MISS WANDA McADAM

Elsewhere will be found the
announcement of Miss Wanda
McAdam of her candidacy for
, county treasurer. AS Miss Nc
! Adam and the editor used to 90
to school together, we have a pc
culiar interest in her success in
life, and can most heartily rec
ommend her to the democrats of
the county as young woman of
urdaunted courage, of sterling
integrity, and of rare ability, and
) who we have reason to believe
would fill the position With hon.
or to herself and credit to the
whole county. Miss McAdam is
a product Of the county-indigi-
nous to the soil, and we believe
is deserving well not only of her
party, but of the people of the
county regardless of party affil-
liations. Miss Wanda has taught
a few terms of school, and was
long an efficient and trusted
clerk in G. F. Wheeler's store at
Villas, and if nominated and
elected we bespeak for herap pop
ular management of the office.

The snow, however, gave mois-
ture to start the crops; but that
was the last precipitation to do
any material good until the Sec
ond day of May the next year.
There was no grain that year,
but everybody had fodder for
their stock and got through in
good shape.
And then came 1916, one of
the dryest in the dry west-and
the end is not yet. In Baca
county the blow has fallen the
hardest on our new settlers,
those who came this year, or
have been in the county only a
year Or two Or three. In the
west half of the county, which
is mostly of this class of settlers,
it has been the dryast, and they
have been the least prepared for
it.
From these bald facts stands
out the great hope of the county,
and the settlers in it-that fodder
for stock has been aaised every
year during the thirty years of
the conntry's settlement. and
grain every year with the excep.
tion of two prior to the present
year.
We were in the county four
years in the old days, and thir-
teen years since coming back,
and can say that during these
thirteen years fair grain crop
was raised every year by those
who did fairly good farming.
Now a word of common" dry
years. During these thirteen
years there have been several of
them; out at the end of the sea.
son of each of these dry years
those who did good farming, as
above stated, came out with good
grain crops-excepting those on
new ground, where in many
cases they failed to make even
fodder. 4I
This is the record of thirty
years of Baca county, aud is an
index of the thirty years tc
come; and the lesson is --
Set your sails accordingly.

Should Elmer French be nom.
mated to the Office for which he
has announced there isn't oem-
ocrat in the county but can sup
port him g"aciously and without
any reservations.
Elmer has been identified with
Baca county interests for about
seven years. He proved up a
Claim in the Grandview country.
and has taught several terms OF
school here. and some years in
Oklahoma before coming here.
He is fine penman, an ex.
cellent accountant, and is other
wise equipped educationally to
bring tn tn" office the attention
and service required for its prop
er management.
Mr. French's best mmend
is the esteem in which he is held
by his friends and neighbors,
AMI the higi, estimation placed
upon him as a teacher. He il
obDiging and accommodating, Is
of sterling integrity ami high
ability, and we believe that If
elected will conduct the Office
with credit to himself and to the
best interests of the county, and
can consequently commend him
tn 'he careful consideration of
the democrats of Baca county.

Apropos his first experience
in connubial bliss our esteemed
contemporary says thus: I'VE
find the privilege of writing
promiscuously about anything
and in any vein hangs heavily
on our hands" Which we pre-
sumo is to say that the loss of
personal prestige and the fear
of broomsticks and rolling pins
have cast such gloom over his
ordinarily buoyant spirits that
writing with him may become
a lost art. Cheer up, old boy,
and put on bold front. Think
of what a grand opportunity will
be afforded by and by in writing
heavy editorials on How to
Avoid Entangling Alliances.
