LIGHT and Air Essential.

All stables, like houses, should have
ample window space in order to ad-
init a plentiful supply of sunlight and
fresh air, in themselves among the
most powerful disinfectants known.
Bacteria thrive in dampness, dirt and
darkness, and clean. dry stable pre-
sents the most unfayorable conditions
for their development. For this rea-
son good drainage is also an essential
point 10 be considered in the construc
ton OF a stable.

wanted the place that their friends
are apt to regard the appointment

some talk of opposition to his con-
firmation. In the country at large.
however the Presidents choice is liza
bic to be looked upon with favor.
Mr.. Brandeis is a great lawyer and
like his predecessor is a Democrat.
Above all the President has recog-

POSTMASTER GORMAN DIES
AFTER SHORT ILLNESS

T. f. German. postmaster, died at
his home in this city Wednesday morn
ing after a serious illness lasting only
"A few days.
During the past few months Mr..
German has been troubled with his
stomach, but he was being treated
for same by local physicians and was
thought by his family and friends to
be getting along nicely, but about two
weeks ago he was taken suddenly i'll
and it wa5 necessary for him to remain
in bed. He had several hemorrhages
from the stomach and was thought
to be dying several times, but each
time he rallied and Tuesday seemed to
he much better. That night he be-
came violently i'll and passed away
about twelve o'clock.
The passing of Mr.. German takes
another of our best citizens. Mr.. Cor
man was chief clerk on the +. p. &
S. w. with headquarters here for sew
eral years. He desired a change of
work and secured the appointment as
postmaster, taking up his duties last
May. He was attentive to his work
and was making cne of the most eff
cient postmasters Tucumcari ever en-
joyed. He was strictly business and
perfect gentleman.
Mr.. German was 3S years of age
at the time of his death. The cause
Of his death was said to have been
cancer of the stomach. There were
no funeral services held here but the
body was prepared for shipment to
his former home at Joliet, Ill.,. where
the interment will take place Satur-
day, November Is.
lie leaves n wife and one son be-
sides n host of friends and relatives,

has the sympathy Of all in this sad
bereavement.
The remains were accompanied to
Joliet by Mrs. German and son, John,
and two sisters, Mrs. Crooks and Mrs.
Conner, Of Pueblo. Colo, who were
here during the last few days of Mr..
Germans sickness.

times during the night and "drank"
them as often as they desired to guz-

They came in true penitentiary style

were in the same stupeiied condition
from overwhelming and overfeeding,
and they all voted the straight Repub-

kept in the Lucero mill and yards,

the whole night through and were led
to the polls and voted as one man all

QUAY COUNTY BROOM
CORN RR|NCS FARMER
$500 CASH PER TON

A. l.. Gurley, broom corn buyer, of
Merose, has been in the north part
Of Quay county this week resolving
broomcorn from the Quay c...,..' , m
ers. Messrs. Harry Whiteside, G. a.
Brimmage, AL Dunlap, Eali Weaver.
j. l.. Clemmer and Chas. +. Ward Of
Quay, were here this week and deliver
ed 40,500 pounds of the best broom
corn Mr.. Gurley has eceived this year
and he paid the top price TO them,
which was $4,000 per ton. This made
two car loads and brought in the neigh
borhood of $4,000. Not so bad for
just common dry farming land which
only few years ago was considered
worthless as far as farming went. Mr..
Gurley said he had bought hundreds Of
tons of broom corn this year and the
product from Quay Valley was the
best he had seen,
Mr.. Gurley has been buying broom
corn in all parts of the county for
several months, paying good prices for
it before it was baled. He has shipped
fourteen cars from Glenrio, two from
Bard, two from San Jon, and abou,
fifty from Melrose Twenty-Five of
these cars shipped from Melrose were
raised in Quay county on the plains.
Four cars were shipped from Tucum-
carl previous to the shipment this wecl,
of two cars. He, like all her grain
buyers, would be glad to locate in this
city if the county roads were fixed up

