Of town, and were finally able 70 get
il under control.
To fight the fire most of the mer.
chants closed their places of business
and some of them returned exhausted.
The fire was famed by the high wind

far beyond control Of the fire fighters.

Thousands Of acres Of fine winter
grass was destroyed and many home
steaders and small ranchers have been
ruined by the flames. II was feared

TUCUMCARI BUS|.
NESS MEN WANT
GRAIN ELEVATOR

4 grain elevator man from Kansas
is expected here this month. and II
number Of the local business men are
planning to show him that they want
an elevator in Tucumcari, and that the
farmers in the country are very much
interested in the matter. The exact
date Of his arrival is not known at
this time, but an automobile trip over
the surrounding district is being ar
ranged for, so that the opportunities
and possibilities may be shown to
the best advantage.
Some six to ten automobiles have
been offered for use and strong dele
cation of boosters is being organized
to visit Ragland, Jordan, Kirk, Nc
Alister, House, Murdock, Forrest,
Plains, Puerto, Norton, and other 10.
caltics in the agricultural district.
IL is believed that an elevator here
can do well, that it will be a benefit to
the farmers, and that it will be an
asset TO the entire county. II is pre-
dicted that IL will promulgate to II
great extent the planting and produc.
ton of larger grain crops.
Letters have been addressed to many
of the farmers requesting their AS
sistance in pulling for the PROPOSE
ton, and considerable interest gener-
ally is being manifested in the matter.
Cooperation is necessary to accom-
plish anything so the citizens of Quay
county should do all in their power to
encourage the establishment of an ele-
vator in Tucumcari or some other rail-
road town.

County Judge Thomas F. scully Of

zance OF the decision Of the Supreme
Court in the Macomb case taking
away the right Of women to vote for
judges Of the Municipal Court.
Judge scully. who was in Spring.

Justice George A. Cooke of the Su.
preme Court. Justice Cooke told
Judge scully that the decision applies
to Chicago Municipal judges as well
as to those of downstate city courts.
"Justice Cooke told me that the Mu.
nicipal Court Of Chicago was espe.
cially considered by the justices. and
that their decision absolutely pre-.
vents women OF Chicago from exer.
cising this right OF franchise, which
they have had for the last three
years." said Judge Scully. I'm the
decision the Supreme Court held that
judges Of all courts are constitutional
officers. although not specifically ere.
