USE CARE IN APPLYING BRAKE Es

Mr.. Montgomery Of the Union Gar
age says that u motorist cannot jamb
on his brakes without affecting his
purse. Locked wheels are immediate
ly responsible for tire bills. He show
ed the writer new casing which had
been driven only few miles. yet the
rubber was scraped away, exposing
the fabric. At the very moment the
wheels were locked by the brakes, the
tire was passing over stone which
was dragged along with the tire. This
stone sawed right through the fabric
in one spot and pinctured the inner
tube. This careless Customer, obvious
ly the author fhis own misfortune,
complained that there was weak
spot in his tire" Yet all his trouble,
delay and disappointment were caused
by smashing on his brakes when he
should have applied them gently. As
II matter of fact, Mr.. Montgomery
says II car will stop more quickly in
almost every case if the brakes are
applied gently.

Carl AND QUAY COUNTY

The First Regiment of the New
Mexico National Guard, which was
mobilized for border duty, May 9th,
1916, at Columbus, New Mexico, af-
ter the medical examination by Fed
eral examining officers, found them
selves something like three hundred
men short of the required number
which constitutes the peace strength
Of an infantry regiment. This re-
quired number, seven hundred eighty
men. Is essential before the regiment
will bc accepted by the Federal Gov
ernmcnt. The First Regiment is now
waiting to recruit three hundred men
before being mustered into Federal
services as volunteers
On May 2sth, Adiutant General
Herring, Of the New Mexico National
Guard. organized campaign for re-
cruiting in every section Of the state
A part of this campaign will be- car
ried on in the town Of Tucumcari. An
enlisting office will be established in
the Hancock building for the next few
days.
Your State and Country needs the
services Of every able-bodied young
man who is free to enlist in ,he Ma
tional Guard for the term OF two years
A common error has been that tho
public has conceived the idea thai the
First Regiment of Infantry H. to be
mustered in as regular troops Of the
United States Army. This Is not The
fact. The men of the New Mexico
National Guard are waiting accept
ance into the service Of the Federal
Government as Federal volunteers for
the remainder Of their current enlist
