FARM LOAN BOARD TO
MEET IN AMARILLO, TEX
4 Letter From Secretary Requests
Farmers To Appear And Pre-
sent Data; Immediate
Action Urged.

In order that the Federal Farm
Loan Board, which is the active
management of the recently passed
Rural Credits Bill, may learn the
needs and conditions of the farmers
Of the Panhandle country, which
includes Union county a meeting
of the board has been arranged at
Amarillo, Texas on November 2ist,
in the Federal building.
Mr.. Flanagan, secretary of the
board, in a letter to C. o. Dunn, re-
quests that the farmers of Union
county send a delegation to appear
before the board and present their
need for farm loans, data con-
cerning money rates and credit as
affected by long and short time loans
and any other information the board
may require or the farmers wish
to bring to its attention
At this meeting the full working
of the Rural Credits bill will be ex-
planned to those Interested by MEM
bers of the BOARD
While any ana all farmers and
business men of this community NAV
attend the meeting, it is best that
each community send representa-
tive who is we'll posted and can
state the facts and needs Of his
community tersly and forcefully
In this way much time can be saw
ed. All, however, who can, are in
vited to attend the meeting as spec
tators Those who expect to be ques-
toned, or the representatives Sc
lected by each community should
forward their names Immediately
to C. o, Dunn, Clayton, N. NJ, who
will certify such names to the board
Only such as are certified can ap-
pear before the board.
This is the first step toward the
actual benefit of the Rural Credits
Act to the local farmers and i'm
mediate action should be taken by
all interested. Not only the farm
erI should appear before the board
but the buiness men of the com
munity should also be present.

YOU'RE LICKED GOOD:
CUT OUT THE WHINING
From IN, Denver POST

President Wilson has becn reel
ected-there is not the slighets
question on that matter.
But our R-put lican friends are
hsId losers. they ought to be too
zig, too good spots, to whit around
and talk about contesting the elect
ioL.
They should remembe" that the
" nd has advarced since The dis
:,Gt etul Hayes end TilGel ccntc;t
Of forty years ago
They should ay the mans part;
not The baby's.
They shOulI take the medicine
gracefully and not have it forced
down their throats, like spoiled
child.
And, in passing, let us be thank
ful that no longer will New York
control and dominate the politics
of the United States.
No longer will such institutions as
Tammany scheme, manipulate and
double-cross everything and every
body, having but one God to wor-
ship and serve-the dollar.
One of the blessings of this cleo
tiOn is the passing Of the Tammany
crowd and the moving of the seat
of power from the dolIar-worship-
ing East. ont To the West: that CONN.,.
try of great men, splendid women,
beautiful ideals and glorious hopes.
This election will do more for the
purification Of American politics
than any other election has ever
done.
More blessings and more reasons
for congratulations and jOy-Denver

LUJANS CARTOONS FEATURE OF
LOCAL CAMPAIGN

One of the features of the local
campaign, and one that caused
much favorable comment on both
sides, were the political cartoons
drawn by Jake Lujan and posted
cOnspiciously in the windows about
town. VJake has a good Idea OF
"timliness", or news value, as 1t is
technially stated. and broad
sense Of humor combined with no
little skill with pen and pencil. His
cartoons caused no hard feelings and
were undoubtedly of assistance 20
the Democratic party. Friends of
Lujan who is a aCiayton boy, are vRg-
ing him to continue in the work
for which he shows such aptitude.

WILSON ELECTED BY ELECTORAL
MAJORITY OF EIGHT IN CLOSEST
PRESIDENTIAL RACE SINCE 1876

Telegraphic dispatches from New
York state definitely that Woodrow
Wilson was elected president of the
United States when California swung
definitely into the Democratic col
umns early today. /The only states
where the result remained in ques-
tion today were Minnesota and New
Hampshire, with sixteen electoral
votes |Wilsoa has carried New

in New Hampshire until the official
count is completed West Virginia
which was classed as doubtful un-
Til last night, has gone definitely
for Hughes by about 1000.
Unless the vote in, California is
divided, which now seems a pos
sibility, Wilson is assured PIP votes
in the electoral college, six more
than a majority.
If Hughes carried both Minnesota
with twelve votes and New Hamp-
shire with four, he would have only
259, seven less than ctough to elect
The result in Minnesota may be
/ determined by the ballots of the
2,l3S National Guardsmen now on
the Mexican border which will not
be counted until the state canvass
ing board meets next Tuesday. Re-
turns received early today in the
state gave Hughes lead of less than
800, and the troops votes may can
eel that.
Wilson leads in New Hampshire
by 239.
California complete. except for
thirty-five precincts, gave Wilson
plurality of $3.50 The tension of
the most dramatic situation in the
political history of the United
States was broken as the Associat-
ed Press flashed the news that Re
publican State Chairman Rowell Of
California had conceded the state
to Wilson Frantic appeals to ex-
pedite returns had been sent TO state
leaders hour after hour from the
national headquarters of both part
les in New York kilograms were re-
inforced by telephone calls across
the continent. II had been apparent
since Wednesday that California
was the pivot upon which the cleo

The Roll Call of Friends,

Have you ever sat alone In the even
ing looking over the pictures and the
books associated with the friends of
yore? In the busy whirl Of life is.tliere
not. a JOYS IN. calling the roll OF" old
friends and wondering where this one
and that one may be? Then comes that
moment of retrospective and intro
spective eulogy to absent friends, and
wells of gratitude are opened as we
think how greatly various friends
have influenced our pathway on life's
journey; how this one or that one may
have unconsciously determined the
crisis Of a career.
We become mellowed when we think
Of those passed beyond. The memory
Of them comes to Us gently and softly
as the sparkle Of the eye and the out
lines of the individuality are recalled
from the haze of past years.-Natioua

literature. It is composed OF slxty-six
different books. written by between
forty and fifty different authors-wrlt
ten centuries apart. in different Ian
guages. to different peoples. for differ
ent purposes. in different literary
forms. It is the selected literature OF
fifteen centuries. 1t includes law. his
tory. poetry. fiction. biography and
philosophy. It Is to be read as a lit

may therefore reject book from this
