largest majority of airy candidate in
the primary"
Mr.. Atkins was born in Missouri
where he grew to manhood, in Linn
county, where one election the officers
are democrats and the next some re-
publicans land few men. He is not
a politician but works for the Demo-
Gratis because he knows they are near

ruling and not class legislation. He
is alive to the needs Of the country
schools and promises TO do something
for them in the way of improving the
equipment and making them more eff
ficient.
He is making a clean race against
his honorable opponent, J. b. Scar
brough, and says nothing against him
in order TO gain votes, but his main
reasons for asking this Office arc his
location and qualifications.

WIND STORM De.
STROYS PROPERTY
IN QUAY COUNTY

A wind storm passed through this
county from the northwest last Sun
day afternoon and nearly gained the
proportions Of cyclone in some parts
of the county especially northeast of
town near the Canadian and Paiarita
rivers.
Several windmills and barns on the
Shiflettc, Dickey and other places on
the Pajarita, also the silo on the Ham
iiton dairy, were blown down or badly
damaged.
Mrs. Bells house on her farm 10
miles northeast Of here was blown
over while Mrs. Bell and three daugh-
ters were in it and three of them as.
capped with only slight injuries. One
OF the daughters was rendered uncon-
scious but recovered without any very
serious effects.
Fred Surguy's house was turned
over but Mr.. and Mrs. Surguy sue
ceeded in get out of the house before
IT turned upside down and smashed
dishes, furniture and stoves. The
house started and stood for few sec
onds on one corner. the wind seeming
~ not being strong enough to turn il
over. At this juncture MIR. and Mrs.
Surguy left the house. They had hard
ly gotten out until the house rolled
over on the roof The children were
up to their grand parents about n
mile west and were safe.
AT John Surguys the wind was not
quite so bad but il was strong enough
to unroot "a tive-year-old locust tree,
which stood at the back door where
the ground was nearly as hard as n
rock. The rain came down in tor.
rents and washed chicken coops far
out into the pasture, drowning nearly
all the small ones and also drowned
hens in the coOps. II smashed wa
gons, and implements all along it's
route.
Mr.. Conger's windmill and barn
were in the route of the storm and
his barn and wind mill were torn down
together with other damage. Fence
posts the size Of mans Leg were
broken off at the ground.
Al. Reads house was badly dam
aged, and il is said that trees were
stripped of their limbs and leaves.
A man travelling through the coun-
try by wagon, reached the Canadian
near dripping springs and tried to
drive his team across. When he got
quite distance out in the river his
team balked. He tried for some time
to persuade them to pull his wagon
and goods out of the river. but TO no
avail. He finally unlocked them from
the wagon and drove them back out
of the river which was rising fast.
In few minutes the river rose sew
eral feet and took the wagon, clothing
and everything down the swift cur
rent. He came back to Mr.. Congers

TUCUMCARI MUST
DONATE HER SHARE
TOWARDS Y. N. c. A.

Tucumcari can now be given def
mite information about the proposed
Y. NJ. G. A. The Southwestern Rail
road Company was appealed TO for
support, and they sent the commit
tee back TO Tucumcaii TO see what we
could do NOW 1T Is UP TO TU-
CUMCARl! This city can have its
own T. VI. 6. A.. and hold its head a.
high as any city in the east as pro-
gressive town.
Mr.. W II Day Of I'll Paso, Inter
state Secretary of New Mexico and
Arizona. and West Texas, who was
here few weeks ago looking over
the situation, will return about the
fifteenth Of this month to begin oper-
ations in earnest. Mr.. Day is one Of
the big men in the Association work.
For the past few months he has put
in his time exclusively, with the sol
diers on the Mexican border. He trav-
els from camp to camp and post TO
post, carrying magazines, books, and
papers to break the wearing monotony
of camp life. In the small out-posts
where there are but four or five men,
where news travels slowly, he is a
most welcome visitor.
Mr.. Da, is laying aside his work
with the army boys TO come to Tu-
cumcari and help US establish our
school for grown-up boys" Mr.. Day
is enthusiastic over the prospects here
He readily saw the need of such an
institution at his last visit.
We had expected to be able TO an
nounce that Mr.. A. B. Richardson
Secretary at Bisbee, Arizona, would
be here through the campaign TO CO.
operate with Mr.. Day in this work.
When it comes to real live workers.
Mr. Richardson stands right up in the
foreground. He is a born organizer
and promoter and can inject enough
enthusiasm into dead fish to make
IT swim in boiling water; it is hard TO
tell what he could do TO Tucumcari.
but conditions are such in Bsbee at
the present time, that Mr.. Richard
son will probably be unable to be here
through the entire campaign. Never
theless, he will do his best to be here
part Of the time. according to his last
communication.
Now, you can talk Y. M. c. A., sing
Y. NJ. c. A.; dream Y. NJ. G. A.; and
write Y. NJ. c. A. Watch the local
papers for authentic news and be
ready to pass it on to the fellow that
does not take the papers.