ducts to the county seat and not have
to haul it down in Curry county and
sell it.
Often times the Albuquerque and
Santa Fe paper have articles about
the big wheat farms in Curry county.
counting the Vance Bros, with their
hundreds of acres and thousands Of
bushels among the prosperous Curry
county wheat growers, when every
inch of their land is located in Quay
county. but they are forced to haul
their wheat to Melrose because the
roads are better. They also do most
of their banking and trading their.
This also is counted in Curry county
resources. The Vance boys are not
the only prosperous Quay county farm
o's doing business in Curry county.
II is up to Tucumcari to awaken and
unite in an effort TO encourage the
farmers TO come here with their pro-
ducts, make Tucumcari their trading
point and leave their money in Quay
county banks. They have heen pros
porous and successful this year while
farmers north and east have failed.
They have raised excellent wheat that
topped the market. They have raised
broom corn that will top the market
This is no experiment; it is facts, nov
if good road is built between here
and the plains success will be mutual
and Tuucmcar will become the bet
trading point in New Mexico.

SHOWS AND COLD WEATHER
BENEFICIAL TO FARMERS

III hau Deen threatening cOlu Weath-
er for some time but Sunday it COM
menccd to drizzle and later to sleet.
Monday morning the temperature was
considerable below normal and 1t re-
mained disagreeable most of the. day
That night it really turned cold and
those who owned thermometers were
afraid to look at them for fear they
had gone so low they had broken. At
seven o'clock Tuesday morning some
of them registered as low as fifteen
degrees above zero. Ice was about an
inch thick and slight skiff of snow
lie on the ground 1t sure reminded
the inhabitants of Tucumcari that win
ter comes once year, even in sunny
New McXico.
The sidewalks were covered with ice
and it was with difficulty pedestrians
went to their places of business, but
no serious accidents have been report
ed. Some of the old-tmers say this
promises to be one of the hardest win
ters ever known in New Mexico. Bet
ter prepare as it may be so.
The farmer will reap the reward IL
there is much snow as there are many
extra thousand acres of wheat sowed
on the plains because Of the lucky
strike made by the farmers up there
this year. We town folks can stand
considerable cold weather if it will
make the farmers prosperous. The
producers are what we need. When
the producer is really prosperous they
usually pass it around and the mer-
chant and everybody receives their
share.
a few weeks ago it was suggested
that the United States would be forced
to place an embargo on wheat and
other food stuffs. At first people only
laughed at the proposition, but the
matter has been taken up by the main
newspapers of the country and move
is now on foot to suggest such mea-
sure to President Wilson. The situa-
ton is becoming alarming and if we
allow the foreign countries to drain
this country of its food, what will we
do for flour before the next crop is
harvested? II would not surprise US
to hear of an embargo being placed
on wheat.
Most of the farmers have sold their
grain and it is now being horded away
by the millionaires to he kept and sold
at exhorbitant prices. The consumer
the man who earns his living by the
sweat Of his brow, will pay the bill
Wheat is bringing Sl.8l in Tucumcari.
This grain must be shipped to the mill
and made -int0 flour and returned to
the consumer to buy at big prices. No
one bcgrudges the farmer the big price
he is now receiving for his grain but
there is something wrong somewhere.
II the war in Europe would suspend
and peace would be restored there is
possibility of several men who now
claim to be millioraires, going broke
in nights time, but so long as the
war continues, and this government
allows foreign countries to come here
and buy our food stuffs. these men will
double their millions.
Let it snow, rain. sleet or do what
it may so long as the farming district
of New Mexico is to be benefited. The
prices of grain will be good next year
because there is no surplus from for
mer years to bring the price down.

CALIFORNIA DEMOCRATIC

San Francisco. Nov. l5.-Thirty-
three counties in California remained
to be heard from today in the official
election canvass. Early returns from
five counties made the difference be-
tween the lowest Democratic elector
and the highest Republican elector,
5,63l, the lowest Democrat having that
majority.
Both parties admit that big dis
crepancy would have to be found in
order to change the California result,
and such discrepancy could only
come from the three most populous
counties in the state, San Francisco.
Los Angeles or Alameda. The first
days work in these counties disclosed
only minor changes.
