FAIR BOOSTERS

Wednesday our town was visited by
"a bunch of eight or ten of Tucumcari
boosters. They were representative
business men headed by II. II. Nc
Elroy, president of the fair associa-
tion, and were primarily out in the in
terest Of the Quay County Fair, and
secondary for their own pleasure and
profit. They called on most of our
business houses and visited the public
school. A number of the party had
their pockets filled with souvenirs
which soon established them in the
good graces of the children, and we
hope these Fair boosters will be able
to stir up such an interest that every
one will take hold and make the COM
ing Quay County Fair the best ever
held.-San Jon Times.

LUCK

Luck must be woman-because il
is fickle. Luck continues to knock at
the door after opportunity has passed
on. Luck is the difference between
success and failure. Luck is unjust,
because the luckey man does not al
ways deserve his luck. Luck is u
gambler. Luck is false friend, be.
cause II will desert its most favored
ones. Luck Is a mith. II may appear
to favor individuals, but the armies
which fight hardest are most apt to
win. Luck Is the coquette who leads
men TO despair. In only one thing Is
luck faithful--it is always on the side
OF those who are the steadiest workers.

Prize lists for the recent auto races
at Juarez were announced on Thurs
day and If any of the drivers were
tickled by the handsome stipends"
you wouldn't know it. The National,
which won three races, was awarded
something like Sl2.50, according to
Carl Reeves. Walter Smith declined
the offer of $3.50 for a win and two
seconds with the Fiat and Tom Brewer
is reported to have been allotted -l.75
for two thirds and one second, after
bringing the Marmon in from Miami.
Apparently il cost twice as much TO
run the Juarez races as il did TO bring
Barney oldfeld, Deloyd Thompson and
their big staff here from Las Angeles
for the meet last spring.-El Paso

SPECIAL EXCURSION TRAINS
TO NEW MEXICO STATE FAIR

Albuquerque, ". NJ, Sept. l5-The
people of the San Juan basin hsv,
been the first to take definite steps 10
arrange for a special excursion train
to the thirty-ffth New Mexico State
Fair. X. W. Wiley, secretary of the
fair commission, now has the matter
up with a number of prominent citi-
zens of Aztec and Pennington and a
representative of the railroad COM
panies is at present in San Juan coun-
ty with a view Of taking the necessary
steps to provide the transportation
facilities. Much interest has been
manifested in the fair throughout the
northwestern section of the state. and
II is expected that several hundred
citizens of San Juan county will avail
themselves of the low rates TO come
to see the biggest fair ever held in the
southwest.
There positively will be no discom.
fort or inconvenience to visitors on
account of lack of Accommodations,
Such is the announcement made by
Secretary Wiley, who has taken the
greatest care TO see that rooms are
provided for all who may come and
that there will be no overcharging on
the part of hotel or boarding house
proprietors during fair week. An eff
ficient bureau mas been organized To
take care of this end of the matter,
and while the greatest crowds ever
gathered in Albuquerque are expected
there will be nothing Of the confusion
and other disagreeable features that
so frequently go with big crowds.
The automobile show, which is TO
be held under the auspices Of the AL
buquerque Racing Association, bids
fair to be one of the big distinctive
features of the fair. The association
had originally planned to hold a big
road race during fair week, but on ac-
count of the many special attractions,
with which il would conflict the idea
was abandoned and the show substi-
tuted. The show will be on the
grounds and will be open day and
night with no extra charge for admis-
sion. Ii promises to be of value both
to the dealers and manufacturers and
w Nut Nul O"ucTS VI TIE SIdte VINO are
interested in keeping up with the la
test improvements in the automobile
line, supplies and accessories.
Nearly two thousand night season
tickets have been sold in Albuquerque
alone, and many mail orders are being
received from outside points. The
spcial bargain price of Sl.50, or just
half the admission charge for the six
nights of the fair, has attracted those
who realize that at these night shows
they will really see the best amuse.
ment features ever shown on a similar
occasion. The season ticket sale will
be discontinued on October /, but up
to that time all mail orders will be
promptly filled. Those desiring to or
der tickets by mail, should write, en-
closing remittance, to X. w. Wiley,
Secretary of the State Fair Commits.

 Rome, May 23, 10:05 D. m., via Paris, May A, $40 d. m.-The of fieiai statement published at Vienna charging that Italy did not adhere to the principles Of the triple alliance treaty is declared by the Giornale D'Italia to be entirely incorrect and misleading.
