it
off the map,
Work for it, and not against it.
You may think that your detection is but
a single instance and will have no injurious
effect, but you are wrong. - 1872 :
If you are anything but a numbskull there
are others who are always ready to follow
your lead, even though it results: in the
wlecking of your own home town.
You can't keep your questionable. acts
under cover. They are bound to creep
out, and once in the open they breed like
mosquitoes in swamp.
And you can't kick your home town
without breaking your own toe.
Pushing is good thing---but showing is
not 50 good. !.
You can push your town along BY en-
couraging home industries ss4stt ~ ), S'+'
You can push it alorg bv producing to
the limit and keeping the profits At home.
You can push it along by being of it as
well as in it. and remembering that every
dollar you keep in the town is Just that
much additional property for the town and
for you.
The home merchant knows you,~is your
friend, and wants to see vow succeed,
The mail order man Doesn't know you,
don't care rap about you, and never want

Push your town along, brother, but don I
shove it off the map.

THE PRESIDENT READY TO
SHAPE REPLY TO KAISER

Cornish, n. H., July Hills views
on the German situation in tentative
shape, President Wilson tonight be-
gan making preparations for his de-
parture for Washington in order to
take up with Secretary Lansing and
other members of his cabinet the next
step in the American policy toward
submarine warfare.
There were indications here that
the president does not expect To DELAY
long in notifying Germany of the posi-
ton OF the United States. Members
of his cabinet are expected to be
unanimously back of his position TO
assert the rights of Americans to "the
freedom of the seas" and therefore
only the details of the next step re-
main to he finally determined upon.
The German situation will be gone
over in general way at Tuesdays
i2binet meeting and final decision
Is expected to be reached at the next
cabinet meeting on Friday.
The president will leave here pre-
pared to take up IA number of import
ant questions soon after reaching
Washington. He will select n success
sor to Mr.. Lansing as counsellor of
the state department, go fully into the
Mexican problem, and take up with
Mr.. Lansing the projected protest
against interference by Great Britain
with commerce between the United
States and other neutral nations.
During his three weeks visit here
in the Cornish hills, Mr.. Wilson's
health has improved and he has gain
cd several pounds in weight. Mem
bers of his family will remain here
after his departure and he will return
later if possible.

AUTO ACCIDENT

Mrs. Albert Calisch of this city
rece'Yed very painful wound on the
fac in an auto shake up last Sunday.
The details are about as follows: The
kohn family were expecting an auto
party from Tucumcari to spend the
day with them, the personal of which
was Messers j. w. Corn, II. Fisher
and Misses Bonem and Morris, and
Messrs. Charles and George Kohn.
Stanley Calisch and Mrs. Calisch mo-
tored as far as Hanley to meet their
guests at which place Mrs. Calisch
became passenger in Mr.. Corn's car
and enroute from Hanley to Montoya
Mr.. Corn lost control momentarily
of his car and in the shake up Mrs.
Calisch was thrown against the
front seat, bruising her face badly
and cutting an ugly wound under her
eye. She bled profusely and her face
was soon swollen and discolored from
the bruise, She has been confined to
her room this week but is rapidly re-
covering. None of the other occu-
pants of the car were hurt. Mr.. Corn
is said TO be very careful driver but
was being urged to greater speed by
the "honk, honk," of Mr.. Kohn's car
behind him which caused him. no
doubt, to exceed the "speed limit" of
a rough road and eliminate with
the accident.-Montoya Republican.

JITNEY TURNEs TURTLE

The i!tney owned by Harman Me
Casland was overturned in the east
part of town near the residence Of
I. A. Wayne and its occupants es-
capped with only slight injuries. Bill
Burlington was driving the machine
and vas taking his brother, Ed, to
to the home Of their father. They
were accompanied by Allen Ridley
and it was said the car was running
at about 80 miles an hour when sud
den turn was attempted and the car
turned turtle, pinning Ridley and Bill
Burlington underneath. Ed Bulling-
ton had his left arm badly wrenched,
but succeeded in crawling out of the
wrecked car and liberating the other
two men.
Bill Burlington had bone broken
in his left leg and was otherwise
bruised up. Ridley escaped any bodily
injury but his white Panama suit suf-
fered severely and the neighbors say
his calls for help were clear and dis
tinct. The car continued running for
about five minutes and it was feared
the gasoline tank would explode but
other than mashing up the radiator,
stearing wheel, wind shield, top and
left tenders the car is in pretty good
condition, but will be out of service
indefinitely.

