JACK PULLEN SECOND
MISS SHAFT FOURTH
IN STATE CONTESTS

Quay county sent delegation of
teachers to Santa Fe this week to at
tend the State Teachers Association.
The number was sixty and they re-
ceived the banner for having travelled
the most aggregate miles.
Most of the teachers had returned
Thursday night and all reported an
excellent time and well pleased with
Santa Fe's hospitality.
Our orator, Jack Pullen, came near
bringing home lst place, and it may
yet be decided that he has won it. AS
it now stands Jack is sure of second
hind the first place.
Miss Shaft was declared the best
in the dcclamatory contest by the au-
dience but the judges got into a Sc
rious squabble and it ended in her only
receiving fourth. She was first said
TO have won second with young lady
from East Las Vegas first. 1t was
said that two Of the judges were from
East Las Vegas. If so there is moth
ing so strange about the Vegas girl
winning first. 1t is n well-known fact
that Miss Shaft is good enough to make
the best of them hustle and if she only
was entitled to Ith place there were
some mighty good readers in the CON
test

cnt suggested that body of not less
than twenty-five citizens of Tucumcari
lie asked TO back the proposition as
guarantors, and authorized the secre-
tary, Mr.. Ray z. Boyer, to assist in
promoting this Chautauqua.
This is $2500 Chautauqua. The
Chautauqua people ask that the citi-
zens Of Tucumcari sell 53a season tick
cts at $500 each as n first ticket sale.
The citizens will receive so per cent of
all sales of season tickets above $1,000.
The program for the Chautauqua

large tent furnished by the Chautau-
qua people.

tract calling for n sale Of tickets 534
