When l see a disagreeable person approaching I walk away. l don't wait until he gets started. The most disagreeable people, when they ap' proach, say a few agreeable things to begin with; then is the time for disap. bearing. It's no use to argue with dis agreeable people. If they could help 1t they would. Possibly they regard the annoying things they say as crtti' cism: every one likes to think of him. self as critic. The only complete an. swer to disagreeable person is flight or a fight, and no one cares to be mussed up constantly by fighting.-Ed Howe in New York Independent

YOUR BRONCHIAL TUBES

When cold settles in the bronchial
tubes, with that weakening, tickling
cough, immediate treatment is very
important. The breath seems shorter
because of mucous distractions; usu-
ally feveris present, your head jars with
every cough and your chest may ache.
This is no time for experimenting or
delay-you must get SCOTS Emulsion
at once to drive out the cold which
started the trouble, and it will check
the cough by aiding the healing pro-
cess of the enfeebled membranes.
If you have any symptoms of bron-
chitis. or even stubborn cold, always
remember that SCOTS Emulsion has
been relieving this trouble for forty
years. It's free from alcohol or drugs.
Refuse substitutes.

TREE GROWING PROFITABLE.
Posts and Poles Bring as Much as
Other Crops.

Manhattan, Kan. March Com
mercial wood lots in Kansas are most
common in the central part of the
state, although there are a number in
the eastern part. The hardy catalpa
is the species most commonly planted.
The Usage orange and Russian null
berry are found less commonly.
The returns from the Kansas COM
mercial woodlOts are posts and poles.
The species mentioned, being small
sized trees, seldom reach sufficient
size to make saw logs. The annual re-
turns per acre for the time required
to grow posts and poles are declared
by c. a. Scott, state forester, to be at
least as much as the average returns

Carl Eklund, Alderman

Mr.. Carl Eklund, who led the ticket
in Tuesdays election, is a man that
needs no introduction to the people of
Clayton and Union county. He has
been in Clayton for the past twenty
five years and has had much to do with
the building of this little city. 1t
has been said of Mr.. Eklund that he
had his choice upon coming to Clay
ton, he could either walk in or not
come in at all. His capacity to gather
friends around him, and money and
chattels as well, soon won for him a
place in the business life of the town
and he has never ceased to be one of
the aggressive builders of the city
during the years he has lived here.
Today he can come and go at will, and
choose his own conveyance. He owns
and controls about 5000 acres of ranch
land near and adjoining Clayton, be-
sides having the distinction of build
ing, owning and operating the three
story hotel in Clayton, which is
the only building of these proportions
in northeast New Mexico He has
served in various official capacities in
connection with the city government,
has aided materially in the matter of
installing a systematic record in con-
nection with the city business and in
the matter of establishing credit for
the city and putting its business af-
fairs upon a firm basis. Mr. Eklund's
strong pull in the election was the
fact that he is a strong progressive
and aggressive town builder and bust
ness man.

T. H. Rixey, Mayor

T. H. Rixey, the man whom the
people elected as mayor of the city
of Clayton on Tuesday of this week,
is, without question, one of the pro-
gressive young business men of the
town. He is about 32 years of age,
came here nine years ago from Platte
City, Mo-, where he had been reared on
farm. He received his education in
the public schools of his state and
advanced work in Military Academy
at Cameron Point, Missouri. He was
employed as cashier of the First Ma
tional Bank and Union County Trust
and Savings Association of this city,
and assisted in organizing the Cim-
arron County Bank, of Kenton, Okla
homa, and at one time acted as cash
ier of all three institutions. About
three years ago he, with those of his
associates, bought the State Bank of
Commerce of this city and has been its
active vice president and chairman of
board of directors to the present time.
Out of this bank grew the First State
Bank of Texline, Mr.. Rixey being
chairman of the board of directors of
this institution also.
He is a man of good business abil-
ity, is careful and conservative, is of
high moral. character and one who
commands the respect and support Of
every phase of the community life of
the town.

Duke City Democrat Wins by Narrow
Margin

Albuquerque, April 5.-Henry Wes-
terfeld, democrat, won the election
for mayor of Albuquerque yesterday
by the slender margin of six votes.
City Clerk Tom Tughes again had
a walkaway in his race for reelection
winning by an overwhelming major
ity. Warren Graham won the contest
for treasurer by majority of 131.
The newly elected members of the
council are evenly divided between
the democrats and the republicans.
The election was hotly contested but
was good-natured in every way. The
only surprise occasioned was the small
majority by Westerfeld. When the
polls closed the democratic leaders
claimed the election for the head of the
ticket by $50, and prominent repub-
licans were willing to concede that
the mayor had been beaten.

Mr.. H. C. McFadden, treasurer elect
of the city of Clayton, is one of the
competent young business men Of the
town. He did duty as a school teach
er in the county when he first came
here from his Indiana home, his
competency and business efficiency
soon winning for him a place in one
of the leading institutions of north
east New Mexico, the First National
Bank, where he served as clerk and
teller for about three years, later ac-
cepting the position of cashier of the
State Bank of Commerce, which he
now holds. His popularity in the city
is indicated in the fact that he was led
by only two men on the ticket, Mr..
Carl Eklund and Mr.. Chris. Otto.

FulgenciO C. de Baca, Alderman

Fulgencio C. de Baca is known to
everyone as the accommodating deputy
treasurer of Union county. That he
thoroughly understands the affairs Of
that office does much toward recon-
mending him for seat on Clayton's
board of aldermen. Like his fellow
members, he is a business man. Beside
extensive property interests Mr.. de
Baca is a member of the directors
board of the First National Bank.
There is no reason why Mr.. de Baca
should not make an estimable record
for himself during his term-we be-
lieve he has the qualifications and
will use them for the good of Clayton.
Mr. de Baca is of democratic nature
he believes that any issue should
be decided on the basis of the greatest
good for the greatest number of peo-
pie.
