Eastern New Mexico is rapid.

wheat country. Indications are
the acreage in Curry County will
De more than double that Of last
year. With a good season, next
years crop may reach a million
bushels in the county. The
crop this We ar made from s
to 35 bushels and the dryest year
in ten at that. The big rains
the latter part of August has put
the country in great shape for
wheat and a bumper crop is eX
pected.
Nearly all the farmers who
can dig up the price Gf seed are
planting wheat, the chief topic
Of conversation throughout East
srn New Mexico is wheat, wheat,
wheat.
There's reason for this. It's
q good proposition the best bet
in the country. 1t is reasonable
TO believe the high prices will
continue next year, as there is
little lkelyhood Of the war being
ended by the time another crop
is harvested. The chances are
the termination of the war would
not affect prices very much as
the war ridden countries would
need our wheat just the same
Tor some time to come.
The average yield in Curry
County this year was from II to
Is bushels per acre and lots of it
tested 63 pounds per bushel. A
pretty good record for $40 to $l5
land. 1t is safe to say that it
cannot be beaten anywhere in
the United States.

Clovis Woman Happy Over
Finding of Lost Nephe W

Mrs. Alex Rogers. of Clovis,
is happy this week over the
finding of Charles Moore her
nephew, the young man who has
been missing since July 9Th.
Moore was q surveyor and was
connected with the United States
forest service and disappeared
from camp near Fraser, Colo
rado, saying he Would soon re.
turn for dinner. A nation wide
search resulted, arc a 5000 re-
ward was offered for his re-
covery.
The unfortunate young man
was found in Amarillo last Fri.
day by a former acquaintance,
but he seemed to have no re-
collection of his former residence
there or family connections
His mind seemed TO be a blank.
When a friend went to telephone
his sister Miss Susie Moore,
clerk in the Amarillo post office,
Moore made his getaway. A
search was made and he was
soon located.
Here is a most remarkable
part of the story, for upon see
ing his sister Charley Moore was
himself again. He remembered
that on the day of disappearance
from Fraser, Colo, he was
engaged in a strenuous fight
against a forest fire. When that
fight was over there was sharp
pain in the back of his head and
that is the last he remembered
until he met his sister face to
face. The shock seemed to re.
store him. He rushed forward,
embraced and kissed his sister
and his mind seemed as clear as
ever.
Mrs. Rogers, of Clovis, advef.
tised in the News and at the
Lyceum theatre for the lost
young man thinking he might be
around Clovis, as his father
formerly held a Curry County
claim.

Dangers Of Draft.

Drafts feel best when we are
hot and perspiring, just when
they are most dangerous and the
result is neuralgia, stiff neck,
sore muscles or sometimes at at
tack of rheumatism. In such
cases apply Sloan's Liniment. 1t
stimulates circulation to the sore
and painful part. The blood flows
freely and in a short time the
stiffness and pain leaves. Those
suffering from neuralgia or neu-
ralgic headache will find one or
two applications of Sloan's Lin
iment will give grateful relief.
The agonizing pain gives way to a
tingling sensation of comfort and
warmth and quiet rest and sleep
is possible. Good for neuritis,
too. Price 25c at yolr druggist.

NEW laNlTER ron ENGINES.

Every one who handles small
gasoline engine operated on bat
terics known how troublesome
these batteries can be when on
cold morning they are frozen up
and give only very weak spark
or still worse, no spark at all.
When batteries are new they give
a very good spark, but when about
worn out the spark becomes weak.
High speed magnetos driven by
friction from the fly wheel of the
engine have proved unsatisfactory
because of the great variation in
the spark due to fluctioation in
the speed of the magnetic. The
gear driven magnetic running at a
much lower speed has given more
satisfaction. Since the spark de-
ponds upon the speed of the mag
neto it is often difficult to start
the engine on these magnetos.
At present the oscillating type
of magnetic is coming into very
common use for contact spark en-
|gines. This magnetic does not ro-
tate, but is tripped by the same
mechanism which trips the en-
|gine. The armature or inductor
lis brought back to its original po-
sition by springs. 1t is this re-
turn motion that sets up the cleo
trio impulse and causes the
spark. Since this in no way is
affected by the speed of the engine
the spark is as strong at the start
as it is when the engine is under
full speed. E. r. GROSS,
