NUGENT CORRECTS
TWO STATEMENTS

John r. Nugent announces that since
he made his address at the Pinney
theater Friday night, he has discovered
that the parcel post law, which he an
nounced was enacted under a Demo-
cratic administration, was enacted I'M
der Republican administration and
according to his information there was
a Democrat house only when the bill
was passed. He states, further. to
clear up any confusion, that he wishes
the public to know that the record
shows that 30 Republican representa-
tives and 10 Republican senators voted
with the president for the repeal of
the Panama canal tolls act. For the
reason that he was quoted in one paper
as saying that 90 senators voted for the
measure, he wishes the truth to be
known.

WHEAT GOES TO sl,26 IN
TUCUMCARI THURS. AUG. 10

|. r. Salley has just returned home
from Liberal, Kansas, where he went
on business. He says the elevators up
there are running over and no cars
can be secured to ship the wheat away
and the elevator people are dumping
the wheat on the ground. They were
paying $l.l5 Wednesday. II was es-
timated that 100000 bushels of wheat
were tied up in liberal, which repre-
sents an investment of about 1926, 900.
The acreage in the Liberal district was
greater this year than ever before but
the average of 10 or l2 bushels to the
acre was what they realized, or about
the same averaged in this county.
Mr.. Salley on his return to Tucum-
carl boosted the price of wheat lie
higher than last weeks prices. Today
he was offering $l.26 and he says the
price will not be apt to decrease un-
less something unforeseen happens.

SWIMMING POOL MAKING
GREAT HEADwAY

The Rev. Mr.. Hoering came up from
FL Paso, where he is spending August
to superintend the construction Of the
Boy Scouts Swimming pool, which will
be ready for the opening ceremony,
IL is hoped, by the middle Of next week.
Mr.. Hoering measured the Swim
ming Tank at the FL Paso Y. M. C. A.
and found that the Tucumcari tank
which is located on the grounds of the
Episcopal church, just across from
the st. Michael's Tennis Club, is very
little, il any, smaller than the FL Paso
tank. The deep end will contain about
seven feet, and the shallow end about
four feet OF water. Those who feel
they need greater depth than this
are recommended to try the middle
Of the ocean. The Scouts expect TO
open the pool to the public for a small
admission fee.
An interesting program for the op-
ening ceremony is being arranged,
when there will be Life Saving Ex-
hibition and swimming races, diving
contests, etc. The dedication cere~
mony will be performed by the mayor,
and the rector of st. Michael's who
is also president Of the Athletic and
Tennis club.

PICNIC AT PLAIN

On Friday August q, there gathered
at Plain quite a crowd Of local farm
ers and stockmen; also some few from
a distance, TO enjoy picnic. II seems
that it was intended by those in charge
To have something to entertain the
crowd before noon, but for some rea-
son was postponed. Also there was to
he some speaking, but the speakers
failed 70 show up The program com
mittee consisting oF Messrs Page, Lind
say, Snelson, appointed II. +. DeOli-
viera director Of the program and af-
ter dinner, it was as follows:
Goat roping contest with the follow
ing participating; Roy, Best, Bryan
Gholson, Amos Yates, II. +. Deoli-
viera and Tom Wright. Bryan Ghol-
son won first money my roping and
tying his goat in % seconds; Amos
Yates second in 20 seconds, Roy Best
third in 20 II. f. DeOliviera and Tom
Wright had hard luck and failed TO
catch their goats.
Goatroping was new to many pres
ent and seemed to amuse everybody.
Messrs. Griggs, Hutchison and Hawk
acted as judges.
The next on the program was a ball
game between Frio and Grady, re-
sulting in Frio winning. The score
being 4 to 10. The Frio boys appar-
emily had their rivals shade outclass-
ed and outlucked.
Next cowboys horse race was run,
u mile, by the following: Bryan
Golson, Arnold Walthers, Amos Yates
and II. +. De0liviera. The result was
Arnold Walthers lst, Amos Yates End,
Bryan Golson Bird and H. Z. DeOliviera
also ran.
The next and last event Of the day
was the somewhat sensational riding
Of Tom Wright, who rode till his sad
die slipped over the head Of what
seemed an old family work mule in
harness, but acted more like a dis
guised outlaw when Wright mounted.
The mule did some high jumping and
wholelot of it but its rider stayed
almost as long as his saddle. The
mule slipped the saddle off over It's
head and forelegs and some one caught
the birdie reins, it then slipped the
bride off. Some one humorously re-
marked that that was the first mule
they ever saw that unsaddled and un-
bridled itself. Wright also rode two
horses but they didn't tango like the
mule. He was the only rider who
rode for the bronco riding prize.
From the appearance of the trade
it got, the lone drink stand mus have
been a grand success. Customers were
so numerous that they had to wait
their turn to be served and ii was not
always Immediately either.
The goat roping contest and riding
were probably the real features Of
the day.

The season is lengthening well into
the summer and still no general rains
have fallen. Crops will be cut short
in the dry farming areas and in many
sections will be total loss If rains
do not come soon. Grass in most Sec
tions is short and, although stock are
now in fine condition, moisture must

will be bad for fall and winter.
Good rains have fallen in some sec
tions of the county, it is true, but with
out a general rain the effects are not
the best. II is yet sufficient time for
good rains to make grass and save
some of the crops, but the tardiness
in the arrival of the looked-for and
expected moisture adds fear to all in
terests. Clouds continue to hang low,
the indications are good for rain and

WILL HOLD COWBOYS
CARNIVAL IN OCTOBER

A number Of citizens met at the
Commercial Club rooms Monday night
for the purpose Of talking over a prop.
osition TO hold a Cattlemen's Cowboy
Carnival sometime this fall, perhaps
about the middle of October. Numer-
Gus suggestions were made and an
other meeting was called for Thurs
day night when committees will be ap-
pointed to start work, advertising, So
liciting and arranging for special at
fractions, such as carnival company
with a band, horse-racing and bronc
busting together with everything else
that goes to make up a successful
three days entertainment. 1t is pro-
posed TO hold a barbecue in connec-
tion. One day democratic speakers
could address the crowd; the next day
the Republicans and the next the Pro-
hibitionists or Socialists could enter
tain the crowds during the morning
hours. AS soon as the entertainment
committee is ready 10 report, the pro-
grams will be printed and distributed.
This will be more than a statewide
affair as those who are boosting it say
they will bring people here from Kan
sas, Oklahoma, Texas and Colorado.
The railroads will be asked to make
special rates. Extensive advertising
preparations are being made and ev-
cry dollar that can be secured will be
spent on attractions worth travelling
many miles to witness.
This movement was conceived by
Henry j. Wofford when u prominent
cattleman offered to head the list with
a cash donation of $4,000 and furnish
a string of horses and riders to as
sist in furnishing amusements.
All the attractions will be at the
base ball park where the carnival will
also be located. Concessions for lemon
ade, lunch counters and other eating
and drinking resorts will be sold TO
responsible parties. This is only the
beginning of what promises TO be an
annual occurrence and Tucumcari may
as well entertain as be entertained.
Railroads enter this city from all di-
rection and auto roads will allow those
TO come from the south as well as from
points along the railroads.
Every citizen of Tucumcari and of
Quay county should be interested in
holding three days Of amusement and
recreation, forget the daily routine
and come prepared to stay a week if
necessary. There are a number Of
new residents Of Quay county who
have never seen roundup, stampede
or cowboy reunion. II is proposed TO
combine all these and then have
good carnival company here TO make
things still more lively.
