The Last Race

W. b. Rector is now high chief at
the American Furniture Co., Frank
Liebendorfer having resigned. Ir.
Rector is an old-timer in the mercan-
tile business and will readily pick up
the furniture business. He owned and
operated large store at or near Aus
tin before coming to New Mexico, and
since residing in Tucumcari he has
assisted some of the large stores. Mr..
Liebendorfer is perhaps the best sales
man in Tucumcari and will be missed
for a time at least, by the firm he has
served so long. The News did not
learn when he intends to leave Tucum-
carl but understands he will go t. poy
where he has "a large acreage of wheat
to harvest.

have sold The Democrat to Mr.. John

have made Horace Greeley turn over
in his grave had he known of It.
Today, with the exception of limo
type, which Mr.. Miller has already
ordered, 1t is one of the we'll equipped
shops of the Southwest. For nearly
a years-we have been putting out
from eight to sixteen pages of home
print every week; our job depart
ment has never had to send a job out
OF town on account of inability to do
the work properly; our subscriptions,
while not all paid in advance, are in
mighty good shape; we have between
$500 and $1,000 worth of paper
stock on hand on which no bills are
past due; and last, but by no means
least, we have witnessed a Demo-
cratic victory in Seward county that
reached from President to dog-pelter,
an unheard-Of thing in the past his
tory of the county. Such a record
gives the departing editor a feeling
that 1t was not by any means a case
of loves labor lost" to put up with
the few unpleasant things that are
bound to come during that length of
time. When you further realize that
our capital stock when we bought the
plant was $3.50, you will know what
constitutes flyer in high finance.
To our patrons. subscribers and
friends who have been in any meas
ure responsible for this success, we
render all due thanks. The business
men Of Liberal are the best bunch of
fellows ever congregated together on
one townsite, and the majority OF our
dealings have been pleasant on our
part. Lots of The Democrats good
customers are men of opposite politi-
cal faith, but today there are not
half dozen firms in Liberal that have
mt in some way patronized this shop
since we have been running 1t. We
appreciate this spirit on their part
and will try to maintain 1t should we
30 into some other line of business in
this town. 4
We have no plans for the future.
Liberal is a mighty good town in
which to live and holds better pros
poets than any town nearby. At this
time 1t is our intention of remaining
here, and 1t would take something
mighty enticing to make us pull up !
stakes and leave. We hope to live on |
our record of past performances for
week or two and presume some
hing will show up in that length of |
time. We won't tackle anything un-

BOARD CONSIDERING
new FIRE PROTECTION

The Board Of County Commissioners
sitting as Town Board for The Town
of Eiko yesterday, decided TO hold the
bids submitted for n chemical engine
until the next meeting, and in the
meantime field man from The Board
of Underwriters of San Francisco will
be brought here to canvass the situa-
tion and determine just what kind of
protection would result in greatest re.
duction in insurance rates.
The Board now has much more in
formation before it than it had several
weeks ago. and it is the desire to Sc
cure IN" greatest efficiency and bcne-
iii at the least expense. Upon the re.
port of the Board of Underwriters will
largely depend their final action in the
matter.
The Board is now considering the
adyisahility of installing an auxiliary
pump At the reservoir. by which 4
water pressure of 100 pounds or more
might he developed. If ;hiS Is decided
and will be connected " 4, the tclc-
phone central office by v,rC. BY this
arrangement the pump can he started
the same instant that the fire alarm is
turned in, and the pressure would be
sufficient TO throw several streams
over the highest building in Elio. The
cost of such pump would not be
more than $4,000, n is estimatod.
In addition 10 this small chemical
engine equipped with ladders. hose,
etc. could be installed, and the total
cost would probably be less than the
cost of largo engine with pump at.
tachmrri
The Board realizes the RESPONSE
bility of its action and is Giving the
matter keen consideration Their final
decision will undoubtedly result in the
very best possible protection for tl,c
