QUARANTINE LIFTED

The city board of health has raised
the quarantine and the citizens are
free TO attend the picture show, at
tend church or Sunday school. In
fact, the town is wide-open again and
all contagious diseases are history.
OF course there may be danger Of
a new contagion unless the necessary
precaution Is taken. Any evidence Of
scarlet fever, diphtheria, smallpox,
or measles will be watched and quar-
antined as soon as found but il is
hoped that nothing of this kind will
show up as Tucumcari cannot afford
to operate under quarantine all the
,me. II your children are free from
sickness you are ut perfect liberty to
60 anywhere in town.
Business has been quiet since the
town was quarantined some four
weeks ago but the merchants have i'm.
proved the time and have been plac-
ing their new spring goods and are
fully ready u care for your every
need.

FLOYD bESS DIES AF.
TER LONG ILLNESS
Two OTHER DEATHS

Floyd Bess died last Friday even
ing at 1880 o'clock after an illness
extending back more than a year.
At first it was thought he would have
no serious difficulty and he would soon
recover his former excellent health.
But when IL was found that he was
suffering from pernicious anemia.
Ga deficiency of blood in the system
or of red corpuscles in the blood.
the physicians pronounced his case in
curable, but his many friends hoped
against the inevitable and relied on
F'loyd's iron-clad will TO pull him out
Of his precarious condition.
Floyd was a self-made man having
been left to make his own way through
life when but mere child. He work
ed his way through school and OBJ
tained good education. He gradu.
ally climbed the ladder and success
was within his grasp when fate turn
ed against him and the last few months
Of his life were filled with suffering
and disappointment, but Floyd re-
mained jovial and despcadel was
unknown TO him.
At the time of his death he held
the highest position and standing on
this section Of the Rock Island and
+. p. a. s. w. lines, within the gift
of the Western Union Telegraph Co.,
and was ever faithful to his company.
The passing of Floyd Bess takes
from our midst one OF our very best
young citizens, and is mourned by ev-
cry acquaintance in Tucumcari as we'll
as all along the railroads where he
was known. He was an athlete of the
highest order, being one of the best
base ball players ever donning a suit
in Tucumcari, and always being In
first-class physical condition il is hard
to understand how disease could Sc
cure any hold upon him, but after re-
covering from several attacks he was
again taken sick few weeks ago and
died Friday evening.
The funeral services were conducted
from the home on Second street at
2:30 by Rev +. J. Hoering of the Epis-
copal Guild, and the Masonic Lodge,
of which he was a member. A large
concourse Of friends gathered to pay
their last respects to the deceased and
one Of the longest funeral professions
ever witnessed in Tucumcari, followed
the remains to their last resting place
in the Sunnyside cemetery.
The pail bearers were Messrs. o. c.
Goodloe, r. p, Donohoo, Arthur Gold
enberg, L. U. Mckenzie, Lee Snyder
and w. A. Savage. He leaves wife,
Mrs. Lillian, principal of the Central
school, and many personal friends to
mourn his death.

PERSONAL USE CLAUSE MAY
NULIFY PROHIBITION

Washington, D. G., Feb. 22.--At-
torneys general Of 10 states today
filed with the supreme court Joint
argument in support Of the consti-
tutionality Of the West Virginia liq-
uor law prohibiting the receipt and
possession Of Intoxicating liquors for
personal use and Of the federal Webb
Kenyon liquor law prohibiting the
shipping OF Intoxicating liquors into
states for use in violation of state
laws.
The states represented are Arizona,
Georgia, Idaho, Iowa. Kansas, Mississ-
ippi, North Carolina, North Dokota,
Oklahoma, Oregon, South Carolina,
Tennessee, West Virginia, Washington
and Alabama.
The decision of the court in the
West Virginia cases, now before the
court for oral argument. is expected
10 be the most important adjudication
of the temperance fight in a decade.
1T seems strange at this late day"
the attorneys general stated to the
court in their brief. "to hear claim
made that the state and national gov
ernment guarantee to a citizen the
right to possess and receive liquor for
personal use and to drink the same
in unlimited quantities. II such had
been the case, II is difficult to see how
any sort of prohibitory law could have
been sustained, since all Of them have
a direct tendency TO reduce or prevent
the use of Intoxicating beverages, and
it is the purpose of all Of them to pro-
mote temperance by the prevention
of the consumption Of intoxicants. This
purpose has found repeated express
ion in adjudged cases.
Turning to the Webb-Kenyon law,
the attorneys general urged that, 10
accomplish the valid purpose of pro-
hibiting the traffic in liquor, it is ne
cessary for n state to have the right
TO control interstate shipments even
for personal use.

FUNK PLANNING MILL BURNED

FUNK FLAMING MILL BURNED
Last Friday night the Funk plan
ing mill was destroyed by fire within
u few roinutes.
About seven o'clock Mr.. Funk went
to the postofiice for his mail and re-
turned home about 7:l5. He went
into the mill after few tools which
he desired to use while at work that
evening on the inside of his residence
which he has been remodeling, There
was no sign of fire in the building
at that time. About an hour later
Mrs. Funk discovered the fire and the
alarm was turned in.
The fire boys made record run
but the building burned like tinder
and 1t looked for time like the big
house on the south and Mr.. Funk's
new residence on the north would be
caught on fire, but the work of the
fremen save all the adjoining prop
erty from any damage and succeeded
in soon putting out the fire, or enough
to save some Of the machinery and
feed. The tools, or most of them,
were rendered useless and the loss
was heavy. The building was insured
for 5000 while the machinery was in
sured for $3.50, being only fraction
of the real value of the tools and ma
chinery.
J. N. Stradley, who works with Mr.,
Funk, lost a number OF his tools.

Messrs. Goldenberg and Funk, went
to Stratford, Texas to look at the
Touring mill at that place. While in
that town NJ. b. asked the rates on
grain from that point to FL Paso, and
learned that they were able to ship
through Tucumcari TO FL Paso, a dis
tance of about l50 miles further than
from here TO FL Paso, for five cents
hundred less. This is one of the
reasons Tucumcari buyers cannot pay
as much for grain as Texas buyers.

A KICK. - Have been a constant
reader of The Day Book for the last
two years and wish to say that for
fairness and squareness the little
book cannot be beat. l have never
cared to write in The Public Forum,
as I thought that 1 never had the
ability and was always satisfied with
reading what other people had to
say. However, with your kind per-
mission, l would like to say just a
few words.
heartily endorse C. L. Friberg's
sentiments with reference to taking
up the valuable space in The Forum
with a lot of bunk" about bedbugs
and tipping hats and other such rot.
I am a member of one of the best
organizations in the city, the North
West Side Young Peoples Socialist
league, and if there is anything we
advocate it is free speech. We have
a membership of 125 and almost all
read The Day Book, and especially
The Forum. There is lot of differ
ence between free speech and trash.
Who cares a rap whether Allan Ste
ven is infested with bedbugs or some
other such animal, or whether Able
Holman and, Morris Minsky tip their
hate to the ladies? That kind Of
stuff Pm sure has been getting mine
and also quite few peoples goats
lately.
Once in a while I notice kick be-
ing registered by writer because his
letter has not been published, and
