man of blood and breeding. and OF
better days in a different world.

as something higher aud finer than
tho drudge that she is obliged to be in
order to support them. They manage
against Incredible odds to preserve
their hope. their joy in the simple
things Of life. and their self-respcct.
The environment that Rachel makes
for her son. and her own jealous over
sight and care, safeguard the boy from
tn" contamination of the streets. Alas.

New Ford Tractor Arrives '

The Ford Tractor, for which the
H. Herzstein Seed co. are agents, ar
rived in Clayton Wednesday, and
is on exhibition in front Of the seed
store.
This tractor is the first of this
make to be received in New Mexico.
1t is the tractor, say the makers,
that will revolution1ze the farm bus
mess as the Ford jitney has the auto
business. "
It is an eight-sixteen, the popular
size for the medium farm as well as
the farm Of many acres, and is
claimed TO be the most versatile
tractor on the market. Equipped
with a rear steering wheel it will
turn a closer corner, allowing closer
plowing or cultivating in the fence

struction it can be used to pull a two

Miss Mary Rope, a graduate nurse,
who has been visiting I'm Clayton for
the past few weeks, has decided TO
remain here and start a maternity
hospital. She has rented the Ham
mond property east OF the school
house and will have the house fit
ted with all conveniences necessary
to the charaGte' of her work. This
enterprise is one greatly needed.
Hospitals of this character are q
convenience of unestImatable value
to the many mothers of the county
who have great difficulty in secur-
ing competent nurses and at times
are unable to even obtain prompt
attention of a physician.