MAKES GOOD COLLECTIONS

Treasurer Lee G.. Pearson has about
finished the collection for the 1914 tax
and ii is thought il will run better
than % per cent of the whole amount.
This is very near perfect record be-
cause some of the taxes are not col
lectable for various reasons, some be-
ing double assessments, etc.
Tuesday was the first day of the
sale of property and about l5O certifi-
Gates were issued, most Of which were
to a Denver firm, who purchased 100
or more through their local agent, NJ.
B. keator. OF course this land may
be redeemed by the owners hut the
farming and grazing lands were sold
without delay. City property was not
so salable but parties are looking up
the various lots and parcels and il is
thought nearly every thing will soon
be sold.

NEW NOTE WILL NOT
THREATEN GERMANY
UNITED STATES WANTS PEACE
BUT GERMANY MUST COME
FULLY HALF WAY

Washington, ID. c., July 2l.-Secre-
tary Lansing was today perfecting the
note To be sent to Germany by the
United States on submarine warfare.
The character and purpose of the com
munication had been agreed upon at
Tuesdays cabinet meeting and all that
remained today was TO put it in shape
for transmission To Berlin.
The note will be firm, yet friendly,
in tone and will renew the efforts TO
secure for American citizens protec-
ton on the high seas,
Such information as was obtain
able concerning the nature of the new
note was chiefly of negative char.
acter. Cabinet officers made il clear
that it would not be an ultimatum
or make any threats as to the future
purpose of the United States.
AT the same time, they pointed out
that 1t would probably have an air OF
fnality, curtailing the field of discus
sion and negotiations and placing
squarely on Germany the responsible
ity for any actions which might sub.
sequently endanger the friendly rela.
tons Of the two countries.

MACHINERY BOUGHT AND
BUILDING WILL COMMENCE

Superintendent Mowry received two
letters from Mr.. Raymond, one from
Buffalo and one from Boston, in which
he stated that he had purchased the
machinery and all other arrangements
were made so that the building of the
new home for the factory will soon
he commenced. Mr.. Raymond said
he had been on the jump ever since
he left Tucumcari and is anxious To
have the wheels turning so that the
high prices now being paid for fibre
will assist him in paying for the re-
cent heavy loss incurred by the fire.
He sent an invoice sheet from the
different factories showing the ma
chinery burned or destroyed cost him
about $4,000 besides the immense
amount of freight and charges for the
installation in the building.
Bids are being received for the lay
ing Of adobe blocks and the putting
down Of solid cement floor which
will contain about $1,000 square feet
but Mr.. Raymond is determined TO
make the building as near fire-proof
as possible and while il may cost more
in the beginning he figures il will save
considerable in the end.
We hope TO give the public more
news concerning the factory in a short
time as Mr.. Raymond will soon re-
turn to Tucumcari and make con-
tracts FOR the buildings, etc.

FORD SET BROKEN LEG

The latest achievement of a Ford
was performed by the car recently
purchased by Fred White.
Harve Sample had a horse fall on
his leg and break it, so it was thought.
Fred was returning from his farm
and volunteered TO bring Harve in to
the hospital. Not being familiar with
the car he got the thing started and
could not slow it down, so he shot up
hill and down, over bumps and bitches
at terrific speed. The occupants Of
the car were tossed from one side to
the other, even up against the top.
When they reached town Harve's
leg was little sore but was complete
ly back in place and the services Of n
doctor were unnecessary. Pretty hard
treatment but it effected cure and
won another victory for the Ford.
Who knows but what Ford will revo-
lutionize surgery?
